Dear KAG: 20200805 Open Thread

Just in case people here haven’t seen multiple angles of this:

Hmmm…. Intrigue…. This one seems appropriate.

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

In addition, it is requested that there be no swinging from the chandeliers, celebratory gunfire, messing around with the nuclear weapons, and, please, everyone wash your hands.

Please, do not forget to apply sunscreen after a sensible amount of time in the sun so as to beef up the level of vitamin D in the system so we can all get our immune systems in shape to stop the Wuhan Flu thing sooner rather than later.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree. You’re welcome to visit over there and say hi to anyone hanging out over there.

A few other vital notes:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

Ridiculing the other side, on the other hand…well….

__________________________________________________

From the Prophet Jeremiah, Chapter 31, verses 10-13

Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off, and say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.

[11] For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he. [12] And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord, for the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds, and their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more. [13] Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together: and I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow. 

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, members of the Cabinet, first responders and those working behind the scenes.

Looks like it’s closing in on time with all the winning going on.

OK, odd ball here.
But DANG, that was a GREAT explosion. 🙂
In the video FG&C posted> Easy to see numerous smaller explosions – ordnance cooking off between the initial explosion and the massive explosion.
The shock wave, the massive over pressured. W O W ! Simply WOW… 🙂

Valerie Curren

If this is true it adds an “interesting” wrinkle…

Have seen that thought. Me thinks the explosion was IDF influenced.
That said, very happy to see Ukraine in the news. Hope it all comes out soon. It’ll stop the insulting Biden candidacy.

Valerie Curren

I was wondering about the Mossad…& any Ukraine/Burisma news cannot actually be good for no show Joe blow…

Deplorable Patriot

I have a suspicion it’s all related. Ukraine was being used for money laundering. Some of that cash was the bribes to Iran. I doubt it’s all separate at all.

Valerie Curren

This seems an important point that suggests a more “humanitarian” weapons disposal, like US or Israel???

Valerie Curren

Is the bright line of light to the left just before the explosion an example of “rods from God” possibly? I don’t know what DEW in the tweet means…

Deplorable Patriot

The supposition is missile or drone strike.

This (above) was also a munitions depot.
PS – Pay attention to Wictor’s accurate observation that Hezbollah historically sites munitions and command/control locations inside civilian populations.

And no, it is very unlikely this had anything to do with Ukraine matters.
this had to do with Iran and their military proxy Hezbollah.
PDJT and Saudis are neutering Iran, which paves the way for a peace agreement between Israel and the so-called “Palestinians”.

Deplorable Patriot

Don’t kid yourself. Ukraine was one of the money laundering sites. It’s all tied up together. Doesn’t matter whose missiles and munitions they were, it’s all deep state in the end.

Ozzytrumpster

Missiles aren’t free.

I just think it’s deliciously ironic that the raids were on Obama’s birthday.

Ozzytrumpster

Another perfect troll

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

I’m going to agree but also not agree with Wictor, and here is why.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflagration_to_detonation_transition
This is visible, and clearly responsible for the shock wave. IMO, they KNEW it would likely reach a detonation, and were OK with that. WHY? Because detonation is the only way to be sure. The SHOCK WAVE will take out disconnected caches of explosives, including the conventional explosives of nuclear weapons. The only way to be sure about known unknowns is a shock wave, and for that, the action ultimately needs to create a sufficiently large detonation.
Deflagration prior to detonation will reduce the damage, but ultimately it is more important to destroy everything there, and a detonation of a good size is necessary to insure that.

Ozzytrumpster

Saw a graph that showed the atmospheric radiation levels spiked in Sicily post Beirut bang. (It’s an international monitoring station) can’t remember who’s twitter feed

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes, I saw that. Very weird. If it shows up at any other stations, we’ll know.

Teagan

Look at the larger map and it appears Sicily is almost directly West of Beiruit and it’s been reported the detonation was equal to a 3.3 earthquake, as recorded by the station in Sicily. Interesting about the radiation levels.
Can you imagine what the view must have been in the space station if anywhere near it!

Bullshit. Compassion for drug users? They aren’t victims.
They deeply and negatively affect all around them, up to and including causing the deaths of others.
i’m talking about the hard-core drug users…not smoking a joint.

ForGodandCountry
Gail Combs

“… hard-core drug users…not smoking a joint….”
Those two definitely need to be separated just as we would separate illegal drug use and alcohol and tobacco smoking.
Mary Jane mellows people out and has a variety of medical uses to boot. It also does not rip your stomach up as OTC pain killers like Aspirin, Naproxen Sodium and Ibuprofen do. I have used hemp oil for about a year. My stomach has healed so I have lost weight AND I no longer take a week to recover from hard exercise. Now I am fine the next day. Hemp & Mary Jane are related but hemp has little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) the major psychoactive chemical in Mary Jane.
President Trump even signed The Farm Bill, Making Industrial Hemp Legal Again at the end of 2018.
Cannabinoids as novel anti-inflammatory drugs

Cannabinoids and multiple sclerosis
The three main cell types that are involved in demyelination of the nerve fibers and axons in the CNS include activated T-cells, microglia and astrocytes. In activated T-cells, treatment with WIN 55,212-12, AEA and JWH-015 has been shown to inhibit cytokine production, infiltration of cells into the spinal cord and in vitro recall response to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein by T-cells. Cannabinoids also inhibit the antigen presenting abilities of microglia by downregulating MHCII expression, costimulatory molecule CD40 expression, as well as cytokine secretion. Astrocytes, the major cell population in the brain, are also affected, as cannabinoid binding to the receptors leads to inhibition of inflammatory molecules, such as nitric oxide, cytokines and chemokines. In addition, anandamide binding leads to secretion of neural growth factor secretion and protection of the neurons in the CNS.

Just wish it weren’t so expensive, Gail. I took the CBD oil drops for a few months until the China Virus closed down the local source I used…but, it was very expensive in addition to all the other supplements I take these days.

Gail Combs

After the first couple weeks, I don’t use it every day and normally just 1/3 dose except on heavy lifting days. Then I spread the 1/3 doses through that day and the next. I also use Turmeric Curcumin twice a day and that seems to work to keep the pain under control. (I take move free joint too.) I have been in constant pain for most of 50 years so finding supplements that WORK has been a real blessing.
Besides I figure what I now save on food pays for the oil. 🤣 I also stocked up on all OTC medications before the Chinese Corona Crud hit.
BTW I put the oil under my tongue and I think that means I use a lot less since it goes directly into the blood instead of going thru the digestive tract first. B12 (for allergies) under the tongue seems to work a lot better than the delayed release in the stomach that I am now taking.

Teagan

What strength do you use for the CBD, Gail? I discovered the first ones I used were virtually worthless because being so diluted.
I also do the under the tongue application, even with Vit B…Wish more supplements could be delivered like that.
As it is, I space my supplants out throughout the day and often take with food or milk….and still get heartburn.
This morning I woke up with a mouth full of cancer sores as well as on my tongue….sign of weakened immune system…and I haven’t been off our property in over a week.
As I get older (today is bd, so I guess I’m more aware to the topic), I find I’m much more reactive to foods, supplants, products, etc than I ever was. I’m thinking it has a connection of NOT being allowed into “the herd” and thereby creating a more vulnerable condition.

Valerie Curren

Hope you had a blessed birthday & are feeling better. God Bless!

DP did you see Sam page won….
Sad that Kim Gardner won again. Soros money works it seems. Shame.

Deplorable Patriot

Yeah, well, the REAL issue, if you ask me is putting the primary for all this in early AUGUST rather than May or June. It’s real simple: about the second week of June every year – and I mean EVERY YEAR – until about the third week of August, the city and county empty out as people go on vacation. (You learn as an executive assistant to never schedule meetings in this time frame. Not enough people are in town to pull it off.)
Early August it’s usually a ghost town around here leading to lower numbers at the polls, and then only the hard core voters vote, and there’s more leftists who will vote in every election than there are hard working, distracted salt of the earth types. That’s how they get stuff like medicaid expansion passed. In a general election it would never happen.
The couch commando is on fire this morning. Seriously, Sam Page was bad enough, but the medicaid expansion bill was worse. It was originally supposed to be on the November ballot, and Gov. Parsons had it moved to the primary election. In November it would NEVER have passed. Because of the way it is written, it can only be repealed by a vote of the people. Essentially, it installs ObamaCare in the state. I’ll have to dig a bit on it, but it looks like there’s an effort to install ObamaCare at the state level across the country.
The Deep State always finds a way, and it’s never straight forward. Sneaky.

Every day there are new “forbidden names, words, titles, etc” ….I’m convinced there are some crackpots that are laboriously going through the dictionary and finding “offensive, racist, sexist, etc” words to add to the forbidden list.
I never did read what the reasoning or evidence that “grandfathering” is racist….as deemed by the Appeals Court in Massachusetts. Insanity! So many problems and issues and they chose to spend time on “words.”

Gail Combs

“….I never did read what the reasoning or evidence that “grandfathering” is racist…..”
It is ALL ABOUT TAXES and being able to grab property. Farms are (were) taxed at a much lower rate but when a developer wants the land they try to convince the town to tax as HOUSE LOTS. If the farm is “grandfathered” that is it has been in the family for one to three hundred years, the town runs into a problem BUT they get around it. Two friends were targeted and ousted from their family farms after major battles. This just makes those battles easier for the elite.

Teagan

Well, it’s quite interesting that “grandfathering” is used for black farmer reparations and/or slavery issues FOR the blacks but not allowed for anyone else. Typical liberal logic.

Valerie Curren

If they control the language they partially control the discussion. It’s an evil form of insanity from the pit of hell. Wrong speak reflects wrong think aka thinking for yourself instead of swallowing whole whatever “they” tell you is “true”. Of course any discussion of, or search for, Absolute Truth, let alone the Way, the Truth, & the Life is verboten!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

This would explain why the Coup needed to take Trump down. Trump was not just likely to, but was undoubtedly going to cut into their payday.
This is exactly the lesson I finally needed to understand the CA3 scandal that I was involved in. I was one of the CHUMPS who believed that Affirmative Action was actually about fixing things and educating disadvantaged students.
Nope. The core reason was to be a PAYDAY, and it was MORE of a payday for a longer period if it NEVER did what it was supposed to do, and that’s why the *problems* with it needed to GO AWAY, not GET FIXED.

Gail Combs

“Affirmative Action” AFFIRMS Blacks are an INFERIOR RACE. Too bad many didn’t figure that out. It also makes sure they DON’T reach their potential. Candace Owens and several others have finally figured out the poison inside that sugar coated pill.
I do not give a hoot if a person is racist or not as long as they do not ACT on the racism. If it is LEGAL to hold up a replica of the bloodied severed head of the President of the USA on national TV, then it is certainly legal to say ‘I do not like Black Thugs.’ Instead ‘Black Thugs’ KNOWN CRIMINALS like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and now George Floyd are held up as ‘Martyrs’ — as the ROLE MODELS for young blacks and their families are SHOWERED with $$$$.
Hubby taught for a while in the Boston area just after the Civil Rights Act was passed. He hear black students tell a good black student to STOP GETTING GOOD GRADES because it was ‘Too White’ — WTF?

Interesting thread by Roscoe B Davis on the CIA interrogation techniques and it mentions John Durham.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1290347539472973825.html

….The videotapes I’m referring to were made by the CIA during interrogations of Al-Qaeda suspects Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri in 2002 at a CIA black site prison outside of Bangkok, Thailand.
It wasn’t talked about much but there were tapes from GTMO as well that went away with these waterboarding tapes. And I personally think there were also tapes from other black sites across the globe. But the ninety something are the ones that leaked out.
.
.
[Lots on the legal CYA by Bush and then Obama… Were the tapes destroyed? OR moved to Bangkok? Bangkok was never mentioned by the Fake News…. GC]
.
.
In late Oct 2002, Gina Haspel became the section chief of a CIA “black site” located outside Bangkok Thailand codenamed “Cat’s Eye”. Haspel began working at other black sites as just an interrogator and worked her way up to Chief and in 2002 she was transferred to Bangkok.
She was Chief when Hayden ordered the tapes destroyed, and fingers were pointed at her for her role in the destruction of 92 interrogation videotapes of detainees both at the black site she ran and at other secret agency locations.
A partially-declassified CIA document from Haspel showing the direction for a new method of record keeping at the black site in Thailand, by re-recording over the videos, took place in late October 2002, soon after Haspel’s became Base Chief.
Remember John Durham cleared Haspel of any wrongdoing. Durham has a huge amount of leverage over Haspel. Haspel was the Section Chief over Europe when Brennan was running his pre-coup operations against Trump.
Haspel is the key to taking down Brennan.

Valerie Curren

Fascinating…so Haspel’s not necessarily a White Hat but she’s in self-preservation mode?

Gail Combs

If you can not get a ‘White Hat’ you get a ‘Black Hat’ who can be BLACKMAILED.
Remember one of President Trump’s first EOs was crimes against humanity. If you lose all your wealth, or it is ‘frozen’ then you can not hire a really good lawyer.

The opposite of “emotional fragility” is “emotional resilience”.

Bullshit.
The anger and defensiveness comes from the now widely-accepted pablum that if a White person dares disagree with the woke, virtue-signaler’s narrative then that disagreement constitutes proof that said white person must be a racist.

Gail Combs

The anger and defensiveness comes from being REQUIRED to kiss the ass of Black Thugs with No Manners.
I was never ‘racist’ but I sure hate THUGS no matter what the color. Actually I was sued for ‘racism’ by a drug dealing Latina who was trying to extort money. I had a BLACK defend me in court. She retaliated by killing his dog and shooting up his house barely missing his 2 year old grand daughter.

Hey guys, just a quick note about Josiah. He had labs drawn yesterday & at least one of his liver numbers was not looking good (they didn’t have all results back yet). They are bumping up his Cellcept from 500 mg 2X/day to 1000mg 2X/day. Thankfully they aren’t asking him to come in for more IV treatment & no more labs this week, which had been mentioned as possibilities before the nurse spoke with the Doctor. I guess he’s not entirely out of the woods on that liver injury/rejection situation yet, unfortunately.
I’d appreciate your prayers for him!
He seems to be doing relatively better by observation. His eyes have almost cleared all signs of the jaundice. He did go into work on Monday & was a bit tired after that 3 hour shift. He got to spend a couple hours with his fiance last night & they really enjoyed being together. They both love the Lord & show forth His Joy!!! Blessings…

cthulhu

As a random thought, have you looked into non-medical things that can help Josiah’s liver? A lot of things tend to fall into two categories — that which feeds desired function by providing it with necessary things, and those that challenge a function to make it stronger through controlled resistance. If Josiah is eating more of the “challenge” type, it might be good to ease off until the crisis passes; if Josiah is eating less of the “feed” type, it might be a good time to supplement.
Life wants to live, and most organisms regulate themselves as best they can — but at times such as this, a little conscious attention may be helpful.

Valerie Curren

Could you expand on this please. His liver suffered “injury/rejection” since it is a transplanted organ & though it’s been in his body for 7 years when he went low &/or no anti-rejection meds over a few weeks eventually there was jaundice & illness &, based on labs, hospitalization.
They have him back on some of the meds he was on early post-transplant & hasn’t been on for years (Prednisone & Cellcept) & on higher doses of his normal anti-rejection med Prograf/tacrolimus (now 3mg ever 12 hours when it was 1.5mg AM & 1mg PM before hospitalization)…
They don’t have him on any dietary or activity restrictions like they did after the transplant. He wasn’t allowed fountain drinks for weeks because of possible infectious agents. He wasn’t allowed in the lake for nearly a year. He had to wear a mask in public for months & his para-pro had to sanitize every desk, surface, & computer he used in school for weeks…none of these things are part of his life now…
They didn’t mention Any dietary stuff, but then they are MDs & so trained to deal more in meds than lifestyle stuff…
I appreciate your insights–Thanks!

cthulhu

The observation I was looking to communicate is that there is a macro event (rejection) which may be won or lost at the edge — and you have a team of physicians you have a relationship with acutely monitoring this through labs at the top level….
But, maybe, it’s a good time for you (not them) to look where they are not looking….and see if you can give Josiah’s liver a teensy bit of a boost at the micro level, including supplemental nutrition to aid liver function and avoiding the consumption of things that would challenge the liver. I’m not an expert in liver function by any means, and I’m not looking to push any products. It’s more like, “when there is a brush fire, it’s not the time to have a backyard party with a fire pit.”
My heart is with Josiah in this time. It seemed like a potentially useful topic to communicate.

Valerie Curren

OK, thanks. Sounds like something to research, like healthy ways to boost liver function &/or minimize liver rejection/injury post-transplant…
If it comes in any sort of supplementation form we’ll have to run it by the MDs but if just dietary then I guess we’re free to be creative 😉

cthulhu

‘Zactly — while the big guys are doing big things, you can “grease the skids” elsewhere. You want the same thing — Josiah healthy — but you might see where they do not.

Valerie Curren

Thanks…I’ll look into that & Very Much appreciate the suggestion. I hadn’t thought of that angle!!! 🙂

I know that green tea is slightly hepatotoxic, and people who drink a lot of green tea AND take green tea extract as a supplement are at risk of hurting hepatic function. Not sure if he’s a tea drinker or not.

Valerie Curren

No, not really much into tea. He likes to drink pop too much. We’ve finally gotten him to add those low-cal flavor packets to water so he’s drinking more water; the dietitian in the nephrology clinic was supportive of this approach. His liquid intake is sometimes insufficient & it impacts his “chronic kidney disease” which is associated with his high blood pressure, I believe…

Ozzytrumpster

As an addition. The liver has to break down all the toxins in the body. Alcohol is a prime example of a toxin that hurts the liver while it’s being neutralised.
With rejection the white cells of the body recognise the intruder and program antibodies. This is how we recover from infections. Some things the body only has to meet once and the immunity attained is lifelong-makes a big impression. Other things fade with time. This is how vaccines work and natural immunity. With transplants the trick is to lull the immune system into not recognising foreign cells. To do thiis a good tissue type and anti rejection (immunosuppressive) drugs do it.
Initially the level of anti rejection drugs is high as first impressions count. As time passes, with it’s response nobbled the immune system learns to grudgingly tolerate the new organ and anti rejection drugs can be weaned down. This is tricky and very individual. Whenever the immune system gets irritable it needs extra soothing. Eventually a balance is achieved. Obviously if the organ gets insulted by mistreatment like alcohol or challenging foods or even stuff like sunblock (this is cumulative-double Jeopardy- anti rejection drugs increase the risk of both sunburn and skin cancers) or there is an infection the balance is thrown off. Kidneys are vulnerable to dehydration. Hearts and lungs hate chest infections.

Thanks so much for this Gail. This Really Blesses me!!! You Rock 😉

Definitely praying for Josiah, Valerie. …and and you and your husband! What a great Mom you are!

Valerie Curren

Wow, GC, I so appreciate your prayers. I have to defer the “great mom” comment though, for I am at least partly responsible for the liver tailspin. Both times when he ran out of anti-rejection meds we were out of town for Memorial Day or 4th of July vacations & I Chose to deal with the med stuff after we were back home instead of trying to source stuff in Northern Michigan…
I’d been hopeful that Josiah was one of those people who could Eventually wean off the anti-rejection meds all together (we’d been told that the liver is the only transplanted organ where that is even Possible)…I missed the jaundice as it creeped up. Our daughter noticed on Thursday but forgot to say anything. Our oldest son, whose house we were hanging out at on Friday, is the one who noticed J’s eyes were orange…
I was so fixated on getting taxes done by the July 15 deadline & my procrastination had me not getting it done before vacation…that I wasn’t even really planning to dig into meds til that was all done (J still seemed “fine” so I wasn’t “too” concerned)…
Believe me, I carry a load of guilt, though I am only One part of the chain that dropped the ball for Josiah…but meds have always been my responsibility. Even though 2 other family members took transplant med training alongside me I’m the only one whose Ever managed his meds. Those other 2 don’t even live with us now!
I struggle with that “never good enough” perspective. I can harken back to my dad harping on my report cards with all A’s & 1 B & all that was talked about was why wasn’t that B an A…Thankfully God the Father deals with me differently than my earthly father did/does…
I’ve sought forgiveness from Josiah, his twin Brandon, & my husband for the part I played in contributing to J’s med challenges (& the risk to his life). I am forgiven “just as if I never did it”, but I know what I did & didn’t do & still have to live with it…& the fear that my weaknesses & inadequacies are still present & could come into play down the road…
I doubt we’ll ever run into a similar med situation, especially now that it’s apparent that J Requires anti-rejection meds for at least the foreseeable future…but dropping the ball in some arena or another is still out there…Thankfully he’s not as fragile as he was when young but still…
The Creed song “I created my own prison” comes to mind when I dwell on this situation & the aftermath too long. His Grace is sufficient & I do require His Strength to move forward & keep giving Him the burden of my guilt & manifest sins to be able to keep functioning & not crumble under pressure…
But thank you so much. I believe you read through our Transplant Journey some time back so what you shared is weighted by your knowledge of some of our experiences & your previous precious prayers for Josiah & our family. God Bless You for this ministry of Love & Grace!!!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

You learned that he can’t wean at this age. It’s a gamble, but it was worth a shot, IMO. Now you KNOW the steepness of his limits. That’s useful knowledge that could REALLY save his life in the future. As long as we learn, we can turn defeat into victory!

Valerie Curren

A great warrior perspective…a tad bit Thomas Edison, even if we’re more Tesla fans here, hmm?
I do appreciate this encouragement! Blessings

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Medicine isn’t physics – too many moving parts. Hard to be Tesla! 😉

Valerie Curren

That’s why doctors Practice, never Perfect. 😉
FWIW I failed calc-based physics twice & then barely passed general physics. I was always a conceptual learner & never really grasped the concepts of calc so had a bit of a mental block (I hated just pure memorization without full understanding)…I’d never failed a class before that & getting on that horse & getting bucked off again was a harsh, but likely overdue, life lesson…hmmm…
Wasn’t Tesla the genius theoretician while Edison was the tinkerer, more trial & error? Of course the govt. was more supportive of Edison, at least as far as what the public had access to & knowledge of. Did the elites/deep state/cabal keep Tesla’s triumphs mostly for themselves???

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Those are the common perceptions of Edison and Tesla, but I recently read something which stated that the “standard comparison of Edison and Tesla” is more correct on Tesla, and less so on Edison, whose main fault wasn’t as much being overly empirical, as being overly abusive and mercenary toward the people who came up with great ideas under him. Tesla wanted no part of it. I’ll see if I can find that article – it was great.
Tesla was indeed somebody who liked to perfect ideas in his head, rather than wasting too much time on false starts. He was quite proud of his approach. And yet, he had his flaws. Tesla didn’t respect relativity at all. Ironically, his thinking on it was a bit like Einstein’s thinking on quantum mechanics, which – despite having been one of the originators of QM, Einstein notoriously described the main school of thought on QM of his time as being “incomplete”, which was true, IMO, but which idea was not taken kindly. I personally think Tesla’s beef with relativity was due to two things – (1) not having dug deeply into the problems of space/time and gravitation himself, and (2) having his own ideas on “new physics” which were not yet ready to be relativized.
Calculus is beautiful, but yeah – if it’s not explained well, it’s no fun at all.

Valerie Curren

Your insights are fascinating. Hope you find that Tesla article! I think I need a Calculus for Dummies book & my brain from 30 years ago to have a shot…Tesla’s time travel???

Apologies for the delay in replying, Valerie. You are right that I read Josiah’s history…very inspiring…and I remember that he was the only member of your household who was pro-Trump at one time! LOL….that lad has faith in God for sure. And it looks as if Josiah has convinced you at minimum, if not your whole family… ( That’s when I posted onJosiah’s site, the 1983 prophecy about Trump, and by the way, it’s updated recently by Lifesite news…here it is: )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBsiXN9mLS4
Isn’t Our Lord great? He introduced us to His Father, made Him real in our lives, so we can absolutely call God, Father!!! An all loving father….so much healing in that.
It’s late and got to do some other work…but now that Josiah is in my prayers. Please keep us updated!
God bless

Valerie Curren

Thanks GC…it’s amazing that you can recall so much about Josiah. You’re right in the Trump support area. J was on the Trump train for the primaries in 2016 & all the rest of us were (various degrees of reluctantly) backing Cruz. I had eligibility concerns w/ Cruz so I felt somewhat hypocritical about that after all the digging I did on Natural Born Citizenship surrounding the BHO Usurpation…
I’m not sure that J convinced us to be Pro-Trump & my 2016 vote for Trump was definitely more of a vote Against Hillary. But now that Trump has been a Promise Keeper & Battling diligently for our nation as founded it’s impossible to not be on the Trump Train!!! We are so blessed to have this lion-hearted champion fighting for us, & even for the world, as he diligently goes after deep state darkness & all manner of evil, like child-trafficking. I’m so pleased with the vast majority of what he is doing & thankful to have Treehouse resources to magnify my understanding of these amazing times!!!
Thanks so much for your prayers. We heard more about J’s labs this week & they bumped up another med, Prograf, a bit to try to calm down the liver. Also his white blood cell count is elevated so he’s not completely out of the woods yet. Blessings!!!

I’ll pray that Josiah will be out of the woods soon, Valerie. He truly has been an inspiration for me. God bless

This is a pretty amazing group to get to hang & interface with–I’m still amazed Wolfie let me in. Keeping up with current events has Never been my forte. Perhaps that’s part of what makes genealogy appealing. One gets to play detective & find clues & tie disparate pieces of info together to draw conclusions…but most of it isn’t constantly changing & being obfuscated by those with questionable motives…

patfrederick

we have many gifted researchers here–and those who are warriors on twitter and other platforms. we also have spiritual warriors and morale warriors…we are an army…each with our own strengths!

Beautifully put! Love it! It’s still sometimes awkward attempting to fit into a niche when one is used to playing Lone Wolf & Lone Ranger…at least that’s my story & I’m sticking to it (at least for the moment)…

Hey guys, my husband shared an encouraging comment on one of my blog posts today that touches on part of what special needs parenting can be, at least our version of it. I thought this might bless some of you & fit in with some of the conversation in this “Josiah Thread”…Blessings!
You can find the comment here, fyi:

Just a huge shout out to my wife Valerie Curren
When you are the parent of a special needs child, you cash everything in for that purpose. You honestly lay down your life, everyday. Your life, becomes.. their life. In the beginning when the doctors tell you that your son will not read, and then he reads, that he will not walk, and he ends up.. riding a bike, you begin to wonder if anyone really knows what they are talking about at all. When the schools say his IQ is way below “normal”, and he needs “these classes”. Deep down, you know they are wrong, so you have him tested by his/ your physicians, and of course it’s clear the school just skewing the numbers to make it easier on themselves to save money.
The list goes on and on and on, as do much of the smoke screens, along with the people that ignore almost every special needs law on the books. Who is on the front lines to battle the institutions that for some reason don’t want to look that hard, or, work that hard to help your son become the best he can be? Simple, that person is mom!
But no matter how many battles you may have won, so-to-speak, the question always lingers in the back your head, “was it good enough”? Did I do enough? Will he be ok?
Then after that, the exhaustion has its way, and you begin to replay all the conversations that people have criticized you for, saying things like – “you should have done this way”, or “because you let up in this area, he is now going to suffer for this”. Your life is slowly beginning to get reshaped, and reframed. The dreams you may have had are all set aside. The dinners you hope to cook, don’t get started most of the time because another social worker was not satisfied with the answers you gave, and wanted to go over all of them again. Or, the pharmacy messed up another medication refill, hence another hour on the phone.
But finally you get some time to yourself, you might sleep..some. After getting 4 hours of broken sleep on the couch, you realize its now 2am , but, the house is quiet and you can finally think a little bit. You stay up, read, find something interesting on the internet, and then you eventually pass out again. The weeks turn into months, and the months turn into years, and you look back and see, your sleep deprivation has not helped your depression one bit, and it has actually caused you to be fairly isolated in many areas of your life.
Over the years, the isolation has gotten way worse because you really don’t have anywhere to go to process all the guilt you have for not doing a “good enough job” . Ghosts of the past are constantly making question everything you do and say. You would wish you had someone to talk to but you don’t have anyone really, because most people quite honestly, can’t handle hearing about all the struggles. Your struggles, his struggles, your husbands struggles, and how you feel you are letting everyone down. You hear things like “ Your too needy”, and “I can’t be your friend (you just have too much going)”, or “you really need to get your life sorted out, you sleep in too much” etc…
You start to lose your trust in people, and wonder if there is any real compassion out there. Does anyone really care? People begin to see you only has hermit, who doesn’t take time “reach out”. So the special mom who has put everything she has into her child’s life, becomes an island unto herself. Nowhere to go, nobody to talk to, and no energy to get there. It’s just how it works out.
But, there is another day of phone calls that awaits you, and you have to make sure all the medications are in place, and all the doctor’s appointments are scheduled. Plus there is always the ongoing counseling sessions that take place directly with the special needs child reassuring them that God made them special, and that everything will work eventually. This goes on all day as well. But that’s what good parents of special needs kids do. They give it all, and hope one day, it will pay off. Not for the parent, those days are long gone, but for the child. Will he succeed in something? Will he continue to progress in life? Will he make a difference somewhere? Ask any one of them, and they will tell you that it was all worth it, but don’t be surprised if they don’t drift off to sleep for a second before they finish their sentence. Its not an easy road, but it’s what you have to do.
My wife Valerie is a hero. She doesn’t think so, because who is going to tell her that. Not the doctors, not the pharmacist, not the social workers, not the dentist, and really not even the church. When you’re an island, there are no accolades. But she is indeed a hero!
Love you very much babe. Thank you for all your sacrificial love for our son. You are amazing.

August 5, 2020 at 7:52 pm Edit
Michael, Thank you so much for sharing these very insightful observations & humbling encouragements. We’ve lived this thing for so long now, almost 2 1/2 decades if you can believe it! Well being so close to it “all” it’s pretty hard to find an objective viewpoint from which to reflect on our journey thus far.
Thank you for still seeing me & loving me in spite of, & at times because of, the challenges & even my manifest shortcomings. You do in so many ways evidence Christ’s love for His Bride, The Church, in how you love & care for me (& our family)…& we are all so very blessed in & by & through you!
You are the True Hero in our scenario, after Jesus our Ultimate Hero! You are a rock & together we stand on The Rock & weather those storms of life alone & together, safe in His Arms as He carries us both when our strength fails & we retreat into His Comfort, Healing, Strength, Peace, Hope, & even Joy!
I Love YOU so much & am continually amazed that God gifted us to each other to battle for the family & the Kingdom side by side, heart to heart, & at times even back to back! He is so Good & in the end He Wins & we share in that Victory in Jesus!!! No matter what happens we are taking what money can’t buy, our precious children, into that Life Eternal & that assurance can help see us through so many storms & trials & the uncertainties of life that continue to swirl about us.
Nothing can separate us from the Love of God that is in Christ Jesus! What a blessed assurance when the waves toss & the winds blow, for our house will continue to stand since we are founded on The Rock that is Christ Jesus our Lord. Hallelujah

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

It is a common belief amongst many atheists, especially the militant ones, that the preachers who rail the most against homosexuality, drug use, etc., etc., are more than likely going to turn out to be doing those things themselves, and the higher their profile, the more likely it is. They’ll cite the Bakkers, Ted Haggard, and many more. Now I don’t know how statistically likely it is looking at the total population of firebrand clerics (you’re being invited to believe it’s common, and you really can’t draw that conclusion), but it does seem to be the case that IF a cleric is caught doing stuff like this it will then very likely turn out he was preaching hard against it.

Valerie Curren

“Physician heal thyself” & all! Good insights!
Personally I think to some degree all believers are hypocrites. We never really live up to God’s standards & can only stand before Him because of the Blood of Jesus. Unmerited favor…oh “& such were some of you” is always applicable, even if it’s just committing murder or lust in one’s heart!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

It’s a moral code no one can hope to live up to. Especially the “in one’s heart” parts, which render one guilty even if one succeeds in practicing self-restraint. Those are essentially thoughtcrime.

Valerie Curren

No fig leaves will ever cover up the thoughts & intents of the heart!

This is a truism for most anyone who practices deception in their lives.
Having been a keen observer of humans, I have seen that in action closeup and personal on many occasions.
We are such frail things, really. But with God, all things are possible. 😇

Deplorable Patriot

This is not wrong, and I can name at least one bishop many of us suspect fell into this category, but it’s never been proven. He’s really not all that bright, actually.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Well the “stupid” part, at least, isn’t a sin, as far as I know.

Deplorable Patriot

No, but this man was the interim administrator between the last two bishops, and in less than a year, he made a mess that took quite a while to undo, including a couple formal excommunications that should not have happened.

This won’t age well.

Deplorable Patriot

See you in November. Clay’s district includes not just the city, but a good chunk of big money in the Central Corridor now. This isn’t going to sit well at all.
As for what the Deep State is pulling in this area, this is what I wrote to Kea above:
Yeah, well, the REAL issue, if you ask me is putting the primary for all this in early AUGUST rather than May or June. It’s real simple: about the second week of June every year – and I mean EVERY YEAR – until about the third week of August, the city and county empty out as people go on vacation. (You learn as an executive assistant to never schedule meetings in this time frame. Not enough people are in town to pull it off.)
Early August it’s usually a ghost town around here leading to lower numbers at the polls, and then only the hard core voters vote, and there’s more leftists who will vote in every election than there are hard working, distracted salt of the earth types. That’s how they get stuff like medicaid expansion passed. In a general election it would never happen.
The couch commando is on fire this morning. Seriously, Sam Page was bad enough, but the medicaid expansion bill was worse. It was originally supposed to be on the November ballot, and Gov. Parsons had it moved to the primary election. In November it would NEVER have passed. Because of the way it is written, it can only be repealed by a vote of the people. Essentially, it installs ObamaCare in the state. I’ll have to dig a bit on it, but it looks like there’s an effort to install ObamaCare at the state level across the country.
The Deep State always finds a way, and it’s never straight forward. Sneaky.

kea

See you in November. Clay’s district includes not just the city, but a good chunk of big money in the Central Corridor now. This isn’t going to sit well at all.——— I always forget that its not just the city.
Really hope people wake up in November.

District 1 includes almost all of North County, and now goes out to almost 170. It’s still gerrymandered, but not everyone is a reflexive Dem in that amount of territory.

Guess there is no other way to fill it – only naturally – will pray for your babies, too!

patfrederick

He will provide.
and we are going to restock some fish next spring as well…

duchess01

When we have a wet spring – we have all sorts of critters gathering in newly formed ponds here and there – even mallard ducks – when the ponds dry up – so do the critters – except for the toads – lots of little frogs or toads hiding in the tall grass – what’s up with that – dunno – weird Spring and Summer here weather-wise – all sorts of nutty things happening – dunno why – seems like nature is out of balance – ‘Skippy Squirrel’ is hanging from my bird feeder daily – even though I provided him with dried corn cobs – he still stuffs his face with bird seed.

nature does seem to be on edge this year…our deck is proof of that!

wow…arrogance and ignorance. Seattle protestors filed a lawsuit against the city, arguing the city should pay for the protestors “protest” gear–boots, gloves, helmets and gas masks–and oh yeah…pay for the filing of the lawsuit itself. because the police/city has money and access to riot control gear–no fair!
FTA
It went to on say that “each of the Plaintiffs was unable to protest for a period of time for want of additional gear necessitated by SPD’s unmitigated and indiscriminate tactics utilized without restraint.”
The plaintiffs further argue that “the continued misuse of war munitions by SPD against civilians turns the streets — a public forum and site of protest — into a pay-to-protest racket where only a privileged few who are wealthy enough or popular enough to crowdsource funds to purchase gear akin to that used by the police department they fund can truly be in the streets.”
Fox News reported that some of the items listed as necessary protest gear “included boots, gloves, helmets and gas masks.”

“Seattle protestors filed a lawsuit against the city…”
But wait, there’s more!
In Portland the city is fining the U.S. Government for having a fence in front of the federal building their maximum amount of $500 every 15 minutes. As of July 29th, when this article was written, it was $200,000, and counting. They are claiming it is justified because it blocks a bicycle path.
Mass insanity. Unhinged from reality.
From the article:
“Need more proof that Portland City Commission lives in la-la land? Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has issued the maximum fine allowed—$500 every 15 minutes—to the federal government for the fence around the federal courthouse at the center of nightly riots, because the fence blocks bike lanes. Portland City Commissioner Chloe Eudaly, who is in charge of PBOT, issued a statement announcing the fines, and it’s full-on crazy train.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer he will lay off 22,000 city workers if the Feds don’t give him a bailout.
Wolf Blitzer asked de Blasio if he is failing because crime has spiked in New York City.
The Communist Mayor, who defanged and defunded the NYPD blamed Covid for the increase in crime.
Then he said he’s very worried about the stimulus talks in DC and warned he will have to lay off 22,000 city employees from every department by October 1st if he doesn’t get a federal bailout.

Word from the Kansans themselves, Marshall is the more electable candidate. Kobach. while a favorite of McConnell and POTUS, was not considered the stronger for the final race in November. We have a better chance to hold the seat now. It was opened by Sen. Roberts not running again. I’ll try to find the tweet that talks about Kansas. Richard Baris, pollster, had this to say.

I like that Marshall is a physician.
Then there is this result from Arizona – which is significant. Larry had thought McSally was throwing away her seat, but the GOP turnout yesterday far surpassed the Dem guy, Kelly. I despise Kelly – he’s the anti-gun fascist who parlayed his wife, Gabby Giffords being shot into a platform. He’s a nasty SOB.

But, the “power of the phone and pen” (ie federal funding) works just as well for Trump as it did for Obama.
At this point, I’m very doubtful I would trust a Public school teacher with my children’s education. Did you see the young teacher who couldn’t answer when America was discovered and freely admitted she did not use the approved curriculum but rather her (Communist, liberal ) “own version”.

patfrederick

dropping this here before I go back and see what I missed…
back from my weekly walmart banana run. I wore a mask today (we started brewing the pinot noir a few days ago and the fermentation always triggers my sinuses for the first few days. so rather than endure the looks and stares of the Karens, i wore a mask.)
but I wasn’t satisfied, just looking like a sheep…so occasionally as I walked up and down the aisles, I made a baa-baa sound. if anyone looked at me, I looked around quickly and asked–did you hear it TOO???
so, yeah, I was giggling under my mask and having a good time…till i got to the checkout.
now the draconian measures walmart was taking before are somewhat gone. they don’t have someone else cleaning every shopping cart–but they have the wipes available like they did pre covid.
and they used to have only every OTHER checkout open–to allow adequate spacing–today they had the 3 checkouts open in the center and it was crowded-beginning of the month stuff.
but dang the senior citizens were PISSED today. i asked the woman in front of me why–they got us used to the self checkouts and now they won’t accept cash–gotta used a damn card, she said. the older guy in the next line said, they claim it’s the coin shortage–but (he was pointing at the bank inside the walmart) there’s a bank RIGHT THERE! he was very mad and after he checked out…he stormed to the customer service desk and YELLED about it to the manager.

This is ALL about DRIVING small businesses out of busines AND THEN driving us to a cashless society.

To me it seems the coinage shortage is a farce. When I was in Pleasant Hill I had no problem paying cash and there was plenty coinage.

patfrederick

last week at walmart, I was able to pay cash but since I didn’t have exact change, I asked the cashier if I could donate the 60 some cents to walmart…lol
she said that would make her drawer off, and suggested I donate the 60 some cents to Children’s Miracle Network. Awesome, I said let’s do that.
this week I tried to do that and it wouldn’t go thru the register. she called over a manager and explained what we were trying to do. she said, oh they stopped that.
now why would they stop that? it eliminates the exact change problem.

FACT checkers…ha!
FTA
Fact-checking organizations have grappled internally with the obvious but usually unspoken challenge in all such efforts: It is unrealistic to expect that any appointed group of fact-checkers has true expertise on all of the topics they litigate. Yet they do so every day.
Keeping this in mind, the biggest inherent flaw with efforts to fact-check information may lie in the qualifications, bias, and conflicts of interest among the ranks of the fact-checkers themselves. One example is the fact-checking nonprofit First Draft, started by Google at the beginning of the 2016 election cycle. Google is owned by Alphabet, Inc. Alphabet executives and employees comprise a politically active group that ranks among the largest political donors to Democrats in the country. During the 2016 campaign, Alphabet was led by an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter and campaign volunteer, executive chairman Eric Schmidt.
First Draft is also supported by an array of liberal companies and nonprofits, including the Ford Foundation and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations. First Draft tends to fact-check topics in a vein that’s consistent with its major donors’ opinions and interests.
18 of the 20 members of Facebook’s oversight board members have ties to Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which have spent billions of dollars on global initiatives aggressively advocating for the progressive side on topics ranging from immigration policy and climate to abortion, gender, and racial policies.

NurseSusy

From Rush’s show yesterday–
“Now Andrew Cuomo is worried that people aren’t gonna be coming back to New York, that businesses aren’t gonna be coming back, you know why? Because people have figured out they don’t have to be in New York to work in New York, and they don’t have to be in New York and pay exorbitant real estate prices to work in New York, they don’t have to be there. He’s very worried that the tax base is lost.”
This is spot on. Mid-July I was flying to Washington D.C. from Houston, and my seatmate (one seat between us & wearing masks) told me she was going to D.C. to put her apartment stuff in storage and prepare her work office for workers to come get their stuff as all were remotely working. She was remotely working in Houston and returning there to work remotely indefinitely. I did not ask what her job was and she didn’t volunteer.
I am sure that there are thousands doing this and with the “peaceful demonstrations” in city centers with the murals painted and statures gone, workers will not be returning either. The cities tout their “cultural” offerings with museums, theaters, and restaurants. The most leftist liberal media headquarters are in these big cities. These “cultural” meccas also have the largest sidewalk community (homeless) populations.
My experience has been that people working in these fields tend to be outspoken liberals and SJWs, and the restaurants are magnets for illegal alien workers (read Anthony Bourdain’s books). I am still incensed at VP Pence’s treatment by the actors in the play Hamilton. I refuse to watch it even if free on TV.

Deplorable Patriot

Some of us actually tolerate the liberal nuttiness for access to the cultural institutions. In order to survive as a classical musician, you pretty much have to be in the cities or have access to them.
And I believe part of the downward spiral in culture is lack of access to fine art. Not many here will agree, but I can make a case for it.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes. We need more literal culture warriors who – even just through silence – make right-culture more appealing than woke culture bent on self-destruction. Create the alternative that speaks for itself by simply being – NOW.

Gail Combs

“….part of the downward spiral in culture is lack of access to fine art….”
No it was the DELIBERATE ATTACK on Fine Art!
THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963 (Read all 45 and you will see they have ACHIEVED ALL OF THEM! 😱 )

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda….
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
.
.
.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc….

Deplorable Patriot

My point is that ACCESS is limited – and a lot of Americans just don’t care. Great art is still out there, but it is not in the sight or means of the vast majority of Americans who don’t see its worth because they’ve never been exposed. It’s not just the ephemeral, but the historic record.

Gail Combs

That is why I included SCHOOLS.
As a kid we went to museums as school trips. I was living near White Plains so we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Natural History every year. We had ‘art appreciation classes’ in music and art too as a required courses.
Once the Commies get control that DIES…. Even the great pictures in kids books got ‘updated’ to CRUD and what they did to music was HORRIBLE.

https://gesara.news/mint-closes-new-coin-images/
Look at the date of the closing of the mint. This announcement was for public tours but when banks tried to order coins – they have been told the mint is closed.
View of new 2020 $1 coins being minted:
They don’t look like anything we’ve seen before. These coins started in 2018 … could this be in preparation for NESARA?
Think about this – paper money is easy to reprint, but coinage has to be minted… could it be that the mint was closed to re-tool and prepare to mint new coinage? Could it be that coins have been short due to the need for the metal to re-produce coinage?
There is a lot of stuff being blamed on the Virus – is the coin shortage really due to COVID??

Dollar coin is increasingly playful – these images on a predictable path of technological celebration, as POTUS is working to revive Kennedy-era thinking.
I’m not seeing anything that worries me, but I would not be surprised if pennies were phased out and dollar coins became the new quarters of real life.

Deplorable Patriot

I know there’s been a desire to phase out paper ones for quite a while, and the population resists it. I’ve traveled enough, frankly, a dollar coin doesn’t bug me. I think it may be time to deposit all this change we have around here, though.

Teagan

It’s the weight, the bulk and, for some people, the inability to see the small print on the coins. Personally, I much prefer paper, especially if you are “Storing” it.

Deplorable Patriot

I really would prefer coins. Dollar readers are less fickle with coins.

TheseTruths

Part of a plan to do away with the Fed?

Deplorable Patriot

After a fashion, yes. For a couple years on the chat boards there’s been rumors of a new currency backed in gold in accordance with NESERA Law, which may or may not exist. The reality is that the 16th amendment was not actually ratified and there is some evidence that the 17th wasn’t either. So, Mnuchin is moving to absorb the fed, it is assumed.
I’m just watching for now, but there are indications that the something big promised us may be this. Moves are being made in the gold and silver markets that indicate something is up.

More often than not, experience tells “knowledge” to take a hike.

Teagan

There’s been a movement for several years now to give “life (career) experience” people accreditation to reach in various higher learning institutions, and not insisting on teaching credentials. Experience over theory. In general I agree; however, there’s a lot to be said about basic teaching skills, especially how to create the right kind of exam.
As we know just in current political polls, asking the right questions is critical for a fair measurement of learning.

y’all are gonna want to read this zeroHedge piece
FTA
…”Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Wednesday that Democrats “continue to push their $3 trillion-dollar wish-list that even their own Democratic colleagues brushed off as absurd.”
According to Meadows, the concessions made by the White House are “far more substantial” than those made by Democrats.
* * *
In classic Trump Administration form, President Trump and his aides are trying to pressure Democrats into caving and supporting the White House’s trillion-dollar stimulus plan that would restore the additional $600 weekly unemployment benefit, by seeking to convince the leadership that they will try to cut them out of the deal entirely.
Yesterday afternoon, Politico reported that team Trump was looking into using an executive order to re-appropriate money already appropriated by Congress and instead redirect it toward restoring the federal money for the unemployed, as well as potentially restoring the federal moratorium on evictions. Last night, Trump told reporters that yes, all of this was true – except that the team was also considering a suspension of payroll taxes, something the president has long insisted upon, despite the fact that there’s almost no support for the proposal in Congress.
Prodded about all of this on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning, Trump again insisted that for all the help he was getting from the Democrats, he “may do it myself.”
“Well, I may do it myself,” Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends on Wednesday. “I have the right to suspend it, and I may do it myself – I have the absolute right to suspend the payroll.”
And now, with the possibility of an executive order eliciting the typical “he can’t do that!” reaction from the mainstream press, Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino – who we suddenly need to pay attention to again following his reports on TikTok last Friday – has just tweeted that not only is Trump 100% going for it with the executive order strategy (he’s seriously considering an executive order to extend the stimulus bill, but without any involvement from Congress), the president also thinks he can get Microsoft and TikTok to pay the US government as part of a deal.”

On March 23, the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy requested an emergency regulation from Governor Steve Sisolak to limit the prescribing of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for use treating and preventing COVID-19. The emergency regulation was signed by Governor Sisolak later that day, going into effect immediately.
On July 21, the Nevada Board of Pharmacy noted that the emergency regulation had expired and was no longer in effect.
What this means for people with lupus
With the expiration of the emergency regulation, Nevada does not currently have any policies regarding the prescribing or dispensing of chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.
Last updated: July 30, 2020

kalbokalbs

Appreciate the information.
Dailyt email to idiot Sisolak hammers on making HCQ available for Covid treatment (in and out patient) and as a preventive. Won’t do any good, but I do email the asshoe daily.
The Lupus folks are full of shit. There is no shortage of HCQ. Simply don’t buy it.
HCQ is easily available. IF not through regular chanels, such as pharmacies ordering then obvious fixes are available.
– NV FEMA cazar call FEMA and ask for help.
– Asshoe Sisolak call either VP Pence or President Trump with a HCQ request. It would be filled, immediately.
– IF NV Fema or shithead Sisolak didn’r get the HCQ needed, all they have to do is call the YSM, Wacky Jacky or Masto. PRESTO, HCQ would be made available quickly.
Since MARCH, the Sisolak HCQ hoarding has been wholly ignorant, purely driven by politics.

bakocarl

I never did and don’t buy the Lupus/RA fears or claims of shortages of HCQ.
My point is that the Lupus Foundation of America says that since 21 Jul, there are no restrictions on HCQ from the asshoe Gov. So, Nevada doctors should be able to script HCQ and Nevada pharmacies issue HCQ for CHICOM-19 without Nevada state government intervention.

kalbokalbs

Yes. Lupus and asshoe Sisloak full of it.
LAst I heard, HCQ was ok in NV for in patient use only.
Out patients have to wait until they are on their death bed, admitted to a hospital to get HCQ.
We both know, HCQ is most effective as a preventive or within the first 1-6 days of Covid.
Sisolak continues to act as if he hates Nevadans.

kalbokalbs

Just for fun, sent shithead Sisolak another email driving the need for HCQ as a preventive and to treat both in and out Covid patients.

Blackstone to acquire http://Ancestry.com for $4.7 billion https://reut.rs/3gwwPRp

FTA:
(Reuters) – Blackstone Group Inc (BX.N) said on Wednesday it agreed to acquire genealogy provider Ancestry.com Inc from private equity rivals for $4.7 billion, including debt, placing a big bet on family-tree chasing as well as personalized medicine.
Ancestry.com is the world’s largest provider of DNA services, allowing customers to trace their genealogy and identify genetic health risks with tests sent to their home.
Blackstone is hoping that more consumers staying at home amid the COVID-19 pandemic will turn to Ancestry.com for its services….
The deal is Blackstone’s first acquisition out of Blackstone Capital Partners VIII, the largest-ever private equity fund that raised $26 billion from investors last year.
Ancestry.com has more than 3 million paying customers in about 30 countries, and earns more than $1 billion in annual revenue. Launched in 1996 as a family history website, it harnessed advances in DNA testing and mobile phone apps in the following two decades to expand its offerings.
Blackstone is buying Ancestry.com from private equity firms Silver Lake, Spectrum Equity and Permira. Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, another Ancestry.com investor, said it will continue to maintain a significant minority stake in the company.
The acquisition’s price tag represents a significant jump to Ancestry.com’s valuation from four years ago, when Silver Lake and GIC invested in the Lehi, Utah-based company at a $2.6 billion valuation.

Deplorable Patriot

From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blackstone_Group
The Blackstone Group Inc. is an American multinational private equity alternative investment management and financial services firm based in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. As the largest alternative investment firm in the world,[4] Blackstone specializes in private equity, credit, and hedge fund investment strategies.[5]
Blackstone’s private equity business has been one of the largest investors in leveraged buyouts in the last decade, while its real estate business has actively acquired commercial real estate. Since its inception, Blackstone has invested in such notable companies as Hilton Worldwide, Merlin Entertainments Group, Performance Food Group, EQ Office, Republic Services, AlliedBarton, United Biscuits, Freescale Semiconductor, Vivint,[6] and Travelport.[7]
Blackstone was founded in 1985 as a mergers and acquisitions firm by Peter G. Peterson and Stephen A. Schwarzman, who had previously worked together at Lehman Brothers. In 2007, Blackstone became a public company with a $4 billion IPO, becoming one of the first major private equity firms to list shares in its management company on the public stock market.[8] Blackstone is headquartered at 345 Park Avenue in Manhattan, with eight additional offices in the United States, as well as offices in Dublin, Düsseldorf, London, Luxembourg, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Dubai.[9]
As of 2019, the company’s total assets under management were approximately US$545 billion.[10]:14 In April 2019, Blackstone disclosed it was converting to a corporation from a publicly traded partnership.[11]

singularzoe

Seem to remember Blackstone is chabal or something. Does anyone have any info? Think Ancestry is somehow connected with mormons.

holley101

FamilySearch.org is a Mormon site. The Mormon Church provides free Ancestry memberships for its church members, but not sure of an affiliation beyond that.
For some reason tracing families is very important to the Mormons. I only know this because I did a lot of geneology work for a family member who converted to Mormonism.

Vatican Drops God to Reach Wider Audience
VATICAN CITY (ChurchMilitant.com) – The Vatican omitted “God” from a 4,000-word document on the Wuhan virus pandemic in order to reach “the widest possible audience,” Church officials claimed in a statement published Thursday.
“We want to enter human situations, reading them in the light of faith and in a way that speaks to the widest possible audience — to believers and non-believers, to all men and women ‘of goodwill,'” Pontifical Academy for Life spokesman Fabrizio Mastrofini argued.

Michelle Obama Says She’s Suffering From “Low-Grade Depression” – Blames President Trump
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/08/michelle-obama-says-suffering-low-grade-depression-blames-president-trump/
From the article:
__________
Obama said she is suffering “low-grade depression” because of quarantine, ‘racial strife’ and of course the “hypocrisy” of the Trump Admin.
I’m waking up in the middle of the night because I’m worrying about something or there’s a heaviness,” she said.
“I try to make sure I get a workout in, although there have been periods throughout this quarantine, where I just have felt too low,” she added.
Obama said she has been going through “those emotional highs and lows that I think everybody feels, where you just don’t feel yourself.”
“These are not, they are not fulfilling times, spiritually,” she said. “I know that I am dealing with some form of low-grade depression.
“Not just because of the quarantine, but because of the racial strife, and just seeing this administration, watching the hypocrisy of it, day in and day out, is dispiriting.”
Michelle Obama said it is “exhausting” to be “waking up to yet another story of a black man or a black person somehow being dehumanized, or hurt, or killed, or falsely accused of something.”
“And it has led to a weight that I haven’t felt in my life, in a while,” she said.
She also praised the violent rioters destroying cities.

A directed-energy weapon (DEW) is a ranged weapon that damages its target with highly focused energy, including laser, microwaves and particle beams. Potential applications of this technology include weapons that target personnel, missiles, vehicles, and optical devices.[1][2]
In the United States, the Pentagon, DARPA, the Air Force Research Laboratory, United States Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center, and the Naval Research Laboratory are researching directed-energy weapons and railguns to counter ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles, and hypersonic glide vehicles. These systems of missile defense are expected to come online no sooner than the mid to late-2020s.[3]
Russia,[4][5][6] China,[7][8][9][10] India,[11] and the United Kingdom[12][13] are also developing directed-energy weapons while Iran[14][15][16][17] and Turkey have directed-energy weapons in active service[18][19][20] and the first usage of directed-energy weapons in a combat was claimed to have been happened in Libya in August 2019 by Turkey which claimed to use the ALKA Directed-energy weapon.[21][22]
After decades of research and development, directed-energy weapons are still at the experimental stage and it remains to be seen if or when they will be deployed as practical, high-performance military weapons.[23][24]

Time to start using his Parler account?

Yes, please!
If Pres Trump switched to Parler…Twitter’s stock would start tanking.
Even if he just did it for a few weeks.
Twitter’s stock would tank.
Millions of eyeballs would leave twitter and follow P45 to Parler.

Miss Lindsey on Hannity, he’s calling the case agents who figured out the dossier was bunk to ask them who, if anyone they told. He’s calling Comey in September. Everybody hates Comey! Start stockpiling 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

wheatietoo

Maybe that’s their plan…everybody blames Comey.
Methinks Comey’s ‘suicide’ is being scheduled for him.
Everybody blames Comey, then Comey becomes so distraught that he commits suicide.

kalbokalbs

Yates blames Comey. Comey is going to blame XYZ. XYZ will blame ABC. ABC will blame…
Congress accomplishes NOTHING. Yates early August. Comey September. At this rate President Trump will be on his third term before Congress admits they are dysfunctional.
We NEED Durham delivering indictments.

…The only potentially applicable part of 28 U.S.C. 455 includes mandatory recusal “where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding.”

The order is interesting because the briefing already raises bias, but the order is preparing for argument on whether this was not just a case of judicial error but a matter for mandatory disqualification. It is the difference between judging wrong and the wrong judge in a case.

The en banc could ask why it should not send the case back for a hearing (reversing the dismissal order of the panel) but remove Sullivan as the judge. It then reaffirms the power of the trial court while reinforcing the need for judicial impartiality…

…such an order could also include instruction to bar Sullivan’s highly irregular use of a third party to argument and note the clarity of the legal standard strongly favoring dismissal in such circumstances.

Shut up and play your songs
Neil Young sues Trump campaign, deriding use of famous tunes

wheatietoo

I’m trying to think of which Neil Young song that the campaign has used.
🤔❔

wheatietoo

Okay, I did a bit of searching…and it’s the ‘Rockin In The Free World’ song.
Neil Young is a Canadian, btw.
I had forgotten that.

pgroup

Stupid. All songs released on a record company label are controlled by ASCAP or BMI. All someone has to do is pay the royalties for each use of the song and it’s good to go.
He should shut up and sing. Or play an instrument. Or clean the cat’s litter box.

How has President Trump not gone completely off the rails & ballistic by now? Everyone in Washington is against the man. Every waking hour he is taking flak & enemy fire, from all sides. Yet he hangs in there. Maintains composure. Trump must have nerves of steel. How’s he do it?

TheseTruths

I don’t know how he does it, but he also operates with the appearance of unflappable, supreme confidence. Rightly or wrongly, I attribute that to his temperament as well as his planning and his knowledge that the plans are progressing as intended.

Wow, that’s a lot of 💰. (Is any amount enough to risk your life by ratting on people who would have no scruples about killing you?) I can see people who are in positions of power, or who operate on the fringes of power in other countries, knowing a great deal. I hope there will be some takers.
