This post is part of Health Friday, a series of offerings related to Big Pharma, vaccines, general health, and associated topics. The discussion is not limited to what is presented today; it is an Open Thread. However, since this presentation is about a COVID-19 “vaccine”, the post is dedicated to the memory of Yours Truly’s cousin Bill, who died “suddenly and unexpectedly” in September 2023.
To begin, there are Important Wolf Moon Notifications, with a couple of extra items:
Free Speech is practiced here: “Use it or lose it.”
The following are alternate Q Tree sites for certain circumstances:
The U Tree is for “argue it out” interactions. There is a “Featured” article at this site for use as a “Rescue Thread.”
The “third site”, in case the above two are inaccessible.
Civil discussion is practiced here. The excellent and timely Rules of our late, good Wheatie prevail:
One: No food fights.
Two: No running with scissors.
Three: If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Please follow the added Guidelines from Wolf Moon. Please do not give the modern-day version of Cato the Elder the opportunity to show “enmity” to the board.
The extra items: What Yours Truly presents in this series, as in her other blog posts to this board, is not medical advice — the are opinions and hypotheses based on her over 4 1/2 years (and continuing) of reading about, researching out, and writing about “all things COVID”, Big Pharma, and other health topics. Readers are encouraged to consult a healthcare practitioner regarding health concerns or conditions.
The Health Friday post today concerns the impending Retraction of a peer-reviewed and published paper that details long-term COVID-19 “vaccine”-induced injuries in North India. The paper was submitted to Springer for review and publishing on 9 January 2024; it was accepted (it had passed the peer-review process); and it was published on 13 May 2024. Here is a free-access version (to read the entire paper on Springer, one has to either access through an institution, or to pay for a copy): www.qeios.com/read/JK7IBA/pdf, “Long-Term Safety Analysis of the BBV152 Coronavirus Vaccine in Adolescents and Adults: Findings from a 1-Year Prospective Study in North India”, Upinder Kaur, et al., 13 May 2024. The study was conducted at Banaras Hindu University in India. BBV152 is another name for the COVAXIN COVID-19 “vaccine”, developed by Bharat BIotech of India in cooperation with Indian Council on Medical Research (ICMR) – National Institute of Virology. ICMR receives “royalty payments” for each dose of COVAXIN that is administered, as does Bharat Biotech (Sound familiar? — as in, the co-development, co-ownership of patents, and sharing of “royalty payments” between the NIAID and Moderna for the modRNA COVID-19, mRNA-1273?)
For purposes of today’s offering, the trail begins here: https://blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/breaking-journal-pressured-to-retract, 23 September 2024. Dr. Demasi has a PhD in Rheumatology from the University of Adelaide (Australia.)
The Kaur, et al., paper referenced above was published by Springer on 13 May 2024. Almost immediately, the attacks began on the paper, the authors, and the publisher — with articles like this one: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/1-in-3-covaxin-recipients-hit-by-adverse-events-study/articleshow/110187284.cms, “1 in 3 Covaxin recipients hit by adverse events: Study”, 17 May 2024. On 18 May 2024, the ICMR demanded that Springer retract the paper (Yours Truly: nothing like causing panic in a government agency when the truth is published about a “vaccine” that the agency is pushing as “safe and effective,” especially when that agency is also getting “royalty payments” for the use of the “vaccine”, is there?). But, the attack on Springer and the authors didn’t end there. In July 2024, Bharat Biotech filed a lawsuit against Springer and the authors (some of the authors are students), demanding retraction of the paper and the payment of damages to Bharat Biotech of $600,000 US dollars (50 million Indian rupees.) In addition, the lawsuit accused the paper’s authors of defamation against the company, included with a demand for separate damages to be paid to the company for defamation. Despite sworn statements from the authors that no defamation was intended or written into the paper; and, despite the fact that Nitin Joshi, the editor of the Springer journal (Drug Safety) in which the study appeared, was one of the reviewers who approved the study for publishing, it was Joshi who notified the authors on 28 August 2024 that he was going to have the paper retracted. He confirmed this decision in an email to the authors on 17 September. However, as the defamation lawsuit is now in court, the study is still available on the internet.
What is BBV152/COVAXIN? It is an “inactivated whole virion vaccine” (whole virus vaccine) for “active immunization” against COVID-19. It is not an mRNA-based/modRNA-based COVID-19 “vaccine”, although it does use an “ancestral wave strain” of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus (in other words, a strain from the Wuhan Hu1 virus that occurred before the Beta, Delta, or Omicron strains.) The Package Insert for COVAXIN is here: www.bharatbiotech.com/images/covaxin/covaxin-pack-insert.pdf. Below is an image from the Package Insert:
Per Wikipedia, 363,774,435 persons in India had been “vaccinated” with at least one dose of COVAXIN as of 4 March 2023.
However, the COVAXIN Package Insert does not actually describe how the “vaccine” works (the “Mechanism of Action.”) Yours Truly found something along the lines of the necessary information here: www.clinicaltrialsarena.com/projects/covaxin-bbv152-for-the-treatment-of-covid-19/?cf-view&cf-closed, “COVAXIN (BBV152) for the Treatment of Covid-19, India”, 28 June 2022. Below is a screenshot from this article:
But, COVAXIN has been hailed by the Indian government about being “the first indigenous COVID-19 vaccine in India” (www.bharatbiotech.com/covaxin.html.) Why is ViroVax involved? (More on this later in the post.) Back to the Package Insert for COVAXIN. Below is a screenshot of the ingredients used in this “vaccine”:
Looking further into the ingredients list, starting with the NIV-2020-770 strain of SARS-CoV-2: please refer to this paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7825810/, “Safety and immunogenicity of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, BBV152: a double-blind, randomised Phase 1 trial”, Krishna Mohan Vadrevu, et al., May 2021. It appears that NIV-2020-770 (the “inactivated whole virion”) is part of the Asp614Gly variant chain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Asp614Gly variant itself is apparently part of the “ancestral wave” of the original Wuhan Hu1 SARS-CoV-2 virus; and, it is “not as serious” as the Beta or the Delta waves of the virus. Please refer to this article: www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/langlo/PIIS2214-109X(22)00199-1.pdf, Vol.10, July 2022, a Comment “Decoding the next SARS-CoV-2 variant”, by Jeremy Nel and WD Francois Venter. Below is a screenshot of a portion from the Comment:
Thus, BBV152/COVAXIN cannot be considered to be one of the “most recent” types of COVID-19 “vaccines”, as it does not include any elements before the Beta, Delta, or Omicron variants.
The Aluminium Hydroxide Gel in the ingredients (it is an “excipient” [“adjuvant]”): this is also called “Algel-IMDG” and “Alhydroxiqium-II” — in other words, it is a hydrogel. It was invented by ViroVax LLC of Lawrence, Kansas, under the aegis of the EpscoR Idea Foundation (part of the National Science Foundation in the United States), and with funding by the NIAID. This is the ViroVax / United States government connection. Here is a screenshot from an article by the EpscoR Idea Foundation on this “success story” (www.epscorideafoundation.org/success-stories/kansas-adjuvant-developed-with-nih-funding-enhances-efficacy-of-indias-covid-19-vaccine):
Note that Alhydroxiqium-II targets the lymph nodes of the person who takes COVAXIN. So, while this excipient is not exactly a lipid nanoparticle (LNP), it, in Yours Truly’s opinion, basically functions like an LNP in targeting the lymph nodes for delivery of the “vaccine payload” of COVAXIN; and, by “stimulating” the “vaccinated” person’s natural immune system to go and “search” for invading pathogens. By the way, Aluminium Hydroxide Gel is not to be used in foods, drugs pesticides, or “biocidal” products — see the screenshot below, from the search on Fisher Scientific (ThermoFisher) about this chemical, Page 1:
HOWEVER, it appears that FisherScientific had a “change of heart” since December 2021 regarding the “Uses advised against” for Aluminium Hydroxide — below is their MSDS Safety Sheet as of February 2024, Page 1:
Here is another source for an MSDS Safety Sheet, this one specifically for Aluminium Hydroxide Gel: www.oxfordlabfinechem.com/msds/ALUMINIUMHYDROXIDEGEL.pdf. Please see section 3 Hazards Identification; and section 11 Toxicological Information Special Remarks on Other Toxic Effects on Humans. Below is part of the Special Remarks portion of section 11:
The TLR7/8 excipient (adjuvant) in COVAXIN: This one is used in immunotherapy, including in the treatment of HIV-1. Please see: https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2023.1033448, “Novel TLR7/8 agonists promote activation of HIV-1 latent reservoirs and human T and NK cells”, Yangyang Li, et al., 26 January 2023. This begs the question, Why is an HIV-1 immunotherapy treatment element being used in a COVID-19 “vaccine?” This also, in Yours Truly’s opinion, removes any consideration of COVAXIN to be labeled a “vaccine” — it is actually a gene therapy/immunotherapy injectable.
And, the 2-Phenoxyethanol excipient (adjuvant) in COVAXIN. Below is a screenshot portion of the Fisher Scientific (ThermoFisher) MSDS Safety Sheet for this chemical, Page 1:
The Kaur, et al., paper, goes into detail regarding the types of reported serious adverse events that affected the study subject pool who took COVAXIN. Three pages of the Supplementary Table 1. from the paper are below. Note that these are details from subjects one year after “vaccination” with COVAXIN. Note also that another paper from December 2020 (by different authors) shows that the S1 protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier.
If Yours Truly is reading about this situation correctly, it appears that one of the “problems” with the Kaur, et al., paper, is that the subject pool of COVAXIN-“vaccinated” persons in North India who reported serious adverse events following “vaccination” to the study authors was “small.” One has to ask: How many COVAXIN-“vaccine”-induced serious adverse events would need to be reported before they would be considered “relevant” by the Indian government and by Bharat BioTech? — say, a “minimum” of 3 million adverse events reports? Is it “within acceptable limits” that COVAXIN-“vaccinated” persons in North India suffer a stroke or a heart attack after “vaccination” with this product? Is this another situation of “the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks” of taking a COVID-19 “vaccine”, which is the “official” position of the CDC and the FDA in the United States?
Yours Truly has gone into detail regarding the situation with BBV152/COVAXIN for several reasons: First, to enumerate the multiple potentials for “vaccine”-induced serious adverse effects from this COVID-19 “vaccine” product; Second, to highlight the persecution of the authors of a paper who sought to study and write about these potentials; Third, to highlight the persecution of the journal that peer-reviewed, approved, and published the paper; Fourth, to bring to light the involvement of the United States government (via the NSF and the NIAID) in the funding and development of an ingredient (excipient/adjuvant) in this “vaccine” intended for use in a foreign country; and, Fifth, to again emphasize how important it is that consumers “do their own due diligence” regarding information on drugs and/or injectables that they put into their bodies.
Peace, Good Energy, Respect: PAVACA
Another Healthy Chunk of Friday Information. Thank you, CV, for doin’ the slog!
Coothie
Thank you. If anything, today’s post should be a clear indication that ALL of the COVID-19 “vaccines” are dangerous and deadly. There is NO “safe and effective” COVID-19 “vaccine.” Period.
I never cease to be amazed at the disconnect between all the negatives that are known about the “vaxes” in contrast to their continuing to be promoted and taken by so many people.
I don’t believe in those supposed benefits. I don’t believe a word that any of the “experts” say anymore.
Thank you for all the info, Pavaca.
I was trying to add up all the risks from Ivermectin, and I kept coming up with the same number, basically none.
Then I thought about all the risks from covid vaxx, and there were a lot more than none.
Then I tried just thinking about whether Ivermectin actually worked — and as it turns out, it does.
And when I tried thinking about whether covid vaxx actually worked, I noticed that it didn’t.
Then I thought about how much I love having needles jammed into me, and it turns out, I don’t.
Then I thought to myself, self, why should I jam a needle in my arm, with something that has a lot of unneccesary risk, and doesn’t even work for the purpose it was supposedly created?
And right around then is when it occurred to me, I shouldn’t.
Then I asked myself, I said self, why wouldn’t you just take the Ivermectin? It’s safe, it works, it’s cheap, it’s readily available… and the best part is, all the right people are against it.
And I couldn’t come up with any good reason not to just take the Ivermectin.
It’s not too cold, it’s not too hot, it’s just right.
So that’s just what I did 👍 😁
👍
This ^^^ should be copied and pasted for everybody to read and remember. The simple logic is how it should go with everything. If it works better for some, insert HCQ in place of Ivermectin. I use Ivermectin.
This whole thing killed off what little trust we had left in government and the medical industry. There will never be any ‘trust but verify’ (PRR’s words) with us. It will always be suspiciously verify repeatedly before trusting. We are mentoring our family and circle of influence to do likewise.
A huge thank you to PAVACA for her diligent work to enlighten us and the world. I read all of this opener post and will reread again. But as soon as I saw Aluminum Hydroxide Gel, I knew this was poison.
It perfectly illustrates that COVID and the jabs have been a worldwide lab rate experiment that has result in genocide and eventually working toward the scum’s goal of depopulation. The second most populated nation on earth vaccinated nearly 400 million people with this mess. They gave cheap Ivermectin to another quarter of a billion people in another region instead. Censorship will probably kill the truth of any research about the outcomes of both.
But we know how it turns out.

Thank you. It is an honor and a privilege to bring the Health Friday posts.
According to Merriam-Webster, “aluminum” and “aluminium” are the same thing, just spelled differently.
Hmmm, wasn’t there a kerfluffle some years ago regarding the “rumors” that using aluminum cooking pots could cause Alzheimer’s Disease?
My wife still thinks so. I figure that it’s probably true but I’m too old to give a crap since the damage if any has already happened.

Thank you.
The only real reservations Yours Truly has regarding IVM or HCQ is that they can cause nausea, dizziness, and/or vertigo. IMO, persons who are already prone to dizziness/vertigo (due to side effects from a prescription drug; or who have Traumatic Brain Injury, etc.) should consult with a doctor. The dosage amount of the IVM or HCQ may need to be adjusted. IMO, a healthcare provider who is FLCCC or AFLDS affiliated, or a healthcare provider who “has seen the light” are good ones to consult if there are concerns.
Hi P.
I have suffered from vertigo before, and so am cautious about anything that might set it off. From my experience with vitamin I, the first time I took it, I had a bit of vertigo/vision issues. I wasn’t careful with timing it, or anything. I took it in the morning after my customary smoothie.
When I took it again, I made sure I took it after a BIG noon meal, with plenty of protein and fat. This was MUCH better. I don’t have any issues when I do that.
Lots of medicines cause nausea and such for some of us. So we have to be more aware.
I also have a friend who is “sensitive” to most meds, so she takes half the recommended amount of vitamin I when she needs it. She doesn’t have issues with it then. So the dosing could be a factor for her.
Similar story here. Low-dose works great for me, and the minor side effects are much less with a big meal.
🙂
Good to know that it is not just me with the food thing. More info helps me make recommendations for others.
Same here with the vision. However, it actual helps my vision sharpen the next day. Taking it after lunch now.
Amazing the wisdom in nursery rhymes that we never knew was there.
Lol. Most “nursery rhymes” are about something other than a child’s game. I think it’s fun to look up the origins of them.
“Ring Around the Rosie” was about the Black Death, bubonic plague.
I think this explanation of “Jack and Jill” is the best, though there are other possibilities:
“In this interpretation, the nursery rhyme tells the story of the execution of the king and queen in 1793 during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. “Jack and Jill went up the hill,” in which the hill represents the steps to the guillotine. Jack (King Louis XVI) was the first to be beheaded and “lost his crown,” and then Jill (Marie Antoinette’s head) “came tumbling after.””
https://owlcation.com/humanities/Meanings-of-Jack-and-Jill
Yep.
Wow. I had never heard that.
Truly astonishing. TPTB just keep on going with no concern for the truth. Doesn’t make a dent. And what exactly – – EXACTLY – – does that mean about there intent? We don’t know, other than it is evil.
Q. And what exactly – – EXACTLY – – does that mean about there intent? We don’t know, other than it is evil.
A. Locally, as in me, myself and I. The answer is crystal clear AND it is evil.
I Never, Ever, lose sight of, 14 of 15 have to go.
They’ve said it. Their actions and all evidence, supports it.—-
Off The Wall.
Covid largely failed. Covidiot Jabs never met expectations. (Death Rate to low.)
Any more, I’ve been pondering Ukraine debacle. Why Briben, DoS, DoD, UK, EU, NATO are all hellbent on “supporting” Ukraine.
Momentarily casting aside 1) Russia evil, 2) hide every government support Ukraine is hiding government(s) corruption, and 3) Biolabs, is there an over riding, higher incentive to “support” Ukraine.
Could it be. WWIII with nuclear war, supports 14 of 15 Will Go Away.
We can’t see the forest through the trees.
Tin foil hat firmly in place.
14/15 is still their goal. Always will be.
TradeBait2
Yes. Along with total control over the ones who are “permitted” to survive.
I suspect they will keep working three tracks:
1- Bird Flu
2 – Monkey Pox
3- something nuclear, but with new lies to support a very similar covidiot injection plan of some kind
They want to use FEAR to drive the needed crowd behavior (inject poisons and sterilants), without ruining the planet too much for themselves.
If a nuke goes off here, they will immediately push iodine anti-radiation shots [with who knows what’s in it].
If a nuke goes off anywhere else, they will push the same but they’ll add a media campaign of weather-spreading the contamination.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Demons!
TheseTruths
Thank you, you are very kind.
The CDC / FDA / AMA / Establishment Medicine / Big Pharma — they ALL know that the COVID-19 “vaccines” are dangerous and deadly. IMO, there is no “disconnect” related to these entities.
Among the general population — IMO, they were “dumbed down” into / “mandated into / coerced into, taking the COVID-19 “vaccines”: to keep their jobs; to see their relatives; to “save humanity from disaster.” The general public ** may ** be starting to wake up regarding the truth about the “vaccines.”
Among the healthcare provider class: They are trained to rely on the “advice” and “recommendations” of the CDC / FDA / AMA / Establishment Medicine / Big Pharma. That’s what they followed. But by doing this, they ALSO not only went against their training regarding how long and arduous the timeline is to develop/test/collate date/submit information to the CDC-FDA; they ALSO violated the “First, Do No Harm” of the Hippocratic Oath they all took.
Yours Truly is sorry for these healthcare providers now. Even IF some (maybe more than some) of them realize the dangers of the COVID-19 “vaccines” poisons that they have in their bodies, they literally have to decide whether to say anything about it, since saying anything about it could cost them their jobs, their teaching positions, their board certifications, their Licenses to Practice Medicine.
This is because the AMA and the board certification granting organizations have weaponized the medical profession.
“Yours Truly is sorry for these healthcare providers now.

P, I can only hope that they realize that, while their jobs, positions, etc., are all very important for their short span here on Earth, continuing to kill people to maintain them could possibly earn them an eternity in Hell.
It’s not worth it.
Aubergine
Yes. It’s not worth it. Even if a healthcare provider doesn’t believe in eternal punishment, perhaps they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves if it’s worth it to lose their integrity, let alone the trust of their patients.
Along with all those professional costs, there’s the likely loss of health insurance at a time when one is most likely to need it.
I should ask my oncologist what entity is paying my bills since it isn’t my Medicare insurance [Humana]. Somebody is doing it and at one point it was running an average of $75,000+ per month for most of 2021.
Must be a crazy loophole of Medicaid. Has to be an accidental loophole since it makes no sense to give somebody below the poverty line such thorough coverage outside of the regular insurance policy.
If you are a beneficiary of all the Covid money, at least I know one person helped. I’d vote that sometimes it is best not to question gifts from God. Just give Him thanks. A case might be made that you are a money-laundering-conduit without even knowing it. Perhaps that is why the expense is so high.
Understood.
I tend to be skeptical about insider sources except in a few cases, but I hope this report is true.
Even if this is true.
Vote! Vote! Vote! Make the landslide even bigger!!!
YES!!!
I don’t just want NC, GA, and AZ — I want PA, MI, WI! I want them to be sweating NY and WA! I want this to be the biggest stuff in the history of stuffage! I want them looking in the mirror and seeing McGovern!
Going for 49. Hawaii a lost cause. Well OK, a few more loser shit holes may be a bridge to far. IL, NJ, OR…
Prolly still to optimistic.
DJT could do a townhall and a rally in Hawaii, talk about all the Leftist gov’t failure over the Maui fires, and the way the rich and famous child traffickers and freak-off losers use their beautiful islands as their own personal perversion playgrounds, and he is going to stop it and put ’em all in prison.
He would win Hawaii easily 👍😁
You must be part of the DJT ‘in-crowd’, with info like that.
You KNOW it! 👍 😂
Like a giant Oreo with triple stuff!
Now we know how to win negotiations with you. Just bring a package of triple stuffed Oreos and set ’em on the table.
Your capitulation to our terms will be immediate. 😂
Absolutely!
Another astonishing aspect of our present situation. Nothing can be trusted, ulterior motives must be assumed (Aubergine’s razor), but hope comes before all.
PDJT:
Great timing (planned, I’m sure) since this provides another buzz for the Trump campaign.
some wimmin should not wear pantsuits.
She looks heavier there than I think I’ve ever seen her.
oh yeah, heavy all right…

Oh that made me laugh.

i was going to say that too
She should dress like Hitlary Clinton, in one of those pastel colored chairman Mao outfits.
It’s a great look for despots.
Top-heavy women should not. It just makes them look fat.
WGTTs hide all sins. Trust me. 😂
To each their own, I guess.
Don’t you have a couple? I seem to remember you once commenting that you had personal knowledge of the traits and travails of WGTTs.
Lol, not me!
I am a C-cup girl now. I used to be a “more than would fill a champagne glass is wasted” girl, before babies.
Kids change A Lot of things 😉
Ain’t that the truth!
😎
That would be Pat and me. I went paleo for a while and suddenly gained cup sizes. The standard American diet seems to stunt that, too.
They’ve grown on Kamala over the years.
I never thought of her as top-heavy before. I’m wondering if that photo has been doctored.
I think it has. Everyone in it seems a little extra-wide.
I would guess she’s not very top heavy, just bulletproof vest heavy.
She could certainly be middle-heavy and lower heavy though.
Certainly no mass at the very top…vacuum skull.
Time for a little breather… 😁
Storm Up Date! Sounds Serious.
That was weird.
I read that one meteorologist said people should have evacuated if told to do so. He said that a 15-20-foot storm surge is not survivable.
Sounds like a real helpful guy.
A 15-20 storm surge is eminently survivable if you’re 25-30 feet up, and whatever is under you doesn’t wash out.
what’s “under” most of the west coast of Florida is beach sand that washes away….and a lot of pavement to keep all that surge water from being absorbed
I’ve seen what 6′ storm surge can do…
15-20′ is, indeed, catastrophic & will result in significant flooding & beach erosion.
storm surge is relentless, over & over again, pounding the same coastal area, sometimes as far as a mile or so inland in low terrain.
I’m just suggesting that saying “15-20 storm surge is not survivable” when you’re a meteorologist is like saying, “a 15-20 storm surge is not survivable within the range of my station’s reporting”.
I could certainly see “not survivable on this beach” or “not survivable on this island”, but it’s pushing things to make such a general statement — and to what benefit — is he laying down a marker for those out of the area to start making funeral arrangements?
This is a serious big storm that will notch up a whole lotta damage. It’d be nice if Mr. Helpful could do better than blaming victims and prognosticating doom.
right, I didn’t watch him there in the post’s video…the meteorologist should be more professional and not panic.
probably just trying to get ppl to evacuate ?
but evacuating is even more stressful esp in this type of sprawling massive slow-moving hurricane : where the heck does one evacuate to, exactly ?? Alaska ? airports are shut down, can’t fly out…roadways are congested beyond hope plus flooded and in the path of destruction…and then there’s the horrific aftermath of these things where one can’t return, sometimes, for weeks.
once it hits, if you haven’t evacuated, and the surge is mounting quickly, you’re on yr own…maybe that meteorologist has experienced that.
….and if you haven’t evacuated, and you’re on your own, and you’re scrambling to survive…..you really need a friendly voice on the radio telling you that you should have made another choice and now you’re doomed.
He would have been more helpful if he had led a prayer.
I’m sorry if I’m cranky. I think part of it is the Xanax wearing off. I hold you, personally, in the highest regard and I’m grateful that you are bringing dispatches of news. I just want this particular weatherman to get a swift kick in the keister.
copy that.
no offense taken.
TY. 🙂
It’s a parody. Check out his name at the bottom.
That’s a parody, but the quote I saw about the 15-20-foot storm surge was not. I think the guy was just speaking in general and warning people that if they think they can wait out the storm with that much water pouring over their house, they’re going to be in big trouble.
Storm surge is a lot like a tsunami, with the added “bonus” of having a massive storm going on at the same time with wind and rain. 15-20 feet is seriously no joke — one story is about 10 feet, so it could be well into the second floor. Because it’s also a surge, it can push-in walls and move debris and vehicles into places they can cause more damage.
I wish prayer were easier for me that I could better ask for God’s mercy on those afflicted.
“I wish prayer were easier for me that I could better ask for God’s mercy on those afflicted.”
Just ask…He hears us all when we pray…
I can sort of deal with that for a beautiful sunset, or a happy child, or an opportunity to do good…..
But — and I have no idea where I get the impulse from — I feel that a formal prayer is due for a more complex benefit, especially for someone else. It’s like anything less than a sonnet or sestina is being “half-assed”.
It may have something to do with my admiration of the KJV, which not only “does the job”, but is so beautiful.
I agree about the beauty of the KJV but that’s not a requirement of prayer, just an enhancement.
“Enter His gates with thanksgiving in your heart and enter His courts with praise”
The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) is a model that Jesus taught us all.
Matthew 6: 5-13, NIV
Prayer
5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11
Give us today our daily bread.
12
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13
And lead us not into temptation,[a]

and a very pertinent passage
Psalm 32: 6-7
6
Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
will not reach them.
7
You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2032&version=NIV
I put “pray” in bible gateway’s search engine & got all references including “prayer” etc.
Be at peace brother and just call on the Lord!
This is a good one too:

Yes TY!
“It may have something to do with my admiration of the KJV, which not only “does the job”, but is so beautiful.”
____________
If it helps, just add ‘eth’ to the end of any word that could use a dose of KJV olde English formality.
Giveth, goeth, helpeth, stinketh, runneth, riseth, baketh, knoweth, answereth, doeth, careth, etc.
If you want to spice it up a little more, throw in some words that end in ‘est’.
Callest, mayest, sendest, doest, goest, givest, knowest, etc.
You’ll sound like a proper medieval thespian in no time 👍
Or you might think it sounds a little silly halfway through, and laugh, which will relax you enough to just say what you mean 😁
LOL
I taketh thy meaning, tho.
I rejoice in other’s ability to pray with spontaneous grace and seek to emulate them, but frequently feel particularly clumsy and unworthy.
Just be yourself & talk to The One who is Always listening 🙂
This is great advice. I keep in mind that God already knows how painfully deficient I am.
It takes almost all of the pressure off. We can’t hide Anything from Him so why not just be transparent to the Lover of our souls 😇
Just talk to the best friend who loves you more than anyone else ever could, relax, share from your heart. Be Blessed 🙂
God knows your abilities perfectly and most importantly, he knows your heart. I have heard heartfelt prayers by uneducated people who didn’t speak “properly.” It’s the heart that counts.
Exodus 4:
10
And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11
And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
No he does not. He hears the cries of His children. No others, primarily because those others are non-believers.
God does not open Satan’s mail.
I gently disagree. He hears Everyone but that doesn’t mean that He gives us all what we ask for…
So you believe He answers or even hears sinners’ prayers? There are Scriptures where He states that he does not.
I’m too lazy to go look them up right now.
If He didn’t hear sinners’ prayers then none of us would be saved!
It’s a parody.
Look at the meteorologist’s name at the bottom: “Jim Acosted.”
Yes, I’m sure.. 😆 got a good laugh when he said the Hurricane should loop around toward texas and blow all the illegals back across the border. 👍
Lol, me too!
Hilarious.
You wouldn’t have ever been divorced would you 😉 😉
“Satan’s Butthole” got me, which is why I sent it to Hubby LOL
Fortunately, no divorce.
I have, half jokingly, (or was I), told DW from the beginning.
No return. No refund. No exchange. She’s stuck with me for good. 😎
The absolute rule in our house is I am the head and we never argue.
Worked for 21+ years so far.
Have had some lively discussions, though. 🤔
Our philosophy too! Hubby is the first one in 4 generations, on his dad’s side & 3 generations on his mom’s side, to not get a divorce. God is good!
LIVE UPDATES On How Helene Is Impacting Parts of SC, NC and GA
link, with videos…
https://www.wyff4.com/article/helene-flooding-live-updates-damage-south-carolina/62384809
as of 1:20 am, 9/27
Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend as a powerful CAT 4 at around11:10 pm Thursday….some say 11:25 pm…max sustained winds at 140 mph.
still churning….Florida’s still getting hammered at 2:11 am…
a lot of tornadoes, apparently, with this.
scenes from Sarasota & Manatee, Fl as Helene passes by….storm surge…
video…

It looks like it’s curving slightly to the east of Atlanta and more toward the SC border.
Further, it’s turning from black to red.
C’mon, weaken! weaken! weaken!
it’s also slowing down, apparently, and that’s not good.
Unless it slows down right over wherever Nathan Wade is hiding out, and stays there, until he remembers whether he was ever in a cabin with Big Fanny 😂

Thank you for this.
All of Central and Western North Carolina is now under a Tornado Watch until this evening.
The rains and rising wind have started here.
Yours Truly saw people who were walking their dogs on the golf course that borders my back yard start to run. One man was walking on the golf course, and a small branch from a tree in my back yard fell near him. He started to run in the other direction.
Schools and businesses in the Raleigh-Durham-Research Triangle area are either closing early or have closed for the day. Power outages, flooded roads, etc., are expected. The storm is heading here from the Clemson, SC area.
It appears that Hurricane Helene did indeed “split” into almost two separate storms after it was pushed by that huge storm that came down from Canada. One “split” went westward into TN, KY; the other “split” went into SC, NC, and will move up into VA.
yes, you’re welcome.
it’s actually starting to creep up into Ohio now…
We’ve had lots of wind here in SE MI today
Looks like Helene’s up to the Valdosta area already. Hopefully it’s drying out and losing energy.
EXCLUSIVE: Stephen K. Bannon Pens ‘Victory is at Hand’ Message to MAGA from Danbury Prison.
Wait till next week when he is BACK in the WarRoom.
I can’t wait. for his first Rant.
I’d love for him to quote Nigel when his mike goes live — “Wakey, wakey!”
For those unfamiliar with the occasion, some wanker in the UK named Matt Gallagher wrote: “June 24, 2018 – Good to see we’ll be staying in the EU. If I wake up to NigelFarage‘s smiling face I’ll kill myself #EUref RETWEETS LIKES 3 28 6:43 PM – 23 Jun 2016 3 328″ on the night of the Brexit vote.
Brexit passed.
And the next morning, his post had a reply — A picture of Nigel Farage’s smiling face with the caption, “Wakey, wakey!”
LOL
I’m guessing MG didn’t kill himself, just like our “celebs” didn’t leave America when Trump won (the first time) even though they said they would 😉 😉
😂
. . . also a quote from Crocodile Dundee.
Thought Bannon had a four moth sentence in the Gulag. Freeing him 1 Nov.
Hope you are correct and I am wrong.
Both are right. It’s a ‘good behavior discount’.
Had not read, good behavior in play.
Navarro got screwed out of it.
Pleasantly surprised if Bannon truly walks out 1 October.
Bannon will be on fire.
Yes Peter got screwed but he probably scowled at a guard. Depending on the prison, that could be an infraction. And no, I’m not joking – it’s called mean face [or something similar].
Bureau of Prisons is a criminal organization itself.
Won’t be number one on Trump’s list, but they are going to have forced changes.
Sadists R Us 😡
Next week? I thought he had another month in prison. I hope I’m wrong.
We were wrong. Apparently good behavior worked a month off.
👍🏼
A victory of this magnitude means sweeping control of the House, Senate, and the Presidency.
And no Paul Ryan this time!
Gonna take an MTG to run, Rule the House properly.
Keep in mind, the Speaker does not have to be a representative.
I personally would like to see Dave Brat or even Bob Good [who just lost his primary]. Both have prior experience with the place but they don’t go along to get along.

Politics https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f1fa-1f1f8.svg
I want to encourage as many people as possible to switch to a Linux distribution and away from Windows. It takes some learning and doing some howework on the subject. In fact if you live in certain countries like the UK or Australia, I would argue that making the switch is a necessity, due to privacy concerns. But it’s worth it.
There are a ton of videos on Youtube about how to make the switch. If your unsure about linux, you can actually try a distribution on a virtual machine running on your computer to see if you like it first.
https://gab.com/BearItGaming/posts/113196117460568038
I would recommend that everyone move to Linux, but I should also warn that it involves a couple of major shifts in thinking.
Adopting an operating system is usually like getting a toy truck. It looks like a truck, acts like a truck, and you can play with it all day long.
Using Linux is like getting an erector set. The picture on the outside of the box might look like a truck — and, if you build it according to directions, you can get a toy truck that looks like a truck, acts like a truck, and you can play with it as a truck all day long.
But there are also instructions to build the same kit as a bulldozer. You can build it as a bulldozer, you get a toy bulldozer that looks like a bulldozer, acts like a bulldozer, and you can play with it as a bulldozer all day long.
Or you can buy a bigger kit to build a cantilevered crane. Or a bridge. Or a railroad locomotive. Or a building. There are literally thousands of parts out there.
A Linux distro is a curated set of parts meant to build a certain subset of things. “Enterprise” Linux, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Ubuntu Pro or SUSE, are very stable and reliable for doing large-company processing, where everything has to work together. Edubuntu is meant to support classroom learning. Ubuntu Studio is meant to create audio/video projects. Kali Linux is meant to probe the limits of computer security.
Yet these are all “Linux”.
The first shift is from buying a “thing” from Microsoft to using a Linux collection. The next shift is the dynamism of all the parts. If you want a web browser, a text editor, an office suite, a vector graphics editor, a media player, or a desktop, there are a variety of alternatives in Linux, even within a curated distro. Each is loved and maintained by someone or some group of real people. You can talk to them, and they generally respond — if you have a suggestion, they might implement it…..or, if you can construct the implementation, they may adopt it (and give you credit). There may be 60,000 parts to your Linux installation — some may have stayed the same for 20 years because they were done so well…..and some may have been upgraded last week.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a complete Linux nut to use the system, but it is quite helpful to know the environment.
What is gained by using Linux is complete control over your entire system in a way that Windows or iOS will never give you.
Always read these Linux posts with interest, and always come away with the same (wistful) thought: I would need someone sitting next to me telling me and showing me how to do it.
ditto
in cases like this, i would be more than happy to barter services. I am a very good baker, i have excellent sewing skills, and am great at cleaning and organizing. i would wanna talk trade.
Me too! I love pruning bushes and pulling weeds!
sounds like a good deal to me…I hate those things!
pat frederick
You bet, trade.
Yours Truly can crochet, write, coach singers or pianists.
sounds like one needs to be more of a computer programmer than just an end user; also I really appreciate the Tinker Toy analogy 🙂
It might help to be a programmer or at least have some engineering background, (me being another N=1 anecdote), but the bar is lower than that.
Fortunately.
When out walking the dog, I get to meet the other people in the neighborhood who also have dogs, and although for the most part, the topic on meeting is our dogs, what their names are, what breed or mix they are etc. The effect is that I know the names of most of the dogs in this area, but the names of only a few of their owners.
But sometimes other topics come up. Such as houses for sale. Or what my ham antennas are. Or in the present case, about some PCs not working. Surprisingly enough the woman who asked was trying to pull things off a broken PC for a friend; her own machine was working. Then the question of operating systems came up. She had long ago decided to switch to Linux for her daily driver PC — and now the question was about how to best go about trying to pull data off of that other broken PC. I mentioned some tools such as file and dd that might possibly be useful.
And her day job is with landscaping, paving, arranging the planting of bushes and pretty flowers near schools and other public areas. Not a desk job where one is paid for the results of what physically amounts to sitting and thinking and writing down the thoughts. Yet she is comfortable with Linux for what she needs.
TY 🙂
Linux is on my to-do Eventually list 😉
One thing to be clear about.
We are talking about laptop and desktop computers…not phones and tablets as pushed by Android and Apple. The tablet isn’t impossible but will be a metric shittonne of work.
Yes, there are Linux phones but…well, don’t get me started. At absolute best, you’ll need to buy a different phone and it won’t be cheap. At worst, you’ll do that and the phone won’t work.

That’s because all government is, clearly, is organized crime, criminals who enforce their will through threats and violence, to line their own pockets.

Happy Joy Hour !
Now Ramirez needs to do it with the children and other completely innocent people who were arbitrarily murdered as “acceptable” collateral damage. He should have a child handing the phone over.
That is the issue: what is “acceptable” collateral damage? That is an issue people disagree on, but that is the issue.
The reason Americans need to think about the issue seriously is – – the interests of the American people might be viewed, categorically, as acceptable damage by actors who could not care less about the interests of the American people, and who may actually be trying to destroy those interests.
Both sides of the issue need to acknowledge and address the issue of collateral damage, and ask if the view of a foreign government acting in its own interests must be accepted, or you will be called a name, or worse.
“…the interests of the American people might be viewed, categorically, as acceptable damage by actors who could not care less about the interests of the American people, and who may actually be trying to destroy those interests…”
I have no idea what you are trying to say there.
Regardless of how they portray themselves, foreign governments will do things in their own interests despite knowing it will harm American interests.
Ramirez was being polite there…

I still don’t know exactly what yr beef is.
sounds like a lot of sanctimonious hypocrisy, no offense.
you seem to beating around the bush about being anti Israel.
and, in all honesty, I really don’t want to battle it out here with you..
I have nothing against you personally.
I would not call it a beef. I would say my mind has been opened to possibilities I would not have considered plausible not too long ago.
Let me try the Scott thing.
1) “I still don’t know exactly what yr beef is.”
My beef is always about the truth, whether we are getting the truth or not. My state of mind presently is we are not getting much, regardless of who is telling us what.
2) “sounds like a lot of sanctimonious hypocrisy, no offense.”
Well, you got me exactly where I do not intend to be. In everything I say, I try to go out of my way to not be sanctimonious or hypocritical. This is what Scott humorously (I think) called Socratic dialogue intended not to offend anybody.
Keep in mind that I am speaking to people (the site) I have “known” for many years. Over those years I have seen some contentious disputes.
The sanctimony part I get, although I do not agree, and think it is mistaken. I state things in a way which can come across as sanctimonious, I can see that, although I think it is mistaken.
The hypocritical part I do not get, cannot see, and am bewildered that anyone would think that. But then, maybe I am regrettably blind to that.
3) “you seem to beating around the bush about being anti Israel.”
Cautious and trying to be fair and prudent, yes, but beating around the bush I don’t think so.
I have stated that Israel may have been involved in the assassination of JFK. The evidence of this is quite strong. But it is necessarily inconclusive in the sense that the evidence is circumstantial. Contrary to popular opinion circumstantial evidence can be powerful.
I have stated that Israel conducted a murderous slaughter of Americans on the USS Liberty. They deny it, but the denial is implausible. This is what I call Liberty the building 7 event of Israeli operations against America, in that it cannot be obscured or explained away. It reveals actual intent and philosophical justification, that the well being of America is categorically subservient to the well being of Israel.
I have stated that Israel may have been involved in perpetrating 9-11. Like JFK and Liberty, a direct attack on America and Americans.
I am not anti-Israel. Things are more complicated than that. But Israeli exploitation of America to a murderous degree seems likely.
4) “and, in all honesty, I really don’t want to battle it out here with you..”
Understood, appreciated, and reciprocated.
You are (it seems) an unqualified supporter of Israel. This is a position I am familiar with. And a position I understand, and consider reasonable.
My own position is more muddled and conflicted. To me, common sense and a desire for the truth makes me more concerned about the best interests of America.
Whole heartedly, America First.
More and more, I see Israel exploiting America…
Israel, like too many countries Expect massive support from the US (Taxpayers).
Guessing Trump will pare this nonsense back, when he is in the WH. Trump certainly sees the problem.
“…an unqualified supporter of Israel…”
not sure, exactly, what that means…
it must suggest that I have not actually stated that I support Israel…
which is not the case : I have said so…here…several times.
but let me say it again, in case you missed it before…
I support Israel’s right to exist, defend herself and to help protect American interests in that region.
I stand with Israel .
so…that should help clarify that I am a qualified supporter of same.
and I do not, never have and never will support or align myself with any form of antiSemitism….those who doggedly bash Israel, the Zionists and the history of Israel by ignorantly casting “Israel” and the Zionist Jews as the perpetrators of evil, “collateral damage”, child killers, terrorism, WW2 etc etc are the same ones who will try to shrug off their own rabid antiSemitism as being “justified” because the Jews aren’t really Jews or some such hogwash.
therein lies the hypocrisy.
Unqualified supporter of Israel means that you believe Israel is categorically justified regardless of what they do. If I were an Israeli, I might feel the same way.
But as an American, I think it is necessary to be more objective and discerning than that.
The accusation of anti-semitism IMO is dreary nonsense.
I have noticed that you never make factual, logical arguments. I assume that your mind is closed to the factual arguments made by others on the assumption those arguments necessarily arise from anti-semitism and not facts.
People defend Israel by name-calling and cancellation, not by discussion of facts. To my mind, that is an implicit admission that they are incapable of defending Israel based on the facts.
I’m trying my level best here to take you seriously, really I am…
but I can’t stop laughing at your arrogance.
it’s your pompous arrogance that blinds you to your own ignorance.
I also marvel at how the arrogant seem to have such a repititious display of verbosity.
maybe you think of that as a skill set ?
War is ugly, war is hell. And war brings collateral damage. Always has, always will.
If a government is sane, it considers the possible collateral damage before attacking another government. If it is not sane, well…
It would be just great if crazy religious zealots didn’t want to wipe an entire nation off the face of the Earth, but they do. This is a result of that.
If a foreign government is using barbaric acts to draw America into a war where Americans will do the dying, where our national interests are set back, where (as always) Americans pay for the “privilege” of waging war, then that government is actually our enemy, regardless of what they say.
Whoever was behind it, JFK had enormous collateral damage on America; so did the USS Liberty; so did 9-11.
Using American money to kill 100 collateral innocents in order to kill one terrorist, has enormous collateral damage to America.
There is incidental and unintended collateral damage, and then there is reckless/intentional/disproportionate collateral damge done for the purpose bamboozling other innocent people into doing your bidding.
It is just dawning on our side that maybe America was bamboozled into both world wars through the use of dishonest manipulation (Lusitania, Pearl Harbor), and relentless hysterical propaganda. If so, the collateral damage was hundreds of thousands of American lives. JMO we should be more aware about that happening again.
Every government on Earth should protect and defend its own citizens FIRST. That goes for America. It also goes for Israel.
It is just dawning on our side that maybe America was bamboozled into both world wars through the use of dishonest manipulation (Lusitania, Pearl Harbor), and relentless hysterical propaganda.
I think you will find, if you dig deep enough, that American leaders had strong economic reasons for entering both wars. The American people were probably blind but the same cannot be said for America’s political leaders. That is one of the stark differences between Trump and any other political leader you wish to name, Trump cares about the American citizen.
Well, that sure as heck makes DJT a menace to the Blob State.
After this Summer there can be little disagreement that Trump is a treat to the Blob democracy.

I think I’m in agreement. I am NOT in favor of the US fighting Israel’s war for them – but that is not needed. No neocon or neolib war solutions involving the US are required.
All we need to do is (1) get out of the way, and (2) provide diplomatic defense for Israel to do what is necessary. But we have stupid people who gave billions of dollars to Iran, and created this mess.
American Pal-pals need to be mocked, ridiculed, and booted out of the driver’s seat wherever we find them – not coddled with hand-wringing and sympathy for Pallywood propaganda.
Excellently articulated–TY!

I remember that someone brought something about Palantir here a while back (it stuck in my head because the word is from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings & they were the “lost seeing stones” & one could never know exactly just who was watching through them–symbolism will be their downfall, iirc)….
So are they raiding them to find evidence or to suppress it? Flashbacks of Mar-a-Lago come to mind.
Don’t trust anything their doing to be in our best interest.

Speaking of Pathways, maybe Bronco can do Pathways to the Presidency. One will show star studded path layed out by the media and starting out with her pushing Biden off a cliff as she cackles her way to the WH and the other will show Trump on an increasingly difficult path through continuous road blocks from J6 to near countless corrupt AG’s/DOJ/FIB nipping at his heals and culminating with snipers and rocket launchers.
Heck, someone should make it into a board game.

You are very kind. The more that the truth gets spread about the dangerous and deadly COVID-19 “vaccines”, the better.
Went and saw the Reagan movie yesterday. Nicely done I would recommend it.
This is an AI statement on collateral damage in Gaza. The statement accurately cites both sides as commiting collateral damage. I post the statement because it seems to state the issue neutrally:
Gaza Collateral Damage Reported
The concept of collateral damage refers to the unintended harm or loss of civilian life and property during military operations. In the context of Gaza, collateral damage has been a contentious issue, with both Israeli military actions and Palestinian militant activities resulting in significant civilian casualties.
Israeli Military Operations
Israeli military operations in Gaza have been criticized for causing excessive collateral damage, with estimates suggesting that up to 70% of Palestinian fatalities during conflicts have been civilians. The use of bunker busters and other heavy-duty ammunition has been particularly concerning, as it can cause widespread destruction and harm to civilians.
Palestinian Militant Activities
Palestinian militant groups, such as Hamas, have also been accused of using populated areas as cover for their military activities, leading to unintended harm to civilians. The use of tunnels and other infrastructure has resulted in civilian casualties and damage to property.
Impact on Civilians
The cumulative effect of collateral damage has had devastating consequences for civilians in Gaza. According to reports, an estimated 20,000 housing units were completely destroyed or made uninhabitable during the 2014 Gaza War, affecting one-third of the population. Many civilians have been left with debilitating injuries and disabilities, and the psychological trauma inflicted on the population has been severe.
International Concerns
The international community has repeatedly expressed concerns about the high number of civilian casualties and the disproportionate impact of military operations on Gaza’s civilian population. The United Nations and human rights organizations have called for greater efforts to minimize collateral damage and protect civilians.
Conclusion
Collateral damage in Gaza has been a persistent issue, with both Israeli military operations and Palestinian militant activities resulting in significant harm to civilians. It is essential to acknowledge the devastating impact of these events and work towards reducing the harm caused to innocent civilians.
The issue of collateral damage concerns me as an American because IMO America, American people, and American interests have been put into the category of acceptable (even desirable?) collateral damage by third parties.
IMO most Americans do not think of things this way whatsoever. The brainwashing and propaganda have been brilliantly successful. But as we see more deeply and clearly about what has been done to us for a long time, IMO we will have to discard well ingrained barriers.
…we will have to discard well ingrained barriers.
Ongoing process.

BREAKING:
Today, I accepted Rep. Ami Bera’s invitation to brief him and the House Intelligence Committee
on where and how I learned about the 5 assassination teams in the U.S. targeting President Trump.
Immediately after I broke the news that five hit teams, including Iranians, were targeting Trump, the Biden-Harris admin was forced to brief the Trump campaign about one of those threats. So it’s real.
Nevertheless, Democrat lies persist, and Rep. Bera, who sits on the Intel Committee, called my stating the facts “dangerous.”
I think it’s more “dangerous” that House Intel members don’t know or don’t care what intel is out there about assassins targeting Trump.
So when do us peasants get to know? So we can help look out for the bastards.
Like the FBI used to do in post offices.

Helene’s wind is now arriving in East TN. 20-40 mph with 50 mph gusts expected until later in the day – then poof – gone. The schools are closed as a precaution for flooding and winds.
So far the rain has not been as bad as it is to our east and NC neighbors. It has provided a much needed 4″ on average and flooding has been minimal in most areas.

I once saw her dad in drag when I was working at the gas station across the street from Barney’s Beanery on La Cienega. He was coming from the outside restroom area. My co-worker said, Hi Tony. He turned his head, smiled, and gave a big wink. It was pretty funny and we gossiped it for weeks afterward.
Here’s the threat to try to get Diddy out of jail:
“Grammy award-winning artist Sean John Combs, 54 (b. November 4, 1969), also known by his stage name Diddy, has been eagerly anticipating his upcoming sex trafficking trial in New York, during which Combs intends to take the stand and testify, the singer’s lawyer said Thursday.
Combs has tapped Marc Agnifilo, a former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney, to defend him in court against federal charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and is being held in jail without bail pending trial.
Agnifilo spoke to TMZ about his client’s purported plans at trial and said: “I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story. And I think he will tell every part of his story.“”

What will the evil ones do? Kill him, or free him?
There has been a lot of discussion here about “collateral damage” from Israel’s attacks against Hezbollah. I can’t remember who I said it to, but the other day I bet $20 that the Israelis tracked every one of those exploding pagers and knew where they were when they blew them up. Well, guess what?
“Each of the pagers that exploded on their Hezbollah owners across Lebanon on Tuesday, injuring thousands of the terror group’s operatives, was individually detonated, with the attackers knowing who was being targeted, where he was, and whether others were in close proximity, Channel 12 claims.
In a lengthy report quoting Israeli and foreign sources, the TV channel says those behind the attack were determined to ensure that only the person carrying the pager would be hurt by the blast.
“Each pager had its own arrangements. That’s how it was possible to control who was hit and who wasn’t,” it quotes an unnamed foreign security source saying.
The report says: “They knew who he was with and where he was, so that the vegetable seller in the supermarket would not be hurt” when a pager exploded on a man alongside him. This is a reference to footage from the pager explosions in which a man is apparently blown up by his pager next to a fruit and vegetable stand.””
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/report-hezbollah-pagers-were-detonated-individually-attackers-knew-who-and-where-the-target-was/?s=09
Slow Guy, prolly others posited Israel monitored pager popping. Same as the walkie talkies or whatever followed.
Only made sense.
If Israel has learned nothing else over the decades, and highlighted since Oct 7, the terrorists are rooted 100% within the general population.
Read and hear about war crimes. I don’t know about that.
A war crime under current ‘standards’ would be using dumb bombs to pulverize a geographical area where targets were without concern for others.
Verse of the Day for Friday, September 27, 2024
✟
“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
Psalms 91:4 (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.

CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
WHERE ARE YOU, LORD?
In the early morning light, I see YOU;
I begin the day just right; I pray, too;
I recall the blessings YOU have given;
I ask to be Holy Spirit driven!
I thank you for the sunshine YOU have sent;
For the flowers and trees; their nourishment;
I thank YOU profusely for loving me;
And pray I may serve YOU graciously!
Oh, but lately, Lord, I’m having trouble;
I’m anxious, lonely, and seeing double;
I do not know what has come over me;
It’s been really hard connecting with Thee!
Overwhelmed at times, I can find no rest;
From the constant barrage of evil’s quest;
From unwelcome guests who rob me of time;
From interrupted prayers to outright crime!
Where are you, Lord? I need you right now;
Come quickly into my heart somehow;
Fill me with your Spirit and make me whole;
Let me suffer no more with this empty soul!
Hear my cry in the day and into the night;
Protect me by day and by night, be my light;
Let not Thy presence be hidden from me;
In your mercy, Lord, hide my sin from Thee!
Whatever I have done or have not done;
Let it be known; let victory be won;
Gather me into Thy Loving embrace;
Wash the pain and tears away from my face!
Reveal to me what I have done so wrong;
Away from YOU, I have suffered so long;
The emptiness inside is so hard to bear;
I wonder, at times, if YOU are even there!
Where are you, Lord? Oh, please hear my call;
I’m confused, broken in my wherewithal;
Why are you silent in my time of need?
Is it because of my secular greed?
Have I not attended to my daily prayer?
Have I neglected for my neighbor to care?
Have I been selfish thinking only of me?
Oh yes, that is it – that is what it must be!
Hence the reason for the anxiety;
My trust in YOU, Lord, has just ceased to be;
My heart is on things of the world not YOU;
No wonder I’m hurting, lonely, and blue!
Thank you, DEAR LORD, for clearing the air;
For sending YOUR SPIRIT for me to care;
For renewing in me hope, love, and peace;
For making this longing finally cease!
Forgive me, Lord, for my selfish pride;
For from you I have been trying to hide;
For feeling unworthy to share with YOU;
My ineptitude and shortcomings, too!
Why did I even think YOU did not care?
Why did I ever refuse with YOU to share?
Why did I think YOU could never relate?
To the suffering I simply abate!
Did you not see in the Garden at prayer?
The loneliness a man is forced to bear;
When he is abandoned by all in the end;
When no one will stay; not even a friend?
Did you not ask for this cup to pass?
Was it your fear? What was it alas?
Was this just another human refrain?
Something YOU would do all over again?
No, you were not complaining it’s not fair;
And you were not wishing YOU did not care;
YOU were just preparing YOUR human side;
To let YOUR soul with YOUR Father reside!
So I’ll take my cue directly from YOU;
And stop thinking of me as YOU would do;
Deny myself and just follow YOUR lead;
And YOU will provide whatever I need!
D01: 4/05/2013
Thank You Duchess! 🙂

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Regarding today’s Health Friday post:
Yours Truly will call attention to a paper that is hyperlinked (via title) in the post. Here is the URL to the paper:
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-020-00771-8
The S1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 crosses the blood-brain barrier in mice
E.M.Rhea, et al.
published 16 December 2020
Yours Truly: This paper was published the week that the Pfzer-BioNTech modRNA COVID-19 “vaccine” was the initial EUA in the United States by the FDA in December 2020. Since it usually takes months to research/collect and analyze research data/write/submit to a publisher/get reviewed/published, Yours Truly theorizes that this paper was the result of at least 8 months of work prior to 16 December 2020.
IMO, this paper is a must-read. IMO, it gives several important clues about the actual mechanism of the lab-created SARS-CoV-2 virus itself; and some clues as to the actual ingredients of the modRNA COVID-19 ‘vaccines.”
This paper proves that the S1 protein of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus itself crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier.
It appears that this action is facilitated by the mechanism of the virus itself in attacking and compromising the blood vessels (especially the capillaries), along with compromising ACE2 receptors in the body.
Below is one of the graphics from the paper. This graphic clearly shows that two different samples of the S1 protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus itself cross the Blood-Brain Barrier in lab mice:
Tornado on the ground in Durham-Raleigh area. Heading with Solas to the hallway bathroom. God help us all.
stay safe!!
sending up prayers!!
Yours Truly and Solas are OK. We spent some time in the hallway bathroom, for sure. I distinctly heard the “freight train” sound that heralds the approach of a tornado. But, thank God, it broke up before it hit around here, I think it did impact Raleigh. More tornadoes have hit Goldsboro — Oxford/Henderson — up NC86 North and into Danville, VA.
A huge dam at Lake Lure, NC (near the SC border) is failing at this moment.
The local area here isn’t finished with today’s weather yet. The winds are rising again, with 50+mph wind gusts forecast. Tornado Watch until at least 6PM.
The golf course that abuts my back yard is flooding badly. The stream on this golf course (Seven Mile Creek) is an offshoot of the Eno River. The Eno River is running very high. I took a photo of the flooding and of the house across the golf course from mine — they had at least two big trees come down and into the stream.
God be with you, your furry friend, & your community 🙏

DECLARATIONS, DECREES, AND DEFINITIONS:
WAR: Worship And Resist then the Wicked Are Restricted.
Do not magnify the problem, magnify God-the problem solver.
Have your hearts and minds fixed on God, so the enemy cannot deceive, distract or destroy.
These are the days of Haman, so everything your enemies have been doing to destroy you will cause their destruction.
This destruction is not for you. Only spectators you will be.
Do not be afraid of your enemies because God is with you.
Vengeance is the Lord’s.
Vengeance: punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong.
God will save and He will restore. God will give you the victory and crush your enemies.
Use the Word of God to destroy your problems and your enemies.
Don’t be like the Israelites by murmuring and complaining. Use the power and authority that Jesus has given you to speak to your mountains and command the plans of the enemy to be destroyed.
The Pharaohs of today know God’s people are mightier and stronger than them.
It will look worse before it gets better. Always darkest before the dawning.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – LIVE WITH JULIE – [27 September 2024]
[Encouraging Word]
We can always depend on God no matter our situations and no matter our tests and trials.
Josh 1:9… Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong, vigorous, and very courageous. Be not afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
He does not tell you to do something He does not give you the ability to do…WE can do all things. God is with us wherever we go and nothing is bigger than God….God is going to turn every situation around. He promises that. He gives us HOPE in our final outcome [Jer 29:11]…He is fighting this battle for us and He always conquers and wins.
Philippians 4: 6…Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
He destroys our enemies as we are giving Him thanks and praise. WAR = Worship and Resist. Then the Wicked are Restricted.
Philippians 4:7…And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. You can have that peace that surpasses all understanding even in the midst of your storm of your life [mental storms, physical, literal]. You can have peace through it all because He is your Prince of Peace.
Philippians 4:8…For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

Lol Zelenski was hoping for a nice private meeting with Trump so he could later lie to the MSM about everything they said and discussed . Instead, Trump puts him in a room with 30 witnesses and a shit ton of recording devices. Checkmate
These people kill me. She said something like: If Trump gets back in and he doesn’t admit to the American people that he was lied to in his first administration, which prevented him from draining the swamp, he’s going to lose a notch.
What a shortsighted, know-it-all attitude, as if she, or any of us, knows everything that was going on and what all PDJT had to deal with. SMH
If you were wondering why they are trying to kill Trump, this is why.
Trump is about to negotiate an end to the conflict in Ukraine. This means the military industrial complex lose their cash cow, and the CIA lose their offshore proxy.
This is why they impeached Trump as soon as he started digging into where the money was going in Ukraine. Trump did not commit any crime. All he did was get too close to finding out what was going on.
And now if Trump does win the election and does negotiate an end to conflict and the end the flow of money, as he claims, then the public will see that Trump is the peacekeeper, and the Biden regime were the ones who instigated this war.
And one of the stipulations Putin will demand in order to come to an agreement, will include a full-scale UN security council investigation of US bioweapon development in Ukraine. Putin and his military have been demanding it at the UN for years now, and the US veto every attempt. Given RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been extremely vocal about this subject, it’s very likely if Trump wins, that his administration will not only agree with Putin in this regard, but assist him in exposing and resolving this threat to humanity.
This is what’s at stake. This is why the Dems seeing Trump talking to Zelensky is their worst nightmare. If Ukraine falls, the Deep State face extinction.
Why does Zelenskyy insist on wearing “I’m a thug track suit” attire when meeting with POTUS45?
okay, since we’re going there…who does Milei’s HAIR? LOL
pat frederick
Lol. Perhaps Mr. Milei’s dog does his hair.
Whoever was his campaign manager had decided that his wild look was a winner. Sure was right about that.
he looks like a nutter
He is a nutter. Only a nutter would fire up a chainsaw to get cheers out of rally goers.
But he won. 😂
But he’s OUR KIND of nutter, lol!

They can’t get to Trump because they have to get past the Angels that God has placed around him first.
Not only is Trump and the MAHAGA movement **demonstrating** that their power to marginalize, destroy, suppress, censor & destroy the TRUTH is BROKEN, FOREVER BROKEN…
that their precious CENSORSHIP STATE can’t stop what is coming, and their increasingly frustrated attempt to GASLIGHT the country with KAMALA FEVER isn’t working…
…the Satanic pedos who rape and eat kids at the top of their hierarchy are having it PROVEN to them that their supposedly ‘all powerful’ ‘god of this world’ isn’t that powerful after all.
It’s like an ‘Elijah vs the priests of Baal’ situation. 1Kings 18: 20-40.
God is demonstrating his power by shielding Trump and protecting him as this evil world system has vainly exerted frantic efforts over the past several years to REMOVE HIM as a threat to themselves.
You have to fully realize this. You have to grasp it:
Trump was **supposed to have been** taken out of the picture by now. Long ago. Heck, YEARS ago.
According to the script these evil pricks have been trying to get current events to follow, Trump was to have been reduced to a nonentity by the time of the 2024 election.
AND IT HASN’T HAPPENED.
Despite their most carefully planned and laid traps and strategies and machinations, he’s still here…AND HE’S STILL ADVANCING.
Every day these people wake up and just can’t quite believe this is really happening, that they haven’t stopped him yet, and ended the existential threat he presents to them.
When you control the digital space of the horizontal and the vertical, when you can end careers with the snap of a finger, when you can convince the public via endless waves of gaslighting propaganda that up is down and down is up, getting the country to TURN ON a selected target looks like an easy proposition.
But here we are NINE YEARS after Trump rode down that golden escalator and it’s beginning to induce PANIC AMONG THE PHILISTINES that they can’t seem to get this guy to GO AWAY, and their efforts to kill him are FAILING.
They’re running out of time. They’re running out of road.
And he’s not. He’s got all the time in the world and road stretches out before him to the horizon.
When you rely on a sleeping public to maintain your illusory control over everything…and the public starts waking up?
Your MACHINE starts breaking down. A machine that hummed along harmoniously for decades, keeping the public in a deep slumber that prevented it from seeing the true situation.
THE GREAT AWAKENING.
Nothing can stop it.
#GodWins
Ain’t life grand?
No one is ever safe. I dont know if Arizona is open carry, but if it was maybe the attacker would be in the morgue.
Arizona college student is in the hospital after being stabbed at random by a fellow classmate who seemingly snapped the night before the attack – and picked her because she was an ‘easy target’.
ASU student Mara Daffron, 19, was attacked as she walked into her Glendale classroom on September 19.
Fellow student Kaci Sloan jumped up from her seat and stabbed Daffron twice in front of horrified classmates.
The suspect attempted to stab Daffron a third time but was fought off by another student.
Daffron was able to flee from the classroom to a courtyard, where she was met by paramedics.
Sloan’s motive remains unclear. Police say she had written notes in which she planned the attack, and that she decided to go for Daffron because she was an ‘easier’ target than another person she was thinking of going for.

AZ is open carry. Dunno about caveats.
Asu is pretty lib now like most i think. She was picked for 1 reason and it wasnt “easy target” exclusively…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/horror-arizona-college-student-brutally-stabbed-fellow-classmate/
Guess which one is the victim and which one is the perp.
But did the school expel the attacker yet? Bet not. And who is paying her tuition?
The victim needs a free ride from the school until she can graduate, esp since she judt started the year and will prob have to withdraw the semester.
Guilty of White privilege Vs DinDuNuffin Piece of Shit.

A long list includes this:
Arizona State University policy:
https://cfo.asu.edu/police-frequently-asked-questions
IMO this policy is directly responsible for the girl’s injuries. The perp knew weapons were prohibited but chose to bring one herself.
No she couldn’t have done that.
That’s prohibited, after all.
Drone footage…Cedar Key, Fl…
Helene aftermath…
Has anyone heard from GA/FL and family?
Linda
Yes, she posted over at Marica’s blog. GA/FL, her daughter, and her daughter’s father are all OK. The Villages, the facility where daughter and father are living, had a direct hit from Helene, but no real damage. It appears that the people who run the facility had taken every possible precaution. The power did go out, but generators and battery supply were working. Thank God.
Good to hear. Thank you for bringing the news.
Thank you, Pavaca! I’m relieved to hear that.

Has anyone heard from our good Gail Combs today?
No but she has critters. Lots of them.
I’m looking at footage from NC on Twitter. OMG. It looks like there were a lot of landslides. Part of I-40 eastbound is gone. Whole towns under water. I’m hoping they didn’t get hit too hard.
It is really bad in places. Dams breaking, too.

EVENING PRAYERS
Prayer For Grace At The End Of The Day
Heavenly Father, as the day is drawing to its close I ask that Your continued love and presence be with me and with all that are Your children in Christ. Guard us through the long hours of darkness this night I pray, and keep us safe from all harm and dangers that may try to cross our threshold.
Give us, I pray, an untroubled night of rest and quietness of heart. May we be refreshed and renewed in body, soul and spirit as we rest our weary hearts in You through the hours of the night.
Lord, I pray that by Your great grace and mercy, You would grant us untroubled sleep so that we may rise up in the morning strong to do Your bidding. May we all rejoice for the dawn of a new day, knowing that Your mercies are new every morning. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful night’s sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
Amen.

[DS] Preparing Iranian [FF] Event To Bring The US To War,Shadow Government,Countermeasures – Ep. 3461
September 27, 2024 x22report
https://x22report.com/ds-preparing-iranian-ff-event-to-bring-the-us-to-warshadow-governmentcountermeasures-ep-3461/
People are now seeing what the [DS]/[CB] wants to do to America, just look at California and this paints the picture. The US Ports are on the verge of shutting down because of a strike, if they do people will see how dependent we are on other countries. Everything is pointing to a recession. The [DS] has no way out, they are being exposed at every turn. This is not an election of voters because the [DS] does not have the voters, this is an election of the ballots, how many can they print to win. The [DS] is setting the tone with the Iranian cyber and hit squads that are coming after Trump. They are trying to remove Trump and at the same time they are trying to bring us to war. Trump is now preparing the countermeasure, think Obama’s shadow government.
Ep 3461a – Will The Ports In The US Shutdown? Everything Is Now Pointing To A Recession, Buckle Up

James Woods:
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I haven’t verified this. Important for lo-fo voters to know, if true.
I am suprised that the possibility of an East Coast Longhoreman strike is not bigger news.
They have until September 30th to make a deal.
For every day they are on strike it delays unloading by a week. As we go into the Holiday season.
What comes in through the top ports on the East Coast.
Through NY/NJ ports we receive:
Auto parts and accessories
Electronics and hardware
Pharmaceuticals and medical devices
Textiles and apparel
Food-grains, fruits and vegetables
Furniture
Baltimore:
Cars | Coal (why are we importing coal?) | Petroleum (why are we importing oil) | Asphalt | Fertilizer | Tractors (why aren’t we building tractors?) | Vaccines | Salt | Sugar
Georgia ports:
Oil and mineral fuels (again, why are we importing oil?) | Autos and parts and accessories | Industrial machinery | Mineral Ores | Pharmaceuticals | Plastics | Iron and steel (why are we importing this?) | Cosmetics-(uh oh)
Jacksonville:
Aerospace and defense – (why?) | Automotive components and equipment | Paper goods and building materials
Miami:
Frozen seafood
Electronics
Furniture
Apparel
Machinery
Consumer goods
Much of the oil that comes in is for refining, which we do better and cheaper than anywhere else. Then it gets exported to wherever.
DJT did ‘drill baby drill’ which drove the oil price down. Then it wasn’t worth pumping oil abroad and bringing it here for refining; they could just buy it here refine it here and take the finished product. Thus saving half the shipping cost.
Bonus.
My understanding, American oil is typically better grade than much of the oil available to import.
It’s probably not being talked about a lot because there have been so many false alarms of various kinds in the past. “Stock up now” because (whatever). When the ship hit that bridge last year, some people thought it was going to disrupt supply chains, but I never heard of any problems. A year or so before that, there was some other scare.
These things usually seem to resolve. That said, I believe we should be in a constant state of preparedness, both for natural and human-caused disasters.
Agree.
Problems generally resolve themselves through longer logistics lines. Higher cost.
Longer logistics lines, may have increased the number of shortages. Can’t prove it. Likely, Covid the convenient whipping boy to blame.
100% agree with.
“…we should be in a constant state of preparedness, both for natural and human-caused disasters.”
Given everything at stake this election, I Expect T R O U B L E.
At least through 21 January, 2025, Be Prepared. I am.
I want to back this up 100-fold. I urge everybody here to be stocked on all essentials – enough to last for 90 days minimum – on Election Day. Maybe not in comfort, but enough to get by.
This is just awesome! Trump is calling them out!
Excellent. Let the WITCHES SEETHE IN ANGER.
Once again that’s why the DS is in a panic, he knows their every move it seems.
Interesting five weeks ahead of us.
Pray for our Republic.
Pray for PDJT.
Pray for one another.
Pray God’s will be done.
God’s will, will be done. Count on it! It may be rather unexpected, but it will be real.
😂
That’s how I imagined Trump’s meeting with Zelensky.
Zelensky looked like a whipped pup.
Rather sure Trump deftly, showed Zelensky truth. Simple questions to Z. Z answers and destroys himself. If Z lied, Trump would steer Z to admit truth.
Can I get an AMEN???!!!
100%
Amen.

FLOOD EMERGENCY IN NORTH CAROLINA
The Lake Lure Dam is failing and may be completely gone.
People in the area were told to run for their lives, literally.
The town of Chimney Rock, NC has been wiped off the map.
https://x.com/nicksortor/status/1839788741805912557
Last year, better part of a day at Chimney Rock. Beautiful. Wonderful folks.
IIRC, river runs along the highway, either side of the road. Couple miles downstream, a lake. Likely also having issues.
kalbo
Thank you. The tweet wouldn’t show up for me. God help them.
This is weird because………………
Rutherford County, NC Emergency Management
11m ·
LAKE LURE DAM UPDATE:
9/27/24, 8:00 PM: Engineers have evaluated the Lake Lure Dam and determined it is no longer at imminent risk of failure. The flow rate has been controlled, and there is no immediate danger. Local traffic only is permitted in the area. Text AlertRC to 888777 for updates.
I’m not saying it didn’t happen. The picture looks real but?
One headline:

North Carolina flooding: Lake Lure Dam overtops, remains in tact
“7 hours ago”
I surely don’t know ground truth.
Based on Rutherford County Emergency Management, damn is OK. Stabilized.
Chimney Rock town likely devastated. River runs along the highway.
Ate lunch at a restaurant, on the river not thirty feet away. Mountain on the other side of the river. Easy to see the river “topped” a bank, town side. Only one place for the water to go…
It would be easy to see that happening if it overflowed
mollypitcher3
I hope it’s true that the dam didn’t break. That whole area is under a Flood Emergency.
More weird stuff: It’s supposed to be quiet and clear weather around here. Nope — it suddenly started raining heavily again, with wind. ???
Stay safe . Like was mentioned the water did overtop so all kinds of catastrophe can happen in an instant.
We had barely anything happen here on the SC coast. Tornado warnings this morning. a little wind , a little rain but up north and where you are..sounds like a nightmare
…so glad you’re doing okay so far
From what I can glean from the tweets out there, the worst of the damage is in the mountains. A dam in Tennessee did fail. The photos are just devastating. It reminds me of the Great Flood of 1993 when we learned to listen to the emergency broadcasting system. There was water and damage everywhere. And then two years ago when we got 13 inches of rain in my part of town in two or three hours…I’m glad we are at the top of a hill. The people at the bottom lost cars, and anything that was in a basement or on the first floor. This is the level of flooding and damage I’m seeing.
Sorry kid, mailed by mistake, well not really but now that we caught you with it, it makes us look like were doing our job.
LOL..that happened only about 2 miles from where I lived…they called him a doomsday prepper…if TSHTF personally I wouldn’t mind being his neighbor but must not be the in-control type if his kid was such a dumbass

Israel’s Pager Attack Was Legal Under The Laws Of War
By Alan Dershowitz and Andrew Stein
The international “community” and its academic justifiers have claimed that Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah communications devices are unlawful. They are dead wrong. It was entirely lawful for Israel to cause Hezbollah’s pagers to explode.
The law of war is based on two fundamental principles: first, the distinction between the targeting of combatants and civilians; second, the requirement of proportionality in attacking targets that include both.
Under these principles, Israel’s actions were completely justified.
The law is clear that if a person becomes a combatant, he is a legitimate military target. Becoming a combatant in this case includes joining or assisting Hezbollah, harboring its terrorists or allowing one’s home or building to be used by Israel’s enemies.
The law is also clear that once someone becomes a combatant, he or she can be targeted as long as they retain that status, unless they surrender or openly declare themselves no longer affiliated with the combatant organization. This is especially so with regard to a terrorist group like Hezbollah that comprises both full-time soldiers and part-time terrorists, who may hold other jobs when not participating in military activities all the time.
https://libertyunyielding.com/2024/09/26/israels-pager-attack-was-legal-under-the-laws-of-war/
“This is especially so with regard to a terrorist group like Hezbollah that comprises both full-time soldiers and part-time terrorists, who may hold other jobs when not participating in military activities all the time.” Admission these were low level types engaged in administrative affairs… yawn.
Meanwhile with the news of Nassahralla’s death, true or not, everything is shaping up fine for Lebanon to break out into a new civil war. Shouldn’t be long now.
A very enjoyable read, with the right message. All we need to do is let Israel win, and not get in the way.
Alan ain’t wasting no time flexing his muscles, now that he’s freed himself.
I will post more in the coming days. With the dam overflow, the county adjacent to ours is experiencing devastating floods that were combined with the run off from the rain in the mountains. Downtown Newport was completely flooded with mandatory evacuations. One of our friends is with the state DOT and works the area, so we will learn more later. The local TVA lake that is downstream is at max capacity and 9 of the 10 overflow gates were opened today. Fortunately we have drying conditions that will help move the water out.
I-40 is half gone in a section of “the gorge” near the state lines of TN/NC. If they can be shored up the other two lanes on the other side are still passable. The water flowed over the interstate in 4 different areas there. There is still great danger of rock slides in that area.
Close friends who live next door said a sibling and her husband from Augusta, GA had a tree fall through their house and nearly landed on them as the rode the storm out in the hallway. Their neighbors house had trees fall into theirs that also destroyed their two cars.
More later.
WOW. Praying for all of you! 🙏
Stay safe!!! Give us a ping when you can.
I’ve driven through there many times.
Rockslides have created problems in the past, but to have a portion of it completely washed out…that will be a challenge to repair. And I-40 is such a busy supply chain artery. Wow.
Usually stop in Newport for a bite to eat.
Terrible to see what has happened to that beautiful little town!
Looking for Gail, but I could well understand that she’s busier than a one-armed paperhanger in a 25-foot coat closet…..
