JOHN 5:1-16
1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Beth-za’tha, which has five porticoes. 3In these lay a multitude of invalids, blind, lame, paralyzed. 5One man was there, who had been ill for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him and knew that he had been lying there a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be healed?” 7The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is troubled, and while I am going another steps down before me.” 8Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your pallet, and walk.” 9And at once the man was healed, and he took up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the sabbath. 10So the Jews said to the man who was cured, “It is the sabbath, it is not lawful for you to carry your pallet.” 11But he answered them, “The man who healed me said to me, `Take up your pallet, and walk.'” 12They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, `Take up your pallet, and walk’?” 13Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you.” 15The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him. 16And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath.

Supposed to be 70 here in PNW on Saturday. Global warming indeed.
It has been below freezing 2 nights in a row here in NC.
Same here on the other side of the mountains. The roller coaster has begun. Supposed to be up to 75 Thursday and a high of 44 by Tuesday of next week.

Well, I am quite the cynic when it comes to the GOP organization.

Also some of the RINO funders are tossing a tantrum.
^^^ This.
To be sure PDT is making deals with a handful of RINOs he can control where there are no better choices in place. We are in an endurance race, not a sprint. It takes time to “grow your own” into roles of leadership.
But the support staffing can and should changed out immediately. They are the swamp critters that cause most of the problems making it hard to hold the overall org accountable. The internal leaks and undermining has to be blown up.
Yes.
I basically figure there are four sorts of “professional” Republicans. By that I mean activists, office holders, people holding positions in the party.
1) True blue, and steady — These are no problem.
2) Started out True Blue but eventually lost the fire in the belly and are going with the flow now. — With the right person the fire can be reignited and an apparent RINO turns out to blossom
3) Controllable RINO — They’d rather be RINO but not at the expense of losing their position.
4) Absolute conniving shitweasel dickhead RINOs. I may have said a few things about them in the past, so I’ll just stop here.
I like tantrums by my enemies. 😆

Indeed. The laws of thermodynamics can not be repealed, and the third one which can be paraphrased as «Everything put together sooner or later falls apart»* in particular, serves as «the drag». Then add one or more incompetent or sub-competent «queens» to this, and things will happen. Or fail to happen, which can be a mite concerning at 35000 feet above ground.

A little birdie tells me that all airlines are hurting this way. Why one is being highlighted….
If it was happening at all airlines, people would certainly be posting about it on Tweeter and Facecrook.
I wonder if any of the new A.I. models access either or both on an ongoing basis?
Imagine asking A.I. “Arya, how many tweets or FB posts about alarming incidents in air travel are there today?
How does that compare week over week, month over month and year over year?
If you can cross-reference the timing of incidents to eliminate duplicates, and identify which incidents are associated with which airline, what is the breakdown on the number of incidents for each airline, over the past week, past month and past year?
Seems like this is the kind of thing A.I. could be extremely useful for, if it has access to the raw data.
The trouble now is that some AIs will give false stats in these cases. People end up having to double-check the AIs, which ruins the utility.

Mike Flynn’s Beverly Hills Precious Metals Exchange, Inc.: “General Flynn’s Gold Buyer of Choice”
Really, man?
.
A zillion sites out there that talk about gold…and then want you to buy from them, likely at ridiculously inflated prices.
Coin dealers go with Kitco or Apmex (and probably favor kitco). If you’re looking to buy, go there first.
And stay the hell off of Costco, Sams, Ebay and Amazon.
Gold is the ‘Go To’ when times are uncertain and people lose faith in their government.
I personally think the “buy gold” pitch to the average guy is crap.
I don’t mean the people with 100s of thousands in savings to hold. I mean the lady I know making 35K a year, who is buying gold to use when “the economy collapses.”
I ask her, how will you spend it? Do you think I’m going to take a flake of gold for a dozen of my hen’s eggs? Do you think the grocery store will accept it?
It’s a SCAM.
Amen.
Steve has been very clear about the need to have “old silver coinage” to fill that void – and even then there’s no guarantee that AMMO won’t be better coinage, frankly, as bartering heads back into prominence.
I think skills and material goods will be much more useful if it really goes to shit.
Being able to repair someone’s only decent pair of pants or sweater would be much more meaningful than devalued money, in my opinion. Or a haunch of elk from a good hunter.
I have a former client who is a bowhunter. I’ve already warned him that I’ll be on his doorstep if the SHTF. 😆
Yes. You cant eat or (really) wear gold.
Sugar, salt vinegar… Stuff you can use to preserve food
Cigarettes and coffee are always good trade items too.
This assumes that the desired item is available, or there is a need for work.
You can be the best truck mechanic in your county, but that won’t help you buy eggs from a chicken rancher whose truck is working. At that point, you need an exchange medium and a store of value, and silver (and gold) would serve that role when Federal Reserve Notes become devalued.
For spending purposes you’d probably want junk silver and even then you have to wait for a time when people are savvy to the fact that that silver dime is actually worth more than a regular dime. And even then it’d be part of the less formal economy; you can’t put it in the bank.
I think where gold comes into play is a hedge against market unrest. When collapses happen, and economies tank, gold traditionally goes up.
That is its most common role in today’s system.
Will it ever be the underpinning for money ever again? Well, we keep hearing rumors…
One of these days, someone is going to find an asteroid with tons of gold, and completely blow up the concept of gold as a basis of money — similar to what happened in Europe when the Spaniards looted the New World.
Yes. Honestly all it would take would be a 1 kilometer iron-nickel asteroid and gold plus the PGMs would be a lot more common.
But, and here’s the key thing, we’d have to either move a four-billion-tonne asteroid into LEO, OR be prepared to process a four billion tonnes of metal on site (which will likely involve melting it, or similar quantities of chemicals, which will take LOTS of energy), at which point we still have to ship a lot of stuff back. In other words I don’t think we’re close to being able to do it.
(Unless I slipped a decimal, a 500 meter radius satellite at 8 tonnes/cubic meter comes to about 4 billion tonnes.)
I suspect the PGMs would get hit harder than gold, simply because I think they had even more of a tendency to sink to the Earth’s core. That makes them look rarer to us than they are, relatively speaking.
(I’m trying to find out more about metallic meteorite composition (it ought to track well with iron nickel asteroids) and it appears gold might be at one part per million and iridium perhaps even higher (in our crust iridium is quite possibly the rarest stable element). So that 4 billion tonne asteroid might have 4,000 tonnes of gold in it.
However, that wouldn’t make too much of a bump in our current gold inventory which is about 150,000 tonnes (at least if all of those claims that all the gold ever mined would fit in a 20 meter cube are accurate). It would have a huge effect on the iridium and platinum inventories, though. Supposedly all of the platinum ever mined so far would fit in a living room.
Gosh…
What would I EVER do with all those “Platinum Plus” razor blades I bought way back when 🙂
I still wonder about the moon (Europa? would be the first useful thing Europe ever did) that supposedly spews diamonds as a volcanic (by)product…
Just think what that would do to “Paul, at the diamond center”…
(and all of us who could get jewelry, etc., repaired for a reasonable price…. and the various Shure cartridges restored to their youthful vigor)(OK, I want some AR3 speakers and a Heathkit AR-15 amp or two…)…..
Of course you’d probably also want a different sort of AR-15 as well.
I don’t recall reading about diamonds coming from a volcano, but it’s likely Io you are thinking about, on account of it being the Jovian moon with the volcanoes.
Yep, maybe…
AR-15 was tubes, AR-1500 was solid-state… tubes are warmer (OK, distortion, I know)…
Yep. Io it is…
As memorialized (especially considering womyn’s day on 8th March) in the famous, unforgettable (and, perhaps, unforgiveable) expression,
“Io Beech, Gimme a Sammich” 😆
Said target of that expression not in a Jovial mood whatsoever 😀
bwah ha ha!!!

I admire your faith in humanity… I wish I had some 😂
But here’s what humans would do.
The people who are extremely wealthy in gold (e.g. central banks, sovereign wealth funds) are not going to allow anyone to make their gold worthless.
So everyone associated with the asteroid project will die suddenly, long before that asteroid is ever mined.
Or they will strike a deal to nudge that asteroid onto a path that leaves the galaxy, ensuring the gold (and therefore their wealth, and therefore their power) on earth is not devalued.
Or they will keep the asteroid a secret, mine it, and inflate the gold supply without the market knowing, (few things on earth are less transparent than the gold supply, and who has how much), and as fast as they can, exchange gold for whatever is still hard / scarce, before everyone finds out that the gold is now worth nothing.
Or they will just control the gold supply, so that even though gold was no longer scarce, it would become artificially scarce, as the De Beer family (and others) has done with diamonds.
Or something similar.
The people who have power and wealth aren’t going to give that up without enough war to end civilization.
What I’m getting at, is that there is no scenario under which TPTB are going to give up their power, just because some yahoo finds an asteroid full of gold.
They will either kill the yahoo, eliminate the new source, or take control of the new source, in order to preserve their position and power.
Absolutely correct.
They’ve already done this with artificial diamonds. The money paradigm was not allowed to be broken. They integrated artificial diamonds into the existing scam, THEN let them loose.
“The money paradigm was not allowed to be broken.”
_____________
This is why Bitcoin is a threat to the entire system, the whole reason it was created, in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis.
TPTB have tried to ban it, and discovered immediately that they couldn’t.
That had to be a real ‘wake-up’ moment, to the kind of people who are used to total power and control… makes me smile every time I think about it 😂
They don’t have the computing power to hack it.
It is decentralized, it exists on a permanent ledger in cyberspace. The ledger exists on thousands of ‘nodes’ all over the world, with more being added each day, so even if there was a nuclear war, lots of nodes would survive, and each node has a copy of the entire Bitcoin blockchain.
There is no CEO or board of directors to threaten, so TPTB can’t take it over by any conventional strong-arm tactics.
There is nobody to arrest, nobody to sanction, nobody to bribe, nobody to coerce. There is no individual or entity “in control of” Bitcoin.
The scarcity is real, unlike every other commodity that has ever existed. I think this may be the aspect that much of the general public doesn’t grasp, because with the exception of rare original artwork, people have never experienced something that is really and truly scarce or truly limited in quantity. No matter how high the price goes, they can’t ‘make’ any more than the program allows, and once the total limit is reached, the program shuts down mining forever.
At that point, you have a fixed supply, which goes down slightly with each passing day due to people losing their access codes. So the available supply actually becomes deflationary, once mining stops.
And unlike national coinage, there is no means to replace lost coins.
And the more Bitcoin that is lost, the better it is for everyone who has Bitcoin, because there is less of it, so what remains becomes more valuable.
It is a very elegant solution to the value problem humanity has always faced. The cycle repeats over and over throughout history, all government fiat goes to zero eventually, because gov’t is corrupt, gets fat and lazy, debases the fiat currency through inflating the supply (or depletes the precious metal content), the currency loses value, eventually the corrupt gov’t can’t afford to pay the military to protect them from the People, and then the poor People finally overthrow the gov’t, or a foreign adversary does it for them.
Then the new despot starts the cycle over again.
Bitcoin breaks the cycle.
It can’t be inflated.
It can’t be debased.
It can be lost, but that just makes the remaining Bitcoin more valuable.
It is infinitely divisible (practically), so no matter how much is lost, there will always be enough to go around, the value of each remaining fraction just goes up accordingly.
It is totally transparent. Anyone, anywhere, can easily check the total amount of Bitcoin in the world at any time. Unlike the Fed, which is never audited, there will never need to be an audit of Bitcoin, because the Ledger is public at all times.
No government controls it, so it can’t be used as a weapon in the way Brandon & Co. have tried to use the U.S. dollar as a weapon against Russia, leading to the BRICS movement to escape the dollar.
It has a true global market, open 24/7/365.
It is unregulated and unregulatable. Politicians can regulate the miners, but if the regulations are onerous, the miners relocate to a more friendly location, and the nation that caused them to move loses that entire industry, and all the jobs and innovation and technology development associated with it. Which is what chyna learned the hard way, causing them to reverse their ‘ban’, after all the miners moved away to enrich some other country instead of chyna.
Politicians can regulate exchanges and ETFs, but only those exchanges and ETFs which are within a particular government’s jurisdiction. Bitcoin is global.
Bitcoin can be used person to person without any intermediary. So if I know someone on the other side of the world (for example), or if I want to buy something from someone on the other side of the world, I can send that person Bitcoin, directly, like sending an email, without any third party payment processor between us, and the blockchain verifies the transaction on the Ledger.
No Paypal, no Venmo, no credit card, no bank involved. No one can stop it or interrupt it. It is freedom to contract and freedom to engage in commerce.
It becomes almost immediately apparent that the people who invented Bitcoin understood all of the many ways corrupt governments and corporate entities manipulate money to their own benefit, and systematically eliminated those means.
At its inception, it had the potential to be the most liberating invention in history.
It has been under constant attack for 15 years, and it has survived every attack.
When the ETFs were approved by the U.S., that gave the green light to every other nation on earth.
Bitcoin officially became the 11th asset class.
1) Equities (stocks)
2) Fixed income (bonds)
3) Cash and cash equivalents
4) Commodities
5) Real estate
6) Infrastructure
7) Private equity
8) Hedge funds
9) Art and collectibles
10) Insurance
11) Bitcoin
Bitcoin just passed the total market cap of Silver yesterday or the day before.
Over $20 billion has gone into the 9 new ETFs in the past 40 market days, so the inflows are averaging $500 million per day.
I think yesterday was the 2nd highest inflow so far.
At this point, it shows no signs of slowing down, and there are many reasons to expect that inflows to the Bitcoin ETFs will steadily increase.
When the Gold ETF was introduced, it went up for 8 years.
If I remember correctly from a chart in a recent video presentation, it took the Gold ETF three years to take in the same amount of funds as the Bitcoin ETFs have absorbed in just 40 trading days.
Texas is in the process of making gold legal tender. Soon there will be Texas Bucks with which you can buy stuff.
“I don’t mean the people with 100s of thousands in savings to hold. I mean the lady I know making 35K a year, who is buying gold to use when “the economy collapses.” ”
____________
Generally, if someone is buying less than an ounce at a time, they are paying a significant premium over spot price, which means the price has to go up a fair amount (in dollar terms) to break even, but then when you go to sell, the dealer may offer less than spot, so it has to go up even more.
At an ounce or higher, the premium may only be 2% or 3% (haven’t checked recently). But for half ounces, quarter ounces or those wafer thin ‘tabs’, the premium is much higher.
So basically, the people who can afford the least (but want some) get ripped off the most.
If the economy collapses though, dollars won’t be worth anything, so either gold will have to be priced in something else, or everything will be denominated in gold or silver.
“I ask her, how will you spend it?”
_____________
There will always be people who take gold or silver in an economic collapse, it’s fundamental to the exchange process.
Suppose you have eggs, and another person has maple syrup you want. If he wants your eggs, then great, you trade. But if the person with the maple syrup doesn’t need any eggs, you’re stuck.
Unless there is a medium of exchange you both agree to, and everybody agrees that gold and silver have value. So you sell your eggs (which the syrup guy doesn’t want) to someone for silver, which the syrup guy does want, because he can then use that stored value to buy something from someone else, who doesn’t want to trade for his maple syrup.
“Do you think I’m going to take a flake of gold for a dozen of my hen’s eggs? Do you think the grocery store will accept it?”
___________
You might not (or you might change your mind and accept it), but why wouldn’t the grocery store?
In an economic collapse, paper dollars effectively go to zero, like German marks in the early 1920s.
If the grocery store has sources to replenish store stock, they are going to need to use some medium of exchange to do so, which would likely be gold, silver or some kind of crypto (if electricity and/or cell service or Internet or satellite was working).
If the grocery store only has whatever stock was on their shelves before the collapse, fresh foods are a ‘use it or lose it’ proposition, so they take whatever they can get for it, and it would probably be gone quickly.
A commercial enterprise needs a medium of exchange, they can’t haggle eggs for syrup with every customer. It’s too cumbersome, and requires too much relative value knowledge between thousands of different products, in order to determine what is a fair deal.
If you live in a village of 50 people, and there are only a hundred or so items needed for subsistence, simple trade may work. For a commercial enterprise, they will need a medium of exchange.
Also, in Weimar Germany, if I remember correctly, for a period of time you could buy a nice 4 bedroom house in a suburb for 1 ounce of gold. Many people are aware of this, so if that scenario occurs again, there will be people looking to buy real property with gold.
Whoever sold that house in 1920s Germany didn’t need eggs, or syrup… they needed something that was durable, fungible, transportable and stored value that could be exchanged for something else in the future.
Very nicely stated. 🤗
What do you think about a 4% markup on junk silver?
4% would equal $1 markup on $25 market spot price. That is very good. The typical low price is about $3 over spot and most are $5-$8 over spot
ThanQ very much.
To be better understood, ‘junk silver’ (old silver coinage <=1964 Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar, Silver Dollar) contains 90% pure silver. In addition, 5 dimes = 2 quarters = one half dollar = 0.3617 Troy Ounces (TOz) of pure silver. Circulated coins typically weigh a little less from wear, maybe 0.35 TOz.
There are several ways to figure actual silver value for a single coin, but I’m showing one.
Keeping it simple, with pure silver at $25/TOz, a circulated group of coins with a ‘Face Value” of $1.00 ( 10 dimes, 4 quarters, 2 halves, it doesn’t matter) will have ~ 0.70 TOz of pure silver X $25/TOz = $17.50.
Many dealers sell junk silver by face value. For example, they might offer $100 Face Value of Junk Silver for $2000. That would have an actual silver value of roughly $1750 at $25 silver. That should give you an idea of actual value and profit realized by sellers
What one should pay attention to is not so much, “how much over spot does it cost” but rather…”what’s the spread?” Sometimes the spot price doesn’t really correspond to the true market value of the actual metal.
In other words, don’t assume the dealer is paying spot price. He’s probably not. In some cases (though probably not with junk silver) he could be paying more.
To see how much a dealer makes, find out what he’s paying for the same item; he advertises that too since he has to buy it in order to have any to sell.
Again, you bring the real stuff. ThanQ.
Tybm.
What about silver?
Many of the same considerations apply. A hyping site should probably avoided; the same two companies I mentioned are go-tos for precious metals in general (not just gold). I’d avoid any place with expensive advertising (e.g., Parade Magazine if that still exists).
Okie doke. Tyvm.
I’m still stuck in the ads at the back of “Popular Mechanics” for “you can make money with rock tumblers” and “make your own business as a locksmith” 😆
(OK, I’m not looking at that, but the various PM archives out there are great… I still have “The Boy Mechanic” and “The Boy Chemist”, both of which are probably illegal now 🙂 )…..
Thank you for that information.
Thanks for today’s post. The springtime flowers certainly look the part, unlike the view outside here. The squirrels are active running around on the various elevated cables, and the hazel have grown catkins, but the weather is in one of those holding patterns when there is overcast, cold, and no wind.
Storm can wipe out internet. Perhaps, though fiber is impervious to solar activity, and if the Tx/Rx stations are hardened, the system will stay up. But with systematic weak points such as the interdependence of DNS and https, and the general decay of knowledge
and deferred maintenance could make the systems fall over to become useless, if a storm were to hit. Just look at the number of failures on aircraft over the last weeks. The third law of thermodynamics is not repealed.

That’s exactly why nearly everyone in my grade (and a couple ahead and a couple behind) did listen to our parents’ music.
Because in 1982, when MTV began, video killed the radio star, and murdered music right along with it.
Older people may not be aware, because it wasn’t as relevant to them at that point in their lives, but it was a shocking thing to people in my age group when it happened.
You just can’t flip a switch and go from Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who, Jimi, Janis, Bob, the Doors, CSN&Y, Zeppelin, etc., to Men Without Hats, Flock of Seagulls, Wham! and Boy George.
It’s just not happening. There’s no way to make that transition.
That’s a HARD pass 😂
So the only thing we could do was go backward, back to the classics, and fortunately there is a huge back catalog of music worth exploring from the 50s, 60s and 70s that has easily stood the test of time to this day, and will continue doing so.
I don’t think MTV caused the problem.
Music sales and the like were already declining before MTV showed up; MTV boosted sales because of the new medium.
Which indicates to me that the rot was already underway when MTV began, it was not caused by MTV. MTV simply allowed it to continue.
Lol

GOOD STUFF!!!
a loan? after the news has been reporting how much of the aid we already sent was stolen by grifters in their gov’t? $60 BILLION??? and they will repay that HOW?

Mike Johnson wants $60 Billion LOAN to Ukraine…
‘House Speaker Mike Johnson and the chairmen of multiple committees dealing with national security are working on their own bill that would treat some aid to Kiev as a long-term loan.’ — A Anglin
The first question a responsible lender asks is, what is the credit rating of the borrower?
S&P Global offers an answer:
‘We expect the Ukrainian government to begin formal discussions on debt restructuring with its private creditors in the short term and complete the process by the middle of this year.
‘We consider it a virtual certainty that Ukraine will default on its external commercial obligations.
‘As a result, we lowered our long-term foreign-currency rating on Ukraine to ‘CC’ from ‘CCC’.’
https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/-/view/type/HTML/id/3136282
Only fools — and Congress Clowns wasting OPM (Other People’s Money) — would shower $60 billion on the deadbeat Ukies.
Mike Johnson and the RINOS should be obliged to sign on as a personal guarantor, so that he will be ruined along with US taxpayers when the Ukies upend their empty pockets.
Ukraito is putting on a publicity event, maybe to coincide with their begging bowl attempt.
Since Sunday they’ve been attacking in the Belgorod region.
*********************
“At night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out an attack on Russian targets using 25 UAVs was stopped – Russian Ministry of Defense
In particular, two of them were destroyed over the Moscow region, one each over Leningrad, Bryansk and Tula, two more over Oryol, seven over Belgorod and eleven over Kursk.

Belgorod region, attempt to break through by the enemy
In the morning, three enemy armored personnel carriers tried to break through the border in the southeast of the Grayvoronsky urban district.
The enemy’s equipment was destroyed.
https://t.me/intelslava/55924
*********************
“Apparently, the Kiev regime decided to repeat last year’s action with an entry into the territory of the Belgorod region according to the same scheme using troops from the “RDK”: early in the morning, Ukrainian formations went on the attack in one of the areas.
On Sunday, Russian troops already thwarted the first attempt, actively striking the Ukrainian Armed Forces as they formed battle formations, destroying several units of armored vehicles and artillery. However, even this did not become a reason for them to abandon their next PR outing.
At the same time, enemy resources are distributing a video of allegedly entering Russian villages: as colleagues have already written absolutely correctly, all these recordings are so far fake and pre-made “blanks.”
At the moment, Ukrainian formations have concentrated two infantry battalions and armored vehicles, including tanks, in the area: Russian troops are monitoring enemy activity and are actively working on identified targets.”

The footage shows both the spent part of the cluster munition and the consequences of being hit by its submunitions.
Government resources were also subject to a hacker attack, including the electronic document management service, through which fake documents are now being distributed.”

There are two good comments:
gordonwysong
And a response by Anna Stark
I find comments most interesting because they often say the hidden TRUTH out loud. Stuff the Urinalists are NOT ALLOWED TO SAY. Also they are a measure of how much ‘normies’ have figured out.
Remember I got banned from commenting on Brietbart and American Stinker about a decade ago so commenters are more representative of normies and not us ‘Cultural Heretics’
i don’t think this is a bad idea…yet. these people got to the gun range, they are advocating for gun safety–but they are also cleaning up their neighborhood and making a stand. i think that’s good.

Take away the cops, Take away the DAs and LAWS that indict and convict criminals, and people will take on the functions themselves.
Because if THEY don’t the only organized armed people who care WILL.
That would be the gangs.
March 2018 — Look at the Crime Rate in This US Town Where Guns Are Required by Law
It undeniably does help if all prospective victims have teeth.
But individuals acting as individuals won’t stop a determined gang; they have to band together. Which is what seems to be happening in Hartford.
“It undeniably does help if all prospective victims have teeth….”
It makes the gang head for less hostile territory such as a state that insists all fire arms are unloaded and stored in a lock box. 😋
As long as the lock box has room inside for you …
Better have hearing protection then…lots of it!
If the lockbox is big enough for a person, then there wouldn’t be any gunfire. 😂
Daughters of the American Revolution began accepting trannies –even though the Sons of the American Revolution exists and is STRICTLY males only. they are now losing members and it’s a shame–women are being pushed OUT of their organizations. Since birth certificates are required and lineage is very important, i am amazed they allow bastardized birth certificates…which will muddy the waters in the future.

Mississippi SOS suspects maggot’s EO for registering individuals in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons is registering felons who under Mississippi law are NOT eligible to vote. Also illegals in the prison system who are NOT eligible to vote and transients who have no ties to Mississippi and are NOT eligible to vote in that state. they are creating more ghost ballots that will be harvested.
FTA
Watson wrote that Mississippi jails are
being prompted to “work with other reliable sources of voter information
to assist federal prisoners with voter registration, voting by mail,
and notification of upcoming elections.”
“We are unaware of any contact with our
Office, which begs the question, which organizations are the Marshals
using to accomplish this demand?” The letter asks.
“Many outside groups performing voter
registration and vote harvesting services are partisan entities with a
history of being unreliable.
“There have been documented instances of these groups providing incorrect directions to voters.
“It is not proper for the Federal government to push partisan groups into the voting process in Mississippi or any other state.”
The letter specifically addresses concerns
that illegal immigrants in the Mississippi prison system could
potentially be registered to vote through this executive order if the
program is not closely monitored.
“Our understanding is that everyone in the
Marshals’ custody is given a form advising them of their right to
register and vote,” the letter continues.
https://slaynews.com/news/mississippi-sos-warns-biden-registering-illegal-aliens-vote-executive-order/
They tell people they have a right to vote when they don’t have a right to vote?
Don’t we have enough criminals already?
every state has different laws on whether or not convicts can vote. but they are not adhering to those laws–just handing out registrations to EVERYONE in custody. no one is checking if those registrations are legal in each state.

Excellent post again, Gail.
If one is truly interested in knowing the truth so one can take active steps to thwart the evil, one needs to understand the history and path to where we are today. Being oblivious or superficial with the truth makes one an easy target for manipulation and use by the enemy. Trusting the untrustable leads to destruction of ones self, loved ones, communities and nations.
I urge everyone to simply be a part of the solution and not the problem. Shed light on truth and live it wherever you are. It was the primary purpose of my BIMD and will be even more so in the Civilized War series.
There’s more to it, to be honest. One of the questions a lot of new moms get from pediatricians is “does your child have his or her own room” or what are the sleeping arrangements. Frankly, that’s none of their business, but they are instructed to push separate sleeping quarters. One woman I know got trounced by her pediatrician for admitting that they did a family bed at the time. (her kids are older now, so I doubt that’s the case any more.) The push for that, as well as daycare, etc., is to play with the emotional development of children. Cultures that live in one common space don’t usually have issues with emotionally unstable kids.
Your closing sentence is exactly correct. Allow me to add that both of my kids were raised in a family bed arrangement. They didn’t have emotional problems until divorce. That wrecked any advantage gained by family bed.
This detailed, cohesive linking of key historical pivot points needs to be a stand alone post, imo. I wonder if tying in secret societies, bloodlines, & even Prussiagate material (amongst other true/hidden history) could also be included in a timeline style approach?
This is Amazing Work–TY!!!
I have it saved off line so I may do so.
Set it up and let wolfie slap it in when he needs it.
Looking forward to it!!!
Yup. That died real quick. Great question.
My read – Osatan needed China Joe. Didn’t need Harvey Weinstein.
Is it my imagination or has anybody else noticed the decline in quality of the movie industry since Harvey was removed from the scene?
He was actually a moderating influence relative to radicals like “The Black List”.
When they get all things with no strings attached there’s not a lot of learning about the country they now live in…such as the language, the interstates, traffic signs.
Are we supposed to believe that they all actually have driver’s licenses? As in they in person schedules and took the written test and the onroad test? I doubt it
They don’t in many states, they might be handed out like candy in blue shizholes. It is all illegal even the lack of enforcement of the laws is illegal. They suffer no consequences for their parts in the criminality.
My family and friends in law enforcement around here arrest, charge and convict them. It is up to the state and feds after that. Their vehicles and other assets are seized and usually sold later after the case is completed.
My SIL will stop or have his officers stop them for any violation, even a broken tail light. None ever have a DL, they will try to use whatever else they have as documentation. He tells them that will not work and hauls them in for booking if the offense is bigger. If stopped for something minor they are required to just ticket, tell them to call somebody to pick them up, then call a tow truck to impound. The vehicles are later sold at auction. If the owner of the vehicle is legal, he/she has to pay all costs and fines before getting the vehicle back. If involved in an accident, the owner is on the hook for whatever happens after that.
Which is how it should be done everywhere. Once ticketed or booked ICE should be called and pick them up if they are not involved in an injury or death situation that involves major criminal charges. ICE or other Feds rarely show up to take custody of the scum according to him.
Why should ICE or any other feds ‘show up’ when they know that the thug isn’t going to be deported or even ordered to leave?
It’s just a matter of not wasting the effort.
meanwhile….in NYC…they are hunting down the American firefighters who booed Letitia James.
https://amgreatness.com/2024/03/11/new-york-citys-woke-fire-chief-launches-effort-to-hunt-down-firefighters-who-booed-letitia-james/
Now that they’ve got the training [paid for by NYFD], they should be talking to real estate agents in Florida or Texas.
They are asking the firefighters to come in instead of being hunted.
They ALL should come in together, those who booed and those who didn’t, in a show of solidarity. Are they going to fire them all?
“I am Spartacus!”
Iwould just quit and LEAVE.
no capilulation !
asking them to come in instead of being hunted ?
like that’s not a trap.
free speech.
sore head diversity hire doesn’t like it ?
they should show solidarity by not flinching.

Another American child has been tragically killed at the hands of an illegal that never should have been here.
His name is TRAVIS WOLFE. On the night of December 20, 2023 in Missouri, just one day before his 12th birthday, Travis was a passenger in his parents’ car, when an illegal woman from Venezuela, Endrina Bracho, drove the wrong way at 70+ mph causing a head-on collision.
Travis was rushed to Children’s Hospital and put on life support. His parents were taken to Mercy Hospital with broken wrists, broken ribs, a broken sternum, and more.
Travis didn’t wake up, and finally passed away March 6.
Say his name.
May GOD Bless that young boy’s soul, and comfort, protect, strengten, and guide his parents and family!!!
Amen
If it is wrong to call them “Illegals“….
When “they” come across our borders in an Illegal way, they are commiting a CRIME.
So let’s just call them what they are: CRIMINALS.
oh I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OSATAN laughing with delight
The day the nation died.
Trained monkeys.
And they’re all wearing the white of “innocence” although they rabidly support the murder of unborn (and even born) children…
The color of their clothes may be white, but their souls are colored red by the blood of innocent children…
happening today
HOLY CRAP. This guy knows how to do it.
If he dies of a “self-inflicted gunshot would” before he testifies, I think we can safely say that he was murdered.
Hopefully being protected.
Hubby was just making a delivery to one of his regular customers that has a Really Tight space to maneuver. Someone that works there–“guy’s a weiner”–regularly parks in a way that makes the squeeze that much more challenging…so Michael decides to make sure to back in next to the guy’s vehicle while he was sitting in it & watching w/ trepidation & gets w/in 6″ of the guy’s truck in the process (Hubby’s truck is about 40 feet long today). Perhaps Next Time doofus will park leaving a little more room for the delivery guys, well probably not. Apparently the guy saw him approaching on the street & rushed to pull in before Michael so he kind of did it to himself. There’s a back lot where the guy could park but he chooses to pretty much impede the delivery guys, because he’s “fat & lazy”. The guy’s co-worker there observed the parking finesse & told Hubby “I guess that’s why they pay you guys the big bucks–Whew!” Hubby was actually laughing watching the guy get nervous/pissed as he backed in…live & learn or more likely not 😉 😉
Great story! Thanks!
YW It was just a little flavor of Americana, as seen through Hubby’s eyes 🙂
please tell hubby to be extremely careful Valerie!
my son just told us about his best friend growing up (and best man at his wedding).
John didn’t go to college, instead he worked and saved and bought his own truck–doing the awful long haul runs and runs no one else wanted till he built his business. (John is now 40). One night in Ohio, he parked his rig at a truck stop and got some food and when he came back he was assaulted by a guy in the next truck! He struck John in the head with a metal hammer!! He yelled at John for parking too close to his rig. John needed stitches and a hospital stay. luckily parking lot cameras captured the attack on video and the guy was caught and arrested. there are lunatics everywhere these days with short fuses
Next Christmas, give him a pro football helmet.
The newer ones prevent most concussions. My stepson works in the lab that developed them. All the pro teams use them.
That’s outrageous! The “truck” the other guy had was a pick-up so he’s just another rude pick-up driver (they drive hubby bonkers across Michigan) & not a trucker. Thx for the heads up though for the ubiquitous head-on-a-swivel necessary nowadays 🙁
It is really a shame. GOOD Manners have taken a real nose dive since I was a kid.
🙄 yup
Yep!
Back in the day when I were a wee bairn in the 50s and 60s, truckers were considered to be the most knowledgable, courteous, and helpful drivers on the road. And “normies” knew and respected that.
Now, it’s just like the old Pioneer Stereo ads from the 70s… every man for himself, and everything’s just a fight to the death…
So much for cultural enrichment…..
Those days are long gone. Now for the most part they’re considered assholes.
I attribute it to economic and legal pressures.
That spate of laws that passed recently around the country, “Move over or slow down for emergency vehicles” I’ve personally seen result in two cars nearly run off the road and mine nearly hit, because a trucker HAD to get into the left lane right now and damn the consequences. Oh, but they could slow down? Rare is the trucker who is willing to even so much as touch the brakes if he has ANY alternative, even if it means impeding traffic as he takes 5 minutes to pass the truck in front of him at a relative speed of half a mile per hour except on slight uphill gradients, when the difference is zero. They’re certainly not going to slow down 10MPH.
I try very, very hard to remember that they’re doing a job under trying circumstances, but sometimes the sheer “fuck you” of their actions really grates.
These might be before your time, but do you remember the Andy Griffith episode “The Loaded Goat” (where a goat had eaten a few sticks of dynamite)?
There was road construction going on nearby, and all radio,etc. transmission and sources of percussive noise needed to be suppressed (as in the days of the beginning of the Interstate Highway System)… so the goat had to be handled with the greatest of care (cue Barney and Otis)…
Back in the 1960s we’d see those signs, and turn off our radio in fear of massive explosions nearby… (caused, of course, by our Philco/Ford radio with its multivibrator power supply and A REAL VACUUM TUBE in the amp 🙂 )…..
Some idiot parked at a slant taking up several feet of the space I rent. I told him if he was still there and I had to back out I would hit him (TRUE). He pulled the usual 2 yr old in adult body routine. After a LOT of maneuvering I managed to miss him by a quarter of an inch when I had to back out with the trailer.
That’s insane & infuriating. If you’d actually hit him then the hassles for you would probably be increased. Since you’re paying for that space you should ask for a refund from whoever you rent it from & they should collect the difference from the idiot!
Get some of those concrete abutment segments, and put them around the perp… then watch him try to get out… 😆
sneaky
The problem of course is carrying those things around. They weigh more than your car; they have to in order to function.
Yep, but as Douglas Adams says, that’s an SEP (Someone Else’s Problem) 🙂
You have to carry it to leave it where it will do good. After that, it’s SEP.
Sausage, rolled 🙂
Props to your hubby!
Here’s an xkcd…

THE CDC JUST REDACTED AN ENTIRE 148-PAGE PAPER THAT ON MYOCARDITIS AFTER COVID-19 “VACCINATION” — IN REPSONSE TO AN FOIA REQUEST BY THE EPOCH TIMES — h/t Marica’s blog —

DOCUMENT CLOUD:
http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24463984-cdc-moving-foia
Yours Truly is attempting to find the original, un-redacted paper. Reddit, for example, says it’s all bogus since the CDC hasn’t redacted other, similar papers.
On the other hand, the Documents Cloud site cited above does show a completely redacted paper. Would the CDC just make up a “148-page paper”, redact it, and then upload that to Document Cloud? Yours Truly is also searching The Epoch Times for an answer.
Just found this from Zachary Stieber of The Epoch Times:
Typical.
And in case anybody questions this, because it’s being reported by “Baxter Dmitri”, who is a big source of sketchy crap, he’s actually re-reporting stuff from Epoch Times.

Thank you. Is the Zachary Stieber post above from 11:41AM today, then, the “sauce” for the “CDC redacted document?”
Yes!!!
Archive.org has 3 items from that person at the epoch times on the 8th 10th and 12th march 24, and they’re all blank.

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.

Psalm 91:
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Guys, the plan IS coming together. You just have to know WHERE to look.
Example A:
“Fani Willis Conspired with Liz Cheney’s Faux J6 Committee – J6 Committee Shared Video Recordings with Fani Willis But Then Deleted the Video to Prevent Republican Lawmakers from Gaining Access To It.”
A direct quote from chairman Loudermilk’s report investigating the J 6th select committee lead by Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney.
Why this is important. It not only shows the collusion for the coming RICO case against them all. That is the surface.
Look DEEPER.
Fani Willis, in her collusion was given “evidence” by Liz Cheney and her committee, obviously bogus “evidence” BUT we the people NEVER got to see it OR even question it, because it was DELETED before the Republicans retook the House. An illegal act to be sure, but I want to SEE the evidence.
We can’t the deleted it, and even though some was recovered, it is encrypted.
Paying attention yet?
Ready? Liz and her Cabal DELETED video and files on their end.
BUT, I bet Fani did NOT. She is not SMART enough to do that, hell look at her case now. Gee, kinda makes her ongoing case to be removed in Fulton county kind of IMPORTANT doesn’t it. Fani is under investigation herself, I bet she cannot be deleting ANYTHING right now, and IS being closely monitored.
In fact, I bet someone already has ACCESS to those files….Won’t they be surprised when the crap they thought buried comes BACK to bite them. You can BET that this is also happening throughout the Cabal from E jean Carrol, to Leticia James, to Jack Smith to Alvin Bragg. ALL connected, ALL colluded with the Cabal through the Biden WH, ALL eventually leading to the top, the puppeteer.
You just need to see the TREE and not the forest. The case against the Cabal IS building, once it achieves critical mass, there will be NO stopping it. SOON. I look for big hints to be laid in the summer and the reveal in the fall.
Remember, everything that has happened from Fusion GPS, to Muller, to shampeachment 1 and 2 to Jan 6th, Covid, and Ukraine IS connected. Once the thread is pulled it ALL unravels.
Hi Barry, trouble sleeping? WAIT it will get WORSE. We KNOW who is the puppet and just who is the puppeteer. Tic toc you useless waste of air. ALL is going to be revealed.
At the last fanny hearing I think the judge said 2 weeks till the next one, that falls about the end of this week, can’t see any info about what day and time it is though.
Three days.
Hey p-rex. Just FYI, you should not read the last chapter before you read the rest of the book. You sure as heck shouldn’t spoil it for the rest of us.
But we’re glad you did.
Sorry. LOL I just see things differently. I focus on the tree and not the forest. Its just what I do. It is how i quickly came to the determination that it was ol Barry all along and not Hillary.
Some of us were right behind you but we’re stealthy. And quiet.
You?
Quiet???!!!!
😆 🙂 😀
Bring it on!
“….We KNOW who is the puppet and just who is the puppeteer….”
….
NO WE DO NOT!
We know Bia DUng is a puppet and that OBama is ALSO a puppet.
What we do NOT KNOW is who is at the top of the snake pile.
Until we irrqadicate the entire tree roots and branch, it will just grow back.
Barry is the head of the US Cabal, Soros is his advocate. We know that he has bosses in Europe and the UK, we know the names. Think of Obama as one of the Capos in the mob or one of the 5 family heads. Taking him down will set off Dominos. PATIENCE, Obama is the one right now that is EXPOSED to risk. One at a time.
Kill off the middle, the head survives, to create another middle and below.
The head MUST be eliminated…
Almost EIGHT BILLION of us; 5000 or so of them. Odds look pretty good…..
Yep.
There are at least two levels above barky and Bye,Done…
And they are in England (Fabians) and France…
There are QUADRILLIONS!!! in the vineyards of iniquity of the hillsides of France… and not just the Rothschilds… (I went to Uni with one of them… 😡 )…..

Meet the Man Trying to Change the Culture of Boeing Defense
CEO Ted Colbert says reducing groupthink is part of the path to a nimbler, networked weapons company.
r
BY MARCUS WEISGERBER
GLOBAL BUSINESS EDITOR
NOVEMBER 6, 2022
INDUSTRY
PERSONNEL
AI & AUTONOMY
NEW YORK — Ted Colbert, the CEO of Boeing Defense, Space, and Security, finds himself navigating two cultural changes.
The first is reshaping his division of the 100-year-old planemaker into a more agile builder of networked and AI-assisted weapons. The second is much more personal.
Colbert is one of only a few people of color on Boeing’s executive council, much as he was at the head table in a late-September luncheon in the 20th-floor ballroom of the Yale Club in midtown Manhattan. He is one of vanishingly few Black executives to rise to positions of prominence in the defense industry.
Every day, Colbert said, he works to help his peers “become better allies” for people of color, women, and other underrepresented groups of employees.
Boeing’s overall workforce is about 67 percent white, according to 2021 company figures, and the defense and space business is the whitest of the company’s three business units, at 74 percent. Just 6.8 percent of Boeing employees identified as Black; the company aims to boost that 20 percent by 2025.
Colbert says hiring more workers of color should be viewed “as a growth strategy” for Boeing.
“By acknowledging the importance of having a diverse, inclusive and equitable organization, you essentially attract more people to your organization and company,” he said.
When he meets with employees in his 15,000-person division, Colbert said, “I’m most concerned about” the least diverse teams “because they tend to suffer from a little bit of groupthink.”
https://www.defenseone.com/business/2022/11/meet-man-trying-change-culture-boeing-defense/379364/
This is what happened to Boeing. Woke DEI from top down
China is after an entire industry, as always. To be Number One in aviation, they must destroy aviation elsewhere.
With Joebama’s fundamental changes it can happen
I’m reminded of what Larry Ellison once said (or quoted):
It’s not enough that I win;
Everyone else must lose…
And so goes the RED Chinese Satanic Dragon philosophy and goals…
When he meets with employees in his 15,000-person division, Colbert said, “I’m most concerned about” the least diverse teams “because they tend to suffer from a little bit of groupthink.”~~~~~~
yeah, all that white man striving for excellence, following procedure and integrity kind of groupthink?
Every HR department has this crap lu rking in it.
I have to take annual “compliance training” and often it consists of slideshows or videos with a short sketch played out and you’re supposed to select the right thing for so-and-so to do.
Invariably every person except MAYBE one in the depicted work group is either a woman or a POC (Person of Color); the boss will be black or female or both; if there’s a bad guy he will be a white male.
Doing it any other way would be “discriminatory” and “non-inclusive.”

At this rate, the Dems are going to take the House without an election.
Republicans really are the stupid party
Not news to me. 😡
Upset because he thinks Biden won fair and square and others will differ with him on that. Bye!
👍 Actually don’t think it’s stupidity, more like blackmail.
Can we just agree on something — like, maybe, he’s a worthless shitweasel?
LOL 😂 👍
I live in his district so I know you’re correct.
Ironically it could become Lauren Boebert’s district. She’s moved into it and is running to replace him.
I used to say I wish I lived in her district, but now I am not so sure.
Exactly everyone seems to be jockeying for position. Reminds me of the finale laps of the Daytona 500.
We’re seeing many former MAGA supporters coming out after their failed attempts to go against PDJT.
We need to start a running tab on them.
I don’t recall Boebert ever betraying Trump, BUT she did refuse to help remove McCarthy.
Gotta oil down that track…
Oh, wait… where’s that garage door pull…..
Ermmm…. maybe the Buck stopped there?
Governor Ron, call your office.
Haven’t heard him lately, still licking his wounds maybe. On a serious level hopefully he’ll become like Texas. Send them all back with a rifle and tell them to take care of it themselves.
Those ‘Haitians’ aren’t coming from Haiti. They’ve been comfortably camped in several South American countries for a decade or more. They just see an easy way to get into the US.
had to fix a stupid typo.
are s/b aren’t.
Governor Ron, call your cojones…
There’s a certain sort of humor when people do “imitation Spanish” jokes. Like gesturing rudely and saying “tengo conejos grandes” in a guttural voice.
Whatever voice you say it in, “conejos” means “bunnies”.
follow the white rabbit 🙂
“Coney” is still valid English for rabbit, though long in disuse — it’s part of Coney Island.
And there is a pass in California’s Coastal Range called the “Conejo Grade” between Thousand Oaks and Ventura. Most people don’t realize its meaning as the “bunny slope”.
The Hobbits called them “coneys” IIRC.
That was in the Third Age.
bunny slopes are pretty much all we have in Michigan, at least compared to the Rockies & other real mountains 🙂
Bill Mitchell was so anti-Trump that I wouldn’t have expected him to report this. I guess he has to keep his followers?
You peeked into the propaganda playbook chapter titled:
“How to walk back without getting pummeled”
How to stay relevant to the people not paying attention.
That’s the previous chapter. 😂
Did we REALLY expect anything else from these transcripts? I’ll say it again this is all for show, nothing will ever become of this. R-cons just pretending to care before the (hopefully) election.
This scenario gets old quickly, for the people paying attention, not so much for the sheep. They still believe the Keystone Cops will put them all behind bars……. Yeah okay
Meanwhile the communist are still running the government.
As far as I know, the only things Congress can do are to investigate and withhold funds. Withholding funds becomes a problem when RINOs need to please their constituents who want handouts and donors who withhold from them if they don’t toe the line.
The result of investigations should be indictments and prosecutions, but when the DOJ is run by the opposition, or when crooked and cowardly Repubs are in charge, nothing happens.
Congressmen just love to brag about how, for every dollar paid in taxes, they ensured [fill in some amount more than a dollar] gets spent in their district. You’re invited to imagine people from your least favorite state having their tax dollars go directly to your community.
You wonder about the poor schmuck who couldn’t bring home the bacon while in Congress. Surely some guy is hoping his district won’t notice it’s a net loser, right?
But deficit spending lets EVERYONE bring home more money than the district sent to DC.
Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
Biden is asked a specific and difficult question that will incriminate him if he answers honestly, so he falls back on the familiar sly defense: 1. Delay; 2. Invoke his dead son for sympathy; 3. Feign memory loss. It’s all over the transcript. Classic con artist behavior. And it worked. Embarrassing for him that the anatomy of his dishonesty is laid bare for all to see, but his life is full of embarrassment. He is impervious. He got away with it. That’s the point. You’re the chump.
Good grief like it was not running interference against PDJT prior to musk taking it over !
It’s okay when they do it. /sarc

Not coincidentally, the anti-TikTok legislation now being debated on the Hill would allow the federal government to force the sale of any social media platform that interferes in elections. Just so you know what’s coming in 2025.

Judge grants Trump extension in blow to Jack Smith
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/judge-grants-trump-extension-blow-jack-smith
FTA –
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial granted the former president’s legal team a 10-day extension to make filings in the case, despite opposition to the motion from special counsel Jack Smith.
Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ruled that Trump may file replies to motions by March 24, 2025.
The ruling came as a blow to prosecutors, who had argued that the schedule “has been in place for months” and that Trump’s legal team says it needs more time based on circumstances it had been aware of for years, such as Trump’s criminal trial in New York, which is scheduled to begin on March 25.
Trump is expected to attend a hearing on Thursday where his attorneys will argue that the classified documents case should be tossed.
Poor Jack. His ice cream cone is melting all over his hand.

Sources better be wrong. Carson is not much life insurance. Kari Lake is scarier. So is Steve Bannon. Either one would terrify the enemy into letting DJT live.
This is probably the first of many “run it up the flagpole and see who salutes” stratagems over the next several months. That approach was the forerunner of opinion polls. From my perspective it is too early to have any choice set in stone.
I’m OK with it!
They couldn’t use the “two old white guys” excuse, and they couldn’t make racist accusations either. It would be hard to make a case that Carson was a diversity placeholder since he was picked by Trump before for his cabinet.
My questions are who is Jasmine, who are her sources, and what makes them credible. The report could turn out to be true, but “sources” could be anyone. I’ve seen enough claims to be skeptical about those made by people I don’t know and trust.
That would make me so happy!
His heart is in the right place. But will he FIGHT?
Yes, he will.
Some people are loud, aggressive, mean fighters. They are scary.
Some people are quiet, implacable, immovable fighters. I’ve known a few. They are terrifying.
Ben Carson has not, no matter what, moved ONE INCH from his position on Donald Trump. Not a waffle, not a prevarication, not a word. Think about what that tells us about him.

Well, I figured out why I was having such a problem yesterday with something totally “trivial” when lighting-up my second ssh “server”.
On server bb, I’d naturally be logged-in as user bb123 (the one for physical access). I’d plug in a thumbdrive to transfer keys to a client computer, then I’d then change user to user bb456 (the ssh user) and generate a keypair. Then I’d try to transfer the key to the thumbdrive, and the computer wouldn’t recognize the thumbdrive.
The problem seems to be that the thumbdrive has directory/file permissions from bb123. I should be able to chmod my way out of this — probably by logging back in as bb123 and making the thumbdrive’s directory promiscuous, probably as /media/bb123.
So many things get better after “sleeping on it”, but it plays hell with your time budget.
This is further complicated at both the source and destination.
The key for bb456 is id_rsa in the .ssh subdirectory of /home/bb456, which typically can only be seen by bb456. Back in the day, directories in /home weren’t locked down for other users — I remember discussions about “this is nuts, we should have changed this ages ago” when the change was made.
Thumbdrives are typically formatted with some version of FAT, which cannot handle real *NIX file permissions, so it is assumed to have the permissions of whoever plugged it in. These are not real permissions, so they are difficult to manipulate with the regular *nix tools for manipulating same. If you try to change permissions (that are assumed, not real), it will say they are changed; then, when you look at it again, they are not changed.
Accordingly, you have to generate the keys in your ssh clients (bb456 and bb789) — which, btw, will create the relevant .ssh subdirectories with permissions as well. You can just change users to go from one user to another. Then, your best bet is to reboot back into your physical user, plug in the thumbdrive, go to the place on it that you want to stash keys, and “sudo cp /home/bb456/.ssh/id_rsa /stashkeys/bb456/id_rsa” (you have to make any necessary directories in advance). Trying to log in as bb456, changing directories to ~/.ssh, and going “cp id_rsa /media/bb123/USB20FD/stashkeys/bb456/id_rsa” WILL NOT WORK.
So, with all the gyrations going around about firewalls, keys, sshd configuration, and all that…..the thing that seems like it would be the easiest, most trivial thing, turns out to be a bit of a sticky wicket.
Have you tried just unplugging the [promiscuous] thumb drive and plugging it back in for the new user, and letting the crazy [media-promiscuous] system handle it?
As a matter of fact, I did. Even after ejecting, and plugging in to a different USB port, the crazy [media-promiscuous] system wants to attribute it to the initial user and not the ones that have been switch-user’d.
The only way the thumbdrive would work right was for user bb123. It was ok to switch-user to users bb456 and bb789 to generate the keys, but I ended up having to be user bb123 (the one that the system boots into) to run the thumbdrive.
You could switch user and chown, no? Or does this user actually still exist somewhere else?
In this case, bb123, bb456, and bb789 are all real users on the bb system. It boots into bb123, and I change user into bb456 and bb789.
The thumbdrive seems to be stuck on bb123. I suspect that I could use mount to change its behavior (see man section “Non-superuser mounts”). Because its permissions are illusory and not baked-into the filesystem, chown doesn’t seem to work.
I do have situations where a drive gets mounted as root but I am running as user and find myself unable to write files to it, but sudo chown seems to fix the problem permanently (even subsequent mountings of the drive).
It probably doesn’t hurt that Qubes by default creates one user for every VM, and that user’s name is “user”. (Dom0 being the exception; you can set the user name to whatever you want on installation.)
Would that be a FAT-formatted drive? Like I said, if I’d reformatted the thumbdrive to ext4 before I started playing with things, I doubt I would have had this level of problems.
Hah, yes that’s a point too.
FAT and other Micro$haft formats I have to mount with -o group=1000,user=1000. I wrote my scripts to just determine the filesystem type (lsblk has a way to do that I’m too lazy to look up right now) and mount it with that if it’s FAT, FAT32 or NTFS.
I’ve recently gone through and added accommodation for ZFS and that is a VERY different animal; the drive knows where it wants to mount and you have to let it do so and remount it elsewhere (and it will remember THAT). So my script lets it go where it wants, then changes the mount point to what I asked for when I invoked the script. That way I can freely organize every VM in a way that makes sense for it and not worry about where I was when I set up the ZFS drive.
And as a slight aside, when I do create an ext4 thumbdrive, I format the drive directly, one partition…none of this usba/usba1 nonsense. Between that and ext4 itself it confuses the heck out of most systems’ automounting. Joe Bloe the Windows user literally has no idea why my thumbdrive won’t work; if he actually has awareness of how to look at it it looks like a totally unformatted or corrupted thumbdrive, since he can’t even see partition on it.
The funny thing is, Linux can deal with so many filesystems and generally uses defaults so well you don’t have to think about them much….until you try something weird that is outright impossible on other systems (like manipulating ssh keys as files).
I’ll go one further on the single-partition thumbdrive road….I’ve got the “big iron” (6T spinning rust drives) formatted as one single-partition ext4 each.
Mine are on a NAS and thus ZFS.
I’m not sure what the surface layers of hard drive platters are made out of, but it looks silvery metallic. Not rust (iron oxide) any more.
I dissassembled a bunch of drives I couldn’t wipe for whatever reason and only the very oldest of them–a 120 MB monster–had a rusty tinge to the coating.
I’ve yet to figure out how to physically destroy the platters. Maybe pay some guy with a welder to puddle them?
I’ll probably get there in a while. Once ssh is working reliably, I’ll be moving into NFS and moving large amounts of data around to sort wheat from chaff. After I have a bunch of “good stuff”, I’ll probably look into getting/building a NAS to deal with it.
By-the-by….I looked into LVM back around 2015 or so. It would theoretically enable you to lump all your storage together and hand it out in manageable slices. I stopped dealing with it when it came out that a failure of one physical disk in your setup could corrupt pieces of your entire LVM setup — acting as a sort of “reverse RAID”.
ZFS looks more promising when I get to that point.
Some forms of RAID are actually that bad. Let’s stripe a bunch of disks together to make One Big Volume (Raid 0) with MULTIPLE points of failure. That one is WORSE than JBOD.
ZFS has things corresponding to Raid 5 and 6 (one or two parity drives respectively) but with write through so it’s more robust. It even has three parity drives as an option (which would be Raid 7 but there’s no such thing).
I could probably fix the “assumed permissions” thing by reformatting the thumbdrive in a native *nix filesystem (e.g. ext4). Then it would have real permissions.
Gold did drop on Tuesday, but after several days in a row of going up, that’s not a surprise.
Seeing this stuff two days in a row.
Too damn funny…
I’m glad she’s investigating. That said, she’s too young and inexperienced for me to trust her judgment.
She says, “I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact [should be “theory”] that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man.” That’s exactly what Candace is doing: staking her entire professional reputation on this one story by pushing it so hard.
I wonder if she talked with any respected investigators or journalists on the Right before going at this so hard.
The story might never be conclusively proven correct. In that case, Candace will forever have the reputation of “queen of the ‘Brigitte is a man’ theory,” which is not exactly a professional recommendation. She is taking a risk, which could be a positive, depending on how one looks at it. I doubt she will be heralded as the person in America who took down the Macrons, because I doubt that is going to happen.
I’m not criticizing her; I just think she is not on the professional level that she wants to be or presents herself to be.
Candace is a bit over-the-top, on this.
Totally agreed.
I think there’s about an 80% chance she’s right, but a much lower chance that she can prove the 80%. That’s not a safe BIG bet, IMO. Especially when her hypothesis is that the other side will go to great lengths to keep the secret.
I don’t know about this one. The price of Boeing (BA) last Sep was between 224 in early Sep and 190 on the last day of Sep. It is presently at 184. But in 2024 it had a high of 267.50. If he was trading on inside information it was a pretty average result. Depending on what time of the month the sale took place.

WGTTs
Locked and loaded….
Isn’t this when Scott or Kalbo shows up w/ the crazy plane chic!
It’s possible.
I always thought that either that pair isn’t that big or they were uncomfortably smooshed under that sports bra.
Free the Crazy Plane Lady Twins!!!
“I always thought that either that pair isn’t that big or they were uncomfortably smooshed under that sports bra.”
ditto LOL
I think that chic’s ‘melodious” voice mesmerizes some susceptible types LOL
Mind you other parts of the superstructure were pretty nice. And maybe unsmooshed the twins are Weapons Grade. But from I saw there was absolutely NO jiggle/bounce
Wait would jiggle/bounce be a WGTTs requirement? I mean I know that movement draws the eye & all…
I’m pretty sure I’ve told the “Jiggling Jugs” story here before…
When they’re as immobile as the ones on a mannequin something’s not right. Maybe just a cast iron sports bra.
OK you’re reminding me of a story in our family that I can’t tell as well as Hubby but it still cracks us all up.
When Josiah was a gradeschooler at one point I was holding him on the couch & he reached up & copped a feel & I was Pissed. I told my husband after he came home from work so he had a big talk with the lad.
Well sometime later Michael took all the kids & dropped our oldest son off for basketball practice & took the other 3 kids Christmas shopping in a nearby shopping center killing time until practice was over.
They were making their way through a department store & as usual Josiah took off & wouldn’t respond to his name being called so Michael’s looking around while trying to corral the other 2 little kids, probably like 1st & 3rd graders then…
Finally he sees Josiah who’s climbed up on the platform containing a female mannequin & when he catches his dad’s eye reaches up to cuff the boob while yelling out “Fake Boobs are OK, right?”
Of course at that moment another mom from the Christian school walks into the scene to catch all the classy Curren chaos! LOL
LMAO!!!
SEE??? No matter what size those boobs, and even not being REAL, they were WGTTs!
No doubt. & our son’s human nature pushing whatever boundaries life attempted to impose, per usual 😉

That’s a fairly fun read–TY.
My daughter inherited a well-endowed maternal profile (from her grandma, ahem) but was Extremely Modest throughout her life, Never capitalizing on her assets. Just before HS graduation a nearby locker mate admitted that she’d always hated her because of her “big boobs” & she was so jealous. Then she realized that my daughter was a very sweet, nice person so basically apologized for hating her…hmm
My sister had a roommate in college who was well-endowed. I had heard that she had breast surgery some time before we met. She seemed nice, and had a little more than plenty, and (in the back of my mind) I was trying to figure out a way to say that she would probably have been fine without augmentation….
….and, then, I found out what kind of breast surgery. What I saw was “half-off” of what she had started with.
Wow. I’m guessing back then it would have taken a special guy, AND a special girl, to have that conversations transparently. Vive la difference!
Oh, certainly I never had the conversation! I was merely eavesdropping shamelessly, as I am prone to do.
Her original plan was to take off two-thirds, but she “chickened-out” because she was afraid she’d be unrecognizable.
Well the twins can be a pretty defining characteristic, especially when they’re memorable/unignorable!
Thanks for the mammaries…
They are definitely the gift that keeps on giving!
Are you the younger sibling there? My younger brother, 2 years younger, was a pain that way to me & girlfriends whenever there was a sleepover LOL
I’m about five years older than my sister.
Ah, I have no older brothers so this is uncharted territory in my experience 😉
Mars vs Venus mysteries abound for us all though!
There’s a lot of mystery here. She could be a C-cup wearing a very padded push-up bra. Or she could have really big boobs.
Or she could have a Photoshop bra.
Lol, true.
I refuse to join Instagram to find out, but one picture on her page shows enough “down low” that it’s clear to me they’re BIG.
What they’re not is TOO BIG.
“What they’re not is TOO BIG.”
Lol. That, dear sir, is an issue of personal taste. Ask me how I know 😉
Here, hopefully, is the full image:
LOL!
No idea how accurate this is.
Trump wins the Georgia primary 🇺🇸
So does the first post about how he’s only a handful of delegates away, date from BEFORE or AFTER Georgia was called?
I’m not sure. The GWP link I posted about Trump winning Mississippi says this:
Not sure either. No news stories posting he’s clinched the necessary number of delegates as of yet. That includes Truth Social. Might be we are just ahead of the curve once again. 😮
Well now he has, having won Washington state
Trump only needs 37 more delegates to clinch the GOP nomination. Someone said it could happen tonight. The Left: 😱…😂
