What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
Speaker Johnson: A Reminder.
January 6 tapes. A good start…but then nothing.
Were you just hoping we’d be distracted by the first set and not notice?
Are you THAT kind of “Republican”?
Are you Kevin McCarthy lite?
What are you waiting for?
I have a personal interest in this issue.
This Man is Pissed!
And if you aren’t…what the hell is wrong with you?
Is This Our Anthem?
Or at least our song to march to?
I’m sure most of you know I don’t believe in “devolution” or any variant of “we’re really still in charge” and certainly not the ones that come with “They’re waiting for everyone to wake up.”
No, I don’t think the good guys are in charge. But that makes it even more necessary that people wake up.
This might be the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of our age. (Or perhaps the recent trafficking movie was it. Or maybe both.)
Certainly there seem to be a huge number of people who are finally having the light bulb turning on when they hear this song.
Joining The Herd Of Lemmings
I’ve had cause to consider a few things. Maybe we’re going about it the wrong way, and we need to ditch Trump
Yeah, NO
Trump all the way! Why? Because being hated by the people who hate him is a sign of impeccable character, that’s why.
The haters can go fuck themselves with rusty twelve gauge bore brushes. I’d prefer ten gauge but that’s kind of scarce, so…I’m willing to compromise.
The RINO’s Dilemma
The RINOs who who have burrowed in and taken over most GOP organizations, from the state down to local organizations, have quite a dilemma on their hands, and most of them have their heads too far up their asses to realize it.
OK, I’m not talking about the liberal in a Republican area, who knows they’re in the wrong party, but is there because it’s the only game in their town; they hope to capture a nomination someday, at which point they’re guaranteed to be elected…otherwise, they never will be. These people are a hazard in any heavily conservative area.
No, I’m talking about the guys who are a little bit conservative and want to do some good by going into politics, and they’re in a closely matched area, closely enough that they can join the party they are most aligned with and still have a chance. They think the Democrats…particularly the ones who end up running for office…are nuts.
They don’t think much better of the Deplorable types, either. A bunch of bumpkins whose hearts are in the right place, mostly…OK a bit extreme. But they think Deplorables can’t understand that first you have to get elected, then work within the system to change things…a slow process. They genuinely want many of the things Deplorables want…just not as much. The government is spending too much. Or they need to spend money on highways instead of welfare for illegal immigrants. But they want to work within the system to get these things done.
Or maybe they think things are pretty close to ideal right now, and they want to nail it in place.
The problem is, that means they don’t stand for anything in particular. And it shows. They’re about as unappetizing to the electorate as a puddle of dog vomit. The folks in the middle, who they think they are appealing to because they themselves are not extreme, would honestly prefer a clear-spoken radical to someone who qualifies everything they say to the point where they sound like they don’t believe anything at all.
The problem these “Mild RINOs” have, is they just can’t see that. And the reason they just can’t see that, is their entire sense of self-worth is tied up in not seeing that. In their minds, they’ve worked tirelessly for their party, to keep those crazy Democrats out…only to have to constantly fight with a small number of crazy Republicans–who are only liabilities if they end up as candidates. They’ve fought the good fight, and if they can just find the right candidate, someone with some charisma, they might stop the crazies…without being too beholden to the OTHER crazies. In the meantime it’s not working. What’s a responsible guy in politics to do?
They simply cannot understand that the Republicans can’t succeed as the party of nothing in particular. Not really in the past, and certainly not today when people are starting to realize that no matter what they do in the voting booth, the country is still about to fly off a precipice. If they did see it, they’d suddenly have two choices: Go away and let the GOP succeed, or stay and fight. But “go away” isn’t really an option, because what’s the point of having a party now owned by the crazies, win?
Well, they have a dilemma…and WE, therefore have a problem. And we would have that problem even IF they realized that they had a problem…that they were the problem.
No one ever thinks they are the bad guy. Even Epstein probably thought he was the good guy. Right up to the moment where he didn’t kill himself.
So if you ever wonder why these unappetizing dufuses cling on even when their fingernails are being left behind…that’s why. They don’t understand no one wants them, and can’t imagine that no one should want them. And oftentimes their greatest pride is in all the hard work they’ve done for the party. They’re not going to give that up; it’d be psychological suicide.
If you’ve worked with these people, there’s a good chance you like them and consider some of them your friends. But even if so…we’re going to have to give them a good, hard shove. Because America is more important than those milquetoasts’ egos.
Justice Must Be Done
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Spot (i.e., paper) Prices
Last week:
Gold $2,072.00
Silver $25.52
Platinum $944.00
Palladium $1026.00
Rhodium $4,800.00
This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.
Gold $2,005.50
Silver $23.07
Platinum $927.00
Palladium $970.00
Rhodium $4,950.00
Gold went on a really wild ride this week. It broke through $2100 in early trading Monday, before closing down that day. It seemed to be settling in at $2,025 or so but today it took almost a $24 hit. That’s not unusual for Fridays. If you have a big enough position that you don’t get eaten alive on the spread (which for us mortals is a lot more than the dollar an ounce that Kitco indicates), you could probably make money just by selling gold early each Friday and then buying it back late in the day. Sometimes you’d lose, but usually you’d win.
Palladium continues its long term drop; while rhodium seems to have found a new level…quite a bit lower than $30K. Silver took a large hit (almost 10 percent) this week.
Another Voice On Rocketry and Orbits
A while ago I did a series on orbital mechanics. I just discovered this channel on YouTube where the difference between “in space” and “in orbit” are explained; why “zero g” or “freefall” or “microgravity” is not the same as “no gravity” and so on. His visuals make a lot of things I tried to get at, very clear.
His channel has a lot of other material, too, largely on current technology in rocketry. (I know he reminded me of a few things I had forgotten over the last 30 years.) Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the topic.

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

Tucker Carlson sat with Alex Jones for an hour-and-a-half to discuss his his career, his famous day of de-platforming, and The New World Order.
Tucker included timestamps for reference.
Oh, this is awesome!
incredibly informative.
Yay! No skimming on a Saturday daily. 🙂

One second thought, better take a couple extra mags.
It could be a long hunt 😂
Take video of the hunt for later sale.
Make money off of loud mouth know nothings.
…and the trans person feels “unsafe” as a result. To me, “unsafe” is when your life is being threatened or a severe storm is raging. I had not connected it to pronoun usage or the lack thereof. 🤔
The rest of it:
I think you de-humanized yourself, fool.
Get some therapy for your ‘issue’.

Most indestructable tranny – 2 speed Powerglide.
My First thoughht reading, “…Guy avoids using pronouns by calling a transgender co-worker “my esteemed colleague,…”
Have not played the moronic pronoun game. Will NOT. Sticking with guys and gals.
There are very strict protocol rules in Congress; you’ve heard them refer to each other as “The blah-blah-blah from Tennessee,” etc.
Rules of decorum (i.e., them putting on airs).
I know at my state legislature in a committee hearing a citizen commenting on a piece of legislation was gaveled into the dust because he started making accurate (but negative comments) about a Reprehensible who wasn’t even on the committee.
Yes. All of the decorum rules, are bullshit, in my way of thinking.
Unfortunately, those rules exist, to protect snowflake politicians from truth AND citizens NOT hearing truth.
Another one I have trouble with is having to rise when hizzonner enters the room. And for that matter having to address him/her as “Your honor” when so many of them fail to deserve such a designation.
YOUR HONOR sounds like a good “pronoun” to me. Especially to be adopted at the moment of a pronoun fight with a lying “she/her”.
I find the whole idea of having a distinction between an honorific and a title rather odd. Sometimes the two are the same (e.g., “doctor” or “professor”) where you address someone formally by his/her title, and then you have “judge” vs. “your honor.” It seems like it’s the government that has the flowery honorifics, and not just in the United States. Nor is it by any means a “monarchy” thing.
Demons REALLY want you to call them forth. Using their “preferred” name or pronoun affirms them.
Nobody sane calls someone a pronoun to their face. It’s not how the English language works. But a demon enjoys forcing people to affirm it.
Guys, I’m not kidding about this. It may sound crazy, but any work-around to avoid doing it is acceptable. Affirming the demons only makes them stronger.
I have known people who associate themselves with the occult, and this is a common practice with them.
That’s where the “say his name” cr@p came from….
Yep.
We do use pronouns to people’s faces in situations like these:
“Are you coming with us?”
I don’t know if this trans person wants to change the second person you/your pronouns.
At work, if someone asks if you know where the trans person is, and the trans person can hear this, you might say:
“He (or she) just went into the break room.”
This particular trans wants to force people to use the pronoun of their choice instead of the correct one. I think “My esteemed colleague went to the break room” works very well.
I think it works fine, too.
The “changing of the second person pronoun” is a crazy ask, not acceptable in the English language, either.
“Are he (she) (dipshit) coming with us?”
It makes no sense.
I think “it just went into the break room” makes the most sense in plain English!
If you purposely (or accidentally) use the “wrong” pronoun, you could well say “My (es)teeming colleague…..”…..
For indeed, they would be steaming 😆
(Yep, a steaming load of 💩 )…..
Lol!
That’s actually third person, and I think you found the right one (dipshit)
Well, yes, that’s what I did. I substituted for “you.”
If you look at the “pronoun shift” these people are asking for, it’s generally not a substitute for you, but for he/she.
So to call them what they want, it would be “are he/she/dipshit coming with us?” to their face. That’s the only time in actually English when you use a pronoun to address someone directly.
Couldn’t a case be made by the normie from his point of view being uncomfortable and unsafe working next to a potentially dangerous mental case tranny who’s easily triggered? Proof being recent tranny mass shooting attacks.
This post is a bit /s because I know normie feelings don’t count in the court of woke

Turn America into the Third World, so you can be the majority? Yeah, that’s a “tough request” that will not be granted without a fight. Asshole.
The Reckoning Begins…
“The consumer came out of the pandemic with a head of steam provided by handouts from Trump ($1,800 per adult), and Biden (also about $1,400 per adult) between April 2020 and March 2021.”
_________
The math on this never adds up, not even close, but the narrative is all that ever matters.
So… $3,200 per adult.
This was supposedly enough to “pay down credit card balances and build up savings”. Oh, and to LIVE on, for a year or more, while tyranny of covid shut down the economy of the whole planet for a year.
Let’s see how those numbers work out… “the average consumer” has $6,088 of credit card debt.
And the average monthly expenses in the U.S. are:
The average monthly expenses for a family of four range from $7,875 to $9,168 (depending on the ages of your kids).For single folks, the average monthly expenses are $4,337.For married couples with no kids, monthly expenses are $7,111So $7,875 + $9,168 = $17,043 ÷ 2 = $8,521 ave for a family of four, or $2,130 per person
Married couple: $7,111 ÷ 2 = $3,556
$2,130 + $3,556 + $4,337 = $10,023 ÷ 3 = $3,341 as a rough estimate average per person in the U.S., per month.
And between Trump and Biden, the adults only (and certainly not all of them) received a total of $3,200.
$3,200 ÷ 12 months = $267 per month, for 12 months.
But the average American requires $3,341 per month. Plus however much was needed to “pay down credit card balances” ($300/month?) and “build up savings” ($300/month?).
So if they were only paying $300/month on the credit cards, and only building up savings by $300/month, and they need $3,341 just to tread water on their living expenses, that’s $3,941 per month, or a total of $47,292 (after taxes) over 12 months.
That’s the bare minimum that was needed to survive and pay off a little credit card debt and build up a little savings.
And in order to accomplish this little economic fantasy narrative, the People received a total of $3,200… in two lump sums, between two different administrations.
I’m no math wizard, but my calculator does have fresh batteries, so I have that goin’ for me. Best case scenario, it seems like the People are coming up about $44,092 short.
People like Jim Rickards and Chevy Chase can find that much (or more) laying around the house in uncashed checks.
.
.
But I have a funny feeling that most regular people, can’t.
$3,200 doesn’t even cover ONE month, not even if zero is used to pay down credit cards or build up savings.
I’d like to see any of the people peddling this fantasy try to live on $267 per month.
Show us how it’s done, Jimmy.
scott467
Thank you.
And the “bare minimums” don’t begin to address things like the increased premiums on all types of insurance; increased taxes of all types; having an “emergency fund”; and so on.
Yeah, I have never understood how ANYONE believes the lie that the “stimulus” helped anything at all. That amount of money is a drop in almost any household budget I’ve ever seen.
Good math, good job.
just more funny money being injected into the economy. It’s a fairly large amount in total but spread very thinly, to the point where the individual receiving it wouldn’t benefit much. (Oh if one is frugal and eats staples, it might pay for a great deal of food. Actually, $3200 would be enough for *me* to eat for several months even at today’s prices and I’m not terribly frugal. I also didn’t get that money.)
But against typical rent or mortgage or car payment? Pifflesquit.
Rents were suspended. IIRC.
And car repos were very much the growth industry.
Never followed, but read headlines of rent suspended.
Were suspended rents cancelled out right? Feds paid the rent or renter ultimately paid (with or without Fed money).
Suspended AFAIK.
Well, yeah. It paid for some stuff. But unless you live in a tent, ride the bus, and have no utility bills at all, pifflesquit (great word!), is exactly right!
We were never 100% unemployed.
Most people had jobs or sources of income.
Missed the article mentioning Petro Dollar crashing. >>> Impact on metals.
Guessing the author has, financial interests in precious metals.
From above. Emphasis mine.
“…interest rate declines have much further to go (probably down to the level of 2% or lower over the next six months), which means gold prices have further to rise (perhaps to the $2,300 per ounce level or higher)….”
“…this is a once-in-a-decade opportunity for investors.”
“It really doesn’t get much better than that!”
Admittedly, IF I had cash, I’d buy land, buy metals, hold cash, or a combination.
“…interest rate declines have much further to go (probably down to the level of 2% or lower over the next six months), which means gold prices have further to rise (perhaps to the $2,300 per ounce level or higher)….”
________________
Gold is at $2,005/oz. If he predicts it could (‘perhaps’) go to $2,300/oz, that’s a little less than 15% increase from here.
The dollar is being debased at a rate of about 14% per year. So if gold manages to go up 15% we’re barely treading water.
If a 15% return is ‘perhaps’ in the cards, then we might want a faster horse to stay ahead of inflation / debasement of the currency.
This is the whole reason Michael Saylor (founder of MicroStrategy) invested his company’s treasury in Bitcoin. Holding cash was like holding a melting ice cube, losing 14% per year, compounded annually. At the time (2020, if I remember correctly), interest rates were practically zero, so he borrowed $1 billion (again, if I remember correctly) and invested it in Bitcoin, along with his own company’s cash holdings.
Since then, depending on market circumstances, he has issued corporate bonds to raise cash, sold additional shares of MSTR to raise cash, borrowed more money at low rates, whatever makes the most sense at the time, to buy more Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy now has over 174,000 Bitcoin, with over $2 billion in unrealized profit. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (ticker: GBTC) has over 600,000 Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto (the pseudonym of the supposedly anonymous inventor of Bitcoin) has 1 million Bitcoin that have never moved from his wallet since 2009.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin mined. 19 million have been mined so far, and the amount that can be mined is cut in half every four years, so the last Bitcoin won’t be mined for about 100 years from now. The vast majority that will ever be mined have already been mined, and are in circulation now.
It is estimated, based on known losses of large quantities and aggregate amounts of smaller quantities, that at least 4 million Bitcoin have been ‘lost’, meaning that of the 19 million mined so far, only 15 million still exist.
8 billion people in the world. 15 million Bitcoin. That works out to 0.001875 Bitcoin per person.
Except Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), Michael Saylor (MicroStrategy, MSTR) and Satoshi Nakamoto have 1,774,000 of the 15 million, and they’re not selling. So the actual available supply is closer to 13 million Bitcoin, at least until Michael Saylor buys another $600 million worth, like he did again last month.
Jim Rickards mentions a 14% rally in gold over the past eight weeks, and is predicting that gold will ‘perhaps’ be up 15% this coming year, making this a ‘once-in-a-decade opportunity for investors‘.
If 15% is a once-in-a-decade opportunity, then what kind of opportunity is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin was at $15K earlier this year, it’s at $44K right now. That’s up almost 200%. Bitcoin is up 15% over the last eight days.
Cleanspark (ticker: CLSK), one of the best publicly traded Bitcoin miners, is up about 100% in the last eight days.
Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (ticker: GBTC) is up 15% in the past eight days.
MicroStrategy (ticker: MSTR) is up 20% in the last eight days.
The Bitcoin bull run hasn’t even begun yet. It’s still early in the 4-year cycle.
The Blackrock, Fidelity, VanEck, Ark Invest (and at least nine more) Bitcoin (spot price) ETFs probably won’t be approved until January 2024. The companies sponsoring these ETFs have trillions of dollars of assets (combined) under management.
The Bitcoin halving doesn’t take place until April 2024, when the amount of Bitcoin that can be mined is cut in half (this halving is programmed into Bitcoin and happens every 4 years).
So what happens when all of these Bitcoin spot price ETFs are approved in January, giving Bitcoin the official Wall Street ‘Good Housekeeping’ seal of approval?
Are they gonna do like William Devane, and buy gold? There have been gold ETFs for nearly 20 years now. If Blackrock’s and Fidelity’s clientele have wanted to buy gold, they could get it any time, for the past two decades.
What they haven’t been able to do, is buy Bitcoin. Not as an ETF that accommodates all of the accounting regulations and infrastructure of traditional finance.
What happens in April, when the halving occurs, when the Bitcoin supply is cut in half?
What must happen, if demand remains constant, but supply is cut in half?
Once the Bitcoin ETFs are approved, are these fund managers (Blackrock, Fidelity, VanEck, etc.) going to be recommending to their clients to allocate to Bitcoin? That’s the whole reason for creating the ETFs, isn’t it? Are retail and institutional investors, pension funds, etc., going to be buying Bitcoin via these newly available ETFs?
What happens if demand is going up, just when the supply is cut in half?
If the price of gold (or silver) increases substantially, miners are incentivized to invest more resources in exploration for more gold, or to reopen mines that were not commercially viable at under $2,000/oz but make economic sense at $2,300+ per ounce. When demand increases, and price rises, supply will increase to meet the increased demand.
With the possible exception of rare art, Bitcoin is the only asset on earth with a fixed supply that cannot be increased when demand increases.
There are no guarantees of course, I’m just an ape with a keyboard, observing that there are some major positive events coming in the near future for Bitcoin, which will officially become a new asset class on Wall Street when the Bitcoin spot-price ETFs are approved.
Retail investors are buying the Bitcoin proxies (MSTR, GBTC and Bitcoin mining companies) now, and institutions are buying proxies and the Bitcoin Futures ETF (approved in late 2021) to front-run these known upcoming events.
We can be absolutely certain Jim Rickards knows all of this, while he recommends people to buy gold and hope for a 15% return, in a world where the currency is being debased at 14% per year.
It would be interesting to know how many of the professional gold bugs are selling their followers precious metals, while they sock away as much Bitcoin and/or Bitcoin proxies as they can, for themselves.
Standard fare from a bond/commodity trader with intent to lead others in a direction that benefits himself.
The truth is nobody knows where this is going to go because the 2024 election or lack thereof has not occurred yet. WEF/globalists are still playing cards while Rome burns and BRICS gets stronger.
The Fed knows if they will continue the money supply shrinkage at the present rate or change it. The war pigs in government know if they are going to send another $60 B to Ukraine or start a war over Taiwan or not. Consumers have been out of the mix for over a year, so acting like that has just now started is disingenuous. The work force shrinkage continues and more people have part time jobs than ever.
The purpose of part-time is to avoid regs that apply to full-time.
“Standard fare from a bond/commodity trader with intent to lead others in a direction that benefits himself.”
______________
I’ve been watching the gold bugs like a hawk, reading their articles and watching their videos nearly every day, since the government was stolen.
Practically all of them have a conflict of interest, either they sell precious metals directly, or they are affiliated with precious metals sales, or they publish a newsletter on precious metals sales and do the interview circuit with websites and youtoob channels that promote precious metals sales, etc.
Here’s Jimmy’s newsletter rating:

Every day in precious metals land, the sky is falling. Every day is Armageddon Day. It’s a world of perpetual doom. Every day, gold and silver are going to the moon, tomorrow.
Even though all these same people acknowledge and explain how the precious metals markets are blatantly manipulated by the big bullion banks.
Whenever precious metals are up a percent or two, it’s a new long-term rally underway, and you better get on the train before it leaves the station.
Whenever the precious metals are down a percent or two (or ten), they have a hundred rationalizations and justifications, and you better buy more metal.
It’s hard to tell which (if any) actually believe the narrative, and which are purely precious metals salesmen. What’s fascinating is that almost none of them ever deviate from the narrative.
You’ll never find them saying they expect precious metals to be down for the next six months. It’s only up, it’s always up, no matter what.
And with rare exception (Lawrence Lepard is the only one I can think of at the moment), they hate Bitcoin.
They hate it with an unbridled passion… 😂
Sort of like waiting for the white hats to take overt control of the country, since they’ve covertly been in charge all along, right?

workplay.I think I read just yesterday that Ronna had a couple more planned with CNN. Guess not.
That CNN move was the last straw. If she didn’t realize how bad that was going to look for her…..
“The RNC’s decision, made by a 16-member internal body, means that any forthcoming debates will be hosted by networks independently of the committee. Two outlets — ABC and CNN — have announced plans to host future debates in Iowa and New Hampshire ahead of early state voting.”
_____________
So the RNC (Ronna’s No Conservative) turned the GOP presidential candidate selection process over to their partners at ABC and CNN.
And this was intended to make Ronna look less bad… 😂
Nice analysis of enemy action!
from “NAIR”, no doubt… 🙂
Once upon a looking-for-Ronna time
There was a fifty-year-old virgin
Oh, Ronna, oh oh, Ronna, oh oh oh
Looking for my Ronna!
I just got back from looking for Ronna
San Francisco RINO urchin
Oh, Ronna, oh oh, Ronna, oh oh oh
Looking for my Ronna!
Have you seen
My fifty-year-old traitored woman?
Heard a story
She got busted no guts no glory
Oh, no no no no, no no
Once upon a looking-for-Ronna
San Francisco, never end my searchin’
Oh, Ronna, oh oh, Ronna, oh oh oh
Looking for my Ronna!
Thanks for a short & sweet post during this hectic holiday season 🙂 I look forward to watching those videos when I’ve got a bit more time for they sound fun & informative.
Hope you have an awesome weekend! My guys are Up North for Muzzleloader season, the first time they are hunting w/ these 50 caliber weapons. There are so many tasks I hope to complete while they’re gone…but then the Q-Tree calls… ❤ 😍 ❤
Be like FlyLady, set a timer for 15 minutes tasks, followed by 15 minute QT, on and on.
Just stay away from 15-minute cities 😀
That’s a great idea. However my “schedule” got upended when my daughter & granddaughter spontaneously visited. I’ll keep that suggestion in mind next time I have a multitude of tasks for pacing & perspective 🙂
No word on the status of anti-white hate crimes, anti-conservative hate crimes or anti-Christian hate crimes, like usual?
Them are DOJ / FIB targets. <<<>>> Whites. Conservatives. Christians.
Anti-anti-anti missle-missle 🙂
Of course Wray did.
>>> Impeach Wray. Impeach Mayorkis, Idid Amin, Hoe and B*d*n. Nah gonna happen.
Looks like more Jussie/Kamala action from a new player in the hoax game….
Interesting Gab post!

A few years ago, I had a powerful recurring dream that has shaped the way I think about regrets. I was 37 at the time. I had the dream around 4 times in the span of six weeks.
In the dream, I awake in my 19 year old self. It was a good time. I was in excellent shape. I had no debt. I was teaching bible studies and dating my now wife, Emily.
But I had all the knowledge of my 37 year old self.
I knew all my mistakes…
Accumulating student debt, delaying children, putting off seminary, aligning myself with the wrong churches, not buying that stock, wasting money on dumb stuff, letting my health slip, etc.
And now I could avoid it all for my family and give us an even brighter future.
Or could I?
In my dream, I realized I could do it for a family but not the family I have now.
If we got married sooner and immediately had kids, it wouldn’t be the kids we have now.
A different sperm would find its way to a different ovum and a different child would be conceived.
No doubt we would love that child but it wouldn’t be our first born son, Hudson. And we wouldn’t have Athanasius, Caedmon, Nicaea, etc either. To have them, I would have to perfectly recreate my life. And that’s where this dream becomes a nightmare.
Every little decision. Every little word spoken. Every little… and big mistake. I would have to recreate them all to have the family I now love. At this point, fear would overwhelm and I’d usually wake up.
This dream freed me from the tyranny of regrets.
Many mistakes were made. Many sins were committed. I do regret things in my past but I’ve also repent of those sins. Christ has forgiven me.
And somehow Christ has worked through all those things, both good and bad, to give me the blessed life I have now.
I can’t change the past and if I could I’d still screw things up.
So I simply repent of sin and trust in God’s perfect providence.
These days I mostly enjoy the present and dream about the future. God is good.
88
Wonderful! He holds the past, present, & future in His hands so we are blessed & protected, even/especially from ourselves–PTL!
Reliving our past sins is definitely difficult to deal with. For myself I always remember sins with regrets. But on the other hand, God used it to turn me into who I am today.
Totally agree with the children would be different perspective.
Live AND Learn.
I find his choice in childrens’ names very interesting.
I’ve noticed over the past couple of decades a lot more names that are either Biblical or just simply old fashioned (like “Caleb” or “Cody”); this is the current fashion of course (and fashions change–oftentimes names common in the great grandparents’ generations get revived, once people don’t remember old folks having the name).
But I had never until now seen Nicaea used as a person’s name. And Athanasius, while obviously a person’s name, only ever applied to “the” Athanasius of the 4th century (an attendee of the Council of Nicaea if memory serves), until now.
I was struck by those unusual names too, thinking only Nicaea was possibly a girl.
In genealogy, some generations past, there were “conventions” applied, depending on one’s culture in part, that could assist in compiling, via educated guesses, some of the likely forebears. One such naming “convention” went like this, iirc:
1st son–after father
2nd son–after father’s father
3rd son–after mother’s father
1st daughter–after mother
2nd daughter–after father’s mother
3rd daughter–after mother’s mother
Smaller communities could thus have multiple people w/ the same name. The local conventions of applying “jr” or “II” or “III” might not be like we would expect. The oldest “John Stoddard” (to use a name from my family tree from the 1600-1800’s) might have no suffix but the youngest in town might be called “jr” yet not necessarily the oldest JS’s son. It might also be based on when someone arrived to the community. Keeping track of multiple people with the same name from old records can thus be quite challenging & helped when other relations are also named in a document along with dates & places of birth or recent origin, like the town from which the current JS moved, for example.
From my aunt’s work on our family history the first three generations of our direct ancestor Stoddards in America all were named JS…
https://archive.org/details/johnstoddardofwe00patt/mode/2up
It was worse in ancient Rome. All of the female children had the same name. If the father was named Julius, they were all Julia. If you had to distinguish, they’d be Julia tertia (the third daughter), etc. If there were exactly two daughters you might see maior and minor used to distinguish them. (Customs did change as time went on.) You also have two emperor’s wives named Faustina the Elder. and Faustina the Younger. (Married to Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, respectively. The Elder Faustina was the aunt of the Younger. Marcus Aurelius was not a blood relative of Antoninus Pius (at least not before the marriage); he was adopted, the last emperor of five in a row to be adopted. (And those five were all good emperors, too, no whackaloons or entitled turds among them.)
Amazing…and confusing. In the church I attended as an adolescent there were 2 brothers both named after their father. We called one Edward & the other Eddie.
There were also government assistance clients in the computer system in Oklahoma who had multiple kids named after the same father with different mothers, sometimes only a few months apart in age–ugh! I think one guy had 3 different sons, his name junior, w/ 3 different women 
I’m a big fan of giving kids their own unique name, but often passing down family names in the middle name.
I have a cousin whose husband is Jay H. VI so of course his firstborn son is Jay H. VII, & I can understand not wanting to break such a long standing naming chain. Given that this son is severely autistic it’s unlikely that JH VIII will arrive, but that’s in God’s hands…
We have an Ellsworth tradition in our family. Both my husband’s & my fathers & their grandfathers were named William Ellsworth. My husband also has the Ellsworth middle name, as does our first son, Nathaniel, & now our daughter’s first child, Lillian Ellsworth.
In fact when I was pregnant with Nathaniel Ellsworth my husband & father were photographed in front of the Ellsworth, MI welcome sign 🙂
After doing some genealogical digging on my husband’s behalf we discovered some of his ancestry going back a few generations, he didn’t even know Any of his dad’s forebears’ names prior to my searches.
So far, in that Curren line we have multi-generations of the unbroken Ellsworth middle name. If Nathaniel ever has a son we hope he will choose to pass along the Ellsworth to keep the line going.
Here are the known Curren Ellsworths in the unbroken line, thus far:
William Ellsworth, 1860’s
Clarence Ellsworth, 1880’s
William Ellsworth, 1910’s
Michael Ellsworth, 1960’s
Nathaniel Ellsworth, 1990’s
On my side Ellsworths are broken generationally & w/ different surnames &/or different middle names, & even jumping sex at the last installment:
William Ellsworth, 1860’s
son, 1900’s
William Ellsworth, 1930’s
daughter, 1960’s
Nathaniel Ellsworth, 1990’s
great granddaughter, via WE 1930’s daughter, 2020’s
Yes, interesting names. I had not heard of Nicaea as a name, either, but sometimes people are baptized in the name of a saint, and I have known of one person named Athanasius. Not Caedmon, though.
Caedmon I didn’t recognize at all. Was too lazy to look it up.
From Britannica. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Caedmon
“Caedmon, (flourished 658–680), first Old English Christian poet, whose fragmentary hymn to the creation remains a symbol of the adaptation of the aristocratic-heroic Anglo-Saxon verse tradition to the expression of Christian themes. His story is known from Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which tells how Caedmon, an illiterate herdsman, retired from company one night in shame because he could not comply with the demand made of each guest to sing. Then in a dream a stranger appeared commanding him to sing of “the beginning of things,” and the herdsman found himself uttering “verses which he had never heard.” When Caedmon awoke he related his dream to the farm bailiff under whom he worked and was conducted by him to the monastery at Streaneshalch (now called Whitby). The abbess St. Hilda believed that Caedmon was divinely inspired and, to test his powers, proposed that he should render into verse a portion of sacred history, which the monks explained. By the following morning he had fulfilled the task. At the request of the abbess he became an inmate of the monastery. Throughout the remainder of his life his more learned brethren expounded Scripture to him, and all that he heard he reproduced in vernacular poetry. All of his poetry was on sacred themes, and its unvarying aim was to turn men from sin to righteousness. In spite of all the poetic renderings that Caedmon supposedly made, however, it is only the original dream hymn of nine historically precious, but poetically uninspired, lines that can be attributed to him with confidence. The hymn—extant in 17 manuscripts, some in the poet’s Northumbrian dialect, some in other Old English dialects—set the pattern for almost the whole art of Anglo-Saxon verse.”
Fascinating!
Good spot for this. Good praise and worship band from the early years of Contemporary Christian music – Caedmon’s Call.
Followed by the groundbreaker himself who inspired them.
And I have to say I find that artwork visually appealing, though the presence of stars in front of the unlit part of the moon kind of mars it for me.
nice catch! Dopey me just enjoyed the beauty of the pic w/out examining it’s “reality”
Just pretend there’s a bright star behind the moon and those are holes allowing the light to come through.
Or maybe it’s some other planet’s moon and that’s its shape.
Hydrostatic equilibrium says “no” to both. (Hopefully you already know this!) Unless you’re talking a really small body.
Just having a little fun with your fanatical attention to literal accuracy in physics and astronomy.
Perhaps Ursa Minor Beta?
(from HHGTTG):
The rich and sunny planet Ursa Minor Beta has the quite peculiar property that most of its surface consists of subtropic coastline. Even more peculiar, on this world it’s always Saturday afternoon, just right before the beach bars close. Light City, the only city on Ursa Minor Beta, which can only be reached by plane, is the very place where the editorial offices of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reside.
A further anomaly in Light City is that the Lalamatine district, just behind the beach, is the only place on the planet not to enjoy a perpetual Saturday afternoon. Instead it is always early evening, with cooling breezes – this is where the nightclubs are located.
The novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe states that “Ursa Minor Beta is, some say, one of the most appalling places in the known Universe.”
“Although it is excruciatingly rich, horrifyingly sunny and more full of wonderfully exciting people than a pomegranate is of pips, it can hardly be insignificant that when a recent edition of Playbeing Magazine headlined an article with the words, ‘When you are tired of Ursa Minor Beta you are tired of life’, the suicide rate there quadrupled overnight.”
…kind of “Mars” it… 😆
Yeah of course that occurred to me as I typed it! Left it in.
You reminded me of this story with a photo of the Sun with a big hole in it.
https://www.breitbart.com/science/2023/12/09/scientists-unprecedented-dark-hole-on-sun-emitting-unusually-fast-radiation-toward-earth/
The author, Olivia Rondeau, attributes the photo to NASA. So, I went to NASA’s site to try and verify the photo but did not find it by searching there.
Next, I saved a copy of the photo and used Bing to find that photo elsewhere. I don’t find the exact photo at NASA, but found something similar (without stars in the black opening from 1993 that goes to a NASA URL).
Is the Breitbart photo attributed to NASA real or not? It seems weird to me because I thought the Sun would be thicker and have a central core of hot stuff. I did not expect any holes going all the way through it.
I have no idea yet if it’s real or fake.
But it’s being called a “coronal hole” which means it’s a “hole” in the sun’s corona (atmosphere) not the sun itself. That atmosphere is constantly being buffeted by the Sun’s magnetic field (which is itself a twisted complex mess, unlike ours).
The article doesn’t say what wavelength the image is taken at (is it an X ray photo? UV? What?), so I cannot do more than speculate as to why the “hole” appears black, other than to say that either a) whatever wavelength it is, it’s not being emitted by that area, so it will appear black. b) it IS being emitted but much less strongly, so cameras (having a lower dynamic range than the human eye) will see it as black.
Even “black” sunspots (which are on the Sun’s photosphere, the visible layer we think of as the “surface” of the sun) emit plenty of light, but they’re notably cooler than the surrounding areas, which consequently pump out a lot more light.
So I followed the link and am taken to a website that shows a timelapse pretty much just like this picture. No information there as to wavelength. Going to the home page of that website (I have to remove part of the link URL to do it; the menu buttons across the top don’t work), I still can’t find out what wavelength the movie is taken at. (This is by far the worst NASA site I’ve ever seen.)
However, there is one clue, the photos are labeled AIA and checking Wikipedia for “Solar Dynamics Observatory” AIA stands for Atmospheric Imaging Assembly. So again…this is the sun’s atmosphere we are looking at, it’s not a hole in the sun itself. And then FINALLY the clue that lets me unlock the puzzle. AIA consists of multiple sensors with wavelengths ranging from 450 nanometers down to 9.4 nanometers. Only that 450 nm sensor is a visible wavelength (very much at the violet end of the visible spectrum); everything else is UV. The loop is captioned AIA 193 and (judging from other images I saw on the NASA website that number is the wavelength in angstroms (ten angstroms = 1 nanometer). And that’s a match with the AIA 19.3 nm sensor. What this is a picture of, therefore, is light emited by Fe XII and Fe XXIV. That’s ionized iron, with either twelve or 24 electrons stripped off. Highly energetic stuff, at 1.2 and 20 million kelvin, very hot and we are definitely talking about the sun’s atmosphere here. And being so ionized this stuff interacts with the sun’s magnetic field, and so it’s actually a way of looking at the magnetic field. The corona does this sort of thing all the time. I don’t even get the sense that this one is particularly unusual.
All in all, we’re really talking about flares and coronal mass ejections here. Not a “hole in the sun.” We’re going to get high activity when it hits (if it hasn’t already) but not superlatively high activity.
NO FAKE MOONS is obviously a hit in some circles!
I just had this conversation with my son the other day.
I have childhood abuse issues, which led to many, many mistakes, sins, and outright stupid decisions as I navigated my early life.
BUT, I would not change ONE THING.
Not the abuse, not the mistakes, none of it. Because I love my life, my children, all of it. It made me who I am today. And I have been forgiven for my sins. They are the past.
Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Luke 9:62
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
“BUT, I would not change ONE THING.
Not the abuse, not the mistakes, none of it. Because I love my life, my children, all of it. It made me who I am today. And I have been forgiven for my sins. They are the past.”
A Very Hearty Amen!!!
God Bless that broken road…
🙂
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
🙂
Excellent testimony 💕 I can relate and I agree.
Thank you.
Oh, that last line of scripture is a good one!
I love it. Put your hand to the plow and look ahead.
This is outstanding.
There is some great stuff on Gab. Amidst the crap, and there is some great stuff.

Brave and Free
Thank you for this.
Dr. Martin specifically references the 1992 paper by RALPH BARIC regarding his experiments to induce CARDIOMYOPATHY / MYOCARDITIS in lab rabbits. These experiments and the 1992 paper that Baric co-authored was presented and discussed on this board:
https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/166/5/978/900295
The Journal of Infectious Diseases 1992;166:978-85
“An Experimental Model for Dilated Cardiomyopathy after Rabbit Coronavirus Infection”
Ralph Baric, et el.
(scroll down the linked page above to “PDF” to download the paper)
Yours Truly: This paper by Baric, the result of experiments at his lab at UNC-Chapel Hill (partly funded by NIH grant # AI-23946), reports the findings of induced DCM (Dilated Cardiomyopathy) and CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) from RbCV (Rabbit Coronavirus) injected into lab rabbits.
DCM is the “early-stage” presentation of the cardiomyopathy; CHF is the “later-stage” presentation. In the DCM “early-stage”, both biventricular dilation and hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle) are present.
The paper states clearly that “The etiologic agent for this disease [CHF] is an enveloped RNA virus,…”
But here’s the kicker, at the very end of the paper:
“Studies in this laboratory and others demonstrate that viral infection of the heart results in degeneration and necrosis of myocytes, myocarditis, and CHF [15,17,18,34]…Such findings support the theory that viral infection of the heart may lead to dilated cardiomyopathy in humans.” (bolding mine)
Recall that the COVID-19 “vaccines” INDUCE A CONTINUOUS STATE OF INFLAMMATION / “FAKE COVID-19 INFECTION” IN THE BODY OF THE “VACCINE” RECIPIENT; THE BODY IS FORCED TO MAKE A CONTINUOUS LARGE SUPPLY OF IMMUNE SYSTEM “FIGHTER CELLS” TO WARD OFF THIS “FAKE INFECTION”; AND THAT THE COVID-19 “VACCINES” INCREMENTALLY DAMAGE / DESTROY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF THE “VACCINE” RECIPIENT.
Here’s a “take away” graph from the 1992 Baric paper:
For further reference regarding how the COVID-19 “vaccines” induce myocarditis, please see:
https://doi.org/10.7759/cureus.27883
September, 2022
“Catecholamines Are the Key Trigger of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis: A Compelling Hypothesis Supported by Epidemiological, Anatomopathological, Molecular, and Physiological Findings”
Flavio A. Cadegiani
Yours Truly: Catecholamines work as neurotransmitters and hormones within the body. They help to govern things like heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, muscle strength, and mental alertness. The above paper basically hypothesizes that the COVID-19 “vaccines” induce a “hypercatecholaminergic state” that triggers myocarditis.
NOW, here’s the “$64,000 question”:
Are the elements that induced the myocarditis / DCM / CHF in the Baric lab rabbits back in 1992 PRESENT IN THE mRNA OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS ITSELF, IN ADDITION TO BEING PRESENT IN THE COVID-19 “VACCINES?”
By the way, Yours Truly IS NOT saying that ONLY the COVID-19 “vaccines” cause cardio problems like DCM / CHF. There are many OTHER reasons why these occur. BUT, these other reasons are usually the results of things like NATURALLY-occurring issues (coronary artery disease; blood pressure problems; among others); GENETIC ISSUES that are within the body of the person affected; senescence (being quite old); etc.
HOWEVER, the COVID-19 “vaccines” (and perhaps the COVID-19 virus itself) contain elements that INDUCE / ENGENDER cardio problems in the “vaccine” recipient’s body THAT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE.
I don’t think this is beyond the realm of possibility.

Based on the headline. Jack The Hack Smith’s history as a prosecutor is shady at best, if not downright sinister AND evil. <<< Latter Most likely.

Verse of the Day for Saturday, December 9, 2023
✟
“Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.”
Psalms 62:1 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.

Thank you for these. Prayers ongoing for you here and at Marica’s blog. Be well.
I was trying to find one where someone set up motion sensors…and when the sensors were triggered a LOUD sound went off. As you can imagine the cat demonstrated time dilation getting off that countertop.
Yes that is how to fix the problem. Had to resort to the foil many times 🙂
😂
Oh they love high spaces what better way then the countertop 🙂 Mine like the dining room table we seldom use. I see little pow prints on the stove after we are gone.
By the way love red cats had 4 in the past. 🙂
We made a two-shelf climbing wall that leads to a hammock about six feet above the floor. That is my cat’s favorite place in the world.
Mine have a big climbing tree to watch the birds on the bird feeder.
I actually fenced a small part of my yard so my guy can be outside some. He likes to watch the birds out there, too. He chirps at them.
That is great for them 🙂
My cats have a run outside where they can go out from the basement window. All nice and safe . Animals are wonderful 🙂
I agree completely.

Barkerjim t hank you for sharing this article 🙂
Concerning fats that is why we only use butter, Ghee, olive oil duck fat for red cabbage and pork if needed.
I use wheat sparingly Einkorn or rye and other grains all organically grown and no GMO. I have a mill to mill my own grains. My husband likes his oatmeal and has a flaker to make his own from seeds. All organic and no GMO.
Meats all organic grass fed.
Eating like this is not more expensive but then we are only two people.
I have seen health benefits for my husband who is diabetic and some heart issues. His kidney functions are almost normal.Took a long time to get him leave old habits. He began with bad habits being a kid of a Baker.
By the way in Europe there are strict rules about food to protect the population.
I use lard for pie crust and biscuits, and I save bacon fat in a container for veggies 🙂
That makes all the difference. 🙂 Good on you the Scottish way 🙂
🙂
Personal note 🙂
My husband signed a 5 year adjunct contract with the University beginning an 2025.
He will be going on 87 years old when the contract expire.
We are laughing normally they only extent a 3 year contract. 😅
I think he will teach until he dies. He loves being busy and being among young people teaching. His father was the same worked up to a year before he past away.
Work ethic is so ingrained in the older generation one cannot change it.
That’s wonderful! Hopefully he can help some of the younger kiddos catch a clue! Hubby sounds like a Very Young 82–you are so blessed!!! 😍
Yes he has some moments as I have. 🙂
No one believe he is as old as he is. He is slim still has hair and is not all white. He walks everyday 2 miles with the dog. He cannot sit still and has to do something. Loves to shop loves to drive. Of course I am the cook and keep him going 🙂 No poison food in our house allowed.
Your last sentence made LoL. 😆
I am glad you enjoyed . 🙂
❤ 😍 ❤
It is healthy for most people to continue working, I think. Especially men.
I think so too and it keeps him out of my hair 🙂
Also very important for a happy life!
Happy life happy marriage 🙂
That 2 miles per day is the life-extender!!!
Well, not to mention the good food, obviously! 😉
That is true and not always easy. The dog keeps him honest 🙂
How old is the dog? If the dog becomes bed-ridden, or can only take short walks, your husband still needs his full walk. Dog aging is a real problem for senior health.
My dog in 8 and if he gets to that place I will get a middle age dog.
“That 2 miles per day is the life-extender!!!”
Yes! My mom’s Birth GGM was an avid reader & apparently walked a mile to the library every day, checked out a book, walked home, read it over night, & repeated the process. Active mind AND body & she lived to be 103! Her daughter lived to be 97, but I didn’t hear about her library walking habits from the family…
Impressive!!!
She also had library card 001 reportedly! 😉
First of the two YT videos, (The MASSIVE difference between orbit and sub-orbit), Steve posted is superb.
Second video this afternoon.
The second one is a very specific topic I didn’t cover, but of course touches on things I did cover. I was rather surprised to recognize Pikes Peak in it (albeit from a less familiar side). Reminded me of some Heinlein stories where the first moon rockets took off from here. (And he brought up many of the same considerations this video highlights–Heinlein was no dummy when he wrote in the 30s and 40s.)
Remember BOFH from theregister.uk? Hat tip Simon Travagia.
Wiki bio: “The Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH) is a fictional rogue computer operator created by Simon Travaglia, who takes out his anger on users (who are “lusers” to him) and others who pester him with their computer problems, uses his expertise against his enemies and manipulates his employer.[1][2]I”
Someone in Congress must have hired him to replace the Awan brothers.

That’s one of my FAVOURITE columns there… I think there are a few books of BOFH; at least one…
Cattle prod comes in handy, often… 🙂
And watch for the stairways and windows 😆
I’ve met one or two BOFHs in my days in tech. Perhaps they thought BOFH was an instructional rather than humorous. hehe
Almost scary?

Fascinating.
Big Pharma missed an opportunity.
Not even enough time, for the next Safe AND Effective mRNA Injection.
IIRC. Big Pharma was able to rush faux vaccines for Monkey Pox, which the Feds bought millions of doses.
Yours Truly called this out for what it is—a result of the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines”—on this board a few days ago.
Yes you did, funny how these headlines fad away as quickly as they come now.
Keep doing what you’re doing 👍 everyone has a purpose in these times.
You’re helping me wake up people with your research. Thank you 😊.
Yes, you sure did!
Because of your research, we are steps ahead of almost everybody. Thank you for all you do!
Huge Amen!
As the crowd cheers on the dementia asshole…
When money is one’s main obsession. Now I know why Obama once said (paraphrased): “At some point, haven’t you made enough money?”
…which I wish someone would ask him to his face.
Hypocrite hussein famously said that. Trying to shame successful folks.
Then wrote books, or someone wrote books with his name as author. Paid Millions.
And, gets hundreds of thousands for speaking, what others write for him.
Such a POS.

Tucker Carlson Responds to Becoming Donald Trump’s Vice President
As Semafor reported, Tucker gave the keynote speech Thursday night at the American Principles Project Foundation’s annual Christmas gala where he spoke about his Christian faith, optimism, and an America where “everything’s falling apart. Afterward, an audience member asked him to address the VP reports.
While Tucker did not wholly rule out serving as Trump’s sidekick, he said, “God would have to yell at me very loud.” He also expressed anxiety about transitioning from being a well-paid private citizen to becoming a politician.
“To go from being, like, a well-paid street corner schizophrenic to, like, a politician — it’s just kind of hard to envision,” Tucker said.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/12/tucker-carlson-officially-responds-becoming-donald-trumps-vice/
Yeah, Tucker is right where he needs to be. Truth telling.
I would expect a certain number of people here will get this…..
Well, I’m sure I don’t get it in the way you mean. To me, it’s the Church of the Bell Curve.
That’s exactly right.
Totally missed it. Not knowing, my first guess on this very strange looking church in a cold clime was going to be something out of HPL. So headed off to Antarctica to see if Admiral Byrd had actually uncovered something. Whoops…some oddities are argued about but not that… which provides the first clue… “wrong direction”.
From here we cheated… second clue….if you wish to know moar…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Abductions in Iceland by the Barbary Pirates (moslems) in 1627.
Now that might be a shocker to know the muslims were raiding for white gold that far north in the 1600’s unless you read Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, where in Book I, “Quick Silver” in one of the opening scenes… (every character got an opening scene) Young Eliza is far from shore clamming with her mother while the tide was out, when upon the horizon and in conjunction with the tides coming in a black sail swoops toward them. Long story short, Barbary Pirates took both of them away making them slaves in the Sultan’s Turkish Harem and we’d not hear much else about Eliza until Half Cock Jack shows up and saves her at the Battle of Vienna. All that also in the 1600s. And just the start of the story…
Oh, cool! I knew it, and didn’t know I knew it. Typical of me.
Was it architected in the Bell Epoque?
(ducks and runs from flying bricks, stones, buttresses, etc.) 🙂
Good one!
Reminds me of this 😀
A good one. If you were a girl, I’d give you a kiss. 😎
Joyously bad!
Oh, that is SO BAD! Lol!
It’s a goodie, but it’s also an oldie. My high school calculus teacher told us that one.
It’s beautiful inside and the organ is huge.
So does it have bells?
Yes, I have a much nicer vid than this but mine is not publicly available lol
The first image posted here was so hazy (from snowfall) I didn’t even think it was real.
Unfortunately the central spire ruins the “bell curve” effect by coming to a triangular apex. This is left off the original pic.
but yeah, I get your joke
Tubular, by the looks of it 😁
That rings a bell…
Free speech for Alex Jones? Elon Musk is running a poll as he sometimes does to see what everyone thinks about letting Alex and InfoWars return to X/Twitter. I voted yes, because free speech is for everyone especially if we don’t like something. We can always respond with our own ideas. That is, unless gov and big tech selectively censor. Plus, with free speech, if someone’s a jerk, I can decide that on my own by listening and then tune them out.
Over 1.65 million have voted so far 😮😏😆
What are the current vote totals?
I can’t vote, so I can’t see the current totals, because nasty Linda Yaccarino-Hitler banned me.
Nearly 1.7 million. 70% for reinstating.
Thank you!
Surprised it isn’t 90% or higher in favor!
Reinstate Alex Jones on this platform?
Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

The Leftists are gonna be so mad… 😂
Why? He has an extremely bad rep in some circles for simply being a nut, and by no means have the Leftists who are willing to censor, left this place.
“He has an extremely bad rep in some circles for simply being a nut,”
____________
Yep, he’s a pretty well known quantity at this point, so take what he says with a grain of salt, but he still talks about a lot of stuff that more mainstream ‘influencers’ won’t go near, and that always makes me smile 😁
Currently at a flat 70% to reinstate with three hours left in the pole.
Thanks Para! Here’s the finals Alex Jones and Info Wars should be getting their accounts opened soon. Free Speech won this time.
Yes – 70.1%
No – 29.9%

He knew what the people were going to say before he asked the question 😂🤣😂
Well said
Thank you, Happy! 😊
Yours Truly’s sister has COVID-19. Third time. Is in isolation. Got the “2023-2024 Formula COVID-19 Vaccine” in September.
God be with her.
🙏
TradeBait2
Thank you. She has a total of either 4 or 5 modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” in her body now.
🙏 prayers for your sister, PAVACA and also for your brother, Brave & Free. It is so hard to know but not be able to explain so others we care about might examine for themselves and find the truth to stay safe.
Sorry to hear this, my brother has had Covid three or four times. Fully vaccinated and doesn’t get the correlation.
Yep, because it would be so much worse if it weren’t for the shots.
(That’s what they actually think.)
Yes. 🙏 And with you. I know it’s a stress and concern.
So sorry to hear this PAVACA. May God provide her with healing & truth that she will receive. 🙏
😂
He looks familiar. We may of covered this guy when he first was hospitalized.
Canadian Journalist Who Advocated Draconian Vaxx-Passport Mandates Dies Mysteriously at 33 By J.D. Rucker • Dec. 9, 2023

He was actively engaged in intimidating people into poisoning themselves.
His death, while regrettable, saved lives. [h/t Colonel Jessup]
Hunter’s in denial. Listen long enough he’ll save America for you as his dad wanders around nekkid in the hall. 😮

The spawn also does the nekkid thing. [one guess where he learned it from]
Marco Polo had to spend many hours blurring out pics of his family jewels and various hookers’ assets in order to make the laptop contents suitable for public release.
Looks like CTH is offline.
Did they touch the NZ data? THAT is the number one hot deplatformer right now.
Just tried as well. No notice on X or Nitter, but there were some powerful pieces that just posted about FISA 702 reauthorization.
Not sure what’s up.
Just checked. He’s back up, but that post has implications for all blogs, including ours. EVIL.

JUST IN: Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee – Endorsed By Hillary Clinton – Loses Houston Mayoral Race in Landslide
Good. Another SATANIC PEDOPHILE down and out. One at a time!
NOT TODAY, SATAN!
Are you referring to this?
I haven’t seen other evidence. I also haven’t seen an explanation from her.
Yup! There is an article somewhere about all the weird stuff with this woman. Not sure if I can find it.
If that photo hasn’t been doctored, there’s no getting around that ring. What plausible explanation could she have?
There isn’t one.
Jewelry is a very personal choice, there’s no chance she doesn’t know what the symbolism means if she bought it for herself.
And if she claims someone gave it to her, she implicates whoever that person is.
Apparently she still has her congressional seat, but the tweets are freaking hilarious.
Whoops…. have to pause the roasting of Sheila Jackson Lee for this important update…
And we now turn back to the roasting…
The 36-year-old man had gone to the hospital the week before his death. He had told his mother he was having mini-strokes. I suspect the vax could be a factor.
Crushed! 64.39% to 35.61%
I lived in Houston in my late 20s and worked for a small tech startup whose owners knew Kathy Whitmire. My first question was: “Is Kathy Whitmire related to John Whitmire?” The answer is yes, Kathy was married to Jim Whitmire, the deceased brother of John Whitmire. The answer is here:

That’s odd. DeSantis needs to make a statement. Maybe the new pick has some dirt on him.

Katie is a hoot…and she nails the fanatisism of the vaccineers to a tee….thanks for the 😂 scott.
You’re very welcome, she cracked me up too! 😂
