Difficult To Do
Proverbs 22:17—24:34 contains thirty “Sayings of the Wise” compiled to nurture faith in God, correct or warn against wrong attitudes and behaviors, and instruct those seeking wisdom from the Lord. Proverbs 24:17–18 cautions, “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the LORD see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him” (ESV).
This saying warns wisdom seekers to be careful not to celebrate when an enemy experiences misfortune. The word for “rejoice” is translated as “gloat” in other versions (NIV, CSB). This term means “to observe or think about something with triumphant and often malicious satisfaction, gratification, or delight.” Gloating over an enemy’s misfortune is associated with an arrogant and mocking attitude. It’s not easy to control the urge to gloat when our enemy experiences hardship, but Scripture says, “Those who rejoice at the misfortune of others will be punished” (Proverbs 17:5, NLT).
God is always watching our hearts (1 Samuel 16:7; Jeremiah 17:10; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 3:11). Jesus taught us to love and forgive both enemies and friends and pray for our persecutors (Matthew 5:44). “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” (Luke 6:27–28). As Jesus hung on the cross, He practiced what He preached, forgiving His torturers and executioners (Luke 23:34). The first Christian martyr followed Christ’s example. As Steven was being stoned to death, he prayed for God to have mercy on his accusers (Acts 7:57–60).
If we disobey these commands, if we turn around and revel in our enemy’s downfall, we reveal attitudes of pride and superiority that God hates (Proverbs 16:5; 8:13; James 4:6). According to the proverb, if God sees us gloating when our enemy experiences a disaster, He may yield, turning His anger away from our enemy. The Lord may even turn against us in punishment (Proverbs 17:5).
The same disciple who retaliated by chopping off his enemy’s ear (John 18:10–11) later taught, “Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing” (1 Peter 3:9, NLT). Taking malicious delight in someone else’s failure is a form of revenge and an evil that God forbids. Peter grew to understand that God wants His followers to “turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it” (1 Peter 3:11).
To rejoice when our enemy falls is the opposite of expressing genuine Christian love, which Paul outlined in Romans 12. “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. . . . Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath” (Romans 12:14–19). Paul went on to cite Proverbs 25:21–22: “If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.”
Why do we not rejoice when our enemy falls? Because the believer’s ultimate goal is to see an enemy become a brother or sister in Christ. The Lord taught us to accomplish this by treating our enemies with kindness, generosity, and humility (Matthew 5:39, 43–48). We “conquer evil by doing good” (Romans 12:21, NLT). Just as God’s kindness is intended to turn us away from our sin (Romans 2:4), our kindness might be just the thing to turn an enemy away from a life of sin toward repentance.

Happy Sunday.
Happy Sunday!
Wolfie, I can take one of De-Pats days. I think she said Thursday was the one she really wanted gone?
I am doing more digging on the assassination attempt and might as well use it to relieve De-Pat of a day’s work.
FIRST – THANK YOU!!!
SECOND – it’s WEDNESDAY that she needs taken (hump day, camel day, national park day), because it needs preparation on TUESDAY NIGHT, and that is when her biggest rehearsal takes place.
Can you do WEDNESDAY? If so, then fantastic!!!
If anybody else wants a day, FRIDAY (because of Thursday night rehearsals) would be the NEXT available day.
Wolf Moon
Does a weekly “Big Pharma / Establishment Medicine / The Latest on a Virus / General Health” type of opener from Yours Truly sound feasible?
Sounds like a very good idea to me. That way the info does not get lost.
Agreed! & it can be a good place to park key info in that arena, if need be.
I agree with Gail – that would be an excellent idea. Basically “Healthy Fridays”!!! I like it!
And it will relieve DePat completely. She really needs it! She has done 4 out of 7 days a week for far too long.
How is Friday for you? That means getting the open ready to go by Thursday night.
If so, here is the new schedule:
Monday – Wolf Moon
Tuesday – Deplorable Patriot
Wednesday – Gail Combs
Thursday – Deplorable Patriot
Friday – PAVACA
Saturday – SteveInCO
Sunday – bakocarl
It looks like a really solid lineup to me!
Wolf Moon
Thank you. I am humbled and honored. I will do my best to provide interesting material.
I am sure you will!
Praise God! By His hand!
It is you that honor us by your undertaking. Thank you.
OK Wednesday it is! That is my easiest day.
Excellent! Thank you!!!
Win, win!!!
I really do appreciate this! Not only are you giving DePat a truly needed rest – it means we get a WEEKLY post from GAIL COMBS!!!
Your daily can be anything you want. Absolutely anything. Any topic, any format, any length from nothing to YUGE.
The only requirement is that the title contain the date, in something resembling the other dailies, for ease of searching.
Here is an old post on doing dailies, which was designed for people who didn’t have their own ideas. Nothing in it is required other than the date in the title, which needs a similar format. That’s it.
Dear MOAB: YYYYMMDD Open Topic [exemplary daily post]
This is to correct the misleading crap from yesterday’s blog. Notice the word ‘and’.
Wow – this is even worse than I thought. In addition to the shocking voting give-away to illegals by item (c)(3), items (c)(1) and (c)(2) are both massive voting right give-aways to non-citizens.
You are misreading it.
All 3 conditions must be met in order for the ‘loophole’ to apply.
In that case, it looks like it applies to anchor babies in cases where the parents completed the anchoring process and became citizens. Like KAM-COM.
That could be why it was placed in there.
To retroactively authorize her being VP, though I don’t see how it gets around the natural born clause.
Primarily it’s a codification of the common law – a criminal must have criminal intent in order to be convicted. Misdemeanors are presumed to have criminal intent; most felonies it must be proved. This is an exception to that misdemeanor presumption.
so this is an involuntary voting statue?
you know, when you “accidentally” vote not knowing you can’t?
like involuntary manslaughter
Sort of. Suppose you were brought here by illegal alien parents. You grew up just like any other American kid and had no reason to think you were any different.
When you turned 18, you registered to vote, just like everybody else. If you got busted AND prosecuted [rare but possible], you could not escape guilt by explaining that you didn’t know any better. You could argue for a lesser sentence due to ignorance but that’s the best you could do.
With this statute you could not be convicted if you didn’t know. Still a high bar because it’s really hard to prove something [knowledge that you’re DACA, for instance] didn’t happen.
my grandfather came over from Hungary as a boy. He studied and passed his citizenship test. there was a ceremony and we have the program that lists his name (among others).
He was very proud of that!
that these illegals can claim ignorance of our laws–some illegal claimed he did not know rape was illegal here–is disgusting.
if they can teach these illegals that they bring in how to navigate grocery stores with their $$ cards then can teach them the basics about our laws.
Since Roman times, ignorance of a country’s laws has NOT been a defense.
Which is why this law was put in there – so that this specific type of ignorance IS a defense.
It also looks to me that they’re trying to remove the “parents were not citizens at the time of birth, but became citizens later” problem for Kamala and cases like her. They want “retroactive anchor baby citizenship” normalized.
How dare you accuse our honorable adversaries of such bad motives?
What?
We don’t have any honorable adversaries?
Then never mind.
Ya speaking of the Feds? Asking for a friend.
LOL!!!
Boom!
Your grandpa knew he was not a citizen. This law would not have applied to him.
But if nobody told him he wasn’t a citizen …
It seems to only possibly apply to those brought here as toddlers.
Likely It was written if for the dreamers.
Meanwhile I see it as only applying to the penalties. No right to vote here, or only right to be dumb and not be prosecuted.
Well done.
no where else does ignorance of the law seem to apply.
if i think I’m a cop, I can’t arrest people.
if these aliens believe our laws do not apply to them, are they free to kill, rape, steal…oh wait…they already do.
dang so that’s how it works.
Chaos.
Thank you. I think sometimes we are panicking over nothing.
Not nothing. It’s through this cloud of seeming ambiguity that they drive the invaders to the polls to vote. Once voted they’ll do everything they can to make sure the source of the vote is not divulged and is counted, meaning long court cases to get to the truth. Year long court cases happening in multiple jurisdictions some of which have made laws making it nearly impossible to bring suit with penalties for trying.
4 years of destruction later and it’s too late to examine anything
You do have a point.
Lawfare WORKING exactly as the Demmunists hoped.
Hope this lets that image show…both your links were for the same image it seems
Tradebait brought this yesterday. Very important, but L-O-N-G…..
Have coffee or tea ready along with uninterrupted time. Well worth the 2+ hours IMO. Two highly intelligent, motivated siblings. Losing a dearly loved mother to medical industry incompetence, misinformation, greed, and power seeking will set some on fire like they are.
Packed with important information from start to end. Confirmed some things I have learned over time, however, learned additional stuff that will be very beneficial. Passed it on to family members already.
This video changed my attitudes towards food and medicine overnight. I am now much more wary of foods. Just today, I changed up my purchases to get away from likely trouble.
👍 Same here. Some pumpkin spice snacks in the pantry hit the garbage can immediately. I had backed off full blown Keto for a time over the spring and summer. Still ate the Keto breads, meat, salads, veggies, etc. But had started eating some desserts, snacks, more potatoes, etc.
That is now officially changed. Going back on it due to all I learned from them. Going to buy their book.
I am glad my hypoglycemia kept me away from most junk food, except as a treat now and then. It is probably why Hubby and I are healthy for our age.
It’s the goat spit!

With redbox getting liquidated, keep your eyes open for hardware like this to get pitched out of datacenters. [Yes, I know this is a completely different company — I’m just saying that no competitor to redbox is going to want to be locked into their cost-of-ownership for depreciated old equipment.]

It’s fun to look at the specs on that box. Despite the immense amount of storage, it would suck at video editing (doesn’t have a video card). It couldn’t compile a kernel that well (a single Xeon processor, 10 cores/20 threads, max 2.1GHz, while running 4x10G Ethernet ports). It obviously uses its 64G of RAM and 3G of SSD’s to buffer the spinning rust. It’s clearly a purpose-built device.
If one dropped in my lap, I’d be researching weird filesystems with RAID for a bit — all the 262T of disk would be old, well-used, and prone to failure.
Heck, we could start our own ISP with cloud storage.
Fighting with Kamala bots on X is bringing back memories of good times in 2016 and 2020.
😂 👍
That’s funny – but our disease goes much deeper than that.
Our country is sick all right – but the cause is rebellion against GOD.
Our politicians have forged laws (at the behest of donors and the people with an agenda like Bill Gate$ and Soro$) that allow us to violate all of The Ten Commandments and some that would force us to do so.
Our Western culture and customs, media, thoughts and heart are far away from GOD’s Word and Will.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.” Psalm 33:12 – KJV
The US and other nations need a return to the Truth, Law, Word and Will of GOD or we cannot be blessed, prosperous, safe, strong, or great again.
Amen!
Hard TRUTH! TY

Should be common across America.
All 50 states. Along Interstates, US and state highways.Big cities AND specifically, Times Square.
I thought this was an interesting article over at ZeroHedge — https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/beginning-end-germany-ban-all-new-ukraine-military-aid .
It would help explain the Kursk feint.
Yes!
A crack in the dam. May it lead to many more.
Side note: at what point does Putin disclose the biolabs records? I’m pretty sure that those particular labs were working on next generation gain-of-function. Such as a DNA specific virus that sickens and/or kills certain ethnicities and is harmless to others.
Efficient ethnic cleansing, with much less mess and virtually no tracing-back.
The other possibility is that we’ve been sold a bill of goods.
Because, after all, he should have released the info long ago.
THIS.
OCTOBER SURPRISE???
Why time it for our elections, at the cost of prolonging the war which has been going on for two years?
If he truly has evidence of these labs, he could have released it months ago and support for Ukraine would have dried up.
I don’t believe it any more. I think we’ve been suckered by disinformation.
Sorry.
Here is one side of the story:
I can not get this story to load
https://www.rt.com/russia/552177-ukraine-biolabs-weapons-military/
The blurb on Yandex:
From Mike Adams via Info-Wars 🙄
In a recent announcement, Igor Kirillov, head of the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, revealed that the United States military-industrial complex has not only been conducting bat coronavirus-related “experiments” in Ukraine, according to uncovered evidence, but has also been trying to develop bioweapons that selectively target certain ethnicities – and all under the guise of “research.”
“The available documents confirm numerous cases of the transfer of biological samples of Ukrainian citizens abroad,” Kirillov stated. “With a high degree of probability, we can say that one of the tasks of the United States and its allies is the creation of bioagents that can selectively affect various ethnic groups of the population.”
As we reported, the Pentagon has been operating biolabs all over the world, including in Ukraine.
According to Kirillov, some 350 cryocontainers filled with blood serum samples were transferred from the Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to a reference laboratory for infectious diseases at Australia’s Doherty Institute. This was done under the pretext of identifying antibody titers.
The Russian Defense Ministry obtained documents confirming that this high-risk biological research in Ukraine is, in fact, being led by the United States. Kirillov said the documents show that the U.S. Department of Defense funded this research…..

FROM 2018!!!
Ethnic-Specific Weapons: Leaked Documents Reveal US Diplomats in Georgia Trafficking Human Blood And Pathogens For Pentagon Biowarfare Laboratory
Pentagon scientists have been deployed in 25 countries and given diplomatic immunity to research deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins at US military offshore biolaboratories under a $2.1 billion DoD program. (Source: DTRA)
The US Embassy to Tbilisi transports frozen human blood and pathogens as diplomatic cargo for a secret US military program. Internal documents, implicating US diplomats in the transportation of and experimenting on pathogens under diplomatic cover were leaked to me by Georgian insiders. According to these documents, Pentagon scientists have been deployed to the Republic of Georgia and have been given diplomatic immunity to research deadly diseases and biting insects at the Lugar Center – the Pentagon biolaboratory in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.
This military facility is just one of the many Pentagon biolaboratories in 25 countries across the world. They are funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under a $ 2.1 billion military program – Cooperative Biological Engagement Program (CBEP), and are located in former Soviet Union countries such as Georgia and Ukraine, the Middle East, South East Asia and Africa.
Here is the other side of the story:
Russia Is Lying About Evidence of Bioweapons Labs…

SO who is The Intercept?
👇
👇
Anyhow, so my premise is false, Russia appears to have tried to bring it out.
Kinda hard to tell with Google et al burying it.
That is why I use Yandex when I want to actually find stuff google/deep state wants hidden.
The one detailed Russian military document that I read about this, was not very much of a smoking gun, IMO. The whole thing seemed more like “well-aimed propaganda”, accusing the other side (America and Ukraine) of something that they were probably doing, but without any really good proof.
I think most of the documentation and evidence got destroyed. However it would have been nice if the UN had actually looked into it. Not that I trust the UN.
Do I think US tax payer dollars were funding this type of crap? YES! We KNOW they were using Americans as experimental animals on a number of occasions so this certainly would be the type of stuff they would be interested in AND willing to do.
We also know they were messing with insect vectors. Bill Gates has come right out and said so.

Now cancel all Brazilian SpaceX satellite launches and any government use of Starlink.
Brazilian communists need an exemplary boot in the ass.
Elon also has the contract to deorbit the ISS. I would recommend that Judge Dipshit’s neighbors relocate to a safe distance.
Musk might get an earlier shot with the Boeing capsule, if he can get the contract to get that off the ISS.

Incidentally, I heard the city on the radio today as “Wilksbury” — is that really how it’s supposed to be pronounced???
Does anyone know how Terra Haute, Indiana is supposed to go?
As a side note, my parents sent me on a “if this is Tuesday, it must be Belgium” tour of Europe when I was 15 years old (over 40 years ago). When checking into our accomodations in London, I slid a little note over the counter and asked, “could you pronounce this for me?”
On the note was “Worcestershire”.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/worcestershire
Worcestershire[ woos-ter-sheer, -sher ]
Like Bertie.
Yes. And “Worcestershire” adds the “-sheer” or “-sher” onto Bertie’s pronunciation.
England is full of them. Leicester Square is “Lester” and Colchester is “Colster”.
WOO-Sta — Bostonian For the town Worcester.
Lem-sta — Bostonia for the town of Leominster.
It all depends on the local way of speaking. Round here it would be pronounced Wustisher.
That’s how I first heard it, too!
We say Warse-ter-shire or sometimes Worse-ter-shire 😉
You can click a button to hear the pronunciation on these links.

Wilkes-Barre[ wilks-bar-ee, -bar-uh, -bair ]
I don’t know which the natives prefer.

Terre Haute[ ter–uh hoht, huht, hawt ]
Yes.
Wilksbury
TerraHoat
Worshster
That was how I heard them from those in the know.
There’s an oft-told tale of two traveling salesmen who roll into Worcester, Massachussetts, pull into a fast-food joint, run inside and slap $10 on the counter and demand that the minimum-wage employee say the name of the place they were…..”but say it very slowly.”
Pocketing the sawbuck, the employee says, “Burrrrrr-gerrrrr Kinnnnngggggg”.
LMAO!!!
My understanding is that Bertie Wooster, from the P. G. Wodehouse tales, is named after the correct pronunciation of “Worcester”.
Around my neck of the woods it was “Wustah”.
That’s how I heard it in Boston 🙂
that’s how us rednecks in PA been saying it for years.
I have always heard it as TERRA HOAT
Terre Haute (I say it like Tare Hote, like how I think the French would say it, but I’ve never heard it spoken aloud)
Is this the next thing after accusing the Trump team of being weird?

DEI HIRES STRIKE AGAIN!
Mocking is actually key. Ridicule is the most effective way to counter lies, spin, and brainwashed thinking.
LMAO AGAIN!!! 😂
Sappy Saul Alinsky agrees with you.
……………………….
Rules for Radicals #5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”
………………………..
He’s wrong about it being ‘almost impossible to counteract ridicule’ though.
You just have to be better at it than your opponent.
You counteract ridicule by doing a better job of ridiculing whoever mocked you. You one-up them.
The audience only focuses on the best ridicule or mockery, so if your comeback is better than the original attack, the audience forgets what was said to you and laughs at the other guy.
It really, really works 👍😁
You and I should start a political consulting firm and call it Rule #5.
We’d get paid for what we do naturally.
I know a PhD physicist you should hire. He worked with Hubby as a tech writer and is really really wicked when it comes to fast comebacks.
👍😁
Sarcasm AND ridicule always available AND delivered
I don’t think this is true; it’s just funny. 😅
LMAO!!! 😂
Who cares if he did?
Does creepy Stevie think she isn’t?
Or is he just after a juvenile PC gotcha?
If he did call her a bitch, I hope he doubles down on it.
Then what are you gonna do, creepy Stevie?
James O’Keefe:
Good! No….. Excellent!
I hope he gets a lot of responses.
I hope the DNCtards see it and waste a lot of resources trying to uncover moles from James’ psy-op 😂
I hope they whip themselves into a Demtard frenzy every minute of every day of this fiasco. MAGAs are coming to get them. Boo!!!
I bet that’s part of James’ thinking – make the enemy waste money.
He probably already has a good number ready to go and embedded. Wants more publicly for the Dems to focus on and freak out about.

Okay, this is a chance to brush up on my high school Spanish.
I think it says President Javier Milei participates in a ceremony of the voting llamas in commemoration of the death of the immortal General Don Jose de San Martin.
Huh.
It doesn’t really make much sense, but then I never did understand Spanish very well, I was just able to pronounce it well 😁
Ahem……”burning votive llamas.”
Not to be confused with “Flaming Lotus Girls” — a long time staple at Burning Man and Maker Faire.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Lotus_Girls
Not to be confused with the traditional first entry in the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade — the “Women’s Motorcycle Contingent”….that was universally known as “Dykes on Bikes”.
When I first moved to the area, I used to go see the parade — it was mostly PG-rated, with occasional R-rated interludes, and was focused on what good neighbors they could be with music and art.
During the AIDS years, it became more and more grim and desperate and not fun, and I stopped going.
From there, it grew darker, narcissistic, and perverse. It turned away from music and art and turned towards a Folsom Street Fair vibe. Since the Dems took over the state, it’s all about homelessness, drugs, perversion, and crime. I won’t set foot in San Francisco these days.
That’s not a very nice thing to do to a llama.
I just clicked through to X and clicked the Translate link. It lets Google translate for me plus it has feedback so you can let them know if something does not translate correctly.

“Taylor Swift’s friend Robert Pattinson gets touching shoutout by Paramore at her Eras Tour Wembley show – as his fiancée Suki Waterhouse is an opener”
_____________
I don’t even understand what it means.
Swifty’s friend Robert (I guess nobody would know who Robert was without context of being Swifty’s friend?) gets a ‘shoutout’ from either someone named “Paramore”… never heard of… her?
Or was that a play on the word paramour?
What is an “Eras Tour Wembly” show?
Apparently Robert’s fiancee is an ‘opener’? So the fiancee is a performer who went on before Robert did, and Robert got a ‘shoutout’ from some other person named Paramore?
How do I get the time back, that I just wasted, trying to figure any of that out?
The time is yours to waste or redeem as you see fit. Of course, I either wasted or redeemed the time I spent reading your comment. Maybe I should direct my advice to the image in the mirror.
Lesson learned, if ya stop taking the bait. Click bait.
Robert Patinson is an actor & he hit fame when he portrayed “good” vampire Edward Cullen, iirc, in the Twilight franchise, the main love interest of human who becomes vampire Bella, who ultimately chose him over love rival werewolf played by Taylor Lautner, I forgot the character’s name.
The books that the screen portrayals were based on were written by an author who got some positive press in the Christian community for promoting waiting for marriage to have sex (which is how I heard about this) as “Edward” was made a vampire in the early 1900’s at age 17 & he no longer aged. He & Bella, a modern girl/teen in the Pacific NW were love-obsessed & sex-crazed but he wouldn’t do the deed w/ her until after they were married. As she was still human she got pregnant w/ a human vampire hybrid child who, iirc, was going to eat it’s way out of her womb so her husband bit her to transform her into a vampire to save her life. They & other “good” (didn’t kill humans nor drink human blood) vampires battled ancient evil vampires after this transformation.
I think RP’s fiancée Suki opened for Taylor Swift on TS’s Eras tour, that was performed at Wembley (stadium?) in England recently, fwiw…
To your credit.
Actors, working on getting acting experience.
I do not even know who Taylor Swift is!
she was dating a chief’s player iirc
Chief as in Indian?
football
…..
Travis Kelce, who’s been Taylor Swift’s boytoy since at least last football season. He is a fairly highly rated player who, along w/ KC Chief’s QB Patrick Mahomes, have some spectacular plays on the field. They just lost, Again, to the Detroit Lions in another preseason game!!!
Kelce has been shilling for Pfizer slab jabs so he’s revolting, imo!
I hope carl is ok. Both Wolf and Sylvia published this post out of draft.
Yes – and it’s not up at Marica’s
or his wife.
I hope both are okay!
Running joke at the 4th Region ROTC HQ for those going on command visits to inspect historically black collages came as this advise. “Keep your windows rolled up or someone will throw a diploma in”.
That’s purdy durn funny.

Intel CPU Oxidizing And Failing on High Volts (how high?)
I’m about a month late on this. It looks like two of the latest rounds of Intel CPU have an “Oxidizing” problem. IF run at the original voltage (that is now called “high”) they can oxidize and start to fail.

Beyond my understanding but mine is ten years or so old and has intel inside.
Will the heat depend on how much work one gives it to do, like really complex things rather than just surfing the net ?
hmmmm…Q has mentioned “keystone” a few times…
recently THIS headline has been trending
Pennsylvania is the key to winning.
what is PA known as?
Occam out.
Have noticed Trump seems to be holding a PA rally weekly.
Sprinkles in WI, MI, NC…but returns to PA.
scott pressler has been working PA extensively as well.
we are a mostly red state, but the liberal strongholds are in the 3 largest cities–Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
but fracking is a MAJOR issue here. the cackler had to backtrack on the fracking ban (in words only) to avoid losing all hope in PA.
Yes, from what I’ve heard it really is down to PA. That’s why I was surprised she didn’t choose Shapiro.
Lemon Head gets a dose of reality.
that’s THE question of the election…are you better off now than 4 years ago?
“What’s in your wallet?”
As previously reported, there is a Trump/MAGA/Patriots rally held at a Buffalo suburban major intersection every Saturday from noon to two.
I went yesterday from 12:15 to 1:30. I counted 19 people in attendance, most I recognized from prior rallies. These IMO are the core group, including the principal organizer who is very energetic. It is truly amazing that this rally has been held for 152 consecutive Saturdays, necessarily through some very adverse weather during that time.
It was a hot and windy day. The many flags looked beautiful and majestic fluttering in the wind. One very nice fellow and his wife who (I believe) have been long-time participants arrive in a beautiful pickup truck with NINE huge flags attached somehow, an assortment of Trump/MAGA/American flags.
He and his wife went to the Erie County Fair on Friday wearing their Trump gear (hats, shirts). The fair has a huge attendance every day (over a million in ten days). He reported that they got a lot of positive individual attention.
Maybe the most significant aspect of his report was the number of people who told him that they debated with themselves about wearing Trump gear to the fair and decided not to, either out of embarrassment or fear or a combination. He told me they regretted their decision when they saw this fellow and his wife. Just seeing someone else with Trump gear changed their perspective. They were NOT alone.
Kalbo is a big advocate for wearing Trump gear in public, and I believe he is right. IMO there is a profound positive psychological effect when the public sees this type of support. It goes way beyond the typical electoral rah-rah-rah. We live in a 24/7 environment where fear, intimidation, brainwashing, propaganda, and highly effective emotional manipulation have been inflicted on the public since 2015. A spell has been cast and it must be broken. Wearing Trump gear is an act of courage and determination which inspires and receives admiration.
The reaction to the rally yesterday was once again very good. There is constant honking in support, sometimes very enthusiastic honking. I am amazed at the sheer variety of drivers who are doing the honking. You name it, you get it.
There are some (very few) dreary rude gestures, and nasty vulgar remarks, but they have no effect other than to create pity. The folks I talk to at the rally uniformly feel that these people are pathetic, and not understanding what is happening to this country. There is a sort of angry mania on their faces, meaning they are not and cannot be happy people. They may literally be struggling with their own demons.
I take my 2016 Trump lawn sign with wire anchor to hold up. I am in the best shape of my life for many years now but the wind hitting the sign was a constant effort to keep aloft. Nothing too challenging, but enough energy was required to be a distinct challenge.
Others were holding big flags in the wind; now THAT must have been challenging. A few of the old timers needed to take periodic rests.
But every single person at the event was inspiring when you studied them, each in his own way. Each was the sort of person you knew you would want in the foxhole.
Great report.
100% wearing Trump stuff MATTERS.
Full disclosure. Since 2015, I’ve had three negative interactions. All in 2015/2016.
2017 through today, all positive interactions. Including CA. Two notable, posted as much.
If the variety of makes, models and sticker price are an accurate reflection of those who support Trump through honking or thumbs up, then you are right, he is appealing to all sorts of people in all sorts of personal circumstances, not to mention the varied ethnicities which is very apparent.
Nice dot connecting.
Thank you, Tonawanda! Great perspective on what it means to keep showing our Trump gear in public. My two Trump 2024 signs have been up most of the year, even when trying to sell my home in the spring. hehe… It is a self-selecting strategy because anyone too offended by my little signs to consider buying the property would not make good shepherds for the home or good neighbors to the nice people who live nearby.
My 2024 Trump signs are very visible in my front yard beside a busy 3-lane mountain highway. They are the blue signs with wire holders that only mention Trump. People coming up the mountain are coming out of the last of three curves so drive slower and have more time to see the Trump signs.
Last weekend, I put my house back on the market using For Sale by Owner and dropped the price a lot. It is priced to pay off the mortgage plus enough more for me to get home safe and get into another place. Nothing fancy but close to family would be fine.
I am not sure I want to own another home, but may rent instead. I used a 2016 Trump/Pence sign with wire rods with my plastic sign taped to the front. I also posted to FB Marketplace and Craigslist.
The price drop more than covers Honey Do items on my list that I’m getting too old to do myself and lets younger people or even honest flippers consider buying the place even with the current high interest rates.
At the higher asking price, there were no showings in five months. We did have two different clients who were coming to see the property but midweek, a car crash on the other side of the mountain caused a fire across the mountain ridge for miles. It was worse on the other side of the mountain. It looked scary at night though never came close to my property.
Highway Patrol had the highway closed in both directions at the bottom of the mountain for a few days and turned back all but homeowners. The clients did not reschedule so I withdrew the property to wait for a better time.
After a week of the property being for sale this time, I have given five showings and answered questions from another nine or ten people. I think two different potential buyers are interested, I expect to do two more showing this week, and only one or two were unserious.
Perhaps the best part of all is that I’ve done more in-person socializing in the last week than I have since the plandemic. I’m fine with however this turns out because God’s in control and I have more lessons to learn.
I did a little work for a new company, but the lady cannot pay me until the customer pays her. Her customer has gone back to their investors but so far, no news. Seeing the pattern of highly qualified people being tight on cash and short on work is a valuable lesson.
In spite of these things, I am still positive and hopeful we can see a better day without needing to go through a civil war as the leftists desire. They only want that because they are stupid.
Very interesting post.
1) Your entire perspective on everything is wonderful.
2) The fire across a mountain ridge caused by a car accident shutting down traffic is a circumstance I have never been in, nor could I imagine being in. God bless you.
3) Real estate values just puzzle me, period. I live in a very modest neighborhood where Cape Cods (like mine) are the standard, mixed in with a few fancy Tudors and nice “ranches” (meaning one floor with no basement). A few doors down and a few weeks ago, I spoke to a young couple moving to another city for job reasons.
4) They told me they sold their very, very modest Cape Cod for $300,000, in my mind an astronomical amount. 1100 square feet and one bathroom, not even 1 1/2 bathrooms. They had very intense interest and competition for their home. Huh?????
5) 1100 square feet is perfectly fine with me, but it is modest.
6) I understand that 300K does not sound like a lot to many parts of the country, but here in western NY it is like buying a quart of milk for $20.
7) Looking around it is obvious some people have a lot of money. Good for them. Then some other highly qualified people are struggling, good people and hard workers. There is something I do not get!
Thanks Tonawanda! God has blessed me deeply and often, I greatly appreciate any prayers on my behalf.
1) My mom and dad were wonderful parents and the only thing they did not impart was understanding that not everyone was like our family. It took time to get past my own naivete. I’ve often thought that the good you might see in me comes courtesy of my dear parents.
2) Dominion turned off power at my place on Sunday evening during the fire. I did not need to evacuate, but the Sundance neighborhood south of me that goes higher on the mountain did. My property gets power on the same trunk line as Sundance, so that’s why mine needed to turn off too.
That is when I decided it might be challenging to evacuate if needed with two kitties and five levels at my home with just a flashlight. Too many stairs and hiding places. So before dark, I got them in crates and we drove to the valley where I got to see the fires on the mountain ridge in the dark. Then, I came home and parked facing the highway. A light rains started about midnight and I know it was so welcome and many grateful prayers raised up that night. A county sheriff’s deputy stopped to chat with me for a bit to be sure I was okay.
3) – 6) On home pricing, it’s the law of supply and demand. I like modest homes and home for me will be whereever I live after moving to Missouri. Right now, I think irrational exuberance is in play. There are many different analytics on home prices.
My insurance company told me it would take $700k to rebuild my home from scratch. Isn’t that something? It seems crazy to me. Realtor and Zillow have different estimates as do the estimate realtors see through MLS. The county appraisal is also different.
Some beautiful old homes in my Missouri home town have appraisals no different than I bet they were 50+ years ago. Their property tax rates are a blip. That is wonderful for those families! I don’t trust political polls, so I should not trust home value analytics either unless I know how the algorithms work and trust the data sources. The best gauge is supply and demand. We’ll see.
7) Yes, these are strange times. It’s also an opportunity to adapt, reevaluate what’s important, and be thankful for everything we have. My parents grew up through the depression so Mom impressed on me to be kind to everyone regardless of their job, wealth, faith, age, or status. My extended family is a mix of modest and upper middleclass.
Why me? The DoD knows I will not obey an order to take emergency shots. I declined politely, so perhaps I’m on a list. At least it is not the evil overlord list. 🤗
“….The best gauge is supply and demand….”
Actually I was very good at appraising real estate when I was 10 yrs old. (Mom was a broker.)
Your best bet is to see what houses in your neighborhood, or like neighborhoods SOLD for. That gives you the spread. Then narrow it down to similar homes if you can. Generally stay within the same county (tax assessor area) Then figure in the distance from the most likely places to work.
You can generally get a fairly good idea of a realistic price if you do that.
Thanks Gail! That’s great advice.
Thank you for sharing your home “selling” adventures. You are so inspiring!!!
Dr. Martenson recaps Higgins’ report and puts it in perspective. He is doing some quality work.
i appreciate all the reporting and investigation about this, but i wonder if this isn’t a ploy to embroil the most investigative people on our side in a quagmire. they cremated the body, got rid of dna evidence and locked the files in the Drawer Never to be Opened ala JFK.
maybe there are important things happening right now that are being overlooked?
I would not worry too much because as General Flynn said, we now have an ARMY of DIGITAL SOLDIERS and they tend to focus on different things.
For example:
thanks! that’s reassuring!
You are very welcome.
Exactly – but you are right.
I’m focusing on Komrade Kamala, because that’s where I think the fight really is now.
he might try a welfare office. i didn’t watch the video, but the initial screen looked like he was at a home-depot/lowes type of place. those people are doers. he needs to find the feeders and see what they think.
Yup. Home Depot, Lowe’s and Wally World is what I noticed.
There was ONE Kamaltoe supporter.
Yup.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, August 18, 2024
✟
“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”
Jeremiah 17:7 (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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
SETTLE ME, LORD
My heart is rapidly pounding
My state of affairs confounding
I am shaking/quaking beyond belief
Whatever I try I find no relief
Something has disturbed my peace
The turmoil inside just will not cease
My energy level is dangerously low
What it is that is broken I do not know
Nothing should change my resolve
I must fight to defeat delete dissolve
This interruption disruption in my life
Meddling unsettling pedaling strife
Alone in the darkness I tend to shiver
Lacking control I slither and quiver
What is wrong with me I cannot say
But it just keeps on and won’t go away
Settle Me, Lord help me to rest
In this condition I cannot do my best
Whatever it is from it wash me clean
Teach me a lesson from which to glean
Your thought process has brought you here
You gave up your authority my sweet dear
I gave you calming music you listen not
You let ‘it’ control you and you got caught
There is no medicine that can cure ‘it’
There is no formula than can detour ‘it’
I gave you the power to stop this attack
I gave you the means to pick up the slack
Exercise, breathing, and thought control
All of these will again make you whole
Emotional turmoil blocks rational thought
Eliminate it and you will be as you ought
Change your attitude change your life
Positive thinking diminishes strife
Movement replaces emotional confusion
All of ‘it’ is actually an illusion
You can take control and beat your distress
By changing your thoughts eliminate stress
By exercising you switch your concentration
Your physical movement serves as activation
Your shiver and shake ceases to be
Your uncertainty dissolves instantly
Your mind directs your body to move
And your anxiety begins to improve
God gave us the ability to heal mind body spirit
We just need to learn how to clear it not fear it
The body does what the mind commands
It moves it rests it contracts it expands
So it is with emotions as well with control
Our thoughts can trigger disconnect or cajole
Our attitude plays a part in this scenario as well
It is where we decide we are going to dwell
Negative thinking brings about negative outcomes
The opposite is true and to what it succumbs
When we take authority of events in life
We eliminate the stress and the strife
Whatever the problem or issue that disturbs you
It is nothing you and God together cannot subdue
When God enters the situation the solution is clear
You will have eyes to see and ears to hear
So Settle Me, Lord as only You can
Help me to see and perfect Your plan
Take away the illusion of ‘it’
Cleanse me from all and every bit
D01: 01/15/2023
Thank You Duchess! 🙂

First impression of Kamala’s stepdaughter..typical leftard lunatic. She’s got the prerequisite tatts, she’s sporting a very weird clump of synthetic braids, a very weird hand knitted scarf, the always present scowl…..wonder how that modeling career is going?
it’s a Cluster B world out there.
hahah yes it is!
Kamala’s stepdaughter — first impressions:
No looks.
No modeling talent.
Can crochet (that long black item wrapped around her head.)
Using step-mother’s job / visibility to cash in.
Likely was not given much choice considering her gene pool. Nothing to fall back on but the current set of parents. I wonder who her mother was.
Was her father Harry Potter?
She has a zit on her chin 😬
a little nostalgia…

FIRST BAPTIST DALLAS – SUNDAY SERVICE – 08/18/2024
LIVE: “Jesus Revealed in the End Times: Jesus The Judge” | August 18, 2024 | 9am CT
Most Christians have no difficulty thinking of Jesus Christ as the suffering servant who came to save us from our sins. But, many people stumble over the picture of Jesus as the Judge of both believers and unbelievers. Yet, as we will see today, the end times reveal Jesus as the perfect Judge who is coming to reward the righteous and punish the unrighteous.

New Trump ad.
Steve Cortes (spit) trying to become relevant?
Hmmm. Did not show here. On X, “From Steve Cortes” with blue check mark.
Wondering… Is Waltz and Emhoff a thing?
Asking for a friend…
Oooooooooh.
Yikes.
Fling.
Ack!
Have seen at least a dozen Hoe is a drunkard, X’s today.
yep.
either booze or pills, maybe both.
high functioning substance abuser.
Functioning? I don’t think that word means what you think it means. 😂
I think you’re wrong.😂
And a joint to de-stress from all the pressure she’s under.
Cannabis is in the mix, IMO.
Now we know where that stash that was found in the Capitol came from. 😜
cocaine.
and a line or two.
It seems a little too reaching to attribute her mannerisms to full blown alcoholism without definite proof or even anonymous unreliable sources saying so.
Biden was easy to see his decline so criticism was warranted but personally I’m not ready to get on this one about her.
Well … hope springs eternal. 😂
Many have said she’s a drunk – even the kids are noticing!
Yup. Kamala now explained. She loves the vino. And that explains how she ended up as Willie Brown’s knob-polisher. She’s a party girl.
Haven’t heard that phrase in awhile 🤣
How do we catch her and prove it, that’s what I want to know.
That’s drunk, Valium, or a combo.
More Denver stuff. If Denver was blue, I don’t think it’s going to last. Toss Colorado to the Trump column unless the Denver machine can hold it!
The Venezuelan street gang Tren de Aragua is believed to have given what authorities are calling the “green light” to attack and kill police officers, federal authorities have warned.
A bulletin by the Colorado Information Analysis Center, a screenshot of which was shared with Fox News Digital, warns that a police department in New Mexico have received information from federal partners that members have been encouraged to attack police officers in Denver.
“The Albuquerque New Mexico Police Department (APD) has released this officer safety bulletin to notify law enforcement of information regarding the Tren De Aragua criminal organization and reports that TDA members in Denver have been given a “green light” to fire on or attack law enforcement,” it says.

So can the cops shoot first now?
The Mayor says……… They’re watching this very closely.
Another equivalent to a sternly worded letter . A few dead cops later they might get really mad and get to the root cause of the newcomer’s bad temperament…gib them free stuff or something
Mayors lying. See post above… oh wait… I’ll just double post it.
Nope.
Take a bullet in support of hussein, Briben, Hoe and Deep State assholes.
Concern over the presence of the notorious South American gang follows a major influx of migrants to the U.S., including the city of Denver. Many of the more than 40,000 migrants who arrived in Denver are from Venezuela.

And don’t forget this jaw dropper we posted about last month. It’s like the mayor knew what was coming and made room for these jerk invaders.
Guess citizens are sitting on their hands…tacit approval.

AN ADDITION TO THE MONKEYPOX (AKA “REPURPOSED” SMALLPOX) SITUATION:
https://tomrenz.substack.com/p/will-the-trump-campaign-catch-mpox
“Will the Trump Campaign Catch mPox & Will We Fall for Another Plandemic?”
Tom Renz, JD
18 August 2024
Yours Truly: The 11 June 2024 Congressional report on the GAIN-OF-FUNCTION experiments that have been / are still, happening with the MONKEYPOX virus, cited in the Renz article, is below. Recall that the Smallpox Virus (variola) and the Monkeypox virus (MPXV) are closely related.
The Gain-of-Function experiments with the Monkeypox virus have been going on since AT LEAST 2015. They were / are funded by NIH / NIAID (Anthony Fauci).
It appears that a main player in these Gain-of-Function experiments is Dr. Bernard Moss. It appears that the object of the experiments was to / is to, “insert” elements of the more deadly Clade I strain of Monkeypox into the lesser deadly Clade II strain.
Congress only learned about this situation in MARCH 2024. HHS stated that the Gain-of-Function experiments on Monkeypox were approved and funded, BUT NEVER PERFORMED — however, the report also notes that HHS has NOT produced any documents proving that the experiments were never performed.
Here is the Congressional report of 11 June 2024:

HOWEVER, here’s what appears to be proof that the federal government WAS INDEED doing Gain-of-Function research on the Monkeypox virus:

Dr. Peter McCullough also believes that the Monkeypox virus was “enhanced” by Gain-of-Function experiments:

“Gain-of-Function Mutation Discovered in Monkeypox Virus”
18 August 2024
Note: The entirety of this article can only be accessed by paid subscription.
Here is the paper referred to by Dr. McCullough. It is a study on the Monkeypox virus 2022 outbreak:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaut.2022.102928
“Mutations in the monkeypox virus replication complex: Potential contributing factors to the 2022 outbreak”
S.R. Kannan, et al.
Yours Truly: If one is reading this paper correctly, it appears that the authors found multiple mutations of the Monkeypox virus, and at least one area in the original virus where “insertions” could be performed.
IMO, the following are true about the Monkeypox virus currently:
One: The NIH / NIAID did perform Gain-of-Function experiments on the Monkeypox Clade I strain and Clade II strain to try and “insert” elements of the Clade I strain (the more deadly one) into the Clade II strain (a less deadly strain) to make an “enhanced” version of the Clade II strain.
Two: The NIH / NIAID lied to Congress about these experiments until they were caught in March 2024.
Three: The NIH / NIAID continued to lie to Congress about the Gain-of-Function experiments on the Monkeypox virus.
Four: What appears to be proof that these Gain-of-Function experiments were going on is the science.org/ article above of 19 October 2022.
Five: At least one scientific paper has been published that appears to show that the Monkeypox virus was indeed Gain-of-Function manipulated prior to the 2022 outbreak (paper cited above.)
Six, and, IMO,very important: DO NOT FORGET that the Monkeypox virus and the SMALLPOX virus are CLOSELY RELATED.
Will we, Americans fall for Donkey Pox? NO.
The only thing Feds will get away with is mail voting.
Americans ARE done with pandemic bullshit AND Will Not Comply.
Someone in MAGA advocates everyone requests a mail-in-ballot and takes it with them, when going to vote in person. When they say, but you have already voted, show them the unopened envelope.
November 3, 2020 election, northern NV. \
Voted in person.
They asked for the ballot mailed to me. Handed it to them torn in several pieces.
They will not be able to Walk the Streets anymore:
Assholes are wearing masks.
It’s never too soon to show your commitment to the coming plandemic.
Happened in 2021 over Covid restrictions. Bartender was way ahead of his times.
Still a hero! Maybe more so since he knew what a jerk the guy was even back then. 😆
There’re literally brain dead at this point, lemmings going over the cliff.
Not one thought of their own, stupid on steroids.
Democrats building wall around convention center. I envision them needing to parachute in to the convention.
That dweeb resident ought to be worried about much more than parking and “transparency”….the protesters coming his way aren’t fat locals yellng no justice no peace. They’re professional protesters
ANTIFA is being SHIPPED IN FROM the EU…. Think 💥summer🔥 of 💫Love.💣
LOL…so much love coming the D’s way. I’m here for it!
I’m a little curious if there’s going to be a fake MAGA contingent acting up
From a SAFE DISTANCE!!!
The big difference is that they will now face a DEFUNDED POLICE.
In 1968, wasn’t it Mayor Daley, the tough guy? Telling his cop to KICK ASS? Against AMATEUR protesters?
What happens NOW? With professional violent protesters, defunded cops, and a weak mayor?
Could be ROUGH.
Do not forget the ARMED NATIONAL GUARD the gov is sending in.
MAGA needs to stay FAR FAR away from this.
GEE, Seems the DemonRats BELIEVE IN WALLS when their comfort and security is at stake…
LMAO!!!! Oh, that’s good!!!
There is a new Intellectual Froglegs!!

TY, barkerjim — it is not to be missed!
“Okay, got it, thank you.” 😂
.
I thought this was a prank because I thought Tampon Tim was fatter than this.
I need to pay closer attention. Now see’s this could indeed be Tampon Tim. Wow… Weird 😆
Drats.. wrong photo again… stuff keeps sticking in my photo catcher thing…
Dayum..about 60lbs less but that sure looks like it’s him ! What kind of performance did he give to get the bills tucked in his waistband?
Not sure, but that does look like a Minnesota type crowd. Surprised they let the weirdo dance like that. Must of been before he started to put the tampon dispensers in the men’s rooms
Advance money.
O M G
……
Tampon Tim gay as a three dollr bill.
What’s wrong with him?
😂
Relax.
Watch, Listen AND Enjoy…
(Best three minutes of my day.)
If you want to spend some time with a pro-God, pro-American, pro-family, pro-male/female gender reality event and environment, then take some time to watch a rodeo on TV.
The only knee I have ever seen any participant take is one to pause and thank God.
AMEN!
When we first came to NC I boarded my horses at a rodeo stable. The guys got stranded out west at a big rodeo while NC got a MAJOR snow storm. Their water lines froze so we begged old milk jugs from the rest of the people in the trailer park we were staying in. We used them to cart water to their stable to water all the livestock. Luckily I had chains for my pick-up and we were only a couple miles away.
There was no way their Mom could have handled the problem.
They trained horses and riders for team roping and bull dogging.
YEE HAW!!!! 😄
That’s what the cowboy said after he roped the Woke Idiot he caught untying his bull dogging horse.
Bad news for the Idiot — The cowboy was sitting on his calf roping horse. He roped and drug that fool thru the streets and seems the cops were ALL busy at the rodeo and SAW NOTHING.
The Woke PETA fools have left the rodeos alone since then.
My cousin’s grandson is Kyle Jones and he’s a PBR bull rider. All those things you mention above are true for Kyle and his family. Sometimes his mom shares videos of Kyle riding a bull and it is always exciting.
One of the teens who worked for me was a bull rider. He was also a cancer survivor.
The bull does not appear to be pleased. 😂
It is better than being someone’s BBQ…
Or even better, attend one in person! It’s the bulls and the blood, the dust and the mud, and they call the thing a rodeo!
I get to go see some PRCA in a couple of weeks. I’m excited.
Totally agree!

Trump-Vance Campaign Unveils Plan To ‘Barnstorm’ Battleground States During DNC
On Monday, Trump will hold an event focused on the economy and energy in York, Pennsylvania, and Vance will host an event with the same theme in Philadelphia. Tuesday brings events focused on crime and safety, with Trump hosting one in Detroit and Vance holding another in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Trump and Vance will unite on Wednesday to host a national security event in Asheboro, North Carolina. On Thursday, Trump is slated to host an immigration event in Montezuma Pass, Arizona, and Vance is set to hold a similar event in Valdosta, Georgia. And on Friday, Trump is scheduled to host a rally in Glendale, Arizona at 4 p.m. local time and a “No Tax On Tips” event in Las Vegas.
Their campaign also listed other events taking place in cities across the battleground states with the same themes as the main events of that day. Trump campaign “allies” will hold daily press conferences in Chicago from Monday through Thursday.

Sounds like a reasonable idea. I expect most of the assassins to be in Chicago this week.
Perhaps the contractor(s).
Assassins may have the next few days off.

“Absurdity” is indeed, the right word to use with the representations of our propagandist military spokespeople and media about this war.
h/t Marica’s blog —
I have it on good authority that there are a couple of black-hating, MAGA-hatted, noose-carrying rednecks primed to throw bleach on innocent people on their way home from Subway. The Governor should march the National Guard around enough to dissuade these terrorists.
And, because it’s a great excuse to do so…..
Maybe a Kent State replay?
Prolly depends on whether there’s ammo in those magazines.
As I said before MAGA should stay FAR FAR AWAY from this Fluster Cuck.
Steve with confirmation of bad news about kids who got jabbed, good news if they did not.

CRAP! However at least we now have a scientific study with a very large sample size to shove in the faces of the blind, deaf and dumb.
I already posted it to one of the pediatric orgs on X.
Right into their faces. Good job.
Thanks Wolfie!
This is so cute And Amaziing

SIMPLE SERENITY
When searching for simple serenity
The falsehood mask obscures verity
No way to determine or to perceive
The secret agenda there to deceive
What clues are provided for clarity
When relevance becomes a rarity
Has something been lost that cannot be found
Does the back and forth go round and around
We can’t move on when we do not let go
Of memories past tugging to and fro
We cannot go back to where we began
We must decide to move forward again
There is a direct path and place to be
That God has decided for you and me
To serve Him in this world until such time
We have completed our duty divine
It might not be what we wanted to do
Or probably something we even knew
Our lives are not written for us to view
To modify beforehand in the queue
What does it take to keep on going
How can we stop this to and froing
It takes faith in what can never be seen
To quit returning to where we have been
God wants us to prosper and live our lives
Free and happy and no longer take dives
Into a world of pestilence and pain
With no hope of happiness ever again
