No media coverage?
Why?
The same people who control the media are the same people who are part of the evil and corrupt system?
SYSTEM OF CONTROL.
Crimes against Humanity.
You are not meant to think for yourself.
You are not meant to challenge their power [control].
Obey and accept.
Illusion of Democracy.
Illusion of Freedom.
Why does the media push division?
Why does the media incite violence?
Why does the media pit race v race?
Why does the media pit religion v religion?
Why does the media pit sex v sex?
Why does the media pit class v class?
Divided you are weak.
Divided you fight each other.
Divided you pose no threat to their system of control.
UNITY IS STRENGTH.
UNITY IS POWER.
UNITY IS HUMANITY.
Controlled media plays a major role in shaping the narrative(s) to keep you powerless [helpless] and asleep [unaware of truth].
ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
ENEMY OF HUMANITY.
Q
And that system of control is working overtime to be sure that any alternative viewpoints are shut down as soon as they are presented. Sundance has a piece on that.
Former Intel Officials Want Efforts to Break Up Big Tech Stopped – Data Control and Retention of Social Media Partnership Is a National Security Imperative
Former Obama era intelligence officials, those who helped construct, organize and assemble the public-private partnership between intelligence data networks and supported social media companies, have written a letter to congress warning that any effort to break up Big Tech (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google, Microsoft, etc.) would be catastrophic for the national security system they have created.
Citing the information control mechanisms they assembled, vis-a-vis the ability of social media networks to control and approve what is available for the public to read and review, the intelligence officials declare that any effort to break up the private side of the intel/tech partnership will only result in less ability of the intelligence apparatus to control public opinion.
They willfully admit that open and uncensored information is adverse to the interests of the intelligence state and therefore too dangerous to permit. They specifically argue, if the modern system created by the partnership between the U.S. government and Big Tech is not retained, the national security of the United States is compromised. Let that sink in for a moment.
The entire piece is worth a read, and SHOCKER, the letter was actually signed by Admiral Mike Rogers.
So, the question of who is wearing what color hat or is a mole in one operation or the other is still on the table.
That makes Elon Musk’s moves even more intriguing.
Elon Musk, whom multiple outlets have called “the real Tony Stark,” is maneuvering to take over one of the biggest tech companies in the world — no small task. Undeterred by the board’s rejection of his first offer of $43 billion to purchase Twitter, Musk now appears to be moving to “plan B.”
According to The Daily Wire, Musk, the world’s richest man, “slightly shifted his strategy in his attempt to buy out Twitter and take the company private.”
The New York Post reports that Musk, who offered to buy Twitter on April 14, is now seeking to finance the takeover plan “in a complex deal that raises debt against both the company and possibly his own stock, as well as a giant cash equity infusion from co-investors.”
This plan differs from the plan detailed in an SEC filing last week, which stated he was “offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced.”
Sources reportedly told the New York Post that Musk was now planning to increase his original $3.4 billion investment in Twitter stock to up to $15 billion in order to take the company private.
He’s busy exposing the public/private partnership involving the Intelligence Community surveilling all of us all day every day for the totalitarian move it is.
And he’s serious about it, too.
One not so surprising piece of news:
CNN+ will shut down April 30, just one month after launch
Poor Chrissy Wallace, swamp guardian, chose poorly.
After a jubilant week in the friendly skies, White House spokeswhore Jen Psaki tried to get the people to ignore evidence of euphoria.
Speaking to reporters at the White House Wednesday, Press Secretary Jen Psaki mocked Americans who joyfully took off their masks earlier this week after a federal judge struck down the Centers for Disease Control mandate.
Psaki claimed “just one” plane full of passengers reacted positively to the news. There are dozens of videos showing relieved passengers freeing their faces, with thousands of flight reactions that went undocumented.
Which is why Twitter was loaded with videos of cheering passengers earlier in the week.
Reminds one of medical personnel at abortion clinics when exorcism prayers are read outside. They scream and throw tantrums just like demons about to be sent back to where they came from.
From Babylon Bee:
10 Changes DeSantis Has Ordered For Disney World
Florida legislature has revoked Disney’s self-governing status which means that some bold new changes are on the way. Disneyland in California will remain a popular site for human trafficking but the Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL is going to experience a dramatic overhaul.
Take a look at these exciting changes on the way:
1) The Hall of Presidents will just have 46 animatronic Donald Trumps: They are the greatest robots, maybe ever. Everyone says so.
2) Chip and Dale will now reside in separate trees: We can’t let our children be corrupted by cartoon characters having too close of a relationship.
3) Avatar land will be turned into an IP someone actually cares about like Krull: Wield a sentient weapon and save the world!
4) Only the original Star Wars trilogy may be spoken of: The prequel trilogy is too perfect to corrupt with human speech.
5) The only country featured in Epcot will be AMERICA: America is like a highlight reel of all the best countries anyway.
6) All Disney princesses to be replaced with Melania Trump: Finally, real diversity!
7) Weird Disney adults who come without kids will be banned: Yessss!!!
8) Human trafficking is strongly discouraged: And no more kids on leashes, you weirdos!
9) It’s A Small World attraction to be dismantled by tactical nuke: The area will be sealed off for thirty years.
10) Johnny Depp’s character will no longer wear eye shadow on the Pirates ride: Will also incorporate ex-wife Amber Heard in a redesigned auction scene.
You don’t say.

From the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Chapter 5:
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him. [2] And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying: [3] Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [4] Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. [5] Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
[3] “The poor in spirit”: That is, the humble; and they whose spirit is not set upon riches.
[6] Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. [7] Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. [8] Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. [9] Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God. [10] Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
[11] Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: [12] Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. [13] You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city seated on a mountain cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all that are in the house.
[16] So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. [17] Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. [18] For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. [19] He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. [20] For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
That’s not from today’s readings, but it never goes out of style.

Have a great weekend.
Note for the record – this one was still an unscheduled draft, but it was “good enough for rock and roll”, so out it went! Enjoy!
We might get two posts?!?!? Whee!!!
Hold yer hormones, boy.
And here I thought this was a family level forum.
Families are founded upon appreciation.
I had to make one adjustment.
Hope springs eternal…..
Thanks!
A fourth way of getting things out of draft….
[publish, schedule (and the scheduler works), late scheduled punter, and Wolf]
Exactly!
It’s Friday already? Dang.
Apparently it is. Yeah, it came quickly this week, probably since Easter Monday was a day off, making it more like a second Sunday. Chances are next week will feel noticeably longer; on the other hand, I have plenty of things to do at work, so there will be much use for whatever time is available.
OK, one of a group of “sets”. Identify the set and name the missing members.
Niblick. Cleek. Mashie. Spoon.
They are roughly equivalent to
Woods
1 — Play Club
2 (or 3) — Brassie
4 — Wooden Cleek
5 — Spoon
7 — Baffy
Irons
1 (or 2) — Cleek
2 — Mid Iron
3 — Mid Mashie
4 — Mashie Iron
5 — Mashie
6 — Spade Mashie
7 — Mashie Niblick
8 — Pitching Niblick
9 — Niblick
Chipper — Jigger — short shaft but not a lot of loft, used for chip shots.
Putter — Putting Cleek
Have no idea WTH that is all about. Fee OK about this reality.
Well I think a mashie is a golf club, but I have no idea about the rest 🤷♀️
Also, an update on Sylvia – she had cataract surgery on her second eye yesterday and came through both surgeries like a trooper. Her eyesight is much improved in first eye, and we’re expecting same report about her second one. Be forewarned, her shovel swinging just went to a whole new level of accuracy!!
Great news. Thank you!
Edit. Slow guy should have picked up on Niblick. Lived on a street called Niblick. Had Googled Niblick back then.
Yes, mashie an iron club of sorts.
That is great news!
And here I was, thinking Sleepy, Creepy, and Hunter…
Those two would be fighting over the title of Mashie for sure!

@Doorlesscarp953 That second pic (attached) is a shocker.
The left column (first vaccine shot) is explainable with the antibody-antigen complex, I believe.
But the right column for second doses…? Wow. When it wears off? Not good.
But the worst part of it is the the worseness gets worse (haha) as you scroll down – the initial spike and then the secondary bump (before you get to the third, major spike) are worse for hospitalisation than infection and EVEN WORSE for death than hospitalisation.
That immediate death spike right after second dose is just as big as the second bump. That’s horrible. And looking at it as a CFR is even worse – almost 3.33% (=5/150) against the major spike of 0.47% (=7/1500).
That second shot is deadly, and that’s only looking at COVID. All the non-COVID complications would come after that third, major spike drops away…
##########
Observe how this shows up in the bar graph in the lower left. Every vaccination makes people more likely to get a positive diagnosis for the disease, once the initial “help” wears off.
The vaccines are MEDICALLY ADDICTIVE.
And every shot of the “vaccine” after the initial injection, adds to and likely accelerates the damage / destruction of the person’s natural immune system — thus literally creating more vulnerability to ANY virus / increasing of (or kicking off predisposition to) autoimmune conditions / engendering more “variants.” As intended.
This is aside from the adverse events / deaths / insults to the natural immune system, from just ONE shot of the “vaccine.”

Destroying the Illusion Group
Unnatural things don’t happen naturally.
An enemy has done this.
Fifteen farkin’ years!
Past time for each one of these Gardens of Evil to be picketed every day. And use whatever tech is available to identify the parents abusing these children in order to report them for child abuse.
There are no scientific or medical bases for ANYTHING these ghouls are doing to children.
AMEN!!!
When you drill down just a little, you know it is sin that causes this. You know that it is rebellion from God by every participant in activities such as these. Running from the Lord instead of to Him.
The further the people move away from being God centered, the worse this type stuff becomes. Until the hammer drops…
There is no fear of God any longer.
Because the Elite and the WEFfenSS have “made theirselves god”…
But they will meet GOD one day. And be humbled, and cast down, for eternity.
When people think they happened by accident, i.e. “evolved”, they neither have a need for GOD, a fear of GOD, nor a respect for GOD and HIS CREATION. Thereby they have made themselves god.
Romans 1:18-32: spells it out:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
And I Timothy 4:1-4ff which seems to describe the Greens:
4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
And II Timothy 3:1-7 Iin particular verse 7):
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Can’t complain about us treating each other as animals when we think all we are is just another animal…
Love it thank you . You full of wisdom and knowledge…. 🙂
Thanks… I’m just looking at what’s happened to Germany and how the Greens are hell-bent on destroying anything and everything despite having come in a distant THIRD in the elections (14% versus 25% and 26% for the CDU/CSU and SPD, respectively)…
Seems the alterhative press here isn’t alternative where Ukraine is concerned… there is ENORMOUS pressure to preserve the EU policy… or, rather, the WEF policy… which ties back to Romans 1:21ff…
The greens have been a problem for many years as I remember. Also socialists are deep embedded.
One can just wonder how the Christian Democrats have fallen just as the church. The best time in Germany as I see it where faith was revived and ethics and common sense was in Germany was after WWII and 20 years after. As soon as new wealth was formed corruption began socialists reared their ugly head and churches lost their way. Media began to be corrupted Bild at the time was the worse. Germany has changed. The younger Germans are a strange bunch I like the older one they have a kind heart. At least most as I remember.
Sick.
I promised Marica I’d share this link when I was “done”…

Mom & Dad at their wedding in 1962
& here in 2022 with their first (direct descendant) great-grandchild, Charlotte, my youngest brother’s 1st grandchild!
It’s going to be a very busy weekend (some details at that blog above) so I likely won’t be online much. Hope all Maricans & Q-Treepers have wonderful weekends.
Hopefully next week there will be a good report to share…so many things are happening in my family. ❤
In Jesus’ Love
Valerie
Have a great weekend!!!
Thanks, you too. It’s shaping up to be one for the (family) record books!
Beautiful pictures of The March Through The Ages. Life brings love; love brings life.
So very profoundly true. My youthful dad looks a lot like my youngest brother & his only son. The more seasoned version looks more like my younger brother, but his only son looks different, having gotten the dreaded balding gene from his mom’s side 😉 My only daughter & I have some similarities to my mom’s features but not the way my nephew Isaiah looks like that young Bill 🙂
Beautiful – thanks for sharing Valerie!
YW 💑
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful photos and memories.
💖
The radiance of Hope Faith and Joy is expressed so well in that wedding Pic Valeri.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for those encouraging words. The love & joy go on!

Barack Hussein Obama gave a speech yesterday (4/21/22) at Stanford University in which he stated in part (article excerpt):
“Obama prefaced his proposed solutions to online disinformation by calling himself a “First Amendment absolutist,” adding he believes “in most instances the answer to bad speech is good speech.” He nonetheless asserted that the First Amendment “doesn’t apply to private companies like Facebook or Twitter, any more than it applies to editorial decisions made by The New York Times or Fox News” and that such companies had the authority to regulate their content.”

Obama has been doing this kind of freedom stomping a long while.
This meme has a quote from a Barack Obama speech that is distilled from the one he gave at Ohio State University in 2013.
Here’s the excerpt from Obama’s 2013 speech in its full context, and from which the meme is based:
“PRESIDENT OBAMA: Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They’ll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can’t be trusted.”

When Durham drops his Hammer of Justice on the Cabal, I predict he will name every dirtbag as an unindicted co-conspirator if their celebrity would preclude conviction.
Change my mind.
Comey is a dirtbag, and I predict he will never be named at all! Nobody on the inside will be touched, IMO.
Law firms, tech execs, and researchers. And as you say, dirtbags like Cankles will be unindicted coconspirators. Not sure about Obama. Bet he skates completely.
You failed to change my mind. Nice try, though. 😆
It was a pleasure! 😀
The fact that celebrity will preclude justice being served via convictions for committing crimes is a travesty in and of itself. Which makes the Durham investigation of same an expected miscarriage of justice.
When serving our once great nation as AG, B2 said in a TV interview that not everybody deserves to go to jail when found to have committed crimes and wrong-doing (summarizing his statement as I recall it). The interview’s discussion centered around Comey and his merry band of treasonous idiots. Losing one’s job, power and/or pension was penalty enough in his book. Since he is a card carrying member of the Luciferian swamp and was involved in oversight of Durham’s “investigation”, I think we all know where this is likely to go.
Change my mind…
I think we all know where this is likely to go.
“Two tier justice”, IS A REALITY.
The powerful protect, each other. NOT the little guy.
The two tier system is the worse I have seen in a so called free society.
This one finds mostley in communist countries or dictatorship. Our judicial system has been infiltrated like thieves in the night robbing us of freedom and equality under the law.
^^^ Truth. ^^^
Not sure I could change your mind, but I remain hopeful that there is one last courageous Jedi out there willing to actually pursue justice in America. At least, my inner Yoda prays it is so.
“In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.” ~ Yoda
AMEN!!!
I’m bringing this over from Marica’s….
At one point, Daughn told me that she could arrange a blogster’s rate. If you’re looking for a place to stay near Memphis, this would be a great time to help bootstrap Daughn’s operation — and, with inflation and all, this will likely be a bargain compared to next year.
That’s great! Please keep us informed on this. She’s over the border in Mississippi – correct?
Just one thing – the “episode with Big T” – did he have a rough time with COVID? Hope he’s OK, whatever it was!
Daughn is in Mississippi, within reach of Memphis. She was running on her blog and went into radio silence — my info is from her later posting at Marica’s. I’m not exactly sure as to “episode with Big T” — there’s been a lot going on everywhere.
I rejoice that her BnB can be wheezing and creaking back into operation. It sounded lovely (before the plandemic) but travel has been el screwedamundo since then. When I land in the Triad, I especially want to make a connection with her as a source of decorative stone (which is sort of amusing as my intended landing point is quite near a quarry).
I will be continuing to keep track of Daughn as I am able, but anyone actually staying at her BnB will have better info.
..just a thought ,..it would be pretty cool if you could schedule a couple of day stay at her place on your way East.
I think it would break up the drive nicely, a half way point of sorts, ..
..and give you a taste of the ‘downhome South’.
Hit the road Jack ! 😆
I had initially considered something like that, but if I’m driving a U-Haul, I believe they give you nine days to load, drive, and unload. Considering that I’m not a road warrior like Kalbo, it might take me six days to drive.
Likely you have considered all of the following. But if not, a few thoughts that may be worth pondering.
U-Haul (slow, uncomfortable…) six days IS what I’d plan. Have done U-Haul Interstate move. Gas hogs. Gets the job done.
Have used Pods. Very convenient.
Maybe look at LTL (Less Than truckload) trailer use. ABF I know has programs for household moves. Leave the trailer at your place. You load. ABF picks up and hauls to your destination. You unload. Much like Pods.
I’m using something very similar to Pods — 1-800-PackRat. Happen to be HQ’d in NC, so have very good delivery coverage — and one can fit on my driveway. City of Santa Clara wants something like $60/week to park on street.
I’d anticipated that I would drive a load with personal photos, data drives, family heirlooms, etc. and tow my car, and PackRat everything else. Part of the issue is that my car can’t go via car carrier because it leaks, and I don’t want to pay Silicon Valley prices to fix the leak — I figure I can put it the shop at NC prices once I get there.
There is the possibility that I might palletize my personal goodies and ship them separately, in which case I’d drive the car, but would really need to be making arrangements in NC soonest.
“Just one thing – the “episode with Big T” – did he have a rough time with COVID?”
Big T had a medical emergency that was not related to COVID around that time, so she may be referring to that.
Come to think of it, if Big T had been vaccinated against COVID, his medical emergency may have been related to a bad reaction to it.
Indeed!
I thought I read that they both were shot up, but don’t quote me on that. I haven’t been over to Marica’s in a while.
Thanks!!!
I updated the list of food processing plant fires to include food banks/pantries. Additionally, Kalbokalbs mentioned in the previous thread that Tucker is now covering this story (link). (Apologies for the double post. I meant to post this in the 4/22 thread rather than the 4/21 thread).
4/21 – Plane crash into a General Mills plant in Georgia.
4/18 – Azure Standard organic food plant burns down
4/15 – Fire at largest soybean processing plant in US
4/13 – Plane crashes into potato processing plant in Idaho.
4/13 – Taylor Farms plant in Salinas burns down.
4/13 – Pet food plant in Pennsylvania has a minor fire.
4/11 – Slaughterhouse in New Hampshire burns down.
3/31 – Rio Fresh onion processing plant in Texas burns down.
3/28 – Maricopa County Food Bank burns down. 50,000 lbs. of food destroyed.
3/24 – Potato processing plant in Maine burns down.

7/31/21 – Large food bank warehouse in Bakersfield, CA burns down.
6/22/21 – Silver Stage Food Pantry in Nevada burns down.
5/22/21 – Des Moines area food pantry burns down.
Thanks! I think there is a definite FEARMONGERING “active measures” going on. IMO it’s a combination of media promotion and actual instigation / crime.
I don’t know so much about the media promotion. I order from Azure, and so far, there is not much online about it at all. One mainstream story, and all the rest is from us “conspiracy theorists.”
We’re easily excitable to influence ourselves, and “they” like it that way. It’s when we’re excited in ways they didn’t intend, and can’t control, that they get nervous!!!
More info about the fire from Azure Standard, just above in response to Sadie.
So, because I am a customer, I just received an “update” from Azure Standard on the fire investigation, which is now concluded. You can read it here:
The Fire Marshal has concluded that the fire started in a tote of rolled corn, which was “temporarily being stored” in a cooler at the facility. It “apparently” spontaneously combusted, which actually IS possible. Keep in mind that the type of tote they are talking about can hold 1000 lbs. of grain or more.
However, what better way to unobtrusively burn the place down than with some sort of completely combustible device planted in a tote of corn? Why was it “temporarily” there in the first place? I can tell you that the theory that corn dust coming into contact with an outlet to start the fire (their second theory) is complete bullshit. I used to work in a feed mill, and that place would have gone up 1000 times if corn dust and electrical outlets in the same area was a problem. SPARKS around corn dust CAN cause explosions.
This whole thing raises lots of questions, for me.
Valid question for sure.
Fastest Fire Marshall investigation and conclusion ever.. just sayin…. 😉
I know, right? That was my thought. A huge building burns to the ground, and we know how in three days? Baloney.
Wow !!!
LOL. Mask mandates are so unpopular now that even a deep Blue city like Philadelphia can’t maintain one for an entire week.

The WHO’s plan to develop a global health system to track your vaccination status
https://rumble.com/v11uqo0-the-whos-plan-to-develop-a-global-health-system-to-track-your-vaccination-s.html
Truly diabolical.
That will not work well… I’ve been getting reports that thrice-jabbed normies are in the process of waking up and finding their long-hidden won’t-power. As in they won’t get further jabs. They have had enough with the side effects of the previous ones.
If SD is right, and the main and most censorious social media outlets FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are actually government/deep state operations – owned and operated by the cabal, then Elon Musk is biting off more than his measly 300+ billion can handle.
As SD once said ‘Trillions are at stake’
Either Elon Musk is planning to partner with the deep state – or – the cabal will try to destroy him and it won’t be pretty.
Unless EM is a truly white hat and can partner with other white hat billionaires and can destroy the cabal first….if he even wants to do so….
Devolution, Q, Wictor, the line that Trump is really in charge, is still President and has the nuke football on a submarine…. these are high grade hopium….
The empty DC, body double, flat earth, lizard people garbage spewers are intentional falsehoods – are vain imaginings, attempts to deceive and discredit good patriotic Americans – just like January 6 and Charlottesville.
I am no longer expecting a dramatic white hat, white horse rescuer – except for JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS.
And what the Bible says about the end times isn’t flowery meadows, bluebirds and butterflies. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God….” – I Tim 3:1-4
If that is correct – we are going to need each other and a WWG1WGA attitude, more than any time in history.
If my doubting the latest hope of rescue of our nation, whose highest court and congress and half its citizens were/are OK with the murder of 60 million unborn infants, the practice of perversi0n and the trafficking of drugs, p0rn, human beings, makes anyone angry, so be it. Our leaders have created laws that enable us to break all of GOD’s Commandments and some that would force us to do so.
Sodom and Gomorrah pale beside our current Western Civilization.
Don’t pray for a rescue – Pray for Revival and Return to GOD!
The lizard people and little green men, yes, are deliberate disinformation to make it seem like the rest is crazy. But it isn’t. It’s actually provable if we humans are willing to take a look and study the situation.
I believe this is more of a chastisement than end times. There is hope. But we humans have to do our part.
Musk is too big a player and too unafraid for the other side to do much more than whine about him. The big issue is that he’s creating a parallel system that will expose the malice of theirs and they can’t have that. They are panicking.
I hope Devolution is real and there are sufficient powerful white hats….meanwhile Øbastid – and the communist black muslim supremacist cabal are importing vast hordes of fighting males with ISIS mindsets.
IMO the difference between “devolution the reality” and “devolution the clickbait psy-op” is analogous to the difference between “globalization” (a reality) and “globalism” (a salable fantasy).
Starting at the latter first. Globalization is simply a reality of a growing world on a finite planet. It’s inescapable. Even if you are resisting the technological and chronological filling of the globe, you are resisting THE THING – globalization.
Globalism is offered by elites of shrinking relevance, as a phony construct solution – the idea that central planners are more and more needed because of globalization, when in fact the exact opposite may be true – that globalization creates a popular intelligence which central planners cannot keep up with, and needs to TRUST, as they ADAPT TO IT, rather than fighting it and diverting it.
Hmmmm. TRUST. In something “greater”. Sounds like something I heard before. 😉
Similarly, devolution the REALITY is the net effect of our peaceful rebellion against increasingly stupid and evil central planning. It is a NATURAL STRATEGY that arises from our turning away from central planners whose self-serving forced strategies fail.
Devolution the reality may even be people’s strategy, just like strategies of globalization will try to progress by harnessing globalization itself.
But what about devolution the clickbait psy-op? It’s plausibly coming from either side, and deniable from either side. Selling devolution as a morale booster and patience builder is just as tenable as selling devolution as a distraction and pacifier.
I’m not sold either way on the origin of the psy-op, just like the Q psy-op. All I want is a NET GAIN FOR Truth, Justice, and the American Way as the long-term outcome.
I’m seeing progress for our side, but part of that progress is exposing more and more bad stuff, which is scary and looks a lot like losing.
I’m OK with that. We have to face the Truth.
Amen, my brother. We are the white hats. It’s up to us, not some Lone Ranger riding in to the rescue. Us, in concert with the Lord of all.
End Times or time of severe trials – don’t know. But do know the only answer that matters is the return to God as you state. A meaningful rescue that lasts can only come from the Revival.
“He makes His sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and unjust.”
Matthew 5:45
The evil cannot see and understand the good if we do not show it to them. If they willingly turn from it they deceive and condemn themselves as the sun rises and sets and the rain falls.
Thank you, Tradebait – I’m a sister, not a brother….except in the category of ‘mankind’… 🙂
I stand corrected, sister. Thank you for telling me. Now I know how to pray for you and yours.
Aha! We have another biologist on this blog. 😆

I wonder how many MSNBC-watchers freaked out to know the lockdowns were a control ploy. Fauci is desperate to admit that.
I wonder how many MSNBC-watchers realize the entire Covidiot story line IS a scam. The injections are NOT safe AND NOT effective.
My guess, few IF any.
As of today – 4/22/22 – there have been 942 Athlete Cardiac Arrests, Serious Issues, 621 Dead, After COVID Shot
https://goodsciencing.com/covid/athletes-suffer-cardiac-arrest-die-after-covid-shot/
And this – 15 Tennis Players dropped out at the Miami Open:
Hmmm, is Yours Truly correct in saying that 621 deaths out of 942 cases looks like just under a 65% death rate from the “vaccine”?
Well, not exactly. There would be a 65% death rate among athletes who experienced an “adverse event.”
In order to have a death rate for athletes “getting the vaccine,” we would have to know the total number of athletes who were vaccinated worldwide.
However, the fifteen who dropped out of the players list I found would constitute approximately 10% of the 156 listed here:
https://www.miamiopen.com/tournament/players/
So 10% of players in the Miami Open were unable to continue because of health problems which we know are due to the the clot-shot.
Unbelievable.
Especially when considering the survival rate for that age group in the face ot COVID is said to be 99.9931% ….
Exactly.
Aubergine
Thank you so much! I neglected to clarify that this death rate only pertained to the 942 reported “events” among athletes. However, it is disconcerting, to say the least.
You;re welcome!
And if the 10% number holds across the spectrum, that is a LOT of athletes who will not be participating in their sports anymore.
I’m glad you posted about it, which made me go look. A 10% rate of injury for a population of the most healthy people on the planet is terrifying.
Yikes!
Pics show a big place with plenty of stuff…
“65 Arsenal – a storage base for artillery and rocket ammunition of the Central Rocket and Artillery Directorate of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Amazing history of the arsenal. It was built in 1918 in Balakleya to supply the Red Army. Our army was supplied with ammunition from here during the Second World War. After the collapse of the USSR, the arsenal was handed over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And it became the largest BC warehouse in the country.
Since 2014, the arsenal has been supplying cannon and rocket artillery shells to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass. These shells killed people who live in the DPR and LPR.
Now the Russian Army has taken the arsenal”
https://t.me/intelslava/26322
Also…
“The largest arsenals of Ukraine in Balakliya have been captured by Russian forces”
https://t.me/intelslava/26349
Those ammo bunkers appear to be in excellent condition, well organized and well stocked with NEW ordnance..
Captured INTACT. Captured INTACT. Captured INTACT. W T F ?
Ukrainian forces to IGNORANT or INEPT to destroy, ordnance & facility prior to capture.
Ukraine ought to surrender.
I think the WHOLE THING is theater.
Yes. The degree of theater is my question.
Interesting how they call various war sites “theatres”…
Makes me wonder anymore…
NO DISRESPECT meant to those who fought, toiled, and died in those wars: only those, e.g. the WEFfenSS who profited…
It is an interesting word choice, isn’t it?
Probably related to the use of “theater” in phrases like “operating theater” (surgery).
Yes, it probably is.
Theatres, cuz that where events are playing out. 
Then I want my money back 😀
The popcorn tastes like cardboard, the Nacho cheese is runny, and they forgot both the carbonation and cola syrup in the drinks 😮 😡
Can’t help ya get your money back. But there IS a solution. 🙂
That is my recollection. Crappy popcorn, soda… Have not been in a theater for several years.
Gave up theaters 2018 or so. Doing so was a natural follow on to “cutting the cable” ~2012.
I’ll add this here.

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
BE MY VOICE
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.
Unvaccinated Australians now permitted to leave the country (but Government won’t tell them) « JoNova (joannenova.com.au)
Don’t know where I would go – find a freedom loving country somewhere if it still exists. But I would be packed and gone from that place.
Absolutely, getting out of Australia would be an imperative for me. But, WHERE TO?
Unvaccinated status IS likely STOPPING their ENTRY into another country. Yea that IS my GUESS.
Have only looked at two countries travel wise.
My BET is, the WHO AND CDC have brainwashed most all governments to require visitors be injected.
If nothing else, it is a tit-for-tat situation. Country A requires all visitors beinjected.

It’s ALL USG smoke AND mirrors at this point, to me.
Other than obscene dollar figures and generalities of what will be provided Ukraine, we know nothing concrete.
We have NO idea what has been delivered to Ukraine. We deserve to have a line item list of what items and in what quantities HAVE BEEN delivered to Ukraine. What is scheduled and when. Have we seen reported video of US arms being delivered to Ukraine units? Employed by Ukraine units?
What IS the status of the “Ukraine military”. Numbers, general location, types of units…
Ukraine, A MASSIVE LOOK SQUIRREL effort. The ~14 Billion for Ukraine is purely a slush fund to enrich politicians and USG officials.
Don’t focus on:
pResident.Bastards.
Somebody in Ukraine wants a Trump deal, because they know Brandon is not dealing in their interests.
IMO.
Because it is an upside down world that the brain dreary leftoids live in.

https://thelibertydaily.com/leaked-audio-reveals-rino-kevin-mccarthy-wanted-donald-trump-to-resign-after-january-6-protest/
Maddow is the one releasing the info and her aim obviously is to divide (Great, divide away! MAGA already knows he’s a snake). Still very bad look for McCarthy. Likely source of material is McCarthy’s room mate the pollster guy?
According to Steve and Boris on Warroom, sounds like Lizard Chaney released the tape. Scalise was also supposedly on the call, and he wouldn’t do it.
I wonder what her reason for releasing it was, because IMO this only helps us to know who the snakes are so we can deal with them.
Def someone who wants to hurt McCarthy. She swears it wasn’t her, but he he kicked her off her committees, so she has an ax to grind. Dems got it from the contractors.
Trump speaker looking necessary. Nice timing.
Kevin McCarthy speaks with a forked tongue. He’s listening to the voice of his ‘father’ with the forked tail.

Ukraine – Gonzalo Lira, War Aims, Railway Supplies and Incoming Fire
1. Gonzalo Lira is alive
Lira had been arrested on April 15 by the SBU, the Ukrainian Gestapo, but is now at some private place in Kharkov under a kind of house arrest. He is not allowed to leave the city. It seems that the public attention the case had caught has helped to hold back the nastier side of the Ukrainian authorities. Last night Alex Christoforou of The Duran published a short video talk with Gonzalo Lira (vid).
2. Russia’s war aims
In a talk at a defense industry meeting Major General Rustam Minnekaev, Deputy Commander of the Central Military District, named areas of Ukraine which Russia wants to secure (machine translation):

The Bounds of Science
Hello Friday, my old friend
It’s good to see you here again
Because a sickness softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains, outside the bounds of science
Against their schemes, I walked alone
Although the doctors should have known
The dreadful words from the CDC camp
They all contained their lying stamp
That spun the tale of a fearsome blight
That caused a fright, and broke the bounds of science
And in this deadly scheme I saw
Millions of people, maybe more
People hearing without seeking
People dying without speaking
People obeying those, the ones that never cared
And no one dared, deny what’s crowned by science
“Fools,” said I, “You do not know
This science like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
A death knell, and vanished in the pools of science
So the people bowed and prayed
To that specious god they made
Though the signs flashed out their warnings
In the words that they were forming
And the signs said, “The words of the doctors written on CDC walls,
And FDA halls, they break the bounds of science”
Excellent !
Great to see your style back in print Bako!
I think we’ve all missed it.
Hope you are recovering well. 😃
A little light will be shed on recovery by the CT scans I’ll be taking in a few weeks. We’ll see.
EXCELLENT! Thanks!
Beaiful poem and full of wisdom and truth.
Thank you for sharing your gifts.

I paid enough this year for several roads…..
^^^ A feature of CA government.
Yep. First time ever having to pay.
Bumpy roads,
Take me home….
(fellow looks like our next-door neighbor..)…
Seems like every time they repave (or slurry-seal, anymore) the streets here, maybe a week or two later some utility needs to dig up and then patch the street to install something that someone forgot about (or didn’t bother “registering”). Of course the patches are not even with the rest of the street….
OTOH, it’s been so long since our street has been repaved that Murphy and the utilities have given up, and are busy elsewhere… 🙂
I know that around here, the city will NEVER pave over utility excavations when they are patched.
Because if they do, and THEN the pavement under the utility patch sinks (because, say, the soil wasn’t compacted properly by the utility company), THEY are stuck with the cost to fix it. In other words, he who paved last is responsible for anything wrong done by anyone before that.
Yep. Eventually somebody has to pave the piper…
Or, perhaps, he who paves last, paves best…
“Tactical avoidance” (for lack of a better term) seems to be the way anymore… Probably has its roots in pro sports of the 1970s with the various stalling maneuvers and “taking a knee” long before Kr@pernick defamed the gridiron…
Same thing in basketball, too…
The rule for postal delivery is that every time they park and leave their vehicle, they must turn their wheels into the curb, so that their truck doesn’t roll downhill out of control. Mind you, our neighborhood is flat as a pancake.
So, when they slurry-sealed our neighborhood a couple of years ago, there are twist markers in the road where the mail truck stopped while it dried.

Maybe the problem is that giving companies special breaks isn’t exactly Constitutional.
Governments have realized that it is easier to do what they want and let public opinion or the courts scold them if they have to reverse course. It is not like they are taking any economic risk if they are challenged. It reminds me of a social strategy that my pastor once revealed to me. “It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.” In my experience that pretty much describes the governments of most countries and jurisdictions.
In business, not only is that saying true – it also seems easier to GIVE forgiveness than permission. Many people in business will avoid like crazy the granting or denial of permission, and instead “study” something until it goes away – if ASKED.
Otherwise, they wait for “permissionless success” to sign on – or a screw-up failure to “grant forgiveness”.
That often plays out in the “use it or lose it” budgeting/purchasing madness in the fourth quarter at some companies… BOFH would be envious of things that showed up in IT-land before year-end…
Have always wondered about the legality of special breaks, tailored perks to a specific entity.
Could be a “bribe” of sorts to get a company to open a manufacturing plant, store, headquarters, sports team.
How is any of this fair to businesses paying “full “freight, taxes, etc. (Rhetorical)
Great thoughts! Funny that we’re now asking this stuff, long after the UniParty sold it to us as “great”!
Funny (not) how the left is all up in arms now in defense of Disney and the removal of their special privileges and tax breaks, etc., yet years ago they were vociferously complaining that Disney was getting special favors to the detriment of everyone else….
Both in Kalifornistan and Florida Disney engaged in skulduggery to obtain land and benefits via dummy corporations and secret (or obfuscated) deals. The “Magic Kingdom” was more or less using Black Magick to reach their goals.
Public/private grifting partnerships… Though just like a lot of things, Disney started off good, and drifted to the dark side… Maybe the people that like to work at “fantasy” parks tend to be the “squishy” types that go for kids… have to wonder, though, why other parks don’t seem to have the same problems… or do they?
Very good question.
Disney was going after land 8n anaheim and STILL using anythi g to buy up all the surrounding property…and demanding city rax breaks as little as 2 yrs ago.
Right? More rhan a special break…they are like their own fiefdom
Who called it retaliation or retribution for speech? Any FL Government official? Or did she latch onto the Dem narrative? We need to reject the Dem narrative every time and reframe it.
The state of FL believes in fairness and equality for ALL companies doing business in our state. For many years we have discussed removing Disney’s ‘special privilege’ because it gives them an unfair advantage over others. Now that we have the Legislative majority, we were able to right that wrong. All laws, taxes, rules, regs, etc. will now be applied equally to all FL businesses. #NoMoreDisneyPrivilege
I found her on GETTR and tried to correct her. Doubt she’ll read, but I feel better.😎
Good for you.
The truth is, Disney CAN’T sue for special privileges. That’s ridiculous. Disney was granted rights in Florida that could legally be revoked by the state at any time. And they were. Good luck suing to force Florida to give back what they didn’t have to give in the first place.
Jenna Ellis is dumb as a box of rocks. I have never been impressed with her, and I am less so now.
Trump has a soft spot for pretty blonds, in my opinion.
LOL!
Seriously, Kayleigh McEnany, Jenna Ellis, and Tiffany Trump – there’s just some odd similarity which defies words. I think “soft spot” is exactly what it is.
Agreed.
Although I think Kayleigh is actually brilliant. But maybe Trump just lucked-up with her.
Def a soft spot for lookers all around.
At least some of them are smart, like Melania.

Hmm. The oligarchy who birthed, fed, clothed, protected, nurtured, loved, disciplined [oh, that word], comforted, and otherwise helped from birth onwards unthankful miscreants such as Ms. Madcow?
The “oligarchy” who did the same, no matter what, for the normal 98 percent, and seek and suffer to make the world a better place?
The “oligarchy” who are now suffering and paying for your lots’ mistakes, intentional or not?
Perhaps YOU, Ms. Madcow, are the one who is closed-minded (note the “d”), NOT your so-called oligarchs…
And all along I was thinking Saint Grating the Greenhearted was the first or worst of the impudent imps… Then again, Hitler, his ilk, and indeed the various Satanic movements all used young or even infant girls to publicize or ehance their appeal (and views)….

I think I’ve seen these two photos before and it turned out the lady on the left is not the mayor. It’s too close to bedtime to try and find sourcing for this memory but I did want to mention it.
Maybe that’s true. I’d seen it before too. Oh well, we can’t all be perfect.
Actually it’s only partially false. Evidently this is the actual image – minus the hair and make-up.

“The collective West could not abandon Russian oil.
His companies decided to secretly buy “black gold” through “leftist” schemes.
This is the conclusion reached by The Wall Street Journal, having studied the tanker routes.
And for this:
– small vessels marked “destination unknown” are used, oil from which is mixed on large tankers.
– “legal” Latvian and Turkmen mixtures are being purchased, almost half consisting of Russian oil.
▪️If the Russian oil in the “mix” is less than 50%, then it is no longer considered Russian
The total export of Russian “black gold” to the EU in April increased to 1.6 million barrels per day compared to 1.3 million in March.
Mix, but do not shake. And it’s legal.”

Could explain why some of the “peace conferences” were held in Turkey… (now THERE’S a pot that’s ready to boil… holding about three MILLION Moslem refauxgees)…
Good news is, we’re (according to Baerbock) expecting around EIGHT million (REAL) refugees from Ukraine… already a million here…
Fox earlier reported that a National Guard soldier drowned while trying to save an illegal alien. Now they say he is ‘missing’. The body they found was an illegal.
I really hope the soldier crawls out of the river alive somewhere. Poor guy.
Some more video inside that big arsenal…
“The Russian military occupied a huge arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Balakleya in the Kharkiv region.
Its hangars are filled with thousands of tons of ammunition for tanks, artillery and anti-aircraft missile systems.
Shells and mines were found from both Soviet stocks and Western production.
▪The military arsenal in Balaklei is the oldest and almost the largest ammunition depot in Europe.”
https://t.me/sputnik/2031
Interesting, odd as hell…
Parts of the bunker clean, ordnance storage neatly stacked, paperwork hanging on some stacks of ordnance, lined up IN grids for easy location, accounting, etc.
Another bunker trashed. Appears to be for retrograde, stuff to be returned for reuse, recycle, etc.

“…largest ammunition depot in Europe.”

REASONS WHY ATHLETES MAY BE MORE VULNERABLE TO POST-VACCINE, POST-COVID PROBLEMS:
The athletes fall under the most vulnerable categories – according to the Front Line Doctor’s information:
“TESTOSTERONE – STEROIDS – BALD MEN – HAIRY WOMEN
FLCCC FAQ page:
1. There are clear gender disparities in terms of COVID-19 severity:
– males with androgenic alopecia (hair loss, baldness) are at higher risk
– users of anabolic androgenic steroids for recreational purposes are at higher risk
– women with hyperandrogenic phenotypes (polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism…) present with greater symptoms of COVID-19
– children (pre-puberty) are notably protected against more severe COVID-19”

Comment at MoA:
I see the ghost drone has been a top secret development for years and specifically for Ukraine. I guess it is designed to distribute aerosols and cbw products deep into Russia from the supply chain in Ukraine. It must have successfuly passed trials last year.
These things do not jump into existence overnight as the US MIC needs a few years to bleed the peoples treasury in prototype development.
Following official European bans on using or displaying the letters Z and V in a manner that could be construed as supportive of Russia’s operation in Ukraine, Russian troops have begun drawing the entire English alphabet on their vehicles.

Disgusted IS an understatement.
Until TRUTH goes mainstream, NOTHING will get better. Specifically:
^^^ That is a start for OCONUS. Within the US, one only needs to read QTree, CTH and the like. The corruption AND evil in USG is IMMENSE AND GETTING WORSE.
PR, some days I don’t think I can be more disgusted with our govt and then another reveal shows me that I can..
Something like this makes us see the extreme possibilities of spook programs that could maybe chip humans to ‘do’ certain things.
There have been three “islands of light” or truth since Teddy Roosevelt, if not before. JFK, Ronald Reagan, and VSGPDJT. All of the rest were RINOs, DEMONRATS, or downright Satanists (cf. BeezleBubba and HELL-the-BEAST, aka Billary).
Various patriot sites (no matter what country) have said that Parallel Economies, Societies, Etc. need to form and grow for change to be effected…
What is so hard about that? The Moslems and Asians have been doing that for CENTURIES, planning DECADES and CENTURIES ahead; so, IT CAN BE DONE.
Without firing a shot.
Though I’ll take my Tequila with a salted rim and a bite of Lime, thanks…..
[Had a dorm-mate who was “spastic” to the point he had the nickname “Machine”, which he thought was hilarious (probably his idea, knowing him 🙂 ). One night the floor was doing “straight shots” and word is (I wasn’t there, sad to say) that he downed 17 or 18 of them. After that he walked in a straight line, no problem, until he keeled over with, erm, stomach problems. That could’ve killed him, but he (thank GOD) ended up OK. Ahh, Uni life… just thinking of 18 shots makes me virtually dry-heave… don’t know how he did it…]….
Mmm….
In the end, Nixon may be one who helped the shining points. He was an outsider who needed to be destroyed. Hard to believe, but from what I’m seeing and hearing, possible.
I tore up and threw away my Eagle Scout commendation letter from him. Looking back, I regret that, as I think he was framed. Made some poor choices, perhaps, but framed, nonetheless. Somewhere I have a tape recording of his resignation speech (but nothing on which to play it… reel-to-reel, 7 IPS, mono, if it’s not demagnetized in the meantime)…
I read somewhere the DEMONRATS used the Nixon frame/impeachment model as what they wanted to do to VSGPDJT. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Makes me think of people who’d go to recitals just to hear their classmates/competition screw up… Sickos… Can’t do better than them, so they try to sabotage them…
Poppy Bush framed him…

Also per Faux news, some people on the left are telling Disney they should raze DisneyWorld.
Awesome. If they did, it would be prime maga real estate.
The left believes money 💰 is like obama phones picked from the tree.
Disney has shut almost all its stores, it could shut the rest. They could also cut programming, sell abc, do all kinds of things to save money. They arent in a great public position atm to look even more petty.
Well, selfishly, I am looking for acreage at a great price.

Dewey Decimal Disaster: American Library Association Elects ‘Marxist Lesbian’ President
The American Library Association has elected City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center librarian and self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian” Emily Drabinski as its president for the 2022-23 term.
“I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is the president-elect of [the American Library Association],” Drabinski tweeted on April 13.
“I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity!” Drabinski added.

Does this mean that the schools will be switching to the Library of Congress system rather than Dewey?
It means shes going to find a whole new purpose for libraries entirely.
OMG. Tucker, right now, is doing an extended segment on Stacey Abrams’ (Selena Montgomery) romance novels. Beyond hideous. Tacky, tacky, tacky. When you search, it looks like the covers now say Stacey Abrams “writing as” Selena Montgomery. Here’s an example 😂 . . .

Thanks! I appreciate it!
This is gonna be a very important rally. Every Ohio pol is focused on it. Many of them will be there, and even the ones who will not be there are all talking about it. Every friggin’ entourage and group of volunteers is coming. My inbox is just overflowing with emails. Parking is said to be tight, and will overflow into the nearby neighborhoods.
They’re closing the doors before the speakers start. Basically doors open 2:00 and close at 3:30. I expect a lot of impressive speakers and guests. Things are gonna get shaken up in a good way, I’m betting.
The Ohio primary is big, and coming up fast.
SEATBELTS.

Cthulhu,
Looking at taking kiddo to Monterey aquarium and it looks like hearst castle has reopened after 2 yrs. Not sure besides cannery row or looking for otters what he might enjoy. I cant handle the drive all the way up the 1 bc of the time, esp w a kid. Maps are saying to take the 1 between cambria and Monterey but i thought it was closed? What about taking the 45 back to the 101?
There’s lots of places to stop along the ‘One’ route. Redwoods are something that can only be seen on the Coast Highway. IIRC, the break in Hwy 1 is/was south of Pfeiffer / Big Sur. Unless it’s recently gone down again, it was fixed years ago.
Want to go to Yosemite also but this is a short 3/4 days. Either coastal or camping.
So many great memories visiting, camping, hiking Yosemite. You prolly know, reservations to enter yosemite, camp, etc, vary by time of year. https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/permitsandreservations.htm
A couple thoughts that may fit this year, or another year…Eastern Sierra’s along US395. Wonderful small towns with friendly folks. Beautiful sites. Historic…
OK. I’m heading back to the cheap seats and will quiet down.
You told me about bodie once before so i know its a keeper. Mr gil had suggested mammoth but i dont think its my place. There are so many places in CA alone to visit. Missions are easy stops. Elephant seals, whales, sharks vistor centers. Steinbeck museum is on my list. If it was just me id hit a few wineries too…
Elephant seals have very specific seasons, probably documented at Ano Nuevo State Beach website. The only time you see males battling, females birthing pups, and general mayhem is late January/early February (see https://www.tripsavvy.com/ano-nuevo-state-park-elephant-seals-1475140 ).
Mammoth is in the Sierras. That’s a different trip.
Missions are interesting stops. There were 21 of them, and they currently may be anything from beautiful to wreckage. The Royal Road of California (El Camino Real) was sustained by the missions. Each was centered around a church run by the Franciscan Order to instruct and sustain Catholicism.
By contrast, there were four Presidios (forts) meant for military and administrative control of California. They were in San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, and were built adjacent to ports (not a road).
Monterey has whale-watching, and the Fiancee reports they were active when she visited. Again, these are seasonal according to the whales’ own calendars and should be researched before committing.
If you’re doing wineries, you’ll need a plan for drivers.
I don’t know of any shark visitor centers as such…..
Steinbeck is all over Monterey, but you’ll probably want to find a way to split your party so you can do that and others can do something else.
Ty for all that. Yes, that almost 3 different trips and the seasonal critters wont be passing through.
There are two types of redwoods. Coast redwoods are the world’s tallest tree and the best ones can be found along the Avenue of the Giants in southern Humboldt County (although you can find a whole lot of them in much more accessible places, they’re typically not “old growth” and not the very tallest. Sequoia (redwood) trees are the world’s largest tree and are found in the Sierras.

How many days are you budgeting for this expedition?
Well kennel for the dog is 40 a night. Hotels seem to be about 150 unless you want sketchy bums around. We are looking at at least 3 nights. You can kinda see its going to be a lot already.
So, leaving the dog at a kennel, which implies that you’re bringing Mr. Gil?
Do you already own camping gear?
What sorts of things does Mr. Gil like? What sorts of things do you like? What sorts of things does Gilkid like?
No matter what any of you like, you each need hats and sunblock.
In general, moving south to north in mid-California, there’s State Highway One on the cliffs above the beaches. Beautiful, but you get tired of it; SLOW; need to be in top form or go off a cliff. Next up, US Highway 101 — not fast, but not bad; multi-lane in most places; goes through a lot of entertaining places. After that, there’s Interstate 5, which is the fastest route — but there is basically NOTHING between Bakersfield and Sacramento. Finally, there’s Route 99. This is a major trucking route and moves well, but it’s on the floor of the Central Valley so there’s not much to see or do. I have done San Jose to Santa Clarita in 4-1/2 hours in my Nissan Sentra at about 2 AM on I-5. Parts of this were in excess of 100 mph, including one stretch where I passed a Porsche. As might be readily supposed, a woman was involved and I was fetching interview clothes.
Connections between these North/South routes are limited, and can put some formality in your route — if you are going between place A in the south and place B in the north, and want to visit nothing in-between, you may want to shift a roadway either way to increase speed.
Some camping gear but not all. Kiddo hasnt been real camping yet. Not crazy about that drive to Bakersfield and across. Youre right, nothing there. And drive up the 1 is too slow.
NOT Cthulhu. No idea what fun stuff in Monterey for kiddo. Cooth likely knows or another QTreeper.

Hearst Castle opening May 11?

Unsure exactly where you are. NOT asking.
Avoid LA area.
395N, 58W….through Tehachapi. Wonderful little town.
THEN, continue 58W, 99N, 198W, 101N…
Alternate would be 58W, 99N, 46W, 5N, 198W, 101N…
Ok i thought there was more damage. Goofle maps keeps saying take the 1.
Nonstop drive for me to monterey is 6.5 hrs at avg speed. Close to san diego. Whenever i go toward santa Barbara i go 10 to 210 to 134 to 101.
Hearst is taking reservations but i had trouble getting onto their system.
You may want to look into 10->210->118->23->101. The 134 is hellish at times, and can be worse.
Its been a long time since i drove that way. Will check.
You should check out what can be seen online for Hearst — e.g.
The drive up 1 (the coast road) is normally one lane each way, winds its way up a long chunk of coast, zigging in at every creek to get to a bridge, and — IIRC, took us about 15 hours from Santa Barbara to Half Moon Bay. One of the tough things about Hwy 1 is that, once started, there is NO WAY OFF for hours.
Fiancee was at MBA (Monterey Bay Aquarium) in early April and there was a lot boarded-up because of a YUGE new exhibit that opened April 9. You want to enjoy it on a non-weekend if possible. You need a reservation to get in, and you want to be in line at least 30 minutes prior to the official opening time. This implies that you may want to spend the previous night locally, and Fiancee can highly recommend the place she stayed (off Munras). I’ll get the name if things gel that way.
Id been seeing in reviews a lot of complaints on waiting to get in. Over 2 hrs with Reservations and in there like sardines. No weekend at all. Was thinking san simwon or cambria for 1 night, go to hearst then to monterey following day, sight see then next am the mba, then next day home.
We should start moving this discussion into the new day. My last post on this subject (besides this one) is 01:52.
