Let’s not give the Internet Censors a reason to shut down this intellectual haven that Wolf has created for us.


The Storm is upon us.
Please remember to Pray for our President.


And,


On this day and every day –

God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up


Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.

“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”


Guarding Your Heart

With all that’s going on these days with bogus impeachments, our stolen election and a world saturated with corruption and perversion, it’s difficult, and near impossible, not to be caught up in the complaining, disputes, contention, bitterness and anger that accompanies this attempt to destroy our nation’s relationship with God and it’s freedoms and justice.

In our country, a totally corrupt political party, corrupt courts, corrupt legislatures, corrupt media and corrupt citizens are willing participants in our nation’s destruction. And, internationally, corrupt countries and the corrupt rich, powerful elite join the effort. We are deluged on a daily basis with events that are destructive to civilized society, with the media doing all in its power to justify or cover up the corruption.

While it’s proper to aid as best we can the fight against this corruption, we’ve got to keep our minds on the fact that God is really in control here, and we, as citizens not of this world, need to pray, trust and believe that God will work out events so that, in the end, all will be according to His plan and for the good of those that trust in Him.

But, while events work toward their conclusion, we should be mindful that the evil forces of the world will use this opportunity to attempt to drag us away from God . . . both our thinking minds and our emotions.


Proverbs 4:23-26 instructs believers to, “above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Keep your mouth free of perversity; keep corrupt talk far from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”

When Solomon refers to guarding the heart, he means the inner core of a person—the thoughts, feelings, desires, will, and choices that make that person who he or she is. The Bible tells us that our thoughts often dictate who we become (Proverbs 23:7, 27:19). The mind of a man reflects who he really is, not simply his actions or words. That is why God examines the heart of a man, not simply his outward appearance and what he appears to be (1 Samuel 16:7).

There are many ailments of the spiritual heart that can impair growth and development as a believer. Hardening of the spiritual heart can also occur. Hardening of the heart occurs when we are presented with God’s truth, and we refuse to acknowledge or accept it.

Although Egypt was stricken with one calamity after another when the pharaoh refused to release the Israelites from their bondage, he hardened his heart against the truth that God Almighty intended to deliver His people from Egypt (Exodus 7:22, 8:32, 9:34). In Psalm 95:7, King David pleaded with his people not to harden their hearts in rebellion against God as they did in the wilderness. There are many things that can harden the heart and lead a person to deny God and they keep a believer from having a free flow of God’s peace and blessings derived from obedience. Guarding against a rebellious spirit and cultivating a spirit of submissive obedience to God’s Word is an early step in guarding the heart.

Hardening of the heart occurs when believers engage in complaining, gossip, disputes, and contention. Believers are instructed many times to avoid grumbling, murmuring, and complaining (Exodus 16:3; John 6:43; Philippians 2:14). By engaging in these activities, believers shift their focus away from the plans, purposes, and past blessings of God to the things of the world. God sees this as a lack of faith, and without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Instead, Christians are instructed to strive for contentment in all things, trusting in God to provide what is needed in His good time (Hebrews 13:5). Guarding against a complaining spirit and cultivating a spirit of gratitude and trust is another step toward guarding the heart.

Anger, giving in to temptation, and pride fight against the spiritual heart. Anger makes believers more vulnerable to the temptation to hurt others with their actions and words. Ephesians 4:31–32 instructs, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

Every Christian is locked in a constant, intense war with demonic forces. Many of us become so intent on fighting the external spiritual war that we forget that much of our battle is not with external forces, but with our own mind and thoughts. James 1:14–16 tells us, “Each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.” Sin always begins in the mind. A sinner must first conceive and dwell on the sinful action before he actually carries it out. The first line of defense, therefore, must be to refuse to even contemplate a wrongful action. The apostle Paul tells us to take every thought captive, so that it conforms to the will of God (2 Corinthians 10:3–5).

Proverbs 16:18 tells us that pride leads to destruction. Proverbs 16:5, says, “Everyone proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord.” Pride was the first great sin of Satan, when he thought that he could be like God and incited one third of the angels to attempt a coup in heaven (Ezekiel 28:17). For this reason, Satan was cast from heaven. Satan also tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden by appealing to her ego. He said, “For God knows that when you eat from [the forbidden tree] your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Eve desired to be as wise as God, so she capitulated to Satan’s advice to eat of the fruit of the tree. Pride was, therefore, the downfall of man, as well. Satan did not want man to obey God but to become his own god—determining for himself reality, meaning, and ethics. This satanic philosophy is the foundational philosophy of sorcery, secular humanism, and New Age mysticism.

Avoiding anger, pride, and temptation are also critical elements of guarding the heart. The apostle Paul instructs us, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things” (Philippians 4:8). Dwelling on these things will help to guard our hearts.

This actually dovetails with some thoughts I’ve been simmering for a number of years regarding the value of curation.

When I was young, I read Toffler’s Future Shock. When it was pointed out to me then, I could see it…..and as I’ve aged, it has only become more pronounced. We live in an age of excess, with a dizzying amount of variety shoved at us relentlessly — remember when there was just Coke and Tab? I look at Diet Cherry Coke today and just shake my head.

We’ve all got 153 channels of garbage and filth available on our video systems. If we actually looked through it all to find something meaningful and wholesome, it would consume our entire leisure time to the point where we never would actually watch anything.

I went to a design show where they had textiles and folding baskets and molded light-switch plates and all sorts of semi-arty semi-crafty stuff…..and there was a guy who was tasked with building little sample rooms out by the lobby that showed all the stuff in some sort of context. In effect, he was the curator of his little rooms.

If you’ve ever shopped at an IKEA, they do the same thing (and it seems to work for them, ’cause they keep doing it). They have sample rooms where you can see their components work together in groups handling everyday tasks. (Then you go buy the stuff in large flat boxes and spend six weeks putting it together.)

EnglishGardenSupplies.com wants to help you make a little English-style garden at your home using American-made components. It’s a worthy endeavor. But they need to recognize that they are selling curation. Everyone wants to get free help to assemble a coherent plan, then buy all the components from low-cost suppliers. You really have to go above and beyond to capture a customer and have her want to stick with you once the curation has been done. As an example of who does this, I can point to https://littlemachineshop.com/ .

This also helps throw Amazon into some perspective…..they want to be your everything in curation; they want to know everything you want before you want it….but they are stuck as the “low-cost supplier”. And their efforts to curate your life probably creep you out and piss you off more than they provide value — which is why Amazon essentially breaks even on sales of product through Amazon and really only makes money on AWS.

As a final gloss on the issue, you’ve probably heard me talk about my years running the operations for a fiberoptic telecommunications equipment company. Unlike many CPAs or finance guys, I’d dive into the parts and the processes all the time. And we’d end-up with a bunch of weird rules-of-thumb that significantly improved things in our little world.

To take one example, we used to stock 1%, 2%, and 5% carbon and metal-film resistors. Engineers had been taught to use the lowest cost resistor in a circuit “to save money” and that would frequently be a 5% carbon — but we’d end up not being able to get stock and have to substitute. Mind you, we’d make our boards in batches of 50-90, not in thousands. I pushed us to standardize on 1% metal-film resistors from the Mouser house brand — we could eliminate four boxes in our stockroom, buy in larger quantities so the price was lower, and — bonus — the particular manufacturer was smaller than most, so the resistors could always be made to fit in older designs. In addition, getting “used to” the smaller resistor meant that our newer designs could be more compact.

So, here I was, years later, thinking of the value of “curation” in a general way…..and it changed my perception of inventory changes I had done twenty years earlier. We had been actively curating our inventory with an eye toward the company’s needs, and improved its operations by doing so.

Priemer 1 Supplies does the same. They have very knowledgeable people who will help you with problems and videos and Downloadable Instructions and Charts.
Also their equipment while expansive is very very good and worth the cost.

Jeffers is also good.

There were a few comments on yesterday’s open thread about reforming election law in various states. A comment was made that dem govs will just veto real reforms.

This is incorrect.

There is no fed constitutional authority for a gov to veto, or even participate in any fashion. The leg goes into a FED session (pursuant to the fed constitution), where it stands alone, in order to create/modify election law(s) which take effect upon majority votes in both state houses in each state.

This is what the elector certification squabble was all about – fed constitutional authority delegated exclusively to the state legislatures.

michaelh

I agree – a big part of the problem was simply that the wrong people were having their say in mucking up the process. Calling foul is a critical part of the process.

And that said it won’t be perfect. Institutions are very corrupt. But nothing ever can be fixed by giving up. Surrender is not an option.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Two assumptions here.

1) That the federal government has any authority to tell the states how to run their elections (beyond picking the date)

and

2) That the federal government would actually do so–and at that level, it would have to pass congress and be signed into law (or passed by veto proof majorities). Since that would be political suicide for large numbers of congressmen who know they only win via fraud…

Nope, this is going to have to be handled piecemeal, and we won’t win in certain states.

Good thoughts!

This whole election had bruised our souls, but yet today I’m sure we all feel some kind of closure of the bad and increased hope for the good. If we trust in God at any time, it should not only be then, but now, too, and indeed at all times!

Gudthots

For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience.

And you shall call upon me, and you shall go: and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you. You shall seek me, and shall find me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.

I listened to the interview OT of Michael van der Veen after the acquittal. I think he had some adverse impressions of REALPOTUS before this case, but after listening to him, I had more respect for van der Veen. he treated the case, like ANY OTHER CASE. he said he was proud of his team–then said, no PLEASED–PRIDE IS A SIN. And he couldn’t (it was too emotional for him) discuss the vandalism to his house, he said his business is under SIEGE right now–and how he wished the country could come meet in the middle.
not what I was expecting at all from him.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Very interesting! Thanks for that insight.

He’s going through what I did in 2016 during the primary season, when I volunteered for Trump. It will change you. The “wish we could meet in the middle” response is BARGAINING. It does not happen. He will figure it out – he will have to toughen up.

The hatred toward Trump coming from the CCP-backed communists was INTENSE, and remains so. Dems “go along with the hate”. The head worker at our polling place was attacked from behind, walking out into the parking lot. I was falsely reported to the police as carrying a gun. The principal of the school LIED repeatedly to us.

Moderate Dems virtue signal to their more violent brethren because deep down they are not strong enough to oppose it.

It really made me realize what we were up against, and why what we were doing was important. This kind of opposition will CHANGE YOU.

Leftists in power are BOSS HOGG BULLIES with knowing pretense that they are kind, gentle, innocent little flowers.

I keep telling people – we are a civil rights movement. The left is just taking our civil rights from the other end of the spectrum, but they are doing it in the same way that the Dixiecrats stole the civil rights of a sub-population for political control without responsibility to those voters.

The new election theft by the left is no better and no different than election theft by Jim Crow Democrats. They’re just stealing power in the name of a different color.

I remain appalled that our DOJ is in the hands of such people.

You are entirely right!!

The only coming together will be when the normie liberals renounce what their party has done and then cleans house of the communists.

We are in the process of ejecting the globalists and communists from the Republican Party.

It must be done and if the local communist is your neighbor, so be it. They shouldn’t hold office or have authority over anyone in the community.

singingsoul1

The same happens in University. The communist got rid of the previous President about 5 years and now there is a communist as University President.
The history professor is also one. These people are not from S OH they are from other places. My husband having come out of the Airplane company sniffed them our right away. They were in social science already 34 years ago. Now there are some in City gov. The Presbyterian Pastor was one called it social justice he was from TX but he hated rich people except when they gave him money.
Most people are in the middle and reasonable. Here where I live was a strong hold of Unions and I do not blame them the people were exploited by Pittsburgh Steel companies. They are still exploited. No wonder they voted for Trump.

i think he was hoping there are enough of the left and right that are disgusted by any radicalism–on either side– to unite and form a bigger middle ground area…to work on the country’s problems.

singingsoul1

The turtle with his speech ruined that. He ignorerd BLM and Antifa that stormed the capitol and put the blame on Trump.
Wondering what do they have to hide and are they all in on the election fraught?. They can be king makers and juggle the machines and put people in to count who will cheat for a couple of $$

patfrederick

no the turtle sealed his own fate with that speech. many we giving him a slight pass in his dealings with REALPOTUS–because he was pushing REALPOTUS’s judicial candidates (or so we thought) thru. now we know better.
IF REALPOTUS had to deal with turtle in his second term, what would he accomplish? VERY LITTLE. by now showing his unapologetically traitorous colors, the people in his state can recall him…make his life miserable till he resigns…these are strategic moves to make America great again.

singingsoul1

You cannot and you hope police responses to you and shows up. He might have had BLM or Antifa vandalizing his home? I had the feeling he was very much for all people and most of all for the law ? I am wondering if that is why Trump has problems getting lawyers? Many bailed on him contesting the election. People need to make a living they have family to support .

suzyqster58

having to make a living is no excuse for bailing on POTUS and in effect the whole nations people.Sometime we just have to be a lion and do the hard things

CTR Changes Its Name to IBM
February 14th 1924

Today in 1924 the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR) formally changed their name to International Business Machines — better known as IBM. CTR had been a holding company made up of four subsidiaries that individually manufactured time clocks, punchcards, time cards, and computing scales. Company President Thomas J. Watson Senior “disliked the clumsy hyphenated title of the CTR” and chose to replace it with the more expansive IBM.

Latter IBM would help Germany with punch cards to keep track of processed Jews.

cthulhu

Any worthwhile tool can facilitate works of man both foul and fair. It is not in the tool to decide the right, but in the mind of who wields it.

cthulhu

Of course, my other possible response was the silly, “it could have been worse — they might have processed cards and punched Jews.”

para59r

That likely deserves a reference. It’s under “Dealing with Nazi’s before WWII”. We’ve covered it before. I’d add the text but it’s lengthy.

Got onto another forum, had a troll latch on. Posting for your reading pleasure, so to speak, with a few edits to eliminate crudity.

There is still Trump.

In addition Mike Pompeo and Ron DeSantis are in the bullpen, IMO.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is working her way up from the “minors” if you will.

There are others too, we just have to look for them. I think there is more depth in the non-swamp Republicans than we’ve had in years. Certainly better than the lineup from 2016.

Because voting sure works! Christ, you all are like domestic violence victims.

~~~

I will NEVER work for this government or its business partners ever again. Ever. I pray daily that it burns to the ground.

When SHTF I will be here to rebuild. Maybe, if we stay. Voting is an effort in *** with nothing to show for it except a raw ***.

michaelh

Is that kind of like posting comments on blogs? Completely useless?

No one said anything about working for the government. Are you aware of how poll watching is performed?

I mean, I’m a big fan of Havel too, and there’s a lot of wisdom in not participating in sham elections – provided, of course, that one is actually powerless in ensuring integrity of elections. That’s the hard reality to face – if you want your elections to be a fraud, then just do nothing, because that’s all that’s necessary.

So what is your plan? To go Galt? Or do you have a concrete plan of action at this point?

~~~
troll

Is that kind of like posting comments on blogs? Completely useless?

Information sharing and comparing notes on how to navigate the future is useful. Critical in fact.

So what is your plan? To go Galt? Or do you have a concrete plan of action at this point?

Yes and yes. You’re wasting your time on here if you think this system is worth saving. Try the local Young Republicans.

~~~
michaelh

Precisely whom said the system was worth saving? Not I – go back and reread. If it isn’t obvious that “the system” as it currently exist DOES NOT WORK, I can’t help people see it.

If you think information is worth sharing, that’s great. But what is it that are you sharing? I don’t have a rosy happy-go-lucky view that going Galt is going to turn out A-OK for me, my family, or frankly anyone else. Realism and not wishful thinking is necessary. That includes doing what is realistically possible within the constructs as the presently exist in reality, not how we hope they might be. If you can’t face that reality, as uncomfortable as it might be, another blog might be more to your liking. So if you have legitimate information to share, that represents a genuine strategy that can be used regardless of the shifting battle terrain that confront us, are you willing to share it? What do you advise as the OPORD?

~~~
troll

[Here troll posts one thing – then edits it after I reply. But two can play that game.]

Galt is working great for me, sorry about you and yours! This afternoon I enjoyed a delicious omelet made from eggs my Faverolles laid.

Now go back and monitor an election while I use my rosy vision of the future to order my spring seed. I’m way behind. LOL

~~~
michaelh

Do you really think you are the only one growing victory gardens and raising chickens and goats, and that makes you wiser than others? Making oneself resilient is important, but not much of a battle plan.

However, if you have anything to contribute, anything worth saying, anything that advances our mutual insight and understanding, and provides us with concrete and meaningful action – please, by all means let us all know, because I’ll still be around. I’m all ears.

~~~

Nah, you have Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Mike Plumpeo to campaign for.

In the meantime, I have an orchard to finish this spring and a shitload of other stuff to do. I wish you luck, you are definitely gonna need it!

OLD NOTES: (All quotes)

ANTI -HOARDING LAWS

Can Our Government Really Tell Us How Much Food and Supplies We Can Keep?

The short answer is YES, in a roundabout way. Due to numerous discussions questioning the existence of federal anti-hoarding legislation, I wanted to see if such Executive Orders had been written. First and foremost, we do not want to suggest people store items beyond “legal limits” if such limits did exist. Second, we want to separate fact from rumor buzzing around the Internet which has only added to the confusion. This search has yielded no federal legislation aimed directly at prohibiting food storage. But this does not mean “hoarding” is legal, and here’s why…..

….some presidents take Executive Orders too far confusing EO with executive lawmaking….

These EOs are not aimed at anti-hoarding but rather at seizure or confiscation of items and facilities “….These Executive Orders don’t define what specifically constitutes a national emergency and maybe this is as it should be. The specifics on hoarding are left up to the individual states.

executive order 10998
From Disaster Center
h ttp://www.disastercenter.com/laworder/10998.htm

Executive Order 10998 — ASSIGNING EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FUNCTIONS TO THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE

By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, including authority vested in me by Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1958 (72 Stat. 1799), it is hereby ordered as follows:

SECTION 1. Scope. The Secretary of Agriculture (hereinafter referred to as the Secretary) shall prepare national emergency plans and develop preparedness programs covering: Food resources, farm equipment, fertilizer, and food resource facilities, as defined below; rural fire control; defense against biological warfare, chemical warfare, and radiological fallout pertaining to agricultural activities; and rural defense information and education. These plans and programs shall be designed to develop a state of readiness in these areas with respect to all conditions of national emergency, including attack upon the United States.

SEC. 2. Definitions. As used in this order:

(a) “Food resources” means all commodities and products, simple, mixed or compound, or complements to such commodities or products, that are capable of being eaten or drunk, by either human beings or animals’ irrespective of other uses….

(c) Priorities and allocations. Develop priorities, allocations and distribution control systems and related plans to insure that available food resources are properly apportioned among and distributed to civilian, military and foreign claimants in an emergency and develop priorities, allocations and distribution control systems and related plans for the domestic distribution of farm equipment and fertilizer……

SEC. 5. Claimancy. The Secretary shall prepare plans to claim materials, manpower, equipment, supplies and services which would be needed to carry out assigned responsibilities and other essential functions of the Department from the appropriate agency and work with such agencies in developing programs to insure availability of such resources Ill an emergency.

SEC. 6. Stockpiles. The Secretary shall assist the Office of Emergency Planning in formulating and carrying out plans for stockpiling strategic and critical materials. In the administration of Commodity Credit Corporation inventories of food resources shall take all possible measures to assure the availability of such inventories when and where needed in an emergency. The secretary shall also develop plans and procedures for the proper utilization of agriculture items stockpiled for survival purposes….

Noncombatant Evacuation Operations

From the Senate special committee’s 1973 report on Emergency Powers Statutes
Joint Statement, Sens. Frank Church (D-ID) and Charles McMathias (R-MD)
September 30, 1973

Noncombatant Evacuation Operations
“The President has the power to seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, call reserve forces amounting to 2 1/2 million men to duty, institute martial law, seize and control all menas of transportation, regulate all private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all Americans…

Most [of these laws] remain a a potential source of virtually unlimited power for a President should he choose to activate them. It is possible that some future President could exercise this vast authority in an attempt to place the United States under authoritarian rule.

While the danger of a dictatorship arising through legal means may seem remote to us today, recent history records Hitler seizing control through the use of the emergency powers provisions contained in the laws of the Weimar Republic.”

That is for the Federal take on ‘hoarding’
…..To locate information for your state, look for laws about:
Blood Typing
Disaster Preparedness
Emergencies
Hoarding
Injections
Martial Law
Militia
National Guard
Public Safety or Public Welfare
State Militia
State Police Force

Hawaii As A Specific Example of Anti-Hoarding

For Hawaii, this information will be found in Title 10 under “Public Safety”. It is located after legislation on militias, state guard troops, etc. Then you find the jewel… In Hawaii you are considered a “hoarder” if you have more than one week’s provisions on hand BUT you have to dig to uncover this information. Here is a specific example:

“HAWAII REVISED STATUTES REVISED 1997, Title 10:

(1) Prevention of *hoarding, waste, etc. To the extent necessary to prevent hoarding, waste, or destruction of materials, supplies, commodities, accommodations, facilities, and services, to effectuate equitable distribution thereof, or to establish priorities therein as the public welfare may require, to investigate, and any other law to the contrary notwithstanding, to regulate or prohibit, by means of licensing, rationing, or otherwise, the storage, transportation, use, possession, maintenance, furnishing, sale, or distribution thereof, and any business or any transaction related thereto.”

Committee Notes? Huh?

In the actual Title document for Hawaii, you will not find the specifics for what length of time constitutes “hoarding” nor an amount. Instead, you must look at the committee notes which describes it as the opinion that one week’s supplies per person is considered adequate food provisions. It is not spelled out what those provisions shall consist of or how much is considered “adequate” until you get to the committee notes.

You will probably have to “dig” for the committee notes as well. Lynn Shaffer, our legislative interpreter, explains committee notes this way. “When the legislature agrees that a law or statute is needed to effect certain governmental goals to prohibit or encourage civilians to respond in a particular way, that statute has attached to it (you will see it printed in the law books) what is called “committee notes.” The courts, when making a determination of how the statute is to be interpreted and applied to the case before it, looks to “legislative intent” or what was recorded in the committee’s notes when the bill was meandering its way through the legislative process.”

What happens if a hoard is found:

“128-28 Forfeitures. The forfeiture of any property unlawfully possessed, pursuant to paragraph (2) of section 128-8, may be adjudged upon conviction of the offender found to be unlawfully in possession of the same, where no person other than the offender is entitled to notice and hearing with respect to the forfeiture, or the forfeiture may be enforced by an appropriate civil proceeding brought in the name of the State. The district courts and circuit courts shall have concurrent jurisdiction of the civil proceedings. Any property forfeited as provided in this section may be ordered destroyed, or may be ordered delivered for public use to such agency as shall be designated by the governor or the governor’s representative, or may be ordered sold, wholly or partially, for the account of the State. [L 1951, c 268, pt of 2; RL 1955, 359-25; HRS 128- 28; am imp L 1984, c 90, 1]”

h ttp://www.millennium-ark.net/News_Files/Exec.Orders/EOs.html

From the looks of it you would have to be a lawyer to actually dig out each state’s anti-hoarding laws and given the way they are buried it would be difficult to say whether or not the inability of finding such a law means the law is actually absent.

Why do you call him a troll? You may not agree with him, but his pov was entirely reasonable. Reasonable does not necessarily mean correct, just reasonable.

You disagree on the question of futility, and your argument to him begs the question, assuming the truth of your argument, which is either that things are not futile, or that there is worth in doing the futile if there is no other discernible way.

People make comments for many reasons, and in the big scheme of things, yes, any given comment probably has no external consequence. I would be shocked if any given comment is the butterfly which causes a tsunami (although who knows).

IMO Trump attracted millions of people who did not vote or engage in politics because they saw elections as a cynical exercise in corruption. And these people (in my personal experience, anyway) were overwhelmingly patriotic and “conservative.”

I respectfully differ with your pov. I think there is value in people expressing their sense of futility without being labelled. Again, just my opinion, but I think responding sympathetically (rather than disdainfully or condescendingly, as I have seen done, and I do NOT mean you), is more productive right now, and also IMO I think it is necessary for President Trump, DeSantis, Huckabee and others to fully understand and sympathetically engage with those who are feeling a powerful and totally justified sense of futility.

And I say this sincerely, it is wonderful that you have more of a plan. It is admirable. There is great hope because people have more of a plan.

Part of my plan is not to hector people who are feeling futility, and accordingly making their plans to deal with the futility.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

We’re actually going to have to deal with a NEW kind of sense of futility, because people understand how badly we were screwed in this election. The futility effect NOW is much different from in 2016.

We understand that an even bigger win than 2016 was THWARTED.

Let’s be extremely realistic. They will do that AGAIN – maybe stronger. How do we stop it? Normal means – what we just did – will not work. Be honest with ourselves.

There are a lot of people who don’t think normal means can get us out of this, and I’m one of them. We DO have to keep up the fight in the political arena, but I will state with great confidence that it will NOT BE ENOUGH. It is only enough to hold the line.

No matter HOW MUCH energy we put into politics, we cannot capture the White House without DEEP ATTACKS on the enemy.

  • Ban Dominion, Smartmatic, and all internet-connected voting
  • Prevent another “emergency” from interfering with the next election
  • Exemplary prosecutions for 2020 election fraud
  • Social media punished for interfering in the election in a partisan way

Those are just for starters.

We have to be realistic. They will not let us elect another Trump. The brazening out of LIES actually WORKED. They can do it AGAIN. I certainly would, if I was them.

patfrederick

I agree with everything you said except for allowing us to elect another Trump.
we don’t need ANOTHER Trump…
the one we elected in 2020 will do just fine…
I am not ready to CONCEDE.
I may be wrong–and I’m okay with that–but I refuse to count out REALPOTUS yet…
my faith, my trust and my hope doesn’t waiver that easily.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I’ll never concede the election. I will never deny that Trump WON. But I don’t see how he ever claims his rightful seat.

I agree Wolf, the demons will not allow our POTUS to claim his rightful seat. they will destroy the nation and watch as it burns if thats what it takes to keep him from rightful claim. and as far as elections go, there will not be another fair election at this point.

Tonawanda

I agree with all this, and must add that I also agree with michaelh and MAGA MOM and others who have not given up on the electoral process. Not giving up on the electoral process may ultimately be futile, but it is part of the dynamics, and we should not withdraw from any part of the dynamics.

We simply have to expand our thinking on what really needs to be done if the electoral process is futile, which I regretfully after many decades of involvement in that process, have concluded that it is futile by itself. We have been outflanked, IMO.

And folks who never voted before because they thought the electoral process a corrupt joke, but who were pulled into that process by our President, who uniquely gave them hope, may very well be the first people to fall back out of the process. Their previous perceptions have been confirmed in spades.

I truly do not know what to do right now. Way before Trump I was practicing ways of non-cooperation with TPTB. I know this is going to sound silly, but here is an example. I loved reading the NY Times, especially the Sunday Times. And I loved reading the New Yorker. I got a lot of pleasure in reading them DESPITE their unfair, unjust and propagandistic elements. They were wonderful to read in so many other respects, that I overlooked their bias. You may as well throw in listening to NPR.

Years ago I stopped buying those periodicals because I was contributing to the harming of our country in giving them money.

Our side does not have, nor has it ever had as far as I know, anything equivalent to the NY Times or The New Yorker, or NPR. And I am not sure we ever could. I used to read all the “conservative” periodicals, and still have hundreds of old National Reviews in my basement, but they never provided the same sense of enjoyment about non-political topics. I would love to have an NPR for our side, but we do not operate that way.

Refraining from giving the other side revenue is necessary, but barely scratches the surface. And their side will financially support losing operations, anyway.

Somehow the personal is political has worked for the left. And our side needs to adopt that pov in whatever form, even though it is hugely inconsistent with how we do things.

Somehow a consensus is forming on our side, and literally only God knows what that is, but IMO part of the dynamics is to understand the deep sense of futility. You do not tell the guy lying in the road after being hit by a truck to buck up and walk it off.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

YES – the futility is important. It has to be redirected into something which actually does NOT seem futile. And I’m not talking another “QAnon”. Minimal hopium now. Just what people NEED for pain relief.

One of the very first and most important things is to be WITNESSES TO THE CRIME and NOT SHUT UP.

What Wheatie said. Joe Biden didn’t win. We NEVER stop with it.

The GOPe (who was in on it) wants us to shut up. No. Not gonna happen. The STEAL is our motivator, and also our deep attack on the other side. It’s their ETERNAL SHAME. It never goes away. I want it to eat at them like CANCER.

But the futility part can be converted into “Yeah, we will win, but it has to be different.” What we do is RECOGNIZE their correctness. The system failed us. We ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

People who see the futility deeply should NOT work on “system processing”, because that is like ChiCom punishment of Uighurs, to make them concede to the Han system. It only exacerbates their sense of futility. No – people who see the futility of the system need to work on the “out of system” stuff where there is hope for THEM.

Tonawanda

wheatie’s idea is the best I have seen so far.

Our side needs to enjoy, celebrate, broadcast, repeat endlessly in the most creative ways: Joe Biden Did Not Win.

It addresses the sense of futility, and affects our culture in a very deep way, if this campaign can get traction. It is something we all can do and enjoy, as Alinsky would say. It is the TRUTH. It is their SHAME.

And we will NEVER back down, which is maybe the most important element of wheatie’s idea.

Check out Flynn’s interview. Not only does he correct the record on things – he also validates our general approach to future elections. He VALIDATES the feeling of futility.

https://www.westernjournal.com/bombshell-twj-exclusive-hour-long-feature-interview-gen-flynn/

Tonawanda

I got more discouraged as I read. I think we might have had different takes on this.

Just to point out a purely trivial detail: “left-leaning.” Why does our side do this sort of mealy-mouthed stuff?

And he says the election for dog-catcher, literally for dog-catcher, is consequential and valuable.

Just my opinion, but I think we are long past that. That is the sort of “culture is upstream of politics” which should have happened one or two or three decades ago.

I realize Flynn is beloved, and Powell is beloved, and there is nothing which is going to change that. As for me, they are examples of why our side is getting nowhere.

Flynn validates the Byrne articles, and the Byrne articles are incomplete. But what is validated is highly disturbing about what we all thought was actually going on behind the scenes.

I do not know if what I am going to say is what you meant. But Flynn validates the sense of futility IMO because he proves how unprepared our side is.

I will vote for dog-catcher, as Flynn suggests. But I am under no illusion that it will count for anything.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I hear you, but (and this is very important) I don’t treat this interview as necessarily all that Flynn would say if this was all history, and past tense, and he was speaking freely.

As I was READING this, I was REMEMBERING this:

https://t.me/themeitryx/759

So I treat his interview as “information” and nothing more. Not complete, not whole, not the most important, not necessarily revealing, not necessarily relevant. Simply information.

Tonawanda

I should add, I found the interview VERY fascinating for a variety of reasons, and TY for pointing it out. I would not have seen it otherwise.

Aubergine

What we can do:

1) DO NOTHING FOR LEFTISTS. Not one thing. If you own a business, figure out how to exclude them from it, without anyone knowing you are doing it. Be creative. Especially if you are a contractor of any kind, this is easy. Be too busy with other work to do work for leftists. They hate us working class deplorables; why would you wire their houses, fix their toilets, or cut their grass? Let them find leftist plumbers (good fucking luck).

2) Work on getting your state’s legislatures to pass laws that resist federal overreach. This is doable for some of us. This will only work of course if you live in a conservative state, so…

3) This one is big, but if you want to live in a SANE state, MOVE TO ONE. They can’t keep you in New York or New Jersey, or wherever. Get the hell out! Make a plan. It might take a while, but why live where you are mistreated, maligned, and miserable? If I didn’t live in a great place already, I’d be figuring out how to move to Florida!

4) BUY CONSERVATIVE. Find small businesses in your area that have your values and patronize them. Don’t shop anywhere that supports the left.

5) Turn off the TV sometimes, and just live life. Be happy, they hate that.

6) Surround yourself with like-minded people of all ages. Cultivate relationships with YOUNG people who are conservative, and build them up. They NEED US.

We can all do more than we think to change things. Get to know your local sheriff, work to improve your school boards. Think smaller than the national level, because all it is doing is making us crazy. WE can’t fix that. We CAN help our states take power away from the federal government, which it never should have had in the first place.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Good. This is getting me thinking.

As for excluding leftists – voter registrations are public. They can be used to DROP CLIENTS and customers from mailing lists. To CLEAN OUT THE CONTACT LIST.

If the WOKE and their evil corporations (like Facebook) rob us, we SHUN THEM.

Basically, we’re looking at SOCIAL DISCREDIT of the Social Credit crowd.

Aubergine

You’ve got it! 100% social discredit. And we work hard to support OUR SIDE so that the leftist’s stupid “social credit” bullshit only affects THEM.

LOL … I am basically a lazy person, and in old age that is a doubly bad trait. So when I don’t remember something exactly, instead of looking it up I’ll just paraphrase or invent the equivalent. The nuns would hate me for not looking it up, as they were always saying.

I looked it up and the exact phrase is a butterfly in New Mexico causing a hurricane in China. I was close!

And in looking it up I saw a quote which I LOVE and had never seen before. It expresses a thought which I have never been able to articulate to myself, and it from a guy who knows what he is talking about.

“As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”

Except IMO they DO refer to a reality which is the mystery of existence, but I think that is what the man was actually saying.

Posting in 3 parts …

So, just as I undertake to reveal “the plan” in regular posts, the world intercedes in its inimical way to confound me – and so a week passes by. But it was a GOOD week, which I will share later, since it has actually advanced aspects of “the plan” which has been stalled for 2 months.

So, to the personal journey that has led me to make seemingly fantastical claims. This part seems largely peripheral, but is included in the interests of transparency, since no story containing extraordinary claims can be complete without some detail of the person making those claims. Much of this has been shared over the years OT and the early days here – not reading this should not change your understanding of “the plan”, although it may enrich it. It is pertinent to some of the claims I will be making, if / when you proceed to interrogate the credibility of some important points to be made at the end.

My name is Peter Jason Delport, but known as Jason due to Peter being a traditional male name in the family, and there were simply too many around by the time I came on the scene. I was raised on the family farm, called Ysterklip (an Afrikaans name, originally Ijzerklip in Dutch), which means Iron Stone. This was in the Western Cape, about 1 hour’s drive from Cape Town. The farm is today deserted and derelict, bordering on (and now owned by) Arabella Country Estate’s western boundary (google maps will find it under that name) – a gated golfing estate with a 6 star resort complex. This location will become relevant later.

Having been born on 13 September 1964, I grew up wild and free, hunting by age 6, driving cars and tractors at age 7 and was given my first car at the age of 9 by a beloved Aunt. When I discovered reading, my wildness was quickly tempered as I dove into the imaginary world they sketched, much to the frustration of my younger brother and occasionally my mother. I grew up speaking and dreaming Afrikaans, and only spoke English to my Mom and occasional visitors who spoke no Afrikaans. I attended a local primary school, Afrikaans medium, with 50 children spanning Years 1-7. Our school principal was a member of the Broederbond (band of brothers), which was a requirement for Afrikaans medium schools in order to promote “Afrikaner” culture. It was a quasi political/cultural tool of the Afrikaner community. He spoke very little English, and from year 5 I was called into his office to go over his English lessons with him, primarily to check his pronunciation. My parents thought it was hilarious – I just took it in my stride and thought nothing of it.

My education was nothing special. I took to math like a duck to water, loved physics and metalwork in high school and kept my head above water with languages. The only religious education I got was during the 7 years of primary school – directly through the school, and my friendship with one of my classmates. I was the top student and athlete of my class (all 13 of us), until grade 5 when the Dutch Reformed Church got a new “dominee” (pastor) and his youngest son became my best friend, and he also bested my academically and athletically. So the few times I attended church was when I visited them on weekends. When he visited the farm, we did the hunting and driving around kind of stuff. I saw him again for the first time since we left school last year – he is now also a “dominee”. He had what was considered proud Afrikaner heritage – his great uncle was D F Malan, the founder of apartheid. Of course, the Dutch Reformed Church had theologically supported apartheid doctrine, and only denounced its participation in 1986. When we finished primary school, we all received a Bible – mine being the only English one. I initially took it with me to boarding school in Cape Town, where I attended Rondebosch Boys’ High – with 650 pupils. I was initially pretty daunted by this change. I still have this Bible, by the way.

JasonD

2 of 3 …………

I quickly found my feet in high school, did well academically and OK at sports. I generally made the 4x100m relay team, but never won the 100m sprint final. My younger brother broke all the records in sprinting, long and triple jump. I believe his triple jump record still stands. He is currently a medical practitioner in Wilmington, Delaware – quite affluent and a Biden voter. I live in Tasmania, am not affluent and am a Donald Trump supporter. But I digress. Within 6 months of arriving in the big smoke, I dropped any notion that I was a Christian and became an obnoxious mocker and scoffer of religions in general and Christianity in particular. This carried on for about 4 years, until my Mom asked me to desist, since I was apparently upsetting my Dad. I did not really know what their faith was – this episode gave my some awareness. So that constituted pretty much the worst of my “atheist” stage – except for later sins. After that I did not give it much thought, until 1986, when I did a free credit/course in Astronomy as part of my final year in my Mechanical Engineering degree at the University of Cape Town (UCT) – this was the year of Halley’s Comet – so Astronomy was popular. I looked into the heavens, felt pretty small and remember declaring myself to be agnostic.

It was during my engineering studies that I became largely English South African, culturally. I was dreaming in English by this time, and held Afrikaner culture in some contempt – me being a superior know-it-all type at this stage. I am not proud of this, just sharing what seems relevant, so that I and “the plan” can be judged, warts and all. I developed an interest in energy related matters, especially as it related to agriculture.  Initially, I found biogas generation to be of interest, and found a lot of relevant material in the Energy Research Institute of UCT. This interest in biogas waned same time later due to specific discoveries which are not obviously relevant. It was during my third year of study that I informed my Dad that I wanted to move to the farm and follow in his footsteps. He said, OK – just finish your degree and get some years as an engineer under my belt – if I still wanted to move to the farm after that, he would not stand in my way.

So I completed the degree, graduating with strong academic performance. I was on the Dean’s list every year, and got a lucrative academic scholarship with Anglo American, a mining powerhouse in South Africa at the time. I got exposure to deep gold mining – South Africa at that time had the deepest operational mines in the world, down to 4km deep – still does have the deepest mines, I believe. I also got exposure to both surface and underground coal mines as well as the associated coal fired power stations. One of my takeaways was that I did not want a career in mining.  The other was that it got very hot down in the bowels of the earth, with an extensive acclimatization program being required to be completed before you could even venture down to those depths to work. The general interest in “alternative” energy production methods remained. This had no connection with “climate change” at that time – climate change having got a one sentence mention in a Power Engineering subject.  

JasonD

3 of 3…

Upon completing my time at UCT in late 1986, I was conscripted by law to do 2 years of National Service to support the Afrikaner Nationalist government, who were engaged in a bush war in southern Angola against commie proxies. I was drafted into Anti Aircraft (35mm Radar controlled Oerlikon fire control systems), becoming section leader (rank Lt, later completed a troop cmdr’s course which came with a rank of Captain). I did this under some duress – all my university friends migrated out of South Africa to all parts of the world to avoid conscription – but I intended to stay and farm, so I did what it took to achieve that goal. It was during this time that I learnt how to lie to get as much leave as possible – and it was only after completion of the 2 years that I discovered how corrosive this was. At the time I felt justified since I did not support the apartheid policies – they were clearly failing and had deeply corroded the morals of the nation. Yet the lying by me to avoid entanglement with this system was itself morally destructive.

The most difficult period of my life started halfway through the military service. I had met my wife to be during my studies – we happened to have stayed together in the same student share house – renting different rooms – and became good friends. I was invited to her wedding (not to me) before my military service commenced – had never dared to risk getting out the friend zone. Of course, it turns out she had suspected my feelings all along. We met up after my first year of training had been completed (passing out parade, having officially received rank as Lt) on my first extended leave of 3 weeks. She was separated from her husband and I had broken up with my girlfriend to see her. Let us just say that commandments were broken.  Then she returned to her life at the other end of the country and I was left not knowing where I stood. Three years later, I was working as a young engineer in Cape Town, and she announced out of the blue she was moving down. She played a little coy, not committing, but more commandments were broken, a pregnancy ensued and a big commandment got broken, with me putting up only token resistance. The point of all this is to demonstrate just how lost I was at that time – and more suffering was coming down the pike – leading to actual harm to living members of my entire family. Dark times for lost sheep indeed.

There is a lot of American and internet culture that goes right over my head.

So there remains much to learn about each other, from trivia, to the big stuff. The journey is filled with so much richness, one simply cannot get bored.

Part of what drove me to silliness and levity is where your narrative took a breath. There is much to be told between then and now, and much will be hard to hear. Some mirth and folly before diving in may make it easier to say, and easier to accept.

Not as such…..but if you try to square me, I’m likely to go decidedly negative….

slowcreekno

Hmm now, what would a squared dog be? I’ve mused on rectangular vs polar bears before, but this is something else.

Now squaring the imaginary makes a negative, that one is easy. But the dog itself? Is it going to be something akin to the double-dog, as in «I double-dog dare you to [do something]»

Back in the university days, they had some kind of ketchup-mayonnaise concoction available to put on salads, we called it «600 + j 800 islands», since in order to turn it into the 1000 islands dressing advertised on the sign next to the serving tub, we’d have to imagine most of it. But it’s not quite that, here.

Great – look forward to it.
Every time I thought I had come to the end of the journey, and had an interesting tale to relate, I discovered more track to walk down.

I now find myself in a completely unexpected place. The journey is not yet done, in some respects it will never be – but I know where I am headed, for the first time. I know enough to make sense of, having reached a “waypoint” of sorts – so a good time to share, finally.

Oh, and I looked at the synchronicity YT videos you recommended at the time but never really settled in to absorb them, and then just did not go back. It was a guy with an Irish last name IIRC. I would like to look at those again.

“Note. For onlookers the wait is agonizing”

The wait hardly bothers me at all, or at least it wouldn’t, if I knew something was actually going to happen, instead of wondering if we’re just wasting time, waiting for nothing.

It’s not knowing if there is anything we’re actually waiting for, or if we’re just waiting for Godot, that is beyond maddening.

I suspect the evil forces would also be quite content if we were all just pacified into never taking any action, too.

Because what we’re waiting for… well, we don’t really even know, do we?

The fiancee went out and bought a couple of smoke detectors and I installed them.

Observation #1 — they purport to have 10-year batteries that are not replaceable — Duracell must Hate Their Guts.

Observation #2 — none of them use the same mounting as detectors in years past.

Observation #3 — the one with the flashing emergency lights is now $15 more instead of $10 more, and the lights are yellow LEDs.

Five years from now at about 2:00 am, an irritating chirping sound will let you know that your 10 year battery is about to die.

And since you can’t remove the battery to shut it up you have to take it out to the backyard and bury it. Happened to a friend of mine when hers went off and she couldn’t stop the blaring sound. If was freaking the dogs out.

McConnell after acquittal: Trump ‘did not get away with anything — yet’ | Just The News

McConnell, who voted “not guilty” in the trial, said the Senate’s decision to acquit Trump “does not condone anything that happened on or before that terrible day.”

Grandmaintexas

Yeah. He’s doing a good job of going down in flames with his own rhetoric.

McConnell fancied himself a king-breaker as well as king-maker.

His disdain and disregard of the voters was his downfall. His comments today were those of someone who has been soundly and roundly defeated. All bitterness and invective.

The Great Compromiser was compromised by his own corruption. His constituents had long ceased to be the citizens of Kentucky and the USA.

His constituency is moneyed interests and most likely foreign interests like China. I’m sure the dirt will start coming out now.

If Mitch was smart he would retire and try to salvage some dignity. Write another memoir, do some lobbying…

Buh bye, Mitch.

I’m just grateful that it’s snow…and not another ice storm.

I hope y’all don’t get any ice down there!
Ice storms suck, bigtime.

Grandmaintexas

No snow yet. It’s super cold here…in the teens, so unless it warms up a lot we should just get snow.

Stay warm!

wheatietoo

You too, Gran!
🥰

My main worry is keeping our pipes from freezing.

When there are so many consecutive days below freezing…the cold takes over and it’s like being in a freezer.

Houses here really aren’t built to deal with that.😕

Gail Combs

There are heat tapes you can wrap around pipes. We have a small electric heater in our well house and I insisted all our pipes be buried three feet down. (Fence posts go 2.5 feet)  😋 

wheatietoo

We’ve heat tapes on our three outdoor faucets.
Hubby also rigged up some cardboard ‘covers’ for them out of little boxes.

A lot of houses here are built on concrete slabs, with the water pipes running through the slab…then up through the walls.

We’ve got space heaters aimed at the walls where water pipes are.

Temps just dropped from 11 F…to 3 F.
So I’ve turned on our indoor faucets to drizzle a little…to keep the water moving in the pipes.

Not much else we can do.
😕

itswoot

So I’ve turned on our indoor faucets to drizzle a little…to keep the water moving in the pipes.”

During periods of sustained cold where faucets are being trickled, ice can accumulate within an outside drain pipe to the point where it blocks the drain.

I have a drain pipe that was installed shallow in the ground. It drains the kitchen sink. It freezes up if I don’t stay on top of things.

I heat up large pans of water on the stove (wood and gas) and slowly pour it down the kitchen drain. I do it at least every other day in the kind of cold weather we are having now.

When the drains have frozen up in the past (sad voice of experience here), I’ve had to go down into the basement, remove the clean-out cap, and pour hot water into the pipe using a funnel.

I have had ice-blocked pipes that have taken as long as two weeks to remove the blockage.

Grandmaintexas

We had them freeze the other night…just the hot water to the tub. We had been dripping them but apparently not enough. However, it thawed quickly. We are dripping day and night now until the weather warms.

wheatietoo

Good for you!

Busted pipes…BTDT…and it’s a nightmare, especially when it’s below freezing.

rayzorback

When I designed and built our new house, I kept this is mind and have NO pipes on exterior walls. Only 3 “frostproof” exterior spigots. No trouble (so far – 3 years)

It is all “pex” (plastic) piping – no copper.

I have a whole two feet of pipe in an exterior wall. I would have had to rearrange my floor plan significantly to avoid that. Cabinets open stops that, and if I forget…well it’s gotta get into double digit negative territory before it’s an issue.

Lucky for me that I have been using Autocad for over 30 yrs and have designed over 100 houses here in the US and some commercial stuff internationally. I don’t have to rely on someone else to design stuff for me.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I did my own design…though it is based on someone else’s house, he did his own design. I made a lot of mods to the floor plan.

rayzorback

Bravo Steve. Most houses are based on some plan or other. I specialize in design efficiency. Eliminating wasted spaces and maximizing storage spaces. A new trend that I think I may have started is enlarging bedroom closets and building in Dressers to eliminate furniture in the Bedrooms themselves. Most everyone loves this design feature.

Gail Combs

My apartment in Germany had that and I loved it. The ceiling were extra high so you had 2 sets of cabinets in the kitchen one on top of the other and another long counter with cabinets in a hallway like pantry.

Bedroom had a closet with storage above and drawers below with hanging space in between.

I LOVED that apartment!!

We were spared the blizzard conditions here in western OK…so we’ve gotten only about 5 inches.

The eastern half of the state got hit though, and it looks like you guys are getting dumped on right now.

It’s the cold that is bad.
Temp is -6 F and supposed to get colder tonight & tomorrow.

rayzorback

Correct.

Tonawanda

I don’t know if this applies to your situation, but on some very cold days/periods my wife and I keep the cabinet under our kitchen sink open, and have a small electric heater in the area so the ambient heat warms up the pipes coming from the basement. It seems to have worked.

wheatietoo

Yep! 👍
That’s what we’re doing too, Tona.

Got cabinet doors under the kitchen sink open…and a space heater blowing into there.

Tonawanda

Yay!

patfrederick

we do the same…
for some reason that is the only pipe that freezes.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

The kitchen sink is the ONLY water line in my house that goes through an outside wall. And I do OK opening the cabinet door, but I do have to remember to do it.

I made sure to insulate the heck out of the wall behind the line.

pgroup2

Leave a trickle of water running on your outside hose bibs.

singingsoul1

We never have pipes freeze. The basement is warm since we have a boiler and steam heat. the basement walls are double brick all around the house. The house somehow contains the heat. We are a corner house and the southern side of the house is always warm. This house is old and still have original windows no double windows. Still radiators hold it very warm and heating is not very expensive.
I cannot imagine having pipes freeze.
In St Louise my husband put pipe covers on basement pipes turned outside forces off.

a week before Christmas we got 15 inches…that never melted. we’ve had a few warm days since days, but the snow remained–and then we get little amounts overnight. it was blowing pretty bad and drifted some but it’s been quiet. 6-10 will be a plowing challenge for sure. hubby has one lane of the driveway open now. he may have to try to widen it just to have a place to put more snow…

Steven Wilde has connected low solar activity to the “loopy Jet” that allows the blocking highs that plagued us these last winters. Steven Goddard compared the ‘Polar Express’ shape to the Laurentide ice sheet in North America. – a very decent match.

I no longer have the quote, but one geologist explained how ice ages started. It is NOT REALLY COLD WINTERS. Instead it is what we see here with polar air descending to meet MOIST tropical air causing YUGE amounts of snow to be dumped. This is followed by mild summers where all the snow does not melt. Glaciers then start to build.

Ice free Arctic Ocean, an Early Holocene analogue

A new approach for reconstructing glacier variability based on lake sediments recording input from more than one glacier

…. A multi-proxy numerical analysis demonstrates that it is possible to distinguish a glacier component in the ~ 8000-yr-long record, based on distinct changes in grain size, geochemistry, and magnetic composition…. This signal is …independently tested through a mineral magnetic provenance analysis of catchment samples. <b>Minimum glacier input is indicated between 6700–5700 cal yr BP, probably reflecting a situation when most glaciers in the catchment had melted away, whereas the highest glacier activity is observed around 600 and 200 cal yr BP.</b> During the local Neoglacial interval (~ 4200 cal yr BP until present), five individual periods of significantly reduced glacier extent are identified at ~ 3400, 3000–2700, 2100–2000, 1700–1500, and ~ 900 cal yr BP….

Temperature and precipitation history of the Arctic

…. Solar energy reached a summer maximum (9% higher than at present) ~11 ka ago and has been decreasing since then, primarily in response to the precession of the equinoxes. The extra energy elevated early Holocene summer temperatures throughout the Arctic 1-3°C above 20th century averages, enough to completely melt many small glaciers throughout the Arctic, although the Greenland Ice Sheet was only slightly smaller than at present. Early Holocene summer sea ice limits were substantially smaller than their 20th century average, and the flow of Atlantic water into the Arctic Ocean was substantially greater. As summer solar energy decreased in the second half of the Holocene, glaciers re-established or advanced, sea ice expanded…

h ttp://climate.envsci.rutgers.edu/robock/MillerArctic.pdf

 From the paper Can we predict the duration of an interglacial? I extracted the 21 June solar insolation @ 65◦ N for several glacial inceptions:

NOW (Modern Warm Period) 479 W m−2

MIS 7e – insolation = 463 W m−2,
MIS 11c – insolation = 466 W m−2,
MIS 13a – insolation = 500 W m−2,
MIS 15a – insolation = 480 W m−2,
MIS 17 – insolation = 477 W m−2,

From NOAA I extracted the 21 June solar insolation @ 60N June NOT @ 65◦ N
Depth of the last ice age – around 437 W m−2 @ 60N June
NOW (Modern Warm Period) – 476 Wm-2 @ 60N June (only 39 Wm−2 higher)
Holocene Optimum: 523 Wm-2 @ 60N June ( 47 Wm-2 lower)

This would indicate that when the solar insolation gets somewhere below 500 W m−2, other factors (like volcanoes) tip the climate into glaciation.

HOLOCENE SOLAR VARIABILITY AND PELAGIC FISH PRODUCTIVITY IN THE NE PACIFIC
R. Timothy Patterson, Andreas Prokoph, Cynthia Wright, Alice S. Chang, Richard E. Thomson, and Daniel M. Ware

ABSTRACT

Many cycles recognized in the ocean sedimentary record have been linked to variable solar irradiance. This conclusion can be extended to include the paleoproductivity of fish stocks in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Predominantly anoxic sediments from Effingham Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, collected from a 693 cm segment of a 1125 cm piston core, archive a high-resolution late Holocene (1,800-4,700 years BP) record of climate-change and paleoproductivity in the North American Coastal Upwelling Domain (CUD). Fish-scale abundances of Northern Anchovy and Pacific Herring were measured in this core. Spectral analysis (SA) and continuous (Morlet) wavelet transform (CWT) analysis of the dataset were used to examine fish productivity cycles and their variability within the absolute time scale. Anchovy and herring populations cycle independently at decadal to centennial scales, with especially well-defined variability at the stationary Gleissberg solar cycle (75-90 years here). Several other cycles are non-stationary, changing frequency following transition of the regional climate to a higher rainfall phase that impacted coastal oceanic dynamics ~ 3,400 years ago.

The influence of the de Vries (∼ 200-year) solar cycle on climate variations: Results from the Central Asian Mountains and their global link

Abstract

…. The data were processed using spectral and wavelet analysis and filtered in the frequency range related to major solar activity periodicities. The results obtained for various tree-ring chronologies indicate palaeoclimatic oscillations in the range of the de Vries (∼ 210-year) solar cycles through the last millennium.

The quasi-200-year variations revealed in the palaeoclimatic reconstructions correlate well (R2 = 0.58–0.94) with solar activity variations (Δ14C variations). The quasi-200-year climatic variations have also been detected in climate-linked processes in Asia, Europe, North and South America, Australia, and the Arctic and Antarctica. The results obtained point to a pronounced influence of solar activity on global climatic processes.

Analysis has shown that climate response to the long-term global solar forcing has a regional character. An appreciable delay in the climate response to the solar signal can occur (up to 150 years). In addition, the sign of the climate response can differ from the solar signal sign. The climate response to long-term solar activity variations (from 10s to 1000s years) manifests itself in different climatic parameters, such as temperature, precipitation and atmospheric and oceanic circulation. The climate response to the de Vries cycle has been found to occur not only during the last millennia but also in earlier epochs, up to hundreds of millions years ago.

Navarro: What Pence Did ‘Will Go Down In History’ As One Of ‘Greatest Betrayals Imaginable’ (warroom.org)

Dr. Peter Navarro said Mike Pence’s betrayal of President Trump will go down in history as one of the greatest imaginable.

“What Mike Pence did to Donald J. Trump I think will go down in history as one of the greatest betrayals imaginable,” Navarro said.

“Clearly the Vice President Pence had a mission,” he said, and it was to block getting to the “bottom of all the election fraud and irregularities.”

“He refused to do that,” Navarro said.

“The last person on earth that wanted [the riot] to happen was Donald J. Trump because it allowed the vice president, it allowed the RINO Republicans, and it certainly allowed the Democrats to cancel what was going to be an investigation on Jan. 6 which was going to be one of the greatest days in the history of this republic because it would have allowed for an investigation into this fraud,” Navarro said.

They did NOTHING to prevent the riot. Specifically damage done. Couldn’t give a rats ass that Americans roamed the Capitol Building. That in itself is NOTHING in my mind. Doing physical damage was the problem.

Btter security was essential. Hell, Nanzi ensured NG were available. Uniparty ALLOWED the riot to freely form.

After refusing to stop the fraudulent Electoral Count – Pence has joined the Heritage Foundation – the group that designed both Romneycare for Massachusetts and Øbamacare for the USA.

That speaks VOLUMES.

I was wrong about Pence and defended him (as I did Jeff Sessions) long and hard against criticism until this.

I heard Pence refused to stand up against the aggressive LBGT in Indiana too.

If he were a conservative, he would not join Heritage. If he was a conservative Christian, he would not have bowed to the LBGT pagan Baal worshipers.

However, as we are now seeing, President Trump’s SCOTUS picks are not Scalia, Thomas, Alito level (social/political/economic) Constitutional conservatives either.

Gorsuch’s ruling that employers must retain employees that decide to change ‘genders’ is nauseating. Turns out Gorsuch is a liberal Episcopalian whose church has a partnered l-sbian priestess. That too is nauseating. The toll of destruction that this crap will wreak on our schools, businesses, culture is incalculable.

Tonawanda

I have come to the conclusion that our President, as a very practical matter, was basically told by McConnell who he could nominate. And our President, understanding the precise degree of leverage he had, made the best out of an impossible situation.

And IMO the entire course of our President’s first term was determined by McConnell’s presence, an irremovable obstacle.

Our President made the fundamental decision in the beginning. He could either attempt to destroy McConnell and Ryan, or he could cope with them, understanding the limits on his (Trump’s) freedom of action. In retrospect, if he attempted to destroy McConnell and Ryan, he may very well have got nothing done.

But Trump decided to cope and succeeded wildly, far beyond what anyone could expect. Not the least of his undeniable accomplishments was The Great Awakening, which is real.

kalbokalbs

Trump accomplished GREAT things, in-spite of the near total Uniparty operating against him for four years. R-CONs gave cover to Mueller for what, two years. Unforgivable.

If you cannot figure out what is going on, let me explain it in one simple sentence: There is No Pandemic, but there is an international conspiracy to use the claim of a pandemic to establish world wide tyranny, enslave us all and kill off billions. And if you take the Vaxx, you are much more likely to die, because the Vaxx is a trap, which snares you in their system of lies and control, while programming your immune system to have more violent and uncontrolled reactions to the next strain of coronavirus which comes along — a strain which would not make anyone normal, sick.

If the elite are as well aware of a possible coming ‘Ice House’ or ‘Mad House’ (One is as bad as the other.) Would that explain their 16 year plan to take down the USA AND WIPE OUT BILLIONS OF PEOPLE in an ‘orderly fashion’ ??

If you KNEW the Earth would not be able to support a large population AND you had the means, wouldn’t YOU want to save yourself AND THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST while killing off the ‘Useless eaters’ ?

Wouldn’t a ‘Vaccine’ mandated for the whole world that could be ‘selectively’ administered be the BEST WAY to achieve those results?

Wouldn’t you also want to SAVE as much of the DNA of plants and animals including humans that you can?

Wouldn’t you want to be able to use Genetic Manipulation to make a bright BUT subservient slave race?

Unless the fraudulent 2020 Election is reversed, it doesn’t matter a hill of beans.

No point in supporting any candidate or movement in politics when the elections are crooked and the justice department and courts refuse to enforce laws, but is also crooked.

It is up to parents to CIVILIZE their children. That means they need to learn ACTIONS have CONSEQUENCES like if you bite your sister, beat up your brother or destroy property YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Whether it is a pop on the butt for a toddler or more creative discipline for an older child, THEY MUST HAVE DISCIPLINE and it needs to start very young. Otherwise you have the problems we see with cops and the non-civilized idiots.

Medical tyranny in Canada.

Fta: “Health Canada has not revealed the location of facilities, referring to the “privacy and safety of travellers.” Nevertheless, a website has been created beginning to detail the locations of the sites in order to provide relatives of those interned there with some information on the whereabouts of their loved ones.

“When asked about the treatment of the two men, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended himself, saying “that these aren’t detentions; these are medically based isolations.”

“We are not detaining people,” Trudeau continued. “These are public health measures that are necessary to ensure that we are keeping Canadians safe, particularly given the arrival.”

Øbastard is a petty, vengeful, lawless thug – and these thugs are the fruits of his mind/heart, organization, training.

Until the courts, justice department, FBI are willing to punish these thugs from the top down, nothing will change..

Øbastard’s grand patron, $0r0$ has bought judges, DAs, politicians, etc. and thinks he’s got control of crime and punishment in the USA.

Hope they are both proved wrong and their deeds are exposed and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law.

On a related note, the same thing has been going on in the UK.

Because so many people here have been on lockdown during the winter, they have been watching a) current affairs programmes (not the nightly news), b) BBC Parliament and c) reading more online to find out what is really going on.

We are supposed to have local elections this Spring. It will be interesting to see how lockdown viewing and reading will affect votes.

Many Britons, according to a Scottish news programme I saw today on BBC Parliament, are now viewing their local and devolved (e.g. Scottish) governments with disgust.

We shall see in May, if everything goes ahead as planned.

BC Sheriff Quentin Miller Sets Reverse Protocol – Newton County Will Arrest “Feds” That Violate 2nd Amendment

A number of counties within the United States have passed various Second Amendment sanctuary laws or declarations in the event there are federal laws ever passed that encroach the right to bear arms. Newton County Missouri has taken that a step further.

Newton County Commissioners just passed a law that endows the sheriff with the authority to arrest federal agents if they attempt to enforce any laws related to firearms that contradict the Second Amendment. The county also inacted a “Second Amendment Preservation Act of Newton County Missouri”.

This Act stops –

• Any form of taxes on firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition that fall outside of the realm of being “common to all other goods and services”.

• National registries of firearms, accessories, or ammunition.

• National registries of firearm owners, confiscation of firearms, accessories, or ammunition that affect “law-abiding citizens”.

• And generally, any act past, present, or future passed by Congress and signed into federal law that infringes on the Second Amendment.

On February 26th 2019, Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller declared that his Sheriff Deputies would not hold ICE detainees. Sheriff Miller barred his own deputies from assisting ICE in their endeavors to enforce federal immigration laws.

Newton County saw what Sheriff Miller and other Democrat Sheriff’s were doing throughout the United States. So they used the same direction Sheriff Miller did with a reverse mirror image. Newton County declared that any law enforcement agencies or officials operating within the confines and/or under the authority of Newton County cannot attempt to enforce any federal laws that are in contrast with the Second Amendment Preservation Act…..

wheatietoo

Excellent!  👍 

And as I’ve said before…the States that have passed their own marijuana laws have set the precedent that ‘States can make their own laws’.

We NEED to continue echoing this thought. Hold the line at the County level.

Hold the line at the State level where we can. Abbott suggest a 2A Sanctuary state for Texas.

THANK YOU for posting Gail.

CALL TO ACTION FOR QTREEPERS

I just sent that information to my County Commissioners.

14 of 17 NV counties ARE 2A Sanctuaries. I think they need to update their position with Newton County 2A protections.

Also posted on a NV gun blog encouraging folks to also send to their County Commissioners.

SUGGEST FOLKS HERE, send information in Gail’s post to their County Commissioners.
^^^ THIS INCLUDES folks in CA and other 2A deprived areas. NUMEROUS counties in states like CA are conservative and their Sheriffs are 2A friendly.

—–

Carl. NYE County is 2A Friendly as is your Sheriff. I forgot her name. Maybe send all of them the info from Gail’s post. PROMPT them to update their 2A Sanctuary policy.

Nye County was the first or second of NVs, 14 2A Sanctuary Counties.

Great article! I think we’re seeing this very similar to Flynn. He’s seeing all of it – the sense of futility, the need for engagement, the need for REAL and fundamental reforms.

What I don’t see is any chance of things being overturned.

Exactly, Wolf.

And how do you make an internal change when the insiders control everything and have no interest in sharing?

Providence. God’s will is what it’s going to take.

You would think that by publicly exposing their sins and fraud that they would be embarrassed enough to change? But, no. They just ignore it. Their eyes are blinded by their own hardened hearts.

Looking at them yesterday when the 11 min. clip was played of them calling for attacks, fight, get in their face, want to punch Trump – they were proud of themselves.
Some of them were smiling at the memory/

By their own evil hearts, God has blinded and deafened them from the truth.

You make the changes the way the dems did when Trump was in office. Positive because if we go in negative we have negative results. Is like going tinto battle and say we will be defeated. Or get married and say this will not work, or having a baby and say my kid will be a failure.

Now Bannon claims DJT is going to run for Congress, to be Speaker of the House, and retake the WH in 2024.

When DJT is 78 years old.

Assuming we even have a country by then.

And assuming every voting machine in the country isn’t rigged by 2022, and quintuple-rigged in whichever district DJT runs for Congress.

The one-million percent better solution was to use the military while you had them.

But with Trump now out of office and that lever of force now in Biden’s hands, the question becomes how the new president intends to incentivize those governments to continue that status quo and prevent a mass rush on the southern border under his watch.

An answer is now in hand, and we can make an informed guess as to what likely will happen with the next caravan, thanks to solid new reporting by Reuters journalists Laura Gottesdiener, Frank Jack Daniel, and Ted Hesson.

Biden Administration Privately Demanded Guatemala and Mexico Block Caravans

Meaning, by my estimation, that Biden is eager to avoid that choice between televised scenes of his own administration beating migrants, on the one hand, and on the other, letting them surge through the southern border in huge numbers without Covid-19 testing, while demanding Americans change their lifestyles to contain the virus.

Mexico and Guatemala appear to be ready to comply with the new administration’s wishes that they stop this next caravan, according to other media reports.

UNLESS it’s part of The Plan™ – then Mike Pence not only betrayed The President of the United States, he betrayed the Constitution, the Electorate – the Voters, Taxpayers, Citizens of the USA.

It’s so hard to imagine such hardness of heart.

Is Mike Pence a communist, liberal, leftist???

Why did he immediately join ranks with The Heritage Foundation – a group that designed Romneycare and Obamacare?

GA/FL I do not believe President trump failed us. He was betrayed and I cannot exspect for him to give his life. I think they would have killed him like they did JFK. He has a family a young son.
He had no choices the military was not with him. Remember Gen Millie said “we have no King. ” The enlisted men are with President Trump that is why they are purging them.

GA/FL

Sadly – you are right.

What an evil bunch of traitors.

kalbokalbs

Once pence came out of the closet, two realities slapped Trump in the face.

  • Challenging the state EC votes was futile.
  • Solidarity in chain of command BROKEN. Thus military option off the table.

^^^ Trump knew it was OVER. ^^^

Additionally, quite likely Trump was shown he and his entire family would be JFKd. Not all at once. Simply picked off.

Whatever Trump chooses to do in the coming weeks and months, i’ll support Trump.

As the totality of the cabal universally acting against Trump, he is surely reassessing his Family financial losses over the nearly five years. Assessing Family financial and physical security going forward.

As for R-CONs, them asshoes are NO different that D-Rats, dead to me.

Only hope, if there is any hope, would be for Trump to replace Pence with Pompeo.

100% pence IS toast. Trump probably would never even accept a call from pence at this point.

Trump can go with Pompeo, DeSantis or Noem and win with ease, in a “fair” election

DJT chose him on purpose, and unless DJT is blind as a bat and he had the enemy vetting his picks, he knew exactly what Pence was.

Georgia,

I believed from the beginning that Pence was GOPe…

Secondly, I believe GOPe is against everything President Trump stands for… they like the way things ‘were’ in D.C. before Trump came along.

I don’t believe the vile rumors about Pence, but I do not believe that he had any difficulty joining The Heritage Foundation.

I have personally known some of South Carolina’s Representatives and Senators… they tell me, their wives in particular, that life there is extremely difficult… the numerous dinners and parties one has to attend, where the alcohol freely flows. I refuse to put labels on Mike Pence… it’s pointless in my pov… I know that he betrayed America… and he continues to do so.

From the beginning, it seemed obvious that the DJT/Pence ticket was a carbon copy of the Reagan/Bush ticket. To me, at least.

His betrayal of America means that unless our Military reveals THE STEAL, there will never be another (future) election.

When POTUS begins his second (consecutive) term, Pence will not be able to consider “resigning” … he will be tried for sedition.

Interestingly, there was never a memorial service for Phil Haney (to my knowledge).

Side note: I was half-watching (mostly listening) a video with my wife. Had a couple of guys on being interviewed. Can’t remember the subject matter or the title.

Anyway, one of the guys finished talking and the interview turned to the next guy. I heard a very familiar voice and cadence that I should not have been able to hear – my dear dead friend Phil Haney (that I NEVER believed was actually deceased). I blurted out, that’s Phil, and rushed to look at the screen. It was him!

Identified with a pseudonym but no doubt it was him (or the best deepfake possible).

Our reality is being transformed into The Truman Show.

If Phil felt that disappearing was the only way to protect his friends, I have no doubt he’d do it. Dying is one way of getting off the chessboard.

Building the Beast System: FDA wants GPS on crops – Spinach sends email – Cow registration mandatesThe FDA is considering requiring GPS coordinates of every crop harvested, and data on when it was planted/harvested/chilled/packed/shipped. Not only would this put small farms OUT of business, it effectively requires robotic automation. British Columbia has mandated livestock registration for your safety “in this age of dangerous pandemics.” The technocratic takeover of farming continues, and the stage is now set for the introduction of the

On a little side road cutoff from one arterial to another in Kitsap County WA, there’s a handmade sign on a fencepost that can be read by motorists:

“These cows belong to Farmer George. Any questions, call (phone number).”

Until this comment of yours, I had no idea what the sign’s purpose was. Now it seems to me to be a response to this ‘mandatory registration’ crap. Apparently, George considers the cows to be his property to do with as he chooses.

He must be an old dinosaur farmer who just needs to get with the program.

OLD NOTES ABOUT FOOD SAFETY BILL SENATOR BARR SPONSORED:

Notice it does not say a person SELLING food, it says a person holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients. 

HR 875 also includes this. 
“in any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction SHALL BE PRESUMED TO EXIST.” 

The fact you are growing veggies for you and friends and not selling them does not exclude you! 

The bill specifically states it covers commerce with in state but again there is no exclusion for food raised for home use. This is very scary.

September, 1995 when USDA’s Food Safety & Inspection Service presented a 600-page document Farm-To-Table – control of every step in the food chain from production to home preparation. LINK

This is a real life example of what to expect:

“….We currently have only 2 does in milk but share the pasteurized goat milk with family and friends. We have never sold raw or pasteurized milk or products in any form. I do teach children to milk, pasteurize, make cheeses, cajeta, ice cream, etc. I have also “given” milk to others to feed their goat kids, to make their own cheese etc. I even make cheese to share and give to friends and family and take to potlucks etc. (Gosh.. I must be a real criminal)

Today a state Ag inspector and two county officials show up and scare the bee-jesus out of me. First they accuse me of selling products and milk, then explain that even “giving milk products away” is illegal in California. Now everything is pasteurized, but it is illegal to share milk products in any form! They explained it was even ILLEGAL to give it to my own children if they did not live under my roof! I can’t even take a lasagna dish to my grown sons home without risk of being fined, arrested and or jailed! This is OUTRAGIOUS!!!!…..” Donna Tue Aug 12, 2008  

THIS IS A WARNING BY A LAWYER:
Trojan Horse Law: The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

A misguided bill, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, may shut down farmer’s markets and “drive out of business local farmers and artisanal, small-scale producers of berries, herbs, cheese, and countless other wares, even when there is in fact nothing unsafe in their methods of production,” warns legal commentator Walter Olson at Overlawyered.

 

Moreover, DeLauro’s own bill includes a broad jurisdictional provision that creates a presumption that home gardens do affect interstate commerce. Section 406 of the bill reads as follows: “PRESUMPTION. In any action to enforce the requirements of the food safety law, the connection with interstate commerce required for jurisdiction shall be presumed to exist.”

Lori Robertson of FactCheck.org, who is not a lawyer (she has a B.A. in advertising), claims the bill doesn’t apply to “that tomato plant in your backyard.” As a lawyer, I am skeptical of this claim (I co-represented the prevailing defendant in the last successful constitutional challenge to federal regulation under the interstate commerce clause, United States v. Morrison (2000), one of only two cases in 70 years in which a challenge was successful). Congress’s power under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause is almost unlimited in the eyes of the courts, and thus can reach the “tomato plant in your backyard.”

This so-called “food safety” bill may actually make food less safe. Federal regulation often backfires or reduces competition. A classic example is the 2007 child-safety law, the CPSIA, which was based on junk science. It shut down countless thrift stores and entire industries, resulting in children’s books being thrown out and pulled from library shelves by the thousands. It harmed poor people and special-needs kids. It rendered many ordinary bicycles illegal and made motorcycles more dangerous to children.

My wife, who immigrated from st=”on”France, already finds it difficult or impossible to obtain many of the food items she likes from her native country (like raw-milk cheeses). This law will make it even worse. As Olson notes, “Many informal makers of ethnically or culturally distinctive food items will go off-books or simply fall by the wayside, overwhelmed by the reporting and batch-tracking paperwork. Many foreign producers who ship in less-than-mass quantities will give up on the U.S. market rather than try to comply with challenging standards that differ drastically from those imposed by European markets or their own countries of origin, which in turn will mean that many interesting and safe specialty foods will simply no longer be available for purchase, at least legally.”

Ignorance about the law’s broad reach (and how it will be construed by the courts) has thwarted opposition to the bill, which will likely pass Congress. For example, a newspaper claims the bill “doesn’t regulate home gardens.” The newspaper probably assumed that was true because the bill, like most federal laws, only purports to reach activities that affect “interstate commerce.” To an uninformed layperson or journalist, that “sounds as if it might not reach local and mom-and-pop operators at all.” (The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, has sought to forestall opposition to her bill by falsely claiming that that “the Constitution’s commerce clause prevents the federal government from regulating commerce that doesn’t cross state lines.”)

But lawyers familiar with our capricious legal system know better. The Supreme Court ruled in Wickard v. Filburn (1942) that even home gardens (in that case, a farmer’s growing wheat for his own consumption) are subject to federal laws that regulate interstate commerce. Economists and scholars have criticized this decision, but it continues to be cited and followed in Supreme Court rulings, such as those applying federal anti-drug laws to consumption of even home-grown medical marijuana. Indeed, many court decisions allow Congress to define as “interstate commerce” even non-commercial conduct that doesn’t cross state lines — something directly at odds with Rep. DeLauro’s claims.

J&J CEO Says Annual Covid Vaccine Needed “For Years” As MSM Warns Virus Will “Circulate For Decades”

And yet despite this impressive improvement in the pandemic, some are hinting that covid may be here to stay for a long, long time. Take the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, Alex Gorsky, who told CNBC that people may need to get vaccinated annually for Covid-19, Gorsky told CNBC the virus can mutate as it spreads causing it to have different responses to therapeutics and vaccines.

So does that mean masks and social distancing forever? Perhaps:

Endemic Covid-19 doesn’t necessarily mean continuing coronavirus restrictions, infectious-disease experts said, largely because vaccines are so effective at preventing severe disease and slashing hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitalizations have already fallen 30% in Israel after it vaccinated a third of its population. Deaths there are expected to plummet in weeks ahead.

But some organizations are planning for a long-term future in which prevention methods such as masking, good ventilation and testing continue in some form. Meanwhile, a new and potentially lucrative Covid-19 industry is emerging quickly, as businesses invest in goods and services such as air-quality monitoring, filters, diagnostic kits and new treatments.

Excellent article!

Their constant reference to our Constitution is a joke; they have no reverence for our founding document, none at all.  Those seven treasonous faux Republicans voted with the pro-violence, anti-law-enforcement crowd.  President Trump, as everyone knows well, was and remains a fervent supporter of our police while the left was calling for their defunding if not their dissolution.  It is safe to say that the 75 – 80m Trump supporters now have as much contempt for those seven collaborators as they do for the Biden administration as it so diligently works to undo all the good Trump accomplished in four short years.  They are all of a piece with the left, one that is elitist at its core without a shred of concern for the American people.

She’s as lovely and refreshing as the hundreds of healthy heritage roses in the beautifully restored, well-drained White House Rose Garden.

All gardeners know the need to renew/revitalize/restore our gardens from time to time. The crabapples trees had gotten too large and their roots were choking the roses, and there was a drainage problem. Roses like lots of air and sunshine. So, the crabapple trees were moved to another location and hundreds of new roses were added to the garden, along with many other needed improvements.

Yeah, Gates, JUST what we need at the tail end of the Holocene!

The timing for the end of the Holocene interglacal was the Little Ice Age. Based on the end of the Younger Dryas, the Holocene is 11,700 years old. So the earth is 200 years past the end of the precession cycle of 23,000 years. And at the ripe old age of a Bond cycle. The sun has gone all quiet on us, GCR flux is noticeably up as a result.  Actually the Little Ice Age should have kicked the earth into glaciation by a GRAND Solar Maximum, the strongest in 3,000 years, saved us for a little while.
The coming Landscheidt minimum could be the beginning of a FULL BLOWN ICE AGE.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am firmly convinced that knowledge of the earth returning to Ice Age Conditions is what actually is driving the Depopulation idea since the physical evidence supporting the Milankovitch cycles was found in the early 1970s. DESPITE the cold, during the first UN environmental conference in 1972 headed by the Rockefeller’s man, Maurice Strong they talked of GLOBAL WARMING! Why? Because by 1958 they already knew about the The Gleissberg cycle of solar activity spanning roughly 80 to 90 years. Meaning a warming could be expected.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If you put together the threads you find in the early 1970s there was a major shift from the USA continuing as a manufacturing base to exporting out technology, factory and jobs. (SOUTH like to Mexico, India and China.) This may have been because of the food scare due to the cold climate. Nigel Calder a science reporter at that time wrote:

[…]No, we didn’t make it up. I was present in Rome in 1961 when global cooling was already the main concern at a conference of the World Meteorological Organization and Unesco (see the Unesco reference). The discussions were led by Hubert Lamb of the UK Met Office, who went on to found the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia.

A persistent concern of Lamb and others was that the world might return to a Little Ice Age like that of 300 years ago. But the improving knowledge of glacial history, and especially the apparent brevity of warm interglacials, prompted anxiety about a full-blown ice age. George Kukla, together with Robert Matthews of Brown University, convened a conference in 1972 entitled “The Present Interglacial: How and When will it End?”….

Kukla and Matthews alerted President Richard Nixon, and as a result the US Administration set up a Panel on the Present Interglacial involving the State Department and other agencies.….

The result was the 1974 CIA report:
“A Study of Climatological Research as it Pertains to Intelligence Problems” makes that clear. (wwwDOT)climatemonitor.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1974.pdf

How fast?? WITHIN DECADES!

….The onset of the LEAP [The glacial inception of the last glaciation] occurred within less than two decades (see the core photograph in Fig. 4), demonstrating the existence of a sharp threshold, which must be near 416Wm22, which is the 658N July insolation for 118 kyr BP (ref. 9). This value is only slightly below today’s value of 428Wm22. Insolation will remain at this level slightly above the inception for the next 4,000 years before it then increases again.” Sirocko, et al, Vol 436|11 August 2005|doi:10.1038/nature03905.

…..
…..

Here is a ‘brief?’ look at the data gathered that refuting ‘Gore Bull Schiff Warming’ aka the ‘Green House’ and showing we are on the brink of either the ‘Ice House’ or the ‘Mad House’ (Bumping along between to interglacial peaks of a  ‘double precession-cycle’ interglacial.Geologically the ‘Green House’ is NOT on the table.

“The lesson from the last interglacial “greenhouse” in the Bahamas is that the closing of that interval brought sea-level changes that were rapid and extreme. This has prompted the remark that between the greenhouse and the icehouse lies a climatic “madhouse”! — Neuman and Hearty (1996)

 Geologist William McClenney  looked at it from the perspective of geology in a series of posts at WUWT. His posts are gathered together HERE:
The End Holocene?

He used multiple papers from geologists such as this:
” The operative quotation being found in the landmark paper by Lisiecki and Raymo (“A Pliocene-Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic D18O records”, Paleoceanography, Vol. 20, PA1003, doi:10.1029/2004PA001071, 2005) being:”

Recent research has focused on MIS 11 as a possible analog for the present interglacial [e.g., Loutre and Berger, 2003; EPICA community members, 2004] because both occur during times of low eccentricity. The LR04 age model establishes that MIS 11 spans two precession cycles, with 18O values below 3.6 o/oo for 20 kyr, from 398{418 ka. In comparison, stages 9 and 5 remained below 3.6 o/oo for 13 and 12 kyr, respectively, and the Holocene interglacial has lasted 11 kyr so far. In the LR04 age model, the average LSR of 29 sites is the same from 398-418 ka as from 250-650 ka; consequently, stage 11 is unlikely to be artificially stretched. However, the June 21 insolation minimum at 65N during MIS 11 is only 489 W/m2, much less pronounced than the present minimum of 474 W/m2. In addition, current insolation values are not predicted to return to the high values of late MIS 11 for another 65 kyr. We propose that this effectively precludes a “double precession-cycle” interglacial [e.g., Raymo, 1997] in the Holocene without human influence.”

Note the Loutre and Berger model looked at orbital mechanics and model results (They played around with computers instead of getting off their butts.) While Lisieki and Raymo took an exhaustive look at 57 globally distributed deep Ocean Drilling Project (and other) cores In other words they looked at real data not models.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗰𝗵-𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟳
The theory was initially introduced to the world in a series of blog posts on Joanne’s blog in 2014:

From Jo’s blog:

 Climate Scientists Misapplied Basic Physics

The basic climate model, the application of “basic physics” to climate, is essentially why establishment climate scientists believe in the carbon dioxide theory, despite considerable contrary empirical evidence. Dating back to 1896, the model contains serious architectural errors. Fixing the errors finds a much lower sensitivity to carbon dioxide — the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) overestimated future warming by a factor of five to ten. Less than 20% of the global warming of the last few decades was due to carbon dioxide.

Notch-Delay Solar Theory Predicts Cooling from 2017

Global temperatures will come off the current plateau into a sustained and significant cooling, beginning 2017 or maybe as late as 2021. The cooling will be about 0.3 °C in the 2020s, taking the planet back to the global temperature that prevailed in the 1980s. This was signaled (though not caused) by a fall in underlying solar radiation starting in 2004, one of the three largest falls since 1610 when records started. There is a delay of one sunspot cycle, currently 13 years (2004+13 = 2017).

(For what it is worth, we have not seen the hot summers here in NC that we saw a decade ago. (Sustained 95F -100+F thru the summer.)

I am not sure I can trust much of what has been written unless they have kept records before the earth was formed – they seem to be able to explain away anything that is positive – and the fact that the climate is cyclical – however – if they poked holes in the protective layer atmosphere of the Earth – that could change their calculations – it could explain the effect of the sun – but, not the cold – this is way above my pay grade, Gail!!!

Gail Combs

“…unless they have kept records before the earth was formed…”

If you want some fun read:

A History of Solar Activity over Millennia

It is actually not that hard to read and what I really like about it is Usoskin uses not one but THREE independent sets of data to validate his findings.

The Website CO2 Science says this about the paper:
A 3,000-Year Record of Solar Activity

According to Usoskin et al. (2014), the Sun “shows strong variability in its magnetic activity, from Grand minima to Grand maxima, but the nature of the variability is not fully understood, mostly because of the insufficient length of the directly observed solar activity records and of uncertainties related to long-term reconstructions.”

 Now, however, in an attempt to overcome such uncertainties, Usoskin et al. “present the first fully adjustment-free physical reconstruction of solar activity” covering the past 3,000 years, which record allowed them “to study different modes of solar activity at an unprecedented level of detail.”

As a “unique” and “rare” event in terms of both magnitude and duration, one would think a lot more time and effort would be spent by the IPCC and others in answering that question.

 Instead, IPCC scientists have conducted relatively few studies of the Sun’s influence on modern warming, assuming that the temperature influence of this rare and unique Grand maximum of solar activity, which has occurred only once in the past 3,000 years, is far inferior to the radiative power provided by the rising CO2 concentration of the Earth’s atmosphere….

As far as the age of the earth? Scientists are fairly sure the earth took a MAJOR hit by asteroids — PLURAL that wiped out much of the life. (North Carolina among other places bares the scars)

As far as the age of the earth? Scientists are fairly sure the earth took a MAJOR hit by asteroids — PLURAL that wiped out much of the life. (North Carolina among other places bares the scars.

We’ve had many, many hits by asteroids over geologic history (and that’s leaving aside the Hadean eon and the late heavy bombardment, which are way early in Earth’s history). Which specific event(s) are you alluding to here? If the scars are still visible in NC it must be relatively recent (as in the last couple of hundred million years or so).

There are various theories about them. WIKI lists them

….Alternative interpretations of Carolina bays that are no longer viewed favorably by most geologists include:

  1. the action of sea currents when the area was under the ocean;
  2. the upwelling of ground water at a later time;
  3. the formation of siliciclastic karst by solution of subsurface material during glacial sealevel lowstands;
  4. extraterrestrial impact hypotheses: Comet or meteorite impact hypotheses were popular during the 1940s and 1950s. However, geologists later determined the depressions are too shallow and that they lack evidence for them to be impact features. Reports of magnetic anomalies do not show consistency across the sites, and there are no meteorite fragments, shatter cones, or planar deformation features. None of the necessary evidence for impacts is present, and comet or meteorite impact hypotheses have been rejected.[35] Nevertheless, an extraterrestrial impact origin of Carolina bays was proposed again in association with the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis[36] and the theory that the Carolina bays were created by a low density comet exploding above or impacting on the Laurentide Ice Sheet about 12,900 years ago. However, this theory has been discredited by OSL dating of the rims of the Carolina bays, paleoenvironmental records obtained from cores of Carolina bay sediments, and other research related to the Laurentide Ice Sheet.[16][12][27][37][38][39] Fine-scale scrutiny of radiocarbon data does not support synchroneity of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.[40] Another recent theory proposes an origin of the Carolina bays, instead, from a different impact event posited to have occurred in Michigan >700,000 years ago. According to this theory, the Carolina bays “are surface imperfections within a blanket of ballistically deposited shattered sedimentary strata (sand), generated at time of emplacement by the energetic deflation of steam inclusions.”[41] According to this theory, the Carolina bays are interpreted as having been caused by ejecta caused by an extraterrestrial impact, and rotation of the Earth during time of ejecta flight would have systematically displaced orientations, consistent with an impact event centered in Michigan.[41]

My quick impression is karst. Gotta run, I’ll look more closely soon.

Gail Combs

Not limestone Karst (Typical caver thoughts)

This is what WIKI says is the current thoughts on origin. (My geology classes were fifty years ago.)

….Interpretations (theories of origin)

More than a dozen bays are shown in this photo in southeastern North Carolina. Several are cleared and drained for farming.

Most geologists today interpret the Carolina bays as relict geomorphological features that developed via various eolian and lacustrine processes. Furthermore, multiple lines of evidence, e.g. radiocarbon datingoptically stimulated luminescence dating, and palynology, indicate that the Carolina bays predate the start of the Holocene. Fossil pollen recovered from cores of undisturbed sediment taken from various Carolina bays in North Carolina by Frey,[21][22] Watts,[23] and Whitehead[24][25] document the presence of full glacial pollen zones within the sediments filling some Carolina bays. The range of dates can be interpreted that Carolina bays were either created episodically over the last tens of thousands of years or were created at time over a hundred thousand years ago and have since been episodically modified.[16][12][27]

Relict thermokarst lakes

Recent work by the U.S. Geological Survey[10] has interpreted the Carolina bays as relict thermokarst lakes that have been modified by eolian and lacustrine processes. Modern thermokarst lakes are common today around Barrow (Alaska), and the long axes of these lakes are oblique to the prevailing wind direction. These lakes develop by thawing of frozen ground, with subsequent modification by wind and waves. Thus, the interpretation of Carolina bays as relict thermokarst lakes implies that frozen ground once extended as far south as the Carolina bays. This interpretation is consistent with the optically stimulated luminescence dates, which suggest that the Carolina bays are relict features that formed when the climate was colder, drier, and windier.[10][18][28]

Quaternary geologists and geomorphologists state that the features of the Carolina bays can be readily explained by known terrestrial processes and repeated modification by eolian and lacustrine processes.[33] Also, Quaternary geologists and geomorphologists have found a correspondence in time between when active modification of the rims of Carolina bays most commonly occurred and when adjacent sand dunes were active during the Wisconsin glaciation between 15,000 and 40,000 years (Late Wisconsin) and 70,000 to 80,000 years BP (Early Wisconsin).[18][28]

In addition, Quaternary geologists and geomorphologists have found that the orientations of the Carolina bays are consistent with the wind patterns that existed during the Wisconsin glaciation, as reconstructed from the orientations of parabolic dunes in river valleys.[9][10] Within the Atlantic Coast Plain, the orientation of the long axes of Carolina bays and the inferred direction of movement of adjacent sand dunes, where present, are generally oblique to each other. In southern Georgia and northern Florida, the orientation is matched by an inferred west to east direction of movement of Pleistocene sand dunes.

[34] 

Northward from northern Georgia to Virginia, the average inferred direction of movement of Pleistocene parabolic sand dunes systematically shifts along with the average orientation of the long axes of Carolina bays as to lie oblique to them. In the Delmarva Peninsula, the 112 degree shift in the average trend of the long axes also corresponds with a shift in the average inferred direction of movement of Pleistocene parabolic sand dunes such that their direction of movement is also oblique to the long axes, as is the case in the rest of the Atlantic Coastal Plain….[9]

Eolian processes pertain to the activity of the winds and  lacustrine processes pertain to the activity of lakes.

Here s a alternate theory from 2012.

(a bit later) It just looks wrong to be a spray of impacts, honestly, but that’s my intuition speaking. The article says there are good solid reasons for doubting it, though.

Secondary impact (from ejecta splatter) makes a lot more sense and that’s what Wiki seems to be saying.

Thanks, Gail!!! Interesting…

We have tree ring records going back 11,000 years in some places.

Tree rings often can be used to date an event to an exact year, and they are used to calibrate carbon 14 dating. And of course they are also a built-in record of the climate.

duchess01

How do they measure that, Steve? That number seems large to me – no expert – am I

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

By counting them! One ring per year.

The pattern of thick rings and thin rings is distinctive, so if you have (say) an 800 year old tree today, and it gets cut down, and you have some piece of wood from an old tree that was cut down 600 years ago, you can match them up and figure out how long ago that old medieval tree was a sapling, maybe 1200 years ago. And so on.

When this is done with bristlecone pines you get pretty far back because some of those living today are 5000 years old.

Oh, I see and understand – Thanks!!!

Thanks for posting, Church! Finally, the good Judge has recovered her moxie!!!

Fox is probably controlling her agenda.

I don’t hold her responsible.

The same is probably happening to Tucker. Therefore, I wouldn’t criticise him at all. He’s doing what he has to do to put his children through university and keep a stable — and SAFE — home life. He’s already been hounded out of one home, with his wife home alone.

Think of Lou Dobbs. He put his head on the line, probably unknowingly. Now he’s been cancelled.

Those of us at home can talk a big game, but, when push comes to shove, I would not want to be in their shoes at all.

May God bless all of these people. They have gone through the trenches to bring us the truth.

duchess01

Sounds plausible to me, Church – I like the Judge until something happened and she went silent – she may not have had a choice to keep her job – I used to like Tucker until some things went awry – but he could have been told to pipe it down a bit, too – as far as Lou is concerned – he has gotten awfully bold since the election – thought it was just a matter of time before they shut him down – you may be right – they went as far a they could to open eyes and ears.

churchmouse

They are between a rock and a hard place, no doubt.

duchess01

It appears that way, yes, Church! I long for the day when one can speak the truth – and not be chastised for it – the day when investigative journalism returns to our airwaves for all to enjoy – the day when the media is not controlled by one party and/or view – where both sides are provided – and we can make the choice – not them.

maybe the narcissistic faux doctor should pryher adult child away from his video games and give his fema maroons some directions regarding this storm?

Gail Combs

Rotating Power Outages is WHY they are forcing Smart Meters down our throats.

BIG DemonRat donor gets to keep his power on while his non-donating neighbors get theirs shot off. THINK SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE.

From my old notes:

Just wait until Bite-me/Obummer’s EPA is done shutting down all the coal plants and forbids wood stoves. Ohio was the state hardest hit with shut downs and with the highest cost for replacement electric.

…The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity — almost all natural gas — was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt.

In the mid-Atlantic area covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is $167 per megawatt. For the northern Ohio territory served by FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt.

Why the massive price increases? Andy Ott from PJM stated the obvious: “Capacity prices were higher than last year’s because of retirements of existing coal-fired generation resulting largely from environmental regulations which go into effect in 2015.” Northern Ohio is suffering from more forced coal-plant retirements than the rest of the region, hence the even higher price.

(wwwDOT)hyscience.com/archives/2012/05/as_obama_promis.php

Map of shutdowns and explanations.

Old Comment:
Given the information in that article with the map, if I were a power systems engineer, I think I would be calling in sick for the next couple years or taking a sabbatical or looking for another job some time before the Nov 2016 elections. Once the ‘renewables’ get over a certain low percentage, the grid becomes increasingly hard to balance. LINK Unfortunately the base load that keeps everything stable is getting taken out a lot faster than the US government anticipated.

The “Smart Meters” that were supposed to make renewables work aren’t ready for prime time yet and forget storage.
“The Energy Department is investing in strategic partnerships to accelerate investments in grid modernization….” The smart grid lets them turn off consumer energy while they keep the government and corporate power on. That is going to go over real well with the spoiled brats in the cities. (Now you know why DHS was buying Ammo.)

It looks like the EPA got the timing wrong and instead of the shut downs (and the blame) landing on the next president it is going to hit Obummer and the Demi-rats on election year. (Snicker) In 2011 coal generated 44.6 percent of our electric it was down to 36 percent by 2012 with a lot more closures planned. Nuclear energy generates 19 percent, if all 38 units at risk are retired, about one-third of our nuclear fleet will also be shut down. Hydro-electric is also targeted with dams being taken out. So there goes the baseload and you can not just build a power plant in a year or so. Not with the NIMBYs and activists protesting anything and everything and Sierra Club suing at the drop of a hat.

EXAMPLE OF SMART METER IMPLEMENTATION:

Michigan

Regulatory:

….In January 2007, the Michigan Public Service Commission presented to the Governor its “21st Century Energy Plan,” which recommends demand response and AMI. The Commission then created four working groups to support the plan—two of the groups will consider demand response and the smart grid through, respectively, the “Demand Response Team” and the “Smart Grid Team.”

• In June 2007, the Commission opened a proceeding to implement the demand response portion of the “21st Century Energy Plan.” In the same Order, the Commission also formed a working group called the Michigan Demand Response Collaborative, which is to facilitate the deployment of demand response. The Commission directed all of the state’s regulated utilities to participate in it. The demand response collaborative is to develop pilot programs and “emphasize the use of ‘smart’ metering, advanced technology, and time-based or real time rate structures.” It must also assess the impact of time-based rates on customer demand for electricity.

• In April 2007 the Commission directed its Staff to convene a statewide collaborative on smart grid infrastructure to improve the state’s electric grid. The Smart Grid Collaborative, as the group is known, is responsible for establishing evaluation criteria and standards that would trigger pilot programs or broader deployment in Michigan if options appear cost-effective and practical to implement. In March 2008, the Commission added the task of considering plug-in electric hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) vis-à-vis the smart grid to the workload of the Smart Grid Collaborative. In particular, the Smart Grid Collaborative is to develop pilot programs that study PHEVs and will file with the Commission a report about the pilots—the report is due in June 2009. ….

….the Commission directed its Staff to develop a report on AMI. The Staff filed its report in October 2008, concluding, “Advanced metering infrastructure initiatives are an important tool to modernize the electricity grid, reduce peak demand and reach energy efficiency goals.” In the report—“Staff Report on Minimum Functionality Standards for Advanced Metering Infrastructure”—the Staff reviewed federal and state AMI policies. It also summarized and synthesized the comments filed in August 2008.

Legislative:

• In October 2008, Governor Granholm signed a bill that fosters the deployment of demand response (Senate Bill 213). Key language from the new law follows:

“The commission shall do all of the following:

“Promote load management in appropriate circumstances. “Actively pursue increasing public awareness of load management techniques. “Engage in regional load management efforts to reduce the annual demand for energy whenever possible.

“Work with residential, commercial, and industrial customers to reduce annual demand and conserve energy through load management techniques and other activities it considers appropriate. The commission shall file a report with the legislature by December 31, 2010 on the effort to reduce peak demand. …. LINK

Thanks, PR.

I’m not on Telegram, so I needed to preview it.

For those like me, this is what Patrick Byrne’s first message says in Preview mode:

‘About a week ago I published some preliminary numbers regarding vote slipping, prepared by some very deep diving dolphin-speakers. They had only located, analyzed, And reconstructed about 18 of them at the time. They had found just short of 300,000 votes flipped. Now they have worked further through the data, and they have locked down what 85 case, for over 2 million votes. They are most of the way but not yet completely all the way through the data, so this may increase a little more.’

The second message I can’t reproduce, because it’s in two columns, but it is visible in Preview mode.

One column adds up the suspect votes from six states — PA, WI, MI, AZ, GA and NV — which amount to 2,126,142.

The other column has a vote total from various foreign countries — from China (most votes, 739,932) around the world including all continents to South Korea — with a total of 2,126,142.

Apparently, Joltin’ Joe’s votes had to be added to in 21 countries, including Germany, the UK and France, in order to win?

phoenixrising

Word is The Vatican is the culprit, used the satellites for encrypting and scattering thru various countries… (my dementia is making word salad of this part)… the blame is being put on “Italy” but it was in fact The Vatican… De Pat expounded on it with regard to corruption… revelation would probably bring the Italian gov’t down… which is why I think it has not already been revealed…

I joined Telegram but have yet to figure out how to copy posts… beginning to think it’s complicated to prevent some info from being spread too liberally…

I haven’t read about the Italian connection for at least a month.

Re Telegram, just run your cursor along the text and copy/paste.

Yes, they are making it more complicated for us to communicate, so we have to push that much further.

Some thoughts re DJT.

Many have noted that DJT appears to be the first POTUS to be as vital now as when he was sworn in. No visible aging can be discerned. I believe that a good part of this can be ascribed to you – his Deplorables. The love affair between Donald Trump and his Deplorable Patriots must surely be one for the record books. Not only does this love sustain him – it protects him. And it confounds your enemies. They simply cannot comprehend this kind of love – it is beyond their ken. Your love for him does more than that – not only does it shield him – it embraces you as well in its protective shield. If this farce of an impeachment showed anything – it is that. Many of the 43 R senators simply did not dare to vote against him/you. YOU are DJT’s power source, specifically the tangible love that is on display every time he is in your midst. Of course, you know this – but it bears repeating – mainly because unfriendly eyes need to ponder this question deeply.

Ah, the power of love!

Secondly. Jesus stated a requirement that loving your neighbor included loving your enemy. Then he proceeded to state that he would be setting sons against fathers, daughter against mothers – he would be setting family members against each other. “And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household” (Matt 10 36). Well, who better to learn how to love under God than your parents, brothers and sisters? Baby steps – Jesus’ plan on how to unify the world under His Leadership. Vanquish the foes sitting around your own hearth with the power of love, move on to your neighbors – soon America will be healed. Sound like just that much “pap”? Good to the ear, not much use in practice?

Well “the plan” will lay out a path to this end, but back to DJT.

Who is currently rendering families asunder with the sword of division, not just America, but the world over? Seen in this light, it is hard not to conclude that DJT is doing the Lord’s work.

Look at his statement again. He loves America, and thus her citizens. He was unwilling to break America apart in order to “save” it (that would have killed America) – he thus had to come up with a new plan. It turns out America was sicker than most of us imagined – and I believe that DJT came to realize this as well.

So, just some thoughts ….

Welcome to the rest of the world! If America can turn into a banana republic, seemingly in the blink of an eye, then so can everyone else.

Of course, most of the “everyone else” are already banana republics. Australia is striving to become one as well, and many would say, not unreasonably, that we already are.

I said, “seemingly in the blink of an eye”, but of course it only seems that way. Looking back with opened eyes makes it far easier to understand when it started, and why.
And it really started with that event in the Garden …

churchmouse

Too right, Jason. It did begin in that Garden, when the world’s most famous couple thought they would be able to know everything by eating the forbidden fruit.

The good Lord brought them out of that realisation quickly.

I have read about the restrictions in Victoria State — Melbourne, mostly — and grieve for the people there. I hope you are not among them.

JasonD

No, thankfully. We are in Tasmania, with a huge moat between us an the mainland.

I do have a daughter in London, with 4 months to go with her training program at the English National Ballet School, so our family is not unaffected by the chaos.
But she is an extremely tough and determined young lady and has handled the situation admirably. As her father I am intrigued how her career will unfold in these “covidious” times – but I am not concerned. Doors seem to keep opening at the right times, so I trust that that will continue.
How has your experience with BoJo’s lockdown mania gone?

churchmouse

Glad to read that you are in Tas. Thank goodness. (You probably mentioned it previously and I’d forgotten.)

We are okay but a bit frustrated. It’s been 11 months since we’ve been able to shop at the butcher’s and fishmonger’s (limited entry and only one person per household). We’ve been ordering certain meat and fish online, so it’s been acceptable. I do the weekly shop in the high street for basics.

What my far better half and I miss most are our afternoon-long lunches in London with friends. Going without them and the associated conviviality has been really difficult.

As we are ageing, we also feel that we’ve missed out on a year of our lives that we’ll never get back.

I can empathise equally with young people, especially those who are finishing their secondary education or are at university and are excluded from in-person courses and cannot recoup their fees for lodging.

Kudos to your daughter for her determination at this time, especially as she is so close to finishing her training programme at the English National Ballet School. May the doors continue to open for her at all the right times!

Regardless of what the media say, half of us are entirely fed up with this and the other half say we need more lockdown.

Thank you for asking about the state of play in Britain. I shall keep you and your daughter in my thoughts.

JasonD

Thanks for those details. All but imprisoning people has really come naturally to a lot of our ‘betters”, all around the world.
Tin-pot tyrants seem to be a dime a dozen these days. I am sure this is emboldening them to apply these measures for “our own good” for all sorts of other reasons as well.
I know a lot of them are salivating at the thought of locking us all up in the name of “saving the planet” – so keep a weather eye out. It won’t surprise me if Boris puts his hand up for that.

churchmouse

Indeed, especially as his fiancée and mother of his latest son is a greenie.

The worst offender, though, is our health secretary Matt Hancock. Oh, woe. He needs to go.

singingsoul1

Yes it is conceivable to realize what is going on. The one thing i can say is many wars have hidden many sins by evil people who are greedy and power hungry. We did not see it they were cunning. People who have been for ever in DC carry much the blame. They were there the last 40 years and feathered their pockets and nest. They were bought off.
I see problems that led to this .
No prayer in school, soccer Sunday morning at exspence of Church, no draft, broken homes broken families and endless wars.
Now we have a banana republic and are embarrassment. To the free world a laughing stock. We lost credibility. Carter, Bush, Clinton, Obama set the decline.
Companies used to be run by entrepreneurs who had pride in America. Now corporations are run by bean counters and lawyers it is all about the bottom line for stockholders. They have no royalty to a country.

Wait.
Isn’t this the same “President” RobberJoe who spent the weekend at Camp David, alternating between playing Mario video games with his granddaughter, and sleeping, according to The Gateway Pundit article cited earlier today?
So obviously this “statement” on more evisceration of the Second Amendment was written for RobberJoe by Pelosi’s team and put out under his name.
And by the way, the “statement” clumsily tries to equate “gun violence” with racism — claiming that “gun violence” is “disproportionate” among “Black and Brown communities”.

Dave was talking about digital currency in yesterday’s video too, and I was going to post about it then, but I couldn’t find the tweets by DJT.

Just a couple days ago, someone (either here or at NeonRevolt, I think) posted a series of Tweets by DJT, where he said he does not like crypto, that it has no intrinsic value, that it’s based on nothing.

Others pointed out that the exact same thing can be said about our fiat currency, of course.

But it seemed pretty clear DJT is not a fan of crypto currencies.

So when Dave started talking about how crypto was going to be a big or even central part of DJT’s plan, that’s a pretty big contradiction of DJT’s own words.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Intrinsic value isn’t actually as important as not being able to inflate the currency at will, a protection that crypto does offer.

The best definition I ever heard for money was something that people would accept as payment, confident that they could then pass it on to someone else who would accept it as payment. Trustworthy and non-inflatable is part of that definition…PMs (precious metals) not necessarily; something else with those attributes will work just as well. The trick is getting it to be acceptable. Our dollar is accepted (even if it does inflate), getting people to switch to something else would be work. Enough work that the easier thing to do is to take our current dollar and, behind the scenes, tie it to something non-inflatable.

The idea of “money” was able to be established because of it having intrinsic value, and precious metals can’t readily be inflated (though it has happened under unusual circumstances). But anything people are willing to accept would work, as long as it was stable and not subject to games. PMs still fit that bill but they aren’t the only things that do.

“Intrinsic value isn’t actually as important as not being able to inflate the currency at will, a protection that crypto does offer.”

___________

I understand that is one of the arguments, but it’s like saying a plastic red checker from a 1970s checkerboard set is uninflatable, there were only so many made, and they can’t be counterfeited because the machines used to make them are long gone, and the chemicals used in the process which resulted in the characteristic color and texture of the original 1970s checkers have been outlawed by environmental regulations.

It still has no intrinsic value, whether it can be inflated or not. Whatever value it has, it only has because a large enough group of people decided to believe it.

The same thing could be said about gold, except there seems to be an almost genetic attachment between human beings and gold, which human beings do not have for red plastic checkers — not even the really good ones from the 1970s. 😁

Everybody (more or less) likes the shiny yellow metal. Girls especially like it, which means boys are motivated to have it formed into necklaces and earrings and rings to give as gifts to their girls. 👍

Bankers (and banksters) like it a lot, and I don’t know exactly what it is that they know about this shiny yellow metal, but I know they know things… 😂 🤣 😂

“The best definition I ever heard for money was something that people would accept as payment, confident that they could then pass it on to someone else who would accept it as payment. Trustworthy and non-inflatable is part of that definition…PMs (precious metals) not necessarily; something else with those attributes will work just as well.”

_________

You said it, it’s a confidence game.

It only works so long as people have confidence in it, and people only have confidence in something as long as people believe in it.

Precious metals are… precious. There’s a clue in there somewhere… 😁

They’re pretty, perky, shiny things, and homo sapiens love pretty, perky, shiny things. Always have, always will.

I don’t pretend to know exactly why, but then I don’t pretend to know why girls can only go to the bathroom in pairs, I can only speculate… 😂 🤣 😂

Cryptos are 100% intangible. It is the very pinnacle of abstract. You can’t see it, taste it, smell it, feel it or hear it. It has the same physical presence as a ghost.

Now the monkeys who are the presumptive target of this confidence game have IQs ranging all over the map, but I suspect less than 10% of the monkeys have actually read the white papers on Bitcoin and have a reasonably complete understand of the concept, much less truly understand cryptos in general or any of the other many cryptos in particular.

It’s exciting when it explodes in value, until it goes the other direction. It’s hard to argue something is a store of value (which gold inarguably is) when it’s value fluctuates between $4K and $50K in a single 52-week period…

For the average monkey, in addition to the casino excitement, crypto is just there when they need it. Until it isn’t.

But are cryptos really trustworthy?

As is often said among precious metals investors, differentiating between ETFs (whose underlying metals inventory is extremely dubious) and physical precious metals, “if you don’t hold it, you don’t own it!” 😁

In a world that reveals itself more and more each day as being little more than deception decorated by illusions, holding a significant amount of one’s net worth in GhostCoin seems like a dicey proposition at best.

It doesn’t matter what I think about it of course, it only matters if a large enough percentage of the population are willing to go along with the confidence scheme.

A large enough percentage of the population has always gone along with the gold confidence scheme, and to the best of my knowledge, unlike just about everything else, in the entire history of mankind, the value of gold has never been zero.

Conversely, crypto is only what, about 13 years old?

I have socks older than that 👍 😁

___________

Cryptos appear to be a lot of things, but ‘stable‘ isn’t one of the words that comes to mind 😁

I still think people with trust issues are going to have a hard time sleeping at night with a substantial investment in crypto.

Trust issues always develop out of negative experiences.

And sooner or later, even people who love crypto are going to develop trust issues with crypto.

Because everything is subject to games.

For example, if silver wasn’t subject to games, it would cost about $115 per ounce right now, relative to the price of gold.

And if gold wasn’t subject to games, it might cost at least $5K an ounce right now, with silver at 1/16th of that ($312 per ounce). Lots of games are being played to suppress the precious metals market.

It is a fun topic to discuss. 👍

pgroup2

Not fun for me. I hate what they’re doing to silver, almost as much as I hate commies.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

“For example, if silver wasn’t subject to games, it would cost about $115 per ounce right now, relative to the price of gold.”

Are you making the assumption that its natural ratio is 16:1 or something similar?

That hasn’t been the case for well over a century and a half.

On the other hand, I hear claims from time to time that GOLD is being kept artificially low.

scott467

“Are you making the assumption that its natural ratio is 16:1 or something similar?”

____________

Yes, but based on more recent information, apparently there are 8 ounces of silver mined for every one once of gold, so the ratio really ought to be 8 to 1.

And certainly it appears that gold is extremely suppressed by the Central Banks and the commercial banks like JP Morgan who, based on recently watched video interviews of industry insiders, are regularly fined for breaking all kinds of laws against manipulation of precious metals prices.

I think DJT was talking about ‘crypto’ controlled by a bank or financial institution – because that would negate the purpose of crypto – that of being free from interest and control by a financial institution.

We live in a digital financial world – and just as with all things Internet – there is good and evil associated with it.

I have no idea what DJT thinks about anything anymore – we have to interpret his ‘clues’ all along the way – however – it could be DJT objects to anything not backed by an asset – such as precious metals – or something that has value – the banks have printed ‘promissory notes’ with interest attached – that is not ‘real money’ by any stretch of the imagination.

Dave is a big fan of crypto currency – I have my doubts because anything ‘internet’ can be intercepted and corrupted – imho

I think God owns everything – all that we have is a gift – a gift we must manage responsibly – IOW – it is His money – not mine – so I hope and pray He will sort this all out for us – and that we are not longer slaves to a corrupt financial system that serves the rich and robs from the poor.

So I listened to the podcast linked above. If I heard correctly, there are some troubling questions that come to mind:
In order for American citizens to “wake up” to the evil of the DeepState / Cabal, RobberJoe was allowed to become the actual 46th President? RobberJoe isn’t some kind of “breathing” cardboard cutout?
I get it that the DeepState / Cabal will have pain inflicted on it. But what about the pain that’s being inflicted right now on millions of American citizens? —- Keystone Pipeline workers off the job, insulin prices through the roof again, etc.
About “making arrests” — arrested by whom?
The speaker mentions “ongoing investigations by Durham”; he’s working in the “shadows”. Wasn’t Durham exposed as just another version of William Barr?
And the 25th Amendment — assuming, for argument’s sake, that RobberJoe is “removed” via the 25th Amendment. Wouldn’t KamaHarr then assume the Oval Office as “Acting President”? Setting aside arguments as to whether she’s even eligible to be Vice-President, let alone “Acting President’: she’s more dangerous, if that’s possible, than RobberJoe, because she’s both ignorant and arrogant; therefore she would be extremely “malleable” by “certain people”.
Need some help here to understand. Thanks.

Trump is between a rock and a hard place.

At present and actually for the last century there has been a war waged against the USA. At this point the ‘Trojan Horse’ has almost won and is interwind throughout US society.

Joe McCartry tried the Direct assault method in the 1950s and WAS DEFEATED. So another method, a method that WAKES UP the Americans who THINK they ‘LOVE’ socialism/Communism is needed and I think that is what we are seeing.

Will people be hurt? Yes Sometimes nothing works but pain and shock.

Will people be killed? I hope not but I think so.

….

PLEASE REMEMBER THE ALTERNATIVE!

Obama’s Mentor Bill Ayers talked of KILLING 10% of the US population. (25 million when the total population was 250 million. LINK )

“….When he [Josef Stalin] became Comrade Number One, his main goal was to consolidate power. Of course, he used Marxism-Leninism to explain this move. Tom West described Stalin’s outlook:

Only one man, the wisest and strongest of all, can be entrusted with the task of building socialism. And this man must not flinch from inflicting mass killings, deliberate famines, and torture involving the suffering and deaths of many millions of people. The Wise Man must employ whatever means he deems necessary to root out the millions of enemies of the people so that he can lead men to perpetual peace, happiness, and total communization.

From the book Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness and Destroyed America by Kent Clizbe

It would be bad enough if this one Sociopath was just a one-off but he wasn’t. Socialism in its different flavors lead to 20th century DEMOCIDE: DEATH BY GOVERNMENT

Dr. R.J. Rummel tabulated the 169,202,000 Murdered by their own government, many under some flavor of “Socialism”

…Just to give perspective on this incredible murder by government, if all these bodies were laid head to toe, with the average height being 5′, then they would circle the earth ten times. Also, this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in all the foreign and internal wars of the century….

After eight-years and almost daily reading and recording of men, women, and children by the tens of millions being tortured or beaten to death, hung, shot, and buried alive, burned or starved to death, stabbed or chopped into pieces, and murdered in all the other ways creative and imaginative human beings can devise, I have never been so happy to conclude a project. I have not found it easy to read time and time again about the horrors innocent people have been forced to suffer. What has kept me at this was the belief, as preliminary research seemed to suggest, that there was a positive solution to all this killing and a clear course of political action and policy to end it. And the results verify this. The problem is Power. The solution is democracy. The course of action is to foster freedom….

 🖕  THAT is what we are very, very close to right now. The ONLY THING stopping it is the 2nd Amendment which is now under attack.

duchess01

Agree with much of what you have presented here, Gail.

Unfortunately, a good many of those alive today have not been taught history because our Education System has been highjacked by leftist ideology.

Those who have escaped Socialism – and many in this country have – understand what the left is drawing unsuspecting minds toward accepting.

Trump is where he needs to be right now – some people will never understand until it hits their pocketbooks directly – while others need to be smacked good and hard to see what is truly happening.

The Constitution was on trial in this latest effort to punish Trump for rocking their boat and preventing them from capitalizing on their deception.

Freedom of speech – Due Process – and Freedom of Assembly were on trial – it was obvious the House Managers were not only trying to trash Trump – but, they were also trying to delineate the Constitution and our freedom.

As if the first Sham Impeachment was not enough – they rushed to judgement more quickly this time – skipping over the process in the House – and stepping on the Constitution in the Senate – their hatred for America was front and center.

Many are awake and have been awake for some time – while others are so brainwashed and filled with hatred nothing would change their minds.

It had to be this way – because the enemies of America are many – a few were on display this week – the betrayal of seven means nothing – look at the anger of one prior Senate Majority Leader – and the hatred of the present Majority Leader – the temper tantrum of the House Speaker – and the violence perpetrated upon the defender of the President and the Constitution.

The House is filled with radicals who hate America and the Senate has been turned over to those who would change America to the point of no return.

President Trump has had a chance to work within the confines of the Swamp and now – he has the opportunity to observe the Swamp in all of its glory from afar – do you think the military is protecting the criminals surrounded by the fencing or keeping the criminals where they can no longer harm anyone? I believe DC is occupied by a foreign entity – and the reason these people are so filled with hatred for America is because they are being paid by that foreign entity to undermine our Constitutional Republic – Trump still stands in the way.

I also believe the truth will be flowing like a river that has overrun its banks. There are many good developments that can and will take place in the coming months – to which President Trump has eluded in his speech – he is not finished – and I do not believe for one moment there is a legitimate government in operation in DC. President Trump has also said ‘the best is yet to come’. How can that be with an illegitimate government?

God is in charge – not the Democrats or the Republicans – and I do not believe President Trump would leave us high and dry – when God begins a good work in you – He will finish it!!!

“Joe McCartry tried the Direct assault method in the 1950s and WAS DEFEATED.”

____________

Joe McCarthy didn’t have the entire United States military on the speed-dialer.

DJT did.

.

“So another method, a method that WAKES UP the Americans who THINK they ‘LOVE’ socialism/Communism is needed and I think that is what we are seeing.”

____________

That’s great, lovely, I’m all for it, wake up as many as possible, but NOT at the expense of losing the Republic and by extension, the entire planet.

That’s not a plan, it’s a planetary suicide.

.

“Will people be hurt? Yes Sometimes nothing works but pain and shock.”

___________

Then let the pain and shock, for ONCE, be to the people who have shoved their own heads so far up their asses that they wouldn’t see unless you crammed the truth down their throat.

Let THEM suffer for a change, instead of the people who KEPT the faith, KEPT the law, and who have CRIED OUT for DECADES for someone in a POSITION to take action would DO SO.

STOP punishing the INNOCENT while the GUILTY are REWARDED.

Stop punishing patriots while the Lotus-eaters go FREE.

……………..
In Greek mythology, the lotus-eaters (Greek: λωτοφάγοι, translit. lōtophágoi) were a race of people living on an island dominated by the lotus tree, a plant whose botanical identity (if based on a real plant at all) is uncertain.

The lotus fruits and flowers were the primary food of the island and were a narcotic, causing the inhabitants to sleep in peaceful apathy. After they ate the lotus they would forget their home and loved ones, and only long to stay with their fellow lotus-eaters. Those who ate the plant never cared to report, nor return.

Figuratively, ‘lotus-eater’ denotes “a person who spends their time indulging in pleasure and luxury rather than dealing with practical concerns”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus-eaters
……………..

.

“Will people be killed? I hope not but I think so.”

______________

President Trump, speaking about Iran: “They’re allowed to kill our people. They’re allowed to torture and maim our people. They’re allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we’re not allowed to touch their cultural sites. It doesn’t work that way.”

The unelected psychopaths who have taken over OUR ‘cultural sites’ are killing our people, they are allowed to maim and torture US, they are allowed to use false flags and shoot 500+ people in Las Vegas, and bombings, and fly planes into the World Trade Center, and we’re not allowed to touch them?

It doesn’t work that way.

MAKE IT STOP.

If anyone wants to “open the eyes” of the terminally stupid, you can do that AFTER the Republic is restored, just like we marched Germans through the death camps to open THEIR eyes.

We didn’t WAIT until all the Germans and the Japanese “awakened” to their atrocities.

We ended the war FOR THEM, and THEN we ‘opened their eyes’.

Because if we HADN’T, if we had waited for them to awaken first, we would STILL be fighting WWII to this DAY.

.

To say that we have to keep losing until “enough” people are awakened is as nebulous and open-ended as Bush’s “war on terror”.

And it will last just as long, if not longer, if we don’t &^%$ing hold SOMEBODY accountable.

And I don’t really care WHO, because at this point, it’s a TOSS UP as to who is abusing us MORE.

*&^%ing military stands by and does NOTHING.

NOTHING!

pgroup2

And what about the illegal aliens crossing the border and being released in the USA?

Did DJT really think that was going to be collateral damage?

Sick.

Exclusive Transcript: An Hour-Long Interview with Gen. Flynn.

“Sidney works for the American people. Her client is the American people. And I am using every resource that I have — technical, strategic, legal — and my own network of people that I know to help us out to really discover the truth. If the truth is that we find that there was no problems, there was no election fraud, as everybody believes there is or there was, then fine. Then we’ll move on. But as we all know and seen throughout the last almost three months now, we’ve seen incredible levels of election fraud, both foreign interference and homegrown, what I call homegrown, through this mail-in ballot nonsense and a lot of unconstitutional actions by various states. So at the end of the day, we, the people and through the good offices of Sidney Powell and her team, her small team, we will continue to fight this legal battle to discover the truth.” – Gen. Michael Flynnhttps://gab.com/emoji/1f53b.svg

CALL THEM OUT – DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION – PANDORA’S BOX IS NOW OPENED!

Lyndsay Graham stated on Fox News Sunday, today, that now, if the republicans take back the house, Harris may face impeachment based on the standard set for actually bailing out rioters in the country.

They must be trembling (with laughter) at that empty threat!

Take back the house – when the Dims have Dominion! 🙂

Though, with DJT on the prowl, maybe they aren’t sleeping quite as well as we fear …

I do not think any of them are sleeping well, Jason – and the floodgates have not even opened yet – when they do – they will not be talking much – if they know what is good for them – when is suicide weekend – next week?

He also mentioned (not sure if was the same source) that Laura Trump would be getting in the race for the Senate to take Burr’s seat and he didn’t see much of chance of Nikki Halley getting it. So I guess with this Mark Walker who looks like another Burr clone, there’s going to be two establishment types vs. Laura Trump in that race.

Ha, most of the comments in what ever it was I looked at were all warning Laura to watch out for Ms. Lyndsay least he put a knife in her back. MAGA people are all seeing the same thing 😁

duchess01

Hmmm…good points, Para!!! Graham is a snake in the grass – do not trust him to be honest about anything – would be wise for Lara to keep her distance – but, I am sure she already knows about that – I do not have to tell her.
