How’s this for a fishing buddy?
A couple of things that came up yesterday you might have missed.
[If HOPIUM is needed, please ask for directions to the nearest Hopium Den. We’ll be happy to help you out.]
I was looking for a copy of a clip from the movie “Spies Like Us” where one character says to another about a question asked, “That information is given out on a need to know basis, and right now, you don’t need to know.” I couldn’t find one.
BUT that DID inspire today’s movie theme. “Dave” is a movie from almost 30 years ago where the REAL president has a stroke while in bed with his mistress, and a body double is used to cover for the fact that the real president is in a coma while succession plans are put in place.
Amazing, isn’t it, the number of hopium topics have actually been in the movies over the years. This one was actually done by Warner Brothers, not Castle Rock, but those set designers…talented bunch.
And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:
Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction.

First Telephone Call
March 10th 1876
Today in 1876, the very first telephone call was made by Alaexander Graham Bell to his assistant Thomas Watson. The first words transmitted were “Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you.”
And some of us remember when Dick Tracy’s watch radio was far-out fiction!

There are so many silly things….I remember when television programs were intentionally pre-distorted so that they’d look more realistic when displayed on curved-face Cathode Ray Tube televisions.
There were a number of TV’s sold in the late 80s where the picture tube had curvature, but ONLY in the horizontal direction. There was little (if any) curvature going from the top of the picture down to the bottom; it was as if the surface were a section out of a cylinder.
Screens were getting flatter back then, even though they were still CRTs. Some were, in fact flat, though I don’t know if they were CRTs or some sort of rear projection technology.
IIRC, SonyTrinitrons were cylindrical in cross section, because their three electron guns were in a line. Zenith was making some flatscreen CRTs….costly as heck.
BTW, did you see my 01:48 comment regarding EFF?
Yeah, that was it, trinitrons!
The EFF event (it isn’t really an EFF event): I wish them luck.

THE MEDIA NARRATIVE IS THAT WHEN ANYONE — EVEN A LITERAL DUCHESS — COMPLAINS OF RACISM IT MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. The public, as usual, is more sensible. Survey reveals public fury at the Sussexes as majority call for Harry and Meghan stripped of their titles, believe they said the wrong thing at the wrong time, do not deserve to be funded… and have damaged reputation of entire Royal Family.

Are we seeing a breakdown of the Media-Racism-Complex?
Delightful post, DP!!!
On a similar “politician abruptly disabled — imposter recruited” plot, there’s Heinlein’s “Double Star”, which may not be all that easy to find.
I was having a rough time of it last night. The Couch Commando just wouldn’t shut up.
Camel Day.
And Joe Biden didn’t win day, but they all are, now.
EVERY day is
bowb your buddyBiden didn’t win day!Okay, serious question.
I am unable to locate the announcement about using Save America PAC at:
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news
AND their donate link takes you to WinRed and that doesn’t seem like the right place.
What gives?
I found a tweet from Jr:
The Hill has a story from Monday about it…
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/542244-trump-vows-no-more-money-for-rinos-while-encouraging-donations-to-his-pac
It was near the end of his CPAC speech – and I wrote it down when I heard it. He said to ONLY give to Save America PAC or DonaldJTrump.com.
In this Wilderness of Mirrors, it will take diligence to ensure that things go to the right place.
They really need to get rid of WinRed. It sucks.
I’m pushing pack to those Republicans that are on Gab.
Went to https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news and clicked on Contribute. Top right side.
Read all of the fine print. Much of the donate site has the look and feel of when we donated the past few years.
The WinRed aspect is concerning. WinRed prolly nothing more than commercial “service” or software that facilitates the transaction.
My bottom line. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news appears to be what I would donate to – 100% Trump’s PAC. NOTHING funneled to R-CON/GOP asshoes.
I did TRY the contact link on the website. It brought me to a page with no way to call or send a query. THIS does bug me. This is a glaring fundamental oversight.
The title on one of the Dave clips references James Newton Howard. At a time, a studio musician/arranger/producer/movie score guy who was BIG in the industry. Just for fun, he released an album “James Newton Howard and Friends” with another bunch of studio musicians (many of whom were “Toto”, when they toured together). There are a bunch of strange things about this album….
It was recorded by a specialty studio called “Sheffield Labs” as direct-to-disc. They’d start a lacquer-disc record lathe for the masters, and it came right out of the mixing board into the lacquer. They actually split the mixer’s output, and the CD version is “direct-to-digital”.
Every instrumentalist but one is playing a Yamaha DX7 synth. The one exception is Jeff Porcaro, on drums.
Each side of the album is one take, everyone playing together, for the entire side (including pauses between tracks). No sequencers, no ProTools, no overdubs, no remix.
And…..the name of the studio? It was on Sheffield Lane, Montecito…..down the hill from where one day Oprah and the Windsors would embarrass themselves.
I actually have that CD. I don’t do a lot of jazzy stuff, but that one was good (and not really like stereotypical jazz).
Out to the garage to grab a beer….it’s raining pretty good.
We’ll see if gil00 gets it tomorrow night.
Cool. I can’t see any of my posts made in the last hour.
First time that’s happened to me.

Yep, I’m seeing me too. Whew.

The Miseducation of America’s Elites
Affluent parents, terrified of running afoul of the new orthodoxy in their children’s private schools, organize in secret.
Bari Weiss
March 9, 2021
https://www.city-journal.org/the-miseducation-of-americas-elites
. . . When I began working on this story, I didn’t feel that much sympathy for these parents. Some 18 million public school children have not set foot in a school in the past year. A study released in early December by McKinsey and Co. found that virtual learning hurt all students, but students of color the most: remote school set them back by three to five months in math, for example. Such numbers do not begin to capture the crippling effects, including suicidal ideation, that this past year has had on what experts are already calling a lost generation.
The parents in this story are not parents with no other options. Most have the capital—social and literal—to pull their kids out and hire private tutors. That they weren’t speaking out seemed to me cowardly, or worse.
The cynical answer for their silence is two words: Ivy League. “There are definitively rumors that the school has like, say, three picks for Duke and that if you stand up against this your kid will get blackballed,” says one mother.
Another explanation is groupthink and social pressure. “Sometimes the smartest people are the easiest ones to fool,” says a father who recently moved his son from one school to another that he judges to be marginally better. “If you made a decision to go on the board of Dalton having espoused all these leftist views forever and you want your kid to get into Harvard, you are not going to stand up and say, ‘wait a second, guys.’ You’re just not going to do it. Most people want to be members of the club.”
I think it’s true that many people would rather violate their stated principles than be iced out of their social network. But this is a situation that goes beyond getting shunted to a bad table at the Robin Hood gala. To resist this ideology is to go against the entire institutional world.
It’s not just Dalton, a school that has committed to being “visibly, vocally and structurally antiracist.” Bain & Company is tweeting about “Womxn’s History Month.” The Cartoon Network is imploring children to “see color.” Coca-Cola employees were recently instructed to “be less white.” You cannot buy or sell the newly problematic Dr. Seuss titles on eBay. This ideology isn’t speaking truth to power. It is the power.
Most alarmingly, the ideology is increasingly prevalent at the local public school. The incoming New York City schools chancellor is a vocal proponent of critical race theory. In Burbank, the school district just told middle- and high school teachers to stop teaching To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men. The Sacramento school district is promoting racial segregation by way of “racial affinity groups,” where students can “cultivate racial solidarity and compassion and support each other in sitting with the discomfort, confusion, and numbness that often accompany white racial awakening.” The San Diego school district recently held a training in which white teachers were told that they “spirit murder” black children.
“I don’t mean to get emotional, I just feel helpless,” said one mother through tears. “I look at the public school and I am equally mortified. I can’t believe what they are doing to everybody. I’m too afraid. I’m too afraid to speak too loudly. I feel cowardly. I just make little waves.” Another tells me: “It’s fear of retribution. Would it cause our daughter to be ostracized? Would it cause people to ostracize us? It already has.”
. . . MORE . . .
“Such numbers do not begin to capture the crippling effects, including suicidal ideation, that this past year has had on what experts are already calling a lost generation.”

They’re not experts, they’re not ‘expert’ at anything.
They deserve to be punched repeatedly until they stop labelling children and purposely creating a Marxist victimization self-fulfilling prophecy.
LOL “experts”
Don’t look for expertise in fancy buildings — look where the rubber meets the road.
Navigating private schools can be a nightmare. Many of the administrators are no different than public school people.
Yeah unfortunately I realized that a little too late and didn’t have enough knowledge to connect the dots.
They’re all educated in the same places.
My granddaughter goes to a private school in CT. The school is also a boarding school. She invited us in the past to come for open house and teacher conference. My husband attendet the classes while I stayed in the library 🙂
He really knows good education and cannot be fooled and he was impressed.
This girl has applied to 5 Universities and has been accepted by all and is offered scholarships from all.
At 17 she has a good head on her shoulders has a job since she was 16 plus school, plus advanced calculus and physics and design.
We were surprised she got scholarships since she does not fit any categories minority or low income or first person attending college.
She was up to 6 grade in public school and her parents did not like what they saw. They live in a upper class neighborhood and school has a good reputation.
One has to be careful with private schools as with public schools. They are not all the same.
My son’s kids are all in public school do very well got good education. One grandson is in engineering at Purdue.
Bain & Company = MITT ROMNEY.
We have been taught by society to value the wrong things. Money, affluence, and an Ivy League education are not the end-all-be-all of human existence.
I am not affluent. We live pretty much paycheck to paycheck. I have BEEN well-off before, and I was not happier, I was sadder. Lots of pressure to socially conform in that world I was in, and the emphasis was always on getting more money so you could have more things. If you didn’t conform, you might lose your status, and thus the things. I’m glad I escaped. The best things in life are not things.
These people raising their kids in the importance of the world of material things are depriving their children in the worst ways, they just don’t know it. They think they are doing the best for them, but they are really doing the worst. These kids will grow up into people who are just like their parents, valuing the material over everything and miserable because of it. They won’t understand why they are miserable, either.
And around and around it goes, because that is the way it is.
I have never understood the social construct around money, affluence, and influence. My parents were not part of those circles when I was growing up, and I had a very negative relationship with all the cool kids school cliques. Our church plant was mostly lower to middle income families, none of the old blue bloods. When I went to college, I went to a largely unknown state school and loved the fact that people were there for degrees and not for college spirit.
I think since then a lot of my frustration with churches is this odd need to turn them into social clubs – society style – that aren’t willing to engage the mission of the church on anything more than a superficial level. In terms of schooling we are focused on homeschooling, as well as keeping the kids involved in their troops and other activities that both mature them and their friends.
I don’t understand people’s need to drive BMWs and live in the right neighborhoods and dress in certain fashions and brands. I buy used cars based on needs, pay cash when possible, and am paying off my mortgage rather than trying to “upgrade” to another neighborhood. If people are snobs, they aren’t going to accept someone outside their insular tribe no matter WHAT they do – Babbitt’s gonna Babbitt. A relationship that is always standing on razor’s edge isn’t a healthy or meaningful relationship – if you are always on the precipice of personal rejection with people, why waste the time trying to placate them? The first moment something bad happens they drop you like a hot potato. If you weren’t part of their good old boys club from the beginning and part of their fraternities, your existence is always provisional to them – there is no grace in a completely performance based system.
All that to say, though – I do not have your perspective of having lived through it! So it’s hard for me to understand the dynamics even if only to critique them 😉
I hear people talk about “messy” relationships but in reality those relationships suffer from superficiality and fragility – so they can’t “bear one another’s burdens” when it really matters. That intolerance of others exposes the hypocrisy of people who drone on about how much we need to be part of and invest in our “community” – which ends up being a euphemism for support their tribe and their project to become the tribal chieftain.
Hear, here!
Hmm. We live in a small, decidedly working class SJersey town, in a 120 year old little victorian, with a paid off mortgage and drive two used cars. BUT . . . there’s also one of these sitting in our little single car detached garage. 97, had it since 2003. No BMW dissing please, fun is important. 😂
LOL I’m sure you aren’t “fleecing” your BMW!
My daughter drives an BMW it is not new and her daughter drives moms old Audi coup sports car 🙂 They hang on to their cars until they cannot be fixed.
We only take it out in the good weather. The two cars we use sit in the driveway. 🙂
They are wonderful cars. When we used to visit Germany we always rented a BMW so not to get killed on the Autobahn.
I drive a Subaru Turbo charge and love it 🙂 Mine is about 10 years old has over 250 thousand miles on it. I had work done on it was about $5000. The mechanic loves it and he only wants to work on the car. The car is now a collector item and people knock on the door and want to buy it.
Sell it before the turbo goes out.
Funny I just looked at some cars in Consumer Report and wondered what car I like. 🙂
Rebadged Mazda Miata?
(ducks 😀 )…
1997 Z3 Roadster, much longer nose than the Miata 😄
A 2002 (model; not year) was the last ‘real’ BMW.
IMO.
It’s funny, I live in an upper middle class neighborhood full of professionals, and the really wealthy are not that far away. After a while, you start laughing at them, and the “upgrading” since everything ages and depreciates. Right now, there’s a lot of renovation going on around here as this is turning into a pass through for a lot of younger couples who move to a different school district when the kids are old enough, and housing in the “good school district” areas is not cheap. There are many who send their kids to private and parochial schools, though. That ticks off the public school people, and they’re not shy about saying that, too. I actually had a client who literally said he got tired of paying for private education. It must have been college considering where they lived at the time. That school district, just add 30% to the price of a house.
Cars…it all depends on taste, I guess. I have thought that some of the older wealthy people I’ve met over the years driving pretty, new Mercedes and Porsches looked ridiculous as it’s sort of a waste of a beautiful car.
Although, this one guy I saw in a grocery store parking lot who was driving a relatively late model Bentley and smoking a cigar looked like he was having a good time.
I have a friend who is old money . What I found they are very frugal drive nice cars but drive them for a long time and take good care of them. They do have nice homes but not in an extravagant way.
I had another friend here in town owner of the once Selby Shoe company. She past a couple of years ago. She was so simple so non assuming in her life style it was refreshing. Old money I really like because of not being splashy.
To often I see people who are want to be super rich over doing it in a distasteful gaudy way. Simple elegance on person in home and cars I appreciate.
We were raised on not much money with hand me downs and all that, used cars and all that, and now, one of us went the material route. I mean, he and his wife are constantly spending on this and that. I would find myself spending money because I could. My sister is a food snob who will frequent a specific store to get higher quality meats. Another of my brothers is hoarding his cash for a condo on a beach.
Sometimes, being raised a certain way doesn’t turn out the way parents really intend.
Yes, that is true. Some people do the exact opposite of how they were raised.
That is true the influences from surroundings are sometimes stronger than the values one gives as parent. The other dynamic comes when people marry. They find their own way.
I know my husband and I found my own way from how we were raised. I think we found a middle ground.
And don;t get me wrong, my experience with extreme affluence was through marriage. My parents were middle class, fairly well-off, but I was left mostly to the care of my grandmother, who was an Appalachian Scot who lived through the Great Depression. She is the one who influenced me the most. She made do with next to nothing. But her meals were the best I’ve ever had, and we were always happy.
One can do the right thing and think he way kids should live but they find their own way.
Looking at my kids they all seem to have a balance between spending and saving and living simple ( frugal).
Of course when people marry things change and parent influence is minimal from when they grew up. They couple have to work things out between them and there are different influences from different family values and upbringing.
I choose not to put my two cents into anything. I know nothing, I hear nothing and I speak nothing. I did my job and now it is their turn how they want to live how they raise their kids. Do I like everything No but it is their life not mine.
I HATED both of these books. HATED them. I also think we were reading stuff beyond our years way too young. And, frankly, I have ZERO use for the Bronte sisters. Jane Austen’s offerings told us more about reality in Regency England and how unjust much of it was. More Shakespeare would have been better.
I did read once that the 20th century writers Steinbeck, Hemingway, Arthur Miller, and somebody else – Upton Sinclair maybe – had a running bet regarding who could write the most depressing stuff. I think Arthur Miller wins that one hands down.
Do Fertility Drugs Cause Cancer?
by Kallie Fell, Executive Director on MARCH 9, 2021
https://www.cbc-network.org/2021/03/do-fertility-drugs-cause-cancer/
My conclusion: I’d like to be optimistic, but I am not yet convinced. Without further studies and a donor registry we cannot fully ascertain the long-term risk of fertility drugs. It is not enough to extrapolate data from the increasingly large number of studies of long-term risks looking only at infertile women who undergo ovarian stimulation in order to produce eggs for their personal IVF cycles. The problem with equating these two groups is that they differ in several ways; for example, at the time of their egg retrieval, infertile women are generally older than egg donors. If the fertility industry has nothing to hide, why do they still fail to set up registries to track egg-donors or young women subjecting themselves to fertility drugs?
There are many cases where women have willingly endured tremendous hardship that dramatically shortened their short-term survival to ensure the birth of their offspring….and cancer at some random later date is certainly less of a challenge…..but egg donors are monetizing a revenue stream based on an quirk of biology. It’s an entirely different case.
From what I’ve heard…the egg-donor sites do in fact, record who the egg-donors are.
They show a picture of the egg-donor to prospective customers.
The price per egg can vary…depending on how desirable the egg-donor is.
My daughter was offered $20K to be an egg-donor, by a gay couple that she knows.
That’s because she is strong, healthy, intelligent and has 2 beautiful children.
She turned them down, btw.
I was relieved.
She said the egg-donation process is painful and she didn’t like the thought of having a child out there that she had no input in raising.
On the other side is sperm donation. My brilliant older son doesn’t want children. I told him he should donate sperm so at least he improves the gene pool!
I need to post more on this topic – it doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. A lot of shady business there, unethical buying and selling practices in a largely unregulated industry.
Surrogacy and international surrogacy is a similar problem.
Jennifer Lahl’s been on the front of this for a while – I recommend CBC very highly.

First Independent Report On Uyghur Treatment Finds China In Breach of 1948 U.N. Genocide Convention
By Charlotte Pence Bond
Mar 9, 2021 DailyWire.com
https://www.dailywire.com/news/first-independent-report-on-uyghur-treatment-finds-china-in-breach-of-1948-u-n-genocide-convention
In the first independent, non-governmental legal examination of China’s human rights offenses against the Uyghur population, the think tank Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy found that the Chinese government is responsible for “committing genocide against the Uyghurs in breach of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.”
The 1948 Genocide Convention “is an instrument of international law that codified for the first time the crime of genocide,” according to the United Nations’ website. The convention was the “first human rights treaty” that the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted. Its purpose was to ensure that the human rights horrors of World War II were never repeated.
The report explains the ways in which the Chinese government is in violation of committing genocide against the Uyghur people. As outlined by Article II of the Genocide Convention, the act of genocide includes the requirement of “intent to destroy” a group. This intent does not necessarily need to come from direct acknowledgements. The report continues, “Intent can be inferred from a collection of objective facts that are attributable to the State, including official statements, a general plan, State policy and law, a pattern of conduct, and repeated destructive acts, which have a logical sequence and result — destruction of the group as such, in whole or in substantial part.”
The group found that there is evidence of “High-level statements of intent and general plan” from President Xi Jinping’s declaration of the “People’s War on Terror” focusing on a majority of Uyghur-populated regions, with top authorities then making commands to “round up everyone who should be rounded up,” and “wipe them out completely…destroy them root and branch.”

[VIDEO] Marjorie Spills Beans to Dinesh on Why GOP Keeps Losing, Shares Her Powerful Plant to Stop it
She’s a genius folks!
BY SOPHIE O’HARA
MARCH 9, 2021
https://www.waynedupree.com/2021/03/marjorie-taylor-greene-dinesh-gop-losing/
Marjorie Taylor Greene could quite possibly be the most revolutionary member of our government since Donald Trump.
No joke, this woman is literally fighting with every ounce of energy she has to bring real change to Washington D.C.
During this amazing interview with Dinesh D’Souza, Marjorie lays down exactly why the GOP just keeps losing fight after fight — and quite honestly it’s pure laziness.
Majorie explains that the GOP is content just doing the bare minimum when it comes to their duties in our government.
They’d rather sit back and just collect their paychecks than stick their neck out for the American people.
But Marjorie is fighting back against this big time and she is already putting in place amazing changes that’ll start to shift the government back to the people.
^^^ Excellent interview to listen in on while scrolling.
Exclusive from Gen. Flynn: 5 Lessons I Learned When the Deep State Came After Me and My Family
By Michael Flynn
Published March 8, 2021 at 11:20am
Quote from article:
When fighting for truth, the most important place to start is to be well-grounded in the Truth itself. I am referring to Truth with a capital T, as in “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
Faith in God is an essential part of the fight to restore American greatness. Our personal faith is inextricably linked to our personal liberties.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the great French author of the groundbreaking work “Democracy in America,” wrote “Upon my arrival in the United States, the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention…
“The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other.”
Gen Flynn is really stepping up into his leadership calling.
I have been re-watching his two Billings interviews for the inspiration.
Extreme Winter Weather Slows Traffic: AAR
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
https://www.railwayage.com/freight/extreme-winter-weather-slows-traffic-aar/
The Association of American Railroads, in reporting U.S. rail traffic for the week ending Feb. 27, 2021, as well as volumes for February 2021, noted that volume took a polar vortex hit.
“During February, snow and ice covered wide swaths of the country, including many areas that rarely see harsh winter weather wreaking havoc on all forms of transportation, including rail,” said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray. “In fact, total U.S. rail carloads in the third week of February were the lowest for any week in AAR’s records that go back to 1988. While carloads rebounded during February’s final week to a more typical level, the month ended with noticeably lower total volumes. On the positive side, both intermodal and grain traffic remained relatively strong through three of the four weeks of the month.”
U.S. railroads originated 824,636 carloads in February 2021, down 11.1%, or 102,972 carloads, from February 2020. U.S. railroads also originated 1,015,995 containers and trailers in February 2021, up 1.8%, or 18,184 units, from the same month last year. Combined U.S. carload and intermodal originations in February 2021 were 1,840,631, down 4.4%, or 84,788 carloads and intermodal units from February 2020.
In February 2021, three of the 20 carload commodity categories tracked by the AAR each month saw carload gains compared with February 2020. These were grain, up 12,342 carloads or 15.7%; pulp & paper products, up 578 carloads or 2.8%; and metallic ores, up 221 carloads or 1.4%. Commodities that saw declines in February 2021 from February 2020 included: coal, down 31,837 carloads or 12.5%; crushed stone, sand & gravel, down 24,320 carloads or 33%; and motor vehicles & parts, down 14,336 carloads or 20.4%.
Excluding coal, carloads were down 71,135 carloads, or 10.6%, in February 2021 from February 2020. Excluding coal and grain, carloads were down 83,477 carloads, or 14%.

Lidl to enact $15 starting hourly wage in Philadelphia
Hard discount grocer also set $15 or more level in Long Island, Atlanta
Russell Redman 1 | Mar 05, 2021
https://www.supermarketnews.com/retail-financial/lidl-enact-15-starting-hourly-wage-philadelphia
Arlington, Va.-based Lidl US said yesterday that the wage increase, for both full- and part-time employees, takes effect April 5. The hard discount grocer operates seven stores in the Philadelphia market, including two in the city plus locations in Folsom, Royersford, Norristown, Lansdale and Exton, Pa.
More than 150 employees will see an immediate increase in pay, Lidl said. Starting in 2020, the retailer began providing full health care coverage and other benefits to all part-time employees. Full-time workers already were eligible for the benefits package. And last March, Lidl developed a program with health insurer CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield to give all of its employees access to full COVID-19 medical coverage at no cost.
Lidl also announced this past January that all U.S. employees who get a full COVID-19 vaccination will receive $200 in extra pay.
. . . The new starting wage for the Philadelphia area more than doubles the current minimum wage in Pennsylvania and represents one of the highest starting wages for grocery retailers in the city, Lidl reported.
. . . Major grocery retailers that have raised or plan to increase their starting hourly wage to $15 or more include Amazon/Whole Foods Market, Target and Costco Wholesale. Walmart said in mid-February that wage investments will lift its average hourly pay to over $15, while Kroger reported in its fiscal 2020 earnings call yesterday that its average hourly wage rose to $15.50 from $15 last year and, including full benefits, climbs to over $20.

Everything about government-enforced minimum wages is so hurtful, backward, and wrong. It just makes me ill.
And we don’t force China to pay their employees minimum wage. How is that fair?
At least now we have a minimum wage with Mexican automotive workers.
And it’s a giant F-U to everyone who has been educated poorly and needs some field work in “being useful” before they’re worth whatever the minimum wage is set to be. It’s like, “you’re worthless and you’ll always be worthless, and you can never grow out of being worthless….”
Of course, but they don’t care.
They want $15 minimum wage – DOUBLE – because it’ll reset the U.S. economy toward exporting manufacturing jobs to China.
That’s what it’s about. CCP getting ROI on Buyden.

Mass Resistance to gather and lobby for socially conservative legislation in Texas
https://www.gatekeepersonline.com/post/mass-resistance-to-gather-and-lobby-for-socially-conservative-legislation-in-texas
Bold new legislation on cultural issues has been passed throughout the country. Texas MassResistance has produced a packet of sixteen legislative priorities to push back against radical social projects such as LGBT agenda, including gender transitioning of minors, grooming and harassment in schools and workplaces, as well as abortion propaganda in schools, suppression of free speech through “cancel culture”, obscenity and abuse in educational settings, fraud in public research, misuse of sexual assault response programs, and the erasure of motherhood and fatherhood.
Texas gained national attention last year when it petitioned the Supreme Court to intervene in the 2020 Presidential election in Texas v. Pennsylvania. Texas’s Attorney General signaled to the world that our state is not just another conservative state, but rather a standard for people who hold traditional and religious values. Yet other states, such as Alabama and Montana, are leading the in fight against gender transitioning in minors and stopping Big Tech censorship and cancel culture. Other nations like France, Poland and Hungary have intervened aggressively in school curriculum so that reckless left-wing extremism does not displace the legitimate academic disciplines.
Texas’s unique legislative system only allows state lawmakers to convene for six months every two years. If they take no action on our legislative priorities in 2021, there is little hope that anything will change in 2023. Meanwhile, future generations are being systematically indoctrinated into a harmful worldview that will only hasten the collapse of our culture into irreversible decay.
The rest of the world is fighting. The Lone Star State is dragging its feet. Why won’t Texas lead? Why are Texas voters told every two years that nothing can be done? As Jesus said, “If they say these things when the wood is green, what will happen when the wood is dry?” If they can’t do anything with Republicans controlling the legislature and the governorship, what will they do when the Democrats are in control? Texas Mass Resistance activists will answer these and other questions as we lobby the state legislature.

https://justthenews.com/nation/economy/us-employers-added-379000-jobs-february-unemployment-rate-drops-62-report
U.S. employers added 379,000 jobs in February, and the unemployment rate fell to 6.2%, according to a Labor Department report released Friday.
Economists attributed the improved numbers to lower COVID numbers, as more Americans continue to get vaccinated.
The increased number of jobs in February was the most in four months, according to NPR.
Now that Team Fraud is in charge of generating Employment statistics…I do not trust them.
The Unemployment numbers during Hussein’s reign were bogus and didn’t reflect the true unemployment situation.
Underlying rule — if it gores someone’s ox, it’s been faked.
Yeah, well, the unemployment numbers like so many other gov stats have been gamed for a long time. . .

There’s a reason that Trump and his advisors kept referring to new workers “coming out of the woodwork” and pundits being amazed how there could be so many people employed. For years BLS totally gave up on people and excluded them from the economy.
Michael, Appreciate all of the news, information and insights you post.
My daughter switches jobs she got tired working from home even though she got paid a lot. Now she goes every day to work for the same pay but is happier. The company is open. The previous company German had closed her department because of covid and she worked almost for a year from home.
We Need to Start Supporting American Farmers or They Will Disappear
Living in Northern Lower Michigan, I consider myself lucky that we have an abundance of farmers and farm markets in our community.
BY STEVEGRUBER.COM
MARCH 9, 2021
https://www.lifezette.com/2021/03/we-need-to-start-supporting-american-farmers-or-they-will-disappear/
Living in Northern Lower Michigan, I consider myself lucky that we have an abundance of farmers and farm markets in our community. From summer through fall, we have a wealth of places where we can buy local fruits and vegetables, pumpkins, honey, beef, poultry, fish and many other products.
Even in the winter, we have some creative an ambitious farmers who are doing what they can to provide themselves year-round revenue while offering us products in the snowy months, utilizing things like hoop houses and cold storage.
We have farmers markets and roadside stands but we also have smaller grocery stores and retailers who are very open to selling our local and Michigan products.
But what if you live somewhere you don’t have the option to buy locally or even products from your own state? Maybe you live in a big city without farmers or farmland anywhere close by or your state isn’t really known for growing a whole lot of produce due to its climate or soil.
You can still buy American.
It’s really that easy.
You have to pay attention to what you are buying – and talk to your local retailers if you are not seeing American produce available to you.
America needs to be food independent. It’s just as important as being emergency independent, maybe more so.
As the American Farm Bureau Federation says, “Food security is critical to our national security.”
. . . Globalization and a four-year anti-American Democratic agenda is going to kill the American farmer. While the larger growers might be able to keep things going for a while, the smaller farms are going under with no help in sight.
In a country that was founded on farming, it’s a shame what is happing across our fruited plains but the power lies within all of us to be educated shoppers and to buy American whenever possible.
amen to that !
if it’s from Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, Honduras, I don’t buy it…
I’ll go to another store and another produce section where American produce is sold…but that might turn into a major quest.
unfortunately, many of the Big Grocers are on-board with the Sustainable/Green agenda…and getting massive kick-backs & incentives for toeing that line, too…so even if I were to nudge a produce mgr to BUY AMERICAN /SELL AMERICAN, he really might not have much say in it…
here in SWFL, aside from our famous citrus and strawberries, most other produce is imported from elsewhere…some tomatoes are local sometimes…sometimes cantaloupe…
but way too much fruit is coming from south of the border…
including….blueberries.
…from places like…. Guatemala.
huh ??
That was one positive from Whole Foods markets. They worked hard to locally source. Even sending local egg producers on trips to be trained in pasturing soy free chickens so they could provide their eggs to Whole Foods. In fact, they are so good at sourcing locally that other markets somethings have to work harder to find local. Which isn’t exactly all good. But it was commendable. And yes, Whole Foods prices are highe. And now they are owner by the slavers of Amazon.
Farmer’s markets are a great way to do that.
Thank you for this, Michaelh! I live in a rural area of Shenandoah County VA and my family are mostly in rural Missouri. So I shared this plus a second thought early this morning before work. What the article made me wonder is what is a “hoop house.” I see them around but never heard them called that. Also, cold storage reminded me that last week my hometown’s ice house burned. You could get big blocks of ice or crushed ice there. And probably also beer. It also reminded me that on a road around Hannibal Missouri and Quincy Illinois, there was underground cold storage built into a hill. That would reduce the cost of cooling things stored there. From the outside it looked like a row of open entries. Inside it looked something like an oversized parking garage with huge rock pillars. Are there lots of underground food storage sites in the US?
I had a friend that worked at a Kraft warehouse – huge, underground, and 100% refrigerated. Most of the details of those warehouses are trade secrets so I don’t know much about them – but he had some humdinger stories there.
Public Schools Refuse to Open. Give the Taxpayers Their Money Back
03/04/2021 Ryan McMaken
https://mises.org/wire/public-schools-refuse-open-give-taxpayers-their-money-back
In many school districts across the nation, public school teachers still don’t want to go back to work. Private sector workers have long been hard at work in kitchens, at construction sites, and in hardware and grocery stores. Meanwhile, from Seattle, to Los Angeles, and to Berkeley, California, Teachers’ Union representatives insist they simply can’t be expected to perform the on-site work in the expensive facilities that the taxpayers have long been paying for.
This week, for example, some schoolteachers in Colorado’s Jefferson County turned out to protest the district’s plan to return to limited in-person learning later this month. These protestors still insist it’s unsafe, even though the very institutions these people have long parroted in favor of endless lockdowns—the CDC and the World Health Organization, for instance—say reopening schools should be a “top priority.” Moreover, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine have concluded “The lower risk of transmission of the virus by younger children and reported milder or moderate illness in this age group suggest the appropriateness of in-person instruction for primary and elementary grades.”
But that’s not good enough for public school teachers. So, in many cases, parents who actually want or need to send their students to an in-person school must go to the private sector instead. The government schools in these places can’t be bothered, but the private schools are racing to serve the public.
The most absurd aspect of all this is that even when public schools effectively tell parents and students to “get lost,” taxpayers still have to pony up the cash to pay for the public schools. If any private sector industry tried to function this way, it would be denounced in no uncertain terms. But it doesn’t happen this way because in the private sector—unlike the public schools—business owners and employees don’t get paid if they refuse to work. In other words, the customers can take their money and leave.
This disconnect between the taxpaying public and the public schools has always existed, of course, but the covid-19 panic has made it far more obvious to the general public. The time has come to finally allow parents and taxpayers to pull their money out of these unresponsive and expensive boondoggles.
. . . MORE . . .
Vouchers. Abolish the Federal Department of Education (there’s fewer than 4,000 employees there, last I checked). Pursue antitrust against any school districts with more than 100,000 students. Abolish public-employee unions. Wait three years to get clarity on 2nd order targets…..
That would be nice, especially since to many of them are really just indoctrination centers.
Doubt it will happen, though. I have my reasons.
So much good stuff. Praying for Milo.
Thanks, DePat.
Yeah, that was a stunner. I do think there are quite a number of men out there who are chaste the way he is now.
Sometimes, it just takes somebody to give a little push.
Joseph Sciambra is a rather famous one. I’ve read his blog for a long while. He has been to hell and back. His book is a harrowing tale.
https://josephsciambra.com/
I have a friend who told me some things in confidence about his experiences. He did go chaste. There were a lot of issues there, though.
He’s pretty open about his story. I won’t detail it here.
At some point, as men age the whole “gay” thing stops working for them. Often it’s that they simply aren’t young and attractive anymore. They end up having to rethink things at that point.
Not to mention the physical repercussions, which are particularly troublesome after years of abuse.
Well, damn. You can’t even track a UPS shipment any more without being connected to the Twitter/Google/Facebook Borg, or giving your computer over to random javascript.
And it’s not like I have anyone I can complain to — officially, my Representative is Ro Khanna, the commie, and my Senators are ChiSpyDiFeinstein and Padilla — who orchestrated election fraud so well he is now in Federal office.
I guess my package will show up or it won’t. It was supposed to get here on the 9th.
Update — did the call-in thing….once to get package information (“Tomorrow, Tomorrow, it’s always Tomorrow, you’re always a day a-way…..”) only to be dropped, then once to see if I could talk to a human….only to be dropped — but with the limited office hours excuse. I’ll probably call Tomorrow to see if I can put a bug in someone’s ear.
“I don’t do apps.”
“I don’t sign in.”
“I don’t disclose personal data.”
“You can’t have my cellphone or email information.”
“I don’t allow javascript to run on my machine unless I’ve reviewed it for safety outside my machine — and I’m far too busy to do so any time soon.”
“I don’t do facebook, google, twitter, linkedin, or any other stupid site that makes me run an app or log in.”
“If you have a problem with this, I’ll assume that you don’t want me as a customer, and that you want me to write to my elected representatives to kneecap your business……oh, and that you have no problem if I tell all my online friends about it.”
STAND YOUR GROUND!

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
Heh. This is the first time I’ve watched this roll out in real time….
Hope you were blessed by it, Coothie!!!
I was. Not seeing it all-at-once like you do the morning after helps you realize the love that is applied at each step and the way it is carefully assembled.
I always thought it was nice, but now I have even more of an appreciation.
Awww…How sweet of you to say, Coothie!!!
God Bless You Real Good today and always – but, I see He already has!!!
We are all blessed by God’s sweet air and sunshine….but also sweetly blessed by our companionship. Thank you for tonight’s/this morning’s roll-out. They’re always nice, but I could see more of this one.
Amen goes right there, Coothie!!!
Most welcome, Coothie – hope you realize I had to get up very early to bump into you!!!
I chanced to be up late, and you happened to get up early, and we got to see things happen. But when you’ve gotten up late and I get up (in my time zone) early, they’re still inspirational.
We just happened to share these moments where I got to see you assemble it.
My conscious time is swiftly ebbing, but I’ll have more beautiful thoughts from seeking the kingdom of God.
I wonder as I wonder if what I do daily has any affect – moves someone in the right direction – from darkness to light – and you have so graciously confirmed my daily message – Thank You, Coothie!!!
Have a Blessed and Happy Day!!!
It’s always a blessing to me, duchess. Please don’t stop!
Nice to know, Linda!!! God Bless You!!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

there’s a typo/misspelling of a word in that Scripture I posted, BTW.
Saw that, Smiley – but, the brain fills in the blanks so no matter – 😀
didn’t notice it til I’d posted it.
As I was reading it – I noticed – but thought nothing of it – people make mistakes – if I wanted to know exactly what it says – I would check the Bible – the idea is there – the thought is there – so I am happy!!!

$1400 Is Plenty
What is HOPIUM?
Definition: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hopium
1. An addiction to false hopes.
2. The state of wallowing in self-pity combined with the delusion of potential fame/greatness. One in this state will hope for others to pity or save them, yet paradoxically romanticize their own struggle, pitying themselves and never moving on to achieve their dreams.
“She thought that, if she wanted to, she could write the next great american novel, but because of Hopium, she remained the same alcoholic cat lady until her dying day.”
2. In securities trading a trader is said to be under the influence of the fictional narcotic hopium when she/he finds themselves deeply in the negative on the wrong side of a trade. The trader will continue to hold the position in the hopes that the security will return to the value at which they acquired it. (eg. staying long in a stock position when the price continues to plummet)
“Cramer, you are totally smoking hopium man, thinking that stock will go back up anytime soon. Just sell it and get out!”
3. a political narcotic distributed by vested economic interests that makes moderate social liberalism, ethnicity, individual purity of heart, and soaring rhetoric appear to be substantive progressive change; co-optation of the left by vested economic interests.
“The health care bill is a triumph of hopium over experience.”
4. (mine) A theory, speculation, conjecture, narrative made up and published for unknown reasons – either noble and well-meaning, or for profit, fame or for the feeling of power and influence over others. Hopium is wishful thinking at best and hokum at worst.
———
Believing online personalities’ theories, conjectures, speculations, prophecies, pronouncements, prophecies is risky business.
Some of them get pretty far out and creepy…. claiming to be born of aliens, reptilians, time travel, UFOs.
Even those who claim to be Christians or God’s prophets/prophetesses should be regarded with utmost caution. I’ve seen too much in churches and from church leaders to put any hope in them.
Some of them use shopped and out of date photos and videos as evidence to prove their conspiracy theories. They are expert at making unprovable points based on unnamed inside sources.
Hopium is really just unreliable, even dishonest, people and sites.
The movie set theory, the 1871 corporation theory, the numerology and gematria theories, or quoting Q #s like Bible verses, the theory that Trump and the military are really in charge….are all hopium.
Putting one’s Trust and Hope in Q, The Plan, in Wictor, Wray, Ezra Cohen-Watnick, are also imbibing Hopium.
Even Trump is not infallible or a good source for our hope and trust. Look at the effects of the shutdown and the vaccines. Look at the three Trump SCOTUS justices – especially Gorsuch, who with his recent ruling, has sentenced employers to retain an employee who decides to go gay or trans.
It would be likewise foolish to put trust and hope in one’s own sinful fallible soul: heart, feelings, mind, wisdom or understanding.
The only thing worthy or our hope and trust is the One True Holy GOD, Father, Son, Holy Spirit and His Word, Will, Way of Truth, Love, Life, Peace, Joy, Freedom and Redemption.
Like Steve, I’ll gladly eat Crow if I’m wrong. I’ll go one better and eat Humble Pie for dessert.
Well said
I put my faith in God. That doesn’t mean that I don’t believe there are things happening behind the scenes that we can’t know. Nor can you know. I doubt that anyone here is putting their total “hope and trust in Q”, but not paying attention to things Q has said in the past seems a strange thing to say on a Q site. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m seeing a lot of intolerance since Steve’s Saturday post that is driving people over to Marica’s site. I love Marica and read her site also, but I would hope we wouldn’t get into another Sundance situation where only one orthodoxy is allowed.
Perhaps some folks are mistaking disagreement with intolerance, caution with condemnation, disbelief with derision.
That’s exactly what the left does.
I’ve received mocking and derision for not believing the theories and anger for pointing out discrepancies in photos, dates, etc.
That’s also just what the left does.
If you want to believe, fine. I’m not criticizing you all who do, I’m only criticizing the theorists with illogical and unproven theories.
They are doing exactly what the fake news does.
However, on our free speech blog, I’m not going to be forced to walk on eggshells – like we had to OT with SD and the mods – in order to protect the fragility of the Hopium theories.
We all should welcome it when others show us when we believe fake news, fallacies, lies and fables. That’s how we will keep one another from being conned and deceived.
TRUTH must be the highest goal for everyone of us.
“So Christ himself gavethe apostles,the prophets,the evangelists,the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. – Ephesians 4:11-16
Inaccuracies, discrepancies, and the like are a particular pet peeve of mine — as are gematria and numerology. We have a responsibility to research what we’re putting out there and to make sure it’s accurate, as far as possible. And sites that consistently put out inaccurate pics and disproved theories do not deserve the time of day, IMO.
I can’t tell people what or whom to believe, but I agree with you that truth has to pointed out, or we are no better than the lying Left. Fairy tales for the sake of hope do more harm than good. And extra-biblical soothsaying is in a harmful category of its own.
Gematria is Bravo Sierra.
And (more of concern to you than to me) I got the impression the Bible looked down on it.
It’s not even being done right, anyway. J should be 10, K 20, L 30, and so on. S should be 100, T 200. That way something like TKB is 222.
A lot of ancient and even medieval cultures used their alphabets as numbers this way, including Hebrew, Greek, Russian and Georgian. Rome’s system was very atypical, but it’s what we in the west think of as “normal” for a pre-Arabic (Indian actually) number system.
That’s not what I heard in your post. Telling people they indulge in hopium if they do x, y, or z sounds pretty derogatory to me. If you disagree, that’s great. Let’s hear your reasons. That’s exactly what I would like to hear from people – discussion – not labeling them and calling them names. That’s what stops discussion. I thought the whole point of this board is to engage in discussion about what is happening, including posting theories, which people can give reasons to agree or disagree with. Talking about the things going on that don’t add up is not indulging in hopium, it’s paying attention. And i’m not talking about out-of-date or photoshopped photos. We can all agree that those aren’t real.
I’m not ready, nor will I ever be, to indulge in the darkness of despair. I’m a Christian, so I’ll always have hope. God can topple everything that happened in the last few months in an instant, if He so chooses. Or He could choose to do it slowly. Some would call that hopium.
Saying someone is inbibing hopium isn’t calling them names.
Truly, the choice isn’t hopium or being a ‘debbie downer’ and despair – or hopium or no hope and being brain dead. That’s what some have claimed.
No one is telling anyone to stop watching alien reptilian gaia online gurus with unnamed sources, or playing gematria games with Q posts or believing/supporting the online prophets and prophetesses.
That’s entirely their business.
But demanding silence or approval is a leftist tactic.
I have concerns – because of past experiences with leaders in church and politics. We have been taken down the primrose path too many times.
No one is telling anyone to stop watching alien reptilian gaia online gurus with unnamed sources, or playing gematria games with Q posts or believing/supporting the online prophets and prophetesses.
That’s conflating everyone who disagrees with you as being total loons.
But demanding silence or approval is a leftist tactic.
Who is demanding that? I don’t. And I haven’t seen it here. As I said, I love discussion. Posting something that goes against the doom and gloom doesn’t mean someone totally believes everything about whatever they are posting. There is often truth in disinformation, as Q told us. I believe in closely watching and discussing what seems “off.”
My description is of the people putting out the videos and their biographies – including their own words.
I’m sure I’m coming across too adamant and strong – but I’ve been on the receiving end of major betrayals over 7.6 decades. I’ve got a major inner suspicious cat.
Although Q is n the name, there’s no requirement that you believe in Q or follow Q…just a requirement that you don’t try to shout down discussion of Q. Many people here got the boot from CTH for discussing Q, it was verboten. This was a refuge from that.
No prohibition against arguing that Q was bunkum (though few here did).
Exactly right. There shouldn’t be an attempt to squash discussion either way. What there should be is reasoned discussion and respect for those who see things differently.
Is someone here failing to do that?
And no name calling or insults.
GA/FL very good post. Thank you. I do however hope that Trump will work for 2022 to help elect good Congress critters 🙂
The difference between hopiom and Hope is stark.
To many people think hopiom is the same as Hope that we as Christians put our trust in.
On Bannon Miller was there he said ” the Trump team is working on election integrity and getting MAGA senators and house members in.” Bannon has many people who are big MAGA people who volunteer to do all sorts of things to help on grass root level.
God Be with them !
Good news about election integrity.
Yes Trump and his team seem working hard in the background so what happened in 2020 not happen in 2022..
I’m very concerned about satellite and online manipulation of the election machines – and – crooked election workers – and – fake ballots…dead voters – fake voters, etc.
So am I. I did not hear about satellites .
I am more concerned about the splintering of Trump supporters on Internet .
Bannon on War Room at 5 PM is going to talk about that. People are angry and letting it out on each other instead where the blame is on the dems. We cannot split then we never see a Trump in 2024.

I tend to agree, but…
It could get stolen easier from a Church, than from the Louvre Museum.
Having been to both, I disagree. When it was in Notre Dame, the Crown of Thorns was kept in a locked vault. At the Louvre…it’s so big, the thing could get lost.
Ah…well I just figured that the Louvre could afford a much bigger security force.

And since the muzlim invasion, so many Churches are getting broken into and vandalized.
😕😞
THOUSANDS of European churches have been burned to the ground since the ‘migration’.
And because of apostasy and dropping attendance, many have either been bulldozed and the land sold, or turned into Mosques…
Switzerland has just banned full-body Burkas, as well as the other Moslem coverings for womem (Niqab, Hijab, etc.) having banned Minarets (the little towers on Mosques) a few years back. They’re very cognizant of what both of those mean: the Burka being full submission to “Allah” and the misanthropic Moslem male meanness, and the Minarets being a symbol of the target land (e.g. north Germany) being conquered by the Mozzies.
Oddly enough (ha) the feminazis here are silent on this…..
“it’s so big, the thing could get lost.”
Shades of the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The Church’s secret tunnel – hidden by the Jerusalem Municipality
In the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City, an area dense with historical and archaeological treasures, a church digs an illegal tunnel
Despite its findings, the Municipality has not charged the Church municipal land taxes for the illegal tunnel, while all other residents of the city are expected to pay these and other taxes and tariffs or face heavy penalties.
“When the details began to come into focus, we demanded over and over that the Jerusalem Municipality publicize the documentation of its findings, as required by the Freedom of Information Law. We further demanded that oversight, inspection and law enforcement procedures be taken immediately, to restore the site to its previous condition either by sealing off or demolishing the tunnel,” said Attorneys Avi Segal and Yael Cinnamon of the Regavim Movement. “We filed this petition only when our repeated requests to the Jerusalem Municipality were not answered.”
Posted this last night but here is a little more on woke Gospel.
Pay attention to the logical fallacy because more and more of this leftard BS will be entering the church and corrupting the meaning of Christ.
This guy is young. Perfect type for a Youth Pastor position.
Perfect type to plant corruption in young, public educated school children.
That garbage about the woman teaching Jesus a lesson has been going around for a long time. It was about feminism when it first started.
The unbelievers, idolators can’t stand a masculine Jesus, or a Divine, King and Savior Jesus.
They have their own ideas and don’t want to submit to His.
Just like Mohammed, who demoted Jesus to a mere prophet and himself to chief prophet – the unbelievers try to cut Jesus down to their level or lower.
GA –
I know what you are mentioning but this is much more evil.
This is twisting scripture exactly as Satan did in the Garden and alot of litte Eves and Evettes are going to flow right down his throat.
This guy is smooth and manipulative.
If you’re in a mega-church, pay attention to any youth pastors. Especially young adult pastors.
Churches of all kinds can be dangerous places with dangerous people. I’m an old biddy – and have seen it all in churches over 7 decades.
What I get out of the New Testament is that Christ embraced all marginalized and people of all class standings who wanted to hear the Word of God. I say he was inclusive.

BardsFM got suspended from YouTube for (2) weeks because he mentioned that Joe Biden was not president.
It’s time to stop only posting videos on YouTube. Most of the videos I want to see are now on Rumble and BitChute and others as well. Eventually, YT will have nothing left but a leftist cesspool, just like Twitter.
Agree – Scott knew – and yet – he kept posting his daily videos on YT – now – he has to locate all of those videos they allegedly deleted.
What a waste of time!!! All of that work lost – unless he has backups.
Appears to have no presence on Rumble.
Not on BitChute, either, but an anon there seems to have copied some of the Bards videos to Rumble because he didn’t trust YouTube. Ha!
Scott is in the process of developing his own channel and server – so – perhaps, right now – it does not pay him to spend too much time in BitChute or Rumble.
He has had problems with Podbean, too, but that is all he has right now – so he is doing the best he can – I guess.
I could actually ban YouTube videos here “back to links”, but then I’d just be like *T*H*E*M*. But yeah – people who support free speech should post their videos elsewhere to be effective.

MELISSA RED PILL THE WORLD – A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
MILITARY OCCUPATION 11.3 – YOU’LL LOVE 11.11 – NEW GOVERNMENT! ACT OF 1871 REVERSED! 3-9-21
About the Act of 1871 – it was repealed not long after it was written – and it was written to PROTECT the new USA from counterfeit entities trying to steal our new nation’s identity – to stop imposters – it was to stop IDENTITY THEFT – see paragraph 4 below.
Article:
The Act of 1871 Was Repealed – by Anna von Reitz – July 5, 2020 by David Robinson – https://mainerepublicemailreport.com/2020/07/05/the-act-of-1871-was-repealed/
The Act of 1871 was indeed passed in 1871. Repealed in 1874. Then by piecemeal finally revived and passed in 1877, implemented in 1878. And it had precious little to do with us, as it was actually a restructuring of one of the foreign Federal Subcontractors to better avoid culpability for and to profit from crimes that the same Guilty Parties had already committed against us.
After the Civil War, the victorious Union Army that fought for the Northern Confederation reorganized what was left of the Federal Territorial Government to settle the bankruptcy Lincoln started in 1863, which he declared the day after he issued the first-ever Executive Order—- General Order 100.
Among other things prior to the Act of 1871, a Scottish Commercial Corporation merely calling itself “The United States of America, Incorporated” foisted off it’s corporate Articles of Incorporation as “the” Constitution in 1868.
So they formed a substitute entity, a foreign commercial corporation, named it after us, and started doing business “in our names”—- impersonating us and illegally accessing our assets and credit— starting in 1868.
And in 1871, they began this same process of impersonation “for” the District of Columbia— by creating the District of Columbia Municipal Corporation.
Call me old-fashioned, but the Switcheroo that took place in 1868 is what should be of most concern to us as Americans, and only secondarily should the corollary fraud taking place in the District of Columbia concern us.
In both cases, the actual government was usurped and our assets seized upon illegally and unlawfully via members of “the US” Congress pretending to “represent” us and all operated under conditions of non-disclosure, fraud, breach of trust, and deceit.
To put it bluntly— instead of functioning as our Fiduciary Deputies in the office we defined for them, these Post-Civil War reprobates evaded that responsibility and began operating as “Trustees” of our State assets, and as our purported proxies voting “for” us in their own corporate shareholder elections.
And they never told us a word about all these arrangements being made “for” us and in our names.
The actual American Government was thus by-passed and settled into dormancy while our Employees contrived to become our Masters—-literally.
Yes, the Act of 1871 is a window on the process of this criminality overtaking a foreign subcontractor of ours, but that’s hardly our concern. A subcontractor of ours could choose to reorganize its own internal affairs and decide to incorporate its business and it’s no skin off our noses, is it?
What is really important about the Act of 1871 is that it shows what went on in Scotland and America in 1868.
And all without our knowledge or permission.”
NOTE- EVERY city and state in our country is incorporated – a corporation – this enables it to function as a business, pave/repair streets, pick up garbage, own buildings and property, put in traffic lights, hire, pay law enforcement, pass laws with authority to be enforced, manage funds, payrolls, etc.

A) They wash up nicely.
B) They are large enough to cover the fattest mattress.
C) Great cotton feel. Soft but not synthetic.
D) They are substantial but not heavy. Light but warm.
My daughter (I gave her a set) absolutely loves them, too.
Upshot: I am going to buy more. They are that good.
Mike has lots of deals going on. Half off, etc. You can use just about any promo code out there.
And always remember:

Cool! 👍
Does it mention the thread count on them?
The website doesn’t say.
They are 400 thread count.
Ah…Thanks, that’s pretty good.
I have never bought any sateen sheets – always percale because that is what I grew up with long ago.
Also because the sateen are heavier, thicker and might take a longer time to dry. I was afraid they would ‘pill’
If they are all cotton, they wouldn’t pill.
It’s the ones with polyester content that pill.
I tried a poly/cotton blend once. Worst sheets ever. I pitched them almost immediately.
Yep, me too.
Instead of getting softer with age, the poly/cotton sheets get stiff and scratchy…with pilling, too.
Sounds like my joints 😀
Happens to the best of us, even with “pilling” 🙂
LOL!!!
These are wonderful. I tend to like percale, also. However, these sheets are really extremely comfortable. And I think he has a guarantee on them.
How deep does the fitted fit…after washing?
Today, I should be receiving two classic MyPillows and three Myrollngo travel pillows. Looking forward to a great pillow and a better nights rest.
Going to place order this month. Curious about the travel pillows, wondering if they’d be good for lumbar support. If you wouldn’t mind test driving and reporting back, I’d really appreciate it K-Bo.
Thoughts on Myrollngo pillows, after a couple hours use.
Have tried many a pillow for lumbar support. Generally not pleased enough to keep using any pillow thus far. Only place I have ever really, really needed lumbar support is on ~thirteen hour non-stop flights Frisco to Manila.
That said, Myrollngo pillow may be just the right size for lumbar support. NOT too big or too small. Yet, provide the right level of support.
These pillows absolutely worth the price and wait.
IF my outlook on Myrollngo pillows changes, I’ll post again.
I’ve had a tempur pedic type travel pillow for a long time. I use it every night, first to prop behind my neck for reading and then for a topper on my other pillow to support neck, or whatever. I find it is also nice to have in the summer when it’s hot because I can flip it over to get a cool pillow again.
Thanks K-Bo. Been studying and I really think it’s gonna work for lumbar.
Another trick I learned – where you put the pillow. In some chairs you need to ‘sit’ on the pillow in order to gain height, to utilize the chair’s built in lumbar. I do this in my vehicle also at my dentist. Pillow goes under my butt, then they recline me. PURRFECT Fit.
TYSM for the recon! 🤗🤗🥰
I like mine also. I got them last summer. Haven’t even opened the other set. But I can’t say I like them more than my Boll & Branch. I sort of like them the same even tho they are different. Both have nice deep pockets. I also have the pillows and am thinking of getting the bed topper and dog beds.
Oh and Joe and Hoe didn’t win.
Today’s Bible Verse:
MATTHEW 5:17-19
There were 3 kinds of Laws that the chosen people of Israel were commanded to observe.
Civil Law – set the hierarchy of authorities
Ceremonial Law – governed sacrifices and religious observances
Moral Law – Ten Commandments and the Great Commandment
The Moral Law was a continuation of the Seven Laws of Noah. https://www.simpletoremember.com/articles/a/seven-laws-of-noah/
Jesus added, “Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself” to the moral law.
The ceremonial and civil laws ended when Israel was taken captive and when Christ died as the last sacrifice.
But the Moral Law – the Ten Commandments, the Laws of Noah and the Two Great Commandments will never end – it is eternal – and can only be obeyed in the power and grace of GOD….by continual repentance and replenishment of the Holy Spirit.

Chinese plan to boost ‘masculinity’ with PE classes sparks debate
BEIJING (Reuters) – A plan in China to get boys to do more sports as a way of making them more manly has reopened a debate between those who urge more diversity and those backing a more masculine society.
The education ministry has said it aims to increase the number of physical education teachers and revamp gym classes to boost the “masculinity” of students.
“It’s hard to imagine such effeminate boys can defend their country when an outside invasion looms,” said one Weibo user.
Some affluent parents, worried that their sons are too fragile, are sending them to private boot camps that promise to turn them into “real” men through army-style drills.
“The proposal has represented some stereotypes in China on male masculinity, which is against gender equality and diversity, as it sees being effeminate as negative and dangerous while masculinity is useful to the Chinese nation,” Li told Reuters.
== wonder if the PRC has maternity flight suits for their women?
China is pretending to the Western masses that they are suffering the same gender craziness that we are, as a way of hiding the fact that they are INFLICTING this shit on us.
China is pretending to the Western elite that they are “having to react” to neoliberal policies leaking from the West into China – again, to hide the fact that they are INFLICTING the neoliberal thinking on the West via corruption of Western globalist leadership, which is an unknowing puppet of China – via ideologues on the left, and corruptos on the right..
CCP is always a minimum of two steps of deception ahead of the sheep, and one step ahead of the West.
China uses feminizing cover and masculine direction and leadership underneath it all, without shame.

‘Anti-racism’ advocates come for the books
The University of Pennsylvania’s law school hosted an event called “Decolonizing the Stacks.”
The panelists detailed their projects to eliminate discrimination and racism from its library systems.
Benjamin Zeisloft | Pennsylvania Senior Campus Correspondent
Tuesday, March 9, 2021 9:44 AM
https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=16913
The University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School hosted a panel event called “Decolonizing the Stacks,” which provided examples of eliminating bias and discrimination from its library systems.
The event was part of Penn Carey Law’s thirteenth annual public interest week, dubbed “Reforming the Nation: Working Towards Racial Justice.”
Amanda Runyon — moderator of the panel and Associate Dean and Director of Biddle Law Library — opened the discussion by defining “decolonizing libraries” as “the process of de-centering whiteness and being more inclusive to voices of color and voices representing diverse perspectives.” She encouraged fellow librarians to consider the impact of their “centering of White, Western norms.”
She stated that librarians can work to change the way that they represent information, as current indexing systems “are inherently biased and centered on the perspectives of white people, Christians, heterosexuals, and males.” Therefore, she says that the language used by these systems “obscures and silences” marginalized people.
Runyon paraphrased an article arguing that the formation of the Library of Congress’s indexing system inherently privileges the thought processes of people who think according to its categories.
“We cannot remain neutral about these systems, as neutrality is an implicit endorsement of the system,” she said.

Are Evangelicals the Root Cause of Conspiratorial Thinking?
Clark Coleman
36 minutes ago
7 min read
https://www.gatekeepersonline.com/post/are-evangelicals-the-root-cause-of-conspiratorial-thinking
A recent New Yorker article by editor Michael Luo, “The Wasting of the Evangelical Mind,” examines the problem of many evangelical Christians believing in political conspiracy theories. The article touches on the January 6 Capitol invasion, QAnon conspiracy theories, election fraud claims, and Covid-19 vaccine skepticism. Luo argues that this “unusual gullibility” among evangelicals is traced to the emotional, anti-intellectual roots of evangelicalism in the era of religious revivals known as the First and Second Great Awakenings, citing the works of Richard Hofstadter and evangelical historian Mark Noll. While correct in some parts of his analysis, Luo is wrong in others, particularly regarding conspiracy theories.
I agree with the points Noll made in The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind about anti-intellectualism and emotionalism among evangelicals—and the situation has not improved since its publication in 1994—but Luo’s thesis is flawed in its unexamined assumption that evangelicalism is unusually prone to acceptance of conspiracy theories. Starting with that assumption, all that is needed is an explanation of how this state of affairs came to be. But a careful observer of the modern world notices that many groups are willing to believe that they are threatened by conspiracies. We need to explain this widespread phenomenon before examining any special place occupied by evangelicals.

The Death Penalty is Pro-Life

Recently I was asked to speak at an Iowa Senate sub-committee and I gave my support for capital punishment specifically concerning a criminal who would kidnap, rape, and then murder minors. That was the specific scope of the bill, to my surprise I was the only one who spoke in favor of the bill and twenty or so spoke against it mostly citing unjust courts, inhumane treatment of the criminal, and a society that has progressed further than the death penalty. When I spoke I not only supported the bill but I encouraged the Iowa Senators to take it a step further and fully reinstitute the death penalty for all capital crimes. As you can imagine this drew the ire of many, including the Black Lives Matter representative who spoke immediately after me and called me a racist for my position. This was not totally unexpected nor was the Iowa mainstream media’s coverage that was framed negatively towards my position.
One thing you should know about me is that I am very much unapologetically pro-life. In fact, I am so pro-life I actually would not describe myself as pro-life, but an abolitionist. I don’t want to merely see abortion limited or regulated, I want to see it abolished and completely outlawed! Holding to this position, and speaking of it often in public, has allowed me to connect and network with several pro-lifers and abolitionists on social media. When I posted my position on social media I was surprised at the messages I got asking me how I could hold to a pro-life stance and a pro-capital punishment stance at the same time? Before we examine capital punishment let me say this, opposing abortion and being in favor of life does not in any way contradict a pro-capital punishment stance.
. . . MORE . . .
Another point would be that the criminal to be executed is guilty. The pure and innocent baby, born or unborn, is guilty of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
(It just crossed my mind that “DNC” is a homonym of sorts to D and C, aka Dilation and curettage, one of the primary means of aborting these innocent babies…)… Basically the DNC’s prime reason for existence – aborting our entire society, our values, our history, our present, and our future…
Everything they do is a mockery and abomination of GOD’s Laws, GOD’s Love, GOD’s Justice, GOD’s Creation, and GOD Himself…
It’s amazing how they can make any excuse not to execute a criminal (which is a pretty high threshold) and any excuse in favor of abortion.
What do you make of the “seamless garment” and “consistently pro-life” position that the religious left like to trot out whenever it is politically expedient for them to do so? They try to tie the “pro-life” position to rejecting the death penalty to be “consistent” – and then use that wedge to argue welfare for families, and it just goes downhill from there.
I’m always amazed (but not surprised) that all this ridiculous banter NEVER considered bioethics issues as pro-life issues. IVF, snowflake babies, international adoption, surrogacy, and so forth are NEVER EVER talked about as a “seamless garment” of a pro-life position. Seems to me their garment is full of holes.
House Republicans Jordan, Gaetz join #FreeBritney, in fight against conservatorships
“Britney was the most powerful popular pop-star in the world … and if it can happen to Britney Spears, it can happen to anyone,” Gaetz said.
By Nicholas Sherman
Updated: March 10, 2021 – 10:31am
https://justthenews.com/government/congress/house-republicans-jordan-gaetz-join-freebritney-fight-against-conservatorships
House GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan want the chamber’s Judiciary Committee to call a hearing on conservatorship, citing the recent high profile pop-star Britney Spears battle over her one imposed upon her.
Jordan, of Ohio, and Gaetz, of Florida, who each have law degrees, sent a letter Tuesday to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler asking the New York Democrat to hold a hearing on conservatorships, arguing they strip Americans of their “personal freedoms.”
A conservatorship is a legal process whereby a judge appoints a “responsible” person or people to act as a “conservator” for another adult to handle their finances.
“Britney was the most powerful popular pop-star in the world, and this conservatorship process abused her, has it where she can’t vote, can’t get married, can’t work fairly, and if it can happen to Britney Spears, it can happen to anyone,” Gaetz said to TMZ. “Her circumstance is all too common for people around the country who do not get their due process when they’re in these conservatorships.”
Jordan and Gaetz said in the letter to Nadler: “Given the constitutional freedoms at stake and the opaqueness of these agreements, it is incumbent upon our committee to convene a hearing to examine whether Americans are trapped unjustly in conservatorships,” according to Politico.
Gaetz said that he was inspired after watching the recent documentary about Spears, highlighting the pop-stars trouble with her father, who acts as her conservator. He hopes that Spears’ fame can bring awareness to the situation, which he arguers affects many Americans.
Gaetz said that people who want to “free Britney,” need to contact Nadler.
On Wednesday, an attorney for Jamie Spears, the singer’s father, issue a statement saying, “Britney’s Conservatorship of the Estate was co-managed by a private professional fiduciary and her father until early 2019. At that time, Britney requested in court papers that her father be the sole conservator of her estate. Her Conservatorship of the Person is not managed by her father but by a private professional fiduciary,” according to Fox News.

Tim Keller Blames Persecution on Christians Because We Hurt Homosexuals’ Feelings
By REFORMATION CHARLOTTE – MARCH 10, 2021
https://reformationcharlotte.org/2021/03/10/tim-keller-blames-persecution-on-christians-because-we-hurt-homosexuals-feelings/
Tim Keller has become completely useless to the Church and does not represent the Scriptures or minister the gospel in any meaningful way. Keller–who is completely given over to the social justice gospel and makes the absurd claim that if you have white skin, “you’re involved in injustice”–now blames persecution on Christians saying that they brought this on themselves by saying mean things about gays.
Of course, everything those “Christian Nationalists” said for the last twenty years is actually coming true. Homosexuals and Democrats are after our children and the Democrats are pushing a bill that will completely strip a Christian’s right to worship and practice his faith freely and openly.
Oh gosh. He’s blind and lacks spiritual discernment.
One of the best pastoral ministry techniques was by a preacher whose church welcomed a young homosexual into their church with these words: “We do not see this lifestyle as your (legitimate) God-given identity, but see you as just another human being who is coming to Christ – as we all must – in repentance, laying aside and learning to do all that GOD requires. The church then proceeded to love the young man away from the harmful, God-forbidden life into freedom in Christ.
Very good insights!
Unfortunately Tim Keller bread is buttered by being a blind guide of others.
It is truly scary how many pastors and Christian leaders follow him.
Oddly appropriate that Keller means cellar, in German. I would question that he ever had an untarnished interpretation of the Gospel…

The ‘White Supremacist Armed Insurrection’ Lives On
JARED TAYLOR • MARCH 9, 2021
https://www.unz.com/article/the-white-supremacist-armed-insurrection-lives-on/
If enough people say something often enough, it becomes “true.” Big media and people at the highest levels of government now accept that the Capitol takeover of January 6 was an “armed insurrection” by “white supremacists.” A few eccentrics wonder how you can have an “insurrection” with no plan and no weapons, but virtually everyone has swallowed the story about “white supremacists.”
As for “insurrection,” even the Republican lawyer Michael van der Veen, who defended Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial, said something MSNBC called “obvious”: “The question before us is not whether there was a violent insurrection of the Capitol. On that point, everyone agrees.” Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin is one of a very small number of politicians who doesn’t. He pointed out that the mob wasn’t armed, and that a three-hour occupation is not an “insurrection.” Media ridiculed him, with an MSNBC contributor writing, “Let’s take a minute to unpack this, because while I tend not to expect much from Ron Johnson, this is extraordinary, even for him.”
An indignant CNN articled listed the “arms” the “insurrectionists” used: “a baseball bat, a fire extinguisher, a wooden club, a spear, crutches, a flagpole, bear spray, mace, chemical irritants, stolen police shields, a wooden beam, a hockey stick, a stun gun, and knives.” Not even comic-opera coup-plotters in Upper Volta or Rio Muni would try to overthrow a government with bear spray and pocket knives.
One of the few journalists who scoffs at the “armed insurrection” tale is Glenn Greenwald. He writes: We know that “no Trump supporter fired any weapon inside the Capitol and that the FBI seized a grand total of zero firearms from those it arrested that day . . . .” He adds that there were “no known cases of the rioters deliberately killing anyone,” and “no evidence anyone intended to assassinate Mike Pence, Mitt Romney or anyone else.”

Don’t Close Rikers—Fix It
New York City’s plan to replace the correctional complex with neighborhood jails is impractical and politically untenable.
Nicole Gelinas
Winter 2021
https://www.city-journal.org/closing-rikers-neighborhood-jails
More than a year ago, New York City embarked on one of its most ambitious infrastructure projects in memory: spending $8.7 billion to build four high-rise jails across four boroughs, so that it could close its eight-decade-old jail complex on Rikers Island—a “penal colony,” in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s phrase—by 2026. Much has changed since this heady 2019 announcement. Covid-19 has decimated the city’s budget. One of three community lawsuits against the four jails has met with initial success. A rise in crime is a reminder that it will be difficult to keep inmate numbers below the four neighborhood jails’ far lower capacity. Even before the city breaks ground, the jails projects are already two years late, with the completion date pushed to 2028, well into the next mayor’s potential second term.
Even under the best circumstances, closing Rikers would be an immensely complex undertaking, designed to improve conditions for New York’s thousands of inmates. The project, though, is neither necessary nor sufficient to accomplish that aim. Just as important, four new jails will have a big adverse impact on the areas affected—Kew Gardens in Queens, Mott Haven in the Bronx, lower Manhattan’s Chinatown, and central Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue—at a time when the city cannot risk any more neighborhood destabilization. All four communities, despite vastly different demographics, voted against the new jails, but city leaders ignored them. Now, neighborhood activists are trying to show that disregarding the people’s wishes will have real consequences.

Nine Reasons Why I Will Not Be Getting The COVID Vaccine
Parker Beauregard
March 10, 2021
https://thebluestateconservative.com/2021/03/10/nine-reasons-why-i-will-not-be-getting-the-covid-vaccine/
There is a religious-like fanaticism with the Covid vaccines. If we want to be precise, it isn’t even a vaccine. Vaccines confer immunity; this injection lessens symptoms and isn’t even known to prevent spread yet, let alone prevent infection in the host. It’s like a DayQuil for Covid. Whatever the nomenclature, though, there is a dangerous doctrinal approach to mindlessly injecting oneself with a foreign substance.
Some people have good reasons for getting poked. We know with near-absolute certainty that Covid targets those of advanced age and existing comorbidities, especially obesity. One of the most comprehensive studies was recently published on the relationship between obesity and Covid mortality. This study found that the estimated 2.5 million worldwide Covid deaths, 2.2 occurred in countries where the adult obesity rate exceeds 50%. That is a remarkable correlation. And amazingly, this figure controlled for population density and income levels. Didn’t we all expect Covid to sweep through poor shantytowns, barrios, favelas, and Indian slums, but that never occurred? Despite the lack of medical infrastructure, sanitation, and other factors that normally resign these nations to epidemics of other kinds, Covid stayed away. Why? In univariable terms, those countries all tally low obesity rates. The same goes for many Asian nations that have high median ages (remember, age is a huge factor) but low obesity rates.
Now, because everyone’s data is slightly different, I took the time to explore this relationship. The results are a cheap buildout in Excel to show the twenty-five most populous countries and comparing their deaths per million rate with their adult obesity rate. The correlation amounts to .724, which supports the idea that obesity and obesity-related factors play a significant role in the pandemic’s lethalness. I have cited where each of these statistics came from for your own verification.
. . . MORE . . .
The “perfectionist” attack on the COVID vaccines, to assert they are not vaccines, is discrediting more people on our side than many more sophisticated attacks.
A marginally effective vaccine – even a vaccine which is USELESS or even COUNTER-EFFECTIVE in some subpopulations – is still a vaccine.
I am not taking the vaccine, period. I feel absolutely NO compulsion to explain to anyone WHY I am not going to take it.
Whether I believe it is really a vaccine, when it doesn’t work like any vaccine ever tried, is an opinion. And I am allowed whatever opinion I choose.
So far, I still live in America.
One of the best reasons not to take these vaccines needs no proof whatsoever.
I don’t TRUST the people pushing them. They have lied repeatedly.
Amen.
I would prefer “cult-like” as opposed to “religious-like”…

Robin DiAngelo Balked at $10k Fee From Public University, Insisted on $13k for Prerecorded Speech
Author upset Free Beacon ‘not interested in racial justice,’ emails show
Brent Scher – MARCH 10, 2021 5:00 AM
https://freebeacon.com/culture/robin-diangelo-balked-at-10k-speaking-fee-from-public-university/
Robin DiAngelo, the white author of a bestselling “antiracism” book, balked at a request to accept a reduced speaking fee from a public university amid the coronavirus pandemic, insisting that her $12,750 rate was already a bargain.
DiAngelo agreed in early 2020 to be the keynote speaker at the University of Wisconsin’s annual Diversity Forum, which takes place in October. When the university alerted her in July that the event was transitioning to a virtual format due to the coronavirus pandemic and asked whether she would accept $10,000 for the gig, DiAngelo declined.
. . . DiAngelo’s website now has an extensive section dedicated to “the ethics of a white person being paid to do antiracist work,” in which she says critiques of her work “have been inflamed” by Free Beacon reports on her finances.
DiAngelo’s emails with the University of Wisconsin reveal further that the author was “quite distressed” to learn that Charles Lehman, a former Free Beacon staff writer, had contacted her and the school with questions about her fee for the diversity event. She praised the school’s communications director for giving brief answers and asked the university not to cooperate further.
“I was quite distressed to see this journalist’s email in my inbox again this morning,” DiAngelo wrote, adding that “the less we can engage the better and the less he has to twist our words.”
DiAngelo told the university that Lehman was “definitely not interested in racial justice.”
~~~
They aren’t interested in “conversations” and “dialogue” – but demands for monologue.
She knows that anyone who challenges her – “the emporer is naked!” – will cause her gig to be up. She wants to ride her gravy train as long as possible.
Trudeau Vows “Feminist” Recovery to Tackle “She-Cession”

UK: Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Calls for Boycott of Royal Family, Claiming They Don’t Value Black Lives
Black Lives Matter co-founder Opal Tometi is calling for a boycott of the Royal Family, alleging that they don’t value black lives.
The boycott comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey that somebody in the Royal Family had “concerns and conversations” about how dark her child’s skin color might be after she was first pregnant with her son Archie
— is it time for meagan to by pass kate?
I really think Meghan is lying about that conversation. She was more likely the one to bring up the topic – like “I bet you all are worried about what color Archie’s skin will be.” She’s got a BIG BLACK CHIP on her shoulder.
Meghan does no tlook very black to me. She could be Mexican or Indian . Why is this woman so obsessed with color? Maybe her mother should have choosen a black men to be father of Meghan then she could gripe how black she is.
Really it is character not skin color Meghan and you are lacking.
Maybe she’s getting paid by the Race Grievance Industry – aka BHØ
Is possible
Seems to me that has been her mission. singlehandedly sledge hammer cracks into the (white) institution, anything traditional. Marry the wooden headed Harry and the games began. Not surprising..the connections to the Epstein/Clinton/Ozero/Oprah etc.
I personally don’t think she specifically tapped for this job (but maybe)..her own pathological ambition and narcissism was all that was needed. Throw in the coveted praise from the elites and she instinctively knows what to do..to get more of that woke praise. Fame is her drug of choice.
Coincidence that almost every single area of American tradition and values are being mangled and trampled ? Nope! Coordinated and timed just like the plandemic.
AMEN. The full court press of communism against freedom is ON NOW.
It is obvious that Meghan is not a Christian and neither is her wimpy husband . Christians believe in forgiveness and if as Christians we want to be forgiven we better forgive others. So if someone said something that was out of place her wimpy husband should have cleared it up. If they turn their back on the Crown they deserve nothing from the Crown.
I think Meghan is manipulating Harry and is using his mother Diana.
Diana had problems coping in the Castle- Meghan had coping in the Castle.
We saw pictures of Meghan dressing like Diana.
The Royal family is racist does not like me.
Depression
Meghan is a full grown woman and she did not know how to behave? Funny Kate knew how to behave.
There are people all around them she could have ask.
Meghan is a devious woman and playing Harry like a fiddle. Just my opinion.
Does an amazing job of capturing the popular liberal finger-wagging . . .
This is exactly the kind of postured moral lecturing pushed by the leftist influencer classes.
No-No-No! Your Rights Come From Government, Not God

No Safety Data? No Problem!
US, UK, Canada, Australia, Switzerland and Singapore Will Let New-Variant Vaccines Onto the Market Without Safety or Efficacy Testing
Rosemary Frei, via her website
https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/10/no-safety-data-no-problem/
On March 4 and 5, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland and Singapore released identical guidelines for fast-tracking release onto the market of vaccines for the new variants.
The countries issued the recommendations under the banner of the ‘ACCESS Consortium.’ ACCESS is an acronym based on the first letters of the five countries’ names.
A few days earlier, on February 22, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a similar set of recommendations. They allow Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for “investigational” vaccines for new variants, letting them be used on the general public without first showing evidence of safety or effectiveness.
The recommendations all state that companies don’t need to conduct new clinical trials before putting the new-variant vaccines onto the market and potentially into millions of people’s arms. Requiring new trials, the ACCESS document asserts, would cause “considerable delay” and “bears the risk that the virus is evolving even further, potentially making a new vaccine version outdated at the time of approval again.”
Instead, the safety record of the currently used Covid vaccines can be used to judge the safety of the new ones, the countries’ regulatory agencies declare.

T3 – aka GudThots posted this illustrated video last night:
https://rumble.com/vdf4uv-hopamine-diaries-what-really-happened-on-jan-20th.html
It’s a run-down on some of the theories and issues surrounding the Inauguration.
Two things puzzle me:
-The marines did not salute Biden when he walked into the Capitol after he was inaugurated. Is that normal?
-What is the proof that Biden was in the motorcade when the soldiers guarding DC turned their back on the car and didn’t salute?
-Could it have been Trump’s motorcade leaving early that morning and a sign of disrespect by leftist platoon leaders?
-Is there proof Biden’s planes have not been designated AF1?
All good questions.
As you recall from the video, his take on the military not saluting is simply that they are following their non-political protocol. You only salute when higher rank.
NG with back to Biden motorcade, or facing by not saluting could be fake news, but he goes over why he doesn’t feel the need to address that possibility. Not that you have to accept that, or stop looking for evidence that it was indeed fake.
The AF1 question is something the plane watching folks have been trying to figure out.
Of all three of these, its the military not saluting that is the most telling to me. Also the lack of a 21 gun salute is quite curious.
The whole thing is bizarre – a mid-stage dementia candidate with an unpopular running mate. A brazen election steal. Jackboot censorship of any mention of election fraud. Censoring a PRESIDENT and a former President.
The courts and congress ignoring the proven fraud.

The Strange Gospel of Masking and Public Policy

https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2021/03/strange-gospel-masking-public-policy-david-deavel.html
Sanity is finally prevailing, at least in a number of red states. A goodly number of states, including Texas, are removing all of the COVID restrictions that have been destroying businesses, education, and mental health for so many people, young and old, while doing nothing to stop the spread of COVID-19. This includes the very unscientific mask mandates.
Yes, you read that right. If you’re on Facebook, this article might not appear, but there is really no evidence that, like lockdowns in general, any of the mask mandates have done anything to stop the spread of COVID. And this is because there was never really any serious evidence that cloth face masks did anything. Andrew Bostom, an associate professor of family medicine at Brown University, recently linked on Twitter to a study of COVID in Catalonia that showed “no association of risk of transmission with reported mask usage by contacts.” In a follow-up tweet he observed that “these data are in turn consistent with~2 decades of RCT [Randomized Controlled Trials] data showing masking does not prevent flu… or C19,” linking to a meta-analysis of flu and also the Danish study of masking and COVID-19 that came out this past fall.[1] Anybody who followed the questions of masking early last year found out that this was the case.

Masks Are Just Part of the Socialists’ Uniform

The Centers for Disease Control released another study showing no statistically significant decrease in “daily case” or “death growth” rates from COVID-19 in areas with mask mandates. This comes after a similar CDC study in October indicated that mask mandates do not appear to have slowed or stopped the spread of the coronavirus at all. Still, the CDC continues to recommend that all Americans wear masks, except in certain private settings when individuals are fully vaccinated, unless the goalpost-shifting Dr. Fauci gets his way.
This whole “masks don’t seem to be having much effect, but wear them anyway” bureaucratic calculus may seem like a frivolous controversy to Americans preoccupied with the pandemic, but for Americans who are equally worried about the State’s steady encroachment into the lives of families, mask mandates are the worst kind of noxious administrative abuse — another iteration of government coercion that constricts a person’s freedom while accomplishing next to nothing. It’s government rule-making for the sake of rule-making whose chief purpose is to demonstrate that it is the government’s job to command and each citizen’s duty to readily obey.
Mask mandates are the perfect metaphor for a government that demands obedience:
Mask mandates are reminiscent of Barack Obama’s belief that wealthy Americans should be taxed at higher rates, even if the imposition of those new taxes produces no net benefit for the federal treasury. By his own admission, Obama’s insistence on increasing taxes for wealthy Americans was not about generating government revenue or reducing government debt, but rather about punishing individual Americans for having acquired too much personal wealth. It was a way for Obama to prove that he takes income inequality seriously while doing nothing about it.

Michaelh, I never heard of Ingersoll Lockwood Inc., going to have to look that up. Must say the last Juan o Savin I heard had a lot of the f word, and not just as a descripter, and his excuses were very lame, and beyond lame, unbiblical Yes, these are just people. Ga/fl, regarding the so-called seven Noahide laws, they are not in the Bible, only in extra-biblical sources. I suggest people listen to Steven Ben Nun, a Jewish Christian, who has a site called Israeli News Live. In Genesis Noah was told the three following (putting in my own words) be fruitful and Multiply, do not eat live animals, and do not murder human beings. The noahides are talmudic, which Christians are not. They would see belief in the Trinity as idolatry, and the penalty for idolatry is death by the testimony of one witness. Also, look it up at Got Questions. Not meaning to attack anyone. Everyone entitled to his or her beliefs, I’m just concerned.
True the laws of Noah are tradition, not Scripture, but they do pre-date the Mosaic law and give better definition and understanding to the term ‘adultery’ – which encompasses all sexual acts outside of male/female in marriage.
Of course, the canonical book of Leviticus illustrates all that in detail as well.
I don’t think I have seen all the things you’re referring to here, but your post reminded me of this:
If we don’t know what we stand for, we will fall for anything. If Christians don’t know and understand the tenets of their faith, they are liable to fall for theories that are not part of the faith, some of which are expressly forbidden by the faith.

Dr. Fauci Can’t Explain the “Science” For Denying Vaccinated Americans a Return to Travel
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/dr-fauci-cant-explain-science-denying-vaccinated-americans-return-travel-video/
Well, fine. I’ve made my own judgment calls.
So let me get this straight: For the vaccines that they are pushing people to take, there is no scientific data that states they provide immunity? Because if the vaccines provided immunity, then people should be able to safely travel. So why get a vaccine?
I’m waiting for someone to come up with percentages, as in, “The vaccine will give you an 80% chance of not getting the virus. That’s why we suggest getting the vaccine and continuing to social distance and wear masks.” But of course there is no supporting data for such claims.

American Patriots Dump Harry And Meghan Into Boston Harbor
March 10th, 2021
https://babylonbee.com/news/american-patriots-dump-harry-and-meghan-into-boston-harbor/
BOSTON, MA—A group of rebellious American patriots did their duty for God and country today by dumping Meghan Markle and Prince Harry into Boston Harbor. The protest, dubbed “Boston Tea Party Part 2: Rebel Even Harder,” saw American protesters seize the royal couple and dump them right into the sea.
“The British are coming? Not on our watch!” they cried as they hauled the couple to the harbor and threw them in. “Royalty overboard!”
“From time to time, the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the cries of British royalty as we dunk them in the harbor!” said a spokesperson for the protesters. “It was far past time for us to throw more dumb, uppity British people into the water. America!”
“Help! I’m a brave woman of color and I’m being oppreeeeeeessed!” Markle cried as she was thrown into the harbor. The rowdy colonists cheered as the couple went under, proud of themselves for once again demonstrating that America is the best goshdarn country on earth.
Prince Harry was asked for comment but said he had to check with Markle first before he’s allowed to respond.
Looks like a missed opportunity for keelhauling.

“Murphy gets biblical, says Jesus commands you to get vaccinated!”

In related news, if Murphy actually said any such thing, then Murphy is a bald-faced liar.
Jesus never told anyone to get vaccinated.
All of His words are recorded in a book.
The book is generally referred to as the New Testament or The Bible.
There are many online versions, where you can do a simple word search for ‘vaccine’, ‘vaccinated’, etc. You can even search for “Murphy”.
You will discover that neither Murphy nor ‘vaccinated’ (or any derivative thereof) can be found anywhere in the Scriptures.
That is all.
From the Gospel According to St. John, Chapter 21:
[24] This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. [25] But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.
Psst: all of His words were not recorded.

Did they ever properly isolate any of these strains to confirm they know what the pathogen is? The whole idea of asymptomatic carriers seems to violate Koch’s postulates indicating they do not really know what the pathogen is.
Wolf Moon
1 second ago
TL;DR – Yes, IMO.
In my opinion (retired scientist, experienced in reading pharma literature) they did identify it properly, including isolation and sequencing, based on early studies which I read on PubMed (and I’m a bit skeptical, to be sure, about all things corona/COVID). I was convinced that they found the right cause. Much more of a clear-cut case than HIV, IMO. As for asymptomatic carriers, the media and pols are really conflating “asymptomatic cases” (standard or shorter duration of infection) with true long-term carrier infections like HIV. C19 seems to be a fairly low-symptom disease, typical of lighter colds and flu, except for striking random excursions into real damage – hence the fear factor.
Your point about Koch’s postulates is excellent, because C19 seems to “deceptively violate” all 4, and thus it’s a grand disinformation weapon.
“The microorganism must be found in abundance in all organisms suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy organisms.” – C19 cheats this both ways – you don’t see it early when it’s there, but you see it after it’s gone. Viruses make this difficult to start with, and often “pass the buck” at a symptom level to subsequent opportunistic infections (e.g., HIV). C19 is no exception – hence the effectiveness of Zelenko’s protocol which ASSUMES opportunistic infection will happen very quickly as the virus recedes. But the point is, C19 strikes and recedes fairly quickly. And this is key – the combination of some “virally inactive” genetic incorporation of C19 by reverse transcription (article is good work – Harvard scientists – being held up in preprint status because it’s explosive, IMO – https(colon)//www.biorxiv(dot)org/content/10.1101/2020.12.12.422516v1.full) as well as viral fragment latency due to other reasons means that patients shed sequences for a long time, and crappy PCR testing with too many cycles has resulted in RECOVERED CASES being labeled as infected. Remember very early on, the recovered Koreans shedding virus and looking reinfected, until they were judged by very close study (literal infection of cells, not PCR, as the test) to be NOT infected? That is what the Harvard work helps to explain. C19 puts viral junk in our DNA, which junk expresses, which “creates cases”. What I’m wondering is when people who “wanted cases” actually knew that.
“The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture.” – This is the proof I needed and found on PubMed for C19, but note that viruses need a cellular growth medium, and these are always contaminated with both viruses and viral junk sequences in the cellular genome – which reflects the problems with PCR testing. The papers I read were more thorough – they looked for and found intracellular coronavirus (and ONLY CV) which was abundant and classic by electron microscope. This is part of my confidence that C19 has been tagged correctly as the perp. But note that not everybody did this later, and hence the myths that the virus was never isolated or conclusively identified have abounded.
“The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism.” – Again, this is why C19 is the perfect “sociobiological weapon”. C19 has broad ranges of outcome ranging from symptomless to fatal. It does not ALWAYS cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism – even ones with no prior infection or “obvious” immunity. No better violation of this postulate by an agent of ACTION is possible (null disease meaning null action).
“The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.” – Again, this happens with C19, but even in the early paper cited above, the degree of viral mutation (which is not as great as influenza) was substantial, because this is what viruses do – change while infecting – so “identical” is violated from the beginning.
IMO we are being deluged with discrediting disinformation so we can’t see the cheating that really happened with this virus. We are parroting stuff like “it’s not really a virus” and “they’re not really vaccines” so that we don’t concentrate on scientifically important ideas, like this video – “is a vaccination program which whips a mutating virus forward into further mutation actually appropriate as a countering strategy?” IMO no, but the industry wants to push genetic therapies forward, and vaccines were a great place to start.
The people have to understand and gain control of science again, or we will be victimized by those who do understand it and don’t have our interests at heart.

They need a rapid clean up force in Seattle and Portland…and a few other Democrat hell-holes.
This article has a picture of a facility with 100 MW of battery storage. Love to see the procedure for a fighting a fire in one of these.
https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/latest-news-headlines/aes-energizes-100-mw-battery-peaker-in-california-considers-expansion-62305222
You can’t store megawatts. That’s a unit of power, not energy. Thus 100MW isn’t the capacity of the batteries (but it is a measure of how fast the batteries can deliver energy).
On looking into the article, it says 400MWh, which is to say, 400 MW for one hour, or 200 MW for two hours, etc. (Energy = power x time.) That IS the capacity of the unit. (A “watt hour” is one watt, for one hour. There is a formal unit of energy in metric, the Joule, which is one watt, for one second. A watt-hour is 3600 joules.)
Apparently the unit is capable of delivering 100 MW at any given time (or less), when it has done that for 4 hours, it’s drained. If less power is drawn. it will last longer.
If this is confusing to anyone reading this, think of this: energy is to distance as power is to speed. (energy/time is power, distance/time is speed.) If a car will do 120 MPH (power) flat-out, that doesn’t tell me how far it will go (energy) on a tank of gas.
I inspect power plants. These batteries are a joke. The only positive they provide is stable power frequency and filtering of power spikes.
And — just like that — your travel schedule suddenly makes sense!
I went to Maine last year. Looked at a hydroelectric plant that was built in 1907. Going back to Wisconsin, they have one from 1915 with a lot of original equipment still running. Pretty amazing.
Lotta great craftsmanship in that old stuff — with proper maintenance, it can run a long time.
Like old cars. New stuff is more efficient, lighter materials but does not last as long.

People are now experiencing the establishment economy. Before Trump it was difficult to see the difference, and now people can see the difference. Fuel prices are skyrocketing, inflation is starting to pick up, the [CB] is now in focus. The stimulus bill passed and the people will now see the corrupt politicians pay off their establishment friends. The [DS]/MSM are doing exactly what the patriots want. The people must see it all and the optics of Trump not being involved is very important. The military will be used in the end but not the way people think or believe. The military will keep the US operational while the civilian government is incapacitated. The NG and the Marines will work together. Trump planned this from the beginning. DS sends more messages, the panic button is pushed and we its time to go back to the beginning and move forward again.

I hope everyone remembers when they’re getting the COVID-19 (often referred to as the China Virus) Vaccine, that if I wasn’t President, you wouldn’t be getting that beautiful “shot” for 5 years, at best, and probably wouldn’t be getting it at all. I hope everyone remembers!
So here he expects us to have positive feelings towards the vaccine and credit him with it.
I get the ego thing but I think it’s a bad move considering all the deaths from bad reactions.
The bad effects of the vaccine are not being reported to the masses so most do not know anything bad is happening.
Exactly. THIS is where the problem is, IMO.
Yes. And the number of MSNBC echo chamber groupies I know not hearing of the side effects and deaths…I’m VERY afraid of what the summer is going to look like for these people.

Please do not see this as critique I am only warning.
There are forces on the Internet not on this forum who are used, not willingly, to splinter the MAGA people

As immigrant I am grateful to Trump. He has paid hell even when he mentioned HCQ he is not a doctor. The people who failed were GOP Turtle, Pence, Fauci and the whole US health team and media .
The only way is to beat what is happening turning the country into communism is Trump and us to stand together. There are many voices I personally question who play on emotions and exploit the deplorable.
Recognize we are vonurable. There are forces who will devour us if we give in to emotional impulses.
I am standing with Trump because he was is the best man for our movement. He fought evil swamp for 4 years. The virus is not his it is China’s and Fauci‘s

According to the account, it is not actually President Trump’s account at this time. It simply reflects President Trump’s statements as chosen by the account owner.
Or has that changed?
Were these posts direct quotes of President Trump or posted by him? Or are they posts by the account owner?
You got it. Gab is posting all official Trump statements on his account now. They are NOT tweets, and they are not posted *on Gab* by Trump’s office or by Trump. They’re just echoing his public statements now, as if Twitter were still there.
==Of those who are getting the vaccine and are glad for it, let them remember that is was the Trump admin.
==without the vaccine the deep state would have held the US hostage much longer.
We don’t vaccines with a 10 ft pole and yet are very greatful that the vaccine was to market so quickly so as to force the deep state’s hand on removing restrictions and talking points
YUP.
Important to see these vaccines for what they are – bad vaccines for a new carve-out in colds and flu, introduced by Chinese communist lies, trickery, and murderous desire for world supremacy.
New flu vaccines for a novel weak corona passed off as the plague itself. And they should be every bit as optional. This “vaccine passport” stuff is CRAP.
Where are the GOP opposing these Hitlerian “do you have your papers” ideas?
Not seeing them step up.
Saying the same thing I think., as with Masks so with the Vaccine, Trumps ideas have always been voluntary for us to soothe the woefully ignorant while keeping the country viable and giving us a choice. It’s the left that takes these things to the extreme, manipulates the ignorant and makes them mandatory.
Do we really know that POTUS posted that? They had an account set up for him where they reposted his tweets. But as far as I know, he has never used it.
Afraid he did
It’s not his account. It’s a fan account.

But it is his statement… see Wolf’s explainer.

You are correct that after Twitter suspended Trump, Gab no longer echoes his tweets. However, they DO repeat all of Trump’s official statements, AS IF he had tweeted them.
Here is what they say on the account on Gab:
This account is an uncensored Twitter archive and shares email statements sent by The Office of Donald J. Trump.
So if Trump’s office sends out anything official, Gab will try to post it somehow.
Linda…he does not “use it”.
wolf said it best upthread: gab posts POTUS’ messages as if his Twitter was still up.
This is just an account that posts his announcements. Although I did write a reply to this post.
I can’t get past blaming him for the HCQ train wreck. He knew enough about it to put it out there. To claim to have taken it. To have this big round-table photo op with survivors who had taken it. (remember the Dem. state rep. who took HCQ and recovered immediately and was praising him because of it? I do.) He does all that – and then drops the ball.
Immediately after the Ferguson model was walked back after he admitted it was totally flawed, Judas’s task force should have been completely shaken up. Other docs and researchers with real hands-on experience and stats could have been brought in as a Fauci buffer. I can’t believe Trump let this continue. He was still touting ventilators when the docs on the front lines already knew that was a death sentence. It was cringe-worthy. Thousands of people died because they were denied access to HCQ, and later Ivermectin.
This particular failing is the reason I tend to believe Patrick Byrne.
I am with you on that one. This is an Achilles heel right here.
Okay, I’m curious. What did Patrick Byrne say about this?
Patrick Byrne’s underlying thesis is that VSGPOTUSDJT was surrounded by traitors, knew it, and had no way out or past them.
He didn’t say anything about it. It just a screw-up of dire proportions where it feels like Trump didn’t go with his gut.
Thanks!
Not only that, but remember when the gov’t bought 28 million doses of HCQ for their stockpile? Whatever became of that? Have the elites been taking it all along? Wonder how much is left?
Of course they’re taking it.

Truth, Myth, and The Missing Years of The First Followers of The Way…
“49The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, 53And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Now when the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Jesus, saw the earthquake and those things that were done, they feared greatly saying, “Truly this was the Son of God.“
Matthew 27: 49-54 (KJV)

‘I will sue you’: Texas AG warns Austin to lift local mask requirement
By Tamar LapinMarch 10, 2021 | 5:58pm
https://nypost.com/2021/03/10/texas-ag-warns-austin-to-lift-local-mask-requirement/
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Wednesday threatened to sue the city of Austin for choosing to keep its COVID-19 mask mandate for businesses in place.
The AG accused Austin of not complying with Gov. Greg Abbott’s recent executive order, which ended his statewide mask mandate and banned coronavirus restrictions on businesses.
The governor’s order “has the force and effect of state law and supersedes local rules and regulations,” Paxton said in a letter to Austin Mayor Steve Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown.
“You and local health authorities have until 6:00pm today to rescind any mask mandates or business-operating restrictions and come into full compliance with GA-34,” Paxton wrote on Twitter. “Otherwise, on behalf of the State of Texas, I will sue you.”
He followed the threat with a taunt, writing, “City/county leaders must not be thinking clearly. Maybe it’s oxygen deprivation from quintuple-masking.”
The letter came after Adler and Brown on Tuesday said that masks would still be required inside Austin businesses, with violators subject to a fine of up to $2,000, under local rules set in July and expiring next month, the Austin-American Statesman reported.
“There’s two state laws in the health and safety code of the state, that specifically gives cities the ability to enforce laws reasonably necessary to protect the public health,” Adler told local outlet KXAN Tuesday.
Paxton argued that the governor’s order specifically states that no jurisdiction “may impose a penalty of any kind for failure to wear a face covering or failure to mandate that customers or employees wear face coverings.”
This is a good fight. DRAG THOSE BRANCH COVIDIAN HIPSTERS INTO COURT.

All other items listed are in the millions. Grrr.
Wolf, the formatting by the comment plugin is doing something screwy with quotes. It’s adding what looks like 3+ extra lines in between every paragraph.
I haven’t seen it, but that may be due to my setup vs. yours.
Here is a test post with a multi line quote…
OK, let’s give this a try from my end.
Man, that is weird as hell.
I put a quote on;
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
Testing a defined line:
line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4
Testing a manual quote:
blockquote|line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4|/blockquote
i.e.,
<blockquote>line 1
line 2
line 3
line 4</blockquote>
Whoops! Need to try that in the source code tool:
Let’s try that again:
*snicker*
We’re both laughing at wp.
They are assuming all Quotes are single paragraphs or something like that.
Yup. This looks like a bug, but it does NOT appear to have crept in at any kind of update to the plugin. There was a minor WordPress update recently, and IMO it likely broke the plugin.
Just out of curiosity, did the hosting guys initiate it, or did you initiate it yourself?
No comment! Hosting is a mystery! 😉
No problemo…..BTW, you scored higher on keys and security than ri.gov. They got an A while you got an A+. The Epik guys are doing well for you.
The differences between an A and an A+ are very subtle and a bit out of our control (and obviously I don’t want to explain our specific case for Team CCP-DOJ’s benefit). Don’t be surprised if you see some wobble there in the future. If we stay in A, I’ll be happy. A- is where I might get more concerned.
Despite our recent A+, WordPress.com came back (via a JetPack nag) and negged on our set-up, claiming things which I knew were true were not true. I played along and they said “all fixed”.
Ginning up JetPack pay subscriptions, IMO.
WordFence plugin does that too. Tells you scary diagnostics story to upsell you to their paid plan. I never really trusted their reporting on intrusion attempts. In fact, I wondered if having WordFence didn’t send out a beacon to intruders of some kind.
Having a small amateur background in publishing from my younger days, I tend to notice stuff like this.
Some time between last time I was on and now this site logged me out. Was still in wordpress login, but lost site login. All it took was clicking on the “Log In” link in the sidebar to get back in though.
Hey Scott,

#Censoring Has Evolved to Yard Signs
It seems today a friend of a friend in Illinois was served a “Notice of Code Violation” of “Obscenity” for having #Trump signs in their yard. Btw: I blacked out the address.
Most Patriots including myself still have our signs up. He said he was going to put them in the window.

yes because all those Mexicans that have White Spanish blood are so indigenous…..
I knew the ethnic stuff was bad before. They already removed really blatant anti Jew materials.
This is equally as bad.

Well. This could go TWO WAYS, and my prediction is that it will go BOTH.
This is not on Ron’s Gab timeline?
https://gab.com/codemonkey
Looks like he forgot about Gab when he moved his primary presence to Telegram.
https://t.me/s/codemonkeyz
Or he’s using Gab as plan B instead of what he originally proposed.
Yup. The back-up became the main, as he moved on. “Plans change.” I think his “faves” in the election stuff went to Telegram, so it makes sense.
First I have heard of wuflu causing hormone issues, much less cists.
Anyone else hearing of this?
“I’ve had COVID twice and ever since the second time that I had it, I started having all of these female issues and it caused a lot of internal bleeding,” the Bringing Up Bates star, 29, said on Thursday, February 26. “So with the first surgery, they just removed all of the blood. The second surgery, they ended up taking out one of my ovaries. And then the last surgery, they removed most of my second ovary. So right now, we’re just dealing with trying to balance hormones with hormone therapy and stuff like that.”
https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/erin-bates-having-another-baby-would-be-miracle-after-surgeries/
(yes, this reveals one of my few pop culture hobbies – I like keeping up with the Duggars and the Bates are sometimes mentioned which lead me to this story)
This is scientifically interesting. Did she really have it twice, as in “infected by the virus”? Hard to say. Damage from one attack becomes a factor in ANY subsequent disease. I see this with respiratory viruses, which aggravate my COVID lung damage during whatever time they produce symptoms, and it then goes away. Fortunately, nothing has worsened my lung damage yet.
The question in my mind now is whether COVID-19 has a general pattern of fertility reduction due to this kind of damage, or if what she observed is merely coincidental.
I have seen those have had wuflu and who now have seasonal spring allergies have MUCH worse allergies this year. Not all but some and have wondered about the connection
Yeah, IMO the spike protein just does permanent damage like a hemotoxic snake venom (they’re proteins, too) – somewhat variably, depending on the individual.
One can “vaccinate” against snake venoms, and it actually works – obviously – that’s how they do it in horses, etc., to make antivenins – see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_antivenom – a guy named Bill Haast who ran the Miami Serpentarium used to inject himself with venom and that is how he survived some really nasty bites by huge cobras and mambas.
Anyway, what we are seeing with guys like Ben Stein and Moderna is classic “same symptoms as the disease” immunization against a protein WITH the protein, IMO.
Do we all need to immunize against it? Is it even possible, if the disease is able to “escape immunity”? Are we just trading one killer for a less effective killer?
Questions.
A local doctor told me it’s the damage to the gut lining creating Mast Cell Activation (or something like that). His solution is supplements that work for endothelial repair. Another possibility would be using NAC because that has shown effectiveness beyond just helping the liver process the toxins.
Guess what is getting a washdown here!!!

You all know the behind-the-scenes Democratic Party power brokers are ganging up on Cuomo right now to force him from office BEFORE the COVID-in-the-nursing-homes scandal blows up and SPREADS from NY to NJ and engulfs Wolf…then runs like a wildfire to MI and sets Whitmer in fire…and then continues on to engulf Newsome in CA, right? It’s about CONTAINING the blowback only to Cuomo and shielding these other Democrat Governors who did the exact same things he did with COVID and elder care facilities.

What fresh hell is this, Texas?
https://news.gab.com/2021/03/10/addressing-texas-gov-greg-abbotts-statement-about-gab/
Obviously misinformed.
Who put him up to it, I wonder? That guy on his right looks like the Cheshire Cat…
OBVIOUSLY.
He’s trying to win points on fighting anti-semitism – recovering his CPAC disaster.
BUT HE DIDN’T DO HIS HOMEWORK!
I’m chalking this up to total ignorance, though there could be a lot more at play here.
This guy is being “Dewined” by RINO advisors.
Here is my pro travel trip from my 6:00 am flight this morning to Salt Lake. Forgot to mention my ear buds were in with music on to drown out the constant flight attendant announcements.
So, another day, another wrinkle in Rhode Island.
Got a voicemail from guy at Finance Crimes at the RISP (State Police). He was whinging that I’d merely faxed him the form and that I wouldn’t use his handy-dandy online reporting system because their system was perfectly safe. Threatened that this might make “trouble” for me and have tax consequences if I didn’t use his stupid form.
I responded with a two-page fax that included links to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript#Security and https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ and noted that I had a fax confirmation attached to my previous message and my civic duty was more than fulfilled — and that I could reasonable respond to an IRS inquiry with “this is how I reported this fraud to the RISP, but they failed to do their job.” It was two pages because I made the last part substantially more gentle, but this is a quick summary.
I also noted, “If, by chance, I were to run scripts from https://risp.ri.gov one-by-one, your website immediately asks me to also run scripts from facebook.net, google.com, googletagmanager.com, and twitter.com – none of whom I would trust with a burnt match [remember, they’re my neighbors]. And, BTW, none of them are under the control of ri.gov’s IT Department.”
I went on to suggest that he sidle on down to pal around with his IT folks and see what additional info they may have also captured during the online application process for these unemployment benefits.
I also noted that RI’s flood of UI fraud was systemically generated and would never be fixed by individually solved cases…..and that I’d normally tell them that in a four-hour seminar and collect a multiple-000’s fee for doing so.
Honestly, this guy trying to bluster me and bullshit me that his website is safe, just to swindle me into doing his data input for him — and calling a West Coast phone number at 6 am…. Is it something in the water?
That’s just ridiculous. Fax has been recognized as legal documentation for decades. Web forms frankly are sketchy.
Maybe we need to remind ourselves how far we’ve come.
IBM System/360 Model 65. In the photo you can see from left to right: card reader/compiler, tape drive, Winchester disk packs, CPU, and the teletype/main console, 1965.
LOL I ran VSAM backups using a 3270 terminal emulator on an XT of the library system at the university when I was in college. Fortunately that doesn’t date me as much as it dates the equipment they were using. But I did keep the front control panel of the “5B1” tape drive when they finally decom’d it. Glad I had the experience . . . I learned that the magic command from TCP3270 to access the student record system when it wasn’t loading properly was (wait for it) “cicsp” 😉 Boy did that make me popular with the advising staff.
Picture came from a photographer’s group on Gab. Here’s the post author with another photo.

Photography for Photographers
I thought this was a cool 1964 IBM marketing photo for the System/360. The idea is that the overall system, seen with its various peripherals, makes up a “360 degree” comprehensive set for all customer needs.
I still like Cray’s with the bench.
Cray 2s did not have the bench, but did have the waterfall, and I did work on them once.
*sigh* I never got to see one.
I like it better this way!
Caption: “They’re closing in….”
Qopium!
You don’t have to go back that far.
Try eyeballing the specs of a 1991 DEC VAX 9000 with vector processor ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX_9000 ) ($997,000), against an 8G 2021 Pi 4 ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/ ) ($75).
Just as a weird thought…..looking at this picture, you have a t-bar suspended ceiling with fluorescent lights, like we’ve all seen a zillion times….and “old-style” modular flooring with the cooled air below. The card reader that looks like a dishwasher is probably sitting on an open floor panel and getting a continuous flow of cold air through its guts.
Spent far too many hours of my life in rooms like this.
Or emails! Yeah, I have segregated email accounts and try to make sure they don’t arrive with the same headers….and I need to waste time generating a new path for YOUR STATE’s f-up…..
Just ran across this… maybe not helpful for your case, but interesting.
https://10minutemail.com/
I like the concept. I’m curious about the execution.
I used it to register for a site recently and I needed more than 10 minutes. Turns out when the countdown timer expires it stay active and you can add more minutes. As far as I could see the inbox remained functional until I closed the browser window. I needed to get multiple emails to complete what I wanted to do ad that all seemed workable.
Bookmarked and will probably play with later. I’m curious what I’d get mailing to myself and parsing the headers.

Garland Confirmed as Attorney General 70-30, Now Watch the Next MoveMarch 10, 2021
SD: “Merrick Garland has been confirmed by a UniParty Senate 70-30 (link).
“Now we watch the next move(s); as with everything in Obama’s third-term, if you watch the ‘other hand’ you will find the play… and bookmark this. With Garland confirmed there will be multiple people and groups who supported President Trump targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The extremist Lawfare group is openly advocating for more political targeting; to wit Garland has stated his intent to continue weaponizing the DOJ where former AG Eric Holder left-off.”

This is what con-servatives always do, even DJT.
We (the People) had a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity to use the power of government, of the Executive Branch, to either FIX the mess, or BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROUND.
CLEAN HOUSE.
Instead, we did nothing. The corruption just festered and grew more virulent, with the FibDoj OPENLY engaged in a FOUR-YEAR COUP ATTEMPT, with NO RESPONSE from the military OR the Trump administration.
No rule of law, no equal justice under law, nothing.
The only thing that happened is they were exposed, for anyone who cared to look (which was only Trump supporters).
Which only made the corruption a hundred times more dangerous, because now they know more than half the country realizes they’re corrupt traitors.
We had ONE CHANCE that lasted FOUR YEARS.
Like having the opportunity to go on a date with the most amazing woman on earth, for 1,460 days in a row.
And what did we do?
Stayed home and played video games in the basement.
For FOUR freakin’ YEARS.
That’s how pathetic the last four years was.
We did our job.
We voted to save our country.
And we deserved better.
Oh, you’re totally, completely wrong about this.
With the leap day, it was 1,461 days.
And I’m supposed to take this seriously with a gross blunder like that?
😀
We rallied and we gave lots of money – especially in 2020 when people really didn’t have to to give.
https://jonathanturley.org/2021/03/08/is-eric-swalwell-the-answer-to-trumps-prayers/
Finally, Swalwell’s complaint accuses Trump of reckless rhetoric — but Swalwell could find himself on the witness stand having to answer for his own rhetoric. Those comments include his mocking of threats against Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). Swalwell, who now claims severe emotional trauma from the Capitol riot, dismissively tweeted “Boo hoo hoo” when angry protesters surrounded Collins’s home in 2018.
Swalwell’s complaint is timed beautifully to collapse on appeal just before the 2024 election, giving Trump and Republicans the ultimate repudiation of prior Democratic claims. Voltaire also famously said that “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.” Luckily for Trump, Swalwell not only already exists, but he may be the very answer to Trump’s political prayers.
— yea, I suppose that’s all true in happy villa la la land? ‘But this is america and the courts and judges are all corrupt.
NanXi made sure of that.

The worst thing about her confirmation is that Fudge, a radical, race-baiting conspiracist, was confirmed 66-34.
Do the math: Sixteen Republicans voted for this wacko.
Toomey also called out her pattern of “attacking and disparaging the motives of Republicans with whom she has policy disagreements.”
If someone like Fudge can be confirmed 66-34, then what kind of radical will Republicans put up a fight over? The same woman who pleaded for leniency for a domestic abuser said Republicans “disgrace to the nation.”

Last night Gavin Newsom took over Dodger Stadium to give an ostensible State of the State speech. Make no mistake, after watching Governor Hairgel telling Californians about how wonderful California is because of him and the stagecraft that went into this production, be prepared. Newsom is making his bid for President.

Part of orthodox Marxist
derptheory is the “immiseration thesis” according to whichIn “tribute”, I now offer the “emmerdization thesis”. Emmerder quelqu’un, in French, literally means “pushing somebody into the sh*t” [merde]; idiomatically it’s the equivalent of “to p*ss somebody off”. This is the process going on in modern wokeocracy, as the Anointed Brahmandarins, as full of themselves as they are full of “merde”, push the Benighted rest of us ever deeper into the “merde” — and eventually will succeed in “emmerder” the Benighted to such a degree that an explosion of the whole cesspool becomes inevitable.
