On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, you can find something here that will build you up a little . . . give you 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.”
The Fruit of the Spirit
God looks at us and deals with us on the basis of love . . . agapé love . . . love that puts our well-being first. He knows what’s best for us and he nudges us and sometimes shoves us in that direction.
When we trust in Jesus as our Savior, God sends the Holy Spirit to live within us as a Helper to shape our lives toward what God knows is best for us.
God’s Word lists nine characteristics that the Holy Spirit works to grow in each Believer to shape our lives toward how God wants us to live. These characteristics are called the Fruit of the Spirit.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)
The Fruit of the Spirit is:
Love, a love that seeks the highest good for others;
Joy, a gladness that is not based on one’s circumstances;
Peace, a deep contentment, shalom, unity with God and with people;
Patience or Forbearance, being slow to speak and slow to anger;
Kindness, showing mercy, sympathy, helpfulness;
Goodness, being generous and open-hearted;
Faithfulness, being dependable, loyal and trustworthy;
Gentleness, being calm, non-threatening; and
Self-control, behaving well and in a way that honors God.
It’s important to note here that the Holy Spirit is our Helper . . . He’s not going to magically change us while we ignore Him and continue to live the life of the world and “me first”.
We have a responsibility here to want to grow our Spirit Fruit and work toward that end. God’s Word puts that responsibility on us and tells us that we are to yield to the Holy Spirit. We are not to be passive but active in the development of our Fruit of the Spirit. In Colossians 3:10-15 Paul tells Christians to put on many of the same virtues. In 2 Peter 1:5-8 Peter tells his readers to add to their faith some of the same characteristics that are called the Fruit of the Spirit.
It’s important to know what the Fruit of the Spirit is and to diligently work to make it part of our Christian life. We don’t get to spiritual maturity by pursuing our own interests. We need to yield our lives to the Spirit’s leading by means of the Bible (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18). Our Christian life is always a combination of the work of the Spirit of God in originating fruit and the cooperation of our will.
John 14:15-17
If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever – the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
When God, the Holy Spirit, gives us His fruit in ever increasing measure, I don’t believe He just zaps us with a little fruit basket because we mentally agree with yielding to the Holy Spirit, were good last week and read our Bibles a bit more than usual. I believe God puts us into situations where we need to have love or joy or peace or patience and then, after going through many situations not using the Fruit of the Spirit, we slowly, even sometimes reluctantly, come to the realization that it is actually in our own best interest to live our lives with that basket of fruit . . . full and overflowing.
Us coming to the knowledge that God is, once again and always, correct in these matters is a very important lesson for us to learn.
The Spirit’s fruit needs time to grow. It will not grow like Jack’s beanstalk. Our old sin nature works to choke out the work of the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit gives us the power we need to resist and ultimately reject those old sinful desires. We can say “no” to sin and accept the way God provides (1 Corinthians 10:13) by following the Holy Spirit’s leading.
As we give the Spirit more control of our lives, He begins to do in and through us what only He can do – to shape us and grow us to look more like Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
As difficult as growing fully ripened Fruit of the Spirit is (nigh impossible), the actual task at hand is absolutely impossible. In Jesus’ words, “Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
Since God’s goal for all His children is for us to be like Jesus (Romans 8:29), the Holy Spirit constantly works to rid our lives of the “acts of the sinful nature” (Gal 5:19) and to display His fruit instead. The presence of the Fruit of the Spirit is evidence that our character is becoming more like Christ’s.
The Fruit of the Spirit works to rid our lives of the works of flesh.
Galations 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
God’s Orchard
Our world is an orchard God planted and grows,
With deep, dark, rich soil and water that flows.
We are His trees, all growing in God’s fields,
And each is unique with different yields.
God gave us His Spirit to show us the way
To grow fruit for Him, each and every day.
This isn’t just for you, it’s also for me,
So I have to ask, what’s growing on our trees?
The foremost of God’s fruit is agapé love.
Love God, and our neighbors: His gift from above.
Love the Lord with all our heart, mind and soul,
And love our neighbors – those must be our goals.
Joy is the fruit to make our poor hearts glad.
God plan is our happiness, not to be sad.
Believing in Him, inexpressible joy,
Now and forever, His presence to enjoy.
Peace, God’s peace, a harmony of mind,
A fruit to be treasured for all of time.
Let the peace of Christ rule in our heart
And our fears and worries will all depart.
Patience we show when we wait on the Lord;
Waiting and trusting are special rewards.
Goals, plans and steps are all made by man,
But all will be done by God’s perfect plan.
Kindness to others, as shown through our life,
Is our protection from discord and strife.
For just as God gave His kindness to us,
We can give others our kindness plus.
Goodness is uprightness of life and heart,
One of the things setting Christians apart.
The world might call it having a good name,
But we credit God, from Whom goodness came.
Faithfulness leads to God’s blessings, it’s true,
A faithful servant, the best we can do.
For Jesus was faithful, in life and death,
There, on the cross, to His very last breath.
Gentleness and meekness should grow on our tree,
As we walk with our God in humility.
Though we crave honors, it must be reversed.
Forever in God’s eyes, the last will be first.
Self-control will keep us on God’s path,
Not seeking the world and incurring His wrath.
The Kingdom of God is not worldly pleasure,
But righteousness, peace and joy in good measure.
Hate, anger, impatience, cruelty and strife
Are what the world chains to us in life.
Wickedness, betrayal, wantonness, and pride
Will be bound to us, so we must decide.
Will we live life for God, for all of our days,
Praising and thanking and walking in His ways?
It is for freedom that Christ set us free,
Let’s search our hearts now, what’s growing on my tree?
For Those Who Pray
Each day is special for those who pray
Who seek God to thank, worship and praise
Who seek God’s help for others in need
Who seek God’s will on their path each day
When we pray, we’re singing God a hymn
That acknowledges our dependence on Him
That we all know that God’s in control
That without Him our future is dim
Life on this earth is not games and fun
We’re here for a reason; saved by God’s Son
To do good deeds that God has prepared
And for all to pray “Thy will be done.”
Now this is difficult to understand
What prayer changes is the heart of man
God has always known just what He will do
And how our prayers fit into His plan
Millions who pray want God to do
Something for them . . . some tell Him how, too
Although God knows all that will be done
He’ll use our prayers to change me and you
Know this for sure, that we pray is God’s will
Bringing to us what He will instill
But when we’re through, when we’ve said and done
We must recognize what He will fulfill
God wants us to pray, prayers of all kinds
Continual prayer, aloud and in minds
For His mercy and grace, to worship, thank and praise
And all for His glory, the duty of mankind
For those who pray at Marica’s Wall
Prayer is our duty: give it your all
To God, for self, and for others in need
Pray without ceasing, ‘til we hear God’s call

Happy Sunday Bakocarl. Thank you!
Great open today!

I was talking about the fruit this morning in a discussion…
The cultural trope that Christians are too “judgmental”…
Understanding the difference between “judgement” and “discernment” – we aren’t judges rendering verdicts (judgement) but we do have a responsibility to be fruit inspectors (discernment).
Of course culture doesn’t make this kind of distinction, to which I joked that generally the culture is intellectually lazy! 😀
The conversation pivoted more toward works versus grace, but came back to the question of how to recognize good fruit from bad.
So I interjected that we should be using the same criteria for fruit that are in scripture – Love: Joy Peace Patience Kindness Goodness Faithfulness Gentleness Self-Control.
As for bad fruit, there are several passages that outline the works of the flesh, but I wasn’t about to try to recite one of those from memory 😉
Was a good prelude to an hour’s discussion on the Constitution.
“we do have a responsibility to be fruit inspectors (discernment).” . . . great analogy ! ! !
Lovely, thank you Bakocarl.
Amen.
Thank you, Carl, for such a beautiful Christian reflection on the fruits of the Spirit.
Your post last Sunday knocked it out of the park, too — excellent.
Thank you, Carl. This was a message I needed to hear,
Amen, Carl.
😌🙏
Thank you, nicely said.
And thank you for another lovely inspirational thread post.
Nice work!
Just remember, boys and girls, your spirit precedes you. True genuinely good spirits ALWAYS attract others.
Check it out at the next party/gathering you attend. Whoever has a bunch of people around him/her is the one with a good spirit.
Sadly, it is my experience that like attracts like. A gathering of people that you respect at a party will have those worthy of your respect.
Whoever has a bunch of people around him or her is a great story teller most of the time.
You are such a cynic. 🙂
No, I’ve been to a lot of parties where the person holding court is not necessarily the nicest or best person in the room, but he (or she from time to time) knows how to tell a story and keep the audience spell bound. Funny, they’re usually lawyers.
Got My Backup Account out of Suspension….
Follow if you want..
. . . and a little more to that story . . .
“Twelver” Shiites believe that the 12th Imam, the Mahdi, is coming soon through destruction and chaos.
The Mahdi will return as a messiah with Jesus to bring peace to the world and establish Islam as the ruling faith across the globe.
The Mahdi and the Muslim Jesus will execute anyone who does not submit to Islam, using the Islamic practice of beheading for executions.
You talking about the top story—
I’m GrannieLynda
Followed!!! 😀
Thank you
Followed.
We gotcha!
Not sure why again—As I told Wolfie—Its probably part of their scheme to get rid of as many Trump supporters as possible..
That is the dumbest ass story I’ve ever heard.
Peace on earth = beheading billions.
Got it.
This is a wonderful post, and fits very well with some recent discussions my daughter and I have had.
This is a really good song…Such a great tribute to LEOs

10 JAN CFR PRES. RICHARD HAAS: “USMCA IS NAFTA PLUS TPP PLUS A FEW TWEAKS.” – AND, TRUMP HASN’T A CLUE!
Posted at 15:00h in
Sustainable Development

Rich Loudenback
block quote
Quietly, without debate, one of the most dangerous attacks on American freedom and sovereignty is moving through Congress and headed to President Trump’s
desk for signing,. The USMCA agreement will create a North American Union worse than the European Union. Yet there is no voice of opposition being heard.
My friend Rich Loudenback has written a urgent, detailed report on this looming disaster. He shows clearly that this is not an improvement over NAFTA as
claimed. In fact it contains most of the provisions of NAFTA, plus a lot more. It will be a disaster to American industry, especially for agriculture.
Efforts to change some of the worst provisions have been ignored. Why do you think Nancy Pelosi has allowed it to pass the House? Please read and share
with as many people as possible. This must be stopped now! Tom DeWeese
block quote end
President Trump is being lied to by his trusted advisors and he is clueless about their deceit. Why is he clueless? Because he can’t possibly be supporting
something that is so comprehensively bad for America and even antithetical to his wall. Perhaps he so strongly wants to believe in the USMCA, that he’s
been easier to be ‘covertly convinced’ about ‘the deal.’
Lest one good American with his ear can open his eyes before this arrives on his desk, it’s a real ‘done deal.’ It appears he is ready to sign it immediately,
leaving with these advisors, his trust. He will be screwed! And America will be
‘transformed’
into a different world.
Believe it or not, I have actually had a couple people tell me they think it’s possible that Trump does know the truth about the USMCA, which would make
him also part of the problem. Like most devout Trumpers, I choose to believe that that’s not possible. I am all in for him, but this USMCA just doesn’t
comport with his many, many incredible accomplishments and persona projecting American greatness.
Trump’s signing the
USMCA
will, in fact, be the biggest mistake of his presidency to date and unfortunately will probably become his enduring legacy. He will be ‘The US President
That Signed Off America’ to be run by the
UN/globalist
community steered most largely in America by the clandesant deep state managers at the
Council on Foreign Relations
in lockstep with their UN/globalist comrades.
Once he signs this monstrosity of deception with all its controlling tentacles that will render our government and our Constitution feckless, President
Trump doesn’t get a do-over. He was able to cancel
TTP and TTIP
because they were still looming bills in congress.
When he signs this as law, that’s it! It has a six year review written into it and an 18 year renewal statement. Trying to get out of it will be like
England’s’
BREXIT
but tougher, because a lot more money will be easily spent to hold us down since we are the globalists’ biggest threat.
Short of a literal civil war or a long standing BREXIT type ordeal we will be ‘cooked’ as a once breathing, sovereign, free nation. Oh, we will probably
still be allowed to keep our name for comfort’s sake, like the former nations now under the tenacity of the
EU umbrella,
but gone will be many of our freedoms we’ve enjoyed as Americans. All of America will be forced into the
Agenda 2030
UN program with its controlling
‘Sustainable Development’ 17 Goals.
See:
Welcome to Agenda 2030 in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
One of many negative issues for the United States is cited by Christian Gomez in his article
‘What’s Really in the USMCA’
stating, “In the name of protecting fishes and other marine life, the United States would have to surrender its sovereignty over all of its waterways and
miles of coastal oceans (including everything under, on, in, and above them) over to the jurisdiction of UN international law.”
What is particularly sickening about this horrendous climax about to befall America is that literally all the supporting conservative talking heads on
TV & radio have bought into this because they believe in our great President and don’t fathom that his enthusiasm for it is the product of ingenious ‘stealth
programming’ of him by others. Virtually no one has done any vetting. Worst of all, our apathetic citizenry is not present on most issues anymore and
totally oblivious on this one since there has been no causations to notice for concern.
686597
How many patriotic Americans are going to tolerate President Trump’s much vaunted USMCA once it begins being implemented by the powers of the UN globalist,
once our patriots see what the USMCA really does. It will:
list of 13 items
• Take our sovereignty,
• Override our Constitution,
• Circumvent our Congress,
• Take jurisdiction over our Courts
• Override our Property Rights with the UN’s Sustainable Development/Agenda 2030
• Establish a Single Energy Grid for Canada, Mexico and the US run by the UN
• Establish a
Supranational Bureaucracy
for all three countries
• Establish Open Immigration among the 3 countries
• Climate Change regulations & taxes will be implemented
• “Gender Identity” and “gender-related issues” (aka LGBTQ) will be promoted
• Control our Customs Duties
• Effectively make us
a member state of the globalists run North American Union
• And then there are the
exceptions for each country
(even more UN control of America)
list end
This is all hard to believe isn’t it, since virtually all the talking heads in the media including all of them on Fox News choose to believe our wonderful
President who is so busy and wants something so badly that is better than NAFTA, he is willing to follow the recommendations of his ‘trusted advisors’
who are to the one, all blatantly poker face lying to him. See:
Why All ‘Free Trade Agreements’ Must Be Banned, They are Sovereignty Stealing, Deceitful Tools of Globalists: Some History & Facts
Since this is truly so hard to believe, then do something none of the media talking heads nor, unfortunately, none of the 348 House Democrats and Republicans
who
just voted ‘YEA’ for the USMCA
obviously did not do: Read the damn document!
We should be livid, because they generally like to say they voted for the ‘bait’ woven into the document for them to justify their votes, like they are
pearl-like gifts for dairy farmers or other special interests.
This is a national crisis and quite literally nobody is aware of it. We will morph into what will more than likely become the
North American Union
which will in turn become a segment of the UN run global government, ‘think New World Order.’ Again, should you have doubt, just read the document.
READ: THE FULL ACTUAL DOCUMENT:
USMCA | UNITED STATES-MEXICO-CANADA AGREEMENT
However, it runs for 1,809 pages — 1,572 pages for the treaty chapters, 214 pages for additional annexes, and 23 pages of side letters. Obviously, the
mammoth size of the agreement should set off alarm bells that much more is involved than “free trade,” which should mean the absence of government intervention.
A much easier approach to learning all that’s in this scheme to ‘transform’ (sound familiar) America into a member state of a regional UN run government
via this fine- tuned instrument of deception and guile, is to look at Christian Gomez’s spectacular expose’ of it in his article
What’s Really in the USMCA?
– A MUST READ!
Gomez’s genius approach to revealing the USMCA is to expose the UN’s controlling tentacles within the Trojan Horse agreement in his article and then allow
you to go to his in-depth ‘USMCA Issues Index’ at the bottom of the article that features links to any of your concerns that take you directly to them
in the actual agreement. You will save a lot of time and be convinced quite quickly why this is all a ruse to take utter control of our freedoms and our
government rendering The United States of America null & void.
“The pact is even worse than
NAFTA
regarding undermining American sovereignty and self-determination, in favor of North American integration extending beyond trade to include labor and
environmental policies. It is, in fact, so bad that the globalists who had lambasted Trump for renegotiating NAFTA praised him afterward,” says Gomez.
TREACHOROUS BETRAYAL BY ‘TRUSTED’ ADVISORS:
“A side-by-side comparison of the USMCA and the TPP shows extensive overlap. Virtually all of the problems inherent in the TPP are likewise contained in
the USMCA, such as the erosion of national sovereignty, submission to a new global governance authority, the unrestricted movement of foreign nationals,
workers’ rights to collective bargaining, and regional measures to combat climate change.” – Quote from Christian Gomez in his New American Magazine special
report
‘USMCA – A TPP Redux?’
Guess who was the chief negotiator in both NAFTA and TPP?
Answer: Robert E. Lighthizer, who is also a member of the globalists’ Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). See:
The Council on Foreign Relations: the Deep State’s Leaders ‘In their Own Words’
Larry Kudlow, President Trump’s Chief Economic Advisor assures Trump that Lighthizer is the best negotiator we have and the USMCA is just what we need.
Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haas said “The USMCA looks to be the trade pact formerly known as NAFTA plus 10-20%. Hope it becomes a precedent
for TPP. I suggest the US-Pacific Trade Agreement (USPTA),” Haass said on Twitter, adding, “What matters is that the US joins it; doing so would bolster
our strategic position visa-vis China and our economy.” The next day, Haass again took to Twitter, where he reiterated his renewed hope of the United States
rejoining TPP. Haass tweeted: “USMCA is NAFTA plus TPP plus a few tweaks.”
The USMCA — the NAFTA replacement — represents the next globalist step toward the economic integration of the United States, Mexico, and Canada into an
EU-style North American Union.
Oh, and they said NAFTA would boost our trade in large numbers and add at least 177,000 new jobs. Yet, after having had a trade surplus for years, we
immediately went to a $15.8 billion deficit the first year and it has increased every year since and we LOST at least 700,000 jobs stated Robert E. Lighthizer
in his
remarks on a NAFTA renegotiation, Aug. 16, 2018
Now VP Mike Pence’s office states, “The U.S. International Trade Commission says that within five years, the USMCA could add up to $235 billion in new
economic growth and 589,000 jobs to the U.S. economy.
Yet, The United States International Trade Commission website usitc.gov, their article
‘USITC Releases Report Concerning the Likely Impact of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA)’
those claims differ markedly: “The Commission’s model estimates that USMCA would raise U.S. real GDP by $68.2 billion (0.35 percent) and U.S. employment
by 176,000 jobs (0.12 percent). The model estimates that USMCA would likely have a positive impact on U.S. trade, both with USMCA partners and with the
rest of the world. U.S. exports to Canada and Mexico would increase by $19.1 billion (5.9 percent) and $14.2 billion (6.7 percent), respectively. U.S.
imports from Canada and Mexico would increase by $19.1 billion (4.8 percent) and $12.4 billion (3.8 percent), respectively.“ ??? Right.
The late, Professor Robert A Pastor, one of the leading architects of the European Union
wrote in Foreign Affairs,
the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations: “NAFTA was merely the first draft of an economic constitution for North America.”
OUT OF NOWHERE, THE USMCA PUSH HAS STRANGE BEDFELLOW: NANCY P
Making the strongest of statements on how bad this monstrosity must be, the person that would do about anything to hurt Trump, Nancy Pelosi, all of a
sudden is pushing for its passage, in fact, its reported that after having a lot of new
Progressive stuff inserted into it
at the last minute, she is even now trying to take credit for the bill and its passage. That is all most true Constitutional conservatives should need
to hear to ‘catch on.’
If this passes by the Senate and Trump eagerly signing it, there is NO second chance! Trump was able to cancel the TPP/TTIP on the 3rd day of his Presidency
because it was still just a bill in progress. Once he signs this giant win for the globalists it would take Congress and Trump to repeal it. Good luck
with betting on Congress. This could be tougher to accomplish than BREXIT in England, given the kind of money that would be available for our sorry LOBBYI$T
loving legislators and see how frustratingly BREXIT has been going, going and going. It’s possible that spirited American patriots may be more inclined
toward civil war than putting up with absolute control by unelected, unaccountable, global elitists who know what’s best about everything for everybody
in a Socialist world.
We have almost no time left to wake up Senators and especially President Trump.
I really want to believe in President Trump enough to think he would nuke this masterpiece of sovereignty destroying, evil deception as soon as he recognizes
the truths about it.
If we could only find one person who has his ear to open his eyes. In the meantime all we can do is all we can do. Please spread the word and make phone
calls ASAP.
Mitch McConnell has said that he won’t bring this up till after impeachment trials in January. But then, he could bring it up tomorrow. I do not trust
Mitch McConnell!
CALL AND LOG YOUR OPPOSITION TO THIS AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY KILLING BILL, THE USMCA:
PRESIDENT TRUMP AT 202 456-1111 OR 456-1414
YOUR SENATORS AT 202 224-3121
YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AT 202 225-3121- ASK HOW YOUR REP. VOTED!

CFR is a steaming load of “Pferde Merde”, at best, and Haas is down there shoveling more.
I would view ANYTHING they advocate as dangerous, and anything they criticize as likely good. They fact that they put up such a sense of urgency, and are complaining so loudly is a sign that VSGPDJT is right over target.
Cuppa, the CFR is in favor of USMCA. I’m not. It will put us under U.N. control and unelected bodies similar to those in the E.U.
I hope people will take the time to read my post above very carefully. Tom Deweese is a real hero. He admires Pres. Trump and has fought big gov and against CFR big global enemies.
My above post is in no way from the CFR–it is not CFR-friendly.

That line is so clear, even to someone who was born years later, that I one time asked my mother about the Kennedy years and the happiness and joy that seemed to exude American life at the time. She said they were heady days.
I still haven’t gotten her to admit that the assassination was part of a larger plot, but she – the mystery reader and watcher – did admit she always did think the Warren Commission was a white wash. “They” got better at fooling the people, though. I could never penetrate the wall she and others have built on Watergate, and 9-11 is a hard sell even when one says plainly that the only thing thoroughly destroyed at the Pentagon was the office where all the evidence of where the trillions of dollars were going was kept. We don’t know the answer to that almost 20 years later because a “hijacker” happened to get lucky and flew an aluminum plane into a first floor office which was behind blast proofing and which was a floor and a half lower than the nose.
I think the coup was going on before Kennedy, and he got in the way.
Hammer meet nail…
Coup was in progress…
Kennedy was going to do a number of things to impede the coup… one of which was to break up the C_A, another, to get rid of the Fed Reserve…
Totally agreed.

EPIDEMIC OF ‘NIGHTMARISH’ CRIB VANDALISM HITS ITALY
Unprecedented destruction of nativity scenes shocks locals
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) – Hundreds of Christmas cribs have been smashed, burned and vandalized across Italy in a binge of violence unparalleled in recent memory.
Statues of the Baby Jesus and the Holy Family have been beheaded, stolen or hanged — in one shocking incident even impaled on an iron pole in a public square.
https://www.churchmilitant.com/news/article/epidemic-of-crib-vandalism-hits-italy
Excellent article — a must-read. Thanks, Dora.
For everyone else: the incidents are horrifying. The media reports them rather dishonestly: ‘teenagers’.
FTA (note second paragraph):
‘While a number of acts were simply wanton and committed by local youth, sources said that other incidents could be traced to “people deeply different in feeling, values, faith and roots,” and “foreigners” who, although born in Italy, were from Islamic countries and “insensitive” or even hostile “to the sense of Christmas.”
‘There is also a sense of the loss of the sacred with the rapid rise of secularization; the Church is greatly responsible for this desacralization, a source observed …
‘The source went on to note that such incidents were less frequent in Southern Italy as the mafia, obsessed with the respect for religious symbols, would have the perpetrators punished, “but in Northern Italy we are basically witnessing an explosion of the same problem that has been infesting France and is now crossing the border into Italy.”
‘In France, more than 3,000 churches, schools, cemeteries and monuments were vandalized, looted or defaced during 2019 — which is on track to becoming a record year for anti-Christian sacrilege on the continent.’
hmmm… beheading…who does that?
Yes.
It was also done during the French Revolution. There are quite a few cathedrals with statues that have heads and hands chopped off. As tour guides explained to my friends and me, heads and hands are the instruments of power (thoughts and deeds). So, there is some cross-cultural meaning to those parts of the body and their removal.
sigh…those who demand tolerance rarely give it
This x 1000!!
All of us need to point this out more frequently.
It might be a good idea to check out your local library before allowing the children to visit.
These people are sick. – Q
Judge declares Hunter Biden is the father of the 17-month-old baby:
https://www.dailywire.com/news/hunter-biden-is-the-father-of-d-c-s-stripper-child-judge-rules
‘Judge Holly Meyer officially deemed Biden “the biological and legal father” of Lunden Alexis Roberts’ baby, born in August 2018, and ordered that a new birth certificate be issued.
‘“The Arkansas Department of Health shall issue a new or substituted birth certificate listing Lunden Alexis Roberts as the mother and Robert Hunter Biden as the father,” Meyer wrote in her order, filed Tuesday in Independence County Circuit Court.
‘DNA test results showed “with near scientific certainty” that Biden is the father of the child, Meyer wrote.’
Juicy article on H&M and other Royals:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7877331/Prince-William-reveals-sadness-broken-bond-Prince-Harry.html
Highlights:
– At present, Wills does not feel he can put his arms around H as he has done all his life.
– H worried for M’s mental health. ** Prince Charles worried for H’s mental health. **
– Elton John knew of H&M’s plans before the Queen did.
– Videos of H approaching Disney’s Bob Iger about voice-over work for M. Iger tells M: ‘Just email me’. He didn’t seem too forthcoming.
– Tax implications of income to be explained to M if she is out of the US too often.
– ITV’s Tom Bradby — H&M’s journalist ‘friend’ — warns a new, no-holds-barred interview could be in the offing.
– Senior Royals want the Queen’s private secretary, Sir Edward Young, to resign. They say he lacks the authority to defend the Queen’s best interests.
Forgot to add another point:
M thinks the pace of Royal life is ‘painful’, as in slow. Tough. That’s how it works, and that’s how its lasted all these centuries.
Yesterday, the Queen made some common sense moves – limited the arrangements to 6 days (same number of days H and M delayed telling the crown about their ‘plans’) – wanted an ongoing policy that would guide future dealings with wayward royals and those not in line for crown.
Maybe the Crown should adopt the old policy against divorcées (Camilla) and especially American divorcées (Wallis Simpson and MM) and descendants of illicit royal heritage (Diana was descended from royalty, but as I understand it, a mistress child, not of legal marriage). All those seem to bode unnecessary trouble for the royal family. Maybe a mental and medical health certifications are also warranted for future royal spouses. Maybe Royals who ‘screw around’ like Hunter Biden and father bastards should lose their titles… (that will never happen).
I’m being facetious and satirical here.
Actually, there is a lot of truth to what you say.
I would make an exception for Camilla, though. I was relieved that she and Charles married in the end. He always loved her.
He had to marry Diana though, because the late Queen Mother said it was important for the future Queen to be undefiled on her wedding night. It is unlikely his other girlfriends would have met that criterion.
Wasn’t it also because Camilla was ‘barren’ – couldn’t produce heirs?
Not at all.
She has two children: Tom and Laura.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camilla,_Duchess_of_Cornwall
Hmmm – I did not know that.
Well – the Royals are not innocents as we know of Margaret, Charles, Andrew….and so on. There were even rumors of the D of E messing around.
And Prince William, too.
The Royals are human, just like everyone else. Sexual sin is sad, so I’m not condoning it, but we should not be surprised that they fall into such temptation.
I’ve been quiet about this whole thing, because I really don’t have anything good to say, but I can’t help it now, having watched all this for days.
AMERICANS should not marry into ROYAL families. We don’t have the mental construct or constitution for it. We don’t have royalty here, having kicked that crap to the curb nearly 250 years ago.
If some old lady in a crown wanted to tell me what to do, it ain’t happening. Not for ALL the money in the world. She’s cool, but she’s not the boss of me. She’s not someone elected, she just got born into power.
I think Meghan Markle is trash. I don’t like her at all. But I’m pretty sure she knows how to make her own living, having done it. She probably thinks she can do it again.
I think Harry is the one who wants to keep all the Royal money, titles, etc. I don’t like him either. I always thought he was just another playboy, and nothing he’s done convinces me otherwise, no matter how cute he is.
I don’t think either of them should get to keep royal titles. But I don’t think ANYBODY should have a royal title, so there’s that.
I think they should both be cut off of the public’s money. If there is “family money,” i.e. from Charles, that he wants to give them, well that is his choice.
Sorry for the rant, but I just had to get it out.
An expert genealogist speaks her mind!
I also thank GOD we are not under the thumb of the likes of George II – but Ø was not much better.
Sad that Ø holds so much influence on H and M!!!
Isn’t THAT the truth! A dictator by any other name smells just as rotten!
LOL love it
I agree marrying into the Royal family is not for everyone. Megan was not a child she knew what she was getting into. The life is stifling if one is not used to it but everything is what one makes for themselves.
The life is slow but having visited UK twice there is so much to enjoy. Th estates would be wonderful horses and country. Megan could start an organic garden and enjoy life by putting others first.
So what the Queen sets the rules but everything in life are rules.
Of course if one has been allowed to lead an undisciplined life then that is hard.
I blame Megan for not accepting the responsibility and having a child to make sure the baby is now her ticket her control. What a despicable person.
I think you hit on Me-Again’s problem with:
I cannot see Me-Again putting ANYONE else first.
She’s doing as much damage to the Royal Family as Wallis Simpson did. And, considering the connection of Ms. Marxist to the Øbozos, I would not be surprised if the damage was intentional. After all, the Marxists (and Mozzies) LOVE to attack iconic/important people and institutions. I’d expect that Corbyn is having a hissy fit over the “loss” of Ms. Marxist…
I’d take the Queen and the Royal Family any day over mush-mouth drunkard Piglosi Gambino any day.
And, being ‘alf English, I can understand and endure the pomp and ceremony. It makes me sad to see what the likes of Chuckles, Andrew, and Randy Harry are doing, but I think (and hope and pray) that Prince William is a throwback to better times and better people.
There was a history video of the Royals that someone posted here (or at the “other plaice”, it’s been a long while), that had great music (Vaughan-Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis). It explained the history of the English Royals, going back at least to Queen Victoria, who seems to have produced all of the royal families of Europe (perhaps a problem in and of itself)…
PS – MM is going to play the race card/victim card – esp. if she is being advised by the Øbominables.
Whatever common sense arrangements are made – she will call them racist and put on the PLMV Crown (Poor Little Me Victim).
The Crown/Royal Family™ should strip them of their titles and estates and all income derived from the C/RF. AND make a rule that ‘service’ is mandatory to income from the C/RF. And that no one outside the C/RF may wear the crown jewels.
Maybe old MM should also have to relinquish all glittering gifts received as a ‘princess of the realm’.
Agree 1000%, except for the last paragraph.
If that happens (last paragraph), then she will make an even bigger deal about being a victim. It would make the Royals look bad, too. She’s only a Duchess, AFAIK.
She has called herself a princess of the realm on some document. I guess she thinks being married to a prince makes her a princess and maybe resented the Duchess title.
Yes, well, she can resent all she likes.
Kate is a duchess, too. So is Camilla. They don’t have a problem with that.
The msm was already pushing the ‘as a person of color m had no chance’ articles so there you go
This is fitting for the Sunday thread. Never thought we’d see the day.

And the ones who do walk over the flag get called out:
Thanks, good to know that. There were a few, but the huge number who weren’t – that’s significant. Wouldn’t it be something if the Mullahs are overthrown because of their own evil deeds? The people are feeling much freer with the death of Soleimani.
And I like the way the people are dressing in western attire. The women are taking off the head scarves, etc. Honestly, before the takeovers in the mid-20th century, all of that was relaxing to the point that the people weren’t religious, sort of like what has happened in the Christian west where the caving in on some matters, and relaxing formality has been a complete disaster.

I love these!!!!
BRAVA, Lady Penquin !!!!!
Ømar is despicable and disgusting.
I believe she’s dangerous – but not that POTUS won’t neutralize her as a threat. Her whole purpose for being in Congress is to compromise America. The enemy within. Hopefully, if we keep the Senate and get the House, we’ll do something about foreigners serving in Congress. Her criminal acts alone should be prosecuted. Wonder if POTUS has a FISA on her…
She a rabid animal of a person, and I know I shouldn’t think that – especially on Sunday – but she’s a danger to America. Period.
Same with Tlaib
– and same with most of the CBC!!!
IT’s why I told Don Jr. the other day, the Dems in Congress aren’t doing what they’re doing just because of their aversion to DJT, thought that too, but they’re anti-American and a danger to our National Security.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
– same with most of the DNC
They would/could/do sell out America for $$$ and power.
Now if we could only get a good Governor and not one who ignores those who voted for him…
He’s one of them who wants more refugees ’cause of his “faith”…we elected a governor, not a pastor…
I have not been nearly as impressed with him as I had hoped to be.
“Days that end in Y” also had a gorgeous selection of tiger photos this time…check these out…
Beautiful animals. Beautiful pictures.
Thanks.
they are!
My tiger story….
Many years ago I went on an elephant Safari to India and Bhutan (also spent time in Nepal to do some white water rafting and hiking. but that had nothing to do with tigers!)
We started in the north…forged rivers and went through jungles searching for the elusive tiger with absolutely no luck for almost 3 weeks. Finally, we worked our way to the southern part of India and basically our final opportunity. And much to our delight in our very last ride, we found a family with 2 small ones who were settled down (not on the move.)
We were sternly warned not to make a sound although the mahouts (elephant riders) could easily converse in soft voices without disturbing the tigers. Not only were the tigers comfortable with the elephants but also the cadence and sounds of Indian humans. We got quite close and it was magical.
I was wearing an Australian bush hat and my camera knocked it off my head onto the ground. I was horrified that I spoiled the moment, but without pause the elephant picked it up with its trunk and handed it back, so quickly I don’t think the tigers were aware.
The fluid beauty of tigers and their magnificent markings appeal to me very much….I never get tired of them.
WOW
awesome story!!!
Wonderful story.
Mine is we were driving in a park in India and the tiger runs out right in front of the car. It just stands there looking at us and finally just runs up the hill. It was amazing.
One of my Dad’s favorite stories. 🙂
Fantastic photography!
Enjoy your memes, jokes and photos ….I pass lots of them in and have concluded it’s truly the quickest, easiest and possibly the most effective way to “share the message” and educate others…especially those who really aren’t interested to delve into the weeds.
I search all over to find some good ones, but the best site is whatfinger—they have a section with 3-4 other sites that have them weekly…
who doesn’t like to laugh?
Yeah – but…. Tigers are just kitty cats.

how cool!!!
I always put Tiger Butter on my pancakes! ;8->
what is that?
From this story….
LBSambo tricked the tigers so that they chased each other…until they melted and turned into butter.
Which was delicious on all his pancakes…
i never heard of this!
Probably one of my favorite early childhood stories…perhaps because there was a pancake place in a nearby town that was called Sambos ( certainly couldn’t get away with that now!). If I remember correctly, they had either these books or a condensed version on the tables.
I don’t know who the illustrator was in the version that I read as a child, but the pictures were vibrant and bright and the tiger was ferocious….One of my favorites as well. :0)
GA/FL, we had this very book!
I had forgotten…Thanks!!!
The story: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/146665.The_Story_of_Little_Black_Sambo
Full story as my folks read it to me:

There was a restaurant in the South that featured Sambo.
True….it became Shoneys, or merged with Shoneys. Wonder if it still exists?

some Saudi trainees being expelled from US following shooting…the article says officials believed he was working alone—but wasn’t there a group FILMING it?
FTA
Sources told the network the Saudi officers in question aren’t accused of being a part of Alshamrani’s plan, but have been linked to other extremist movements. Additionally, a subset of the group have been accused of possessing child pornography, according to CNN.
Spokespeople for the FBI and Justice Department declined CNN’s request for comment.
Investigators still believe that Alshamrani acted alone, and it is expected that the Justice Department will conclude that the attack was an act of terrorism, CNN reports.
https://thehill.com/policy/defense/navy/477856-more-than-12-saudi-servicemen-to-be-expelled-from-us-following-naval-air
FYI, there’s a strong likelihood that they will be executed for dishonoring Saudi Arabia / royal family. I always have mixed feelings about these situations where we are sending someone to almost certain death.
Good with their being expelled. Rather sure they should NOT be in America. NOT our problem, nor my concern.
the story says that some were found with child pornography…I’m okay with those facing whatever comes.
Does ANYONE think Saint Obama would hesitate one second to throw everyone on that list under the bus?.
That’s the truly laughable part….all these media personalities that make themselves look like fools…zombies with no brains…are merely useful tools and will be left holding the rope in the end.
Thread worth a read, IMO.
The American Thinker has a piece on Cultural Marxism that resonated with me. I used to read so many books. It has gotten increasingly difficult to find books/authors that aren’t full of leftist garbage. This article gives a perfect example. Excerpt FTA:
“American consumers understand that most forms of popular culture have become nothing more than commercials for the Democrat party. Movies, television, and music focus less on entertainment than on influencing the next election. They have gone beyond mere leftist bias. Artists, writers, and musicians subordinate their craft in order to present one endless Democrat commercial.
This trend is equally egregious in the case of books. In modern bookstores, the Democrat commercial spreads far beyond the “politics” shelf. “The gardening books advocate hiring illegal aliens. The sports books reminisce about Vietnam.”
A telling example of this trend appears in a 2018 book about the design of General Motors automobiles from the 1920s through the 1950s. Fins, by William Knoedelseder, appears to be credible, informative, and interesting until it reaches Chapter 9. In Chapter 9, the author apparently loses interest in classic cars and decides, instead, to tell the reader that President Trump is just like Hitler. He does not actually mention Trump. He does not discuss Trump’s policies. He does not present actual evidence. The author simply discusses the pre-war automobile industry in Germany in terms of Hitler’s plan to “make Germany great again.” He even titles the chapter “Helping Make Germany Great Again.” A seemingly interesting historic work was thus converted into yet another Democrat campaign commercial.
The use of classic cars as a cover for yet another comparison of Trump and Hitler is far from an isolated incident. The implications of this trend are far reaching. Those who want to pursue their favorite topic in books will find their way blocked. It is not simply a matter of having to endure a chapter or two that compares Trump to Hitler in the middle of an otherwise informative book. Like the thirteenth chime of a clock, these insertions cast doubt on everything that appears in such a book. Every allegedly nonfiction book presents facts that the reader cannot ordinarily verify on his own. There are hundreds of footnotes that the reader will never examine. Even if a reader does follow through on a footnote, he will often find that the author has imposed his own interpretations, biases, and extrapolations on every source upon which the author relies. Inserting a Trump-Hitler comparison into the middle of a book on classic car design is obviously absurd, but that absurdity carries far beyond the actual chapter in which it appears. A writer who uses Trump’s campaign slogan to describe Hitler’s murderous regime is not likely to be careful about other factual assertions. And do not think that these insults are aimed only at Trump. They are aimed at the millions of Americans that voted for him, wear the MAGA hats, and remain loyal to him as he endures many attacks……”
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/the_lefts_endless_commercial_has_weaponized_popular_culture.html
IMO, the book industry is the one part of the entertainment juggernaut that does not get enough attention.
The publishing houses – the five big ones – pretty much walk in lockstep, which is why what they publish of even people like Sharyl Attkisson (her books are published by HarperCollins which is one of the big five) should be read with an eye open for manipulation. We talk about “cashing in” with a book deal. Why couldn’t that apply to a situation that is sympathetic to the conservative cause and is really controlled opposition?
Frankly, anything that has to go through the editors in New York who can and do change manuscripts according to the dictates from the people at the top, is sort of suspect. Political chapters thrown in on car books may not have been the author’s choice or in the original proposal.
At any rate, in my own field of fiction, it’s really interesting what and who gets hardcover deals and who makes it through the slush piles. Let’s just say hardly any of the stories would be bought up by the Hallmark Channel for wholesomeness. The indy market has taken the lead on that. If you read through comments on various big five offerings, the complaints about the bedroom scenes make you wonder why the publishers demand them.
Is this why so much crap is being published? Because I’ve gotten books to review and the quality has drastically gone downhill. They are just awful. Meanwhile I’ve read self published books that are so much better.
Most of those being pusblshed seem to be from nyc, ca or uk. Midwest what’s that.
The Seattle area as well.
I’m not sure what the criteria is for publishing, but, you’re right, the independent offerings are more entertaining, IMO.
True. Very true. Last time I had a book and now I’m not the best speller or grammar person there is but even I was finding errors.
No wonder they hate the self publishing industry. They lost control.
Do you mind if I ask have you always self published? I find this so interesting.
Yes. For about five years. I knew my stuff would never make it through the slush piles. Plus…it’s just easier all the way around. Sort of like not having to audition, actually.
DP that is just really cool! 🙂
It’s interesting isn’t it? One of my daughters writes music, and has music that’s been placed and picked up, basically with smaller libraries. Initially she thought it would be wonderful to be picked up by a big company, but after looking at the whole industry, she saw how corrupt and controlling it was, even to some extent the Christain music industry. So she basically “self produces” all her music now.
Just like it was in the old days when music directors were all composers and their choirs and staffs presented the material. We’re headed back in that direction I think. So much is so expensive and restrictive for performance.
I have a fairly eclectic taste in literature, and I’m finding it harder to find a book that’s well written. I can put up with some poorly written material IF the story, whether fictional or true, is engaging. Mind that i said “some”. I’ve looked at some self published stuff on Amazon, and most of it is mediocre.
A few years ago I looked at a manuscript that my daughter was asked to critique, and it was just awful. The problem with the author was that he’d been told by several people that he’d written an amazing story. I think their amazement was that he’d written a story, never mind that it was horrid. He ended up self publishing it.
I’m not against self publishing, it does create an avenue for people that have a good story or information to put out that does not fit within a major publishers’s world view. Sometimes it’s hard to find a good read amongst all the self published junk though.
Amazon is the king of the online stuff, but there are other places we all can (and do) self-publish. I use Smashwords as a distributor and as a rule most of us post 20% of the book as a preview. I haven’t tried B2B yet, but it’s a similar set up where every online option OTHER than Amazon is automatic. Books get pushed to Amazon after so much in sales. Otherwise, you have to post in both places.
Just like anything else, it’s hit and miss.
Thanks for the info about smashwords and B2B, I will give them a look.
Wow jamcooker. Good for your daughter. A lot of people are doing it themselves. Look at the online selling of art and crafts. The video producers, the podcasts, the books ec.
Your always going to have the good and the bad no matter what. I saw a book on amazon which you could tell had paid reviews because I tried to read it and made it all the way up to page 50 before I brought it back to the library.
I think the last good published hardcover book I read was ‘A Gentleman In Moscow’… all this other stuff is just awful. And like I said the last one was just ugh. And the grammar mistakes. Again I’m not the best at grammar but even I was catching it. I mean ok people have different tastes in things fine but some of these things you really start to wonder.
I’ve heard of Smashwords and Draft2Digital. I think Smashwords was created when the person couldn’t get his book published and started the service. Good for them. Power back to the people.
Forgot to add I’ve seen people do their own comics and comic books as well. Some of them are very good.
As Rush Limbaugh has noted many times, the Democrats, the Left, Progressives politicize everything. It appears they have even applied it to the history of classic cars. That degree of attention to the arcane demonstrates an acceptance of the legitimacy of Orwell’s “1984.” I believe, on the basis of reams of historical evidence that the Democrats, Progressives, and all there fellow travelers should henceforth be designated as cultural terrorists. One should be circumspect when in causal contact with such persons.
We’re’ almost there.
Sylvia: This so true; children’s books are especially awful. I have a young grandson who loves old books and reads and collects. He started with Tom Swift and so many other collections of books for boys written around 1900. He has an outstanding vocabulary. He’s also quite an outdoorsman. The boys in these books do all kinds of interesting things.
I could recommend some of my favorite old authors, like John Buchan and Patricia Wentworth. John Buchan wrote the “The 39 Steps”. He has a gift with words!
Patricia Wentworth is a precursor to Agatha Christie. Her main character is Miss Silver, who comments in one book that when she reads a book she would like to know that the characters have at least heard of the 10 Commandments.
Tom Swift. That rang a bell.
“I’m very thirsty,” Tom said dryly.
The Dave Porter (at Oak Hall) books, from 1904 to around 1920-ish, are also good, part of the many series by Edward Stratemeyer. They are available as pdfs online, and I think are also in the Gutenberg project. They’re an interesting picture (even though fiction) of how things used to be. And the spellings are different, for example to-day, and gasolene, among others. Well worth reading. I have the first four in hardcopy, first editions, bought at Holmes Bookstore (Oakland or Berkeley, I forget which), sad to say, no longer in business, as so few people are interested in anything older than the 1960s or so.
Of course, the really old books are sold by the yard for stagers to use when selling a house – to make the owner appear “literate”… I could just scream…
wow…they really want to get the Pompous Little Twit out–by any means necessary–she is guilty of CRATE CRUELTY…

These people are nuts:
The animal rights group PETA blasted AOC for apparently buying a purebred French bulldog instead of adopting a homeless dog from a shelter.
“The dog is pretty clearly a Frenchie and a very young puppy who appears to have been purchased from a breeder,” PETA spokeswoman Ashley Byrne told The Post.
The freshman Democrat introduced the pup to her social media followers Tuesday, but has refused to answer questions about the still-unnamed dog’s origins.
But she is taking name suggestions from her followers: “We are thinking something Star Trek related or Bronx/Queens/NYC/social good related,” she said on Instagram.
PETA didn’t think there was anything cute about AOC’s pet pick.
Also AOC is guilty of crate cruelty:
Newkirk also lectured AOC about proper canine care.
“We’re also sending you a copy of the book Dogs Hate Crates, which explains why crate training is not humane or effective,” Newkirk wrote.
Ocasio-Cortez had posted a video on her Instagram of the bulldog whimpering inside a small black cage.
Reps for the congresswoman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

I thought Muslims ……..”No dogs allowed” ?
she’s not a Muslim, is she? socialist/communist for sure, but not sure on the Muslim part
You’re correct Pat… AOC is NOT Muslim…
I was reading AOC and brain was ‘seeing’ IIhan !
Funny thing, the brain… right?
birds of a feather tho, right?
Yes, definitely…
maybe I should I have said birdbrains of a feather…lol
Don’t care much for AOC, but will not fault her for getting a purebred dog or for crate training. I have a purebred Dalmatian and crate training worked great for her when she was little. BTW…PETA…People Eating Tasty Animals…
my daughter and her family adopted a rescue boxador..(boxer/lab mix) and crate trained him and bought a cheap version of the electric fence deal. you say wanna eat to him…he goes right to his crate… and they can now take off his electric fence collar and he will still only stay in his designated yard. it’s amazing.
pat, the only dog training book I ever read that was spot on was written by a man who trained hunting dogs.
His philosophy was to take advantage of all of a dog’s instincts.
He says dogs are den animals, and that crates are necessary a)for potty training, and b) positive, secure places for a dog.
A big mistake people make with crates is to use them for “time outs”/punishment, which defeats their whole purpose….and confuses the dog.
I have had five dogs from puppyhood, from Shi Tzus to Rottweilers, and crated them all.
When they wanted to get away from the fray, they retired to their crates…it was so nice!
When I left the house, they were crated…no accidents, no destruction.
Everybody happy.
i think they’re perfectly fine myself, and can understand the role they play in training. but you’re absolutely right, when my daughter’s dog has had enough excitement, he goes to his crate to “escape”…
I don’t fault her for doing so either. I fault her for her hypocrisy in doing so.
All but one of our dogs has been pure bred. They’re usually the ones with coat issues or are too big or small.
Crates…never again. Ever. Our lab hated hers, and moved it across the room while she was in it. I simply will not do it. So, if needed, one room with a tile floor is blocked off from the rest of the house, and/or gates go across the steps. That confines them enough that they don’t get into what they shouldn’t.
I did the tile floor thing when she got bigger, but she still liked to lay down in her crate. The cats would take turns going in there with her to snuggle too.
She was heartbroken when I finally gave it away to a cousin who needed a crate for his dog. Would go looking for it in the house crying.
CM dogs need a crate they are much calmer. My dogs love their crates and I leave the door open. They have access to the whole house. Sometimes at night my Coonhound-Staff comes into bed. I do not mind I have a dog protection cover on the bed I wash often.
My Heeler likes to lay next to the bed on a rug when he is tired of her crate. Crate is good for dogs at least what trainers and Vets say and I found out..
By the way the crates are in my bedroom and it is a safe space when company comes.
That’s not to say that every female we’ve had has had her spot in the house. The current cute and charming tyrant is 18 pounds and likes tight corners and to be under various pieces of furniture. Her predecessor had a corner, as did the one before that. But, it’s their choice.
She now shares a bean bag in the living room with the cats and also has her own bed at the foot of our bed. Spoil them rotten as we don’t have human kids…they’re our fur babies!
Bulldogs in cages, separated from their families…

PALOS HILLS (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — Charges have been upgraded against a man who allegedly slashed tires of multiple vehicles at churches in Palos Hills last year because he didn’t like Christians.
Osama E. El Hannouny, 25, was initially arrested Nov. 17, 2019, and charged with 14 counts of criminal damage to property, according to Palos Hills police.
The charges against him were upgraded Thursday to 14 counts of hate crime, police said. He allegedly admitted to slashing tires of 19 vehicles at two churches because he didn’t like Christians.
He was released on a personal recognize bond and electronic monitoring Thursday, police said….

Q
Dems in VA are planning to bypass parental consent for vaccines and birth control…
FTA
It can’t be stressed enough that the passage of S.B. 104 would create an extremely dangerous scenario in which children might harm or even kill themselves by making inappropriate medical decisions, even as their parents are none the wiser.
A child with a peanut allergy, as one example, might be coerced by the school nurse into “deciding” to get jabbed with a vaccine that contains peanut oil, which could cause him to go into anaphylactic shock and die. A child could also mistakenly “decide” to get the same shot twice on two separate occasions, increasing his risk of experiencing an adverse effect.
It’s nothing short of foolish to grant children adulthood status when it comes to making their own medical choices, and tyrannical to replace these children’s parents with the state. But that’s what Virginia Democrats are trying to do at the very same time that they’re also trying to abolish the Second Amendment by taking everyone’s guns.
“If S.B. 104 becomes law, there will be no guarantee parents will know if their children had received vaccines at daycare, at school, or at another location,” writes Claire Chretien for LifeSiteNews.
“It seems that under the proposed law, after having been deemed ‘to the satisfaction of a health care practitioner’ to possess ‘the ability to understand at the same comprehension level as an adult the risks and benefits associated with vaccinations and immunizations,’ there is no mechanism in place to notify parents after their children ‘consented’ to a vaccine.”
So, the takeaway is this: If you live in Virginia, you’d better fight hard to ensure that S.B. 104 doesn’t get passed, otherwise you can kiss your parental authority goodbye. While you’re at it, you might want to take an aggressive stance in support of your gun rights, or those could go bye-bye as well.

I’d rather see OANN as a substantial factor in DESTROYING the cable companies.

Cable is ridiculously expensive and loaded with garbage.
And I wouldn’t want to see OANN compromised by TPTB.
#CutTheCord
Rumors and hints for several months something like this was coming….hope it happens! Wouldn’t that shake MSM , including the smug Murdoch family of FOX, up big time!
A huge undertaking, though…and I’m certain every possible roadblock conceivable would be thrown their way. If it’s going to happen it has to be while Trump is POTUS.

Kevin McCarthy suggested Iranci held articles to sabotage Bernie’s chances of winning Iowa. DNC trying to get rid of him again. With all Senators locked in trial, Biden gets a boost.
Bannon says she held them to find more evidence and to ruin the State of the Union, urging POTUS to postpone SOTU til after trial so whole world can see him acquitted.
https://twitter.com/LisaMei62/status/1216394760753238019?s=20
Is Bannon urging PDJT to postpone his SOTU? If so – I strongly disagree.
PDJT should carry on like there is NO SCAM-peachment.
The House and Senate Demon-craps can’t behave any worse than they did at the SOTU last year and the year before.
Postponing the SOTU gives way too much validity to the SCAM-peachment.
PS – I haven’t forgiven Bannon for his antics in the White House and in the Alabama election. He’s too full of his own dogma and a lot of hot air.
His point was that the Impeachment threat puts a cloud over POTUS. Since the whole world watches the SOTU, by delivering it after the acquittal, redemption gives him much more power and influence worldwide. He’s sent the idea to POTUS, it’s up to President to decide.
Bannon is a Master strategist, very smart, MAGA, and I mostly agree with him. I think he got the Big Head being in the WH and coupled with too much liquor, made bad mistakes which got him in trouble and fired. POTUS handled him promptly.
Didn’t take him long after his fall to sober up, get back on track, learn from his mistakes and from what I’ve seen he’s much better at promoting the President’s agenda from the outside rather than in. That way if he goofs POTUS can disavow. If POTUS can forgive him and accept his good help, so can I. I am watching 👀 him.
https://twitter.com/Q2ndWave/status/1216404103666065410?s=20
That is so sensible! No surprise you’re here with all the smart peeps.
I agree that he’s been looking a lot healthier. He’s was kind of quiet for a while, so whatever he’s done for himself has been good.
Bannon is no way equal to Trump as a strategist. Comparing their records proves that. Bannon has an ego problem…it’s much bigger than his actual accomplishments. PDJT doesn’t need his help, just his support – as in not sabotaging Trump like the last times. I’m not going to give Bannon any credit or listen to his palaver. Still too angry about that Alabama Senate seat! Spit.
Love you !!! Sorry to be at odds/disagreement re: Bannon, but need to be honest.
“The House and Senate Demon-craps can’t behave any worse than they did at the SOTU last year and the year before.”
Yes they can, and may very well.
One of the their options would be to stage a mass walkout while President Trump is delivering his speech. They would justify it as ‘moral outrage’ over being denied justice in the impeachment proceedings.
Democrats might then stage a pre-planned press conference outside the House chamber to air their grievances.
Democrat antics might also come in the form of getting up from their seats and turning their backs on POTUS during his speech.
All of which can be avoided by simply having the president walk to the podium, lay down a written copy of his speech, say ‘here it is’ and walk out. Nancy would have the option of being herself by acting out OR she could simply read the speech out loud to the audience.
Then he should go to the preplanned TV setting and give his speech to the American public…the audience that really counts.
Regarding demonstrations, if Pelosi allows this to happen she may as well start clearing out her desk. Because it means a total loss of control….and the American public seeing first hand who is representing them in Congress. Not sure they want the unmasking.
No, I think they’d rather sit there playing Candy or Scrabble on their devices, make faces of concern and distain, or look utterly bored.
No doubt, Trump will trump all that with a few well worded tweets and a Stephen Miller Speech™ or – a PRESIDENTIAL Address to the Nation!!!!!!!
Just a thought . . .
Perhaps The Turtle could receive the Articles of Impeachment from Nanzi, and then, if a quick vote for dismissal on the basis of not meeting constitutional muster is not performed, hold the articles until just after Iowa to permit all parties an adequate time to prepare for the impeachment proceedings.
I’m not informed enough of consequences to advocate this approach . . . just tossing out an idea.
Unlike Nanzi, I think Mitch has to react the moment she sends the Articles over…
I’m inclined to believe the theory being circulated that she held them to throw Sanders under the bus again. He’s leading in Iowa, but what happens when he is tied up with Impeachment trial in the Senate.
More to the point, can those DIM senators running for president sit in on the impeachment trial of their opponent? I’ve yet to see any ‘official’ word on that.
Give no credence to impeachment.
– Bury impeachment via dismissal. (My first choice)
– Destroy D-Rats by calling dozens of witnesses to bury criminals in DOJ, FIB, IC, Uniparty…total scorched earth. My second choice.
– – Problem here is this takes time. BUT, this DOES ensure Senators sit their butts in the Senate and NOT run amok.
State of The Union on schedule. Highlight the great accomplishments of the year, three years… As well as 2020 and following four years. For good measure, ROAST D-RATS obstruction of progress, criminal behavior… Yea, latter couple thoughts reflect my being petulant at time.
Brain had an excellent thread yesterday. Good to repost today. Brian makes a very good point… why is Pienka practically hidden away??? and no, I don’t believe the DOJ/FBI is deliberately keeping him from the investigators. Perhaps he is the “cooperative” witness?

Or maybe he did the work of gathering information, testimony, documents and they are waiting until after the election/inauguration to take the next step.
IMO – PDJT and the FBI, DOJ won’t move on the big crooks until after November 3, 2020 – or the inauguration in January.

“A Thursday evening software update at Facebook accidentally allowed anyone to view exactly who is posting under the accounts of public figures, businesses and other entities, according to Wired.
The result? For starters, some 3 million followers of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg have been reading posts made by her father, Svante Thunberg, and a climate activist in India who serves as a delegate at the UN’s Climate Change organization, Adarsh Prathap. Thunberg, Inc. claims Greta is still the one writing the content.”

We all BELIEVED he was posting for her, and writing her script…
this is simply affirmation
Actually, what’s more interesting to me is this:
One has to wonder what the REAL purpose of the software update was, and how they were able to categorize and filter the various entities/targets.
Could they have inadvertantly revealed a part of their agenda or “capabilities”?
They could easily use this type of filtering, for instance, to obstruct conservative outlets/companies, or to gather “source” users into groups. Something similar might be happening with sausage-squisher and various posters to various fora being locked up (or “locked up”, as it were)…
That was very interesting. It would reveal exactly how fake it all is.

On one hand Iran is made out to be a wealthy oil country but this move makes it seem they’re s loser nation taking handouts…which is it?
3 billion is to pay for terrorists to keep violence going and finish the nukes so to point them at Israel. This money needs to be confiscated but I guess it is to late 🙁

In Ca and NY no apology is necessary…carry on about your crime business with no worries. Hey look Ma no more 2 tiered justice system
The mind boggles. “FBI admits illegal wiretapping of President Trump, issues apology ” is an astounding statement.
The reporter is referencing the Horowitz report that came out on Dec. 9? Sounds as if Wray’s apology was done only because the FISCourt is now looking into the spying on Carter Page.
A couple of ways to look at it, IMO: 1. What took Wray so long to address this issue? Or, 2. Wray knows there’s more coming and is waiting for and participating in the Plan, but was forced to say something to the FISC.
Waiting for justice…

Well that just makes me cringe.
Has anybody else thought about the strange timing of the couple’s exit from the royal family?
Apparently they were in Canada for about six weeks, ending a couple of weeks ago. That roughly coincides with the announcement that Prince Andrew was “stepping away” from royal duties because he is a pervert and loved Jeffrey Epstein (who did NOT kill himself).
I have read that Markle was having trouble adjusting to royal life (who normal wouldn’t, IMO). What if the realization that she had married into a pervert den was just too much? I can’t believe the Queen, et. al. were unaware of Andrews “activities.”
Maybe Harry really loves her. She has a baby. I wouldn’t raise a child in that environment. What if she said “I’m out,” and Harry loves her enough to go too?
I’m just playing devil’s advocate here. I have stated that I don’t think much of her or Harry. But the timing of this thing seems really suspicious to me.
I think she was playing them all along. I think she’s doing what she’s paid to do. Look at how they met. Look at who’s BFF’s with her and with H. I think GS is behind this to pull down the royal household (he’s always hated the UK). And the royals were too blind to see it or the warning signs.
Look at who his open borders society pushes. Now look at who the UK has let in. People that don’t are about UK history.
If you watch the Brit vid above … 32 times she was told NO
You’ll learn that she was told to go away for six weeks.
She had no intention of following protocol at any time…
