Welcome back to Wolf’s Pub. It’s La Fée Verte Friday (aka Green Fairy Friday) here and we shall get to our magical drink soon. First, let us reiterate that Joe Biden did not win the 2020 presidential election. He’s an utter fraud, as are the monsters who installed him in the White House. May the Green Witch overtake them and put them where the sun doesn’t shine.
Wednesday was Earth Day. Duly noted. Eye roll to the max. Let’s put it this way: there is green, and then there is Green. Let us discern.
While world ‘leaders’ attempt to keep the dying Covid-19 scam (aka the Wuhan Virus) going, they are linking it with Climate Change and the Green New Deal. The Great Reset continues apace, although the sparkplugs aren’t firing as cleanly as the globalists and their communist lackeys would wish.
That Greenie False Prophet at the Vatican is sponsoring a New Age globalist health conference in early May. Here’s his super short speech at Joe Biden’s “Leaders Summit on Climate” yesterday, and the image below is for next month’s “Global Health Care Initiative.”
If you have any doubts about this religio-communist pretender, they should be dispelled here, where we see that God Himself is portrayed as wearing a glove, supposedly to prevent either infecting or being infected by Adam, and vice versa. What a disgusting, blasphemous act.
Archbishop Vigano speaks out. Here’s more about “Exploring the Mind, Body & Soul. How Innovation and Novel Delivery Systems Improve Human Health” conference on May 6-8th. A few of the speakers:
- Anthony Fauci
- Chelsea Clinton
- Deepak Chopra
- CEOs of Moderna and Pfizer
- Kerry Kennedy
- Cindy Crawford
- John Sculley
- Brandon Marshall
- Joe Perry of Aerosmith
- Robin Smith, president of the Cura Foundation and author of “Cells are the New Cure.”
A thought to ponder:
Obedience to Disobedience is not Obedience.
A counter conference to the Mind, Body, Soul fiasco is the Truth Over Fear online summit: Covid 19 and the Great Reset. Part of the intro:
“Truth Over Fear summit is a three-day online gathering of 40+ frontline doctors, scientists, attorneys, researchers, and journalists, who will share invaluable and eye-opening insights into the truth behind the headlines, Covid-19, the rushed vaccine, and the Great Reset.
Big Tech does not want you to hear this information and is working hard to censor us. Most of our presenters have been silenced. In fact, the same day we published this summit, YouTube terminated our account and we are now shadow banned everywhere.”
You can sign up for free at the link. Limited time to do so. The speakers are stellar. Here’s a few:
- Dr. Judy Mikovits, PhD
- Arch. Carlo Maria Viganò
- Robert F. Kennedy, Jr
- Dr. Lee Merritt
- Dr. Reiner Fuellmich
- Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg
- Alex Newman
- Vladimir Zev Zelenko, M.D
- Vera Sharav
- Peter A. McCullough, MD
- Senator Scott Jensen, M.D
- Dr. Pierre Kory
Little Greta-the-greenhearted Thunberg (thanks Cuppa Covfefe!!) was spouting some nonsense the other day about animal diseases being linked with climate change and so on, completely ignoring that real scientists are experimenting with viruses in labs for gain-of-function use against humans, but whatever.
She’s got a new special on PBS. The propaganda is so easy to spot now and so very tiresome:
Fake Science, Fake Medicine.
A great interview here: The Illusion of Evidence-Based Medicine: Exposing the crisis of credibility in clinical research, with video below.
Today’s Special is Green as Heck
Well, let’s get to our drink special today. ABSINTHE. Oh, the humanity! This “beautiful madness” (from a poem by Peggy Amond) was known as the Green Fairy by many artists and writers of the Belle Époque.
According to Maison Absinthe:
“Absinthe began in France in 1789, initially as a healing potion. It was used to purify water and as an antiseptic. Absinthe gained in popularity during the Franco-Algerian war where many French soldiers had developed a taste for the high alcoholic “medicine.” and it became more and more popular. Because of its greenish tint, it became known as La Fée Verte (The Green Fairy). This is why French Absinthe is among the most popular.
As a result, by the end of the 19th century, absinthe was the favored cocktail of Paris and famous people were drawn to absinthe, like Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Edgar Allan Poe, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Lord Byron, to name a few.
The popularity of absinthe wasn’t limited to Europe, as it soon found its way to the United States and in particular New Orleans, because of its large French population. Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde all enjoyed drinking absinthe at The Old Absinthe House on Bourbon Street. The Old Absinthe House is still there, by the way.”
Want to buy one of these? A traditional Absinthe fountain!
Here’s an article: The Five Biggest Absinthe Myths that gives a little info on its supposed hallucinogenic properties and the infamous way of serving it with a flaming sugar cube.
Be well warned that drinking Absinthe straight is a recipe for epic drunkenness. I had a bottle disappear from the house one night when my kids were at “that age.” Finally connected with my daughter the next morning after she and a friend had awoken from an Absinthe stupor.
I think she was sick for two whole days afterward. Has never had it since. I can laugh now. NOW.
Outlawing Absinthe: Gov’t thought it subversive
Watch the fun vid below about Absinthe. Around the two-minute mark your host tells how TPTB were not happy that the working man would gather around drinking Absinthe and talk politics. That and the winemakers in France were unhappy that Absinthe was cutting into their profits:
For a lovely and magical explanation of Absinthe’s attraction, watch this Swiss video that shows a second-generation distiller of Absinthe:
And here’s a last one. Basically a six-minute ad for a particular distillery, it is beautiful and dramatic:
Here’s a How-to on making Absinthe at home.
Health and nutrition info about Absinthe here and here and here.
And here’s the low down on that fascinating plant, Wormwood that just may be the magic ingredient to creating La Fée Verte:
The bartenders are offering a special Absinthe cocktail tonight: The Wolf Bite. It won’t be a full moon until the 27th but let us howl anyway!
We can’t leave the subject of Absinthe without noting that its most notorious ingredient Wormwood is mentioned in Holy Scripture.
The Apocalypse (Rev. 8:11) is its most famous mention:
“And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”
And here from the Prophet Amos (Chapter 5:6-8):
“Seek ye the Lord, and live: lest the house of Joseph be burnt with fire, and it shall devour, and there shall be none to quench Bethel.
You that turn judgment into wormwood, and forsake justice in the land,
Seek him that maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and that turneth darkness into morning, and that changeth day into night: that calleth the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.”
So much to ponder there…
There was a 2017 docudrama from Netflix (yuck) that is named Wormwood, and tells the story of Frank Olsen, who may have been an MK-ultra victim.
The Russian word ‘Chernobyl’ means Wormwood, btw.
House Rules
Keep it civil. Absinthe is purportedly an aphrodisiac and gets your inner muse going, so I don’t think we’ll have a problem with incivility. However, go here for Wolf’s rules before you hoist a Wolf Shot, and we’ll all do fine.
If you need to make a date with the Green Witch, head over to the Utree. Or, if we get separated from here, head over there to meet up. And lookee here, we’ve got a forum just about up and running.
The Green New Deal is the color of money
Well, now that we have our green drinks in hand, let’s get back to Climate Change, aka as the continuing saga of sick globalists and their communist henchmen as they try to take over the world and turn it into some type of dystopian nightmare.
We must have the obligatory mention of Arch Villain Bill Gates, who is buying up farmland like there’s a fire sale somewhere.
He attended the climate summit this week with lots of other globalists and assorted elites. Go here for a fun rant against the elites from Steve Bannon. He skewers them but good. And Gates is investing millions in fake food, too. Bill Gates and his fake solutions to climate change:
“The report highlights one of these so-called technical ‘solutions’ through the example of synthetic food, which aims to replace animal products with highly processed ingredients, usually through synthetic biology. Billionaires are heavily investing in this growing market: Gates alone has spent $50 million in leading company Impossible Foods and actively finances several others.
Fake food is advertised as a solution to climate change and environmental degradation, but in reality, fake food has a carbon footprint seven times larger than less-processed plant proteins. Cell-based meat also emits more GHG than some animal products and recent research even suggests that over the long-term, its environmental impact could be higher than that of livestock. Far from ending climate change or world hunger, fake food still relies on an industrial agricultural model, based on monocultures, toxic pesticides and GMOs, that is destroying our ecosystems and threatening our health.
The report also shows how the patenting of these artificial food growing techniques has become an instrument for corporate and billionaire profit-making, shifting power away from farmers and toward biotech companies, while completely ignoring the solutions offered by the regenerative agriculture movement.”
The Grand Solar Minimum is Herle
So we’ve heard that Bill Gates wants to shoot some stuff into the atmosphere to COOL IT DOWN. Playing God again, Bill? The Lord has preceded you:
Modern Grand Solar Minimum will lead to terrestrial cooling
And:
The Coming Modern Grand Solar Minimum at American Thinker.
Fta:
“We’re about 16 months into this GSM, with 32 more years to go. Already 2019 and 2020 saw record low numbers of sunspots. We’ve had lower than expected crop harvests due to unseasonable rains both years. The April 2021 USDA World Agricultural Product report has articles detailing Taiwan’s expected 20% decrease in rice production this year over last, Cuba’s rice production 15% below its five-year average, Argentina’s corn, Australia’s cotton, Malaysia’s palm oil — all down, all due primarily to the weather. There are some expected bumper crops, all based on expanded acreage.”
The Greening of Communism
The White House Resident of the United States has jumped in with both feet to destroying the economy and jobs of our nation with a plan:
“The U.S. emissions cuts are expected to come from power plants, automobiles, and other sectors across the economy. Sector-specific goals will be laid out later this year.
The new U.S. target nearly doubles former President Barack Obama’s pledge of an emissions cut of 26%-28% below 2005 levels by 2025,” according to a Reuters article.
AOC and Sen. Markey have introduced some type of bait-and-switch bill to take our money and pretend to provide good jobs. There’s some social justice stuff wrapped up in it, so we all know it is another shot at taking from the barely-haves and giving to the have-nots. The rich elites will laugh all the way to the bank. It’s the Civilian Climate Corps, doncha know. Channeling FDR…
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has challenged AOC to a debate about the Green New Deal. According to Sara Carter it’s on, although there’s been no formal agreement to go forward yet.
Let’s Get Down and Dirty in the Garden
It’s one small step for us. Start small and step out boldly. Small farms, and even small gardens are going to save the world from starvation. Big government in cahoots with Big Ag has given us Fake Food System Models to scare and threaten us, take our money and steal our health.
But Small Farms can Feed the World.
Just like the fake numbers we get from just about every institution today, do read the above article to see how hoodwinked we’ve been. It’s just sickening.
In World War II there were Victory Gardens everywhere. People grew their own vegetables and fruits so that farm production could feed the troops. We can do this. Garden science has come a long way. Urban farming is a large and growing movement.
Gardeners in suburbia have turned their grass into raised beds. You would be amazed at how much food you can grow over a year in a small plot. Container gardening has blossomed, too. Even in apartments, you can grow all kinds of crops on a balcony. Gardening year-round in cold climates has also come a long way.
Here’s a great video about a family in California who grow annually 6,000 pounds of food on 1/20th of an acre. They even have chickens and little goats.
Here’s their website. They are teaching others the way to food freedom.
More resources:
Polyface Farms with Joel Salatin (lots of Youtubes)
Four Season Farm with Eliot Coleman (great for year-round gardening in cold climates)
Charles Dowding and No Dig Gardening (great Youtube Channel)
The Plummery in Australia (a lot of good advice for new gardeners):
Here is a balcony garden in Germany. Lovely:
There is a giant mountain of books, videos, blogs, podcasts and even local gardening clubs that can help us toward food freedom. Hmmm…Food Freedom. Sounds like a great forum topic.
At any rate, the way to beat the Giants is to be small. Lots and lots and lots of small gardens producing big. Seek out and support local food producers, many of whom live hand-to-mouth raising produce, meat, eggs and other products in a Good Steward way.
Barter. Exchange goods for services. Think local. Stay local. Survive. Thrive.
The more we can grow, make and produce, the less we have to rely on the Giants. We can defeat the globalists and their communist henchmen one garden plot at a time.
Never give in! Never give up! They can’t beat us!
I just saw the above-the-fold leadin and started freaking out….had our beloved DP fallen off her meds or something?!?!?!?
Then I saw the byline and only after realized it’s Friday. Hi, G’ma!!!
Haha! Hey! 😁
“Deplorable Absinthe Patriot”
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder 😀
Hazardous Materials!!!
Yeah…no thanks. Irish or bust.
No meds here, but need to cut back when not authoring.
I gain respect for Arch. Carlo Maria Viganò like climbing a staircase — knowing it must be done. Fortunately, I have no such issues with losing respect for Pope Frankie Goes To Hollywood — I never had any to begin with.
Coothie, it’s bad right now. Yesterday, Michael Voris at Church Militant announced a forum of sorts for good priests afraid to speak out for fear that their bishops will shelve them.
https://www.churchmilitant.com/video/episode/vortex-the-new-catacombs
The priests won’t even know who the others are in the group, that’s how bad it is.
Taking a page from the Kew playbook (forum for anons).
Because it IS so bad right now, I’m glad that MV at CM opted for anonymity.
No kidding.
At this point, I’m listening more to the priests who have videos out on the internet than the pastors in the parishes where I cantor. I’m working on learning the standard prayers in Latin, the ones I don’t already know after 35 years in classical vocal music. Apparently, the demons can’t stand Latin.
Heh. I was baptized in Latin, and my younger cousin was baptized in English. He had a bit of a wilder time than I did while growing up, and it was muttered, “it only works in Latin.”
Do connect with FSSP and SSPX if you can.
We don’t have FSSP here, and the SSPX is still schismatic, IMO. We do have a number of Latin Mass parishes, though, and have had TLM since 1984.
Good. Latin Mass is powerful.
Rambling…
So now, it appears folks fear reprisals (censoring) within their church, over Free Speech, Freedom of thought.
Add that to the list. Government, social media, fake news…
Unchecked violence in big cities.
Divisive politicians, fake news, hollywierd…
Masks, lock downs, loss of jobs, businesses closing…
America will implode IF this is NOT reversed.

Odd truths.

Right in China’s backyard unfortunately. Wife and I have discussed it, but even if we get a place over there, we will not relocate there at this time.
Nor will I relocate. We do have a couple very modest homes that we’ve built. 1,400 sqft and 900 sqft. Latter 100 yards from bay/ocean. Only sand between smaller home and water.
Once Covid crap clears, we do plan to vacation there twice a year, couple months each time. Besides very relaxing, working to break their cycle of poverty.
Hong Kong thought it was safe too. China CCP thinks this generation of Americans will not rescue other nations.
Yup. In my mnd, it has always been a matter of time until Chyna squished Hong Kong’s limited autonomy.
US, nor any other country will rescue Hong Kong. Nor Taiwan for that matter.
The longer the world waits, the harder the job will become.
It makes me think of what it must be like to go to confession though I am not a Catholic and don’t know much about it. Is it correct that the priest cannot see the person who is confessing?
Not always. It is the penitent’s choice. It can be done face to face, but most of us choose to be behind the screen, and, thus, anonymous. Going to Confession is really rather relieving, to be honest.
Being a priest in fear of crossing his bishop, OTOH, is not at all.
It depends. When I came into the Church our first confession was face to face in the parish I attended. The last New Order parish I attended also had face to face confession every time.
If you attend a traditional parish that would be anonymous. I much prefer that.
I should note that the picture in the post is a four-outlet absinthe fountain, while you link to a two-outlet absinthe fountain for sale.
Was it a 50% off sale?
🙂
Nobody gets drunk tonight, y’hear? Designated drivers rule!
Er, isn’t the point of designated drivers that everyone gets drunk EXCEPT the DD?
Logic??? You want to use logic in 2021???
Sheeesh.
When it’s a bachelor party, we not only have a designated driver, we have a designated drinker.
Is that usually the spouse-to-be?
Yep.
Good to see you — how is Darwin doing?
He’s in the “hide and don’t eat” part of his 5-6 day cycle, apparently normal for him. Waiting to see if it changes this summer.

grandma, just a fantastic Opener today!!!
SO much great information, such good videos and links.
I forwarded it to many folks who I know will enjoy it enormously.
Thanks for your work…
God bless you.
Thank you! ☺
Really a great thread, Gmtx…lots of good info and videos.
😀 👏 👍
Nice work!
Thanks!
Thanks, Wheatie!
When I was a kid at a certain age, I lived in Davis — and we used to attend the State Fair in Sacramento. They used to have demonstrations of how much food you could generate in XXX square feet.
I can understand this being a problem in Alaska, but it is an underutilized resource in most of the nation.
Hi from a fellow ex-Davisite! Used to show sheep at the State Fair.
1974-ish? Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior High?
Emerson Junior High. Senior High class of ’76.
That had me going a bit….Davis has both a Holmes and an Emerson, and I was thinking I might be misremembering….so I go online and look at where the school was (around 5th and B) — and there’s no school there!
And it’s not like I could be too far off, ’cause I remember going to the University and going around the arboretum for PE class….
I’m now pretty sure that I went to school between B and C streets, and between 5th and 6th streets. I remember crossing the street to use the school pool, that is still there — but our old athletic fields are now called “Civic Center Park”. Everyone would do their lunch arrangements and go have lunch at Central Park, across the street.
That would have been Emerson, then. With the pool across the street. I remember that, too. But I guess I would have been in high school when you were there. It seems it has since been moved out to Westwood, though, across the highway.
Heh. Very near miss. We probably had some of the same teachers. I remember the science classes as being particularly worthwhile, with exploding things. And one of the teachers was the head of the Sierra Club [back when they weren’t full of $^$%] or something. I was in band, and ranked 47th clarinet — I played out in the parking lot. That was also one of the three places I took Intro to German.
Did you have Frau Vogt for German? I remember her. Took more German in high school. We even had a German Club there. I remember baking about 100 soft pretzels for the high school Oktoberfest one year.
And yes, I loved science at Emerson…..dissecting frogs, grasshoppers, etc.. I guess that interested me more than exploding things.
Frau Vogt seems plausible. I had actually taken introductory German in elementary school in Long Beach, then here, then a huge gap until taking college German as a High School senior. My sister went to a Lutheran church when we were there, then later went to Cal Lu for her degree in Thousand Oaks.
I remember the year and a half I spent in Davis as a golden time, compared to time spent in Newhall. I had a similar bump into Lakewood for High School.
I lived on Linden Lane, just south of what is now the Cesar Chavez Elementary school. I commuted to school down 8th on my little orange Schwinn.
It was one of the more normal periods in my life.
Across the street from our house was the Parker family, which had six girls. The youngest was closest to my age, but far, far, far out of my league. They were great neighbors and very encouraging toward young lads. They had cats where I was the only non-family they’d tolerate.
It was only some years later that I’d come to feel for Pappy Parker because he could never leave the seat up.
IIRC a good friend during elementary school lived on that street. Was one of the Parker girls named Judy?
Very likely.
Wow! I used to walk down Linden Lane on the way to that elementary school, which WAS NOT called Cesar Chavez back then. We lived on Stanford Drive at that time, until my first year in high school, I think. Then we moved out a bit west of town.
Do you remember the big concrete egg on the hill?
Yes, I do, although for some reason I remembered it as a pumpkin. But you are right, it was an egg. The pumpkin was at some other park.
Oops, my reply somehow posted farther down instead of here.
Yep. I, too, spent alot of time peddling down 8th street to school. The most memorable trip was in a long skirt in the rain, carrying my violin case on the way to a school concert.
Ahhhh, the arboretum! One of my favorite places in Davis.
Set on the fair banks of Putah Creek, before we knew what it meant.
You do know what the extra “h” is trying to hide, yes?
I had actually never considered the meaning before.
I graduated HS in 1979 — but in SoCal. We moved halfway through my 8th grade year. I remember getting a summer pass at the Community Pool, then trawling along the edge of the dive area with mask and fins, diving on the “good side” of the line, darting in between divers to retrieve change off the bottom and circling back to surface on the “good side” of the line.
Funny. I always wondered if I might have crossed paths with any of the Californians on here. Guess we almost did, anyway.
An excellent guide to getting maximum production per square foot.
Just ordered a copy from the library–thanks for the tip!
YW! Hope it inspires you.
Yes, starting that small might me it actually gets started at all! 🙂
Starting small is key. Expect plenty of failures. Even highly experienced gardeners have them on a regular basis.
One vital key is good soil. If you can find a good source for compost you will be ahead of the game.
Here is an excellent video on making a raised bed. Note how he really fills the new bed and tamps it down. He doesn’t use a weed suppressent like cardboard because his nice grass isn’t a problem once the soil is in. I have wire grass and have to use cardboard before filling a new bed.
Thanks G-Ma for the lovely & interesting post & for these inspiriting ideas. God Bless YOU!!!
Thank you. ❤
Hear, hear!!! G’ma has a beautiful and useful post.
& Fun!
😚
If only the home owner would go along with the idea.
One of the giant mistakes that people make is purchasing a seed packet and planting it.
If you get a packet of 100 radish seeds and think you’re going to want ten per week, you need to plant ten per week. This, BTW, is also a reason to have a garden notebook.
This is my year to learn successive sowing. I keep sowing seeds every few weeks.
It’s hard to get in the habit, but you just have to do it if you want to be able to shop for fresh produce in your garden.
Excellent resources here:
And,
This, BTW, is a BIG F’N DEAL. And applies to everything. It dictates the things you grow in cold frames as well.
Yes! I am finding that I have room for a lot more plants than I thought. I can tuck things in small places and also replant as soon as something is done producing.
For us, successive planting is esp. important for cucumbers. We like them and we like a vareity of types of cucumbers but when we planted them all at once several years ago we had so many that some spoiled (and we were giving them away) and then we suddenly had none.
We successively plant summer squash, tomotoes and cucumbers.
garden fail last year: I somehow (no I do not understand how I did this because the seeds are so different) planted morning glories instead of green beans a mid/last summer round of green beans to replace plants that would soon peter out.
Real pretty but not what I had wanted!
Big plus of planting some late plants is that we had produce into the fall, throughout Sept.
Yesterday I was looking at how to calculate how much product to expect from seeds planted, or row size, and found this site:
https://morningchores.com/vegetable-garden-size/
It looks to pretty accurate from my experience with gardening, and is a very flexible tool for estimating total amount of garden space needed in total and for each type of vegetable. It’s one of the best I’ve ever seen.
At the end of the article is a link to another article about pros and cons of 18 different gardening methods which was very good.
Excellent. Thank you.
YW
Well I have Plenty of notebooks on hand having gone crazy on some back-to-school special a few years back 🙂 Thanks for the tips!!!
We use that book too!
Every once in a while I find something that crosses over between different interests, so I laughed tonight when I saw Chris Marcus of Arcadia Economics (he covers the silver market, primarily) doing a video of his trip to Washington D.C., and wondering why there is nobody at the White House… 😁
Chris has a good sense of humor, and often refers to himself as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ because he asks a lot of questions aloud that we ask here. He worked as a floor trader for a well known commodities firm, so he has personal experience, and his focus is on silver.
He regularly does videos on how the silver market is being manipulated by the big banks doing naked short-selling to depress silver prices, and approaches it like an investigative reporter. He was in D.C. to interview someone related to the subject of silver price manipulation, if I remember correctly.
So he was walking around D.C., and just doesn’t understand why there is nobody at the White House, or where all the national guard has gone off to…
I think he would enjoy the Qtree… 👍 😁
Tonight’s video has 9,700 views and 322 comments so far:
.
Why is there absolutely nobody at the White House?
One thing I notice is the terrible state of the grass all around. Where are the landscapers?
Growing up in California, the grass in much of the east looks like crap. It’s because ours is chemically-enriched and artificially irrigated, while theirs depends on *shudder* rainfall.
Smoking the grass…
Was just thinking about all the wonderful work Melania did with the Rose Garden and other parts of the White House. And now “nobody Joe” (Joe Btfsplk?) and Kamel-the-Hoe will be trashing it all, when they’re not busy trashing the rest of the USA…
This lines up with a number of other on the ground reporting efforts.
Well this is weird. I wonder what her motive is?
Probably just drunk.
You should have heard her the last time she was drinking. She — a United States senator — actually said “I’m gonna git me a beer“… ‘cuz that’s how Indians talk in New England… 😂 🤣 😂
OMG, I know what it is. You found something!!!
MANY of the violent and more serious “vandal” types on January 6 were FAKE MAGA – and were actually DEMOCRAT and DSA ACTIVISTS.
They were the “foolers” like the guy with the confederate flag, who is registered Dem. A lot of those FAKE MAGA are WHITE WORKING CLASS, and were in fact very likely BERNIE BROS or WARREN TRIBE.
Those people, like Buffalo Boy, have friends. Those friends are pushing to get them out – but they have to do it carefully. NOT all of them got the John Sullivan bail treatment. Not all of them are known MIIC “allies” and government operatives.
Warren is protecting the FAKE MAGA who are also getting the book thrown at them.
OK, here’s a trick question.
Has anyone NOT fake MAGA gotten the book thrown at them? If so what did they do? Vandalize? Go into the building?
YES. Almost all the Oathkeepers have gotten severe treatment. A couple of them are very likely RINGERS. Not fake MAGA, but government informants or assets. The rest of them are REAL patriots, IMO. Almost all of them are getting rough treatment.
There were some of the women who just walked inside and didn’t do anything violent who got SWATted and arrested at gunpoint with all kinds of drama (Dr. Simone Gold, for example), but were released. One woman who was trying to STOP the violence was pushed by a cop shield and pushed back on it – she was charged with assaulting the officer – they came down on her pretty hard. Not sure if she’s still in jail or not.
The guy allegedly with the zip ties is a weird case. Not sure if he’s real or a ringer. They’re coming down hard on him.
What an excellent night at the pub! THANK YOU!
“Coca-Cola? No, not for me – nor for the lady!”
There are so many pictures of Absinthe drinking. I should’ve included some of the artwork.
Thank you!
I love that kind of old French commercial art. I’ve never had absinthe – I’m pretty sure – but as a lover of some of the interesting science of things like wormwood, I think it would be really interesting to try!
It tastes like black licorice to me.
Well, I loved THAT when I was a kid!
Yes, reminds me of sambucca or ouzo a little bit.
that French Absinthe that Lautrec and those guys drank was extremely addictive.
narcotic.
*Leers* That’s right….get loadie-dodie-dodied, and I’ll take you up to my hotel room….
That poster is NOT a good look.
Notice that she’s drinking HIS absinthe. Obviously too much of a lady to order her own. 😉
Too much a lady, eh?
Good observation.
OK, next salvage brew — Two Pitchers Brewing “Radler”. Lager with grapefruit and a hint of blood orange. Brewed in Stevens Point, WI, by brewers originally established in Northern California.
I have three options with this — drink it, send it down the drain without drinking it, or pass it on to someone else. The grapefruit and blood orange are not realistic enough to get a hard pass (I have issues with oranges) but it is absolutely not a pleasant quaff. Is there really a place in my life for alcoholic citrus soda?
Add sugar!!!
Better thought — add brandy. It’s too sweet as it is.
Sounds like a plan!
It isn’t paranoid to watch out for every little twitch in the foliage, because the globo’s are way out ahead of us.
This for instance…..
“A vaccine for malaria at last? Oxford team behind the Covid jab reveal breakthrough against mosquito-borne killer – the first EVER shot to be more than 75% effective”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-9502217/A-vaccine-malaria-Oxford-team-reveal-shot-75-effective.html
Is this the precursor to (excuse for) shutting down production of HCQ ?
I think you are right.
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, not viruses….how the @#$^@ does the concept of “vaccine” even apply????
If antibodies attack some key protein or enzyme in plasmodium, it’s just a larger scale target. Cancer cells, same thing.
It’s just turning into unrestricted biological warfare.

Excellent catch.
And to think, if DDT were still in use, Malaria wouldn’t be the problem it is today….

“Mannian” fake science (hockey stick, et. al.) isn’t new…
William Shakespeare was born on April 23, and died on April 23.
His baptismal record of April 26 is in line with the tradition that children were baptized three days after birth.
There has never been another like him. He has no equal.
He showed us how it was supposed to be done. There were many others at the time who did productions….and only his are performed today.
& if FamilySearch.org & an affiliate website where you can search for blood connections to famous people is true, my husband & kids are Shakespeare’s 1st cousins, many generations removed. Their ancestor was William S’s brother, iirc! 😍
WOW!!
<3
If their ancestor was his brother, they’re not cousins, they’re nieces and nephews many times removed. It’s slightly closer, since the common ancestor is billy’s father and/or mother, not his grandparents on one side or the other.
Nice. I need to get my hobby genealogist card renewed! I guess it might be necessary to look the info up again…hmmm!
yeah you might be remembering “cousin” correct and “William’s brother” wrong, or vice versa.
I’m actually trying to see if I can re-find the info to check…fun!
Wow x 1000!
I love how they say “Shakespeare” in Castilian Spanish – something like “Shah-kay-spay-ah-ray”! LOL. He actually sounds even more AWESOME that way.
“Sha-ke-spe-a-re!”
One might say, “Shakes-without-peare” 🙂
Aha! 😄 Very clever.
Cuppa’s Forte
That is important. April 23 is Saint George’s Day in England. George is our nation’s patron saint.
When it comes to Shakespeare, this is TOTALLY worth a read. He was a GENIUS.
Another book to buy. Sigh. 😁
Oh, it’s worth it.
It’s on my list. 😁
I am definitely going to look into that!
The authorship question has been an interest of mine for many, many years. It is totally irrelevant to the writing, which is incomparable, but it is fascinating to me anyway.
The best book (IMO) from the non-avonians is The Mysterious William Shakespearians by Charlton Ogburn. It us a brilliant book, and you learn about Shakespeare’s times and circumstances incidentally, which is also fascinating.
BTW, an observation. There are two entirely different groups who bear a striking similarity, I have noticed: those who believe that the actor William Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and those who believe in Darwinism/evolution.
(I have my doubts about who wrote Shakespeare, and lean against the actor, but otherwise am not sure. I believe Darwinism/evolution is nonsense, ultimately, and it has ZERO to do with religion; the best I can believe about Darwinism/evolution is that it is unproven).
Anyway, those two disparate groups of believers have the identical way of engaging the disbelievers, which is to assert that the evidence is beyond question, that the evidence is so overwhelming only an idiot could not see it, that only twisted people could not believe, and that it is a waste of time to address disbelievers. What they do not do, in my experience, is to state cogently the evidence for belief.
What I just said is a generalization.
Who wrote Shakespeare is neither here nor there, but the religious nature of the belief in Darwin has been destructive.
I think that Darwinists, to a certain extent, have had to eschew some of his theory.
Irreducible Complexity, and the lack of fossil evidence has been effectively used to poke holes in evolutionary theory.
My astronomy professor always told me that theory must always remain theory, open to being overturned.
That is Science. Always question and look for further evidence.
Interesting how Stephen Jay Gould, a true Darwinist believer, had to write a book about the lack of fossil evidence. The point of his book was NOT to debunk evolution, but to “defend” it by postulating the “theory” of punctuated equilibrium. He was roundly trashed, attacked, smeared and insulted.
But he made a true act of contrition to the bishops and cardinals, signaled that intellectual corruption was a small price to pay for a cushy no-work job, and was received back into church.
I’d just posted my response, and then I saw yours!
I thought of citing the phrase “punctuated equilibrium” but I opted out.
I wonder whether they’ve used WAY too much “equilibrium”, and WAY too little “punctuation”!
Details, details …
That’s an interesting take on it. I’ll just leave it at that, as it would take something the length of a small book to untangle just how much bullshit is in it.
And to be completely honest, I wouldn’t be qualified to write that book.
I would also add that adaptive mutation may happen FAR more quickly than Darwin thought, and far more broadly as well.
Gotta be *quick* to adapt and survive!
And I’ve read from quite a few sources that the vaunted “Carbon dating” (The carbon-14 isotope, IIRC) may have significant errors in its methodology.
It’s awfully tough to suss the ancient past from the meager evidence of today.
Kinda like a PCR test with too high a Ct factor …
There was a lot known today that Darwin did not know. He had no knowledge whatsoever of genetics.
As such his theory is considered incomplete. He argued, quite successfully, that evolution had happened; he didn’t know how it had happened. But that is how science proceeds, people add to the current understanding bit by bit, and sometimes it is found to be woefully incomplete (see classical versus modern physics) or even wrong (see phlogiston).
Carbon 14…There’s a common misconception here, that I don’t know if you share (even if you don’t others reading this might). Carbon-14 is only one of very very many methods of radiological dating. It is only useful to about 50,000 years ago, and it is only useful on formerly living things (e.g., bones, pieces of wood, textiles). There are dozens of other methods, used on rocks.
If someone makes the statement that radiological dating shows the earth is over four billion years ago, he is not basing that statement on C-14, but may be basing it on uranium-lead dating (which is actually two independent tests) or any of a host of other methods. If he says that a certain human burial pit he found in Asia is 30,000 years old, however, he probably is basing that, ultimately, on C-14.
The C-14 and what I will call the rock methods work very differently and there are fundamental differences between them. The biggest difference is that C-14 isn’t a primordial isotope, it’s constantly being regenerated in our atmosphere by cosmic rays. The initial idea assumed that the percentage of atmospheric carbon that is C-14 was constant; we now know that it varies. But knowing that to be the case, and having other methods we can sometimes use to check it, we can calibrate it and can apply simple corrections to older C-14 dates that weren’t initially corrected. The rock methods don’t have this issue.
If someone were to prove, tomorrow, that C-14 dating was pure bunkum, it would throw people studying human prehistory into a tizzy, but it would not, in the slightest, affect what we know about (say) dinosaurs or the age of the earth, because the people studying such things don’t use it.
Steve, I find the breadth and depth of your knowledge quite impressive – thank you for sharing it here, and for doing so without reserve.
I almost ALWAYS learn something from your posts – especially the detailed ones – ty again.
From readings and memory, I’ve long been convinced that there are delimiting factors when it comes to carbon-dating; one feature I hadn’t realized (until now) is the difference between dating the inanimate v. the animate.
50K years (est.) is the max time for reasonable certitude for inquiry of life? I’d never come across that before, nor the difference between dating for it and dating for “rocks” (as good a term as any).
A couple years ago, I came across a poster (elsewhere, I think – but maybe here) who insisted that the age of the Earth is *7* B years, based solely on a meteorite from Mars which landed here which dated as 7B years old, and so he concluded (imperiously, with supposed “consensus” from his coterie) that the Earth MUST be at least that same age.
I find science to be very tricky, because it relies solely on TEXT.
But CONTEXT must be included, and oftentimes the realization of the PROPER context can change ones views almost 180 degrees about how to APPLY that text.
Paraphrasing, Einstein said that it isn’t that physics is *wrong* (per se), it’s just that it isn’t *right enough*.
That’s the perspective I’ve adopted. I search for errors-of-omission, rather than errors-of-commission.
Glad you’re here – Cheers!
I get the sense maybe I wasn’t quite clear enough. 50K is the limit when dating an actual piece of organic matter, a bone, hair, wood.
Fossils–well fossilized body parts–can be dated much further back…albeit very indirectly…because they’re not organic matter; They become fossils by having minerals substituted for the bone (usually) or other tissue. One exception to this is shells and coral, which are largely mineral to begin with. But the usual “rock” radiometric dating isn’t quite going to work here, because they’re useful mainly for igneous rock (i.e., rock that cooled from lava or magma). What happens there is they’ll date volcanic layers of rock and then infer that what is between them is “bracketed” by those ages. Do this enough times worldwide and you’ll get a pretty good idea of when something was alive, and even a new discovery will be datable because it was found next to something already known.
Of course, I don’t do this for a living, and they may have better methods that I just haven’t heard about!
When dating either rocks or C-14 it sometimes comes down to counting *individual atoms* which is very difficult to do, but we’ve gotten better at it, which is why, when you look at old books (like from my childhood) they say the Cambrian started 560 million years ago (Ma) and I was surprised to see many years later in a museum a placard that gave 542 Ma as the time frame. They hadn’t even had time to go through and correct all of the placards on all of the displays yet, so this was a sort of “global correction.” They’re getting both more accurate (i.e., the number is more likely to be the true number) and more precise (they can specify it down to a million years, instead of ten million).
The end of the Cretaceous/death of all dinosaurs other than birds is now pinned down to a range of 600,000 years.
Actually, STRIKE THAT. I just went and looked, it’s now to within eleven thousand years: “66.043 ± 0.011 Ma” (and slightly longer ago than the just under 66 Ma I had thought).
Scientists, when you talk to a real one, will always give a range (unless something is so by definition) on their numbers; it’s often science popularizers and (worse) science journalists who make hard assertions with no uncertainty range on them. This tends to give the public an idea that a scientist will say something, give a precise figure, and expect it to be treated as Holy Writ. That +/- 11 thousand years I quoted means the guy(s) who did the measurement(s) and crunched the numbers are 95 percent confident the true value is in that range, which means they could be wrong 5 percent of the time and still not be really Wrong (in a sort of cosmic sense) about what they do for a living.
A huge part of actual science education for people who plan to be scientists is understanding how inaccurate a measuring tool is and carrying that uncertainty all the way through the calcuations done on the raw data gathered with that tool, to be able to write that confidence interval in your results. It’s drudgery, to be honest (at least I thought so when I had to do it in physics lab), and the book on the subject was boring as all-get-out, but scientists must know statistics at some level. And this is utterly lost in popular culture images of what scientists do.
… treated as Holy Writ …
You mean like Fau-xi does?
No joke there.
That perspective of errors of omission has done wonders in correcting mistaken theories.
Untrue. It has had to be modified in details here and there over the years (Darwin didn’t know anything about genetics, so putting that together with what he did see both modified and strengthened his theory) but has suffered no damage whatsoever to the basic concept.
One thing many bashers don’t understand is that fossil formation is an extremely rare event. Most things that die get eaten or decompose, maybe one in a billion large critters becomes a fossil because it died in a landslide or drowned in a stagnant pond. This is understood very well, and in any case if nothing had ever fossilized, it would make no difference; it’s only one of many lines of evidence that evolution did happen. Now if a fossil were found that unambiguously contradicted the understanding arrived at by other means (e.g., rabbits in the pre-Cambrian, to cite a famous hypothetical someone once posited), that would be something, but having infrequent and spotty evidence in one area doesn’t threaten evolution in the slightest.
The usual “irreducible complexity” example is the eye, and that has been debunked again and again and again. Eyes are not irreducibly complex. If some creationist “scientist” still keeps bringing it up, he’s a liar. (On the other hand if someone else brings it up because he saw a creationist “scientist” bring it up, he’s merely deceived. “Fake news” isn’t just a leftist phenomenon.)
Please explain, then. I haven’t followed this argument in years so I am interested in how the complexity issue has been debunked.
Also, I hope you aren’t assuming I am a basher. I remain open to the possibility of a billions of years old earth.
Your explanation for the lack of a fossil record does not hold water with me.
A very old earth with millions or billions of years of life forms would have more interim evolutionary evidence. I cannot blindly accept that fossil formation is rare. Especially since I find them all over the place everywhere I have lived.
I could go out in my driveway right now and find one within a minute. My grandkids bring me loads of them after a day playing at my home.
And I agree that people convinced of a young earth theory can also tell tall tales or believe things that are not necessarily backed up by science.
So there. 😁
Eyes first: The presumption is that an eye is useless without a lens, cornea, iris, etc. And it seems true on the surface, yes your eye would be useless if it were completely missing those parts.
The person using irreducible complexity wants you to imagine that evolutionary theory says the human eye came into being one of these pieces at a time, but otherwise was unchanged…going backward in time, we’d find ancestors that were missing their cornea, and therefore had useless eyes (that nonetheless were expensive to maintain).
Let me clear on this: IF that was what evolutionary theory had to say about it, evolutionary theory would be bunkum. The problem is, that’s not what it says and like many other attacks on evolution it ultimately relies on the straw man fallacy. (You’re probably familiar with, and have seen through, other examples of it, like the really ignorant “If we came from monkeys why are there still monkeys?”)
Yes, *your* eye would be nearly useless without a lens (it could tell you whether it was nighttime or daytime and might be able to detect that *something* is blocking the sunlight, but that’s about it).
But there are creatures out there with nothing but a sensitive spot on their skin. It works for them. There are other creatures out there where the sensitive spot is in a pretty crude-looking “cup” and that gives them some sense of direction, especially if they have two or more of these eyes.
Closer to our end of the scale, cephalopods (spell check is flagging that) have what we would think of as a fully formed eye…but no cornea. The other parts, however, can compensate for that lack, which they couldn’t do if you lost your cornea. Nautiluses also don’t have a lens, which makes their vision worse. Their eye is like a pinhole camera, rather than one with a lens…but they manage to make good use of it anyway.
So there are plenty of eyes out there today that demonstrate eyes are not irreducibly complex…but in just about every case out there, the parts that DO exist are not duplicates of the parts from our eyes, which allows them to function better than our eyes would if similarly restricted in their parts list.
Incidentally, our retinas are set up in a very inefficient way…the rods and cones are *behind* the nerve cells, rather than in front of them! The nerve cells not only block the light, but because they gather into a bundle and no light cells can be in the same place as that bundle, we have blind spots and our brains fill them in assuming nothing different is there. If the light receptors were in front of the nerves this would not be an issue. Other creatures that developed eyes independently of ours didn’t do this.
As for the rarity of fossilization, they’re rare…but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a ton of them, because a LOT of things have lived on earth. And in some cases, locally, it was common. Pretty much any coral is pre-fossilized since it’s largely minerals to begin with.
Think about it: when some living thing dies, it usually decomposes, which means it will never be a fossil. Only one time in a million (or maybe billion) will it not be given a chance to decompose, and will instead become a fossil. But then, how many billions OF billions (not and, OF) of things have lived? If only one in a million got to be fossils, do the multiplication, and that’s still a lot of fossils! Especially since these events will tend to clump. A landslide that kills a T-Rex, for example, probably killed a lot of other things at the same time; millions of years later that will be a fossil bed with a lot of fossils in it, but the vast majority of T-rexs didn’t fossilize (they probably ended up being T-Rex poop as others scavenged the corpses). There are doubtless millions of species we will *never* know about because they lived in areas where fossilization didn’t happen…for example the fauna that were living on Antarctica when the glaciers formed, probably all got pushed out to sea by the glaciers. Short of a time machine, we’ll never know what was alive there when that happened. And also, many fossils have eroded away, sometime since they were made.
There is no evidence that sensitive spots in one creature are capable of evolving into a complex system for vision under a broad spectrum of light.
It’s apples and oranges. Just because some creatures have sensitive spots and some have complex eye systems does not disprove or prove evolution and/or a sense of divine creation.
What it does do is show a diversity of creatures on this earth that may or may not have anything historically in common. And it points to an alternate view of how life came to be.
The lack of a fossil record is a huge sticking point, especially since we have seen so many false examples of supposed evolution in our books and exhibits. Some of which continue to be taught even though they are acknowledged to be false.
At this point I am more inclined to believe in an alien race seeding the planet and leaving their ‘children’ to their own devices. The cosmic watchmakers, if you will.
If there was actual evidence for evolution, in a cohesive and comprehensive manner, I would take it seriously as a theory.
I agree with this, all of it, starting with the last part: if there were actual evidence for evolution in a cohesive and comprehensive manner, I would take it seriously.
Said respectfully: a lack of evidence is a lack of evidence. There may be a perfectly reasonable explanation for the lack of evidence; there may be several perfectly reasonable explanations for a lack of evidence; there may even be contradictory explanations for the lack of evidence, all of them perfectly reasonable. But the evidence is still lacking.
The instances of fraud with respect to the fossil record, fraud which contributed so mightily to belief in evolution, do not disprove evolution. But they do highlight the lack of evidence.
Said with sincere respect: so far your responses are in perfect accord with my observation about how true believers respond to skeptics.
And one thing I did not mention which you also illustrate, is how true believers insist that skeptics are motivated by religion, if that is what you meant by “creationist” scientists. That is a logical fallacy always, without exception, present in the assertions of true believers.
It is not necessary to present any evidence whatsoever, let alone believe in something else, to say that evolution is unproven. And, as I said, that is the most charitable thing I can say about evolution, that it is unproven, and it is also the sole basis for true believers and skeptics to engage.
But true believers always, always, avoid the question of evidence, and focus on the motivations of the skeptics.
Evolution as a belief predated Darwin by a century. Darwin and Watson merely arrived at the alleged mechanism more or less simultaneously.
I looked forward to Dawkin’s book a few years back where he was going to finally explain to all the idiots the evidence for evolution/Darwinism, in terms even the stupid people like me could understand. My mind then, as now, was totally open. But I read the dozens (scores? hundreds?) of reviews at Amazon from his fellow believers who unanimously agreed (alas!) that the book failed to do that. So I didn’t waste my time.
But if anyone can suggest a book conclusively demonstrating evolution, please do so. The Origin of Species certainly does not.
But the book has to be just about the evidence, not about religion, not about creationism, not about alternative alternative theories of existence, not about people the author regards as stupid or deceived. And the book must cite and honestly explain what, if any, are the gaps in the evidence for Darwinism/evolution. Or is the evidence perfectly complete?
Excellent response.
BTW, I recommend Wolfe’s The Kingdom of Speech, which is both short and entertaining.
The book is about a gap in the evidence for evolution, language/speech. Chomsky insisted there was an internal organ which evolved and controlled speech. Even Chomsky took that off the table and we are back again to wondering.
Thanks. I have been out of the loop for awhile on this subject.

This is a very entertaining and short post by Fred Reed, who is by no means a religious person.
It takes 5-10 minutes to read, and I found it sort of delightful.

Just count me in.
OK, since you’re in, how’s The Project???
No, nada, none, cth. All gone!
Did you just scrap it, or what?
I tried every which way to update, upgrade or insert and nothing worked.
I believe my tablet is just too old. So, unless I fork money over to Apple, I just cannot see another way…
Somehow I hit ‘send’ and a ‘the’ was inserted!

Stumbled onto an article ( Oct. 2020) that details how the government contracted out Operation Warp Speed vaccine development using a contracting company, ATI, with ties to the 3 letters.
Very unsettling. Not sure about the website, but has a lot of info.
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2020/10/investigative-reports/operation-warp-speed/
Fta:
“Advanced Technology International, or (ATI), is a non-profit company that organizes consortia of public, private and academic organizations that perform Research and Development (R&D) on behalf of the U.S. government. ATI mostly manages R&D consortia for the Department of Defense for things like weapons manufacturing, metal casting and forging, ship production and technology aimed at “countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs).” They also manage the Border Security Technology Consortium (BSTC) for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is largely comprised of surveillance technology companies, among other DHS research projects.
“ATI only currently manages two consortia with any sort of relationship to healthcare, the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) and the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC). The MTEC, operating on behalf of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, aims to “accelerate the development of revolutionary medical solutions,” which include gene-editing, nanotechnology, “telehealth solutions,” artificial limbs and brain implants. They are also currently developing a wearable device that would diagnose individuals with Covid-19 before symptoms appear.”

I am a big fan of the Anderson Valley Brewing Company, and have been since before anyone ever heard of them.
They did a pretty good job of slipping cherry flavoring into a beer.
I’ll never buy the Cherry Gose to have the Cherry Gose, but I might be able to finish it.
Fun with ENGLISH!!!
I can’t believe she had never heard the word ‘gerund’ spoken before…so she pronounced it “gair-ROOND”.
🙄
And she teaches English…?
And she posts about Americans’ mispronunciations, no less!
That’s a face-plant right there …
IKR?
She apparently teaches English to non-English-speaking people.
So she’s trying to make them feel better, by telling them that Americans mispronounce words too.
🙄
I only watched a few minutes of it (tempus fugit), but did she include “birfday” or “toofbrush”?
Or have I axed the wrong question …
Heheh…no she didn’t mention those.
To be fair, she had encountered the German version of the word previously, which does include “Ger-roond”.
Indeed, German influenced my pronunciation, too. After I took German, I became more conscious of the “U” and moved from “JEHR-‘nd” (super short southern schwa bordering on contraction) to “JERH-uuhnd” with a pronounced “U” bordering on “OO”. It was VERY interesting psychology.
MOAR INGLISH. All 3 kinds! 😉
The USA girl said we call liquor stores…”ABC Stores”.
I’ve never heard them called that.
“Liquor Stores” is what I’ve always heard them called.
😏
Virginia has ABC stores, Maryland had liquor stores. In Tn we can buy beer at the gas station or grocery store, wine at the grocery store, liquor at the liquor store. 🍻
We did have a drive through liquor store in Md.
Thanks, CM.
I suspected that it might be a regional thing.
Out here in the Midwest, I’ve only seen them called ‘liquor stores’.
It’s usually a little store with a sign that says — LIQUOR.
😄
ID, MT, NM, NE grocery stores any alcohol.
KS, CO (mostly but loosening up in some cities) liquor stores.
UT . State liquor stores, limited hours. Toughest rules. Everyone buys vodka, extra large bottles. 🤣🤣🤣
PSA. Alcohol is a diluted poison.
Montana only sells liquor in specially licensed stores, or state liquor stores. Never grocery stores.
PA used to allow bars to sell beer.
I wonder if they still do – I remember picking up a six-pack at one of them without having to show ID … nice!
NJ = liquor store. Or in select neighborhoods . . . likra stow.
Some states have ABC, some have liquor, here we can get it all in the grocery store.
Package Store or just PK store is common in New England.
Class-Six is common in the military.

Good morning, Grandma in Texas! Love your informative Friday posts!
The Wormwood and the Gall is mentioned in Scripture and is said to signify bitterness – it’s now a metaphor in the Dictionary it means “strong feelings of bitterness and resentment. (“Gall” is bile and “wormwood” is a bitter plant.)
Example: Ever since I lost the election for school president, I only feel gall and wormwood whenI think of my unworthy opponent.”
Wormwood and gall are also mentioned in the hymn – All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.
Absinthe Drinkers is a famous painting by Degas.
All Hail The Power of Jesus Name!
Hymn Story
THE Rev. Edward Perronet was a most devout man, who had the courage of his convictions and was not afraid to suffer for what he thought to be right. He lived in the days of the Wesleys and was intimate with them, and the philanthropic Lady Huntingdon was his patroness for a time. But these friends he felt it necessary to surrender because he conscientiously differed with them on some points of belief. His immortal hymn, “All hail the power of Jesus name,” has proved a blessing to Protestants of all beliefs.
One of the most dramatic instances of its use was found in the experience of the Rev. E. P. Scott in India. His friends had urged him not to venture near a certain barbarous inland tribe, whom he wished to evangelize. But he went forward with high courage, never wavering in his duty, and trusting in God to protect him. When at last he reached their country among the hills, he came upon a company of these savages. Immediately they surrounded him, pointing their spears at him with threatening scowls. He had nothing in his hands but his violin; and so, closing his eyes, he began to play and sing, “All hail the power of Jesus name.” When at last he opened his eyes he expected to be killed instantly. But his life had been spared through the singing of the hymn. Their spears had dropped, and they received him first with curiosity and interest, and then later with eagerness, as he told them the gospel story and won their hearts to the will of Jesus Christ.

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.

HOW TO DO…I LOVE YOU?

That’s a good question. Simply saying, “I Love You”, to someone isn’t always enough. At times our words can sound robotic, like saying hello or good-bye over the phone. As I listened to this new song, to me, my mind wandered off to the Lord. As a part of the body of the Bride of Christ, I pondered over how do I DO I love you? How do I express that to my Lord? So often, I simply say, Lord you know my heart. This song made me wonder about me, and all who are coming closer to the Lord. How do we show we are grateful to all that He has done for us? How do we do I love you?
So often I get so wrapped up in asking forgiveness, and thanking Him for all he has done for me and my family that I fail to say I love you. I offer praise and thanks… and I really had to think about if I even, ever, often say it?

How To Do I Love You
Words of wisdom. This is where we went off the rails, IMO. Concentration on academics moreso than molding virtuous people.
Absinth makes the heart grow fonder.
great thread !
but wait….
👉 Cindy Crawford…?????
WTH
http://www.thesarcasticblonde.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/tenor-2.gif
🙌
honestly…I am having a hard time processing Cindy Crawford…???
she’s such a nothing-burger .
what about Jane ?
I mean c’mon men…
Jane’s still a Revolutionary…..at 81 !
see ? 👇👇
I admire Jane because she obviously has the best cosmetic surgeon ever. 😂
yes, I agree.
she has maintained her good looks, I’ll give her that…altho at some point, even the best work starts to look spooky under certain lighting…like daylight.
and she did have her moments as an actress, back in the day.
but as an “activist” ???
LOLOL
she’s made an utter fool of herself there.
but still….
Cindy Crawford ????
I guess Cindy needs to feel loved for something other than her looks.
didn’t she sell cheap furniture for Kmart…or something…?
Rooms-to-Go ?
👊
>>”didn’t she sell”<<
Yes – yes she did.
Not furniture, though … I think she began with hawking something completely different.
Fame and fortune has its price, yes?
and what about this over-rated glamor boy has-been ? 👇👇
he’s still an Activist Revolutionary, isn’t he ??
I guess there just wasn’t enough space ~ the Horse Whisperer

Science News vs. Science – Watts Up With That?
From the article: “Bottom Line:
1. It is the journalists’ responsibility to do good, honest journalism – to tell the truth without bias.
2. It is the readers’ responsibility to read carefully, widely and critically and to ensure, to the best of the readers’ ability, that information taken into one’s understanding is as close to the truth as possible under existing circumstances.
3. Everything that you believe or understand to be true that is Not True – that does not accord with the greater reality – makes you stupider and less informed, more prone to errors in other types of judgements and decisions in your everyday life.”
All good. What the author did not really discuss was the MORAL aspect of lying to readers. That is what the reporter did. She lied about the results of the study in order to get people to exercise more.
The Ends Justifies the Means kind of lying.
This is the mindset of a person who lacks MORAL training.
It is rife in all our institutions, as we sadly see. It is not just one’s responsibility to tell the truth. It is a moral imperative.
Until we can get back to talking about right and wrong, sin and repentance in our culture, we will remain lost in every area of society, including Science.
A bit about wormwood. I grow it in my yard.
Wormwood is used as an anti-malarial, as is its cousin mugwort, in many parts of the world. Lots of herbalist have it around now because it can be used to treat Covid, similarly to HCQ, another anti-malarial.
Some people use it as a once-a-year system clean-out tea in the spring.
In the garden, it’s pretty. Silvery-green lacy leaves. And it smells really nice, sort of spicy.
I want some. 😁
It’s easy to grow. I started mine from seed a few years ago, and it survives Montana winters. It will also make “babies” and spread, but not obnoxiously, at least not here.
Cindy Crawford ! YESSS ! Rooms-to-Go !!

👄💋💃👠

oh, smiley…Thanks for this little interlude.
Gaucho is my favorite Steely Dan album…and posting this cut was a great adjunct to the “topic”!
YW
ok so I’m really trying to find something about Cindy Crawford, like, maybe being an activist, or something ?
closest I could find is, like, she’s a Luxury Activist 👊
…and…
👉 she wears sustainable jeans.
sustainable jeans !
🙌
maybe they mean sustainable genes ? 👊
whatever anyway so ok, she and the Clooneys hung out together on the beach during the covid lockdown.
that is just sooo heavy.👊
pics of that, here 👇

I can not believe how totally relevant Cindy Crawford isn’t.
Maybe they were made of hi-falutin’ elitist, greenie, hypersensitive fabric…
Very expensive.
Indeed, SO STAINABLE…
Sorry, all I can think of when I see Cindy Crawford is Richard Gere and gerbils…😲😨

I think EVERYONE should be growing some food.
Thank you, Grandma, for all of the helpful links and advice in your post today.
I think the hardest thing for newby gardeners is the acceptance that some things fail. But that happens to me almost every year with one thing or another, and I have gardened since my small childhood. I grew up working in the garden with my grannie. And she had about four acres of production. At least one acre of that was corn.
I really like the Four Season Farm website’s ideas about “organic” versus what they call “REALORGANIC.” Organic veggies in the grocery store are not what you think. Check out the “How We Farm” tab at Grandma’s link. It’s eye-opening.
My original inspiration for converting my entire backyard from a few garden plots with grass to NO grass at all with only garden spaces was Esiah Levy’s London garden. Esiah died in 2019, but you can read about him at this link:
https://www.houzz.com/magazine/lush-foodie-abundance-in-a-small-urban-garden-stsetivw-vs~53957768
He is also one of the growers in this article. More urban food growing inspiration:
https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/world-of-design-10-home-growers-show-us-their-edible-gardens-stsetivw-vs~53688223
We all have to remember that our grandparents and great-grandparents mostly raised their own food, and if they had sucked at it, we probably wouldn’t be here! We can do it, too!
Aubergine, if Wolf gives the go ahead for a Food Freedom Forum topic, you should head it up.
Checking out your links.
Wisdom as always from you. 🥰
I also heard that what you buy in the store as Organic may have been properly Organic in the field, but once it gets to a packer it can be sprayed with chemicals to keep it fresh.
It’s a damned racket like all the other lies we are sold.
Thanks, Grandma! I love your Friday posts, I always learn something interesting.
Fta at Hiuzz: “What I love about gardening is the freedom,” Levy says. “You can grow whatever you want! You discover very quickly that there isn’t just one type of apple, pear or carrot. Growing your own opens your mind to the fact that the food you are offered in a supermarket is only part of the story.”
Since we don’t even come close to raising all of our own food we purposely grow unusual varieties as the rest of the year we get the same exact varieties in the stores – 1 or 2 kinds of green beans, carrots, bell peppers, etc. So, we grow heritage and a wide variety to give our diet more variety.
Sometimes I think it would be a good idea if we MAGA folk develop our own economy, including preferred places to buy, etc. Better to do it before we’re forced to do it by the Karen Kancel Kulture Kreeps…
Being able to live and thrive “off of the grid” (cf the Amish) may be critical for survival, or at least for maintaining our sanity and insuring our future well-being…
One hundred percent.
I agree, 100%.
Unless they go after the Amish also ?
I am trying to expand my vegetable garden. They key word is try because my husband the engineer has to measure first make a sketch and see how plausible it is to have the expanded garden on the south side of the house.
My right brain is revolting because I see that it is durable and see the garden already in its glory and all the possibility. Right now there is an entrenched left brain revolting against the right brain that is free from unreasonable entrenched restrain 🙂
Left brain sees work right brain sees fun play in the dirt and the fruit of enjoyment in the garden. Why a left brain assumes that it is his job I never know since the right brain is having all the enjoyment playing and harvesting and cooking and preserving 😂
Men…
Engineer men……!
Engineers are a breed apart, even the women!

Our Legislature here in OK passed three bills this week…that made liberal heads explode:
A couple dozen BLM protesters showed up at the State Capitol building and yelled about it for awhile.
They were arrested.
The Bills had already been passed, though.
😆
Our governor has signed the Bills now.
That’s great news, Wheatie!!!
In the Heydon Music Page video – they showed the protesters in the balcony – they were annoying – the gavel was repeatedly pounded – wondered if they arrested them – good to hear they did!!! WooHoo!!!
People here are saying the protesters “should be charged with sedition!”
Heheh. I like that idea.
😄
Oh, me, too!!! Not that it would stick or anything – just sounds good – lol
That Bill about protestors also made it a misdemeanor to block roads during a protest.
Which I thought is a good thing. 👍
I loved that part – it is about time they did something about them obstructing traffic!!!
Well now we can give them a little :::bump::: if they are trying to block a road.
😁
And we wouldn’t get charged with anything.
I want them bumped AND arrested, Wheatie!!!
They can get a year in prison and a $5000 fine.
😏👍
Really? Wow!!! Somebody call Gov DeSantis – bet he would love this!!!
Wheatie: Did Oklahoma pass a bill stating that Churches are ESSENTIAL entities?
Not sure…I think our governor made a declaration about it, though.
Declaring them ‘essential’.
It was mentioned on the ACLJ video wherein they were discussing religious liberty – they claimed it was a ‘bill’ that was passed – so I was asking you if you could verify, Wheatie.
I just checked…and yep, he did that a year ago.
Did what? Was it just a ‘declaration’ or a ‘bill’ passed by the legislature?
Yes…it was another Bill passed this week.
WooHoo!!! Yay!!! Woopie!!! Thanks, Wheatie!!!
They are taking on Critical Race Theory too:

Good for them – you must be so proud your state is stepping up to the plate to be counted, Wheatie!!!

Does one have to register if I only want to watch it, or is the registration only required for those who want to ask questions. It seems a bit unclear to me.
My take. Gotta register to listen in, live only. I signed up for the freebie.
There is a “premium” for additional stuff. Believe it includes asking questions and access to video recording for speakers “missed”.
My GUESS is the videos will in time be available.
Same.
Many thanks 🙂

EYE ON THE NEWS
The Courage of Our ConvictionsHow to fight critical race theory
Christopher F. Rufo
April 22, 2021 The Social Order
https://www.city-journal.org/how-to-fight-critical-race-theory
Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.
To explain critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Karl Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.
During the twentieth century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster. Socialist governments in the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia, Cuba, and elsewhere racked up a body count of nearly 100 million people. They are remembered for gulags, show trials, executions, and mass starvations. In practice, Marx’s ideas unleashed man’s darkest brutalities.

New Ben Garrison Cartoon Eyes On The Arizona Audit- THE WORD FOR TODAY IS “AUDIT” THE SECOND WORD FOR TODAY IS “PANIC”
The Arizona audit of the 2020 election begins today and the Democrats are panicking. Why? If the election was fraud free and secure they would have no concerns about the outcome of the audit. The Democrats filed a last minute lawsuit this morning trying to block the audit set to begin today. Read the post at
https://grrrgraphics.com/eyes-on-the-arizona-audit/
DUCKING FEMOCRATS! 😉
I’m reading that the big worry isn’t the fraud so much as the provable foreign interference.
IMHO – The foreign interference is a big deal – and involved more than one country – unfortunately, groups of people participated in outright fraud here in America – in the swing states – from unfolded ballots to ballots tallied numerous times – Internet availability – no signature validation – and rules made by improper authorities – think of all of the people who are going to jail.
Why did they fight so hard against the audit in Maricopa County? We know the foibles that occurred in Georgia at various levels – AND – they have the vote totals before the count stopped.
Then – there is the question of the ‘fake’ pandemic used to validate mail-in and absentee voting. What group concocted this scheme?
The machines were CONTROLLED from inside and outside of the country – and the evidence of what happened in Venezuela over at least (2) election cycles is proof the machines can be calibrated to produce the desired result.
What if they knew about all of this in 2018 – how many of those elections were fixed?
This is HUGE!!! It is not about a 4-Year Election – this is a usurpation of our government.
PT said – ‘We caught them all’ – wonder if that was not just about the effort to oust him – wonder if they knew in 2018 how it was done – the problem for them is – they could not just cheat a little – they had to cheat a lot because of the landslide vote for Trump. We have it all – but – the question is ‘Who is going to present it and to whom?’
At some point, it is going to have to be presented to the American people – to justify the arrests.
“At some point, it is going to have to be presented to the American people – to justify the arrests.”
____________
But if they ever did that, then the shadow war would be over, and the white hats would win.
Then what would they do?
What would animate them?
What would give them a reason to look forward each day, if their 7+ decade shadow war ever actually ended?
It’s the same problem all the spooks faced during the Cold War — they couldn’t let the Cold War end… what would they ever do afterwards? Their entire careers, accolades, camaraderie, mythos, their entire lives were defined by the conflict… you can’t just ‘end’ something like that.
It would be like ending manufacturing, or sales, or marketing. The show must go on.
It’s the same reason we have endless wars all over the world. What would the military industrial complex do, if peace suddenly broke out all over the place?
It’s a horror too great for even hardened warriors to contemplate…
I mean, can you even imagine how awful a cessation of hostilities… everywhere… how utterly stupefying that would be?
So I’m not worried about the truth ever being presented to anybody, in any way that will ever end the conflict.
This conflict we’re in now, that we’ve been in for decades, but which is being more widely exposed now — this is what they live for.
Why would they ever do anything to end it?
It is not up the THEM to end it – it is up to US to end it!!!
While we may not be able to totally eradicate evil – we can certainly diminish it to irrelevance.
Because we complained rather than reacted (in our own way according to God’s purpose for our lives) – evil has gown obnoxiously powerful.
Evil has infiltrated every aspect of our lives and certainly influenced those in governments around the world.
I do not know who these ‘white hats’ about whom you speak are, Scott – but, I do know there is good and evil in this world – and I do know how this story ends.
I am not sure what it is that must happen for you to be convinced something is happening – or – that God is in control of this mess.
I put my trust in God – and not in man – and I know that whatever happens or does not happen – is way above my pay grade – it lies in His domain.
“I am not sure what it is that must happen for you to be convinced something is happening”
____________
The same thing that always must happen to be convinced something is happening.
How many movies have you ever seen where the bad guy gets caught and apprehended at the end? They put the cuffs on him, and take him away.
Some movies even show the trial, where the bad guy is convicted, and some even show the bad guy being executed.
The same thing happens in real life, the bad guys actually get arrested.
These types of things would be very much more convincing, compared to reading tea leaves and reverse-engineering current events to shoe-horn them into a soothing narrative we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better.
I have never experienced a world that works that way, only fantasy. In the real world, when things are happening, we can see them happening. We can see bad guys being arrested and prosecuted and convicted.
Has it not always been that way?
So what is this new thing, where nobody is ever even publicly accused, much less arrested or prosecuted or convicted, yet we’re all supposed to pretend as if we’re in the 4th act of a police procedural, and all kinds of things are happening?
Where is the the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen?
.
” – or – that God is in control of this mess.”
___________
I have no doubt that God is in control. I just don’t know how that necessarily translates into things turning out well here.
God was in control of the Roman Empire too. And the Babylonian Empire.
And the Macedonian Empire. Now they’re just a bot-farm (according to Hitlery)… 😂 🤣 😂
.
“I put my trust in God – and not in man –”
__________
Me too.
.
“…and I know that whatever happens or does not happen – is way above my pay grade – it lies in His domain.”
_________
Agreed, however, like the story about the guy sitting on his roof during a flood, waiting for God to rescue him, we have to get in the boat or in the helicopter He sends to rescue us.
We can’t just stay on the roof, telling the would-be rescuers to go away, we’re waiting on God to save us.
In that case, it was God who sent the rescuers.
The man on the roof needed to take some kind of action, didn’t he?
From the Health and Freedom Conference in Tulsa OK – those who analyzed what happened there – Patriots and Christians coming together to take back control.
If you have not listened to the speakers – it is worth your while – however – the general consensus is we need to unite and work together – but, first – we need to turn to God en mass – because evil is so entrenched in all facets of life – it cannot be defeated without God.
There are things happening we cannot see – perhaps, some day what has happened behind the scenes will be revealed to the public – there is a reason why it is being kept under wraps – why it cannot be unwrapped – one reason is the LSM – they will not report on it – mainly because they are thick into it and complicit and more likely than not – guilty as sin.
We are all anxious for Justice – but, if half the DOJ is dirty – where are we going? Nowhere – fast – so what can we do – but, wait – and PRAY!!!
“but, first – we need to turn to God en mass – because evil is so entrenched in all facets of life – it cannot be defeated without God.”
__________
I would have loved it if DJT had covered himself in sackcloth and ashes and appealed to God to save us from this wicked generation, and encouraged all believers to do the same.
That’s how they did it in the Bible.
That is the example.
.
“We are all anxious for Justice – but, if half the DOJ is dirty – where are we going?”
__________
I would be shocked if only half of the DOJ is dirty. They have a job to do, they don’t get to play spy games and black hat / white hat fantasy football.
And yet, best case scenario, that’s what they’re doing. They are playing games with the Law, the Constitution and American lives, in the supposed furtherance of some shadow war… that’s the BEST case scenario. And it is LAWLESS.
So all those who have been so concerned about “the letter of the law” and adhering to the Constitution even if it means national suicide — even in the best case scenario, the DOJ and other agencies aren’t dong any of that.
The fact that they are clearly a political weapon of the foreign and domestic criminals who have overtaken our government is evidence that the DOJ is wholly corrupt.
If there are ANY good people still in the DOJ, what are they doing there?!?
Telling themselves that they need to stay so at least one person isn’t corrupt, while they continue to collect a paycheck and secure a pension while working for the Nazis?
If that’s a ‘good guy’, then we’re in heap-um big trouble.
The next question is WHY is the DOJ wholly corrupt, after FOUR YEARS of DJT being POTUS?
Not looking for excuses, just actual real reasons.
Because the most powerful man in the world was not powerless over any of the agencies in the Executive Branch, or any of those employees who serve at his pleasure.
Barr was told to clean up the mess – he may or may not hav done some things – but, the human trafficking was a main concern – I think that was his job – and because all of these agencies are so infiltrated – I doubt they could be Cloroxed in (4) short years – and that includes all of the ABC Agencies.
These evil entities are so entrenched in every nook and cranny – it would take a huge bomb to extract them.
How PT was able to do as much as he did do while being attacked at every turn is nothing short of a miracle.
I understand perfectly what you are saying – however – you have to realize how massive an operation this is – it is YUGE!!! It will take years to clean house.
“you have to realize how massive an operation this is – it is YUGE!!! It will take years to clean house.”
__________
The longer it takes, the greater the doubt of the outcome.
Myanmar cleaned house in HOURS.
Anything that takes YEARS is just a manifestation of fear to do what is necessary.
Myanmar is dealing with one country only – our fight is with many – I see what you mean – however – when I said years – I meant for the entire cabal to fall – since it is intertwined throughout the world.
Not talking about ‘taking our country back’ – that will be quicker – since there an be no future elections until the 2020 election is resolved.
I have heard many ‘predictions’ – for when the rightful civilian government will be restored – June – July – August – September – and the end of the year.
We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes of what has to happen before the Republic can be restored – and if we listened to the LSM – one would think this ‘show’ is real – it is not.
Another thing I have heard/read is that TPTB are planning a major event – where – no one knows – but, this event will affect the entire world.
Anyway – what we are experiencing now and since the ‘fake’ inauguration – is a holding pattern – and the tide is turning – even though it appears we are at a standstill.
Just as they overcompensated for the Trump Landslide – they overcompensated for CV – people are not buying what they are selling – and are literally fed up with the restrictions – and the lies.
No Fear – Pure Faith – God’s Got It!!!
Some Dems (and maybe Repubs too) no doubt colluded with foreign countries to work against the American system of holding elections, which cheated PDJT out of his second consecutive term and disenfranchised millions of us. They conspired with enemies of the U.S. to put in leaders that the enemies preferred. In my book, that’s treason. I’d like to know all the legal ramificaitons of what they’ve done, and what they could be charged with.
“Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. This must change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.”
_____________
I’ll tell you exactly how to fight it.
You have your GOVERNMENT do it’s JOB.
It’s exhausting — by design — to get hit with a new “here’s a huge problem you can never solve, and here’s what you need to do to prepare for it — every single day of your life.
The honest truth is that you and me, as individuals, are not going to do ANYTHING to ‘fight it’.
It’s like asking an ant to fight an Aardvark.
It’s stupid.
What we are facing is a full-court onslaught of government (our own and foreign adversarial governments) and corporate fascism.
Bill Gates x China x Soros x every bad actor on the planet to the one-hundreth power.
You and I aren’t going to do a single thing to defeat that, and all bravado aside, it’s silly to think otherwise.
So the next response is “let’s give it the old college try and unite, and together we can defeat that big bad monster!”.
The Big Bad Monster is:
1) a foreign professional military
2) working in concert with our own government (which in turn controls our ghetto fabulous military)
3) working in concert with Big Tech
4) working in concert with MSM
So they control all MSM communications (propaganda), they control the military (theirs and ours), they control total online surveillance (Big Tech) and censorship (Big Tech), and they control or government which means they control law enforcement.
You’re not going to defeat that, and neither am I.
Because it’s you or me against Bill Gates x a quadrillion.
They have infinite money, and they control everything — government, foreign adversaries, technology, money, POWER.
This is the whole reason we HAVE a military, is so that We the People don’t have to fight a foreign military by ourselves — and that is exactly what we are being asked to do.
Joe Six-pack is being asked to fight the Chinese Communist military, and Big Tech, and MSM, and the United States government, by HIMSELF.
Or we can unite and fight!
Except from a practical standpoint, that’s trying to herd 300 million cats, and that’s never going to work.
Besides which, Bill Gates can hire an army of flame-throwers to surround him, and all we would end up with is the biggest cat barbecue on record in the 2022 Guinness Book of World Records.
It’s like asking Ma and Pa Kettle in some Roman province to defeat the Roman Empire.
It’s hilariously stupid.
This is the whole reason why we have a government to represent us, and a professional military to combat the professional military of our adversaries, because you and I are not professional military.
We’re not even in the same league as the Bad News Bears going up against the World Series Champions.
It is not possible for individual Americans to fight on a thousand different fronts, 24/7/365. We are being overwhelmed. Which frankly is EASY for any professional nation-state military, like taking candy from a baby.
And that is exactly where our military and our government has left us.
So if we want to win, we will never do it by chasing and fighting the shiny object de jour.
The only way we win is to retake command of the Behemoth, in order to destroy the invading Behomoths.
Or to say it another way, our country was invaded by giant Aardvark robots.
We had the biggest, baddest Aardvark Robot on the planet, but the guys who run the Aardvark turned out to be traitors who turned our Aardvark over to the Chinese Communists.
If we want to beat the invading Aardvark robots, we will never do it (we’re just ants!) until or unless we retake control of OUR Aardvark.
If we do that, OUR 1st tier Aardvark robot can destroy all the smaller 2nd and 3rd tier invading Aardvark robots.
But until we retake control of our own Aardvark robot, we’re just ants.
This is the enemy:
By contrast, we are so small that we can’t even be seen in the photo.
And we don’t have any planes to tow cables to weave in between the legs in order to trip the Walkers.
If we’re going to win, we need to retake control of our own Walker.
Because those little people on the ground, so small that you can’t even see them, are not going to defeat even a single Walker, much less the entire armada of Walkers deployed by all of our adversaries.
This is a Walker vs. Walker battle, and we don’t have a Walker.
Unless we get ours back.
You can’t fight enemy tanks on horseback.
You need your own tanks.
And leaders.
We can’t, Scott – too many bad guys!!!

Open-Source Project ‘Linux’ Blocks University Of Minnesota For Submitting Knowingly Broken Patches…
https://www.weaselzippers.us/468231-open-source-project-linux-blocks-university-of-minnesota-for-submitting-knowingly-broken-patches/
So, why did I post this? Good question. Because UMN is a severely liberal school and their response was that the developers were “being defamatory” and the usual liberal garbage.
Linux bans University of Minnesota for sending buggy patches in the name of research [Update]
Sayan Sen · Apr 21, 2021 09:26 EDT · HOT!
https://www.neowin.net/news/linux-bans-university-of-minnesota-for-sending-buggy-patches-in-the-name-of-research/
Whole thing is raising my side-eye at FOSS by orders of magnitude. Bottom line is that SUSPICION allowed them to catch it the second time – NOT the first. I’d say that the researchers proved their point to me, ethically or not.
Compared to what?
Well, here is what I think NOW. The big picture.
The insecurity spectrum of FOSS is different from that of unfree proprietary software. I don’t particularly care if it’s currently better or worse – whatever difference there is, is most likely historically transitory depending on where we are in technology. Ironically, however, that FIGHT itself has been a beautiful attack vector, because it makes the reflexive defenders of either side emotional and manipulable. Both sides have been cornered into defending their strengths in a way that preserves weaknesses which can be made to disappear.
Software itself has been socially hacked at a very high level. I know that sounds preposterous, but so did all the other red pills.
So rather than spell it out, I’m going to leave this hanging. If people on both sides look at this diligently, they will see what I mean.
What STRENGTHS does FOSS brag up? What weaknesses would be necessitated by those strengths? What ADVANTAGES does an adversary who understands this have in the problem? How does that adversary make the WEAKNESSES disappear?
The exact same thing is MIRRORED for unfree hidden-source software.
If people think about this, they will UNDERSTAND the risks.
I am CERTAIN that others did this math a LONG time ago.
FOSS is infinitely configurable — you can change the source and recompile. That means there are infinite ways you can misconfigure it.
In this case, the jokers at the U of Minn were deliberately seeding bad code into, essentially, the “kernel suggestions” bucket. Specifically, Aditya Pakki. Mind you, there are some smart people who have put quite clever things into that bucket that were actively discussed for weeks before the guy went, “ummmm, never mind.”
Some even got through the first level or two of screening (e.g. “What exactly, is this supposed to do? Does it compile?”) and were in “Stable” trees — fully tracked through Git.
When it comes time for a kernel to actually change, subject master experts look at the available suggestions to see which sorts of changes should be made, and which (if any) available suggestion is the best way to make the change — and then REAL scrutiny of the code begins, with profiling, fuzzing, deep analysis, and possibly rewriting the code in a different language. None of the UMN prats had gotten that far. A typical kernel release has about 1500 people with about 12,500 accepted changes merged.
It should be noted that support for Intel’s “Software Guard eXtensions” (SGX) was finally merged into kernel 5.11….after being considered for 40 previous releases and not making it.
This is all avidly monitored by people like Jon Masters (Linux Format “Kernel Watch”) and Zack Brown (Linux Pro “Zack’s Kernel News”). And, BTW, a lot of these guys know each other.
So I’m pretty relaxed about the security of the Linux kernel. FOSS, in general? It varies greatly. Some of this stuff is just older than dirt and is similar to the GRAS list at the FDA. Much of it is sufficiently granular that “going off the reservation” would be noticed quickly. OTOH, Would I run a Russian binary using sudo because they claimed (in Russian) to be FOSS?

For all the faggots telling Americans that we are doing nothing because we don’t grab our guns and storm the Capitol (surrounded by Military) you don’t understand how America works. We are a peaceful people.
Maybe your 3rd world shithole only knows violence, but in America, we use our VOICES to fight off tyranny, so there’s no need for your 3rd world shithole, low IQ violence here. (which is why #antifa is anti-American)
This lady is only one of THOUSANDS of parents fighting daily for her child’s rights from overbearing school boards. They will eventually give in to people like her, because humans naturally avoid conflict!

“For all the faggots telling Americans that we are doing nothing because we don’t grab our guns and storm the Capitol (surrounded by Military) you don’t understand how America works.”
___________
Maybe they understand humanity, and the human condition, better than we do, because we have been sheltered from the reality we now face, but which much of the world faces regularly.
It’s at least worth considering.
.
“We are a peaceful people.”
___________
Isn’t every slave peaceful, until they desire freedom more than tyranny?
.
“Maybe your 3rd world shithole only knows violence, but in America, we use our VOICES to fight off tyranny, so there’s no need for your 3rd world shithole, low IQ violence here.”
____________
How’s that workin’ out for us?
I mean, you’re talking a big game there Swampy, but in case you haven’t looked around, we’re gettin’ our asses kicked, pal… 😂🤣😂
.
“(which is why #antifa is anti-American)”
____________
Panti-fa is a professional (paid) paramilitary group, financed (paid) and trained.
They may be ‘anti-American’ in the sense that they oppose you and me, but the fact is, they’re here, and they have more rights than we do at present, because what we used to call the Law only holds us accountable, not them.
.
“This lady is only one of THOUSANDS of parents fighting daily for her child’s rights from overbearing school boards.”
___________
And the school board people don’t care. They’re corrupt, they’re ideologues, they HATE regular Americans, they ENJOY our suffering. It’s a power trip for them, and they’re getting paid to enjoy it.
.
“They will eventually give in to people like her, because humans naturally avoid conflict!”
___________
Not in a thousand million millennia, Swampy. Even wishful thinking would be embarrassed by that statement and laugh out loud.
You think the Empire is going to give in to Moms, because Darth Vader naturally avoids conflict?
They are PAID to make you suffer, and the kind of people who take those jobs LOVE what they do. They get OFF on the power trip.
It’s not conflict for them, they’re in charge.
It’s watching you grovel, and they LOVE that.
Oh My!
.
satire ?
No. I think it’s true.
Think of the cognitive dissonance this is causing in liberals. A tranny republican.
IDK, some of the ones I know would be more likely to snigger.
LOL…He’s got the automatic can’t-criticize-me-I’m-a-protected-tranny card…that would be pure entertainment
Has she declared MAGA or not…. I haven’t heard her claiming MAGA…
and faux biden didnt win
Not sure. He was always conservative until being forced to toe the line to be accepted by the alphabet group.
Not just that but I really dont want someone who thinks you can change your sex or the Kardashians in govt as a conservative.
I just can’t vote for someone who is mentally ill. I pray that some other well-known, good MAGA conservative runs. What a choice: mentally ill Tranny vs SATAN Gruesome.
Oddly..I would vote Jenner in a heartbeat (if he is the opponent) to get rid of Gruesome . Getting rid of him would be fantastic and the extra slap to his evil aunt..priceless
Guess I would have to as well. We have to get rid of Gruesome!! I just pray someone better runs and that the vote isn’t split.
Agree !
Right? Im more inclined to vote for Grenell.
If memory serves, the last time a governor got recalled, there were so many people on the ballot to replace him that the vote split a zillion ways, and a celebrity (Ahnuld) got the job.
MAGA Mom’s anecdote about the older woman with a period is confirmed here. This is somewhat terrifying so don’t listen until you are prayed up.

This is very frightening. My dil who is a picture of health and has already had a very healthy pregnancy just miscarried an she is unvaccinated. However, she works closely around many who are. This has been heartbreaking. I am in contact right now with my sister who is in the medical field asking her if she has noticed an uptick in miscarriages and irregular menses reports.
Yes it is. This is apocalyptic stuff.
I have to believe that the globalists have an antidote though, because otherwise they would be at risk too.
grandmaintexas
One suspects that the DeepState / Davos globalists have an antidote — to be available, and/or supplied, to “approved” groups of people.
Yes. They will go straight to an everlasting hell if they don’t repent.
I’ve come to that conclusion as well.
I’ve always thought it was strange that no really prominent Dems got the virus as compared to the many R’s. Not for one second do I think it was because they followed the FauXi rules because there was plenty of examples that exposed them when they weren’t doing it.
Maybe I’m spacing out Dem cases but there’s so many very elderly and they breezed right through
Hmm.
I was looking forward to going back to choir, but I would probably be the only one vax free. Granted the women are pretty much all through the change, but still.
Especially if there is truth to the “shedding” from those vaccinated.
Here’s another bad, horrific apparent outcome
Horrific is right.
😒
I couldn’t find it again but I’d seen another platelet involved side effect
I saw this elsewhere and nearly rage-quit the internet for the day.
It is so hard, isn’t it? I have borne about all I can. When its innocent little children with no choice in the matter, it is so much worse.
Pregnant mothers making the choice to play Russian roulette with vaccines when the life of their child is at stake makes it even worse.
The entire thing has been a horrible psy op. A virus that is not deadly to most, children rarely get it, it could be treated with inexpensive meds but ‘they’ needed to scare the world and lock it down………….and now this vax .
Add to that some pressure on physicians to follow the ruse or be vilified
Want to hear something else crazy with this same family? The grandmother of this baby is my aunt. The parents (it’s her son and DIL) refused to let her near the baby or ever hold the baby if she wasn’t also vaxxed. She just had her second jab last Monday. Unbelievable.
OMG. My cousin and her husband, both 30 year old Physician Assistants, just had their first baby. She contracted COVID while pregnant based on a positive PCR test but mostly without symptoms. Her OBGYN convinced her she still needed to get the jabs which she did in her last trimester. She had the baby at 39 weeks, he was much smaller than expected and didn’t urinate, breast feed, have a bowel movement or maintain body temperature for his first 24 hours after a normal vaginal delivery. There was considerable worry but he did make a turn around. She’s breast feeding and he appears to be thriving and he’s now 5 weeks old. Many in the family have been very concerned that she took the vaccine during pregnancy and now this information is all the more terrifying.
I’m sorry that the info is so alarming. I hate reading these things too. It’s unconscionable that this many things are happening and they refuse to put a moratorium on it .
Hoping all the very best health to the new baby
That doctor is psychotic to have recommended that.
It’s social psychosis. The woman on the podcast is saying TURN OFF THE TV, and that is exactly how to be sensible about this.
That’s why the Amish say they don’t get the CCP virus – they don’t watch TV.
Vaccination is a cult like religion in the medical field.
Very true.
That is truly horrific and scary.
The silver lining to it — if it can be said to have one — is that babies can survive all sorts of things and get to “thriving” and they become perfect infants, toddlers, kids, and teens. It’s likely that the baby will suffer insignificant lasting effects compared with the psychological scars carried by the parents.
And that OBGYN needs to get out of the medical profession.
I pray for the silver lining. Unfortunately we’ll only have knowledge of harm in hindsight. The one fear I have is intentional infertility. What a great ruse for depopulation. Get rid of the elderly and make conception impossible for the young. EVIL
Evil on the level of divine intervention incoming.
We need divine intervention on a world wide level.
Mistrial. RIGHT. F’N. THERE.
So in other words, the law didn’t matter, the facts didn’t matter, it was all about the juror and what the juror wanted.
“I did not want to go through rioting and destruction again…” (then why were you on the jury?) and
“I was concerned about people coming to my house if they were not happy with the verdict.”
Then WHY were you on the jury?
Is it because you were too stupid to anticipate the obvious, or is it because you decided to convict this man, before you were chosen as a juror, regardless of the truth, in order to prevent rioting?

Statement from President Trump on the Maricopa County audit.
“Great Country”. BOOM. Ch-Ch-Ch-Chyyyynnnnaaaa’s little meme war over “great nation” right there.
CHINA DID THIS.
I am a cautiously optimistic supporter of Sec Pompeo for now
“Distrust but verify” was his motto with China … new twist to an old policy
another interview I just watched and thought I would share
A little bit of a ground report:
My sister and a HS classmate of hers had drinks last night and visited a bit. This woman, of late, has made her living promoting bands and live entertainment. She’s been financially devastated this year. Just awful. BUT, what it did do was wake her a little. She’s now in the “Democrat Party left me” phase of living. She’s not full MAGA, nor did she vote for Trump, but she didn’t vote for Biden, either.
And…at one grocery store here, the “out” door is now back to in and out. The place is no longer one way. And another chain is allowing reusable bags into the stores.
Not sure where that is pointing, but I told the plumber today don’t worry about the mask in our house. We won’t tell. He was like, “These things are a pain.” Yes, they are.
That’s a good ground report DP…
Big urban highrise, traffic noise. You get used to it, don’t notice it after a while.
I didn’t pay attention to the sound of silence. For more than a year.
But lately I’m waking up to the T roaring at regular intervals. Cars way down there somewhere –
That’s good, right?
Silence is noticed in the city, TBH. Well, here anyway where we can hear air traffic, trains, the light rail system, sirens, and more other than the interstates.
The more noise the better from an economic standpoint.
Ground report in Florida. We don’t bother to wear masks entering or exiting restaurants and any stores that say masks are recommended. No one include the staff give us a second glance or say a word. It’s finally starting to feel like most people are fed up and want to go back to normal. Either that or they are all feeling smugly vaccine confident and think that everyone is vaxxed so they are safe.

The [CB] is trying to push people away from all other types of currency, this will fail. It has begun, the AZ audit is underway. The [DS] is now making moves to stop the audit, they are panicking. What are they so afraid of, the TRUTH. Once the audit is complete this will be a D5 avalanche. Buckle up it’s going to get bumpy.

What the elitists have been using “when receiving the death vax”.
https://t.me/StormIsUponUsJM/253
What’s very interesting is that these demo people can be “lied to” if they are not shifty enough to keep the secret. Multiple levels of lies are possible. Ingenious.
I can’t exactly believe that several manufacturers would deliberately manufacture toxic poison on purpose but I sometimes wonder if the “warp speed” campaign wasn’t supposed to damage Trump. The fix was in for Biden to steal but they had the gut punch loss with Clinton so maybe they weren’t 100% sure the steal would work??
Do you have any niggles about the vaccines possibly maybe meant to be a huge problem?
I don’t know about Wolf, but it sure has occurred to me!
!! It’s fairly tin foil ish but suppose Trump had officially won (which he did)…so the MAGA folks are often suspicious about any mandates but in the euphoria of his 2nd term..would a ton of us stuck our arm out simply because it was Trump approved ??
On the other hand…Trump pushing vaccines would immediately cause a lot of leftards to say No way. In fact I swear Kamala said that at one point.
The whole thing flipped when the Steal happened..they had to keep up the charade and their brainwashed scared sycophants demanded vax right now!
Yup – Kamala was a raving anti-vaxxer for a while – BECAUSE TRUMP. Now THAT is stupid, IMO. So she IS dangerously stupid AND evil.
And YES – all the Branch Covidians wanted their shots! The Bidenoids (Bidenistas + Bidnazis) had to go along with it. Trump cornered them that way by PUSHING THROUGH THE AMBUSH POINT, as Cthulhu likes to say.
Now – about the vaccines. A bit of a wandering wondering. I’m asking a lot of questions. I have very in-between answers.
We have to distinguish POTENTIAL danger from KNOWN danger with these vaccines – and both of THOSE from the KNOWN risks of the disease.
We are in a spot right now where I think it is safer to say that the vaccines are not likely to be individually dangerous on a high level if used SENSIBLY and by the RIGHT people. The numbers on adverse effects are simply not that bad – even when being given to all the WRONG people, too, which is what’s happening right now.
I know DOZENS of people who have gotten the shots – I ALWAYS ask for details. Nobody I know outside nursing homes has had bad reactions more than a mild headache or tiredness for an evening, and most have NOTHING. The vaccine CLEARLY has a better track record than the disease. Go back to Trump. The cure can’t be worse than the disease. Well, from what we KNOW – not suspect – not worry about – but from what we KNOW, it’s simply NOT worse than the disease.
Yes – some people are being devastated – even DYING – from the vaccines. And they are (IMO) NOT the same people who would have died from the disease, if all of those people had gotten the disease instead. Which is a sad thing. But it’s real.
However, the NUMBERS are not enough to say don’t vaccinate those who want it, IMO.
I believe in choice. We have a nice choice – thanks to Trump.
But it would be a BETTER CHOICE if the CDC didn’t LIE, and if we knew more about both the disease and the vaccines.
We on the side of making the Faucians acknowledge that there ARE side effects and that there ARE risks and that there IS reason for some people to not take the vaccine – we have to not get tunnel vision or telescopic near-sight on this. We have to look MORE SENSIBLE THAN FAUCI. And we CAN – easily.
Most of the potential BIG dangers of the vaccines are global and societal-level, NOT individual. The big dangers include the possibility of driving “escape to virulence” with changing vaccines. Likewise, there is some possibility that a larger fraction of people just getting natural immunity is a better way to fight the disease as a whole. But individually? Well, the vaccine should be “yes” for some and “no” for others, but we are letting the industry and the Fauciites try to push the damn things onto EVERYBODY – even onto people with contraindications!
The other thing is the question of how permanent a fixture this disease is going to be. I’d say we don’t really know yet, but we need to find out honestly. Rand Paul is important there.
Complicated business!
And the DEMS will try to weaponize it ANY WAY THEY CAN.
Denninger has on-point commentary —
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=242150
Thank you – this is GREAT STUFF!
Emerging science says that the spike protein alone is likely pathogenic and causes those events. Indeed that specific pathogenic behavior is likely why Covid-19 kills virtually everyone who succumbs. We did not know that in March and April of 2020; we simply took the spike configuration offered from the Chinese and presumed that without the “N” component of the virus it was harmless in the body. We had exactly zero evidence for that belief. The science is now emerging, which I remind you always takes time, that this was ruinously wrong; the spike alone causes coagulation disorders and obviously, in the blood vessels, that can lead directly to strokes and heart attacks along with severe organ damage leading directly to death.
Now – here is the deal.
I think somebody KNEW this before – that the spike protein was CONTRACEPTIVE – that the spike protein was ANTIPROGESTOGENIC – that the spike protein was REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION PROMOTING for its own mRNA to DNA to GENOME.
….and is similar to snakebite. I knew you’d like it.
Imagine trying to sell vaccines that make SNAKE VENOM PROTEINS in your cells.
One had better HOPE that Bill Haast’s experiments WORKED.
There’s a serpent in the garden again.
YUP. BACK AGAIN.
Love this. THIS is the Trump White House getting JUSTICE.
An alternative to Lawfare – we can play the same game – BOOM!!!
We call ours “Lawfairness.”
Since the side topic is gardening today … planting another round of seeds today.
Lots of variety of bell peppers. No green bells as those are so easy to buy at farmer’s markets and the store.
Some packages have paper clips because we rarely use an entire package of seeds in one season for most vegetables other than root vegetables. 3 of each kind of bells is plenty so we plant 3 seeds in 2 pots or 2 seeds in 3 pots (depending on the plant) and we will have at least 3-4 viable plants and at least 2-3 that survive transplanting and grow. Often we have even more make it and I just hate to pull up and throw out any of the little seedlings because I am always so excited to see them grow.
We have a few we started about 2 weeks ago, a large (for our small garden) number started today and will start a few for mid summer planting in about a month. Same with cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplant.
Tomato varieties for this year. We have not had much success with tomatoes so we tend not to plant very many.
Nice.
We have a more varieties of summer squash but these two are the 2 on the unusual and unique side. I particularly like the variety on left as it is mild but with a nice flavor and is delicious raw. I slice them in 1/8-1/4 rounds, spread with a dressing or mayo, and then add a slice of cheese and several slices of sliced meat like ham and serve as a light summer “sandwich”
All of our cucumbers are slightly to very unusual. Again, we use our garden as a way to not just have homegrown and healthy but also variety.
The lemon cucumbers are really good but, after the first year of growing them, we only grown 1 plant for each wave of cucumber planting because one must skin them and skining them takes so much time since they are round + have ridges. But really fun to have something so different and fun to add unusual veggies when we share at peak harvest.
For whatever reason, I LOVE growing green beans.
Growing green beans doesn’t make economic sense as we can buy a very large bag of organic frozen green beans at costco for $7. It takes so much work to prep the ground, plant, water, provide fencing (or other plants) for the beans to grow and then to harvest, snap off the ends, wash, cook & or can. No way all of that is only worth $7!
However, I Really enjoy them! I think part of it is that since they are vines and since they are small veggies I can actually take care of them and I can harvest them which I can’t do with many other veggies due to health issues.
I can plan, shop, order the seeds, keep the seeds organize, help plant the seeds inside and take care of them … and then I can’t do much after that except walk by them and be excited to watch them grow. But the green beans I can help pick. IDK …
Also, they grow so fast! Plus, we have grown some Really fun varieties – red, purple, rattlesnake, yardlongs, etc.
Doesn’t make economic sense but I get a real kick out of them! These are what we are growing this year. We will plant green beans in about 3 weeks. They are one of the very few things that we direct plant outside. We will plant a 2nd round in about 2nd/3rd week of July
I hate green beans, but I love turtle beans, cow peas, pinto beans and so on, so I grow those. For some reason they are not doing well this year. Probably because I put them in a new bed. Soil not as good as older beds.
I don’t really like to eat them … but for whatever reason I love to grow them!
And we eat them alot as they are an easy green veg to through in the pressure cooker with chicken. Probably eat them 3x a week so it is nice to have some variety of green beans.
I like green beans and so do my dogs 🙂
our dog won’t eat them unless they have been cooked in broth.
I just moved fennel seedlings into larger pots. In a few weeks they will go out to the garden. I have several tomato varieties. A few in the garden and some seedlings.
Just planted 2 varieties of fennel tonight. We start almost Everything inside except root veggies, green beans, some peas, greens and some flower, esp. sunflowers. We even start winter squash inside.
Reasons are:
– that it is much easier for me to work little pots on a table in the living room, keep them damp and baby them along than I can if they are in the ground.
– the plants get a head start over when the weather would allow to start them outside
– the plants are get past the baby stage before they are exposed to possible pests
Yes. We do the same. The only seeds I have planted straight in the ground have been cosmos and poppies. These flowers do well straight in the ground. I have to have the pretty stuff, too.
Giant sunflowers are such a thrill for me … they are beautiful, amazing, birds love them and they are so reward since they grow so fast!
Last year, I combined our sunflower garden with green beans. edged that patch with dill, marigolds and nasturtiums to protect from critters. I stared the dill and some marigolds and masturtiums inside and then planted a few more of each from seeds when planting the sunflowers and greenbeans.
so much fun to watch it all grow.
Son surprised me for my bday last year with that garden patch. He had prepped in secret. for mother’s day son and H planted it for me.
Picture on L shows the green beans growing on the sunflowers and the picture on the R shows how big they are (son’s face blotted out … I am not that bad of a photographer! ha)
Nice looking property, there!
Overall, happy with it for the reasons we bought.
pros/cons though
-gravel driveway on a steep hill becomes a creek bed in the erain and needs constant upkeep so expensive. we watch dump truck after dump truck loads of gravel just wash away and the creekbed, i mean driveway, now is in awful shape.
An expense we didn’t anticipate due to ignorance of country living, hills and gravel driveways
-bought the property in winter time. all trees look dead in winter time. who would think to ask if the trees are actually alive? spring came and the trees didn’t spring into new growth. ~5 acres of ash … ash bore … more dead trees every year and now several hundred dead trees that need to be cleared. H works full time and son not old enough to do it on his own + he needs to school v. work property all the time.
Lesson? ASK! don’t assume anything!
-fixer upper … still more fixer than upper … so I just choose to enjoy what I like and overlook the ongoing, forever construction decor and s l o w “progress”
LOVE being in the country and LOVE having a view. As long as I am looking out and not looking in I feel like I am on vacation! 🙂 Life lesson there too! Choose what we focus on
Contact your local Ag office for suggestions and resources. See if you can get some of these bad boys — https://www.aphis.usda.gov/publications/plant_health/faq_eab_biocontrol.pdf .
See if there’s a lumber mill that can safely process your dead trees — ash can be beautiful (my custom kitchen’s in ash), and I’d suspect the beetle does not appreciate being kiln-dried.
To start seeds inside we invested in two folding tables, a tarp, a bunch of pots and saucers and we set up in front of our big living room windows in Feb (early March. We use foil on the tables to help reflect the heat back on the plants. No light set ups and other fancy things we saw online. We needed something we could afford … first year most expensive but after than we just buy seeds and potting soil. We seed save and don’t use all of the seeds that we buy every year so we have more variety every year.
If its particularly cold we put a space heater under the table to help. Also, I water with warm water to help keep the seeds, soil and seedlings warm.
This is about 3 weeks ago …
Good job 🙂
Now, the winter squash are about 18+ inches. It has been So warm we planted outside this past weekend … and then the weather turned cold … of course! We had at least 20 winter squash plants outside and didn’t want to loose them.
In the past (yes I tend to get to eager!) we have put mason jars over the plants to make mini green houses to protect them and then tarps over the whole thing that evening. Didn’t work to well as the mason jars fell over and broke plants.
This time, my husband got the mason jars (at this point in the year we have plenty of empties as we have been eating our canned food) but instead of putting them over the plants (and this year they are too big for that strategy anyway) he put the jars upright next to the plants and filled them with water. The sun gave the water some heat and then the water kept its warmth enough through the night to help the plants through. We also put tarps over this garden after sunset. It seems to have worked as we think we only lost a couple of plants. And now the weather will surely stay warm enough that we are in the clear.
Son wanted to make fires along the garden with tarps over them to keep in the smoke and sit out all night watching the fires. We are too old to sit up all night so we went with the water bottles … warm water bottles are more appropriate for our age! ha
Big reason that we start our winter squash so early inside is to get a big headstart on squash bugs. HATE those things. They have come in the house every fall and this year we still have them which does not bode well becaue they must still be outside too. They devour the squash, often right when they are almot ready to harvest. Hate those things!!!! We have had success in slowing them down through the summer but by 1st – 2nd week of August they overwhelm us and our squash plants. Our biggest success is to start so early we have harvested before they are really bad.
2nd plantings help overcome bugs too. By the time the summer squash is finished the late August and Sept plants are doing well and we are getting some more produce until the cold gets the plants. We had some squash, eggplant, bell pepers and tomatoes until mid Oct last year all from plants put outside in late July/early August.
Sharing in case helpful to anyone else.
I’m reasonably sure that something eats squash bugs.

A Bit of Humour Found on Facebook
Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science.
The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks.
Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact.
A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years.
It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration.
This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass.
When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

LOL
There’s another version of that in the business world (well, at least within the aerospace industry, which gets contaminated by governmentthink a lot) called administratium!
Oh Boy.🙄
Newsome is an idiot or useful Chinese tool
Embrace the awesome power of “AND”!!
Next, he might as well ban agriculture.
It’s come close to that when they refuse to let the central valley have enough water.
He essentially did. The price of gas, diesel will sky rocket.
Five of the twelve best oil fields in the US are in California.
I didnt know that. We used to have an awful lot of best things. So much citrus, dairy, nuts, strawberries, oil, gold. Now its rotten and we’re paying unreal taxes for this guy’s benefit.
The world’s largest trees (Sequoias), the world’s tallest trees (Redwoods), the world’s oldest trees (Bristlecone Pine), the world’s largest animals (blue whales), the tallest mountain in the lower 48 (Mt. Whitney), the lowest point in North America (Badwater Basin in Death Valley — only 85 miles from Mt. Whitney), highest surface temperature in world (Furnace Creek, Death Valley, 201 degrees – great day for frying eggs in a pan on the ground).
California is a land of extremes. And now, we get extreme misgovernance.
Beautiful and sad.
Apparently not for much longer.
Oh, they’ll still be there.
Yes. But not pumping if the guv has his way.
