The Worst Idea Joe Biden’s Ever Had
President Joe Biden wants all Pentagon vehicles to be electric by 2030 – in just six years and seven months. America’s fearless leader previewed this policy on Earth Day 2022.
“We’re going to start the process where every vehicle in the United States military, every vehicle, is going to be climate-friendly — every vehicle,” Biden said in Seattle that April 22. “I mean it.”
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm just reiterated this objective.
I guess they didn’t get the memo that the American consumer has rejected said vehicles. Other than the woke virtue signalers, that is.

Thank you, DePat!!!
They keep pushing and persecuting Trump. I think things could get very bad, though of course I hope that doesn’t happen. But they are desperate and don’t even try to pretend they care about the rule of law anymore.
Just stay with Trump. They are digging their own political graves, and they cannot help it.
Trump was found guilty is the so called rape case. What a farce. 😡
Yup. How many red lines have they crossed now?
Plenty. But not enough to suit me. Let them cross some more. 😎
The more they do the more I am convicted he is the right choice
That’s true but Para pointed to someones comments yesterday and the guy said that if PDJT complied, in that particular instance, then any leaks are provably coming from the aggressors.
One word: APPEAL.
Sooo… Trump can’t “refute claims”?
Easy Peasy,
He has Plenty of “friends” that can and will 🙂
I could be wrong, but I’m guessing there is info that came out in Trump’s deposition that others won’t know about. I’m sure his surrogates will be speaking out about what they know, though!
The BIDEN DEPRESSION is HERE!!!
Some of us have been depressed ever since his handlers stole the country!
That includes me. I can’t even look at or listen to the man, never mind calling him president.
Agreed. He’s a Horrifying Usurper who will never get the President label from me, just like his 2X (or is it 3X) usurping boss!
Amen

LMAO!!!
Same goes for KCd’Turd, nobody did. Ever.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!
Amen.
Saving ethanol is the worst thing he did. It costs more energy to make methanol than is produced by burning it in car engines. Also, growing and making it uses obscene amounts of water.
Yep, but a prostration must be made if going to Iowa.
Almost as sticky as superglue.
“Yep, but a prostration must be made if going to Iowa.”

Not if he pointed out the whole fraud of ethanol, the obvious facts about how wasteful ethanol is, and then proposed a better deal than buying Iowa’s votes at the expense of the whole country.
But he didn’t do that.
Scott, he does not have the time. Also, at this point ethanol IS SET IN STONE.
I do not have the link any more but a Bankster said there is now NO WAY to undo the ethanol mandate. Too many of the elite/banksters are making $$$ from the scam.

Scott it is a LAW so it has to be rescinded by congress, unfortunately.
ERRRrrrr it is ETHANOL (grain alcohol) METHANOL is wood alcohol.
And yes, using corn (and grains) to make fuel for cars is STUPID. However POTUS Trump does have to play politics to some extent.
This is the upside:
Grain alcohol is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C2H5OH. DISTILLERS GRAIN is a co-product of the ethanol production process and is high in protein and fiber. It makes an ideal livestock feed.
Not only is using alcohol for fuel stupid, producing that much corn is tapping the soil of nutrients.
Actually, the breweries out there used to give dairy farmers spent grain and the Obama people nixed that. IDK if that was ever reversed. The cows loved it and it helped with milk production.
It is incorporated in commercial grain but OH!Bummer Inc has added regulations.🙄 Thus BURNING IT as ‘fuel to produce electricity’ is less of a headache.
I knew that but the neurons were playing games.

COVID Tests Declared Unsafe, Mass Recall Issued
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/covid-tests-declared-unsafe-mass-recall-issued/
by Jack Davis, The Western Journal
May. 8, 2023
“One brand of at-home COVID-19 test is being recalled amid a warning from the Food and Drug Administration that the test could lead to a bacterial infection.
SD Biosensor, Inc. Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests, distributed by Roche Diagnostics should be thrown out, according to a new release on the FDA’s website, which lists 44 affected lot numbers.
The FDA reported that about 500,000 tests were distributed to CVS Health. Another 16,000 tests were distributed to Amazon. The FDA said it is not clear how many units were sold.
None of the tests that have been recalled were distributed by the federal government through COVID.gov/tests – Free at-home COVID-19 tests or any other testing program, the FDA said.
.
.
The FDA warning said that anyone who bought a kit that has the affected lot numbers listed on the FDA website should throw the entire kit in the trash. The FDA warns against exposure to a liquid solution in the kit and said that if contact takes place between the liquid and either skin or eyes, the point of contact should be flushed with water.
Conservatives Are Looking For Ways To Boycott and Move Spending Away From Woke Corporations — Here Is One Way To Do It
The liquid in the affected lots has been contaminated with organisms such as Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Serratia species of bacteria.
Although the liquid is in a tube in the kits, contact is possible while using the kit.
The FDA wanted that infection from the bacteria “may cause illness in people with weakened immune systems or those with direct exposure to the contaminated liquid solution through standard handling, accidental spills, or misuse of the product.”
That’s not all, the FDA said. Test results may also be inaccurate.
The FDA warned that both false negative tests, in which the person has COVID-19 but it is not detected, and false positives, in which an individual does not have COVID-19 but is shown on the test to be infected, are possible.”
[continued at the link below the title]
If you think that’s bad, think of the millions that were likely contaminated with coronavirus!
I never used one!
1st, I suspected that most of them were made by chyna.
2nd, if chyna released the virus, why should anyone trust chyneez test kits?
3rd, the test was notoriously unreliable.
4th, anything the gov’t pushes that hard is automatically suspect
5th, it looked horribly uncomfortable to have a large q-tip jammed up your nose.
6th, there was no reason for a foreign object to penetrate any part of the body, when a saliva spit test would do the job. That spit-tests were only available in Australia, and not available for export, was (again) automatically suspect.
7th, there was no way in this world that I was going to allow any foreign object, with who knows what on it, to enter my nose or be RUBBED UP AGAINST THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER.
I mean, you gotta be &^%ing kidding me… 😂

Peonies are amazing flowers, with blooms that seem out-of-scale with the plants that bear them.
I planted my first-ever peony this year, called Shawnee Chief. I hope I do ok with it.
Beautiful peony!!
I hope I’m successful with it!
What a lovely peony!
Back when Yours Truly was quite young, somebody told me that “ants walk over peony buds to get them open.” I still remember going outside to where my father had planted peonies in the yard of the family home and watching ants walk on the closed buds. Those peonies were still going strong 45 years later when I sold the property after both of my parents had passed away.
Gotta love a plant that is that long-lived.
How beautiful. I only have a pink -white collar and a cream.
I got another one today, a division from a friend. It is a fern-leaf variety, that I think is a dark pink. I guess I’ll see when it blooms.
They are so beautiful . Lucky you 😅

Carrying a round in chamber saved my life.
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/carrying-a-round-in-chamber-saved-my-life/
This is an interesting interview, by Colion Noir, of someone who was caught in a situation where he had to use his firearm. The interviewee had seen a video by Noir about the importance of having a round in the chamber, and he started carrying that way, and he credits it with saving his life.
The description of the event happens in the first part, and then the conversation continues about how different the guy says the real-life scenario is from all the training he has done. He says he is known to be a very good shot, but he was 10 feet away and missed half his shots.
Things turned out okay for the guy, but at about 28:00 he says he talked way too much while being questioned by the police, without an attorney. (“Don’t talk to the police!”)
They also talk about the importance of training to shoot from the hip.
Reminds me of my early tae-kwon-do classes, where I was taught that the number one way of avoiding injury when a fight breaks out is to be elsewhere.
If you ever actually use tae-kwon-do or a gun, you’re already traveling off-road — and it’s not going to go exactly the way that you practiced.
Awesome video! Watched the whole thing. Learned a lot of EXCELLENT stuff from it!

“The wunderpus, one of the two species of octopus that we can now identify through the unique pattern of their stripes.”
from one of the comments:
Dictionary said:
The standard plural in English of octopus is octopuses. However, the word octopus comes from Greek, and the Greek plural form octopodes is still occasionally used. The plural form octopi is mistakenly formed according to rules for Latin plurals, and is therefore incorrect.

OK let’s see if the image shows after running it through Gab
Valerie Curren
The graphic relates to the 2020 “Pradhan et at.” paper that was withdrawn.
Here’s a copy of the original paper (it has “WITHDRAWN” on every page):
http://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.01.30.927871v1.full.pdf
“Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019 n-CoV spike protein to HIV-1gp120 and Gag”
IMO, Pradhan and the co-authors were getting perhaps “a little too close for comfort” regarding inserts being deliberately placed in the original Wuhan Hu1 (COVID-19) virus code. While there ** may ** have been some errors in the methodology or other technical aspects of the paper, IMO, “TPTB” simply couldn’t let the paper stand. So, the process was initated to get it withdrawn. \
What IS known now is that not only was the original lab-created Wuhan Hu1 (COVID-19) virus code a mixture of all kinds of things from lab experiments on animals — and, IMO, the mRNA-based COVID-19 “vaccines” that have the original Wuhan Hu1 virus code in the formulation most likely have the inserts in them also.
Thank you, RDS. The HIV inserts are Very Damning evidence of the psychopaths’ diabolical plotting. It’s a wonder that you could still find the paper given its withdrawn status!

So to answer the last question in the first story out of the box this morning. Story being “The Latest Details on the Epstein/Mawell Saga” and the last question poised in the story being “whose going to be arrested next?”, it appears we received the answer.
Oh what fun. Turns out it was an investor advocate Pete Flaherty, chairman and CEO of the National Legal and Policy Center, who was arrested and charged with criminal trespassing by police in Omaha, Nebraska, even though his name was on the list of attendees for the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting and he was arrested while speaking in his 3 minute authorized time slot.
Guy was taken off to jail where he spent three hours before he could make a 2,500 dollar bail.
Oh what fun! Lets see what happened.
Investor Arrested After Criticizing Warren Buffett’s Funding For Bill Gates’ Woke Philanthropy And Ties To Jeffrey Epstein
https://conservativeplaybook.com/2023/05/08/investor-arrested-after-criticizing-warren-buffetts-funding-for-bill-gates-woke-philanthropy-and-ties-to-jeffrey-epstein/
Anyway, thought it refreshing, especially with Buffet in attendance.
Yeah they like to make false reports of trespassing – after the fact it’s a false police report but it’s “oops, sorry” and there are no repercussions
Speaking of Epstein… here’s another reason why I love Catturd2. 😂
Not to mention the extra pair of hands that have sprout from the girl’s neck and face. What kind of monster is she? 😮
What in tarnation is the girl sitting next to Epstein doing with her left hand?! And why don’t her legs and knees match?
(Bets are now open on how soon AOC will fall for this photoshopped mess…)
The leg closest to DJT is Epstein’s.
Wow, so then the girl sitting beside Epstein has only one leg. Unbelievable.
The girl and Epstein both have one leg. LOL
Shit happens. 😂
Police Identify Suspect Accused Of Mowing Over 18 People Near Border; Has Extensive Criminal Record

Initially they were reporting this guys name as being Garcia (same last name as shooter) also.
There was this vid
https://twitter.com/TrueTXProject/status/1655328753910702082?s=20
In this vid, it appears that he does not have any tattoos on his chest or upper torso.
However I just saw a vid of when he was handcuffed and sat in the road and the tats are indeed visible. That was like 5 minutes ago. So I go back to add it to this post and now it is deleted and I’m seeing other vids that have been deleted too.
It appears as if someone is still working over time to cover up this guys gang status.
I think in that video, the tatts are there, it’s just blurry. Sort of grayed out. If he wasn’t Hispanic, I’d think he had chest hair.
Typical illegal. Speeding, ran a red light, crashed and ran. So hows he paying for that rangerover? Zero information on that. No job info, address info, family? His priors arent surprising but big gaps here and covering the tats is suspicious. Likely another cartel employee of the month.

Shooting Victims From Local Mall Identified
By Charles Grand – Junior Editor
May 9, 2023
https://dallasexpress.com/crime/shooting-victims-from-local-mall-identified/
Families of the murder victims killed in last Saturday’s mass shooting in Allen have started to confirm the identities of the loved ones they lost.
Community Gathers To Mourn at Shooting Scene
By Josh Carter – Staff Writer
May 8, 2023
https://dallasexpress.com/state/community-gathers-to-mourn-at-shooting-scene/
A community left reeling from a mass shooting on Saturday has come together to remember the victims lost and injured in Allen, Texas.
The best way to treat emotional trauma is with compassion, not lectures on gun control.
Which means he purchased his guns illegally and may mean the Army just like the Airforce had been in the Southerland Springs Church shooting may be on the hook for not getting is mental health info into the system. I’m sure we’ll hear more about it, but for all the moar violence the dems have planned for us.
Nextdoor has been lit up, predictably. Most of the posts aren’t stupid – thank goodness, but there are plenty of attention seekers using it as a soapbox for pushing their gun control agenda without compassion for families who haven’t even had funerals to mourn for their losses.
One post in particular emphasized the need to deal with trauma written by a survivor of a prior shooting – including a lengthy discussion of addressing trauma with children and with first responders. “Be patient. Offer Love. Offer support. Give grace. Show compassion.” Despite an appeal that “the reason for this post is not to cause political conversation or arguments” some people take it as time to sound off, but thankfully that was a minority.
Dallas Police Department is the Latest Victim of a Ransomware Attack
https://blog.knowbe4.com/dallas-police-department-ransomware
Unfortunately ransomware attacks have taken another victim. The City of Dallas recently confirmed that their police department suffered a ransomware attack. This attack shutdown essential services along with some 911 dispatch systems.
This was announced in a statement by the city in a press release. “Wednesday morning, the City’s security monitoring tools notified our Security Operations Center (SOC) that a likely ransomware attack had been launched within our environment. Subsequently, the City has confirmed that a number of servers have been compromised with ransomware, impacting several functional areas, including the Dallas Police Department Website.”
This attack could be a serious risk to the people of Dallas – with crucial services such as police, ambulance service and court proceedings possibly affected. Details of where the attack vector originated from are still unclear.
While ransomware attacks are costly to organizations in nature, they can be prevented. End-user education, such as new-school security awareness training, can ensure your employees are actively reporting any suspicious activity online.
InfoSecurity Magazine has the full story.
From the ‘half the banks are insolvent’ link above:
“The Treasury and the FDIC are still in the denial phase. They blame the failures on reckless lending, bad management, and over-reliance on foot-loose uninsured depositors by a handful of banks. This has a familiar ring. “They said the same thing when Bear Stearns went down in 2008. Everything was going to be alright,” said Prof Seru.”
Yes and no, Professor. Unlike you, I was actually there. The current parts of the BIMD story gives readers a snapshot. That evil people who are part of the coup against humanity say everything will be alright should be revealing today.
Spoiler alert.
Bear was clueless about where they were headed because they did not heed scriptural principles. The rank and file of government were also clueless for the same reasons. The evil doers knew that and took advantage. We the People in Tea Party form were splintered and unorganized as a resistance force. We were fed bullshiz, which stalled American resistance for a time. That led to Soetoro and more brainwashing and deeper pools of bullshiz.
Things are different now. Cankles never got in the seat. PDT happened.
It is a system of controlled implosion utilized by globalists to gain control of dirt and power. If you control the dirt, you control the people. Reference the oft repeated image SD uses of where the elites live and work versus the peasants. That image is spot on.
The rest I will leave for my story.
Communists are secretly Capitalists!
Communist grifters love making LOTS of COLD HARD CASH
Including convincing YOU that magically they – NOT the VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM – need reparations!
UT-Austin paid Angela Davis $25,000 for speech bashing capitalism
DAVID GLASSER – FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY •MAY 8, 2023
https://www.thecollegefix.com/ut-austin-speech-features-angela-davis-bashing-capitalism-calling-u-s-racist/
‘The real reason slavery was abolished was because it was no longer of service to capitalism,’ Davis said
A prominent racial activist was paid $25,000 for her recent keynote address at the University of Texas at Austin. During her speech, Angela Davis bashed capitalism as exploitative and called the murder of Tyre Nichols by black police officers “systemic racism.”
Davis, the vice presidential nominee for the Communist Party USA in 1980 who was previously on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, was the keynote speaker at UT-Austin’s Eric Williams Memorial Lecture on April 4.
Davis, who supports reparations, started the lecture by promoting the theory that slavery in the West did not end because of Enlightenment-era ideas about liberty and equality, but because industrial capitalists wished to engage in more pernicious racial exploitation.
‘The real reason slavery was abolished was because it was no longer of service to capitalism,’ Davis said
….
ERRRrrrr No it was thanks to James Watt and other inventors who were substituting MECHANICAL ENERGY for the energy from slaves.
What Was the Industrial Revolution?
It was in the 1830’s that you had the reaper, threshing machine, and iron faced interchangable plow invented. These were hitched to animals. Before that, to produce 100 bushels of wheat from 5 acres of land people used a walking plow, brush harrow, hand broadcast of seed, and a sickle, and flail for harvesting by hand.
It is useful to look at The Age Of Invention, A Chronicle Of Mechanical Conquest
It was first published in 1921 by Holland Thompson.
Well, according to https://en.mediamass.net/, Angela Davis has an “estimated net worth” of about $215 million dollars, in “smart stock investments” and “substantial property holdings”, and other vehicles.

I have peonies, they’re old plants and the blooms are gorgeous. I took pictures of the blooms one year when it was raining 🌧️ showing the rain drops on the petals. Unfortunately I didn’t keep it. No worries though I’ll wait till it rains this year and take a new picture.
Here’s Chico, the scaredy cat … bolts like lightning when some opens the side door.
I have seen peonies that are verifiably over 100 years old! They can live a very long time when properly cared for.
I have peonies that are in my garden since 1925. I love them and cut every year three off. I have them in a dark blue vase and the pink and white are beautiful.
Sounds lovely! You are lucky to have them.
The only thing in my yard that may be that old is a rhubarb plant. We dug out a piece to share with a friend of mine a couple of years ago, and the offshoot root we cut off was the size of my upper thigh! The main root was like a big tree.
The house was built in the mid-1890s, so there is no knowing how long the rhubarb may have been there. It is really good; it is never bitter, even late in the summer.
What a lot of history you have buried there! 😉
Wow. 😳
I love rubarb
You know, I used to hate it. I didn’t grow up with rhubarb, and then when I moved to Montana everybody ate it. And I tried other people’s dishes many times, and I just didn’t like the taste.
Then I read in a very old cookbook to add vinegar to rhubarb pie! I wanted to try it, but all I had was balsamic vinegar, so I added a teaspoon to the pie filling. It was SO good! Now I love rhubarb pies, crisps, everything, as long as I add that balsamic!
Balsamic vinegar will do it 🙂
They are grand and I’m happy they are so hardy. I give a HOORAY when spring come and there they are saying, “Well hello there, prepare to be amazed by our beauty” and I smile can’t wait.
I have a Hardy Hibiscus 🌺 that’s gorgeous I’ll try to post a picture. I’m checking now for new shoot telling me she’s coming back. I’ll try to find a picture to share.
Here’s the hibiscus …
I bet that ain’t as purdy as you. 😍
We have some along the garage that are pink & white. Sort of like this but not exactly 🙂
That sounds really pretty!
Oh they are, I love it when they come back. The blooms are huge, bigger than a saucer. 🙂🤚❤️
Wow!
Verse of the Day for Tuesday, May 9, 2023

“I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.”
Psalms 91:2 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
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 ONE ANOTHER
I have three articles I wanted to write. I just published the first one:
Progressive Education and the Destruction of America: PART 1
I should have Part two up tommorrow.
Great article. It’s depressing to realize what has been taking place in our country without most of us even being aware.
I pray it’s not too late to turn things around.
You and me both. However we first have to understand the SOURCE before we can correct the problem.
Now how to get this information inserted with various school board opponents around the country. Hopefully Wolf will have this added to the side bar, (which I’m sure he’ll do without further prompting given he’s already given you space there), so when we figure that part out we’ll find it easily.
I am minded of reading “The Underground History of American Education” by John Taylor Gatto.
While reading it I felt like I was lying in front of an oncoming steamroller with no way to move out of its way. Or in one of those horror movies where no matter how fast you run, somehow the slow moving monster catches up to you.
(This describes the book, though I suggest not buying it from Amazon, of course:
The Underground History of American Education: A School Teacher’s Intimate Investigation Into the Problem of Modern Schooling: John Taylor Gatto: 9780945700043: Amazon.com: Books )
Steve, we were lucky since science, math and engineering were the last targets. I will deal with them tomorrow.
Indeed. I heard years ago about the math textbooks for primary/secondary that were full of enviro activism but thin on math.
But even in our day science education had flaws. Stupidity or malice? not sure to be honest, neither would surprise me.
Teaching science to elmentary schoolers as a series of disconnected “units,” “this week we’re going to talk about stars, next week it will be atoms” just reduces what science has learned (even in broad outline) about the world to a bunch of incoherent trivia, a mass of stuff to be memorized for no reason. Although nods are made to teaching the scientific method, it’s just reduced to a formula. You get dinged for not following the boilerplate.

After School Satan Clubs gain popularity amid legal victories

Take over the school boards. It’s the only way.
http://www.theburningplatform.com/2023/05/09/is-it-safe-2/
by Steve Kirsch
Yours Truly: Mr. Kirsch makes a real argument that before taking ANY “vaccine”, the patient must demand to see the safety data for it. He also specifically disagrees with Chelsea Clinton’s call to have as many children as possible “vaccinated’ in the next 18 months. it appears that Ms. Clinton is working with the WHO, the Bill Gates Foundation, “and others” on this scheme. Some of “the others” are: UNICEF; GAVI; and “Immunization Agenda 2030” (part of WHO, also called “Leave No One Behind.”
“Leave No One ALIVE Behind.”
There fixed it…
I have to say, I agree with this article. I was very disappointed by Kari Lake’s recent position that the culture war is not the thing to focus on in 2024. Doesn’t she understand the politics is downstream from culture? Can’t she see that we have to win the war against the perverts and deviants to regain enough of our status in the world to effect change in it? Does she not know that the people of the world won’t respect a country in moral chaos enough to follow our lead? Very disappointing to me. It seems “politics as usual” has claimed another promising leader.
“The more obvious it becomes that our domestic political struggles are in fact part of a much larger spiritual war over the fate of western civilization, that we are today engaged not so much in a political fight as a religious battle between good and evil, the stronger the urge seems to be among Republican politicians to deny this reality and take refuge in the comforting political narratives of the past.
A perfect case in point was a tweet last week from Kari Lake’s permanent campaign, which managed in one fell swoop to channel the deeply misguided political analysis of the entire neocon Washington establishment: “No one is saying not to fight the culture war. But it’s simply not the most critical issue heading into 2024.”
“The GOP must show the country how it plans to turn the economy around & prevent World War 3,” she added. “We need to take this country back from @JoeBiden before we can take our culture back from his friends.”
Ah, yes. The comforting fiction that if we can just show voters how we plan to turn the economy around, surely then we’ll regain power, surely then we’ll have a mandate from the people — and then (and only then) we can “take our culture back.””
https://thefederalist.com/2023/05/09/the-culture-war-isnt-the-most-important-issue-of-2024-its-the-only-issue/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-culture-war-isnt-the-most-important-issue-of-2024-its-the-only-issue
Actually, I think Kari is correct.
WHY? Because the DemonRats WANT the fight to be about the culture war. They have ALWAYS wanted it to be about the culture war because CONSERVATIVES ALWAYS LOSE THAT WAR.
WHAT the Communists use to take over a country are protests, riots, being the squeeky wheel making demands.
Think about it:
Blacks are 14.5% of the US population
LBGT are 3.8% of the US population
Hermaphrodites are 1.7% of the US population
Muslims 0.9% of the US population
Hindu 0.7% of the US population (Never hear much from them do you?)
Buddhist 0.7% of the US population (Never hear much from them either)
AND the whites wimp out because that is what they are TAUGHT.
Russell described how he saw the communist tradecraft:
This is the crap our citizens have been indoctrinated with for a hundred years. You can not do a frontal attack.
BUT
You can address the Economy
You can address the invasion on the southern Border
You can even address the poisoning of Americans by Big Pharma, although I would leave that to Robert Kennedy Jr.
Once in control you can THEN address the SOURCE of our current culture war — PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION! Change Education and you CHANGE the culture.
I just wrote about the history of Progressive Education.
Actually, I think both are correct. Get the policies in place that make it easier for the cultural warriors to demonstrate the benefits of traditional culture. Which one comes first really doesn’t matter. It’s all part of the same fight.
I think it is up to us to do the ‘Culture War’ The Mamma Bears and Poppa Bears in school board meetings, town councils and making irate calls to politicians.
I want MAGA politicians to focus on stuff that will get them a WIN.

Unfortunate. And once the country is totally destroyed after the Russians win, all funding for Ukraine will stop and the claim will be the West didn’t have anything to do with wrecking the country.
The Biden Crime Family will have withdrawal symptoms when their money flow stops, the laundering details get publicity, AND Russia starts disclosing what those biolabs were REALLY working on.
There aren’t any rocks big enough for them to crawl under.

Interesting. Says quite a few American Officers were killed, but claims are still unverified.
Tweet out of Greece sums it up.
So somehow a lack of grieving widows is proof the story is false? Is that what the takeaway is supposed to be?
Seriously, are we supposed to believe that an underground command center as described isn’t classified at the highest level? We don’t even allow our special operators to tell their spouses where they are going yet somehow there would be a hit like that and immediately the spouses would be told?
What a bunch of crap. Russia took out a command center and we can’t do anything about it. Or even talk about it. A couple more hits like this and the money flow will stop. The chief beggar of the world might find his way to the table.

Steve Cortes, former Trump advisor, supports DeSantis for president. I know he has appeared on Bannon frequently, and I wonder what Bannon thinks about this.
https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-president-opinion-1798976
His three reasons are mind-numbingly ignorant, IMO. I hope he gets reamed out on social media.
Catturd:
It is Newsweek or National Review. Six of one and half dozen of the other.
Who knows what skeletons Cortes has in his closet and the deep state confronted him with it.
Sounds like he sat in the same strategy session as Bill Barr.
It seems to me that it backfires. It only makes me want to support Trump more.
Amen 🙂

Good grief, I have had it with the sunshine patriots and summer soldiers. Pack it in, you lot.
Here’s the answer to my question about Bannon.
johnny maga:
BANNON:

A MEGA pretender.
At least they are letting us know who they are early, so when ole Wind Sock Ron crashes and burns, their grift on MAGA is finished.
Yes people can be bought specially if money not character is the driving force.
In my opinion they are all turn coats. Cortes is just like any other fair weather Trump supporter. I now disregard he has ever said on Bannon he lost my trust.
Oh not Cortes! I used to love him on Warroom and looked forward to his appearances.
How disappointing!

According to two YSM sources’ headlines Trump has been found in civil court to have sexually abused whats-her-name
Jury finds Trump DID sexually abuse E. Jean Carroll in Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s: Ex-President is cleared of rape but ordered to pay her $5m damages
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12065045/Jury-finds-Donald-Trump-sexually-abused-E-Jean-Carroll.html
The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her when he called her a liar, ordering the former President to pay $5million in damages.
But they ruled after just three hours of deliberation that the evidence did not show that the former president had raped her.
Carroll bowed her head as the verdict in the battery allegation was read out. As the defamation verdict was read she bowed it again, nodding in agreement. Afterwards she stood up and shook hands with Trump’s attorney Joe Tacopina.
In a fiery post to Trump’s social media app Truth Social he wrote in all caps, ‘I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!’
Carroll left court beaming from ear to ear without making a statement to the media.
Can PDJT appeal and make her take a lie detector an or a mental health test
If she’s nuts she may actually believe it.
A lie detector test, even if perfect, can only detect a lie, which is to say a statement the person believes not to be true. The statement itself could still be false, with the person believing otherwise.
That is what my husband said. She might have been obsessed about him.
Appeal i think is easily done.
How does one know where one was 25 years ago? Why would he be in a women dressing room when he was able to have any pretty women he wanted not the ugly one. By the way he is a germ phoebe and would not touch her with a ten foot pole.
I dont think the low intelligence or vindictive jury cares.
I think you are right.
IMO, the jury did what they were “instructed” to do — find Donald John Trump guilty on “something” in order to destroy any chance of his ever setting foot in the Oval Office ever again.
Bamn.

The ReichsWEF – Part II
At the end the Colonel says there are a lot of Dems who agree with Repubs on major issues, and we have to put aside minor differences and work on those things. I’m not arguing against his statement, but I’m trying to think of something the Dems agree with MAGA Repubs on. Maybe rank and file Dems want the border secure, a handle on the national debt, men out of women’s sports, solid policing, etc., but they keep electing radicals to Congress. And we can’t work with those people; IMO, they have proven to be enemies of the country who are destroying it and its founding principles. But someone like Trump was able to bring out the best in (some) people and get some things done. We have to have strong leadership on our side.
We actually don’t know if rank-n-file dems elect radicals because we don’t know how much cheating goes on. I’m betting a lot more than we know.
Good point.
Better stores have always saleswomen around the dressing room. I have shopped in NYC and sometimes to my annoyance the sales person did not let me try on my clothe and they kept bringing more. There was always a person in the dressing rooms. Today they have a camera in most places.
I am just reflecting how the deep state and the dem communists going after trump in law fare . Believe me if they win 2024 can get after anyone of us. This is classic Stalin- Hitler type 0r government and Judicial system. The NYC Jury and Judge are past civil society.
I believe all that to be true. We are a far more populated and connected world, and they will not get people to go down without a fight. So long slow results or fast confrontation is the choice theyre playing.
Heck in the local Walmart they have a dressing room attendant. ALSO many of the dressing rooms ARE LOCKED and the attendant has to open the door for you. This is to prevent theft of high proced items of clothing.
I forgot about the lock and one has to have a key to get in. The salesperson has the key. This is all crap.
He makes a good point for something to watch out for. When they say a problem is global, and the onliy solution is global, you know it’s a scam. We know this, but i hadn’t heard it worded like that before.
When something is presented as “the science,” you know it is a scam. And you know something is a scam when dissent is suppressed.
So:
1.”Global problem” = scam
2.”Settled science” = scam
3.Suppressed dissent = scam

This seems like a violation of the First Amendment. You get accused, you proclaim your innocence, and you strike back verbally at the accuser, and you can be punished for that. That quells speech. It’s outrageous and ridiculous. But that’s what they’re going to continue to do against Trump.
Small point on this, (small only in that is so distant in the past). The person presenting this first map from the tweet is being misleading at best. The Muslims never held that land for the full 800 years as is being claimed. The map portrays the max extent of the Muslim invasion lands they were able to hold after Charles Martel defeated them in the Battle of Tours and forced them back into Spain. As you can see the situation stayed fluid from almost the beginning.
The Reconquista of Al-Andalus by Castilian and Aragonese kings got started after that as shown in the second tweet map.
With all that said though, the Muslims did bring with them much of the knowledge (continuing knowledge in some areas) lost to the West after the first fall of Constantinople to the Crusading Armies primarily in the form of literature in all genres.

Mini ground report:
Yours Truly went to a local Walgreens today.
The aisles are a lot wider. It seems that the banks of display racks are “thinner” in design — the display shelves are somewhat shallow.
Inventory — brands of items, like bottled water, that one saw even a couple of years ago, are no longer there. Looks like a decision was made at HQ to cut down on the number of brands of items for sale.
Greeting cards — prices appear to be way higher than before.
Only one check-out person at the front. Most of the former checkout-stations are gone, now being used to display “grab and go” items like candy, snacks, etc.

I just heard a few sentences of Frank Gaffney on Bannon. He says Chinese nationals are crossing our borders with “kits” of some kind and that if/when China decides to attack the U.S., they will have a fifth column of soldiers in our country to do Xi’s bidding.
I say this because Biden should be impeached, right now, for not doing his duty to protect this country.
I would say that a case is being built right now for fixing all this stuff.
I would say that a case is being built for somebody to do something about it.

Heh.
I got a Dell/Wyse 5070 thin-client off of Woot a couple of months ago for about $80.
It’s a locked-down little box meant to be deployed by the dozens throughout an enterprise, running things like POS terminals.
I started messing with it yesterday. It came with a proprietary OS with no shell and no way to add functionality.
Now it’s running Ubuntu 22.04.2 off a thumbdrive. Soon, that’s all it will want to run…..
Good job!!!
It started out trying to run Wyse [there’s a blast from the past] ThinOS, which is supposedly Linux-based but has pieces of BSD inside, including the bootloader. It got me to this lovely splash screen of a Northern California river flowing through redwoods. From there, I could read system information and not much else — it wouldn’t recognize a USB DVD drive I attached (with an Ubuntu boot disc).
Their description is: “Thin clients running Dell Wyse ThinOS firmware are designed solely for optimal thin client security and performance. These efficient purpose-built thin clients are virus and malware resistant, and offer ultrafast access to applications, files and network resources within Citrix, Microsoft, VMware and Dell vWorkspace environments, and other leading infrastructures. ThinOS based thin clients are self-managed, go from power-on to fully productive in seconds, and with no published API, locally accessible file system or browser, require no local McAfee Anti-Virus software or firewall to protect against viruses or malware.”
F12 was supposed to let me choose my boot drive. It had (a) local drive, (b) IP4 local network, or (c) IP6 local network. When I tried to choose the USB drive through “add device”, I got garbage that it wouldn’t let me select.
Doing some research, I discovered that Dell enterprise hardware accessed BIOS by hitting F2 during the (brief) display of the Dell logo on boot. I then was asked for a password. Further online research determined that the default BIOS password was “Fireport”.
There were settings in the BIOS for allowing boot from a USB device, so I twiddled same and rebooted. It went immediately to the river. I then tried a power down and F12 select boot on power on, and it still didn’t like the DVD drive. At this point, I went away and sulked for a bit.
I then went back to the drawing board and loaded a USB stick with Ventoy — a really cool utility that allows you to load the stick with ISOs of bootable disks and boot off of them (without burning to an actual disk). It is under active development (1.0.91 is 4/5/23 — https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases/tag/v1.0.91 — and they are serious about making it work everywhere for everything). I loaded it with 64-bit Ubuntu 22.04.2 and replaced the DVD connection with the thumbdrive.
Ka-ching!!! I was in. I opened Mozilla to ensure that networking worked (note — I’m usually paranoid about ensuring a firewall is up before touching the internet….but not in this case. The system was running off a read-only ISO — you’d have to encounter quite the malware to crack into that.
I’m doing a nice, long cogitate before I let the Ubuntu installer rip into the thing. Might I ever want to put it back? What if it bricks halfway through? Can I do a backup before continuing? I have time now, because I’ve cracked the nut — anything from here can use the regular Linux toolkit.
Sounds great – and a typical hardware multiple “hack-around” to get Linux onto it.
One does have a certain feeling of satisfaction — especially when their press blurb says it’s indestructible and I got the unit with no documentation.
And I have to admit that the possibilities inherent in multiple small machines with at least 1 gigabit ethernet port and 2 USB 3.x ports keep me amused. Just as an example, let’s say you wanted to backup system A onto tinysystem B. The straightforward way would be to create a read/write account on B and let A put its backup on B. But what if you create a read-only account on A, and let B read original files from A? When you get a ransomware infection, which one is more likely to get spoiled backups?
You make me wish that I understood all this better & had taken some computer courses back in the day…glad you are keeping your saddle on what sounds like a bucking bronco to me 🙂
The thing is, computer courses wouldn’t necessarily help you.
What fascinates me is that we have people who are used to engines the size of locomotives, and having someone suggest that they’ll have an engine on a little thing you can push around your yard to cut your grass.
Yeah, it’d be cool to know how the engines worked — but the real action is seeing how things that are cheaper and smaller can change the way people use things.
Something like 60% of malware is browser exploits, and 30% is email exploits. If you can have cheap little computers that don’t have browsers or email, isn’t there a major security improvement when you let them do critical things, like backups?
That’s very interesting & sounds reasonable.
