And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.

Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

And Auntie DePat’s requests:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

JEREMIAH 20:10-13

10For I hear many whispering. Terror is on every side! “Denounce him! Let us denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, watching for my fall. “Perhaps he will be deceived, then we can overcome him, and take our revenge on him.” 11But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble, they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. 12O LORD of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance upon them, for to thee have I committed my cause. 13Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from the hand of evildoers.

PSALMS 18:2-7

1I love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies. 4The cords of death encompassed me, the torrents of perdition assailed me; 5the cords of Sheol entangled me, the snares of death confronted me. 6In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.

SATIRE!

Thank you, De Pat, for bringing us a week of content-filled and enjoyable posts!

cthulhu

Today’s garden isn’t all roses, but it does have quite a few. It is sometimes known as Shaw’s Garden, being named after Henry Shaw — who you may recall was the identity used by Henry Gondorff, in turn played by Paul Newman, in the documentary The Sting.

While it may already be somewhat familiar to our esteemed De Pat, I figured it would be nice to share it because of the delight new eyes can bring.

cthulhu

Do you have to be able to explain “the wire” to work at Shaw’s Garden?

The ragtime is, of course, a tipoff.

I hope you like it. I thought it was very nice.

Social Media Users Light Up AOC After She Doubles Down on Her Claims “RICO is Not a Crime”

Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) on Thursday doubled down on her claims that RICO is not a crime.

Biden Crime Family whistleblower Tony Bobulinski on Wednesday testified before Congress in a hearing on Joe Biden’s international influence-peddling scheme with Hunter Biden’s former business associates.

At one point, Democrat thought leader and former barmaid AOC demanded Bobulinski name crimes he personally witnessed Joe Biden commit. 

Bobulinski named off several crimes including RICO – Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act – a federal law that allows for sweeping penalties.

In a desperate attempt to defend Joe Biden, AOC absurdly claimed RICO isn’t a crime. 

Harvard Law School grad and GOP Senator Ted Cruz schooled AOC.

“This is bizarre. RICO—the Racketeer Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961–1968—is most assuredly a crime,” Ted Cruz said. 

“It often results in massive felony sentences. And yet AOC —eager to defend Joe Biden—insists it’s not a crime,” Cruz added.

AOC doubled down on her stupidity:

“Wrong!

RICO is a statute under which specific crimes may be considered – kidnapping, robbery, arson, etc.

You need to name the crimes in order to substantiate RICO.

So… since you’re the expert, what RICO crimes and evidence does House GOP have? Since they don’t seem to know.”

The former barmaid got pummeled by a bunch of lawyers and conservative commentators.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

They are called predicate offenses. You used to have that smart guy run your account. What happened to him?

— Cernovich (@Cernovich) March 21, 2024

Predicate acts under RICO crime by Biden crime family include wire fraud & money laundering.

— Jericho (@JerichoXVI) March 21, 2024

Her first problem was not realizing that she doesn’t know the law and not getting advice before using that argument. She “doesn’t know that she doesn’t know.”

Her second problem was doubling down, exhibiting unbelievable obstinacy for the world to see. I don’t expect to see any admission of error, either.

How could any serious adult woman allow her voice to have that nails on the chalkboard crossed with a ditzy chick vibe? What an embarASSment!

cthulhu

Are we talking about something like this?

(I can’t see the tweet.)

Valerie Curren

The tweet has a 15 second clip of AOC doing her usual intonation while side by side there are various clips of some bulldog that does random weird vocalizations that are possibly easier on the ear than AOC. Any clip of AOC will give some example of her “tone” that I find so hard to reconcile in a “serious” adult woman…

Your example video has the woman being Way more subtle than how AOC strikes me…though the “up tone” stuff she discusses would likely apply even more so to Christine Blasey Ford, who may have been schooled in childish vocal tone as a way to disarm others & make her appear less calculating & manipulative than she actually was, iirc…

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Excellent description. Yes, AOC does not use upspeak, but frankly she should, because then she would appear less cock-sure of her own stupid thoughts.

AOC uses a kind of cross between a valley girl and Obama-speak, in little-girl voice, and it’s annoying as hell.

They’re calling Apple a monopoly, yet the smartphone market is really a duopoly, with Android/Samsung being the other major part. Lumia phones (which I though had a much better UI, but were basically shut out from most apps, thanks to the others) were basically killed off…

Garland is just doing the best he can to ruin things and blow smoke… straight from the pit of HELL… To hide even more evil that he and his DEMONS are doing, no doubt…

Wonder how much money his useless charade will cost the taxpayers this time…

Apple has been standing up for “privacy” after Tim Cook got burned badly, when he backed down on letting NGOs rifle through people’s iPhones (more “public-private partnership” used to outsource government censorship). I almost left Apple completely at the time. I think this is payback for growing a spine.

-with his Election Integrity task
-with the Pandemic task
-with his lawful and mandatory task as Vice President on Jan 6 to stop election fraud by refusing to certify fraudulent electors,
-by changing the rules in order to ignore the fraud.

He also falsely accused President Trump of wrongdoing.

Pence knows damned good and well he committed all these travesties and abuses of power.

Let’s be accurate. It was Mafia Nancy that changed the rules, not Pence.

Of course, he’s guilty of going along with the scheme. He always had the constitutional authority to refuse to sell out by refusing to certify those groups that he knew were being called back by their respective states.

DP – here is the deal on that colon cancer article.

A new type of bacteria was found in 50% of colon cancers. Many were aggressive cases.

They’re covering up for the JAB.

Read this quote and you’ll see how they’re doing it.

*****************

Colon cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and is expected to kill more than 53,000 people in the nation in 2024, according to the American Cancer Society.

Rates are rising sharply among younger people: The percentage of people younger than 55 diagnosed with colon cancer almost doubled between 1995 and 2019, leaping from 11% to 20% of cases. What’s more, these cases are often diagnosed at later, more aggressive stages.

Experts are still struggling to explain the shift.

“Colorectal cancer is very treatable when caught early, but the cases in younger people are increasing and we don’t know why,” said Dr. Flavio Rocha, a surgical oncologist and physician in chief at the Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute, who was not involved in the study.

The new research doesn’t answer that question; it’s far too early to implicate this bacteria in the rise in cases in younger people. What’s more, most of the patients in the study were over the age of 50.

But the findings raise “the question as to whether there are elevated levels of this bacterium in young onset colorectal cancer which is on the rise globally for unknown reasons,” said co-lead study author Susan Bullman, an assistant professor of human biology at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle.

Once you read it, you realize that it’s diversionary.

scott467

““Colorectal cancer is very treatable when caught early, but the cases in younger people are increasing and we don’t know why,””

_________

Well, let’s put our thinking caps on, and pretend like we have advanced degrees in… anything, really.

Now, if the cases are increasing, and this represents a change in the data, it seems reasonable to ask, what have all of the younger people been exposed to, that they weren’t exposed to, before the data started showing a notable increase in colorectal cancer?

There must be something. Something that they all have in common. Something they’ve all done, or eaten, or breathed, or otherwise been exposed to in say… oh I don’t know, the past three years, give or take?

What could it possibly be?

What big thing has happened in the past three or four years, that affected practically the whole planet?

Think hard… and no cheating — no looking over at those empty vaxx vials — I want you to puzzle this out on your own 🤣

“The percentage of people younger than 55 diagnosed with colon cancer almost doubled between 1995 and 2019, leaping from 11% to 20% of cases.”

______________

Where are the graphs from 2019 to the present?

There are TONS of graphs if you do a search (“graph percentage of people with colon cancer”) and then click ‘images’, but I’ve clicked on more than 10 of them now, and they’re all OLD, circa 2006, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018, etc.

Nothing that would show 2019 to the present so far.

My grandmother died of this horrible cancer.

I have LONG advocated that colon cancer screening should begin at age 35. My ex-husband got it at 40. He has now worn a colostomy bag for almost 20 years. Totally preventable cancer with appropriate screening.

I have also known for a long time that improper care of one’s mouth relates to all kinds of health problems.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

My guess is that the bacteria and the disease are orthogonal (unrelated), and this is just the scientific version of the Mamet principle, reinforced by the fact that “not knowing” the right things = “money to investigate and find the acceptable answer”.

In other words, the bacterium is simply more commonly found in the gut in younger people – and probably always was. So what they’re doing is looking for anything which is not the jab, which can be associated with the growing problem.

cthulhu

Today disappeared into a mass of confusion.

It started with a relatively simple project. I’ve been scanning stuff and getting rid of paper copies, using an HP extended inkjet (what they used to call a mopier).

While the quality is nice, this is infuriating and slow — among other things, every time you start using it as a scanner, it tests the ink levels in all its cartridges…..which helps HP sell ink, of course. Then it tests the length of every page. If it scans both sides, it feeds through 100% on one side, then sucks the page back into the document feeder to scan the other side.

So I saw one of these guys on sale at Woot on the cheap — https://computers.woot.com/offers/ambir-am-ds820ix-b-ambir-imagescan-pro-820ix-20pp?ref=w_cnt_odet_pic_2#fullsize-1 — these are the kinds of scanners you frequently see in medical offices — you can even run ID cards through them. They read both sides on one pass…..and this one was something like $70.

So I get it, and start working on the fine print. No Linux support.

So I go looking around for an old Windows box I can devote to this thing and discover a Windows 8.1 laptop that I don’t seem to have run since 2017. Just the thing to be the basis for a “scanning center”!

Except it hasn’t been updated since 2017, 8.1 is out of support, its DNS is set to some wanked-out nonfunctional IP addy…..remember my previous observation that there are only four browser engines behind all common browsers? Webkit and Gecko no longer support Windows 8.1…..so it’s now running the PaleMoon browser (based on Goanna), and I got the DNS straightened out, so now it could update what it would update….

So I’ve been a bit scrambled and have repeatedly lost track of time.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Did you try the scanner with S.A.N.E.?

A lot of scanners that are not listed as working on Linux work perfectly with S.A.N.E. and X.S.A.N.E.

http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html

cthulhu

Not yet.

I already own a nominally useful Win 8.1 laptop, and I want to exercise all of the scanner’s functions with it to see what using SANE will lose me (e.g. programmable buttons on the scanner). Mind you, this Win 8.1 laptop is teetering on the edge of running Ubuntu MATE in the near future, as I deal with Microsmurf’s BS…..

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Good – you’ve still got options!

cthulhu

And, actually, they offer Linux drivers by request — which I’ll probably request tomorrow.

cthulhu

Oho! The plot thickens. I called-in to get the Linux drivers — which the guy told me were “rough”. In the course of talking further, I was told that a bunch of their units were being sold in an unauthorized manner and, accordingly, was ineligible for tech support. Unsurprisingly, mine was just such a unit.

So, I may or may not get the Linux drivers….which sounds like no great loss. But even more amusing is that the company is petty enough to inconvenience its end-users for some clusterfark in their distribution channel.

Mind you, this still puts them ahead of the Malignancy that is Microsmurf, but it’s a shame that they are going that route…..it seldom supports a company’s long-term success.

cthulhu

I’ve got most of it working now — I recently scanned a 4-page 2-sided document. I just have to streamline where it is saving it.

cthulhu

….and also the resolution, and the name, and whether it creates pdfs or searchable pdfs…..

Cuppa Covfefe

If it pops out .bmps or .pngs or .tiffs, chances are there are third-party freeware utilities out there to generate pdfs, etc…

Cuppa Covfefe

And if they don’t, you end up I.N.S.A.N.E. 🙂
(couldn’t resist)…

Sad that 8.1 is in play, that’s almost as bad as twisted-sister (Vista)… Win7 was sort of the “new XP” as far as stablity goes (and yep, needs a “walled off garden” or a “well-lit firewall” to keep it safe anymore)…

Drivers… the bane of most computer users/owners/managers…

cthulhu

Just to put this all into perspective…..

In the living room, on one of those classic knock-down tables with the folding legs, from left-to-right is: the new scanner, the Win8.1 laptop (for the scanner) in front of a 24″ monitor, the laptop I’ve been using for the ssh project, the green pi that I use for banking (driving the big monitor), the micropc that is the next ssh project victim (being used as a mousepad) in front of my “scratchpad” router (needs reflashed with openwrt and reconfigured), and a large power strip with the pi’s keyboard balanced on it.

In printer-land, about fifteen feet behind me, I have: the color scanner/printer/fax/copier, a black-and-white laserprinter sitting on top of the first ssh project (AKA printserver), and a paper shredder. On a shelf underneath is a spare scanner/printer/fax/copier. Hanging off the backside of this is another large flatscreen monitor (laying flat), mouse, and keyboard for fine-tuning the first ssh project computer.

Here where I am sitting, I have my daily driver computer, a 27″ flatscreen monitor, and a pile of paperwork to my right — on which is perched the other ssh project control laptop.

I need to get stuff working reliably so I can drastically reduce redundancy.

That makes no sense at all, so I am forced to assume that you’re up to your usual sarcastic shenanigans.

Now, now…. I used to work at HP, before it became HP-INK (which is what is keeping them afloat now) then spun off into the real HP, Agilent (OK, that piece is now spinning off into mediocrity “thanks” to Bill Sullivan et. al.)… Shrinter is probably an answer to “Mopier” in the land of marketingese… I wonder if they get any discount on HP “Instant Ink”?

I think this was originally on the onion or one of those satire sites; maybe even ThinkGeek had it as an April Fool’s item… (who could ever forget “Tribbles and Bits” or “My First Bacon” ? 🙂 )…

Having said all that, someone at TU Darmstadt devised a way to join all those strips back together, so that the crosscut (crisscut?) shredders are the way to go now…

So much for the paperless office 🙂 which is still five years away (after 40 or more years)…

I was just on with a Chinese rep for HP yesterday. I guess my little HP C4680 which still works perfectly, has no way to speak an Apple MacBook Pro.

No drivers are current, and the printer does not seem to be recognized by the WiFi, laptop or phone. There seems to be an old ethernet cable, so having little memory of this, maybe the printer was hooked up to my Apple Mac, and the Mac was hooked to the wifi and therefore the little printer worked?

Dunno. All of the HP drivers and software have viewable zeros and slash marks through the icons.

1.5 hours lost to a Chinese gal named Holly. At least I can use it to copy…

Maybe I need an updated shrinter.

You might have a look at this article:

Having problems installing older HP Printers on later macOS versions?

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Knowledge-Base/Having-problems-installing-older-HP-Printers-on-later-macOS/ta-p/7946104

Check if your printer is in this list (it is, I checked):
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465#HP

HP is not supporting older printers very well anymore (just take a look at their “Instant Ink” debacle to see that they’re more interested in new customers and making money than serving their existing customers), but, having said that, some folks in the Apple Community have managed to solve printing/scanning problems, as the article I quoted shows. There are also forums on Macrumors and other Apple-oriented sites that could be helpful.

Apple has made some major changes in its driver models as well, so which OS you are on on your Mac can make quite a bit of difference… [Just as with windoze, going to 64-bit has made a new driver architecture necessary]…

Another thing that HP does is try to restrict you to using only their ink, via firmware updates for their printers…

There may be generic solutions available, but sometimes they will only support one or two rather than all functions your printer offers… e.g. print and fax, but no scan, or scanning, but with limited options… AirPrint used to be available, but I think that got killed off too (it used a transport model called “Bonjour” which some folks say is a security problem… fix one thing, break another)…

The article about should be worth a look, in any case…

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

One thing my old Xubuntu install had was a decent scanner driver for my HP combo scanner/printer. The substitute I had to find for debian VMs (actually only one VM deals with the printer) is a user-belligerent piece of dreck and the other options (including SANE) wouldn’t work at all. (The HP driver for printing is the same; it’s scanning that is a pain in the ass.) The scanner itself had one paper jam too many in the feeder so I am forced to use the flatbed.

cthulhu

I’m getting really good vibes off the scanner itself. The ugliest bit so far is rejuvenating an 8.1 laptop mothballed since 2017. It doesn’t help that I’m driving on the scanner bit and haven’t addressed the rehab in an organized way….

cthulhu

I remember back in the old days when printing was a problem (and scanning was basically unknown). In my CPA firm days, I was “print boy” (a la Mel Brooks) for keeping the office printers printing tax returns, which required a specific font cartridge…..then HP printers started doing HPPCL……and, finally, printers just took pdfs.

Way back when, I owned my own Laserjet II, with the tax font cartridge — IIRC, the printer was about $1500 and the font cartridge was an additional $250. Both ended up as scrap. If I’d bought gold, instead, I’d have about five ounces that would be worth $10K today.

But I wouldn’t have had to learn nearly as much about obsolete hardware, nor would I have been able to do the returns I did….

cthulhu

One printer I absolutely loved was a dot matrix Anadex (AKA Printronix) tractor-feed, paper from bottom. You could print an entire box of greenbar paper at one go. Thing weighed about 80 pounds. You could print five copy carbonless forms on the thing. I once owned two of them and scrapped ’em both because you couldn’t get the ribbons any more.

Today, I would still have to part ’em for the linear bearings and stepper motors. They were the best of their time, but their time is long past. Who even recognizes greenbar paper anymore? Or tear-off tractor-feed letter-sized paper?

Cuppa Covfefe

I probably have a couple of boxes of that…

Somewhere…..

The dot-matrix impact printers are eye-wateringly expensive anymore. I have two (C532dn and B432dn) OKI laser printers (OK, LED) that together are only slightly less expensive than an OKI impact would be. Then again, OKI toner (I use compatible) makes up for any “savings”…

Wonder if anyone remembers what a decollater is? Or multipart carbon greenbar 11×17)… Or a paper jam therewith 🙂

The alternating colors of that (presumably) greenbar paper made reading certain things much easier, to me 🙂

They helped programmers too… not to mention the fabled Snoopy Calendars from way back when, printed on 11×17 greenbar (or the back, if you didn’t want the bars…)…..

Speaking of losing track of time, the real time clock on the 8.1 laptop was saying a random time in 2019. If it’s got a coin battery, it may need replacing…..but it seems like it has some capacitative pseudo-battery that may run off the main Li-ion. Somewhat amusingly, I dropped it into a command line to set the date and time.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

My laptop’s clock gains about ten (or even twelve) seconds every minute. When it’s online, it actually runs a cron job every minute to correct the clock.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I don’t know if you read my comment to Gail yesterday, where I talked about the differences between ancient flat earth and today’s brand of flat earth. Today’s is dumber.

I do see the verses cited as signs that the writers of those verses thought the Earth was flat. But judging from the illustration, the people who made the graphic are going with Today’s Flat Earth; there’s no mechanism for the sun to drop below the horizon.

Valerie Curren

I’m sorry I missed you conversation with Gail on that, but that’s a nice catch. Here’s another graphic that seems to be claiming credibility by having multiple “religions” or societies buying in to the concepts, fwiw…

well, I saw it a few minutes ago but it’s disappeared, if I see it again I’ll copy it to you in another reply if this one is no longer editable 🙂

I forgot about that. I guess, as always, it’s different strokes for different folks 🙂

GA/FL

Bible also refers to ‘four corners of the earth’
https://www.gotquestions.org/corners-of-the-earth.html

Valerie Curren

TY for this, which gives a nice treatment to the topic, ending w/ this:

Skeptics have argued that expressions like corners of the earth prove that the Scriptures depict a flat or square earth. But the Bible’s use of this idiomatic phrase was never intended to mean that the earth has literal, squared-off corners. The writers of the Bible used figures of speech just like we do today. Shakespeare wrote, “All the world desires her; / From the four corners of the earth they come, / To kiss this shrine, this mortal-breathing saint” (The Merchant of Venice, II:vii), but no one assumes that The Bard believed in a flat earth. We understand his use of poetic descriptions.

All languages have idioms. When we say we have “the best of both worlds,” we refer to enjoying “an ideal situation” and not “two worlds.” When poetic portions of the Bible speak of “the corners of the earth,” they refer to the entire world.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Which is fine.

But just as bad as the people who hold the Bible to such literal standards in order to diss it, are those who believe it’s inerrant, take it literally, and insist (on reading the four corners phrase) that since it’s inerrant, the world must be flat. Despite all the evidence that it is not. And a host of other issues too.

Valerie Curren

There are multiple passages in Scripture where literary terms are used & it can be quite confusing to take them literally. Though I don’t dig into original languages in every instance, but I do keep in the back of my mind “a thousand years is as a day and a day is as a thousand years” so that recognizing that choosing a superficial, literal reading of Scripture may very well mean one is erroneous in their understanding. Approaching Scripture with humility is always in order, imo 🙂

para59r

Perhaps India confused everyone… (on purpose)
While not in full agreement with this vid that emphasis Puranic times, it’s just like Rishis to purposefully confuse people in the process of wowing them.

GiveSendGo donation campaign for Trump:
Currently Raised:USD $ 132,619

I don’t know how legit this is and who is behind this but Mark Finchem is promoting this:

https://www.givesendgo.com/ForTrump

BE A PART OF THE LARGEST CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN IN HISTORY!!!

The American people believe in Donald Trump and his vision for America. Today, he needs our help more than ever. The imposition of a $454 million bond by New York Attorney General Letitia James is a move that could potentially lead to a forced sale of real estate assets. The banks are refusing to lend to President Trump. We see this as an attempt to financially corner our President. We’re not going to stand by and allow that. So we the people are going to offer a loan ourselves. 

This campaign will be segmented into 5 separate tiers.

(As each tier is reached the goal will be updated to the next tier)

Tier 1: $10 Million

Tier 2: $50 Million

Tier 3: $100 Million

Tier 4: $250 Million

Tier 5: $454 Million 

This campaign is our way of standing with Trump, just as he has stood with us. Your contribution is an interest-free loan to the Trump Organization, that if he loses all appeals it will be repaid in a reasonable time. It’s a testament to our American bond and belief in President Trump’s leadership. Every dollar you contribute will be paid back*, and if Trump’s appeal is successful, your funds will be refunded* upon that judgement and the return of his bond.

This is neither a donation nor a contribution to his campaign for President of the United States. This is a show of support, a sign that we, the majority of Americans, stand with President Trump. Let’s rally for Trump. Let’s show that we, the American people, are with him all the way.

This campaign was not created by the Trump Organization and has no affiliation with the Trump Organization and it will be at their discretion to accept it or decline. If the Trump Organization declines this loan all funds will be returned to all lenders minus only payment transaction fees and minus any optional donations to GiveSendGo.

THIS IS NOT A CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION TO DONALD TRUMP AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS CAMPAIGN. THIS IS A LOAN TO THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO STAND WITH OUR PRESIDENT AGAINST THIS UNJUST RULING WHILE IT IS ON APPEAL.

Thank you for standing up for President Trump, who has stood for the American People.

May God bless and protect us all.

Should President Trump lose his appeal and have to forfeit this loan it will be paid back with no interest within a reasonable time by the Trump Organization IF THEY CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS.

TERMS OF THIS LOAN:

You must be an American citizen to participate in this GiveSendGo.com campaign. 

All money will be held in an escrow account by GiveSendGo.com until the Trump Organization accepts or declines the loan. If the Trump Organization declines the loan, it will be returned upon written notification of the Trump Organization to GiveSendGo.com.

If President Trump loses all appeals the money will be repaid within a reasonable time at no interest by the Trump Organization.

If President Trump wins his appeal and receives this money back it will be returned to GiveSendGo.com. Upon receiving those funds, GiveSendGo LLC and will then return, minus transaction fees, and minus any optional donations to GiveSendGo, to all who participated in this GiveSendGo campaign.

*All loans will be subject to transaction fees. Therefore, any loan repaid or refunded through GiveSendGo.com will receive the total amount after processing.

THE FDA IS LYING.

The TRUTH is that, AS OF 29 FEBRUARY 2024, the FDA / NIH is STILL “not recommending” the use of Ivermectin to treat COVID-19 cases.

IN FACT, the “FINAL DIRECTIVES” document by the FDA / NIH regarding treating COVID-19 cases WAS ISSUED ON 29 FEBRUARY 2024. The directives will remain online until 16 August 2024, WHEN THE WEBSITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN. THE FDA IS A DEPARTMENT OF NIH.

IN FACT, the FDA / NIH is STILL recommending things like Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, and VENTILATORS to treat people who have COVID-19.

Here is the actual NIH tweet of 29 February 2024:

Here is the NIH website regarding COVID-19 treatment guidelines:
http://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/about-the-guidelines/whats-new/

Here are the FINAL GUIDELINES:
https://files.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/guidelines/covid19treatmentguidelines.pdf

AND HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF PAGE 371 OF THE ABOVE PDF. The download is from 22 March 2024. The ACTUAL guidelines date back to DECEMBER 2023:

comment image

At the bottom of page 371, it says:
“Downloaded from https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov on 3/22/2024″

Bottom Line here, IMO:
The FDA agreed to remove the “social media posts” and the “consumer directives”, BUT IS KEEPING THE OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION AGAINST USING IVM TO TREAT COVID-19. IT’S THE OFFICIAL RECOMMENDATION THAT DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS WILL GO WITH.

Democrat donor and Obama friend Don Peebles said just now on Neil Cavuto that the Letitia James fraud judgement will be vacated on appeal and the only reason she is doing it is to cause Trump the maximum amount of pain before it reaches the Supreme Court.
He noted that if she was confident in her case, she would not need a bond, as Trump is not a flight risk.

I haven’t watched it yet. This is about the Climate Hoax.

RAC

Featured twice on the radio news today, don’t know if it merits the suspicious cat-egory or not. It just seems so out of the blue, especially at the present time.
From the article…

“I thought it was a migraine, but my GP said you need to go to hospital right away. I immediately had an MRI and CT, and within two hours of stepping into the hospital I was talking to an oncology doctor.
“They found seven tumours in my brain, which were causing my headaches, but further investigation found that my primary cancer was in my lung, where I have three tumours.”
The cancer had also spread to Kat’s lymph nodes and her skull.
She was offered a blood test, also described as a “liquid biopsy” which looks for fragments of DNA which have broken off tumours and are in the bloodstream.
This so-called “circulating tumour DNA” revealed that Kat’s cancer growth was being driven by a mutation in the ALK gene.
Although uncommon, the mutation is often seen in younger patients with non-small cell lung cancer who, like Kat, are non-smokers.
It meant the best treatment for her was a targeted drug called brigatinib.”

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-68624334

PAVACA

RAC
I’m sorry to hear of this. If Kat were “vaccinated” and/or “boosted” anytime within the past 3 years, the “vaccines” may well have been involved in what’s going with her now. Especially as the “vaccines” cause inflammation of the lymph nodes and damage lung tissue. I hope the brigatinib helps her.

“The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded that the squirrels were predestined to be there, and they should not interfere with God’s divine will.

At the Baptist church, the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistry. The deacons met and decided to put a water-slide on the baptistry and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and, unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim, so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week.

The Lutheran church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God’s creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist church. Two weeks later, the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water-slide.

The Episcopalians tried a much more unique path by setting out pans of whiskey around their church in an effort to kill the squirrels with alcohol poisoning. They sadly learned how much damage a band of drunk squirrels can do.

But the Catholic church came up with a more creative strategy! They baptized all the squirrels and made them members of the church. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

Not much was heard from the Jewish synagogue. They took the first squirrel and circumcised him. They haven’t seen a squirrel since.” — -Anonymous

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.

IMO, it appears that Princess Kate is another case of COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced illness. I hope the chemo helps her.
The COVID-19 “vaccines” damage/destroy the CD4-CD8 immune system cells of the human body.
The COVID-19 “vaccines” contain a piece of the SV40 cancer promoter code derived from the African Green Monkey.
The COVID-19 “vaccines” destroy the IgG3 “are you a friend or foe” recognition cells of the human body and foster growth of the IgG4 “tolerate and never clear” cells.
IMO, the cancer that Princess Kate has now is what can be called “mid-term effects” of the COVID-19 “vaccines” she took—assuming she took her first injection around February-April of 2021.
The FDA in the US knew in early 2021 that the COVID-19 “vaccines” could cause cancer.

Okayyyyyyy … is this an incoming fuster cluck to steal the election … again⁉️⁉️

“We need to pay attention to the Congressmen and Women looking to leave their perches early, like Ken Buck. Buck alludes to two or three others looking to “retire” early.
If a Presidential candidate does not receive 270 electoral college votes (and RFK Jr is moving up to possibly take a state or two), then the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College and goes to Congress to decide. Then the House, who has 50 state representatives chooses who wins the Presidency and that candidate only needs 26 votes.
For those who hear their representative is bailing, we all need to call them and ASK THEM if they are trying to leave because they don’t want to vote for Trump if the election goes to the House.
The RINOS are revealing themselves. RATS one and all and they should be run out of towns! They are unAmerican and don’t represent the public, only their own special interests!”

Mexico files amicus brief against SB4 law inTexas–claiming they have the right to govern their own citizens–then take them BACK to Mexico! foreign nations have NO RIGHT to GOVERN in OUR COUNTRY!
FTA
“Mexico is deeply concerned that SB 4 will be applied in a discriminatory manner and fears that its enforcement will lead to improper harassment, detention, removal and criminalization of Mexican citizens and individuals of Latino appearance,” the brief reads.
Mexico filed the amicus brief, or “friend of the court” brief, on Thursday with the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the plaintiff in the case, which includes the Biden administration. Amicus briefs are typically filed by parties outside of a case in an effort to show the court how individuals outside of the case will be impacted by its final decision.
The brief also highlights how SB 4 would affect Mexico’s ability to govern its own people.
“Enforcement of SB 4 would also interfere with Mexico’s right to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory, undermine U.S.-Mexico collaboration on a legal migration framework and border management, and hinder U.S.-Mexico trade,” the brief reads.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed SB 4 into law in December and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas initially blocked it. The law was allowed to go into effect for a short time on Tuesday until the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals discontinued its previous stay, temporarily blocking the law from retaking effect after much back and forth.
The law would allow police in Texas to arrest anyone suspected of crossing the border illegally, something Mexico says is causing fear and anxiety among communities that would be targeted.
“The possibility that thousands of Mexican nationals authorized to study, work, and reside in Texas are now under threat of detention, removal, and criminalization — and the related separation from their families — upon any interaction with a Texas law enforcement official has engendered unprecedented levels of anxiety in the Mexican community,” the brief reads.
Mexico has 11 consulates in Texas whose job is to help Mexican citizens living in or traveling to the U.S. obtain documents such as passports and birth certificates and advise them on legal issues and U.S. laws. Mexico says consular officials have recently been reporting “fear, panic and uncertainty” among Mexican nationals due to SB 4.
Mexico also expressed concern about Texas attempting to enforce its own extreme immigration laws that usurp the Biden administration’s stance. Abbott has long been at odds with the administration on the issue.
“…foreign nations must be able to confer with ‘one national sovereign, not the 50 separate States,’ regarding the safety and security of their nationals,” the brief reads. “SB 4 wholly eviscerates this one-voice principle by requiring Mexico to engage with not only the U.S. government, but also several levels of state and local law enforcement in Texas to address individual apprehensions, detentions, and removals pursuant to SB 4.”
https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2024/03/22/mexico-sb4-impact-supreme-court

Terrorist attack at concert hall outside Moscow Latest updates
 Прямой эфир2:10 pm, March 22, 2024
What happened: Just before the start of a performance at the Crocus City Hall concert hall outside Moscow, as many as five armed men in camouflage entered the building and opened fire on the crowd. An expanding fire has led to the collapse of the building’s roof.

The death toll: At least 40 people are confirmed dead, and more are reportedly trapped in the now-burning building. More than 100 people have been injured.

yes but it must be targeted at the responsible individuals and the act must be equivalent in nature so as not to be seen as an escalation. Words from Putin himself after the response must be spoken to explain the actions and proof of guilt so as not to be seen as an escalation

Russia knows 47 will stop the war in a year from now. They could easily wait it out. These terror attacks are meant to goad them into over reacting. Putin is too smart for that.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Here is what Medvedev is saying. He is (IMO) alluding to assassinations of officials of whatever state is behind this.

Medvedev, Ukraine, Russian Volunteer Corps comment

Dmitry Medvedev: “Terrorists understand only reciprocal terror. No trials or investigations will help if force is not answered with force, and deaths with total punishment of terrorists and repression of their families. That’s our worldly experience. If it can be established that these terrorists were from the Kyiv regime, it’s impossible to deal with them and those who have been inspired by their ideology any other way. They must all be located and ruthlessly destroyed as terrorists. Including official representatives of the state that committed such an atrocity.

Office of the President of Ukraine: “Let’s get it on the record. Ukraine had absolutely nothing to do with these events.”

The Russian Volunteer Corps, which fights for Ukraine: “It definitely wasn’t us, of course.”

And that will work about as well as outlawing Christianity did for Diocletian.

scott467

Not so.

islam is not ‘just’ a religion, it is a means of war to subvert any population it comes into contact with, and should be outlawed on that basis alone.

A nation and its People have the right to defend themselves from hostile takeover, and that’s exactly what islam presents to every population that ever encountered it.

.

Would Founding Father Samuel Adams Agree with Ben Carson on a Muslim President?

AWR Hawkins (Breitbart.com)
9-20-15

“During a September 20 appearance on NBC’s Meet The Press Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson spoke against a Muslim holding the office of the President of the United States.

In 1772, Founding Father Samuel Adams laid down limits to religious tolerance that also would have prevented a Muslim from being president by refusing any toleration of Islam in the first place.

According to The Hill, Carson said, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.” 

Carson’s words come in the wake of a media backlash against Donald Trump for not defending Muslims – or speaking up for Obama’s faith – after a questioner at a September 17 town hall meeting asked Trump what he was going to do about the Muslim “problem” in America and suggested that Obama is a Muslim.

Although Carson does not believe a Muslim should be president, he says he would not have a problem with a Muslim being a member of Congress under the right conditions. Carson said, “It depends on who that Muslim is and what their policies are, just as it depends on what anybody else says, you know.”

It is interesting to note that in 1772 Sam Adams wrote “The Rights of the Colonists,” through which he set forth a litmus test for religions that could be tolerated under the new government colonists would form.

Adams’ litmus test rules out theocracies like Islam.

Hanover College published “The Rights of the Colonists,” in which Adams wrote:

In regard to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practised, and, both by precept and example, inculcated on mankind. And it is now generally agreed among Christians that this spirit of toleration, in the fullest extent consistent with the being of civil society, is the chief characteristical mark of the Church.

Insomuch that Mr. Locke has asserted and proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction on any solid ground, that such toleration ought to be extended to all whose doctrines are not subversive of society.

The only sects which he thinks ought to be, and which by all wise laws are excluded from such toleration, are those who teach doctrines subversive of the civil government under which they live.

So Adams sets forth a test for ascertaining which religions should be tolerated and that test is whether the “doctrines” – or teachings – of a given religion are “subversive of society.” Adams contended that religions “are excluded from… toleration” when they “teach doctrines subversive of the civil government.”

One would think of the Muslim tendency to seek sharia law and sharia-compliant courts instead of laws and courts affiliated with constitutionally recognized jurisprudence.

It would follow that one would presume the theocratic nature of Islam, whereby every facet of life – including matters of civil governance – are co-opted as part of the religion.

Theocracies can tend toward fascism, and although Adams did not employ such a term in opposing toleration for religions “subversive of the civil government,” he certainly made the same point.

At the time of Adams’ writing, he called the Roman Catholic religion by name, suggesting practitioners of that faith forfeited toleration due to “such doctrines as these, that princes excommunicated may be deposed, and those that they call heretics may be destroyed without mercy; besides their recognizing the Pope in so absolute a manner, in subversion of government.”

We do not see the Roman Catholic church destroying those “they call heretics… without mercy” in our day. But it is common to find examples of Muslims demanding that infidels convert to Islam or face death.

And they do so with an allegiance to Muhammad that both supersedes and defines their allegiance to civil government.

While Ben Carson opposes the idea of having a Muslim for president, Sam Adams would have opposed toleration for the Muslim faith in general.”

Yeah my son Josiah just came in the room minutes ago saying OAN on X said ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack on the concert hall in Moscow.

litenmaus

IntelSlavaZ –“Statements about the alleged involvement of ISIS in the terrorist attack are the same poorly concocted fake news as the previously disseminated fake information. This is part of a disinformation campaign coming from Ukraine aimed at providing information support for the terrorist attack”

Within 45 minutes of the attack on Crocus Hall, the White House sent their condolences and declared that Ukraine had nothing to do with the attack. Within 45 minutes……

I don’t think it was ISIS and we may never know who it was, but Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in speaking to the attack this morning said it best…. “Some will say it is Islamists, some will say Kiev. Some will even say that Moscow did it. However, there is no doubt that it will be further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.”

And after all is said and done, I don’t think many will argue that escalating the conflict was the whole purpose behind the attack.

How could the WH be certain that Ukraine had nothing to do with the attack, unless:

A) it is the WH who was behind the attack

or

B) the WH knows who is actually behind the attack

or

C) the WH is in total military control of Ukraine, to the point that Ukraine could not have carried out the attack without WH consent — thereby admitting that the war is really the Brandon / Hussein administration vs. Russia

Why blame OAN? ISIS is a deniable CIA puppet. ISIS admits to the crimes – proudly. OAN reports. CIA rubs hands gleefully as the body count rolls upward.

Wait so you are saying that If it actually was ISIS, as they have claimed, that ISIS is the puppet & CIA is the hand animating it? So basically OAN could enhance their reporting by just adding the tagline, “it is known, or speculated, in certain circles that ISIS is a deniable CIA puppet”, fwiw…hmmm Now that would be some Truth-Telling LOL 🙂

Pure BS. Says he’s accomplished more than he could imagine and it’s time for him to move on.

Tell ya, none of these resignations should be accepted. It’s common practice to not accept resignations because your needed and until a replacement can be found you stay.

People in his district should say not so fast buster.

THIS is interesting!

“The passengers on an Alaska Airlines Boeing flight that blew out its door plug midflight could be “victim[s] of a crime,” according to the FBI.

This Boeing 737 MAX 9 plane was forced to make an emergency landing in January when the incident happened, and no passengers were injured. Even when the door made impact with the ground, there were no reported injuries.”

What do the fed’s know? What crime? Very interesting.

Pretty, wholesome, Georgia peaches saving lives! This is a great story. Be sure to check out the pictures of them, they are all adorable! Not one nose ring, and no pink hair.

“Most of the time when you read about college students in the news these days you see stories about them screeching about “equity” or committing antisemitic acts. It’s easy to forget that there are a bunch of wonderful young people out there studying and learning and acquiring skills to prepare them for their adult lives.

These five University of Georgia ladies proved that point when they heroically saved a drowning family trapped in a submerged car earlier this month.”
