Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
We will always remember Wheatie,
Pray for Trump,
Yet have fun,
and HOLD ON when things get crazy!
We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:
“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:
- Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
- Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
- Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
- Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
dromestoners
noun
people who remove stones from temporary airfields
Used in a sentence
Wolf Moon had no idea that “dromestoners” were even a thing, much less the fact that they have a special name.
Used in a questionable video
Possible source on “dromestoners”
MUSIC!
Dromestoners is also the last song on an album by the same name.
THE STUFF
Time to go from “dromestoners” to “one-stoners”! Three big advances in math problems, explained very nicely for us non-mathematicians.
Math – a nice subject to view from the OUTSIDE!
Speaking of math – and physics – and ASTRONOMY – isn’t there an eclipse today?
Just sayin’!
And remember…….

I just might read this one since I agree with the URL title.
Please let us, me anyway, know if it is worth reading.
That’s up to you.
It is. Merely requesting PG’s perspective.
Slow Guy is a slow reader, with a gazzilion things to get done today, this week, this month and May. Low tech way of prioritizing stuff.
No insult intended.
I often choose to read, or not, depending on other Q-Treeper’s views
Thanks. Now we know how to manipulate you. 😂 😆
LOL you can try!
It is if you enjoy the bloodthirsty perspective of how Israel should be prosecuting war. I do. I agree with Kurt on this. Israel needs to stop appeasing Jew-haters the world over by trying to be “kind” while going to war against an enemy that wants to kill all Jews.
Nobody wants to see the war I would wage were I in charge over there.
Thanks. it was a good read.
Glad you enjoyed it, too.
It’s worth reading. Just ignore the part where he admits that the policy that he criticizes is not solely Bibi’s while trashing him as if it is all his doing.
His rant on the conduct of the war is bullseye accurate. Except for the part where he says Israel should have attacked Hezbollah on 10-08-23 and merely laid siege to Gaza instead of going in.
He thinks Israeli policy is being driven by hostage rescue instead of military victory. He’s right of course but the bad media coverage of Gaza is due to Israel leaving cell service operational in Gaza.
Keep your Kevlar vest handy. 😂
“He thinks Israeli policy is being driven by hostage rescue instead of military victory.”
_____________
Any hostage rescue that takes 185 days (and counting) is a failed hostage rescue.
If the hostages aren’t dead, they wish they were.
“He thinks Israeli policy is being driven by hostage rescue instead of military victory.”
______________
Except the massacre never even happens if Israeli authorities weren’t in on it.
7 hours to respond isn’t incompetence, it’s treason.
So whatever they’re doing, whatever their real priorities are, rescuing the hostages doesn’t even make the list.
Appreciated the read.
Israel has taken too long moving forward. Perhaps they had solid strategic reasons.
Israel damn sure blinked with the withdrawal. Israel will pay with blood for this idjit move.
Wolf, if you can read this, I hope you’re doing well and I am praying for you.
And “dromestoners” is such a weird word, there has to be a joke in there somewhere.😅
There is a joke in there as soon as somebody can figure out what to do with drome. 😂
It’s short for aerodrome, if that helps….
You’re trying to be serious. I was just being a smartass.
Those are incompatible. 😆
Si tu lo digas, quien soy yo para preguntarlo?
Which Spanish trollop is pregnant?
Kidding, translation for those of us in the cheap seats? 🙂
😅 This translator says this:
Si tu lo digas, quien soy yo para preguntarlo?
Translation
If you say it, who am I to ask?
Close….
“If you say it, who am I to question it?”
Like Valerie’s comment, how does one argue with “those are incompatible”?
Like this lengthy Rapture discussion Hubby & I recently had. I’m arguing for the view that whatever the Real meaning of some End Times prophecies or views could be it is hard to know since multiple scriptures are used by different proponents of theories, & sometimes they argue opposing views from the Same scripture…
I believe the Scripture but have a hard time reconciling these 2 statements, for instance, as not seeming to be contradictory.
Those not for us are against us.
Those not against us are for us.
I don’t fault the Bible, or God, for my inability to fully reconcile such things & chalk it up to God’s ways are higher than ours, so we won’t necessarily fully understand Him. I can live with that 🙂
Same thing being said in different ways here.
I finished up w/ IF the Rapture is an actual thing that happens do you think if I don’t Believe that it’s real (I don’t have a fully formed opinion either way) that I won’t get to go? He said “No, you’ll go”…so I’m not worrying about it LOL I’m under the Blood of Jesus, whatever kind of ride comes along 🙂
Actually, the “if you say it” part is not quite right. I had originally tried “if you were to say it”…..but that’s not quite right, either.
Perhaps, “if you were to say it were so.”
Spanish is a very nice language to learn if you want to know more about English, because it still has many of the Latin technicalities that English jettisoned — the subjunctive mood, the distinction between direct object and indirect object, various flavors of the past….
I don’t know if those issues/complexity are also part of French but I did take that for four years. My HS offered Latin & in hindsight I Really Wish I’d taken that language too 🙂
I actually never learned many of those technicalities, such as they are, for English either, but got pretty good at usage somehow anyway, maybe from reading so much 🙂
The Fiancee is doing a quick dip into Italian because she intends to go to Rome later this year. She did a quick shot of French prior to going to Paris last year. She is finding Italian somewhat frustrating for what it is leaving out, compared to Spanish (with which she is reasonably proficient).
What’s funny is that there are little things in English that are just as weird as the things in foreign languages, but English-speakers just refuse to see them.
Let’s take, for instance, the order of adjectives….
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order
If you ask a native English speaker which is correct:
(a) an unusual blue chair, or
(b) a blue unusual chair
they’d almost always choose (a) [which is correct], but could not tell you why.
French, Spanish, & Italian being Latin based languages I can Sometimes guess the meaning of Some words, spoken or written, of S or I based on my imperfect recall of F…my L guesses are even worse 🙂
I think Steve mentioned a while back a very small insulated community in Spain? where they Still speak Latin, so it’s just a Mostly Dead language 😉
Once someone publishes a textbook, people think they have a handle on a language.
Take the word “paloma”. Depending on where you are, it can mean something as specific as “dove” (and not even “pigeon”) or be the general word for “bird”. There are places that speak Spanish where “un pato es una paloma” (“a duck is a bird”) is self-evident and other places where it is nonsense (“a duck is a dove”).
The great Spanish kingdoms of Castile and Aragon spoke different versions of Spanish….and there is some history as to why Castilian is deemed “more pure and more noble” today.
It’s not just Spanish, of course…..
I knew a guy in college from either Central or South America, I forget which country now, but I believe he spoke a Castilian form of Spanish that had a lisping “S” sound, rather annoying 🙂
That is a key distinguishing “feature”.
And then, you find the sort of Spanglish that is commonly used in manufacturing, food-service, construction, and landscaping in California.
The first time I had to run production, I was assigned a translator to relay my directives to the shop floor. I explained what needed to happen, and she turned around and said, “pon este green LED en este boards.”
I try not to embarrass my guys, but I busted out laughing and said, “what the fuck was that?” I continued, “there are perfectly good Spanish words that could be used — ‘pon estes LEDs verdes en estas tablas’ — is that the sort of translation necessary?”
A substantial amount of the “Spanish” used in California would barely be recognizable to a Castilian Spaniard.
So their is language usage/accent hierarchy just like “skin tone” hierarchy in some “races”??? Who could possibly keep up, or even Want to…
Like the “Queen’s English” posh tones verses the Cockney gutter?
It’s not “just like”, it’s “in addition to”.
Oooh, boy…..watch “My Fair Lady” again — Henry Higgins claims to be able to identify people’s upbringing within city blocks depending on their language.
Fascinating stuff. I think Michael Caine had a Cockney background (as does Christian Bale) & I believe that Caine was “knighted” by QEII LOL
It doesn’t matter if he was from Central or South America, because the street vendors, farmers, and factory workers didn’t talk that way in either place. Only office workers would use the lisp to show how “elite” they were.
Funny, he was the type to put on airs so maybe he was fabricating his eliteness to puff himself up 😯
Very likely.
He had even claimed to have some type of deadly disease as a way of getting attention from peers. I confronted him about this seeming lie & he initially denied it was a lie but later confessed to me. He told me that I had actually helped him a lot by not just going along w/ his fabrication but addressing it in a loving & godly way with him–this conversation after he cooled down from his outrage at my confrontation. I guess he was a bit of a troubled soul, though seemingly very sweet…
Hope she has a Wonderful trip & you have a Wonderful break 😉 😉 though you’re probably going to get some project done (like Hubby seems to do when I’m out of town) instead of give yourself a break!
I’m looking forward to it, and already have many more projects than I will have time to do.
At least I won’t be crippled this time (hopefully) — that multi-month shoulder thing really messed things up.
Oh my on the shoulder. We really don’t heal well as we age it seems. Hubby messed his upper arm up on his previous job & it’s been about a year & a half & it’s still not right. It doesn’t interfere Too Much with the current job but it can bother him when he sleeps or reaches for certain things.
He’s also developed a rather nasty positional vertigo that’s making getting under the car for certain repair jobs very difficult. For some reason laying on his back or side & cutting his eyes around as he looks up & around while working on the car can get really problematic. Fortunately our middle son is occasionally available to assist w/ the car, or even our older son sometimes, so between the 3 of them they Eventually get the job done 😍
It is somewhat amusing that English retains a crippled, weakened version of the subjunctive mood — and, again, native English speakers fence it in with a “la, la, la, la, la fingers-in-ears” when they hit it.
“If I were a rich man.” How do you conjugate “to be” so that it comes out with “I were”? It is correct English — it’s just seldom taught. It’s a way to phrase things that are contrary to fact. You’re more likely to have Tevye teach you than hear it in English class.
Fiddler is such a treat. I wouldn’t mind English class delivered That way 😉
Fiddler is based on the works of “Sholem Aleichem”, the pen name of Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich.
“Sholem Aleichem” (שלום עליכם) literally means “[May] peace [be] upon you!” in Hebrew, and is used as a greeting in both Hebrew and Yiddish. When someone is greeted with these words, the appropriate response is aleichem shalom (עֲלֵיכֶם שָׁלוֹם, lit. ’unto you peace’).
I think 2 men that made the movie were named Jewison & Christenson, & Christianson was a Jew & Jewison was a Christian. Sorry if I’m butchering those spellings & I’m just too sleepy to look the info up to confirm.
Gotta sleep soon so I can make headway on taxes today, along w/ breaks to look at the eclipse that’s rumored to be at 99% in my town. My daughter’s coming by later to work on her taxes too because she needs a table & they don’t have that big of a surface in their home yet…
If they have access to a truck, they can get a slab of melamine-covered particle board at Lowe’s or Home Depot and put it on saddlehorses. The store will even cut it for free (e.g. if the thing is 5’x8′, you can take home a 5’x3′ and 5’x5′).
Thx for the tip. Clarissa’s truck bit the dust, sadly, after her old boss hit it (her first day on the job) & never paid for the promised repairs & then later something that was BER took place, plus w/ the baby on the way then they decided to get a car instead. C still misses her truck & her tools for that old installing job she did until a couple weeks before giving birth. She’s a trooper!
That should be sawhorses, of course — it’s late.
Usually you get one free cut and can probably wheedle them into two — or the additional cuts are reasonably cheap.
If someone wants to pawn it off as fine furniture, they’re full of it — but it is great for work surfaces, writing tables, eating surfaces, or whatever.
Then, again, my parents bought “temporary furniture” when they got married in 1961, and were still using some decades later because it was solid wood and a current replacement would be veneered particleboard.
I knew which horses you meant!
My parents put an addition on the back of their house when I was in Junior High. When I graduated HS, 4-6 years later, they Still hadn’t finished the interior & had particle board floor. We had the grad party between that back room & the backyard.
Before it was a room addition, part of that space was perhaps a 12 X 12 3 season screened in porch. Being a February baby my mom used to put me in a snowsuit in a bassinet on that porch for naptime. Apparently it took for I much prefer to sleep in the cold than in the heat LOL
Give me solid wood any day of the week!
I never bought ANY furniture ‘new’ Instead I haunted ‘junk shops’ and got some really nice pieces. I also learned to do my own upholstering.
My daughter has reupholstered a couple of second hand chairs too 🙂
I loved that play/movie!
Yes. Our whole family Loves it too. One of our kids’ cousins got to be in a stage production w/ a local homeschooling co-op!
Good morning, Valerie! Hope you have a good day!
Hi GA/FL, TY & you too. ❤
I’ve gotta kick butt on taxes today (I Hate doing them) & my daughter’s stopping by to work on hers too. We’ll probably take some breaks to observe the eclipse periodically…but first I’ve gotta catch some ZZZs…
How is your day shaping up?
TY TT 🙂
Actually, that is a nice segue into “ways that English speakers fail in Spanish”.
There are many, many words that are very similar in Spanish and English, leading n00bs to try to “Spanglish” their way through certain encounters. A lot of times this works — “estoy enfermo”, “tengo fiebre”, “mi mano esta rompio”…..
Other times, it fails spectacularly. If you are embarrassed, you should not try to riff that into “embarazada” in Spanish, because that means “pregnant”. If you want to wash yourself, you should not ask for “sopa”, because that means “soup”. The word for soap is “jabon”, but you shouldn’t mumble, because “jamon” means “ham”.
About all the Spanish that’s spoken here is calling the $5 DVD bin at Wal-Mart the “Poncho bin” tm Hubby 😉
Don’t questions in Spanish also begin w/ an upside down Question Mark? If so, why?
Spanish wants to give you an advanced hint that the following sentence is a question because the word order may be different. In English, all you do is raise the pitch at the end.
TY? I thought it was so that someone speaking the question would know at the outset how to pitch their voice, batting zero 🙂
Consider also, there are languages where you get a question at the end — as in French “n’est pas?” or Japanese, “des ka?”
I thought Spanish put the Question Mark both before AND after the sentence?
They do, but it’s often omitted when typing on the internet.
Makes sense. I don’t see it as an option for my keyboard. Some of you guys, like Steve, seem to get other letters that aren’t on a standard keyboard, like Cyrillic, to show.
I was watching a Korean show & the picture cut to a Qwerty keyboard the person was typing on but Korean characters were appearing on their screen. I would guess there are adaptations that can be found. I know that if I type “fiancée” that the red squiggles allow the addition of the accent ague to be included by right clicking, but that’s about as far as that goes for my typical typing…
Interesting… when I’m using Windows, I use the Alt+#### codes to get the special symbols or at worst case open their Special Symbols dialog to pick the one I want. I don’t do as much on my Mac that needs special symbols so I looked it up and learned something new. I can just hold down the key that needs an accent mark and a little window pops up to choose from. Handy stuff.
https://appleinsider.com/inside/macos/tips/how-to-type-special-characters-on-your-mac
Lots of site provide a list of Alt codes which you type using the Alt key while pressing numbers on the numeric keypad. Here’s one example with the symbols large enough to easily read.
https://www.alt-codes.net/
TY Barb! 😍
Pretty cool & it’s info You can use!
I used to use the trademark symbols often enough to remember their numbers. Nowadays, I have to double-check them.
Pretty cool!
In California, it is impossible to miss Spanish. The mountain range that separates California from Nevada is the Sierra Nevada — which means “snowy saw” (a “sierra de banda” is a bandsaw and a “sierra de mesa” is a table saw). “El Camino Real” is the royal road that ran north-to-south linking the Spanish settlements and missions.
Sadly, around here, if we see a second language it’s often Arabic.
My one DIL speaks Spanish, as her mother is from Mexico, but not much around us since we don’t speak it. Her mother’s accent is Very Heavy so it’s hard to understand her, especially if she gets talking fast 🙂
“Quiero poner jamon en mi cuerpo…..”
for my sorry “Spanglish” version that’s a pretty rude statement reserved for prison encounters 😂
Like I said, English speakers can easily hit a hard fail when trying to approximate their way through the language.
Yup!
OK, I got tired of wondering what in the heck that said, this is what Google Translate gave
“I want to put ham in my body”
Which could Still apply to prison encounters 😯
But if I put the above translation back into GT & ask for the Spanish it spits out this:
“quiero meter jamon en mi cuerpo”
So What Exactly did you mean your phrase to be?
Except in my marriage 😉 😉
A dromestoner is someone who chucks stones at this bird, the crab plover (Dromas ardeola) also called a DROME.

In the service (Marine airwing) I was a dromestoner, I just didn’t know it at the time; it’s funny how a cartoon can shape your future…
TY for your service!
I’ve never heard of Tooter Turtle 🙂
In turtle lore the order goes something like this… starting with with Cecil

Trump Co-Defendant Warns He’ll File Legal Action Against Fani Willis Soon
Harrison Floyd said he will take legal action on April 8 if the Fulton County DA doesn’t recuse herself.
Why wait? Give her a taste of Schumer’s whirlwind from the other direction.
Well, today is the 8th, so 💨.
Sorry about my inability to check the date. I’m an idiot sometimes. 😥
Not an issue. He did give Fani some time before today, and I thought you were referring to that. I expect to hear nothing from her, and of course she is not going to recuse herself. I hope his filing charges will delay her actions against Trump. She should be prosecuted.
I learned today that a woman who attends a group I’m part of has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is married with four children, and I think she is in her thirties. I don’t know details about what stage it is, but she has had surgery (unknown whether it was a lumpectomy or a mastectomy). This news was unexpected about someone so young and seemingly healthy. I have no idea about her vax status; all I know is that I have seen signs of patriotism, like patriotic clothing, and the children are homeschooled.
Then, oddly, later I had pulled up a recording of a song on YouTube that I had heard from a Mozart opera. In the comments section from about two years ago, someone had mentioned a young woman’s name as an up-and-coming soprano. I looked her up, only to discover that she died of breast cancer in 2023 at the age of 25. I felt a sense of loss even though I had never heard of her before. She had such a beautiful voice and so much to offer the world.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Janečková
I don’t know if either of these women were vaxed, but even if they weren’t, there are lots of others who have been struck down in the prime of their lives. We need Nuremberg 2.0, and any and every agency that is still pushing COVID vaxes needs to be stopped. Big Pharma needs to be prosecuted.
Big Pharma needs to be
prosecuteddismembered.FIFY.
Dismembered with a dromestoner 👍
Or stoned by a drone!
😪
So it’s still okay to punish the child for the circumstances of his/her conception?
This will not affect my vote for DJT but it is a terrible mistake on his part. The ‘abortion issue’ is a honeypot set out by the left.
It should have been ignored since SCOTUS has ruled that the federal govt has no jurisdiction over abortion and DJT is running for a federal position.
Instead, DJT went for the honeypot thereby implying [no matter what he says] that he disagrees with SCOTUS. Now the leftists will have a hot talking point. Or two.
I could be wrong, but my impression is that Trump’s statements are not about what he thinks the federal government should do. The Left is doing their scare-mongering, but I can’t think of anything Trump could do to force states to stop abortion practices. His opinion is not going to matter, as far as I know, but a statement from him could provide a counter to the Left’s lies about his beliefs.
I agree. It’s just a question of whether the less said the better.
I appear to be alone in my view that his silence would have been golden. But we’ll never know.
Trump has to take a stand on all major issues. Punting on abortion is a non starter, which lefties AND Pravda News would be thrilled to eviscerate.
He could have said ‘all life is precious’ or some drivel like that. He did NOT need to specify precise conditions.
Now if he ever says he cares about somebody’s family after a death, they have a logical argument to compare it to the up to 4 months innocent babies he obviously DOESN’T care about.
I stand by my opinion – as a federal candidate, he had no basis to campaign on abortion. And now, lower-ballot candidates are going to be cornered into being compared with DJT [especially if they are hand-in-hand with DJT on the campaign trail].
Unnecessarily, I might add, and not due to anything they said.
The genocide of the unborn is unconscionable, regardless of the circumstances of conception. I agree with you that Trump could have handled this topic better…
It’s not ok.
Trump trying to stop the left AND Pravda News narrative machine. Calm the waters in a National election year.
Abortion is a States issue. Trump won’t push anything at the National level.
Very well put.
Roe v. Wade elevated abortion to a Federal issue. This was a horrible mistake, and poisoned Federal politics for decades. Dobbs v. Jackson merely returned jurisdiction to the states. The horrific tortured writing in Roe, with its penumbras and emanations, showed how far the Court had to tease the issue to insert their ill-considered opinion.
Dems are attempting to Federalize abortion once again, based (ironically) on support from abortion-favoring jurisdictions. California and New York are attempting to push a nationwide Federal regime onto states like Montana and Tennessee, despite resistance from such pro-life states.
There does need to be a clear statement that supports citizens’ right to choose abortion or to choose life, and exposes the hypocrisy of pro-abortion states attempting to force their views on other states.
ThanQ for a different view. You may well be correct.
The key phrase here is ‘salvation of our nation’
That can only be done with GOD’s help – returning to compliance with GOD’s WORD/COMMANDMENTS.
Western nations have created laws that enable us to break all of GOD’s Commandments and some that would force us to do so.
We can’t break GOD’s Commandments, we only break ourselves, OUR NATION and others when we attempt to do so.
“Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the Lord.” – Psalm 33:12
Beautifully said & a Very Hearty Amen!!!
^^^ This.
Resistance is futile. God will have His way regardless of the attempts to change that reality.
Total solar eclipse could mean total traffic nightmare in NY as Hochul warns motorists to pack water, snacks
And portable toilets?
The only way such warnings don’t sound insulting is if these Nazis actually cared about the People, which we know they don’t, they hate the People.
Understanding this, any such warnings coming from these genocidal maniacs come across as unhinged and mostly hilarious in the level of disingenuousness.
It’s like Stalin and Hitler and Mao warning the People against tyranny…
Yeah, okay, thanks for the pro-tip 👍 😂
you can’t just poop on the streets? wow NY is not as progressive as CA…LOL
bastards!
demons!
A big fat lawsuit should deal with that ‘oversight’.
Now do America

According to Peter Sweden, a conspiracy theory now has a conspiracy fact. Why should we listen to Mr Sweden… 🤔 ahhh..hold on… got it.. he read it in the NY Times!

A decommissioned aircraft carrier, the USS Hornet, located in San Francisco Bay area, is being used to shoot a salt mist into the air as part of an early experiment to block the sun. Apparently this is being funded by our good buddy and people hater Bill Gates who must still be fuming of getting pie thrown in his face.
From the NY Times.
Okay, admittingly they are experimenting with a prototype at very low altitudes, but last I heard this kind of nonsense wasn’t going to happen after they shut down that private company last year that wanted to do something similar from someplace in Mexico. Yet here we are doing more of it because daddy climate bucks wants too?
“Warming Is Getting Worse. So They Just Tested a Way to Deflect the Sun.”
______________
What in the dromestoner are they talking about?
Warm is good, cold is bad.
“Warm is good, cold is bad.”
Not to arseholes like Gates, he’s never been cold, nor humped his groceries up four flights of stairs or painted neat bleach on the walls to kill the black mold 😡
I think Gail has shared several times that we are heading into a Grand Solar Minimum, iirc, & the hardiness zones are shifting South for the 20-40 year cold snap, or something…
This gets into it:
GREENHOUSE, ICEHOUSE OR CLIMATIC MADHOUSE?
In a nutshell:
We can now expect ‘WILD WEATHER’ typical of a descent into another ice age. Even if the Holocene is a double precession cycle, ‘WARMING’ is not in the cards because orbital mechanics mean the solar insolation @ the CRITICAL 65◦ N is too low.
From the paper Can we predict the duration of an interglacial? I extracted the 21 June solar insolation @ 65◦ N for several glacial inceptions:
Current values for solar insolation = 479 W m−2
(Marine Isotope Stage 11 interglacial)
MIS 7e – insolation = 463 W m−2,
MIS 11c – insolation = 466 W m−2,
MIS 13a – insolation = 500 W m−2,
MIS 15a – insolation = 480 W m−2,
MIS 17 – insolation = 477 W m−2,
Depth of the last ice age – around 463 W m−2
NOW (modern Warm Period) 479 W m-2
SO the question is do we bump along near glacial inception with wild weather (Climate is bi-stable so it is NOT going to be stable that close to inception.) Or do we plunge into an ice age.
TY Gail for keeping this info before us!
⭐️ for use of the word of the day 😂
😁😂
If they want to block the sun it’s dead simple, just put the moon in front of it 😂
Seriously though are there no laws that could stop megalomaniacs tampering with things that could harm the whole planet.
“megalomaniacs tampering with things that could harm the whole planet” – that defines GATES from vaccines to climate change to abortion to eugenics to euthanasia to population control. These bastids have no fear of GOD.
they think they ARE gods
The unregenerate human ego thinks that way. Add a few billions and the ego can really get sick and power mad. GATES and the Rothschild-Rockefeller-Bush, et al. cabal are really sick with megalomania.
they ARE!
they believe themselves to be powerful and revered–perhaps even feared.
but in contrast to God, they are inconsequential. they will know how much someday.
AMEN !!!
Speaking of harming the whole planet, you mean like Windows 10?
I don’t know Vista was the last straw for me,I dumped it then.
Looks like a crime against humanity to me.

This “experiment” from the decommissioned USS Hornet is being reported on all over the internet. However, Yours Truly found this, which appears to be the “Ground Zero” for the “experiment”, via the article related to the “experiment” at http://www.theburningplatform.com/ today —
https://environment.uw.edu/2024/04/marine-cloud-brightening-program-studies-clouds-aerosols-and-pathways-to-reduce-climate-risks/
This is a program run by the University of Washington in Seattle.
It’s linked to an NGO called SilverLining, which is located in DC.
It’s also apparently linked to a Bill Gates project called SCoPEx.
Bill Gates has been funding this kind of geoengineering since at least 2010:

More STUPIDITY…. Push SOLAR Panels… then BLOCK the sun?
AND SALT the BEST FARMLAND IN THE USA!!!
I was wondering about that but I thought they used salt to promote rain before so didn’t know if it was a legit argument. Gates of Hell is a plague on humanity!
Hope you are doing well Wolf. We’ve missed you around Your Tree 🙂
Today might be the day to break that Ladyhawk curse ❤
God Bless YOU, today & always!
he said he would be away from time to time. This must be one of them. I’m sure if something were to happen to him, we’d know somehow.
I’d bet my hat there is a plan for that. Wolf just keeps things close to the vest.
It’s the time of year when the chores mount up, is my guess. I know they have at my house.
“chores mount up”… He DOES have a wife 🙂
Yes, I expect you are right, but one can’t help wanting to Know, just to be sure 🙂
I hope the feds aren’t trying to teach him a lesson about Capitol trespass laws.
Yes. Wolf and his well being remains in our hearts and minds daily.
Amen
I saw this repeated multiple times and thought it sounded fishy. Sure enough…
no disrespect intended…but i believe LESS AND LESS what most gov’t officials spew out as facts.
maybe this is correct…but do you honestly believe they would confirm it if it was actually happening? they’re better liars than that…lol
they get the side eye on calling anything false that would hinder their ability to steal elections in perpetuity.
The reason I tend to believe it is that I think a red state like Texas is probably pretty trustworthy. Also, it appears to be a case of people who don’t know what they’re looking at extrapolating data and coming to false conclusions. I don’t trust random people on the internet because, for many of them, their standards for research and truth-telling are low or nonexistent. (I’ve had it with people who “don’t know that they don’t know.”) I know it’s the same for government officials, but at least they have others who work in the same areas who can see what they are saying and know whether it’s true.
However the illegals DO STEAL YOUR SS#!
FROM MY OLD NOTES….
From memory…
1. Most stolen SS# are from YOUNG PEOPLE.
2. Social Security DOES NOT TELL YOU.
3. 👉If there are TWO tax returns with the SAME NUMBER the SS and Medicare $$$ go into a ‘Special Fund’ called the Earnings Suspense File (ESF). (The gov’t gets to KEEP the money)
4. When you go to CLAIM SS at retirement YOU GET NOTHING from those disputed funds. Think of all those young folks working for DECADES and getting NOTHING!

Dromestoners comes the word – Aerodrome /âr′ə-drōm″/
noun
An airport or airfield.
A shed for housing an airship or aëroplane.
A ground or field, esp. one equipped with housing and other facilities, used for flying purposes.
Dronestoners, however, are drone operators who use MJ while operating a drone – a dangerous combination!
Only the Areo makes it flying.
First famous dromes we’re aware of were the hippodromes and they got their start with horse and chariot racing.

Georgia Students Shut Down Congressman In Latest “Deplatforming”

We have another successful “deplatforming” of a speaker at a university this week after Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) had to be removed from an event at the University of Georgia.
D E F U N D the colleges. NO Federal funds. Including research funds. NONE.
Defunding NON-GOVERNMENT business is a very good idea Gov’t business is roads, post office. military… It is NOT charity (ie Welfare) and a heck of a lot of other New Deal type crap.
Unfortunately, since the government (and banksters) STOLE around 80% of the wealth generated by each family, we are stuck with Social Security at least for a while.

CIA Wants Congress to Expand Top-Secret Eavesdropping Program To ‘Fight Against Fentanyl Crisis’ Anthony Scott Apr. 7, 2024 8:40 pm 520 Comments
The Co. acts like it isn’t spying on anyone anywhere at any time right now. They are not supposed to spy or operate on US citizens in USA. The drugs are from China and in Mexico before they come here.
Why can’t they do something about the drugs *before* they get here?
We all know why, because they are allowing the drugs to flow. They make money by allowing them to flow. They create the problem so they can “solve” the problem and ask for more money and power.
Exactly. All this does is give them another out for when they get caught doing what they have always done.
They are going to “fight” against the thing they use to help depop, human traffic, distribute and make gobs of money with to further their global control?
Nah. Not happening.
That part is not happening.. but the other part! 😠
They are grabbing more power. First they create the problem and then they want to fix it to enslave us. 9/11 comes to mind and the after grab of our freedom.
Theory is people will sign their freedom away for perceived security.

✟
“He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”
John 9:25 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

What do these people do every night “when the sun goes down”? (For crying out loud, don’t let them know that the sun doesn’t actually “go down” but the earth is turning at about 18,000 mph or something…they will start demanding that everybody chain themselves to a pipe or something………………………..)
Dear Sharon:
It is precisely because the sun “goes down” every night, and not in the middle of the day, that people are excited to experience this rare event.

he had a lot to add. that’s good!
how’s everyone’s weather currently?
we should have had a nice view of the eclipse…but it’s so cloudy currently not sure we’ll see a thing
Interesting looking at country wide weather map, a semi narrow band of cloud cover starts out in the ocean off the coast of Mexico and follows the entire path of the eclipse moving North Easterly, perfectly across the country. About 90 to 95% of the eclipse will be eclipsed by this band of cloud cover.
I’d encourage everyone to take a look at your weather maps to see this. Very strange all by itself and if you don’t look now you likely will have a hard time finding it again.
Okay… took my own advice and snapped a picture of it.
These guys have cameras all across the eclipse path, starting from Mexico:
The International Space Stations just passed over the eclipse shadow.
Totally dark below the station.
Concerned Citizen is complaining that the ISS doesn’t show eclipses.
Dear ‘Concerned Citizen’ they just did show one.
TY!
It’s mostly sunny where I am. We’re just less than 1 hour from eclipse time so we should have a great view.
We have one big cloud over the sun. Looks a little funky outside my cats are very restless. Now they are hiding away from the windows where they like to sun themselves.
Now I hears some shots do not know why ? Sounded like a pistol unless someone shot a raccoon or something. Maybe some lunatic being smart ?
My husband is not home so solo watching the eclipse when it happens 🙂
We had partly cloudy, but good viewing from home. Plenty of neighbors in their front yards to watch & chat. THIS is not even close to “Biden’s America”, Thank God!
human composting
ncxplant
April 8, 2024 12:54 pm
Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has just signed a bill that will make human compositing legal in the state of Arizona.
Hobbs just signed House Bill 2081, known as the ‘Grandpa in the Garden Bill,’ into law.
This bill will now allow people to turn their loved ones into soil in a process called human composting.
Human composting or natural organic reduction is the process of “breaking down human remains into usable compost or soil that can be returned to the bereaved family or contributed to a conservation area.”
gatewaypundit.com
Don’t eat the Soylent Green.
“Grandpa in the Garden Bill”
This is sickening disrespectful of our elders and of all human life. Our culture is becoming increasingly shameful over time.
So true TT
It’s becoming amoral. Innocent children exploited, abortion as well care, cheating ..the list is endless and now this. Even stone age civilization buried their dead.
So disrespectful.
From dust to dust, so to speak.
There is a VERY GOOD REASON why human feces and bodies are NOT USED FOR COMPOST… 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘!
Not to quibble but that would make septic systems into super-spreaders. What about all the wild animals that die without human interaction?
I know that those prohibitions are necessary but disease cannot be the primary reason for them.
My great-grandma allegedly had the Best Flower Garden planted in an old rowboat embedded in the ground. No one had the heart to tell her that they’d filled that boat w/ “goodies” from the outhouse before putting topsoil on top. I believe that Erma Bombeck wrote a book called “The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank” LOL

That would be epic.
All other considerations aside, her behavior is completely unprofessional and out of line. I hope she gets fired.
She must have entered menopause to have that meltdown. Just Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it’s womenopause now.
Menopause was triggering too many of the feministas 😁
😂
She needs B6 to even out her nerves.
She also could have been stressed out having the responsibility flying the plane? Does not feel competent enough ?
Clear case of, most capable NOT selected for her position.
She’ll get promoted for this little stunt, wait and see 😂
Looks like a business opportunity is emerging for something like Straight White Man Airlines, or maybe Lance Manion Airlines.
Where anyone can be a passenger, but only straight white men fly the planes — until such time when everyone else is held to the same standards as straight white men. And since that won’t be happening anytime soon, we pledge to remain color blind here at Straight White Man Airlines.
That means if you’re a pilot and you’re not a straight white man, we can’t see you!
Our pilots are highly qualified straight white men. Not only have they been held to nearly impossibly high standards throughout their education, training and career — due to blatant discrimination based on their skin color, sex and sexual orientation — but unlike protected-class pilots, straight white men haven’t been promoted in spite of their performance.
If they were promoted at all it was because their performance was so outstanding, none of the trannies and Karens in HR could find a reason to deny their promotion. And it’s not like they weren’t trying.
Let that sink in!
Straight White Man Airlines.
You’ll be happy to discover that here at Straight White Man Airlines there are no flight attendants, only Stewardesses. And you’ll never have to guess at their sex or gender — another promise we make to our valued customers!
If you just want a safe trip to your destination, without the tyranny and drama of Leftist insanity, we’re your Airline.
Choose Straight White Man Airlines, for all your travel needs 😁
During her training it’s hard to believe that she at all times was pilot material. One particularly upsetting event caused her to think it was fine to be 2 hours late, be out of uniform, talk about her personal life, have the crew open the door for understandably scared passengers…………I highly doubt it. A person like this is probably always like this to one degree or another.
Another example of a psychologically impaired person hired in a sensitive position on the basis of DEI. That asshat Baltimore mayor saying that DEI is another word for N..is way off base. Doesn’t matter what the person’s race is..if they’re hired because of DEI quotas more often than not they’re not the best person for the job.
Bet the co-pilot was glad not to make the trip with her, stressful enough wondering what bit of the plane is going to fall off next.
U F B.
Zero chance I’d fly in the US ever again. None.
Ignorant bitches like this one ranting at passengers.
Stoopid Hoe coulda just put on her uniform and carries on, as if the bitch was on-time.
Shit falls off of planes almost daily.
Also have no intention of ever flying again, internationally. Domestic HELL NO.
Next we’ll read. This is all the plan to stop folks from flying. SMDH.
There are ways to hitchhike on private planes/jets. Not free and it’s not up to you when they fly but they are there waiting. 🙂
And we know she’s a FJB supporter, because they said she started talking about political candidates.
If she was a Trump supporter, that would have been the HEADLINE 😂
The eclipse is come and gone . We had about 99 % .
The cloud moved just in time 🙂
No rapture . My husband came home just in nick of time to enjoy the happening also.
Hope many of you saw the eclipse ?
not us…cloudy from the get go this morning and never cleared
I am sorry 🙁
i’m not complaining…lol
I saw it! It was very cool. Temp dropped quickly. Sky was dark but we had some residual light at ground level.
I am happy you too were able to experience the happening. 🙂
I saw it from home…. 100% totality… Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Wow 100% lucky you 🙂
I saw it from my back porch. Yes it is special and something to remember.
I remember when I was a kid the eclipse was 100% it was magical. We had an old piece of class that was smocked . Of course God created a wonderful universe everything works so well .
so happy you got to see it!
😊
And no ruptures, no earthquakes, no bio weapon raining from the sky. no FIB FF…yet 😎
I wonder all who engaged in fearmongering how they feel that nothing happened?
Already moved on to their next set of lies, trying to skeer folks.
We had a little “dusk” feel at about 3:15p EDT; no big deal. You could tell it was happening, but then it passed and our sunny day was back. Typical ATL day in our neighborhood: baby blue skies and no clouds!!
I just saw the eclipse a few minutes ago, amazing!
It was a strange color of daytime for a while beforehand, and then it got dark very quickly. I didn’t have any special glasses, but looking directly at it, once the eclipse was full, didn’t seem to bother my eyes. Even so, I looked away every 15 or 20 seconds just to make sure I could still see normally.
The eclipse was as complete as it could be, just a slight uniform ring of the sun around the outside edge. The sky was darkened, until you looked at the horizon, which had the blue, red and gold colors of a sunset, while the sky above was much darker.
There was a very BRIGHT red spot, very clear, looked more 3 dimensional (like a globe) than I expected, at about 7 o’clock, like a ruby gleaming in the sun, sitting just on the outer ring of the sun. Guessing that was Mars, since Mercury would likely have been smaller or impossible to see with the naked eye.
It stayed completely dark for what seemed like at least 3 or 4 minutes, and then blinding light erupted from the left hand side, and I could begin to see the outline of the Moon on the right side.
The blinding light was not uniform as I expected it to look, it was more like a bright yellow or gold volcanic eruption, a pinpoint that grew out of one spot along the left hand edge, starting at around 11 o’clock, as opposed to the whole left side of the sun becoming visible at once as the Moon moved out of the path of sunlight.
Very cool.
A magnificent display in the heavens 😎
Nice report! I hope your eyes will be okay. 😊
Me too. They seem okay. It’s not the first eclipse I’ve ever looked at.
The blinding light was not uniform as I expected it to look …
Could that be due to the surface of the moon being quite irregular?
I’m pretty sure the resolution available to the naked eye, both due to distance and the brightness of the sun, would not be able to detect that kind of detail.
Even if there was a range of mountains higher than Everest, and the sun was shining from directly behind them, I wouldn’t think it would be visible to the naked eye.
Just a thought.
So it remains a mystery which must be solved. Life depends on it. 😂
Sad commentary on dumbing people down. But “wherefore art thou Romeo” doesn’t mean “Where are you, Romeo?” It refers to his name and the Montagues, who were feuding with the Capulets. “What’s in a name?”
Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet…
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

The Romeo and Juliet in a British production
They can’t leave it alone. They do these things to demand all to kneel at the cultural altar
I would never attend or watch a production that is trying to lead me in a certain direction by being untrue to the original. Its aim is to MISlead.
I do agree but often it feels like a form of control. They create situations that are misleading, confusing and downright weird and then kick back and wait for any pushback. Then…obedience to the new fake reality or you’re a xxxxx and in some places you’re subject to being reported to authorities
One strategy that can be effective in the long run is to ignore them. Don’t attend or watch, and don’t give them any money.
Passivity in the face of naked aggression only leads to further aggression.
Not when it causes them to suffer financially. But I don’t consider boycotts to be passive.
Have we not seen time and time again that they don’t care about destroying brands and companies they control?
When TPTB, the ones making the decisions, already have all the money they could ever want, and the corporations they control are just pawns to be used in the furtherance of their sick ideologies, they will sacrifice those corporations without a second thought.
Even feeling virtuous by doing so.
Is that a male or female on the left?
Likely, but nothing is certain.
That’s definitely a dood 😂
Whether he knows it or not!
LOL…gag…
Which one is Juliet? — the one in the suit, or the one in the blue outfit?
Juliet’s character didn’t make the final cut for this particular production 😂

Trump is going after Lindsey with a series of Truths right now.
Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to the Republican Party, and to our Country. At first he wanted no Abortions under any circumstances, then he was up to 6 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, now he’s up to 15 weeks, where you’re allowed Abortion, but what he doesn’t understand, or perhaps he does, is the Radical Left Democrats, who are destroying our Country, will never approve anything that he or the Republicans want. They love this Issue, and they want to keep it going for as long as Republicans will allow them to do so. Terminating Roe v. Wade was, according to all Legal Scholars, a Great Event, but sometimes with Great Events come difficulties. Many Good Republicans lost Elections because of this Issue, and people like Lindsey Graham, that are unrelenting, are handing Democrats their dream of the House, Senate, and perhaps even the Presidency…

Page 2: By allowing the States to make their decision, and hoping that most Republicans running for Office will have the sense, although they must always follow their heart, to require the EXCEPTIONS for Rape, Incest, and Life of the Mother, we have taken the Abortion Issue largely out of play. When the Supreme Court had the courage to do the right thing LEGALLY, and terminate Roe v. Wade, all of those people, including Lindsey Graham and Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony that were “hardliners”, one day after the Victory, were gone and of absolutely no help, as the Democrats staged rallies and won Elections they should never have won. Lindsey, Marjorie, and others fought for years, unsuccessfully, until I came along and got the job done. Then they were gone, never to be heard from again, until now. We cannot let our Country suffer any further damage by losing Elections on an issue that should always have been decided by the States, and now will be!

Senator Lindsey Graham should spend more time focusing on all of the many people being killed because of our now non-existent Border, and the millions of people dying in senseless, never-ending Wars that he constantly favors and promotes, and should spend less time on taking away our Great Roe v. Wade Victory of sending a complicated and controversial Issue back to the States where, according to Highly Respected Legal Scholars on both sides, it belongs. The Democrats are thrilled with Lindsey, because they want this Issue to simmer for as long a period of time as possible. They are destroying our Country, and they don’t want to talk about Inflation, a Bad Economy, the Horrible Open Border, Rigged Elections, Afghanistan, Ukraine/Russia, or the Attack on Israel, all of which would never have happened if I were President. Great job Lindsey!

Sending this Issue back to the States was the Policy of the Republican Party and Conservatives for over 50 years, due to States’ Rights and 10th Amendment, and only happened because of the Justices I proudly Nominated and got Confirmed.

Now he needs to do Pence.
Idiot.
Federalizing the issue means that some states will impose their will over the citizens of other states. It may go “your way” today, but who can say which way it could turn tomorrow?
Dobbs, at long last, rid us of the abomination of Roe — and gave our “presidents, senators, and congressmen” an excellent opportunity to sit down and shut up.
Hear hear!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen
False conservatives keep stirring the pot on abortion and loose your country.
Abortion is in the states leave it there work in the states for the outcome that works for your religious conscience.
Pence, Lindsey should stop making everything about themselves. This is typical for these type of people who are pretenders of what they are not.
In order to save our country we need to unite otherwise it will become a hell hole.

DEVELOPING: Reports of Active Shooter in Summerlin, Las Vegas — Triggers Massive Law Enforcement Response (VIDEO)
My guess would be a personal vendetta against someone.
Shooter is dead by his own hand. Probably a disgruntled client.
If it was by his own hand, I’m guessing he was more than just “disgruntled” :0)
{dark humor…sorry, it’s a trait of mine)
Extremely disgruntled. 👹
No, this one is weird:
“Las Vegas 8NewsNow identifies the victims as Dennis Prince, an attorney, and his wife, Ashley Prince, who were reportedly new parents. The incident occurred during a deposition at the Prince Law Group’s office on the fifth floor of a building near Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa. Dennis Prince was representing Ashley Prince in a legal matter involving her ex-husband, whose father, Joe Houston, was also present at the deposition. Records indicate that Ashley Prince was previously married to Dylan Houston, who filed for divorce in 2021.
According to the sources, shortly after 10 a.m., Joe Houston allegedly shot the Princes before killing himself.”

What a horrific situation. The slain couple was in a legal conference room with the wife giving a deposition conducted by her current husband in a child custody case between her and her ex-husband. Then the father of the ex-husband kills both the woman and her current husband, and then shoots himself. The shooter must have been holding an extreme grudge. Now he has gotten his way, probably. The ex-husband, his son, will probably get custody of his children.
It sure seems like that was the father’s goal. Twisted.
GROUND REPORT FROM 2 OR SO HOURS NORTH OF TOTALITY:
So, i was out while the whole thing was happening. I walked out of Church, and the light was different. I could tell it was going on. i set off for my Monday routine errands in Mid-County, and OMG, it was the least busy for that time of the week, I’ve ever seen the area. Stopped for gas where, normally, there’s work trucks and trailers, etc., and the vying for a pump is pretty cutthroat, and I drove right to one.
After filling up, I headed to another strip mall for a keyboard, and that parking lot which is one that should require life insurance on which to walk was only a quarter or so full. The box store was all but empty. So was the first grocery store where I stopped. The manager was in the parking lot with half the staff, and a cooler full of cold soda. I got to the second grocery store, and half of that store’s staff was in the parking lot. No soda at that one.
Headlights were on, street lamps lit, no nocturnal animals, though.
I’m telling you, this city is dead today. The people headed for the state parks in the Ozarks and down river.
The people also headed to various places in Southern Illinois. A cousin and her family were in the stadium at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale with a few thousand friends.
Talk about cheap entertainment. well, other than the gas…and the snacks….
I wrote about two young women and breast cancer yesterday. Kate Middleton is mentioned here.
Good Lord, Dr. Leana Wen on CNN. IMO, she’s a CCP mouthpiece.
One knows it’s pretty bad when they have to resurrect Leana Wen.
dis b*tch is salivating like the animal she is…

JUST IN: Letitia James Poised to Begin Seizing Trump’s Properties Attorney General Letitia James is poised to begin seizing Donald Trump’s properties as an insurance company will not be permitted to post a $175 million bond for Trump while he appeals a fraud judgment. Knight Specialty Insurance is currently unable to post the bond on Trump’s behalf, attorney Dave Kingman noted. According to Kingman, as a consequence, New York Attorney General Letitia James will be empowered to initiate enforcement procedures against Donald Trump’s properties. A New York court rejected Knight Specialty’s application and requested further information about its financial support. The business submitted new documentation on April 4. Trump must post the $175 million bond to prevent James from initiating enforcement procedures, after a court fined the former president $454 million in February for “illegally” inflating the worth of his assets. Donald Trump’s exorbitant penalty for the common real estate practice raises serious concerns about “selective and vindictive prosecution.”
@FreeThinkerInc
Alina Habba stated that only 7 companies are permitted by law to post bonds, and of those only 3 bonds of this size. This is malicious and abusive prosecution and clear violation of the 8th Amendment.
Higher courts have their heads up their asses.
There is NO justice in America. None.
Ask Elon for a loan.
File for bankruptcy.
Choose one, DJT, and stop playing with the vermin.
“raises serious concerns”
😂
What a joke our whole country is!
Serious concerns…
If ANYONE in this entire farce of injustice actually had ‘serious concerns‘, it would have been put to an end long ago and the criminals running this scam would be in chains.
Serious concerns…
It’s not an insult to the intellect, it’s an assault on the intellect.
It’s like watching an innocent person get beaten to death, while some moralizing philosopher standing on the edge of the crowd muses aloud “I have serious concerns this may not be right…”
Good call.
You win the Observant Award of the day 😂
Captain Obvious makes an appearance, and is obviously concerned.
Been quite busy today.
No surprise. The world didn’t end. Massive terrorist attacks didn’t play out.
No doubt a great eclipse for those that got to see it. Happy for them.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve at lowest level in several decades or more.
Gas around here up OVER $1.50 in the past six months. Saw $4.49 today.
Gold and silver prices continually up.

When the gov’t openly wants everybody dead, it’s a pretty safe bet that everything they say is a lie, too.
IGNORE the government.
A starting point. Evaluate the situation. Run. Hide. Fight.
Much more complicated than that. Fed line of crap, Stay Inside is FUBAR.
