There is one person at the center of everything that nobody talks about. Focus on the right target. The Biden’s are not the target. They are the tool to expose it all. They are the “doorway” to much bigger players. There is one person that has kept his head down and disappeared. There is one person that everyone has forgotten about. Why is a “corrupt DOJ” at the center of the narrative war right now? Confirmations? Pardons? Convictions?(Trump/Hunter) All focusing the American people on a completely corrupt justice system that needs to be dismantled and rebuilt to follow the constitution. But reforming the system will not happen unless the people within the Corrupt DOJ, who have committed crimes and treason, are prosecuted. That’s coming. But you need to realize who the real targets are. The Biden’s are not the real target. Merrick Garland is not the real target. The real target is someone in hiding, who protected the entire Obama insurgency that completely corrupted our government and shredded our constitution. This one person was responsible for hiding the crimes instead of prosecuting them. Who is it? Do you remember Eric Holder? Who is the bigger player? Eric Holder or Merrick Garland? Do you remember all the crimes and treason that happened during the Obama administration? Do you remember Benghazi? We won’t forget! Too many crimes to list. Eric Holder took the two tier justice system to a whole new level. Q said this about Eric Holder. Q drop 2459 Nov 07, 2018 5:53:26 PM EST https://x.com/ericholder/sta/EricHOLDER/status/1060263157262893056… Imagine if the new acting AG now releases all previously ‘blocked’ doc requests by the House (including the [RR] secondary CLAS scope doc). Stealth Bombers fly undetected. The ‘Red Line’ months old 4am narrative should be updated. Pain coming. Q Do you remember who Trump placed as “acting AG”? Matthew Whitaker. Do you really think Whitaker didn’t release all the documents that Holder and his embedded minions were blocking from Congress and “other” ongoing investigations? Do you remember this portion of a Q drop? Q drop 2501 Nov 25, 2018 WHITAKER (in conjunction w/ OIG) approved the release of CLAS docs 1-4 as requested by the House Committee and as ORDERED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Will the release occur prior to scheduled testimony? List advantages. Will the release occur post scheduled testimony? List advantages. If those testifying ‘know’ select CLAS docs will become public [self-incrimination] how might that alter/change their testimony? DC has become RAT infested. Trump declassified everything and all the evidence has been presented before grand juries for many years now. Eric Holder is mostly quiet for a reason. He’s panicked. Guess who else is panicked? Q drop 603 Jan 24, 2018 2:54:08 PM EST TODAY, former President Barack HUSSEIN Obama formally retained COUNSEL (9/WW). GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Q The Biden’s aren’t panicked anymore.

Rosenstein got them ALL to trust him by giving Comey exactly what he was demanding after he was fired by Trump: a Special Counsel to investigate the ‘SpyGate claims’. Which Comey knew all along were hoaxes created by the Clinton campaign and brought to him by her operatives. Trump and Sessions and Mueller helped Rosenstein set the plotters up. That’s why the cover story about Mueller being there to interview for the FBI Director’s job was invented and given to the news media. But Mueller wasn’t there to interview for the vacant FBI Director post. He was there to help Rosenstein set up the RICO conspirators, who’d been actively plotting against Trump while he was a candidate, and continued into treason once he was sworn in as the nation’s 45th President. Once Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Schiff, Warner and the other plotters all trusted Rosenstein, he compiled evidence against them and handed it to a secret Special Counsel using a federal grand jury so secret, it could actually SPY on members of the Gang of Eight without any of them knowing about it. Schiff/Swalwell didn’t find out about they were being spied on until the federal gag order wasn’t renewed for a fourth year, and Apple quickly alerted them that their electronic comms had been targeted by a federal grand jury investigation for 3+years. Schiff, Swalwell & the other 70 or so people in/around the US Congress who have been influence peddling and making under the table $$$ by giving 1. foreign entities 2. news media 3. corporations and defense industry contractors access to classified materials had one hope until Nov. 5: That they could successfully stop Donald Trump from returning to the White House, and appointing an AG and an FBI Director who would have the GUTS to use all that compiled evidence and charge and prosecute them for what they did. They failed to stop him. And now they’re in a panic. Well all of them that were on the Gang of Eight **except for** Devin Nunes. Ain’t life grand?

From listening to reports around the internet, there seem to be about 12 senators in the DC republican party who think they can stop Trump or at least bloody his mandate. The strategy appears to be to have 2 or 3 hard nos on his nominees with a rotating fourth or fifth to take the slings and arrows on that particular nominee. Personally, I don’t think it will work, but it appears those in DC are centering on this strategy….good luck…notice Trump hasn’t entered into the conversation yet. It appears he is allowing the senate to save face. Will they take the offer, or will he have to browbeat them into submission? Can he?

After listening to some news responses today from the corporate woke lying media and other former government crooks and conspirators regarding HB’s pardon, I’m in one of those moods where I want @realDonaldTrump to go scorched earth on minute one of day one. The left (and many in the RINO compound) screwed America (and many of us, including yours truly) so bad, they deserve nothing, nada, zilch. The country was nearly destroyed by these pr!ck$ and they continue to spew their bullsh!t through their mouthpiece talking heads. Just stop! All you corporate liars and all your talking heads deserve is our utter contempt. As for those serving inside of government right now, it is time to confess your sins or forever hold your breath, because #WeThePeople are so sick and tired of the severe corruption inside of our government and we are no longer going to tolerate sheepish behavior—GET A PAIR! And lastly, for those members of Congress (House and Senate) who fail to confirm Trump’s nominees, woe be tide you. Like history teaches, you have awoken a sleeping giant in the guise of the American people and we will not relent, we will not give up, we will prevail in this, a 21st century version of an American Revolution. And we’re just getting started. Fight, Fight, Fight!!!

I’m extremely thankful Biden and his handlers issued this pardon. All it’s done is bring more attention to all of their offshore criminality, and confirm that Joe and the Dems are trying to cover their tracks. It also discredited the Dems/MSM, and opened the door for Trump to pardon anyone he likes without backlash. It’s proven the Dems are corrupt and will lie and cheat whenever it suits them. It also proves the Dems sit on a false moral high ground. Besides, Hunter is not who we are ultimately after. He is just a bagman. He is the willing family member who is just a proxy for Joe, who is a proxy for Obama, who is a proxy for Soros, who is proxy for whoever is above him, and so on. Hunter is not the mastermind of this operation. He was just the front man behind many layers of separation for the Deep State, and was compensated with millions of dollars for hookers and blow. Hunter is just a puppet. This pardon is not going to make the situation go away. It did the opposite. It just made the situation bigger.

Isaiah 11:1-10
1There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of his roots. 2And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. 3And his delight shall be in the fear of the LORD. He shall not judge by what his eyes see, or decide by what his ears hear; 4but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked. 5Righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins. 6The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them. 7The cow and the bear shall feed; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8The sucking child shall play over the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. 9They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. 10In that day the root of Jesse shall stand as an ensign to the peoples; him shall the nations seek, and his dwellings shall be glorious.

Not that I’m counting, mind you.

Isn’t that what they wanted for JFK, also?
That wasn’t on live TV, if it was, the Zapruder film would have been one among many.
I seem to remember Big Media being there.
Oh well, I’m just an old geezer.
Back then it could have been radio and print. OR I could just be wrong.
Mr. Ziegler is way off on this one.
Careful reading of the pardon and later statements, coupled with the chronology of the criminal case, shows that there is no incompatibility.
I hope he is a far better man that his dad and uncle. His mom and his dad divorced and she went on to marry Coach Don Shula. She was very deep into GOP politics even back in Democrat controlled Arkansas and it caused marital problems among other issues. His dad was RINO/Establishment GOP who even backed Carter and Clinton. Stephens, Inc. was the lead dog in bankrolling the Clintons.
I am sure PDT knows and has vetted.
An ambassadorship is one easy way to get someone off the playing field.
Queen Nikki, for a recent example. IDK if this one is similar.
Based on what you say, I wonder if this is Trump setting a marker on far he’s going to dig in rooting out corruption. “If your this deep I’m not coming after you so relax fellas, were just going after the slimiest swamp creatures among you. Play straight like Mr Stephens here and you’ll be fine”.
He’s not half as filthy as Hussein the Usurper.
Or even Hitlary.
Yeah – those two need to have their remains incinerated and any remaining ashes jettisoned into space by Elon and gang.
A tar pit might be better. Frankly I’d not trust their ashes floating around in space as dust.
Aliens could find some uncharred DNA and clone them! Revenge of Hitlary! Revenge of Okhan!
Dang! That’s exciting.
This is the way and it has long been planned. Patriot states cooperate and back the sheriffs and local law enforcement efforts to root out the illegals. This forces the illegals who are wanting or otherwise ordered by their handlers to stay, to move to more friendly leftist states. Those states then get targeted by the full onslaught of ICE and made examples of by PDT and Tom. The cooperating patriot states use their law enforcement to simply round them up and hold until ICE can pick up and process. They will get fed funds to reimburse the cost of holding and transporting. It allows ICE to position their assets for maximum effectiveness.
I plan to use this one frequently going forward.
Personally thinks the “Oh the Humanity!” cry is going to be loud and vociferous. For this reason Trump is going to go after the criminal class first and see’s how it develops with his objective being all of them, but knowing that will be a hard sell once the tears start flowing in earnest. He’ll force the major and smaller players who opted on for taking in invaders to pony up on their responsibility to sponsor the better ones and not leave that on the back of tax payers. Rounding up the criminals, self deportation and those that no wants to sponsor will likely be the end of it. He’ll likely get rid of half, maybe two thirds of the 20 million invaders in this way.
The leftist states will cry “oh the humanity” until ALL the humanity is camping in their front yards and shitting on their sidewalks.
Never forget the Martha’s Vineyard treatment of the illegals shipped to their front doors.
Trump will deport 90% or more. That’s my bet.
Me too!
Go back to the pictures of those coming in. Most came in as swarthy, shifty, military-aged males. For every sad-eyed picture of a child or mother released by the enemedia, there will be 8 or 9 pictures of swarthy, shifty, military aged males, many with face tattoos. Many will be mug shots, and will look like they were always “good to go”.
I believe in conservation of Y chromosomes! Trust the science! 😉

Airdrop (or WKRP Turkey drop)… if they come back, drop them further away… just like Eisenhower did…
If they come back, then they weren’t dropped from high enough.
Distance isn’t the problem, it’s altitude.
….or far enough offshore.
(For those low-flying helicopters.)
DJT should make Martha’s Crackhouse Island a detention facility for illegal invaders, and house them with all the self-important Leftists who live there.
Make them live the dream they so fervently wanted for everyone else.
Let the invaders destroy all the homes, and all the property value with them, wipe out the whole nest of evil.
Turn Martha’s Crackhouse Island into a smoking ruin, a forever symbol of what Leftism means in actual application.
I’m all for this. F ’em.
“Personally thinks the “Oh the Humanity!” cry is going to be loud and vociferous.”
______________
Let them cry loudly and vociferously, in the crapoganda papers nobody reads, and on the failing TV Potemkin constructs nobody watches.
Nobody cares, except to get clips for youtoob, so everyone can laugh at them.

PAGING Gail for comment.
Good!
about 17 years too late for CF&I in Pueblo, which is now owned by a largely-Russian company.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Fuel_and_Iron
So pass a law that outlaws foreign ownership of critical industry. The foreign owners are then forced to sell.
Many countries prohibit foreign ownership of land and industry, for all the obvious reasons that seem lost on many Americans.
Yup, like Sarah and gang did in Arkansas. A federal judge ruled against the law, but it will eventually be overturned and set precedent nationwide.
Hear, hear! Sarah’s so awesome!
True but it probably wouldn’t be a problem if Americans could afford to hold onto their businesses. All that excess liquidity sloshing around the world sort of makes it inevitable that the ‘seed corn’ gets eaten.
IMO.
Excellent observation. 👍 That fix will take longer, but is likely to be part of the bigger plan.
I don’t think that will ever stop the globo-homos, they can always make an offer so big that the business owners can’t refuse.
It’s warfare. Whether corporate or national, with adversaries like the chineeze, where does the one end and the other begin?
Why go to war to defeat your enemies, if you can just buy up all their industry with worthless fiat and credit instruments, and own the production of the whole nation of your enemies?
Make foreign ownership illegal, and the problem is substantially reduced.
When the enemy has their people become citizens of the U.S. to get around the law, make it illegal for foreign assets who become U.S. citizens to be straw purchasers / owners of U.S. property on behalf of foreign entities.
It’s not hard to figure out what the bad guys will always do.
All it ever takes is the will to stop them, which is the one thing we don’t have, because we won’t destroy the will-killer, which is political-correctness, the weapon used by the Left to destroy nations everywhere.
Stop the invaders.
The invaders are 90% men, by the way. There’s a reason for that, a reason which feminists can’t see and/or refuse to acknowledge.
If they want the invasion of foreign men to stop, don’t put women in charge of stopping the invaders.
Or in charge of stopping crime, or any other dangerous thing that requires physical force.
If they’re serious, then put men in charge of those things.
And if they’re not serious, then they will get the exact and 100% predictable results of doing the wrong thing, in service to DEI and feminism and every other thing besides reality.
All hail the Great and Mighty Y chromosome!!!
😆 🕵 💪
isn’t there already a law on the books that prohibits a foreign entity from purchasing “critical” US industries or materials deemed a national security asset? I thought that was the law that Hillary circumvented to sell 20% of our uranium to Russia. Perhaps that law should actually be prosecuted.
No idea, we have tens (hundreds?) of millions of laws, so that no one, not even the greatest team of lawyers who ever lived, can ever know how many crimes they commit in any given day.
That way, everyone is guilty of multiple crimes a day, everywhere, all the time, so the tyrannical state can selectively prosecute whomever they deem an adversary.
Either you burn it all down, or DJT 2.0 is just a speed bump on the way to annihilation.
But it doesn’t matter what I think, I’m generation X, so I don’t know anything.
Yup, an essential industry for national defense. Great move.
Thanks DP for plugging away even when not feeling great. My hubby & I caught some seasonal bug during our Thanksgiving gathering so are both running about half speed. May God quickly heal & restore us all. God Bless YOU dear sister in Christ 😇
Finished SoZ yet?
No they wouldn’t renew it yesterday so I’ll have to order it up again. It’s silly since it’s within our regional library system but not at my local library. So I put it on hold & the owning library ships it to my local library who then checks it out to me. They could save time, hassle, & money to allow an additional renewal (some other libraries do so) when the book isn’t listing any hold requests. Unfortunately my hold request list for my library card is at capacity so I have to wait for another one to come in, or at least list as “in transit” before I can re-request SoZ…sigh…Hopefully this happens later this week 🙂
(From the opener).
That’s perfect. Proof that the rising sun is shining onto the clouds from the underside.
Impossible in the flat Earth model, where the Sun never drops below 3000 km or so above the “plane” of the Earth. (Thus, in Flat Earth terms, it never actually sets, it just recedes into the distance and eventually we can’t see it any more especially since (they claim) it’s directional; sunrise being the reverse process as the Sun approaches us.)
Which means that the Flat Earth is absurd. Most of you didn’t need me to tell you that.
That’s quite striking. Almost worth getting up at 5 AM to see.
Almost.
Well, your enthusiasm may be dampened by the fact that you must live near Fist Of God (I literally thought of that when I first saw Rainier), and the clouds have to be exactly at the right height.
It’s in my county.
Believe it or not, the mountain is almost 100 miles distant 😮 from the camera [in the city of Orting]. Damn thing is huge!
Not a place I would want to be when the darn thing erupts. And it’s been making noise lately. Not as much or anywhere close to Mount St. Helens, but it has been more active.
Just for fun, I follow this site: https://pnsn.org/
5am is when Hubby’s M-F shift Starts–yikes!
Silly me, I thought the pic Might be fake but then I haven’t seen mountains in years so don’t have a ready frame of reference 😉
Rainier is extremely “prominent” meaning it’s out by its lonesome, in fairly low terrain. (Pikes Peak is prominent too, since it’s far away from the other fourteeners, but not nearly as prominent.)
The Colorado Fourteeners (we have about 50 mountains over 14K feet in elevation) tend to sit on bases 6-8 thousand feet above sea level so you don’t see the sheer mass of the mountain like you do with Rainier. McKinley/Denali, on the other hand, hits 20,000+ feet from a base of about 3000 feet. Undoubtedly impressive…when it’s not clouded in.
So those (possible) volcanic cones show off this phenomenon best? 😉
Rainier is unambiguously a volcanic cone. There’s no “possible” about it.
Something like this could conceivably happen with Pikes Peak, too…which is not a volcanic mountain. It pains me to say it, though, but Rainier just looks freaking gigantic because of how high it is above its base, and it’s a lot steeper overall, (Pikes Peak has broad shoulders.)
I was trying to think of the brand of beer that had a mountain on its cans, and came across this anecdote —
In 2004, a black bear received substantial media attention for having consumed 36 cans of Rainier beer in Baker Lake, Washington. After gaining access to a cooler of beer that belonged to campers, the bear avoided cans of Busch beer and used its claws and teeth to open and then consume the cans of Rainier. A wildlife agent said at the time that “this is a new one on me … I’ve known them to get into cans, but nothing like this. And it definitely had a preference.”
Hope it avoided Bud Lite unless it was feeling tranny-ish LOL
If anyone reports bears roaring in falsetto, you’ll know it didn’t.
bwah ha ha Maybe if it gets kicked in the nuts 😉
It would drink Bud Lite if it wanted to use the girls’ restroom…….but, y’know, there’s that “in the woods” thing.
no doubt, LOL!
This is a guy holding a can of Rainier Beer on Mount St. Helens, with Mount Rainier in the background.
It demonstrates how each mountain arises out of the flats, and also how far the mountains can be from one another.
Not all Cascade volcanoes are created equal. I find the following image to be quite helpful…..
I can think of two: Hamm’s and Busch. Busch’s tag line was “Head for the Mountains.”
Can you tell I grew up in Anheuser-Busch territory. I swear there’s a pipeline under the street to the stadium.
If that’s the one in the pic then that’s obvious. I was loosely (I fantasized coyly) alluding to our discussion yesterday 😉
Speaking of prominent mountains, this is Mount Shasta from the South —
Shasta is the 11th most prominent peak in the US — Rainier is #3 — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_prominent_summits_of_the_United_States .
(There are some fun ones on there — Haleakala is #10.)
Rainier is #1 … in the continental USA.
Thus, the only one that matters. 😉 😆
Hey, I’ve been on top of Number 2! Mauna Kea!
Where all the fake CO² numbers come from 🙂
It hasta be Shasta… from Hayward, CA. (also home of Annabelle candy, e.g. Rocky Road, U-NO, and Zero, among others)…

TY 🙂 Guess you’ve got a great view & hopefully a great exit strategy if that thing decides to blow its top!
We’re on the Key Peninsula, across the Tacoma Narrows.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Peninsula
No way the lava flow would get high enough to cover Tacoma, let alone high enough to cross the Narrows.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Narrows
What about flooding when the snow pack melts? That’s what got a lot of the victims and caused a lot of damage at Mount St. Helens as I understand it.
Still perfectly safe over here. Flooding would follow the flood plain of the Puyallup River into the Puget Sound.
Only drawback around here is one highway in and out. So traffic gets interesting sometimes.
“one highway in and out” isn’t that what happened to that town in HI, forget the name, where the cabal wanted the prime real estate that generational natives wouldn’t sell so turn off the water & burn them out!
Lahaina.
Yes, Thank you 🙂
Yes but we don’t have those kind of problems here. [knock on wood]
In lefty lunacy land??? Hmmm…Hope so 🙂
Lahar (volcanic ash) may be a problem.
Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines blew in 1991. They are still dealing with the lahar.
That would at least be a legitimate reason to wear masks.
Sarcasm noted and aside.
Understatement of the day.
Sometimes I think that Flat Earth 2K Edition is really a psy-op designed to increase scientific literacy of Americans, using a strawman enemy of science.
Or perhaps its meant to dumb us down. Or exploit scientific illiteracy. Or weak critical thinking skills. Remember these people function by pretending to be scientific about things…look here are all these “proofs”…that will sucker people who don’t know any better, but they think they saw scientific evidence.
Yeah, I’m probably seeing too many people at the brighter end of the bulb!
Q-Tree distorts that IQ bell curve just a “little bit” 😉 😉
The Velikovsky effect. Plenty of bright but ignorant (of history and science) people were (and still are) suckered by him.
Scientists who read his stuff see the BS science but not the BS history. The history sounds so impressive to them that they think, maybe this guy is onto something in spite of the fact that he clearly knows nothing about the science. Vice versa for ancient historians.
Velikovsky had some strange appeal to a certain type of student when I was in school – but he was a mortal enemy of all our science teachers, who only differed in the amount of open distaste. I do think some of those teachers found the topic to be a great way to engage students in science and the scientific method.
Ironicallly, many of the more serious students ended up buying the books out of a kind of “enjoy the controversy and put-down” way of thinking. At a certain point, Velikovsky becomes comical, and explaining it hyperbolically becomes a party act.
Those are books that should not casually be put aside…
They should be thrown, and with great force 🙂
(to paraphrase Dorothy Parker)…
She didn’t say that? Surprise surprise.

Whorls in collusion…
His Wikipedia page leaves him as neither full nor empty. In the world of hard science that leaves him toast and his theories can only rise as far as he can stack them with facts which leave him with a few mounds that can be reshuffled to make higher mounds but nothing approximating a mountain. Example planets bouncing off each other is absurd, but the effects of other asteroid or comet bodies passing close to the earth if he had gone that way, which apparently he did not, not so absurd.
Historically things are much more subjective where even the seemingly most straight forward facts can be subject to agenda occurring now and in the past to include his own.
It appears that the sincerity of his message keeps him aloft. He can be treated better to ignorance than plain charlatanism. People will of course scour through the wreckage to find usable bits of working things for their own scaffolds for which there seems some.
Way too much attention is being paid to this stupidity. IMO.
Think of the unnecessary wear-and-tear on the neurons.
Yet it keeps resurfacing.
The cats keep knocking it off the edge, yet it’s attached to springs and comes back.
[snort]
Here there be dragons!
I’m somewhat there. Wise guys on the internet taking great delight in promoting something they themselves don’t believe in to see if normal folk can think through it.
I thought it was a fake photo. Would love to see it on one of those videos were they film it at one speed then play it at a higher speed, like when they show plants growing.
Yes, time lapse would be amazing on that!
I took it as fake. If real, a fluke.
Uh… I think that’s smoke, coming out of the volcano…
😁
But…but…but…but…
Where’s the Kamala filter(s)…
At 93 MILLION MILES away…. How the Fuck did the sun get UNDER the clouds?
embrace the sphere 😉
I was indoctrinated into that cult from birth…..
Then I woke up.
LOL
That’s what my wife does every time she gives me a hug.
😂
More to love!
hubby has also sphered a little since we got married. but his handsomeness and his body aren’t the only things i find sexy about him. it’s the way he looks AT me. that hasn’t changed a bit.
There you go! Having 4 kids didn’t do my figure any favors but that mind(less ness of late LOL) never really goes out of style 😉 😉
I remember someone who said, “the only shape I’m in is ’round.'”
LOL!!!
Or, “I’m in good shape. Round is a shape.”
This is EXACTLY the answer. Spherical curvature provides a perfect and complete answer to what we observe.
Geometry at a distance isn’t always intuitive because of perspective effects, but SOME basic geometry holds – and this is one of those cases.
Also, some basic forms of mathematical proof have to be understood, as in this case.
Hear, hear! You listening RB? 🙂
He doesn’t because WE are indoctrinated and HE sees the real truth.
Then he projects that WE are the arrogant ones.
I will admit that I was indoctrinated by my parents and teachers into believing the earth was spherical as a child – without truly understanding it – and believe me – I did ask challenging questions, because I could not easily see curvature. I used to love to ask my parents questions like “where would I come out if I dug straight down?”
The thing is, it made sense. Spherical Earth made sense. It was always many hours later in Europe if we called people there. It was the same time (roughly) on the same day in South America.
I think it’s a wonderful exercise to try to “re-prove” to myself that the Earth is a sphere. Every solid proof – like this one – is a beauty to behold!
If you did dig straight down through the earth…
would you come out the other side upside down?
First things first.
If you dig straight down into / through the Earth…
…could you come out the other side?
Iron man only. Maybe!
Great question! By my reasoning, “down” would flip at the center, passing through a brief point of near-weightlessness. And again, by the beautiful spherical symmetry, it would not matter which direction became “up” after you passed that point. As you came “up” (using the energy of the fall), gravity would increase, as more and more mass “below” outweighed the mass “above”!
Let’s grant that he wants a stright line through the center, coming up at the antipodes.
From anywhere in CONUS, you end up in the Indian Ocean, almost certainly not on dry land. If you’re really, really lucky (two places in CO, one in MT) you come up on an island in the Indian Ocean.
Darn, as kids we always said Chyna 😉
AND OBTW on a Flat Earth even 3 thousand miles away (which is THEIR claim) is a problem here.
93 Million – it’s peanuts! At a certain point, it seems scary small to me, considering the burning power of a star!
Big sun, big age of the universe (or at least the solar system), big Earth, big distances – it all adds up, and it’s GRAND. Biological evolution to tie it all together locally – a universe that actually WORKS without grubby hacks – far too many believers are just missing out on the best stuff, IMO.
When the “wave-a-wand creationist” road show came to our university, there was a huge turn-out both pro and con, with Morris and Gish versus two professors – an atheist and a “theistic evolutionist”. The latter was the guy who won my vote! He was the radioactive dating expert, and he was just so clear and calm. Great teacher. The creationists really didn’t like him, and they trained their biggest guns on him, because he just made sense and offered the same compatibility of science and religion to even the most devout students. The creationists had to undo something that was simple and made sense, to carve out a place for their bad justification of unsound literalism. “They wanted us divided.”
Interesting times!!!
Well, this is a problem isn’t it? Even at 3000 miles away, it couldn’t get under the clouds
UNLESS of course the Earth is round, in which case the sun can be far off to the SIDE and below (as seen with respect to the local [tangent] horizontal plane) the level of those clouds.
In other words, this is a problem for you no matter how far away the Sun is.
Superficial WTF.
IF the sun never drops below 3,000 km. = Then the sun never sets. = 24/7 day time.
Obviously I am missing something.
Sunset. Sunrise.
ALL rhetorical.
I know it’s rhetorical. But yes, modern Flat Eartherism maintains that the sun doesn’t truly set. It just recedes into the distance, and if you happen to have mountains or trees or something blocking your view to the west, it will eventually go “behind” them. It’s plausible (to a five year old living inland or in a bunch of trees), because you never actually see the Sun cross your local horizon plane. Of course if you live on the west coast and can see the ocean… (Reverse everything for sunrise, of course.) This is why RB was here a few days ago insisting that cameras (in particular a specific point-and-shoot with a shitload of zoom capability, but with optics that don’t really justify it) showed the sun never dropped below the horizon. (He’s dead wrong about this. There are YT videos showing that the Sun remains the same apparent diameter as it sets (not receding) and gets cut off as it goes below the horizon.)
The irony is the flat earth model followed by the ancients–where the sun travels BELOW the earth at night so it can rise the next morning) works much better for this, but cannot handle the situation where it’s daytime in Tokyo yet nighttime in New York City. The modern Flat Earth model is an attempt to deal with that fact, but just turns out to be laughable at explaining things like sunrise and sunset.
Oh, and the (alleged) reason the Sun can stay above the (alleged) plane and still have some parts be in darkness is that it’s alleged to be a directional light source, like a spotlight, rather than like a bare light bulb shining in all directions.
I was talking w/ my firefighter/EMT son late on Thanksgiving & he told me about someone he loosely knows who is now dying of breast cancer that had previously been in remission & she’s pretty young, like in her 20s or 30s. I asked if she might have taken the clot shot since cancers coming out of remission seems pretty well associated with it. He said that she & her husband both participated in the covid “vaccine trials” & are All Onboard w/ covid shots. They are pretty lefty too, no big surprise. I asked if I could send him some of those cancer fighting protocols that have been shared around here by Linda & others & he was OK with that. He doesn’t think that either the husband or wife will be receptive to this alternative info even though she may only have a few more months to live, per prognosticating docs. It sounds like “they’ve resigned themselves” to wifey’s early death, which is just incredibly sad. How often is this being played out around the world?
Help is on the way. Linda’s post goes up in 22.5 hours.
Not that anyone is counting.
LOL!!!
Thanks. I’ll send that link to Brandon w/ a reminder to also at least scan the comments for helpful info too. Very much appreciate you guys gathering this important info! I’ll send the link to my dad’s hunting buddy who’s been dying with cancer tor the last couple of years. I’ve sent them the protocols a few times, as the info shows up here in the Q-Tree, but I don’t know if they’ve acted on any of it. His wife was an RN for many years so may be too steeped in traditional medicine, or too elderly & bogged down with her own health issues, including Guianne Barre, to dig in.
Valerie has a point. People steeped in the status quo for medicine and the expert culture are really hard to talk to when it comes to this stuff. Some REALLY old family friends have a daughter who lost a limb to osteosarcoma (and supposedly her fertility, but God had the final say on that one). Can you imagine 10 years later, crutches, wheelchair, and a mechanical leg, learning that the cure was some old drugs that weren’t profitable? I mean, this girl went through hell.
At least the woman and her husband have their little boy. He’s almost three, a carbon copy of his dad, and a genuine miracle.
That’s a blessing at the end of a long, painful, & in many ways unnecessary road. It’s an incomprehensible evil that life saving & quality-of-life preserving &/or restoring interventions are being denied to the general public. Hope RFK jr’s approach to dealing with these things vastly improves access going forward.

Thank you! Looking forward to it!

“How often is this being played out around the world?”
Million of times since January 2021, when people “trusted their doctors”, people “followed the science”, people were threatened with losing their jobs, etc., — and they started taking the COVID-19 “vaccines.”
I believe this scenario will happen millions of times more, unless “vaccinated” people wake up and starting using alternative treatments for the “vaccine”-induced / “vaccine”-related conditions they have developed post-injection. Even if a COVID-19 “vaccinated” person took only, say, 2 or 3 injections and then stopped — the damage that these injections to do the body CONTINUE for an indefinite amount of time.
This is ON TOP OF the insidious damage that the N1-Methylpseudouridine in the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” do to the “gut – brain axis” (the vagus nerve) — because this “vaccine” ingredient replaces (eliminates) the natural Uridine RNA in the “vaccinated” person’s body. Uridine is an incredibly important component.
This is ON TOP OF the fact that the modRNA COVID-19 “vaccines” (by Pfizer-BioNTech and by Moderna, in particular) changes the DNA of the “vaccinated” person’s body (human liver LINE1 DNA.)
It’s truly beyond comprehension the monstrous evil that’s been inflicted on humanity 😡

Thank you. Just re-sent the Midwestern Doctor article link to your email address.
TY I got that email–much appreciated!!!
Check spam folder.
I did that too. PAVACA sent it again (or else it surfaced) sometime this afternoon though 🙂
I’ve noted a weird “resignation” to all kinds of things in the vaxxed people.
I think, as I have stated previously, that one of the intended and planned side effects of the vaxx was to “cut people off” from the Divine.
Of course, that could only happen to people without a solid connection to Him in the first place, but that is true of so, so many of our fellow humans in this world.
I think the resignation stems from this disconnect.
Deeply disturbing & tragic trajectory. Indifferently slouching toward the abyss 😪
Scary.
to say the least 🙁
A great point. Negative faith in modern medicine is still a form of faith in modern medicine.
I’ve noted a weird “resignation” to all kinds of things in the vaxxed people.
^^^ As have I.
This motherpatchcord does not exist 😀
Oh but it does.
It can be used to back power an electrical house circuit from a generator when the power is out. (Be sure to shut off the main breaker 1st)
MAJOR code violation… linemen have been killed by improvisations such as that…
Apparently, it’s not if you label the breaker feeding that circuit properly.
And make sure to disconnect that main breaker. You DON’T want your generator “fighting” grid power even if you know no lineman’s life and safety is a factor. Oh, yeah. before I forget: disconnect that main breaker.
Of course if you do that you’ll never know when the power comes back. I thought of wiring a bell or some sort of status light just upstream from the man breaker, that would ring or light up when the power comes up. That probably WOULD be a code.violation.
So the process would be: switch the bell on (nothing should happen because the power is off). Disconnect the main breaker. Turn on the generator. Turn on the breaker to the generator.
When the bell goes off, shut it off to save your sanity, then reverse the other steps. If your sanity is already gone, you can just reverse all of the steps.
Code requires a switch to isolate standby/alternate power from power supplier’s lines.
The point is (other than the code violation) that such jerry-rigging devices are dangerous. It’s been in the code since at least 1986…
And if the frequency twixt the two differs, all sorts of “fun” things happen. It’s becoming a problem over here with the occasional homebrew solar arrays being wired by amateurs…
As far as I know, a clearly labeled switch on the breaker board satisfies the requirement in your first paragraph.
As for grid-tied solar (in the US the utilities MUST buy your surplus, by law), it needs an inverter that’s smart enough to sync itself to the grid’s power.
NV. 2023.
Received sales pitch from two reps, different solar companies.
If I installed solar on the roof.
No idea how solar works in other states.
A GoPro camera aimed at the electric meter.
Watch neighbor’s house for evidence of power.
🙃
Yep…. but it works. That is why I said “Shut off the main breaker first”
Was just about to say that.
In that case, though, you’ll want a 240V cord (which will have different shaped plug on it).
This cord will work for a single circuit.
240V cord if you want to back feed the entire house.
And yes, the 240V cord will usually have a different plugs that could go into something like a cloths dryer socket.
BE SURE TO SHUT OFF THE MAIN BREAKER FIRST!
If I needed a generator, I’d need it to work the well pump, which is 240V. IIRC so is my furnace.
Others might only need 120, but then half of their circuits won’t have power even with the generator running.
Oh, and you forgot to mention to turn off the main breaker.
Certainly does exist.
Jill Biden’s Christmas decorations look like what would happen if a group of circus clowns projectile vomited all over the White House, which I guess is the perfect metaphor to sum up the last four years.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Tuesday, December 3, 2024
✟
“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:10 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
A BROKEN HEART
Refreshing rain falls at dawn;
Pulsating pain throbs thereon;
Devouring dark woebegone;
Reliving rift cast upon!
Emptiness is at best;
Openness to be blessed;
Loneliness to fill the void;
Peacefulness to be enjoyed!
Knowing not just how to proceed;
Gasping; grappling to fill the need;
Betraying all so carefully taught;
Warbling woe – dolefully distraught!
Broken bastion defiled with sorrow;
Token turmoil signals the morrow;
Desperately dangling by a thread;
Covetously clinging to the dread!
Beckoning God a cry aloud;
Hearkening the Spirit avowed;
Awakening awe to exhume;
Allowing angels sweet perfume!
Attending attention to prayer;
Prostrating prevention to despair;
Lifting listlessness up on high;
Loving lowliness with a sigh!
Repenting; relinquishing all to Him;
Releasing; replenishing to the brim;
Lovingly laying the burden aside;
Securely saving a place to reside!
Reasonably realizing the vanity;
Bordering; basking on insanity;
Refusing reproving dangerously;
Anguishing; angering anxiously!
Lovingly, knowingly His Spirit He sent;
Imposing, imploring the need to repent;
Rebuking, relinquishing the control;
Disarming, disavowing His console!
Freely forgiving the fool heartedness;
Allowing His Love to replace distress;
Remembering love can conquer all;
Without love we are destined to fall!
Love of neighbor begins within you;
Loving yourself is critical, too;
Emotionally even and adept;
Protectively proper the heart is kept!
A heart that is broken can be repaired;
By His suffering and death; Jesus cared;
For all who are hurting and feeling reviled;
For all Jesus had compassion complied!
Suffering senselessly, He gave His all;
So you must do so that you do not fall;
The deception of evil is so perverse;
Resist all temptation; reverse the curse!
Feelings are not facts, but do cloud your mind;
No rational thought will you ever find;
With your feelings rampant out of control;
There’s no turning back; no way to console!
Give all your love and honor to Jesus;
He died on the tree to save and ease us;
When you are weak; it is He who is strong;
In His loving care is where you belong!

Thank You Duchess! 🙂

TY for this Duchess. This poem reminds me of when I first went through a broken engagement, I was devastated & in a very deep, dark place. For about a week I made a meal of One apple, taking a bite or two at a time & wrapping it in cellophane to keep in the fridge between “meals”. I was in my 2nd year of grad school at the time so I made myself attend classes. The only other thing I did was memorize the scripture required for Friday quizzes in one class. I remember clinging to God’s Word then, with ZERO awareness that Any of it was Real per “feelings”, being in a “Heavens are as brass” kind of situation. Verses like “My comfort in my suffering is this, your promise preserves my life” AND “Come to me all who are weary & burdened & I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you & learn of me for I am meek & lowly in heart & you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy & my burden is light.” helped me to endure a time of deep, personal anguish. God is my refuge & my strength, a very present help in time of trouble & He longs to be so for All of Us!
Love this one! Thank you! 💖 🙏

Trump and Trudeau…
The Lamestream Media in 3, 2, 1:
“Trump is such a BULLY”
LOL! Let them SCREAM! Let them MOAN! Let Trump hose them down naked with TRUTH!!! 😂
It’s time! Get a life, MEDIA! Reclaim your place of honor! Serve THE PEOPLE – not your corporate masters!!!
Let Trump hose them down naked with [ice water] TRUTH!!!
Pay-per-view. Proceeds to go toward paying down the nat’l debt.
Minus Quebec or the deal’s off.
LMAO! France can take them – and bring us all closer. Art of the deal! Macaroon can give his “mom” a present for next Christmas! Her own fiefdom! 😂
The problem with Canada is that most of it is not all that conservative, truthfully. I’ve travelled with Canadians and have known any number, and in the cities they are just as clueless as a lot of Americans. Their lifestyle habits would need to be accommodated. Yes, that means beer that’s more potent than the lagers that pass for “beer” in the States.
Alberta is cited as most conservative, followed (sometimes) by Saskatchewan.
However, that’s likely in comparison to the rest of Canada so your point remains a good one.
I was thinking Ontario, and BC. Vancouver, specifically, in the latter.
Yeah Vancouver BC is just another Seattle/Portland. And Ontario (at least the peninsula; maybe northern Ontario is different) is our eastern seaboard.
…Or another CCP province – just sayin’ …;-)
But we repeat ourselves.
Canada as one state would equal California in population (and electors) but that stat includes Quebec, so it’d probably end up somewhere between CA and TX.
Actually, make it territories. 13 of them…well, minus Quebec, 12 of them. 1) Newfoundland and Labrador, 2) Nova Scotia 3) Prince Edward Island 4) New Brunswick 5) Ontario 6) Manitoba 7) Saskatchewan 8) Alberta 9) British Columbia 10) Yukon 11) North West Territories 12) Nunavut.
Let them each earn statehood.
You are making far too much sense.
Thus, not a snowball’s survival chance in hell of being implemented.
I doubt that most Canadians would want to be Americans, they love the Crown’s boot on their neck & all, eh?

That’s fabulous.
But I would want mine on the front so I could see if I needed to draw down on a lib about to attack me!
LOL!
The updated version of rick rolling.
That is hilarious.
A number of years ago a prominent area doctor was tried for killing a skateboarder while the doctor was driving drunk. As often happens in these cases, the doctor continued driving and arrived home.
The point of this post is not the merits of the case, but a discussion I had with a colleague about an aspect of the case.
The doctor arrived home and was met by his wife.
The police arrived soon after, and the wife refused to tell them anything. It was obvious from the circumstances that she had vital information.
Here is where my colleague and I vehemntly disagreed: my colleague thought the wife was under a moral obligation to tell the police what she knew. I thought the wife was under a moral obligation to say nothing to the police.
My colleague’s husband was a doctor, and so she had a similar background, although that may not be relevant. Anyway, my colleague specifically stated that she would tell the police what she knew. I affirmed (and still believe) that I would remain silent.
I was surprised afterward by the number of people who said they would speak to the police. In effect, ratting on your spouse.
Everyone understood that there was no legal obligation to speak to police.
My colleague and I were (are) good friends, but I could never look at her the same way.
If I could legally pardon my son and spare him of the consequences of a criminal conviction, I would. Same principle involved. He’s my son.
In the case of the doctor, the wife was widely condemned in public for not speaking to police. I did not know what was more astonishing, the moral inversion or the lack of realism.
Let’s check a few details.
The only relevant evidence she could give is whether he was in the house. Anything else would be hearsay and untrustworthy.
There’s also the issue of marital privilege, meaning that nothing she said to police could be used against the doc in court.
So my astonishment is that whatever she said would even have any value to the cops.
Cops do like information, even if it’s not usable in court, even if it’s a lie or untrustworthy (they’ll judge that, thank you), and even if it’s something they can get later.
“He just got here” and “He’s in the bathroom” are both very useful to the police, IMO.
True enough, and neither answer is a betrayal IMHO.
I could understand that to a point.
But this was manslaughter, not petit theft. Someone DIED because of what her husband did.
Same here. “To a point” is where I’m at. But yes – at a minimum, the husband left the scene of a vehicular accident which accident resulted in injury or death – still a crime.
IMMO, the wife’s moral obligation (under most systems which I can respect) would be to help the truth be found, but not necessarily before consulting an attorney. And if the attorney thought it best for her to stay silent, to achieve justice, so be it.
Without speaking to the Hunter Biden case, which is different, IMO, here are my thoughts on the drunken driving case.
I think the “I want to speak to my attorney” answer covers all immediate concerns.
Remember – the driver may be drunk, but the skateboarder could have easily done something which would have killed him regardless of the state of the driver. If it was all the error of the skateboarder, then the state of the driver doesn’t matter, other than he was unfortunate enough to have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. A skateboarder suddenly entering the street from between parked cars at night – or going the wrong way in the wrong lane on a street where skateboarding in lanes is forbidden, is at fault, and could be completely at fault.
After that, though, I think people have to make moral choices, and there will be disagreement. It will highly depend on the facts of the case, whether the wife is righteously or immorally protecting her husband.
Before the facts are known, the wife taking full advantage of the law is sound, in my opinion, and thus I have to agree with you. I don’t really know the facts of the case. For all I know, it was all on the skateboarder, and not on the drunk driver.
Nevertheless, it is a crime against one’s neighbor to accidentally hurt them with a vehicle – even if it’s all their fault – and to run away. Even more so, killing them. There is rendering unto Caesar in this case, but there is also rendering unto God. The husband clearly committed a crime.
As the innocent party, I would encourage my spouse, with the counsel of a good lawyer, to help the police resolve the case for maximum truth and justice, making sure that all exonerating information is given to the investigators.
Standing by one’s spouse should not, IMO, include the furtherance of the immoral and the unjust – particularly when those things are clear.
We should also not presume that the wife’s testimony could not be, overall, extremely exonerating for the husband. Her testimony at trial might be very helpful.
The limits of the law are not a good guide to morality. In fact, in my opinion, that attitude is what underlies lawfare, which knowingly abuses the deficiencies of the legal system to knowingly do things which should be against the law, but can legally be done, by imperfections in the legal system. Thus, one can know that some process against an enemy is un-Constitutional, but still do it anyway, fully expecting that it will go to court and eventually be struck down, but that the abuse of the process will punish an enemy. That is quite legal, but it is not moral, IMO.
Concerning Hunter a long time ago he wold have understood that I would not bail him out . my kids knew I never bail them out of jail. One of the kids thanked me that I laid it out for them . Non ever got in trouble. Biden failed his kid a long time ago.
We made that point in front of our kids, but especially about our special needs son who was often verbally & behaviorally out of control when younger. We really wanted to keep his issues well below the radar of authorities, if possible. Once in HS when entering a football game his staff person, who was with him but distracted, almost didn’t intervene in time with some alpha male type who was policing the entrance (different than other games they’d attended). It came close to becoming an incident w/ our son escalating instead of shutting up & calming down. Fortunately the staff stepped in to diffuse for that alpha had Zero Clue how to deal with a special needs situation…sigh. We always told Josiah that if he ever got arrested we would not be bailing him out so he Really needed to learn to control himself when out in public especially!
https://joannenova.com.au/2024/12/solar-power-is-so-good-the-govt-needs-emergency-powers-to-switch-your-panels-off-in-case-they-crash-the-national-grid/
For heaven’s sake, what morons. 😂
They want to do the same thing here, as the grid here is headed for disaster in deep winter as the birdchoppers don’t chop and the solar panels produce nothing when there’s no wind and/or at night…
LOTS of little panel setups on people’s roofs and balconies, by law installed so that the leccy feeds into the grid, but, since they’re low-end installations (paid for mostly by subsidies funded by we-the-stupid-taxpayers), they don’t have remote disconnection capability…
I’m deeply suspicious that TPTB will use this problem to shoehorn “Smart” meters into all houses, so that power can be selectively shut off, and the extra input from solar panels also shut off or turned on at will (of TPTB)…
Having a solar panel that doesn’t have the grid interface is illegal, so you can’t have an off-the-grid power supply. Similarly, there are draconian rules for those who want their own water wells…
And here I am, longing to have a small nuclear reactor in the back yard 😀 …..

“Fighting sinuses that want to infect.”
If you can stand it, DP, eat raw garlic. It’s a great natural antibiotic.
One way I like to do it is sliced thin, on some good sourdough bread with my favorite mayo. The bread calms the garlic heat a bit.
My sister has me drinking hot water with cloves, and she wanted me to put garlic and ginger in it. I don’t have any ginger, but I can do garlic. As it is, I’ve used half a big bottle of saline, and am seriously thinking about digging out the neti-pot.
This I can deal with. I need to find a movie on YouTube and spend some serious time with my old Kaz personal steam inhaler. This thing is over 30 years old. They don’t make them like they used to.
Steam inhaling is a great thing for sinuses.
I tried a neti pot once. I felt like I was drowning and couldn’t take it.
Neti-pot takes getting used to, that’s for sure, but it clears out what’s in the nasal passages like nothing else. I had a nasty cold years ago, and actually took it to work, and rinsed out in the handicapped stall. That one surely would have gone into an infection if I hadn’t done that.
have you tried Vicks? either under your nose while you sleep or on your feet with a pair of cotton socks?
I’d had sinus issues my whole life….but Vicks helps me breathe at night.
we also have a large humidifier in the great room because of the wood stove.
After last night, Vick’s is out at night. It just is. Half an hour of coughing up what came out of my head.
I have another remedy that works just as well. Specifically timed shots. Believe it or not. And yes, the old fashioned recipe for cough syrup I have is one part lemon juice, one part honey, and one part whiskey. It’s been used as a cough suppressant for a long time.
gees you got it worse than i ever have.
mine is more chronic
It’s not as bad as it could and can be, but still….
Peach brandy is far superior to whatever is in 2nd place.
Sweet booze…no.
To each his own. I’m guessing you never liked Harvey Wallbangers but millions of Boomers did and they owe their actual existence to Harvey Wallbangers [and related drinks].

The air in northwestern Durham County NC is colder and drier right now than in the 6 years I have lived here. Unusual, for sure.
And, there’s those damned chemtrails. Lots of them.
And, my sinuses are kicking up a ruckus. Right sinus especially.
Using a little Chamomile salve on the exteriors of both upper cheekbones areas around the sinuses — I hate sinus pain.
Am putting a tiny dab of Vaseline in the very front part of both nostrils.
Put around bowls of water (cheap room humidifiers) in each room — up where my Yorkie can’t get to them.
Taking hot tea with lemon and honey.
Keeping the dust / dander levels down inside the house as best I can.
have you ever heard or tried detoxing through the feet?
pat frederick
Thank you. Please amplify.
I’ve seen ads before for “pads” that get applied to your feet at night to draw toxins out of the body. i can’t imagine they work–never tried them. just wondering.
i have tried vicks on my feet–for me? it works like a charm. I breathe better and no coughing during the night.
probably no scientific research or medical studies to prove it, but everyone in my family swears by it.
If Vicks works via feet, why not some pads?
the vicks contains menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus. not sure what’s in those pads and what “toxins” they are supposed to draw out.
I apply vicks under the arch of my foot then hoe knitted wool sock on. Really works after a foot bath 🙂
The key board is sticking have problems with the m.
Also works 🙂
When I was a kid people if they had a cold did a foot bath. Works is great I do it now also.
Yes that is great and helps.
I got a really good, inexpensive humidifier off of Amazon. ROSEKM. Works like a charm.
Steam is the best, though.
A friend of mine heard a woman colleague say she had rubbed Vicks on her chest.
His response was “EXCUSE ME?!?!…[a few seconds pause]. Oh, you said VICKS. Never mind.”
He’s lucky she didn’t report him to HR.
The Neti was hit and miss for me. The game changer for me was the Navage. I use it regularly and now know when it is time to pull it out.
I’ve heard of that one.
I wanted to ask you about cloves being anti-viral. True?
Cloves are a good aromatic, which helps with sinus problems, but they are more of an antiseptic than an antiviral. Ginger is good because it is a “hot” spice, which can clear sinuses.
The best herbal antiviral is oregano. Don’t use the essential oil, though. Many people do, but it is to strong to ingest in my opinion. One good thing to keep around in winter is your own homemade oregano oil. Just put a cup of dried oregano into two cups of good olive oil, put it in a dark place for a few weeks, and use it on your bread, or drizzle it over pasta, or whatever.
Garlic is more antibiotic. Sage, if you have it (fresh leaves are better than powered dry) is also a good antibiotic.
Okay. I’ll give it a shot.
My oregano is frozen at this point. Rats.
You could just buy a jar of dried organic oregano and put it in some oil. I would.
I have oregano in the kitchen. I’ll give it a shot.
Can’t hurt, might help. That’s my whole philosophy of care.
Re: your recommendation for garlic … years ago I read and have used the following with success … thinly slice onion & garlic and sautee in olive oil at low heat until it ‘melds ‘. Eat as is (yummy) or on scrambled eggs or beef. I’d skip the bread & all pastas, etc. till sinuses clear.
Neti pot is too powerful for me. But I do a daily nasal rinse with a generic saline solution (or whenever nostrils feel dry) – squirt from bottle into each nostril then bend forward to lower head and move head back & forth. Then raise up & gently blow nose.
Also don’t forget Debrox for ears; they are a fully connected part of sinus problems.
Ever since ‘covid’ began hubby and I have used a product called NOZIN, a nasal sanitizer, (from Amazon) before we go grocery shopping or to visit family or any social outings. Whether it is psychological or actually works, neither of us have had a smidgen of illness despite family members having chronic covid or flu.
we used to put a tiny dab of neosporin in edge of nostril, but now use the NOZIN. If nothing else, they are subtle reminders to keep fingers away from nose!
All that sounds good. Whatever works!
From the Brian Cates tweet about the Gang of Eight above:
“They failed to stop him. And now they’re in a panic. Well all of them that were on the Gang of Eight **except for** Devin Nunes. Ain’t life grand?”
And Marco Rubio, right Brian? The guy Trump picked for Secretary of State?
This is the kind of clickbait bullshit that just irritates the crap out of me.
I get the idea the Marco Rubio pick has multiple purposes:
Secretary of State is a figurehead more than anything else. It’s the rats’ nest in the rest of the building that really needs cleaning out.
My thoughts too, more a deal for Marco than anything else. Maybe he’s rolled over on the rest of the “Gang of Eight.” And as you said his way out or more likely PDJT’s way for him to exit.
I wouldn’t put it past him. Marco may be a lot of things, but completely stupid is not one of them. If he really wants out, and is willing to roll on the others, PDJT will help him.
Trump is putting the CIA back where it belongs – in FOREIGN work aimed at OTHER countries. That’s how I see the pick.
well to be fair, American values ARE foreign to the cia
You owe me a keyboard! 😂
Ok, this is terrible, but I just realized that the little pig who “went to market” was actually killed.
I’m sixty years old, and this just occurred to me. A meme killed my childish hope. Great.
Yep.
Here he is 😆

Earwig !!!! Thanks, Carl 👍😁
This is SO great! Stuff like THIS is how you know the culture itself is changing:
“The songwriter of the Village People’s hit song “Y.M.C.A.” spoke out on Monday against the idea that the song is a “gay anthem,” and threatened to sue news outlets in January that continue to describe it as such.The song has seen a surge in popularity after President-elect Donald Trump used the music to dance to at his campaign rallies. Trump has been playing the song since 2020.”

This song has been a “gay anthem” for 45 YEARS with no push-back AT ALL. But NOW, it’s NOT.
The culture is CHANGING. Thanks be to GOD.
Uh, then just what … exactly … is it an anthem to?
The YMCA???
Pull my finger.
Have a look at the article.
The two closing paragraphs in your comment support my sarcasm.
FYI, there’s no way to win a lawsuit on his ‘offended’. Every time that song is played on commercial media, he and everybody involved get paid.
He’s trying to resurrect his glory days. Why? What’s the point?
Lol. The point is that it was cool to be a gay anthem ’til now, but not anymore.
ThanQ but I’m still missing the point.
To me, it’s just a guy desperately seeking attention.

Yours Truly: Mr. Kirsch analyzed the just-published Congressional report on the COVID-19 disaster.
Mr. Kirsch takes issue with the following statement in the report:
And presents evidence that the COVID-19 “vaccines” did more damage compared to whatever number of lives these injectables “saved.”
Yours Truly’s opinion is that the COVID-19 “vaccines” ** may have ** saved some lives, and ** may have ** kept some COVID-19 infected persons from dying — however, the truth behind Operation Warp Speed is much more complex than what Congressional members were briefed on and/or found out.
I thought OWS was, at least in part, using militarily informed logistics approaches to quickly create & distribute much needed supplies & equipment, like ventilators & PPE, not just ramp up the shots, fwiw…
Hi CV, I wanted to mention this brief blog post my daughter did, that made me think of you in how you’re dealing with your brother’s death. I shared it the other day w/ some comments so if you already saw it sorry for the repeat. God Bless YOU!

“A Pardon for Hunter, Prison for Navarro, Injustice for All — Salt Thrown into a Gaping Wound in the American Soul”
Peter Navarro, Dec 03, 2024
Team,
The Hunter pardon struck a nerve. Read this one and weep for our Republic. Please be sure to share it with a friend! — Pete
A Pardon for Hunter, Prison for Navarro, Injustice for All
No one in America has the right to be more disgusted about President Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon of his son Hunter Biden than I. While Hunter will never see a day of prison for all manner of heinous and treasonous crimes, I spent four months in a Miami gulag for simply defending the constitutional separation of powers against a partisan attack aimed squarely at interfering with the 2024 presidential election.
Here, the contrast is indeed striking – are you Biden apologists at the New York Times and Washington Post and CNN and MSNBC paying attention? Hunter was found guilty on three firearm felony counts and pled guilty to nine tax evasion charges. That’s up to 42 years in prison alone and up to $1.4 million in fines.
Yet, these crimes are mere child’s play compared to the heinous and treasonous acts Hunter might well have been further prosecuted for, starting with his alleged human trafficking and prostitution sins. There’s also Exhibit A in Hunter’s own laptop – which the FBI finally admitted was genuine.
Miranda Devine’s well-documented Laptop From Hell shows a coked out Hunter breaking all manner of drug laws – along with a Ukraine/Burisma influence-peddling shakedown and treasonous schemes with Chinese Communist Party officials undermining US economic and national security.
Memo to Brian Kilmeade at Fox and Friends and the inimitable Judge Jeanine on The Five:
The 200 felons I broke bread with during my four months in a Miami prison look like Boy Scouts compared to Hunter Biden. Yet, collectively, these convicted criminals will spend over 500 years in prison while Hunter eats steak and bonbons and cleans his cracked out false teeth with gold toothpicks.
Now contrast this situation with my own – are you listening Morning Joe and Mika, Jake Tapper, Greg Gutfeld, Margaret Brennan, and Chris Cuomo?
As a top advisor to President Donald Trump, I was issued an unlawful subpoena to testify before a J6 Witch Hunt Committee investigating Donald Trump for the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election. I refused to testify not just because the subpoena was from an unduly authorized and illegally constituted partisan committee.
I refused because President Trump had invoked George Washington’s doctrine of executive privilege. Accordingly, it was my duty to this country and the Constitution as well as my oath of office to refuse to appear. Full stop.
Over the course of my trial proceedings, the Department of Justice itself had to admit that, according to more than 50 years of DOJ policy, senior aides such as myself have absolute testimonial immunity. The DOJ prosecutors further acknowledged that this policy exists to preserve the constitutional separation of powers between the White House and Congress and thereby promote effective presidential decision-making as the Supreme Court has repeatedly opined.
Nonetheless, Biden’s DOJ justified my prosecution in large part because Joe Biden himself issued an illegal letter stripping Donald Trump of executive privilege and, by implication, me. As Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh opined on the illegality of Biden’s act in Trump v. Thompson (2022):
“A former President must be able to successfully invoke the Presidential communications privilege for communications that occurred during his Presidency, even if the current President does not support the privilege claim. Concluding otherwise would eviscerate the executive privilege for Presidential communications.”
But of course I was found guilty anyway by an all-Democrat DC jury and sent off to prison by an all Democrat DC Appeals Court before I could even have my appeal heard. Yes, the only working railroad in America is the DC Circuit Court.
Now, Hunter Biden gets the most sweeping pardon of anyone in U.S. history this side of Richard Nixon after his Daddy promised America repeatedly he would not do it.
I myself do not want any such pardon and will refuse any that might be offered. All I want now not for myself but for my country is for the Supreme Court to hear U.S. v. Peter Navarro on appeal and overturn my conviction, as more than 200 years of constitutional law surely says it must.
If SCOTUS does that, our nation’s highest court will settle very good law on two of very key constitutional issues:
First, can Congress subpoena the president or a senior White House advisor without violating the constitutional separation of powers? The answer must surely be NO as anything less would destroy executive privilege and the candor and confidentiality of presidential communications it protects.
Second, what constitutes a proper invocation of the privilege? Here, the court must reaffirm as noted in the Nixon era that the privilege itself is presumptive. Anything less would throw future White House aides to the partisan wolves and discourage the kind of effective presidential decision-making that executive privilege provides for.
Memo to the American media: Joe Biden and a whole gaggle of Democrat lawfare jackals with names like Pelosi, Thompson, Schiff, Raskin, Garland, Bragg, Willis, Graves, Aloi, Crabbe, Mehta, Marchan, Pillard, and Millett have done enormous damage to our Republic by weaponizing our justice system. The unconscionable pardon of Hunter Biden just throws salt into a gaping wound in the American citizenry.
If U.S. v. Peter Navarro winds up settling good law that forever preserves George Washington’s doctrine of executive privilege and the constitutional separation of powers from the mischief of the legislative branch, my prison sojourn will have been (mostly) worth it, and I’ll be a happy man.
Yet even with that, there will always be a bitter test in my mouth – and the mouths of the American people – from the blanket pardon of Hunter Biden by the worst president in American history.”

Peter, calm down a bit; the stress of injustice will make you crazy.
Just remember, living well is the best revenge. There’s no crying in politics.
there’s no crying in baseball
And no joy in Mudville 🙂
That too.
Peter, I am sad to say, they don’t care. If there is any decency among the gang you call out it is surely well hidden.
Love it. A reminder that there are actually patriots out there.
Peter’s was the best act of righteous non-violent civil disobedience in ages.

“What’s a checkbook?”
— any random denizen of the under 30 crowd.
As I understand it, balancing a checkbook is simply computing your current balance (once all checks have cleared).
They have no trouble doing THAT.
Balancing the BUDGET, on the other hand…
That is an interesting way of reckoning the difference between legislated law by politicians and natural law- what is legal vs what is right (or reality-based). Perhaps somewhat cynical but obviously based on observed experience.
Lawfare lives in that difference!
Lawfare and all manner of illicit and craven imaginings.

That terrible situation up there torques so many people who all feel anger and sorrow that we can’t do anything and we can’t make anyone who has the ability do it…..verified from a loud women gathering at the hair salon this morning. If Biden and CueBall had been there they may not have ever been seen breathing again

From the bits that I’ve seen, he’s begun the exact nation killing that woulld’ve happened here if Harris had been installed in…BUT YAY it didn’t happen. Godspeed to native Brits, Irish, Scottish and all
They all got their orders at the WEFfenSS meetings in Davos and elsewhere. Same thing with Habeck here…
The best metaphor for it would be that crazy Germanwings (sub of Lufthansa) pilot who committed suicide by flying a plane full of innocent victims into a mountainside in France (including a whole group of students on a class trip 🙁 )… and a few young families: all of them innocent, but dying because of that idiot. May GOD rest their souls.
The German economy, and by extension, people, is being crashed by the idiocy of the GangGreen(s) new steal; goals which are set but cannot be reached due to total lack of knowledge and logic and experience of the incompetents and incompetence that be…
And Germany used to be a nation of scholars and intellectuals and scientists. Now it’s more and more a nation of apallingy fecund, violent, low-IQ invaders…
It’s dumbfounding yet all Western ( including us) nations are perilously close to the same.
Was he also a cabal install like FJB, Truedope, & Macaroon?

BREAKING: A judge in Georgia just ordered Fani Willis to release all communications she had with Jack Smith and the January 6th Committee to plot the RICO case against President Trump. The court also declared that she violated Georgia’s Open Records Law. “The Court also hereby ORDERS Defendant to conduct a diligent search of her records for responsive materials within five business days of the entry of this Order. Within that same fiveday period, Defendant is ORDERED to provide Plaintiff with copies of all responsive records that are not legally exempted or excepted from disclosure.” Big shoutout to
@JudicialWatch
and the GREAT
@TomFitton
for another slamdunk victory. This could bring major legal troubles for Fani if, indeed, she coordinated with the federal government to go after President Trump. I have to say, the courts just haven’t been kind to Fani. She loses every time she opens her mouth to argue a case. She probably regrets going after Trump and just wishes she was on a cruise or cabin massaging Nathan Wade’s bald head.
There IS justice. And FANNY ain’t it.

Is it me or does chaos all over the place seems to have exploded since the Commies lost? I’m probably giving them too much credit but they do love to instigate unrest.
I agree…. I think the problems in Syria (you can’t be Syria’s) are instigated by the TLAs and Nuland’s ilk…
AND, because of that, Syria (in Germany) is no longer considered a safe place so EACH AND EVERY REFAUXGEE CLAIMING TO BE FROM SYRIA CAN NOW STAY IN GERMANY UNTIL THE CONFLICT(S) IS(ARE) OVER!!!!!
And, “oddly enough” the highest incidence of crime comes from
(wait for it)
SYRIANS…..
HELL almost ain’t hot enough for those droogs…..
Seems like it. Seems like the most evil people in the history of the world were very close to completing their takeover of the world, and now there’s a slight problem.
It’s not over yet. Long time between now and January 20th.
Yep.

Huge….and just in time
The federal government has the authority to deport foreign nationals in the U.S. illegally over the objection of local authorities, a panel of three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled.
The 29-page ruling was written by Judge Daniel Bress, with judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton concurring.
At issue is an April 2019 executive order issued by King County Executive Dow Constantine, which directed county officials to prohibit fixed base operators on a county airfield near Seattle from servicing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement charter flights used to deport illegal foreign nationals.

Just The News: “Chad Chronister on Tuesday announced that he would withdraw his nomination for the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
“To have been nominated by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration is the honor of a lifetime,” he wrote on the social media platform, X. “Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration.”
Chronister is a Florida Sheriff in Hillsborough County and received the nod from President-elect Donald Trump earlier this week.
“There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling. I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County,” the post concluded.
While Chronister did not give a reason for his withdrawal, the move came in the wake of conservative pushback to his enforcement of lockdown orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This sheriff ordered the arrest of a pastor for holding services during the COVID panic. He was tapped by Trump to head the DEA,” wrote Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky. “Glad to see him withdraw from consideration. Next time politicians lose their ever-lovin minds, he can redeem himself by following the Constitution.”
Looks like those folks may want to borrow some of Wolf’s Extreme Vetting next time!
Trump needs to use it on Bondi. She has to be the one who suggested this dipshit.
FL like most states, did dumb AND Unconstitutional crap. (This is NOT a pass.)
To FL credit, they bounced back well.
Montana lockdowns lasted two weeks. After that, nobody was getting arrested for hiking alone with no mask in Montana. Our churches were open. Our stores were open. Most places didn’t require masks. One or two did.
Pick a Montana Constitutional Sheriff. We have good ones up here.
But….but….but….
Aren’t there only three of y’all up there????? 😆
Lol.
We have five, actually. We got a couple who moved in during Covid.
Freezer therapy 😆
Where I live there was nothing. People went as always except schools.
Good riddance.
How in the world does DJT not have good people already lined up, after having four years to think about it.

The economy continues to take its toll. The container store could file for bankruptcy. Trump will stop the cancellation of student loans. Trump pushes hard against Canada with tariffs. Social Security is a scam. Trump floats the idea of getting rid of income tax. Biden’s pardon of Hunter is already backfiring. Biden set another precedent, exposed the DOJ corruption and positioned the patriots to bring people in his orbit to justice. The [DS] is fighting back as their world is collapsing. They are pushing WWIII very hard, they are panicking over the picks Trump is making. Scavino and Trump send a message. The traitors will be brought to justice, the gloves are coming off.

I don’t know that we need daylight saving time to be permanent. How about just being on regular time?
Just use whatever time it is in the only sane states (Arizona and Hawaii) who don’t do this dumb crap, and make it permanent.
This isn’t hard. Changing the time every six months is an exercise in moronism.
Those two states stay on Standard time.
I.e., the time we’re on now.
Apparently most people LIKE daylight saving time (which most of the US uses during the Summer) and want it to remain permanent. However, it means that “noon” doesn’t mean “midday” any more, not even on average in the center of the time zone.
Just imagine in June, where I live, sunlight starts at 4:30 am on Standard time. Up north it would be earlier.
I’d like to stay on one time year round as well since from time to time Easter is on the change, but there are advantages. Right now, with about three weeks to go until the shortest day, dawn is around 7 and dusk 5ish, but will be closer to 4:30 by Christmas. In the summer…all that light at 5 in the morning…as it is around the 4th of July, it’s light until about 9. Makes for some great evening deck and patio events.
The whole point was so kids didn’t have to walk to school in the dark. Who really walks to school anymore other than urban kids, and then they are accompanied most of the time.
If it was “for the children”, why didn’t they just change the school hours instead of resetting clocks?
I suspect that it was for the children — so they could feel arbitrary government interference that they could do nothing about at least twice per year. That way, by the time they could vote, they’d be used to it.
Can’t answer that other than in the north the days are shorter.
Really, getting up in the dark…yeah, no.
Which, again, argues for local solutions…..school times should be set by each school district, so that North Dakota can start later than Florida when the days get very short. There is no reason to have a nationwide “solution”.
Agreed.
Don’t change the clocks, change the schedule.
I get up at 5:15 every day. It’s always dark when I get up. I actually enjoy the quiet of being awake when most others are sleeping.
My eyes usually open with the dawn, whenever that is.
I have a light-alarm clock. I love it. It is one of the things I do to manage my Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Yes!
You and I are at similar latitudes, Which means the lengths of our days (interval between sunrise and sunset) will be almost the same on any given day of the year.
Standard time is based on the “mean solar time” (the time we’d get if we used the sun AND the Earth were in a circular orbit; it’s a sort of average) in the central meridian of your time zone. In your case that’s 90 W, in mine it’s 105 W.
Mean Solar Time for your location matches the sundial in mid April, mid July, the end of August, and a bit before the end of September. Which means at those central meridians, a sundial will match a watch set to standard time at those times.
If you are one degree of longitude east of your central meridian, your sundial will be four minutes faster than your watch (which is set to MST at your central meridian) on those four days.
Looking up St Louis, you’re a fraction of a degree (11 minutes of arc) west so your watch will be 44 seconds faster than your sundial on those four days.
In Colorado Springs, I happen to be 11 minutes of arc east of my central meridian, so the sundial will be 44 seconds faster than my watch, on those four days.
In other words because we’re both close to the same latitude and close to our central meridians, our day/night cycles are almost identical. (So I guess we do have something in common after all. 🙂 )
The problem I have with DST is that it makes your watch (and mine) read noon when the sundial reads 11 AM. Noon is no longer mid day, deliberately.
(Luckily we are both near our central meridians so this is easier to write; if you were (say) 7 degrees east your watch and the sun would never ever be within 20 minutes of each other no matter what.)
Seems Ben Franklin was motivated to write a letter to the editor about it way back when 🙂

Letter to the Editor of the Journal of Paris, April 26, 1784
To the Authors of the Journal
Messieurs,
You often entertain us with accounts of new discoveries. Permit me to communicate to the public through your paper, one that has been late made by myself, and which I conceive may be of great utility.
I was the other evening in a grand company, where the new lamp of Messrs. Quinquet and Lange was introduced, and much admired for its splendor; but a general enquiry was made, whether the oil it consumed was not in proportion to the light it afforded, in which case there would be no saving in the use of it. No one present could satisfy us in this point, which all agreed ought to be known, it being a very desireable thing to lessen, if possible, the expence of lighting our apartments, when every other article of family expence was so much augmented.
I was much pleased to see this general concern for economy; for I love economy exceedingly.
I went home, and to bed, three or four hours after midnight, with my head full of the subject. An accidental sudden noise waked me about six in the morning, when I was surprized to find my room filled with light; and I imagined at first that a number of those lamps had been brought into it; but rubbing my eyes I perceived the light came in at the windows. I got up and looked out to see what might be the occasion of it, when I saw the sun just rising above the horizon, from whence he poured his rays plentifully into my chamber, my domestic having negligently omitted the preceding night to close the shutters.
I looked at my watch, which goes very well, and found that it was but six o’clock; and still thinking it something extraordinary that the sun should rise so early, I looked into the almanack, where I found it to be the hour given for his rising on that day. I looked forward too, and found he was to rise still earlier every day till towards the end of June, and that at no time in the year he retarded his rising so long as till eight o’clock. Your readers, who with me have never seen any signs of sun-shine before noon, and seldom regard the astronomical part of the almanack, will be as much astonished as I was, when they hear of his rising so early; and especially when I assure them that he gives light as soon as he rises; I am convinced of this. I am certain of my fact. One cannot be more certain of any fact. I saw it with my own eyes. And having repeated this observation the three following mornings, I found always precisely the same result.
Yet so it happens, that when I speak of this discovery to others, I can easily perceive by their countenances, though they forbear expressing it in words, that they do not quite believe me. One indeed, who is a learned natural philosopher, has assured me that I must certainly be mistaken as to the circumstance of the light coming into my room; for it being well known, as he says, that there could be no light abroad at that hour, it follows that none could enter from without; and that of consequence my windows being accidentally left open, instead of letting in the light, had only served to let out the darkness; and he used many ingenious arguments to shew me how I might by that means have been deceived. I own that he puzzled me a little, but he did not satisfy me; and the subsequent observations I made, as above-mentioned, confirmed me in my first opinion.
This event has given rise in my mind to several serious and important reflections. I considered that if I had not been awakened so early that morning, I should have slept six hours longer by the light of the sun, and in exchange have lived six hours the following night by candle light; and the latter being a much more expensive light than the former, my love of oeconomy induced me to muster up what little arithmetic I was master of, and to make some calculations, which I shall give you, after observing that utility is, in my opinion, the test of value in matters of invention, and that a discovery which can be applied to no use, or is not good for something, is good for nothing.
I took for the basis of my calculation the supposition that there are 100,000 families in Paris, and that these families consume in the night half a pound of bougies, or candles, per hour. I think this a moderate allowance, taking one family with another; for though I believe some consume less, I know that many consume a great deal more. Then estimating seven hours per day, as the medium quantity between the time of the sun’s rising and ours, he rising during the six following months from six to eight hours before noon; and there being seven hours of course per night in which we burn candles, the account will stand thus:
In the six months between the 20th of March and the 20th of September, there are Nights:
183
Hours of each night in which we burn candles:
7
Multiplication gives us for the total number of hours:
1,281
These 1281 hours, multiplied by 1000,000, the number of families, give:
128,1000,000
One hundred twenty-eight millions and one hundred thousand hours, spent at Paris by candle-light, which at half a pound of wax and tallow per hour, gives the weight of:
64,050,000
Sixty-four millions and fifty thousand of pounds, which, estimating the whole at the medium price of thirty sols the pound, makes the sum of ninety-six millions and seventy-five thousand livres tournois:
96,075,000
An immense sum! that the city of Paris might save every year, only by the oeconomy of using sun-shine instead of candles.
If it should be said that people are apt to be obstinately attached to old customs, and that it will be difficult to induce them to rise before noon, consequently my discovery can be of but little use; I answer, nil desperandum, I believe all who have common sense, as soon as they have have learnt from this paper that it is day-light when the sun rises, will contrive to rise with him; and to compel the rest, I would propose the following regulations:
First. Let a tax be laid of a louis per window, on every window that is provided with shutters to keep out the light of the sun.
Second. Let the same salutary operation of police be made use of to prevent our burning candles that inclined us last winter to be more oeconomical in burning wood; that is, let guards be placed in the shops of all the wax and tallow chandlers, and no family permitted to be supplied with more than one pound of candles per week.
Third. Let guards also be posted to stop all the coaches, &c. that would pass the streets after sun-set, except those of physicians, surgeons, and midwives.
Fourth. Every morning, as soon as the sun rises, let all the bells in every church be set ringing; and if that is not sufficient, let cannon be fired in every street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open their eyes to see their true interest.
All the difficulty will be in the first two or three days; after which the reformation will be as natural and easy, as the present irregularity: for ce n’est que le premier pas qui coute. Oblige a man to rise at four in the morning, and it is more than probably he shall go willingly to bed at eight in the evening; and having had eight hours sleep, he will rise more willingly at four the morning following.
But this sum of ninety-six millions and seventy-five thousand livres, is not the whole of what may be saved by my oeconomical project. You may observe, that I have calculated upon only one-half of the year, and much may be saved in the other, though the days are shorter. Besides the immense flock of wax and tallow left unconsumed during the summer, will probably make candles much cheaper for the ensuing winter, and continue cheaper as long as the proposed reformation shall be supported.
For the great benefit of this dixcovery, thus freely communicated and bestowed by me on the public, I demand neither place, pension, exclusive privilege, or any other reward whatever. I expect only to have the honour of it. And yet I know there are little envious minds who will, as usual, deny me this, and say that my invention was known to the antients, and perhaps they may bring passages out of old books in proof if it. I will not dispute with these people that the antients might know the sun would rise at certain hours; they possibly had, as we have, almanacks that predicted it; but it does not follow from thence that they knew he gave light as soon as he rose. This is what I claim as my discovery. If the antients knew it, it must have been long since forgotten, for it certainly was unknown to the moderns, at least to the Parisians, which to prove, I need use but one plain simple argument. They are as well-instructed, judicious, and prudent a people as exist any where in the world, all professing like myself to be lovers of oeconomy; and from the many heavy taxes required from them by the necessities of the state, have surely an abundant reason to be oeconomical. I say it is impossible that so sensible a people, under such circumatances, should have lived so long by the smoaky unwholesome and enormously-expensive light of candles, if they had really known that they might have had as much pure light of the sun for nothing. I am, &c.

Poor Richard, indeed 😀
(sorry about the table formatting getting borked)…
He mentions taxing windows.
This was actually a thing back then in England. France and Ireland. Many people ended up bricking up windows. The English tax didn’t kick in unless a house had more than ten windows.
Very interesting historical info, but his advocacy for tyranny is quite alarming!
I will adjust to whatever, I just want to adjust ONCE and then be DONE!
I don’t want to lose that hour… just another trick of the deep state. And I hate the various “dances” that need to be done in the computing world because of it..
[I had a former colleague and friend who made a great routine in the MPE operating system to deal with that, really slick, but even then some apps didn’t take too well to it… it would slow time down on the one change, and speed it up on the other change… and since the changes happened in the middle of the night, the interactive users didn’t notice (or get too wound up)(at least for that 🙂 )]…
I’d really like to have a 28-hour day, but that’s not gonna happen anytime soon…
I did a stint of 28-hour days in college. You only get six days a week that way, among other dislocations. I haven’t repeated it since.
Chiefio was involved in some experiments with odd time schedules; he discussed that on his blog a while back. There are some that actually work (yeah, right), but most really wreak havoc on the body and psyche…
The people controlling the Mars rovers missions have to work on the assumption of a roughly 24 1/2 hour day. Since the rovers use solar power they are only active during the Martian daytime.
So every day they get up and go to work a half an hour later. Oftentimes they’re on a shift totally incompatible with the rest of their families.
I hope so 😏
People are too stupid.
It would be bad to be normal and uniform?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. To me, “normal” is the time I was used to for all my life until they came up with daylight saving time. I would be fine with going back to that.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least from an IT and systems programming standpoint, daylight “savings” time and the semi-yearly changes are an unparalled PITA.
And the original purpose, to extend the farmers’ day, is buried in the past, thanks to artificial lighting (in particular maddeningly bright LEDs) and other tools…
But, whatever ya do, keep STANDARD TIME!!!!!
I don’t want to lose that hour forever!!!
To extend the farmer’s day? I am skeptical of that. The typical farmer is up from dawn to dusk anyway, so changing the clock has no effect.
It was only when people began to work set shifts in factories that it became possible to think of extending their daylight hours after work (at the cost of an hour of daylight before work).

Tucker is back in Russia for discussions with Foreign Minister Lavrov on serious business, folks. Trailer below, interview will be coming soon.

Tucker / Lavrov interview will be must watch. Most informative. Putin has been incredibly reserved in his response to the US, UK, EU…
I spose we’ll see that tomorrow.
First on, https://tuckercarlson.com/. Then, I hope, X, Rumble, YT…
I found the part about the US. government stonewalling Tucker’s attempts to interview and get information revealing to the average citizen who does not follow all this like we do. That we are in a hot war with Russia is the news story of our times. It really does speak well to Putin’s “reserved response” as you state.
“Putin has been incredibly reserved in his response to the US, UK, EU…”

Certainly he knows a lot more about what’s actually going on than the American People do, and he has to know that all he needs to do is wait out the criminal regime in D.C. until January 20th.
