Dear KAG: 20210302 Open Thread

Cover image: Summer Breeze by Robert Reid.

Today I would like to bring up confirmation bias and unrealistic expectations that arise from them.

First a quick explanation of what confirmation bias is:

Confirmation bias, a phrase coined by English psychologist Peter Wason, is the tendency of people to favor information that confirms or strengthens their beliefs or values, and is difficult to dislodge once affirmed.[2] Confirmation bias is an example of a cognitive bias.

Confirmation bias (or confirmatory bias) has also been termed myside bias.[Note 1] “Congeniality bias” has also been used.[3]

Confirmation biases are effects in information processing. They differ from what is sometimes called the behavioral confirmation effect, commonly known as self-fulfilling prophecy, in which a person’s expectations influence their own behavior, bringing about the expected result.[4]

Some psychologists restrict the term “confirmation bias” to selective collection of evidence that supports what one already believes while ignoring or rejecting evidence that supports a different conclusion. Others apply the term more broadly to the tendency to preserve one’s existing beliefs when searching for evidence, interpreting it, or recalling it from memory.[5][Note 2]

Confirmation bias is a result of automatic, unintentional strategies rather than deliberate deception.[6][7] Confirmation bias cannot be avoided or eliminated entirely, but only managed by improving education and critical thinking skills.

Confirmation bias is a broad construct that has a number of possible explanations, namely: hypothesis-testing by falsification, hypothesis testing by positive test strategy, and information processing explanations.

Essentially, when looking at the movement which swept so many of us up in the last three years, now that things are looking sour on the surface, confirmation bias, and judging without a full picture of information is threatening to divide the movement. In many ways, it already has.

I won’t elaborate on that point. But, I will say rather emphatically, that this movement, this Make America Great Again throwing off the chains that bind economic expansion, industrial might and the draining of the swamp is just part of the puzzle in the fight. There’s a lot more out there, particularly when it comes to the self-perpetuation of corruption in governments around the world. That has to be rooted out so that we don’t find ourselves in this position again. Just because we don’t see it happening, doesn’t mean it isn’t.

It is bigger than any one person, or one group of people, and is going to take the efforts of those who are selfless in the fight and who stick to their guns IN the fight rather than allowing the human condition to interfere.

We are all where God needs us in this effort, including those who do not believe. Their disbelief forces those of us who do to sharpen our apologetics and to learn more than was taught us.

It also forces many of us to diversify our information sources and to be always on the lookout for tidbits that help the puzzle come together.

That being said, the epicenter of hopium – a single, VERY connected individual who likes classic, fast sport cars, and has led a very interesting life – held a summit of sorts last weekend. He talks about it at length in an interview with yet another of the diverse hopium channels, and in the first ten minutes drops a bombshell about President Donald Trump that, if it’s true, lends another tidbit to the notion that REALPOTUS was spotted for the job decades ago, and was coached by a late former president as to how the Deep State and the swamp were going to try to take him down…DECADES ago. If it’s true, that little factoid is a stunner.

There are other podcasts that talk about insider intelligence of what happened in the last week. When the automated clearinghouse – the Federal Reserve’s ACH system – went down, there was a reason. It has not been announced to the general public, but one podcaster has a source that told him what happened, and it’s all good.

That podcaster, like the epicenter of hopium, is only as good as his sources. At this point, we have no idea what is being put out as purposeful disinformation to get the other side to react.

The thing is, there have to be a lot of sources to get a complete picture. Those guys know that and put it out for all to see, and you don’t ever know where that one piece of information that ties everything together is going to surface.

Searching out sources to reinforce what we already think about the whole situation is not going to get to the whole truth. None of it is going down then way any of us thought it would. We simply don’t know the breadth and depth of what is being fought.

And we’re not going to, either, until it’s all over.

That’s my buck-fifty on the confirmation bias that’s tearing much of the movement apart.

Just a reminder:

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

And now for something completely different.

Your weekly reminder to take the pledge:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.

The readings and reflection below are not from today, Tuesday, March 2, but from yesterday. In contemplating the words written above, these selections are more meaningful.

DANIEL 9:4-10

4I prayed to the LORD, my God, and confessed, “Ah, Lord, great and awesome God, you who keep your merciful covenant toward those who love you and observe your commandments! 5We have sinned, been wicked and done evil; we have rebelled and departed from your commandments and your laws. 6We have not obeyed your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers, and all the people of the land. 7Justice, O Lord, is on your side; we are shamefaced even to this day: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel, near and far, in all the countries to which you have scattered them because of their treachery toward you. 8O LORD, we are shamefaced, like our kings, our princes, and our fathers, for having sinned against you. 9But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness! Yet we rebelled against you 10and paid no heed to your command, O LORD, our God, to live by the law you gave us through your servants the prophets.

LUKE 6:36-38

36Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 37“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

Listen with an Open Heart

Our family had dinner together every night when I was growing up. I remember my father listening to everything about our days with interest – and always with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. We freely shared everything because there was never and judgement or criticism frim my father.

Now, I look back on this memory with different eyes; he was a human resources manager. I can only imagine every thing that happened to him during the workday! But I also remember that he never really mentioned himself; the focus was on interacting with us.

In today’s Gospel. Jesus tells his disciples: stop judging and you will not be judged. The only way to stop judging is to truly listen to others, to really hear them, without imposing our own thoughts or perspectives. To “stop judging” is the very foundation of empathy, and my father exemplified this at work and at home.

Like my father, when we listen we open our hearts to those around us. And as we prepare ourselves to let go of our own point of view, we are better able to hear what God is really saying to us in our lives.

Reflection based on Luke 6: 36-38 by Regina Lawlor Andrews, the Magnificat Lenten Companion, 2021

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

First tonight? Now to go read the post.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

You definitely have a bias toward first post, but I have a bias toward first like!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

First comment. Whatever!  😉 

pgroup2

Well, I have a bias in favor of this blog and DP has confirmed it. 😉

cthulhu

For generations over centuries, women would talk about children “just sprouting up” and growing overnight. When modern medicine got rolling, this was all ascribed to “old wives’ tales”…..

Then, IIRC in the 90s, someone measured it.

Turns out that kids go along, gaining body mass, organizing their bodies and improving their skills. Then, they start getting a little cranky for a couple of days — and will grow maybe 1/4” taller literally overnight.

It’s not that things weren’t happening when all appeared calm, and it’s not like the growth spurts could occur in a vacuum. But the models all said everything happens all at once in smooth progression.

Those models were obviously wrong.

I see MAGA — and the Cabal’s treason — as currently being in “quiet times”. What is happening today is by-and-large invisible to the outside observer. We are only 40 days into this reign of abomination….we may yet be surprised by events.

pgroup2

Very profound. No sarc for this one.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Agreed! It’s a real growth model!

Deplorable Patriot

Actually, the hopium epicenter described the current situation like the leadup to a start of a drag race. Everybody’s in place, the engines are revved, and all we’re waiting for is the Christmas Tree to give us the “GO”.

I agree with him.

Chris

Blessings your way DP, for answering the calling.

jamcooker

One of your best yet.

TheseTruths

This post is a good reminder that we have to have balance while looking at information. Being aware of the concept of confirmation bias, as well as how it might be affecting us, is so important. At the same time, there is interesting information out there. While it’s probably wise not to hang on every word, there is more going on in this world than we know.

Deplorable Patriot

And I didn’t even mention that a 747 with the presidential paint job was spotted at the Orlando airport on Sunday.

People on Telegram swear it was even if many doubters asked a lot of questions.

jamcooker

Hehehe. Pretty awesome, huh!

Deplorable Patriot

Yep

cthulhu

OK, so……looking for GrandmainTexas lab results for her feline…..

grandmaintexas

Hey. He goes in tomorrow, or rather this morning, first thing.

I will let you know when I find out lab results.

cthulhu

Okey-dokey. And snag those previous lab results, too.

Let’s fix your furry friend up!

grandmaintexas

Ok. I’m ready for this to be fixed for good. He pees in the tub and in corners and all over the dirty laundry when he gets these things.

cthulhu

You could fix that right quick by just leaving him outside.

Let’s fix the problem to be fixing the problem, not just to avoid symptoms.

grandmaintexas

The coyotes would have him for a snack.

cthulhu

Mind you, that would also fix the symptoms…..let’s get those labs, and review some of previous suggestions, and get your fuzzy boy shaped-up and flying right, so he can be a happy cat and you can be a happy owner.

cthulhu

Side note — the first death jokes in the Alice books are when Alice is talking to Humpty-Dumpty:

‘Seven years and six months!’ Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully. ‘An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you’d asked my advice, I’d have said “Leave off at seven”—but it’s too late now.’

‘I never ask advice about growing,’ Alice said indignantly.

‘Too proud?’ the other inquired.

Alice felt even more indignant at this suggestion. ‘I mean,’ she said, ‘that one can’t help growing older.’

One can’t, perhaps,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘but two can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.’

cthulhu

Epstein didn’t leave off at 66 himself!

grandmaintexas

Ha! It would, but he’s almost my favorite, though I swear I don’t have favorites. 😉

Yes! Looking forward to his getting better.

scott467

“Ha! It would, but he’s almost my favorite, though I swear I don’t have favorites.”

___________

The favorites always know.

I was my Grandma’s favorite. She tried to hide it, but she wasn’t very good at it 😁

grandmaintexas

Bet she was a good Grandma. 👵

scott467

Yes she was, I miss her and still think about her often 🙂

cthulhu

My closest memories of my grandma were when she was in San Diego (my grandparents crossed the continent six times). One memory was when she made vanilla icing using tablespoons instead of teaspoons. It was a little strange, but very nice.

Another time, my entire family was visiting, and she’d left a pan of grease on a hot burner. I smelled the smoke first, but my dad jumped up and dashed in the kitchen, opened the kitchen door to the front, and threw the pan out onto the sidewalk. Had there been anyone walking their dog on the sidewalk, they could have been napalmed.

grandmaintexas

Okay. Diagnosis is now cystitis. Different vet…this one has been in practice for 35 years. Said it was not too common for males to have UTIs. I got one number out of her, which was his gravity…1060. Not good but she said he is healthy otherwise.

So, steroid to help with inflammation and then diet change.

When I got him home I opened up a can of salmon and he drank about 2 ounces of the juice and ate a little meat.

Vet suggested Royal Canin food at a whopping $89 for 5 pounds of food. 🙄

So, the upshot is that he needs lots more liquids. She said very little blood in urine so unless he stops eating he should get better on a wet diet….which he already has partially.

Fingers crossed.

cthulhu

That would presumably be “urine specific gravity”, with a result of 1.060.

For humans, “If you have a specific gravity of urine under 1.030, it means you are still within the normal range. Discussing specific gravity units with your doctor can help give you a better understanding of what is and is not acceptable.In order to understand urine concentrations, just think about how much darker your urine looks if you haven’t had anything to drink for some time. Urine specific gravity levels will be lower if your urine is lighter and you are well hydrated. It is important to keep in mind that precise measurement of urine concentration can’t be determined by just looking at the color.

High urine specific gravity can be an indication that you have extra substances in your urine—these substances could be glucose, bilirubin, red blood cells, white blood cells, crystals, bacteria, or even protein. Some conditions allow proteins to pass through the filters in kidneys, producing protein in the urine. Diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, Berger’s disease, Hodgkin’s disease, leukemia, and lupus can cause elevated levels of protein in the urine.

Abnormal or increased urine specific gravity tests can be the result of many different health issues. Below we outline various causes—some are common, while others are rare:

  • Dehydration
  • Addison’s disease
  • Heart failure
  • Shock
  • Glucosuria
  • Renal arterial stenosis
  • SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion)

cthulhu

I’m somewhat miffed that the vet is playing keepaway with lab results.

I think Wolf’s recommendations from yesterday look pretty good.

grandmaintexas

Yeah, that’s what the vet told me in a roundabout way. You explained it better.

cthulhu

Let’s hydrate your fuzzy friend a bit and monitor where he goes. Wolf’s suggestions from a while back look good. Let’s do some changes and check back in a couple.

grandmaintexas

I’m on it. Vet pooh-poohed fish oil, but said it wouldn’t hurt. Did say canned food and water from the cans of fish and chicken. My cats love salmon, tuna, chicken, and even chub. Not fish everyday, so chicken in between.

I’m going tobhave to take up the kibble at night so they are good and hungry in the morning.

Also will pick up the less expensive kibble for urinary track health.

cthulhu

Still concerned about sugar in the output (diabetes) — someone commented about obligate carnivores and they weren’t wrong. But there is a lot of good that can happen with a shift in diet.

Keep us posted, or we’ll start to fret.

grandmaintexas

I will! 👍

CMinTN

Mine did on the door rugs when she had it before. Good luck! You know it drives the poor things nuts too. Mine was very vocal about it. 😳

grandmaintexas

Yeah, he wants to be petted constantly.

jamcooker

Yeah, he’s not feeling good.

grandmaintexas

Vet visit notes above. 😀

jo biden didn’t win.

Sylvia Avery

DPat great and timely reminder. TY

cthulhu

Howya doin’ tonight?

Sylvia Avery

Ok. Just waiting on a midnight bandage change. 💝💝💝

cthulhu

Feeling any better?

Sylvia Avery

Yes thankfully.

cthulhu

Then our thoughts and prayers are being answered. Good to know.

Sylvia Avery

Oh yes. This was a bit of a miracle.

cthulhu

It is scary fast once it gets going.

pgroup2

Hey you! I still have no idea what happened to you and what happened to you once you went into the hospital.

Give a friend a quick summary.

Sylvia Avery

Flesh eating bacteria. Admitted through the ER by a vigilant doc whose gut told him something more was going on. He sent me for a CT scan instead of sending me home. Emergency surgery that night. All of the docs on this huge team believe they caught it just in the nick of time.

Can’t type much. IV limits movement. But I’m getting better every day. 💝💝♥

cthulhu

That is nasty, vicious, dangerous stuff. You are very lucky.

When the Fiancee got bent, we spent a couple of weeks hanging around the Kuakini Medical Center on Oahu. They use the chamber for DCS……and flesh-eating bacteria (hyperbaric oxygen). Heard a lot of “behind the scenes” stories about it.

Sylvia Avery

I wonder why they havent used it on me. Another question for the doc

cthulhu

I’d guess because you’re nowhere near a chamber.

The Kuakini chamber is really, really nice — it’s like a small airplane cabin. You could actually arrange to do surgical/medical procedures inside — and there’s a side airlock which is practically a chamber in in itself. Most hyperbaric chambers are more like large coffins.

Sylvia Avery

Ugh! I think we have one though but I’m a bit claustro.

cthulhu

Also, it should be noted that our time at the chamber was 25 years ago. Spraying it with Miracle Goo may be the more refined method of treatment.

cthulhu

Mind you, once we heard some of them, we were like….”could you use a little more bleach to disinfect this place???”

cthulhu

The doc needs some sort of bonus. This stuff is really very, very, very rare…..and takes off very, very, very quickly.

Sylvia Avery

He kind of had the sweats. He was going to send me home with an antibiotic and hot soaks for four days. He was so relieved he listened to his gut. Not as much as I was though
😳😳😳

cthulhu

Yeah, this crap can move like an inch an hour. Four days would have been very, very bad. Even sleeping overnight would have been very, very bad.

Sylvia Avery

I know. I still can’t believe it. Talk about dodging a bullet.

cthulhu

Bandage change done? Going ni-ni?

Sylvia Avery

Yes. Time for a little sleep.

cthulhu

Sleep well, our cherished lady of the singing shovel. Dream happy dreams and heal. May your morning bring you refreshment, comfort, renewed strength, and knowledge that your friends-in-a-box are praying for you, and God seems to be receiving these prayers with favor.

scott467

“He was going to send me home with an antibiotic and hot soaks for four days. He was so relieved he listened to his gut.”

Probably saw your shovel, and that made him think twice. 😉👍

Chris

Prayers sent Sylvia.

Aubergine

Glad to hear you are ok! I didn’t know what happened, either, somehow I missed it. Wow. God is great. Blessings!

cthulhu

Just as a casual aside, I went to Walmart today. I don’t go very often, and I’m frequently amazed (and just as frequently disturbed) by things I see. In no particular order….

55″+ Ultra 4K TVs for less than $500.

The entire sock aisle is in locked cabinets. And not a great selection.

In their house brand, packaging two micro-SD cards per one adapter.

A digital camera advertising 20 megapixels for about $35.

An employee pointing out a discarded wrapper from a stolen item.

The most ineffective cashier I have seen in a while — wanted to feel every item, then cram as much stuff as possible into bags. Had the impression they weren’t real good with spatial relationships.

A bunch of chromebooks (are they still a thing?).

Deplorable Patriot

In our local Walmart, it’s men’s under garments that are under lock and key. Don’t ask me why.

cthulhu

And panties are not? Hmmm….

Valerie Curren

can’t keep people from those emergency face masks!

gil00

Those are what get stolen. Btw, walmart is discontinuing selling dvds or blurays in stores.
They are going online only. I confirmed with my local bc weve been picking up movies every couple weeks since theyre not too expensive. They deleted most of the family films first.

The reason is millennials want to stream. Course the millennial who helped me understood when i complained little kids like discs, streaming doesn’t work for everyone, without a hard copy the film can be deleted or altered by your service, etc.

Aubergine

Those are the things the homeless steal.

cthulhu

On the subject of “Chromebooks a thing?” — Woot has a whole bunch of refurb’d Chromebooks on the cheap.

suzyqster58

I noticed yesterday the our Walmart has all the KY and other assorted lubricants under lock and key. I was thinking well that’s interesting. big time lube thefts happening? some kind of sex circle in my little town going on? I laughed and just shook my head and moved on down the isle.

gil00

They lock up everything now. The makeup and facial section is arranged with its own entrance and separate cashier within the store. You have to pay first if you want to get anything.

Deplorable Patriot

THis is an issue here as well. If I get there early enough, it’s open, but after about 10 in the morning, no.

gil00

Here its bc of the state laws essentially making theft not a crime. They lose 1000s a month.

cthulhu

You’re oversimplifying — thefts of less than $950 at any one time will not be researched or prosecuted. You could walk into the same store six times in one day and take $800 of merchandise each time and will not receive so much as a ticket.

gil00

You are right. And its awful.

singularzoe

Well, most seem to be off-line. Good morning. Sorry not to have been here when friends were online. Sylvia, so thankful you are beating the flesh-eating bacteria. So glad you had a good doc who knew wht he was doing. Good morning to all, and Biden didn’t win. D.P. I agree things are happening behind the that we can’t see.

cthulhu

Great to have you here, Zoe. And congrats, again, for saying what needed to be said on Rush’s show.

grandmaintexas

Wonderful post, DP. Thank you. I always come away with some inspiration and assurance.

Thanks, Steve that’s new to me…

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Just watched a lecture series on the solar system, one or two episodes per planet.

It’s from 2019, and I saw a lot of stuff I hadn’t been aware of (it did talk about the hexagon). I did see the bit about the hexagon whenever it was it became public, though!

I like the part where Bugs is playing and the phone (conveniently on the piano) rings. He answers it “Franz Liszt? Never hoid of him! ” and hangs up….

The clever creativity (indeed, genius) shown in those cartoons is far, far beyond any of the putrid, perverted, palaver produced today. Even the promo films as exemplified by “Hollywood Steps Out” (WB) and some of the Looney Tunes Classics series are incomparable.

Now, it seems all Hollywaste can do is (horrid) remakes, sequels, and prequels, as their ChiCom masters only know how to copy, but not create anything new. Much like THEIR master, Satan, (as shown by their mascot, the Dragon)…..

There’s actually a road act in the US for Bugs at the Movies. The Carl Stalling scores are played by the local symphony, and the cartoons are played on a big screen over the stage. It’s called Live to Projection.

When I went to see the show, there were A LOT of grandparents there with their grandkids. It’s a pretty cool way to get their feet wet listening to live symphonic music.

Cuppa Covfefe

That’s great! Both for the local symphonies, and the folks that get to see them and the wonderfully creative cartoons, neither of which many children would probably see today (at least live).

Ironic, too, being reminiscent of how silent movies had live music (usually a pianist or an organist) accompanying them. Also interesting how some of the great organs of the past were theatre organs. I know that at least a couple of the Fox Theatres had them (I think the one in Oakland, CA had one – not sure if it’s still there, with the denoument of Oakland, no thanks to Moonbeam Brown)…

Deplorable Patriot

Actually, the movie house where Carl Stalling got his start as a house organist is now Powell Symphony Hall here in STL.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Oddly reminiscent of how they do movie soundtracks. The movie plays on a screen as they play the score, presumably so the conductor can time things, or rather, see how he’s timing things.

Valerie Curren

Once the vaxx injuries start showing up in your local community, people will start to revolt. I wonder if that’s why the vaxx is so hard to get right now…

They are waiting for blowback and probably to assess the problems with the “therapy” itself.

Deplorable Patriot

Could be. For as many people with actual reactions, I’m seeing twice as many without them.

My worry is the summer when the aftermath begins.

Aubergine

That would still mean a third of people have a bad reaction. I doubt there’s even close to that many. If 5% of people have a really bad experience with the vaccine, that will pretty much do it for smart people. Dumb people will always just do what the “authorities” tell them to.

on the other hand, imo, these sexual harassment allegations are taking attention away from cuomo’s criminality regarding his intentional “mishandling” of the nursing home seniors, resulting in their deaths…and the emotional damages incurred by their families.

while obnoxious, odious and offensive…and for which cuomo should be held accountable and sued and resign/be canned…the sexual allegations pale in comparison to what he did, intentionally, to the seniors in those nursing homes.

cuomo is a crude, uncouth, abusive little tyrant…everything he touches becomes tainted with his unfunny malignant personality.

but he must be held to the fire, relentlessly, for the crimes he committed against those innocent seniors & their families.

keep the spotlights on that.

let the bastard squirm under pressure for his disgusting sexual crap…

but do not let up on the senior abuse.

Coldeadhands

Let’s see…on the one hand we’ve got sexual harassment. On the other we’ve got mass murder…I think I would take flak for sexual harassment for months on end over the alternative.

Yes democratic party needs to pay reparation. All those people who held slaves should also pay. I think it is unjust to ask people to pay who never had slaves whose family never had slaves. Those who benefited from slaves should pay.

The northern states should not they gave their lives in fighting to free the slaves.
The church I attendet was part of the railroad who saved escaping slaves. We have a hidden place in the church where they hid when authorities looked for them.

Again today democrats committing the same crime again with illegals. They are the modern slaves also those who are being brought here against their will have to work as sex slaves or on farms. We need to keep track who those people are so they too can pay reparation.

FREE THE BASTARDI!!!!

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/03/01/fringe-or-reasonable-bastardi-on-the-firing-line/

A recent E&E News article, “Fringe weatherman advised Abbott before deadly Texas storm” (February 25, 2021), is the latest marginalization job on a “climate science critic.” Author Scott Walderman begins his piece as follows:

Days before a historic snowstorm crippled his home state, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) sought advice from an unusual source: Joe Bastardi, the go-to weather forecaster of Fox News host Sean Hannity.

The hit piece (against Bastardi, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, and Abbott) goes downhill from there with ad hominem.

An important takeaway from the Great Texas Blackout is that weathermen and weatherwomen are the experts, not climate scientists whose warmer-winter predictions proved to be a great distraction.

It was supposed to be a warm 2020/2021 winter Texas-way, said the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (U.S. Winter Outlook: Cooler North, warmer South with ongoing La Nina).

And winters in general are supposed to be warmer with less extreme cold events, according to climate models. As flagged by Bjorn Lomborg, all climate models predict fewer cold days and cold nights. He links to “Future extreme climate changes linked to global warming intensity” [Science Bulletin (December 30, 2017), where the authors state:

Based on the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) daily dataset … under the Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario … [c]old extremes decreaseand warm extremes increase in a warmer world, and cold extremes tend to be more sensitive to global warming than the warm ones.

But, but … it’s global weirding, John Kerry and the MSM now insist, a catch-all phrase when global warming predictions result in anomalies. Lomborg’s tweet deserves the last word:

How is this science? Global warming is rebranded “global weirding.” CBS & Kerry wants you to believe climate change also leads to *colder* temperatures. Of course, convenient to blame everything on climate But wrong.

MAGA Mom

All of these are terrible and glad they are being brought to justice. However, these are not all recent cases.

I don’t have time to check them all but saw the Davidson County TN case and knew that was from over 15 yrs ago. (2005)
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1402657/posts

If that one is from 15 yrs ago and yet added to a list with the framing to make it seem that these are all recent then there are probably others that are added to the list to inflate #s so that it seems like “breaking news” and more happening on this issue than there is.

Why would they include a case from 15 yrs ago in this narrative? Weird!

Under President Trump there were many more prosecutions than under other Presidents – why not focus on current/recent cases?

Another example of trust but verify …
And if a “news” source creates a narrative ask Why? and is their narrative true if their evidence isn’t? And are they are trustworthy source if they do things such as this type of framing?

MAGA Mom

Checked a few more and so far none are recent or as the link put it: “A list of pedophiles became unsealed and here’s what’s been happening while you all were distracted”. Were they trying to imply this was recent and part of the sealed indictments we have been hearing about?

Democratic Illinois State Representative, Keith Farnham – case was from 2014 & he died in 2017

Democratic California Congressman, Tony Cárdenas – case from 2019, important to note he was never “indicted”/charged. It was a civil suit that was later dropped and seems to have been politically motivated smear. May have been true … but is not what the above quoted list intimates nor what it actually states.

Democratic activist, Andrew Douglas Reed – 2007

Democratic party leader for Victoria County, Texas, Stephen Jabbour, – 2011

Glad each and every one these people were caught and prosecuted … but they are not recent unsealed indictments.

Trust but verify …

Boris Johnson has turned out to be an utter disaster for England.
The UK can have him as their saviour.

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/03/02/sister-flatulenta-of-the-breath-of-heaven/

Boris Johnson, ambitiously described as a Prime Minister, has flatulently tried and humiliatingly failed to persuade the Security Council of the Untied Nations that “Cloimate Chynge is a threat to our security”. That he should thus have wasted the first opportunity in three decades for Britain to chair the Security Council shows how poor is his judgment both about matters of science and about what does and does not constitute a threat to national and international security.

Does this look like a Prime Minister?

Sister Flatulenta of the Breath of Heaven, as Jacob Rees-Mogg calls him, delivered what the late Professor Sir Denis Page, the immensely grand Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Cambridge, used to describe in his lectures as a “gaseous halation”.

Boris hemmingly-hawingly whiffled and waffled that some would argue “all this – er – green stuff from a – ah – bunch of tree-hugging tofu-munchers” is not a suitable subject for a UN meeting, but “I couldn’t – um – disagree more profoundly”. He opined that the Security Council needed to “act on cloimate chynge to protect “global peace, security and stability”, and motherhood an’ apple pah an’ all.

“Whether you like it or not, it is a matter of when, not if, your country and your people will have to deal with the security impact of cloimate chynge.”

HUMAN AND CHILD TRAFFICKING VERSUS UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN PROCESSING SYSTEMS?
march 2, 2021 the marshall report

https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2021/03/02/human-and-child-trafficking-versus-unaccompanied-children-processing-systems/

Conflicting messages like these are what make people go…”What the heck is going on?” The CEO of the US, Inc. had a virtual zoom call with the President of Mexico today. At the same time there was an unusual White House Press Conference where unaccompanied children were told to not try to cross the borders at this time because systems were not in place. These events followed President Trump’s speech yesterday at CPAC. I wonder if these unaccompanied children got the message? Who is with them it they are UNACCOMPANIED? I’m sure this makes sense, somehow. But, how?

Let’s start with the CEO of US, Inc. and his call to Mexico first...simply because it seems to set the stage.No….let’s start with what President Trump said first.

Thank you, sincerely, for this post, DP – a great reminder of how easily we can get sucked into believing what we ‘hope’ to be true.

No doubt there is a battle going on – an age old battle between good and evil!

And yet – we frequently find ourselves reminding ourselves – if it is too good to be true – it probably is not true.

I find comfort in the fact that God is in charge – only He knows what is really going on.

Deplorable Patriot

Actually, I wasn’t really aiming at the “hope” people. It’s the naysayers who dismiss sources out of hand. Of course, I’m guilty of that for a few of the old guard in conspiracy, and those protecting their space in the insider arena, but, still, the actual goings on and things to come we aren’t going to know until it’s over. THe enemy can’t get wind of what’s coming.

Oh, ok – understand – agree about the naysayers – true – we will not know until it is over – and even then – we might still be discussing how it all went down for years to come – and no – the enemy must not know what is coming until we are ‘over the target’ and there is no escape.

Ever heard of the “Principle of Acquiescence”?

It’s when one is wronged … but unless one DOES something about it, then one is SOL.

It transposes the burden onto the person wronged, from the wrong-doer.

It translates into “Well, if you got screwed, and haven’t DONE anything about it … well, it’s YOU who are at fault.

AFAIK, this is actually codified into law …

And it’s another way where the playing field is tilted from the average person toward the powerful (the bully class)

A working dad, his wife and family, barely making ends meet, whose house is stolen by the city thru eminent domain claiming it is “dilapidated” b/c they can’t afford to paint it is the perfect example.

If he can’t paint his house, he sure isn’t going to have the money to hire a lawyer. And likely his support network is far too small to know someone who will defend him. He’s just one of the “little people”. . .

Have you seen the movie Amistad? It exposes the problems with our legal system, in that one may have to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court (yeah! how’s THAT goin’ for us!) to get real justice.

Only when one has MILLIONS can one afford the time, effort, and cost to counter being wronged significantly.

I haven’t heard of ANYONE getting recompense for their time in pursuing a claim. I’d like to see $500/hour *minimum* for personal costs reimbursed.

Corey Stewart: AT&T pressured Trump administration to not blacklist China Telecom
Today, The Two Mikes had the pleasure of discussing world affairs and domestic politics with Mr. Corey Stewart, former Undersecretary of Commerce in the Trump Administration.
by Michael Scheuer March 2, 2021

https://noqreport.com/2021/03/02/corey-stewart-att-pressured-trump-administration-to-not-blacklist-china-telecom/

Today, The Two Mikes had the pleasure of discussing world affairs and domestic politics with Mr. Corey Stewart, former Undersecretary of Commerce in the Trump Administration. You can watch the video at Rumble.

Mr. Stewart gave us a vivid—and discouraging—description of how large U.S. businesses often fought the administration’s attempt to stop China’s economic policy of cheating in economic dealings with the United States. Those businesses seemed to be okay with America’s economic subordination to China so long as their interests in China were protected and their greed was satisfied. According to National File:

AT&T is pressuring the Department of Commerce to keep a major Chinese Communist government state-owned telecom company off of the United States “Entity List,” which is a U.S. government blacklist for foreign companies that are engaged in human rights abuses or which threaten U.S. national security interests, NATIONAL FILE has exclusively learned.

The Trump administration wanted to blacklist the telecom company for supporting China’s oppression of the Uyghur people and actions in the South China Sea, but AT&T launched a desperate campaign to stop the blacklisting. Why? Because AT&T, the parent company of CNN, has a contract with China Telecom and fears business retribution from the Chinese government. NATIONAL FILE has confirmed these revelations with sources inside the Trump administration.

We agreed that China could have no better friends in its effort to destroy the United States than the Biden gang, some Republicans, and many members of the U.S. business community. We also had a good talk about the 2020 election fraud, with Mr. Stewart offering a detailed description of how Virginia’s Democratic Party worked for a decade to create circumstances in the state that paved the way for the mysterious shifting of 300,000 votes in Fairfax County late on election night. Mr. Steward, earlier in his career, was a Republican candidate for governor in Virginia.

Very good article on the political significance of Trump’s CPAC speech.

It would be very easy to just see it as a “rah rah” speech.

I think that was by DESIGN. It gives the base the Trump Rally feel they wanted, and also gave cover to Trump’s reshaping the political terrain right under everyone’s feet.

I’ve seen other blogs with strings of comments complaining or yawning over Trump’s speech. Fine guys, whatever. I don’t have time for B.S. nay-sayers who can’t see what is PLAIN AS DAY in front of them.

Donald Trump dug up the political tomahawk
by Gary Gindler March 2, 2021

https://noqreport.com/2021/03/02/donald-trump-dug-up-the-political-tomahawk/

. . . There is no precedent in American history for a former president’s sanguine speech to generate much more enthusiasm and attention than any speech by the current president, an Iranian and Chinese lackey. Honestly, this is all you need to know about the internals of the political situation in our country. Just curious if anyone can remember the jubilant crowds celebrating former presidents that we see now? (After Trump’s speech, it turned out that more people watched it than Biden’s inaugural celebrations.)

Without a doubt, the Republican establishment and the Democratic Party should be horrified after this eloquent speech. If anyone else doubted who precisely will be nominated for the presidency in 2024, those doubts have now disappeared. Trump’s speech was both a traditional State of the Union (which the decrepit Joe “Yuan” Biden canceled this year, like all press conferences), an election speech, and an outright mockery of his political opponents.

For the first time in the history of the United States, the former president delivered the State of the Union, not the current president. Since last year was the year of the coronavirus, Trump has given a lot of attention to the vaccine. Trump has dismissed the myth that socialist countries are more effective in dealing with emergencies, ostensibly because they can concentrate resources. Indeed, socialist countries can concentrate state resources on solving extraordinary challenges.

. . . But the main thing that happened at CPAC sits upon an entirely different battlefield. The fragmentation of the conservative forces that the American leftists so hoped for did not materialize. Trump announced that rumors of a new party were fake news. Democrats suffered another defeat, and an attempt to squeeze the Republican Party out from Trump ended in failure. The party of (D)eceit now has no choice but to try to impeach Trump for the third time. They simply have no other political ammunition against Trump.

. . . Trump decided to leave the GOP facade unchanged. But in parallel with this, right after the 2020 elections, he established the Save America PAC. The Save America PAC is an alternative structure created to flank the Republican Washington swamp.

Now, political donation’s cash flow will be redirected straight to the Save America PAC, bypassing the Washington Republican bureaucracy. Thus, the Republican Party will continue to exist; however, the redistribution of the cash flow will soon put everything in its rightful place. The Republican nomenclature will subordinate to those who actually own the party treasury: Trump and his supporters.

. . . To use American Indian terminology, Trump dug up a political tomahawk and went on the warpath. War has been declared not only on a dozen members of Congress but also against a dirty dozen Republicans who have succumbed to Democratic pressure and supported Trump’s impeachment. Trump has an unprecedentedly high rating among Republicans: 97% for and only 3% against. He can afford to punish the traitors to the idea of “Make America Great Again,” rightly arguing that the financial flows between the new political structure and the old-fashioned Republican guard will be divided approximately in the same proportion.

Thus, the civil war within the Republican party ended before it began. This is the essence of Trump, who knows how to win wars without even starting them, as the Middle East’s recent history has shown.

. . . MORE . . .

Very worthwhile article. This hit home for me:

“Many commentators were inclined to establish a third, openly conservative party that was the only option after losing the White House. Simply because the Republican party nomenclature, as the experience of Reagan and Trump has shown, does not lend itself to any reform, and the main opposition front to the conservatives is not from the left, but from the corrupt right.”

The CORRUPT RIGHT. This is what must be expunged from the Republican Party. And local participation is a must. It’s heinous, I know.

But we have to get involved. I had to go home and drink a scotch last night after attending a local meeting. The members are very comfortable in their spots, eager to move on from the election unpleasantness, interested only in the local scene, and more sheep than anything else.

I’m being very quiet for now.

I’m surprised you didn’t have to polish off the whole bottle!

But yes you are right – they are defined by intertia. A lot of talk but little action.

They deny that they put party ahead of the national interest, but when watching what they do that’s exactly what we see.

I can’t understand that mentality. To me the party is a means to an end. But for some people the party seems to be the end in itself. Why? What do they get out of it? Social standing? Community standing? Networking? Business connections? Political sycophants? Feeling like they are part of the oligarch class of important people? Or just plain RINO liberals that aren’t conservative and don’t want conservative ideas to win?

singingsoul1

The pride being republican or democrat and that is what keeps us apart and from working for the nation and defending the nation and its constitution with one voice.
Same with denomination the denomination begins to overshadow Christ and what binds Christians together with one voice regardless of denomination.

At this time parties are so divided in purpose that the republican party members need to put country first before status.
Same with denomination because it is not denominations that are persecuted around the world and in US but Christians and Christianity. Our foundation of our country is Christianity and if Christianity is safe then all denominations are safe in the US and around the world.
In many smaller towns party is a family association and status marker. They hare hard to crack and to be part of as equal. One needs to be persistent and soft approach but not giving up.

“Free advice, Deep State: If you’re going to take down a sitting president who has more energy than Tom Cruise dancing on Oprah Winfrey’s sofa, then at least install a body in the Oval Office more lively than a medical cadaver.  Otherwise, people start wondering how the naptime president could possibly have scored more votes than anyone else in American history, while his predecessor is still doing two hours of cardio live and onstage in Orlando before sold-out crowds.”

I just wanted to point out that the left’s canceling of Dr. Seuss is rich.

I never cared much for Dr. Seuss growing up, and a big part of that in retrospect was that so much of what he wrote was leftist morality tale gruel.

The Lorax was one of those. Wackypedia has this great quote that provides real insight into this mess:

It was Dr. Seuss’s personal favorite of his books. He was able to create a story addressing industrial/economic and environmental issues without it being dull: “The Lorax came out of me being angry. In The Lorax I was out to attack what I think are evil things and let the chips fall where they might.”[2]

That isn’t liberal – that is a straight up leftist thinking. He was writing propaganda.

The Lorax never set well with me when I was young, and was part of my motivation in later grades to push past the environmental rhetoric.

In fact I would rank the over the top environmental B.S. as one of the top three influences/motivators as a young man that pushed me toward a different view of the world and politics.

When I read the chapter in Rush’s book on the environmental movement in the years afterward, the light turned on. He called out loudly that the environmental emporer was naked.

Deplorable Patriot

The ones that are all about sounds and the alphabet were INVALUABLE while we were teaching my one nephew to talk when he was five. The ear candy, as we called it, of the rhymes made a BIG difference.

singingsoul1

My kids loved Dr Seuss and through the books all three learned to read by the time they were 3-4. I remember my father in law in total amazement when my daughter 3 read him one after the other books. After 6 weeks in first grate she had read all the books they put her into second class.
I like the books also because if I mispronounced something my kids were correcting me even before they could read.
Just my own opinion it is TV and electronic toys that are damaging to kids. Mine had all toys that were simple out of wood no batteries no TV until after 4 then one hour a day of my choosing.

So Rush’s widow is on desecribing his funeral service, so apparently I was wrong about an online service, unlesss that is just later. She described the horse-drawn carriage that took him to the burial site. I’m afraid I missed part of this.

para59r

Missed that part too, but she did mention about having something available on line that people could be part of and experience. However that’s the part I missed. Did like the part when Kathrine said Rush was very much excited about moving forward. Which is good, just like Rush to be concentrated on the silver linings. Some people believe death is only the opening of a new chapter and look forward to beginning it.

_________Hasn’t to read beyond this point.____________

Connie Willis (who has fallen out of my favor because she craved the awards and recognition at the sacrifice of her real fans, but since this work was done pre-traitor, I’ll share) a Sci Fi author for lack of better term wrote a book called “Passage” It had a clinical setting in a hospital and revolved around several characters that had involved themselves in a low budget medical study of near death experiences by using an experimental drug that led one to near death. The story is well told and runs the gamut of false hoods to truth. That story was the absolute most horrifying story I’ve ever read, something I hadn’t at all expected when I began reading it, the very last two pages however were phenomenal in a very good way.

I’d only recommend the book for those who enjoy reading and have a good time to live, as the this story you will carry around in your head for quite a long time once you finish it, more so than most books.

From the time the Ark landed and Noah and his complement disembarked onto dry land – way before the Ten Commandments were given to Moses and the Children of Israel, written by GOD’s own hand in stone – GOD has let mankind know that HE is concerned about JUSTICE, LAW AND ORDER on this earth.

When Moses brought down the 10 Commandments from Mt. Sinai, the Israelites already knew that GOD held Courts as a matter of priority – because of the 7 Laws of Noah.

These Noachide laws preceded and provided foundation of understanding of the Mosaic Commandments. https://www.simpletoremember.com/articles/a/seven-laws-of-noah/

The Noachide Laws are seven laws considered by rabbinic tradition as the minimal moral duties required by the Bible on all men. While Jews are obligated to observe the whole Torah – 613 commandments, every non-Jew is considered a “son of the covenant of Noah” and he who accepts these obligations is considered a righteous person who is guaranteed a place in the world to come.

The seven Noachide laws, as traditionally enumerated are:
1 Do Not Deny God

More on COURTS and JUSTICE in Scripture:

Psalm 82 – The Living Bible
God stands up to open heaven’s court. 
He pronounces judgment on the judges.
How long will you judges refuse to listen to the evidence? 
How long will you shower special favors on the wicked?
Give fair judgment to the poor man, the afflicted, the fatherless, the destitute. 
Rescue the poor and helpless from the grasp of evil men. 
But you are so foolish and so ignorant! Because you are in darkness, 
all the foundations of society are shaken to the core. 
I have called you all “gods” and “sons of the Most High.” 
But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince—for all must die.
Stand up, O God, and judge the earth. 
For all of it belongs to you. All nations are in your hands.
——— 
2 Chronicles 19:7 – Be very much afraid to give any other decision than what God tells you to. For there must be no injustice among God’s judges, no partiality, no taking of bribes.”
Psalm 58:1-2 – Justice? You high and mighty politicians don’t even know the meaning of the word! Fairness? Which of you has any left? Not one! All your dealings are crooked: you give “justice” in exchange for bribes.
Proverbs 17:23 – The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.
Ecclesiastes 3:16 – Moreover, I notice that throughout the earth justice is giving way to crime, and even the police courts are corrupt.
Isaiah 1:23 – Your leaders are rebels, companions of thieves; all of them take bribes and won’t defend the widows and orphans.
Isaiah 5:23 – They take bribes to pervert justice, letting the wicked go free and putting innocent men in jail.
Micah 7:3 
Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire together.
They go at their evil deeds with both hands, and how skilled they are in using them! The governor and judge alike demand bribes. The rich man pays them off and tells them whom to ruin. Justice is twisted between them.
Amos 5:15 – Hate evil and love the good; remodel your courts into true halls of justice. Perhaps even yet the Lord God of Hosts will have mercy on his people who remain.
Habakkuk 1:4 – The law is not enforced, and there is no justice given in the courts, for the wicked far outnumber the righteous, and bribes and trickery prevail.

Why QAnon promoters are latching on to March 4
What is supposed to happen on March 4?
Feb 19, 2021, 10:32 am* Tech Mike Rothschild

https://www.dailydot.com/debug/march-4-qanon/

Since first emerging from the troll swamps of 4chan’s /pol/ board in Oct. 2017, the QAnon movement has transformed into a conspiracy theory of everything, from vaccines to social media monopolies, from election fraud to whether aliens exist. But at its core, Q has always been about two things: the first is the approaching mass arrest of all of the pedophiles and traitors at the heart of business, politics, and the Democratic Party. The second is coming up with rationalizations for why it never happens.

As long as their parents know where they are, this is not a bad thing.

wheatietoo

A lot of parents were horrified by what they saw in their children’s online teaching sessions from their school system.

Maybe those parents are home-schooling now.

MAGA Mom

from the teachers I know in several counties of middle TN …

Most of the students “falling off the grid”/falling through the cracks are the poor children from troubled homes. Since no one is checking for class attendence in a meaningful way, many just aren’t attending.

A number of teacher friends are actually enjoying teaching more right now (+ 1 resource officer who shares that his job has never been easier) because the vast majority problem students just aren’t coming to school right now. It is the students who really want to learn and the students of parents who are actually parenting, who are involved and responsible parents, who are coming into class and faithfully doing their work when at home.

Fewer fights, disruptions, disrespect, etc.

As usual, the poor are suffering the most from the leftist’s policies.

The poor who are involved responsible parents are also suffering as it costs so much to provide childcare and they are not able to provide the at home resources the middle and upper class parents are able to provide while their children are at home – much less the supervision.

(and yes, supervision … as I sit here staring at my teen son while he does math and giving him encouragement and “come on you can do” when he starts to space out … he loves math and is gifted in math … which makes actually doing it to master a tremendous challenge for both of us. when he gets his HS diploma I ought to get a copy for getting him through…glad husband is in same room as I need a firm voice on occassion to back me up and tell him to get ‘er done …. end rant. Funny – son just said mom what are you typing because you are sighing a lot and really banging the keys … did not tell him that was homeschool mom frustsration!  😉  😜 )

Some students have switched to homeschool and parent directed learning but I am guess those aren’t counted as “falling off the grid” as most states, counties and local school districts require paperwork/written notification for withdrawing a student and beginning to homeschool. That would leave the poor children from troubled homes to be the ones that the schools have “lost”.

Op-Ed: What In Tarnation Is A ‘Womxn’?
March 2nd, 2021

https://babylonbee.com/news/frank-t-rutherford-op-ed-what-in-tarnation-is-a-womxn/

I don’t know what is wrong with people these days. You’d think they are all hepped up on goofballs the way they talk that don’t make any sense. Cis-gendered. Intersectionality. Timothée Chalamet. Just a bunch of made-up words. And it gets worse. Recently I saw womxn, Latinx, and folx. What is that? Klingon?

If I even try to read what them crazy Marxists write these days, I think I’m having a stroke. It’s just insane gibberish and I’m not sure how to pronounce half of it. Do they even know what they’re saying? Or is this like baby babble where they’re trying to imitate speech with their nonsense?

Back in my day when people knew what men and women were, everyone worked hard, and we didn’t have time for silliness because we were too worried about the Commies nuking us, we only spoke actual words that meant things. If someone walked up to you and said, “Hello, womxn. How is your intersectionality?” they would grab that person off the street and lock him up in the crazy house. And then shock his brain until he started making sense again.

But we don’t have common sense like that anymore. Instead, we got them “progressives” running around jibbering in their incomprehensible made-up language like Jodi Foster in that one movie (You know which one? It was a while ago. It’s okay if you haven’t seen it; it wasn’t very good.). And people just nod along to that garbage instead of putting them in those tight coats with no sleeves.

This has to end. What this country needs is for us to build a lot of crazy houses — big ones people can’t escape from. Or maybe just build walls around colleges and make them crazy houses to save time. And then when anybody tries to replace an ‘a’ with an ‘x,’ you just lock them up in there and start shocking their brain.

You know what that’s called? Compassion.

In the USSR this was done to Christians all the time.
As in, it is crazy to believe in God.

Maybe allowing what some consider crazy behavior still needs to be protected.

But I’d sure like to see criminal behavior arrested, charged, due process, and incarceration for appropriate amount of time.

Is the left trying to push us into missing the point again?

Some people call me “Dr. Doom.” This is probably because of my pessimistic outlook on some things. I understand. When the only nation you’ve ever known in life is destined to fail, and somebody tells you that, it can be a real drag. If I told you the Roman Empire was destined to fall, that wouldn’t be so bothersome to you now. It’s been over fifteen centuries since it happened. It’s ancient history. So what else is new? But if the year were AD 400, and I told you that, you might think I was a prophet of doom, a real downer, and somebody with a whole lot of negative energy. You might be inclined to avoid me, and warn others about me. Again, this is understandable. If people live their lives with no knowledge of history, or sense of their place in it, any negative prediction about the future is considered taboo, unless it’s about who’s going to lose the next major sporting event. In which case, your prediction might provoke people to start placing wagers. 

Saint Augustine wrote that the fall of the Roman Empire was inevitable, because anyone, who understood what the empire was founded upon, and its trajectory, could clearly see that its foundation was unstable, and if just given enough time, it would crumble. So it did. Saint Augustine accurately pointed out what should have been obvious, and the rest is history. So we are approaching a similar situation today. The United States is going to fall, and that should be obvious to anyone who understands the flaws of our nation’s founding, and is aware of our current trajectory. The United States will not survive the twenty-first century. Yes, that’s a downer. Yes, you can call me “Dr. Doom.” I promise you, when it finally happens, nobody will call me a prophet. I’ll get no recognition or fanfare. If anybody mentions me at all, in the pages of some history book, they’ll just say I was only pointing out the obvious, and lots of other people were too.

OH GOOD GRIEF, YOU PEOPLE!!!

Mitt Romney Knocked Unconscious, Suffers Black Eye
By Jack Davis
Published March 2, 2021 at 8:13am

https://www.westernjournal.com/mitt-romney-knocked-unconscious-suffers-black-eye/

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah was sporting a black eye Monday, but said it was only because of a fall suffered over the weekend.

“I took a fall. Knocked me unconscious. But I’m doing better,” the former Massachusetts governor told reporters Monday, according to the New York Post.

Romney said he was in Boston to visit his grandchildren when he fell and was injured.

The Utah senator confirmed that he got stitches, but said he did not know how many when asked.

“A lot of stitches. I don’t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ but it’s all through my eyebrow and my lip,” he said.

Romney, a moderate Republican who voted to convict former President Donald Trump in his Senate impeachment trial last month, sought to cover the incident with humor.

[^^^ N.B.: FAKE HUMOR. ^^^]

“I went to CPAC, that was a problem,” he said, referring to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida, at which Trump spoke.

Romney was not invited to attend because of his rabid opposition to Trump, who made clear during his CPAC address that Romney is part of what is wrong with the Republican Party.

H.R. 1 essentially seeks to legitimize the unlawful rules and procedures which allowed the November 2020 election to be rigged. H.R. 1 is nothing more that legalization of fraud by Congress.

We need to remind D.C. that our country is made up of states which are made up of communities of We The People.

We The People tell government what it can and cannot do. The corrupt federal, state, and local politicians and officials need a reminder of that fundamental truth. Enforcing local rule in communities and states should be the focus of the efforts by We The People to take back our country.

Simple truths are simple truth. 

The love of money is the root of all evil.

That simple truth says it all about most current political officials – they are corrupted by their desire for fame, fortune, and power.

But the fortune they seek to plunder for themselves and their self-serving agendas comes from We The People. 

We The People ultimately control the purse strings. We hold both the fortune and the key to it. It is our hard-earned money. 

Given the almost total failure of our government in recent months (years), who is chomping at the bit to send your money to government officials to plunder?

Could your money be better spent closer to home?

Think about it. 

Remember ALL the power belongs to We The People, not to the money-changers.

Gov. Abbott Announces End of Mask Mandate, Reopening Texas 100 Percent
After a year of restrictions, Governor Abbott announced that businesses would be permitted to reopen next Wednesday. The statewide mask mandate will also be lifted.
DANIEL FRIEND

https://thetexan.news/gov-abbott-announces-end-of-mask-mandate-reopening-texas-100-percent/

At a press conference in Lubbock, Governor Greg Abbott announced that he was issuing a new executive order that would rescind most of the regulations in his previous orders, including allowing all businesses to open to “100 percent” capacity and ending the statewide mask mandate beginning next Wednesday.
“It is now time to open up Texas 100 percent. Every employee who wants to work should have that opportunity. Every business that wants to be open, should be open,” said Abbott.

Abbott said that his executive order will allow county judges to impose other restrictions if COVID-19 hospitalizations rise above 15 percent in the state trauma service area that covers their county — though not with a penalty of jail time or fines with any mask mandates.

COVID-19 hospitalizations have been on a sharp downward trend, with the most populous regions of the state falling below the 15 percent threshold during the recent statewide freeze.

Currently only two trauma service areas are above that mark: the regions covering El Paso and Laredo.

The governor’s last executive order related to the pandemic was issued in October and permitted some businesses to reopen at 75 and 50 percent capacity, as long as the same hospitalization metric was met.

Abbott issued the statewide mask mandate in July, after he previously took the position that “no jurisdiction can impose a civil or criminal penalty for failure to wear a face covering.”

The governor has now returned to that position, as his new executive order will prohibit any jurisdictions from fining individuals who do not wear masks or businesses that do not require them.

However, businesses may still require employees and customers to wear face coverings and request law enforcement to remove violators for trespassing.

“Removing statewide mandates does not end personal responsibility or the importance of caring for your family members,” said Abbott. “Personal vigilance to follow the safe standards is still needed to contain [COVID-19]. It’s just that now state mandates are no longer needed.”

Abbott’s action to remove his previous regulations comes alongside criticism from many Democrats.

In letters released right before Abbott’s press conference, local officials in Travis and Harris counties urged the governor to delay ending his mask mandate.

After the press conference, the Texas House Democratic Caucus criticized the governor’s measure as “premature” and a diversion from the recent energy crisis.

“Masks work to slow the spread of COVID-19, plain and simple,” said Rep. Chris Turner (D-Grand Prairie), the chair of the caucus. “Unfortunately, Governor Abbott is desperate to distract from his recent failures during the winter storm and is trying to change the subject.”

Gilberto Hinojosa, the chair of the Texas Democratic Party, said in a statement that Abbott’s new executive order “will kill Texans” and called him “the worst Governor in modern Texas history.”

In contrast, House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) applauded the governor for the measures taken to reopen the state. 

“The unparalleled efforts of government and the pharmaceutical industry to defeat the novel coronavirus prove what we’ve always known: vaccines work. With greater access to vaccinations, better treatment options, and decreasing hospitalization rates, the Texas approach empowers citizens to exercise personal responsibility about their health in the fight against COVID-19,” said Phelan in a press release.

According to the New York Times, Texas follows 12 other states that currently do not have mask mandates.

FBI Cannot ‘Disclose the Cause of Death’ of Officer Brian Sicknick: Director Wray
BY JACK PHILLIPS March 2, 2021 Updated: March 2, 2021

https://www.theepochtimes.com/fbi-cannot-disclose-the-cause-of-death-of-officer-brian-sicknick-director-wray_3717323.html

The FBI “cannot disclose the cause of death” of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, after The New York Times and other news outlets either retracted or updated reports claiming he was killed by being hit with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.

FBI Director Christopher Wray responded to a question from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) during a Senate hearing on Tuesday about whether the agency has determined Sicknick’s cause of death. Grassley noted “conflicting reports” about his cause of death and whether there is a homicide investigation.

“There is an ongoing investigation into his death,” Wray said, adding that “I certainly understand … and appreciate the keen interest in what happened to him.”

But despite Wray’s testimony, it’s still unclear whether the FBI does not know Sicknick’s cause of death or whether the agency simply will not disclose it.

Wray then stated that “the investigation is ongoing … that means we can’t disclose the cause of death.” When asked again by Grassley about whether the FBI knows his cause of death, Wray said, “I didn’t say that,” and again repeated that the FBI can’t disclose the cause of death.

Sicknick’s death was invoked a number of times by lawmakers in Congress during former President Donald Trump’s impeachment and trial as they tried to portray the riots as an insurrection that resulted in the loss of lives, repeating claims from The New York Times that Sicknick was beaten by a pro-Trump supporter during the riots. The New York Times later updated its story to say “new information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.”

That narrative also suffered a major setback last week when Sicknick’s mother, Gladys, told the Daily Mail that her son wasn’t hit on the head.

“He wasn’t hit on the head, no. We think he had a stroke, but we don’t know anything for sure,” Gladys Sicknick told the outlet in an exclusive interview on Feb. 22. “We’d love to know what happened,” she said.

Sicknick’s brother also appeared to dispute the reports about his death in early January. “[Officer Sicknick] texted me last night and said, ‘I got pepper-sprayed twice,’ and he was in good shape,” Ken Sicknick said to news outlets last month, appearing to dispute key details of the original NY Times report.

The Capitol Police said last week that the medical examiner’s report on Sicknick’s death is not yet complete.

“We are awaiting toxicology results and continue to work with other government agencies regarding the death investigation,” the agency said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Wray described the Jan. 6 incident as “domestic terrorism” and claimed it coincided with the rise of white nationalism and extremism in the United States in recent years.

“One of the things we struggle with in particular is that more and more, the ideologies if you will, that are motivating these violent extremists are less and less coherent, less and less linear, less and less easy to pin down,” Wray told senators.

Bullsh*t.
The usual definition of an extremist is a narrow, almost singular ideology and objective. All of the stuff coming from all of them is circular word salad that they all nod their heads in agreement and then repeat amongst themselves.

mollypitcher5

In some article I remember reading that it was thought that he may have died from a complication from getting sprayed with something. Maybe Wray knows that but is trying to get some report defining whether it was the type of gas/spray that the police use or the bear spray stuff that antifa usually carries ??

Hard to believe that the allegedly most advanced forensic agency in the world hasn’t managed to come up with the answers.

Memo Outlines Republican Plan to Take Back House Majority in 2022
BY MASOOMA HAQ March 2, 2021 Updated: March 2, 2021

https://www.theepochtimes.com/memo-outlines-republican-plan-to-take-back-house-majority-in-2022_3717285.html

In a memo Tuesday, Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) President Dan Conston outlined a five-point plan for how House Republicans can regain the majority in 2022.

Conston stressed building on the recruiting successes of 2020, repairing the fundraising problem on the “candidate side,” contrasting the left’s socialist policies with GOP policies, taking redistricting into account, and “maximizing the battlefield.”

“We will win back the majority if we’re clear-eyed about the obstacles in front of us, apply the lessons learned from 2020, and follow our plan to victory,” wrote Conston (pdf).

From the PDF document above:

Politically, after an election trying to paint every suburban Republican as too supportive of Trump — and losing everywhere — Democrats new strategy is to say those same mainstream Members actually support QAnon. We support their strategy. Good luck.

LULZ.

Just like every democrat support communist China and concentration camps ? (S)
They want to play the game so can I .
The democrats invented QAnon. There is [ Q ] and then there is [Anon] two different entities.
Am I wrong? Why are they smearing Anon? I never saw anything wrong but then I was not involved. I also saw nothing wrong on Q and again was not very involved. My focus was President Trump.

I’ve never got a straight answer on what exactly a “QAnon” is from a mainstream source.

Cuomo to Be Stripped of Pandemic Emergency Powers in Legislative Deal
The deal would roll back broad powers granted to the governor in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic
Published 1 hour ago • Updated 37 mins ago

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/cuomo-to-be-stripped-of-pandemic-emergency-powers-in-legislative-deal/2919491/

Legislators from New York’s Assembly and state Senate struck a deal Tuesday to strip Gov. Andrew Cuomo of his pandemic-linked emergency powers and return matters like lockdowns to local control.

The deal would reverse emergency powers granted to Cuomo exactly a year ago, in the early days of the COVID pandemic, that gave him free rein to order measures like quarantines.

“I think everyone understands where we were back in March and where we are now. We certainly see the need for a quick response but also want to move toward a system of increased oversight, and review. The public deserves to have checks and balances. Our proposal would create a system with increased input while at the same time ensuring New Yorkers continue to be protected,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said in a statement.

Assemblymember Carrie Woerner tweeted the outlines of the widely reported deal Tuesday afternoon, saying it would:

  • “repeal the extraordinary powers granted to the Governor last year”
  • “provide for an orderly transition through the end of the disaster period”
  • “Limit any further modifications to directives to that which is necessary to reduce the spread or increase vaccinations”
  • “Restore the right of counties and municipalities to issue executive orders without seeking state approval”
  • “Require the Governor to provide online reporting on all executive orders, providing transparency for all”

Woerner said she understood a bill would be passed as early as this Friday.

While the deal leaves Cuomo with the authority to extend some existing measures, even there he will have to notify various legislative leaders and accept public comment for or against his actions. Legislators will also have the power to repeal a gubernatorial declaration of a state of emergency.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-endorses-gop-sen-jerry-moran-of-kansas-for-reelection_3712211.html

I am not overly excited about this one due to his position on the 11/03/2020 election fraud and his tepid support of President Trump during the impeachment trial as seen by quotes here:

““The Constitution does not clearly state whether a former president can be tried for impeachment by the Senate, but I believe the impeachment process is intended to be used for considering whether or not ‘The President’ should be removed from office,” Moran said in a statement on Feb. 13. “Because former President Trump is no longer in office, I voted to acquit. Establishing the precedent that the Senate has jurisdiction to convict a former president would cause extreme damage to our country and the future of the presidency.”

Moran condemned the violent actions of rioters who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6. He also criticized Trump for continuing to allege at the time that there was widespread fraud, calling Trump’s action “wrong.”

President Trump has regretted endorsements before (see Romney and Kemp, among others). 

President Trump’s endorsement is GOLD in the GOP primaries … see TN’s primary race for US Senate last year between Dr. Sethi and Hagerty. There is absolutely no way Hagerty would have won without President Trump’s endorsement. 

I hope he takes his time and has new advisors on who to endorse for both incumbents and for primary challengers.  We have Plenty of time as it is early in the 2022 GOP Primary process. 

NEW: 3/22022: Tim Scott, US Senator for Kansas (GOP Primary, incumbent) 

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/541248-trump-endorses-tim-scott-for-reelection

Another endorsement I am not thrilled about. I wish he would slow down … no rush to give these out. I get he is focused on the ones who voted to impeach but there are more issues at stake than that. Make ’em work harder for it! Make ’em sign onto the issues or at least give clear confirmation on the issues that he defined on Sunday as Trumpism. US Senate seems to be were we have the most GOPe/RINOs.
 
But President Trump is where he is in life and I am where I am so I will trust Trump & I will support who he supports.

I am wondering if McConnel ask him who to support ? He might not have realized how much of a snake the turtle was?

Pelosi Teaming Up with Cuomo for a Message on Sexual Assault Doesn’t Look So Good Now
By Joe Saunders
Published March 2, 2021 at 2:57pm

https://www.westernjournal.com/pelosi-teaming-cuomo-message-sexual-assault-doesnt-look-good-now/

It’s one picture Nancy Pelosi can’t be pleased with — and the timing is even worse.

As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal worsens, with a third woman coming forward to lodge a public complaint against the one-time Democratic darling of the mainstream media, a photo is making the rounds on social media of Pelosi sharing a stage with Cuomo at a 2015 event.

The occasion? A panel discussion on the topic of sexual assault against young women.

“Too many women are sexually assaulted while in college,” a 2015 tweet from Pelosi stated. “Joined @NYGovCuomo to discuss why #EnoughIsEnough!”

Now that the very same @NYGovCuomo whom Pelosi was so proud to be sitting next to six years ago is the subject of first one, then two and now three accusations of sexually harassing much younger women, it raises the question of just when #EnoughIsEnough when it comes to prominent Democratic politicians.

And there are few in the country outside the federal government who are more prominent than Andrew Cuomo.

Not only is he in his third term as governor of one of the country’s most populous states, but he’s also so solidly on the left when it comes to core Democratic issues that he signed a bill in 2018 that provides for virtually unlimited late-term abortions. (And ordered the new World Trade Center lit up in pink lights to celebrate the appalling achievement.)

The Left vs. Dr. Seuss

Today is Read Across America Day. Launched in the 1990s to encourage children to read, the day coincides with the birthday of award-winning author Theodor Geisel. Chances are you know him better by another name: Dr. Seuss.  

But, of course, we live in woke times, and now we have a big problem on Read Across America Day. 

Presidents Obama and Trump regularly issued proclamations celebrating Read Across America Day. They always applauded Dr. Seuss for the joy his books have brought to children for many, many years. 

But the Biden White House dropped Dr. Seuss from its statement this year. What’s going on? 

The woke social justice warriors, the same people trying to erase Christopher Columbus and George Washington from our history, have decided that Dr. Seuss has to go.  

Eighty years ago, Seuss published cartoons that would be offensive by today’s standards. But no one is perfect, and we can’t judge everyone in the past by today’s new and ever-evolving woke standards. Some school districts are already following Biden’s lead and dropping Dr. Seuss from this year’s Read Across America Day. 

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. This shows the obsessive desire of the left to regulate everything you do, say, think and even what you can read to your children. 

Our children have lost an entire year of in-school instruction. They are falling behind kids in other countries that followed the science and kept their schools open. But in the U.S., the left is worried about our kids being exposed to Dr. Seuss? Give me a break!

Any school board wasting its time on this foolishness should be fired!

Years ago, a major controversy erupted when it was discovered that some individuals were using public library computers to access online pornography. Needless to say, parents and taxpayers were justifiably outraged. 

Legislation was proposed to require internet filters on the computers at libraries that received taxpayer subsidizes. The left-wing librarians’ association fought this common-sense measure all the way to the Supreme Court. It was more important to them to ensure taxpayer-funded access to online pornography than it was to protect our children.

Now the left wants to ban Dr. Seuss. There’s something wrong with a society that promotes dozens of genders, but finds green eggs and ham beyond the pale!

RF121

Dr Seuss was the second most irritating cartoon to watch. Never liked the style. 1st place easily goes to Mr. Magoo.

mollypitcher5

haha…my first place award goes to classic Donald Duck. I never knew what he was saying.

michaelh

Yes – I never liked the animated versions of Dr. Seuss.

Cuppa Covfefe

He had some very *cough* ribald artwork which surfaced in the 1970s, IIRC, that ruined what respect I had for him. His style was a lot like Gahan Wilson of the “monsters eating cars” school… though I did like “On Beyond Zebra”.

“Green Eggs and Ham” is a prime example of forcing someone to do something they’d rather not do (harkens back to the serpent in the Garden of Eden, actually). Almost a paean to grooming, in a sense…

churchmouse

They’re rejecting one of their own.

My mother would not allow me to read Dr Seuss books. She had read in the papers in the 1960s that he was a lefty. It’s true. He was empathetic towards Stalin. He was also said to be an anti-Semite.

Thanks, Mom! 🙂

singingsoul1

I allowed my kids to read Dr Seuss. We enjoyed the books not all but some specific books. Harry Potter I did not allow. I do not like those books but would never burn them. If other people want their kids to read Harry Potter I just did not find them appropriate for my kids.

Sadie Slays

I did a research dig into Dr. Seuss a few years ago. He has a shady history, and I strongly suspect he was a cabal asset tasked with creating propaganda for children. Will post more in the next Open Thread.

churchmouse

Excellent! Looking forward to it!

My mother would certainly have agreed with your suspicions of him being a propaganda asset for children.

Gingersmom2009

All good with the teachers’ unions I’m sure. Read Across America WEEK is a LOT of extra work. Reading activities, planning, decorating, costuming. And trying to do it virtually? Or hybridity?

yucki

I never read Dr. Seuss.
Now I’m tempted.

kalbokalbs

Dr. Seuss books are outstanding in my mind.

Helped me teach three youngsters to read. Two of them became avid readers.

Two grandchildren, under our wings most of their lives. One with autism, also learned via Dr Seuss. Both are also avid readers.

Dr. Seuss books while perhaps silly, are perfect fun for children learning the fundamentals of reading. Lots of repetition, rhyming words, F U N for kids.

There may be racist crap somewhere in the library of Dr Seuss books, but NONE in the couple dozen books we used.

Over the many years of children going through early grammar school years, purchased MANY books “written for new readers”. NONE as well written as Dr Seuss.

My recipe for teaching a child to read, flash cards followed by, site words and Dr. Seuss. Toss in patience and allow reading to be fun.

—-

These days, anything and everything cancel culture wants to throw in the trash bin, I am likely to EMBRACE even more.

cthulhu

Dr. Seuss books were inspired by research that showed kids could start picking up new words from context when they had a core vocabulary of some outstandingly small number of English words — may have been 120. Geisel had done cartoons for the war effort and had a whimsical style, and basically said, “give me that list.”

An extension of the idea showed that children loved expanding their vocabulary by solving the “riddle” of what a new word meant, and that’s where you get the Grinch, Horton, the Lorax, and Tweedle-beetles. Fox in Socks, particularly, is a giant game of linguistic “peek-a-boo”.

Seuss’ canon was, in fact, conceived and created as a propaganda exercise — to inculcate that minimal vocabulary into young brains and touch off their ability to travel onward. Anything political definitely snuck in the back seat, ’cause the original cause is well-documented to be front-and-center.

cthulhu

Wikipoo’s version:

“In May 1954, Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. William Ellsworth Spaulding was the director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin (he later became its chairman), and he compiled a list of 348 words that he felt were important for first-graders to recognize. He asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and to write a book using only those words. Spaulding challenged Geisel to “bring back a book children can’t put down”. Nine months later, Geisel completed The Cat in the Hat, using 236 of the words given to him. It retained the drawing style, verse rhythms, and all the imaginative power of Geisel’s earlier works but, because of its simplified vocabulary, it could be read by beginning readers. The Cat in the Hat and subsequent books written for young children achieved significant international success and they remain very popular today. For example, in 2009, Green Eggs and Ham sold 540,000 copies, The Cat in the Hat sold 452,000 copies, and One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (1960) sold 409,000 copies — all outselling the majority of newly published children’s books.”

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins
— “It’s unfortunate that on a day we record 25 deaths, which takes us above 3,000 [COVID-19] deaths for Dallas County since COVID began nearly a year ago, the governor has removed all of the state orders that he designed to protect you and the people that you care about from contracting COVID. But for us here in North Texas, and for all Texans, we need to focus not on what the governor tells you the law allows, but on what doctors and the facts and the science that we all know well at this point tell us is necessary to keep us safe and give us our best chance of reaching herd immunity as quickly as possible.”

Stephen Love, the president/CEO of the DFW Hospital Council;
— “… it is very unfortunate. The COVID-19 virus with variants is still here and we have not achieved herd immunity. This decision will cause the community spread to increase, forcing our exhausted healthcare heroes to diagnose, treat and save the lives of newly infected patients.”

Millions of Methodists will go left – but millions more will be right
Tuesday, March 2, 2021 | Steve Jordahl (OneNewsNow.com)

https://onenewsnow.com/church/2021/03/02/millions-of-methodists-will-go-left-but-millions-more-will-be-right

A new, conservative Methodist denomination is splintering off of the United Methodist Church – and while the painful dividing process will likely spell death for some local congregations, a Methodist activist is expressing hope for conservatives in the church.

Conservative leaders within the United Methodist Church (UMC) unveiled plans Monday to form a new denomination, the Global Methodist Church, with a doctrine that abides by the Bible’s definition of marriage. The move could hasten the long-expected breakup of the UMC, America’s largest mainline Protestant denomination, over differing approaches to the sin of homosexuality.

The new Global Methodist Church will formally split from the UMC in 2022, the next time the denomination holds its General Conference. Conservative Methodists will then hammer out a new mission statement, vision, and a Transitional Book of Doctrines and Disciplines.

Mark Tooley is president of The Institute on Religion & Democracy and a lifelong Methodist who has been active in United Methodist renewal for more than three decades. He explains that the split – which has been under discussion for years in the denomination, is mostly over biblical sexuality.

“There are over 30,000 congregations [and] 6.5 million United Methodist in the U.S.,” he begins. “I think when it all shakes out … perhaps between 2 and 2.5 million will go conservative and the remaining 3.5 and 4 million will go liberal.”

The good news, says Tooley, is there will not be an extended legal battle over buildings and other assets. “Whatever choice they make, whether as a statewide conference or as a congregation, the property would follow – and they would have up to four years to make that decision,” he adds.

And there will be both winners and losers under the new arrangement, says the IRD president.

“I think it’s going to be very difficult and tragic for many local churches, some of which will never recover from the division,” he predicts. “But I think, long-term, it’s very encouraging for traditional Methodists and traditional Christians, in that there will be a new denomination.”

The United Methodist General Conference, which convenes annually, was postponed a year in 2020 due to COVID and was recently put off for another year. But Tooley says there is a remote chance that a vote could be taken online, or a special online convention could occur in early May.

Differences over same-sex “marriage” and the ordination of homosexual clergy have simmered for years in the UMC, and came to a head in 2019 at a conference in St. Louis where delegates voted 438-384 to strengthen bans on homosexual-inclusive practices. Most U.S.-based delegates opposed that plan and favored pro-homosexual options; they were outvoted by U.S. conservatives teamed with most of the delegates from Methodist strongholds in Africa and the Philippines.

In the aftermath of that meeting, many moderate and liberal clergy made clear they would not abide by the bans, and various groups worked on proposals to let the UMC split along theological lines.

Linda

It’s too bad they’re using “Global” in their name.

churchmouse

Not really.

In theological terms, it’s another word for the Southern Hemisphere, especially Africa.

The Anglicans use it, too: Global South, again, principally meaning Africa.

Public School Teachers Issue Students Their Summer Book-Burning Lists
March 2nd, 2021

https://babylonbee.com/news/public-school-teachers-issue-students-their-summer-book-burning-list
comment image

U.S.—With public schools entering summer break in a couple of months, teachers are usually taking this time to prepare summer reading lists for their students to keep up on reading over the summer. This year, however, due to the alarming rise in problematic literature, teachers will be switching to book-burning lists.

“We need to make sure our students are trained to be vigilant and always look for problematic literature,” said local 8th-grade teacher Lisa Bundergoob. “This list of hateful and transphobic books includes horrible titles like Irreversible Damage and The Cat In The Hat, which have no place in a progressive society and should be burned.”

According to sources, many public schools are de-emphasizing reading — which encourages critical thinking — in favor of activism, which is much easier since you can just have one smart person do the reading for you and tell you what to think.

In light of these new developments in public education, several education watchdogs are sounding the alarm over unregulated homeschooled children who have “unfettered access” to books and often read without any government oversight whatsoever.

“The government needs to stop them,” said Bundergoob.

Interesting that no election fraud case has been heard in court for almost a decade.

It’s that kind of stuff that makes this guy valuable.

duchess01

He said the courts are ‘captives’ of a foreign entity – they have been captured, compromised, and controlled – isn’t it odd – that at every turn – the courts refused to hear the evidence – Congress also failed to hear the evidence – he said neither Biden nor Harris are calling the shots – a ‘woman’ is – I wonder if that woman is Jill Biden.

The Military is the last defense – sworn to uphold the Constitution – they have the evidence of foreign interference – I wonder if they are waiting for the fence to be removed – I wonder if arrests will happen when the fence comes down.

I think what makes him valuable are his connections – his understanding how the military works – and how important it is for the networks to be dismantled – the Military will be arresting people for high crimes and misdemeanors – Treason, Sedition, and Subversive Activities.

He also said a ‘new’ government must be created after President Trump has been restored as our rightful president – guess that means many who are already in positions of power in the government will be removed.

Sales of recently announced banned Dr. Seuss books spiked on Amazon.com Tuesday after they were “canceled” by the left.

Dr. Seuss ‘s books were among the leading 17 on the top 50 list of Amazon’s “movers and shakers” on Tuesday morning after the ban was announced.

The books McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra!Scrambled Eggs Super!And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry StreetIf I Ran the Zoo and The Cat’s Quizzer will no longer be published according to a statement released Tuesday by Dr. Seuss Enterprises.

“These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement.

But the sales rank of the book “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” was up 45,930 percent on the list and was ranked number one.

Scrambled Eggs Super! and On Beyond Zebra was ranked number three and number four.

WATCH: Numb.

https://off-guardian.org/2021/03/01/watch-numb/

This powerful short film from British teenager Liv McNeil tells one story of millions, of how lockdown is punishing children by denying them education, social contact and generally a normal life.

It comes out amid new research highlighting the toll the “pandemic” response has taken on the mental health of children, with surges in self-harm and suicide being reported in kids as young as 10.

Something to consider to all the Twitter moms out there, who are so readily locking up their children in isolation to “protect them” from a disease with a survival rate over 99.8% (and much, much higher for children).

Film directed by, edited by, written by and starring Liv McNeil. Song: My Tears Are Becoming a Sea by M83

The people can now see how the corrupt politicians payoff themselves and others. The stimulus bill is not meant for the people, it is meant for the elite. The [CB] is not in control of the economic system. Trump and the patriots have turned the table on all of them. There is a new system that is being built now and the control will be returned to the people. The [DS]/MSM have been setup. Everything we have learned in the past is now coming true in the future. Future does prove the past. Wray was testifying today and he did not lean either way. Is Wray a sleeper, can he be trusted. This will be a future marker. The virus is now disappearing, Texas/Mississippi have now removed the mask mandates, businesses are opening. This is all according to the plan.

Georgia House Passes Omnibus Election Reform Bill
BY MIMI NGUYEN LY March 1, 2021 Updated: March 2, 2021

https://www.theepochtimes.com/georgia-house-passes-omnibus-election-reform-bill_3716434.html

Georgia’s House of Representatives passed an omnibus bill that would reform a range of election rules, including over absentee voting, voter ID for absentee voting, time limits for voting, and more.

The 66-page bill, HB 531 (pdf) passed the Republican majority chamber on a party line vote of 97-72 and is headed to the state Senate for further debate.

State Rep. Barry Fleming, a Republican, the main sponsor of the HB 531 bill, said that the proposal was designed to restore voters’ confidence in Georgia’s election system following the 2020 presidential election, which saw numerous allegations of voting irregularities and allegations of election fraud.

Separately, the GOP-majority Senate on Feb. 23 introduced its own version of an omnibus election reform bill, SB 241 (pdf) that has some overlap with HB 531. One difference is that the Senate bill would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, something that has been allowed in Georgia since 2005, whereas the House bill would still allow no-excuse absentee voting.

Absentee Ballots
The proposed HB 531, first introduced on Feb. 18, sets up multiple requirements for absentee ballots, including a number of voter identification requirements in replacement of the state’s current signature match process.

Voters would have to submit their driver’s license number, their state identification card, or the last four digits of their Social Security number on the ballot envelope. If the voter lacks a government ID, the bill requires a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address of the voter.

Under the new bill, voters would be able to request an absentee ballot up to 78 days before the election, instead of the current 180 days. The absentee ballots and early votes must be received by 11 days prior to the election day.

The government, including election officials, would not be allowed to mail out unsolicited applications for absentee ballots to voters under the bill. Only authorized relatives or persons signing as helping a voter who is illiterate or physically disabled may apply on behalf of another for an absentee ballot application .

Election officials also must not send out absentee ballots until four weeks prior to the election.

Other Requirements
To help reduce Georgia’s runoff period to four weeks, instead of nine weeks as experienced by the state in the Jan. 2 runoff elections for two Senate seats, military and overseas voters would be offered ranked choice voting.

Drop boxes would still be allowed under the new bill but subject to a number of restrictions. There would be a limited number of drop boxes, where every county would have at least one drop box but no more than one per 100,000 active voters or one for each early voting site. Any given drop box must be located at the office of the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk, or indoors at an early voting site. The drop boxes are only open when those sites are open and be under constant surveillance “by an election official or his or her designee, law enforcement official, or licensed security guard.”

The proposed legislation would change Georgia’s early voting period to business hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting about three weeks before election day, and registrars would have the option to extend voting hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The bill would also limit weekend voting to the second Saturday before the election. Counties can also choose the third Saturday or third Sunday before election day as another weekend day.

The HB 531 will no longer count any provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct—a change from the current law, which stipulates that even if the ballot was cast in the wrong precinct, election officials can count the votes for races in which the voter was entitled to vote.

Per the bill, ballots would be required to be printed on “security paper that incorporates features which can be used to authenticate the ballot as an official ballot but which do not make the ballot identifiable to a particular elector.“

Election superintendents and boards of registrars are not allowed to accept any “funding, grants, or gifts from any source other than from the governing authority of the county or municipality, the State of Georgia, or the federal government,” under the bill.

Among other voting requirements, the bill also prohibits people to solicit votes, distribute or show any campaign material, or provide money or gifts—including food and drink—within 25 feet of voters standing in line at any polling place, and within 150 feet of any polling place.

The Brave New World of Children’s Propaganda
By Annie Holmquist

https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/the-brave-new-world-of-children-s-propaganda/

The other day I was sent an Instagram video of a little boy having story time on his mother’s lap. The little boy was precious, the time spent on his mother’s lap special, but the choice of reading material was… “woke.”

The selected story was The GayBCs by M. L. Web. “A is for Ally,” repeated the little boy, “B is for Bi, C is for Coming Out, D is for Drag.” His mother praises him after he finishes the book, asking, “Are you a ‘woke’ toddler?” Parroting her words, the little tot proudly proclaims, “I’m ‘woke.’”

Such “woke” reading selections are par for the course as educators, politicians, and society at large seek to lead children through our world’s challenges. The recent release of Renaissance Learning’s “What Kids are Reading” report underscores that educators and authors are now seeking to teach young children about “social equity issues, climate change,” and other political trends. As such, the report promotes “woke” titles like Black Brother, Black Brother, which deals with inequitable treatment people with different skin colors, and other books dealing with charged political issues such as immigration and gender identity, including Come On In: 15 Stories About Immigration and Finding Home and Trans Mission: My Quest to a Beard.

Judging by these examples, it seems the “woke” steamroller is actively coming for the next generation. But it doesn’t have to run over our children. Knowing its methodology is one of the first steps to preventing its destructive ways.

. . . Wokeness is the propaganda of the despots of our time. Children are inundated with this propaganda by way of trainings they receive at school, books they find at the library, programs they watch, and people they follow online. As Huxley says, their young and impressionable minds are as yet unable to sort through the information they receive to understand what is true and right.

. . . The first thing to do is present children with a steady diet of material that runs counter to “woke” ideology. Providing your children with books which model family values, a strong work ethic, a love of country, and a traditional perspective on history is a good way to start.

. . . A second course of action is to teach your children logic. Knowing how to present good arguments and recognize fallacies in the arguments and presentations of others is essential for those living in a world of propaganda. While teaching logic can seem a bit daunting to parents who may feel like they don’t even know it well themselves, learning logic can become almost like a game through The Fallacy Detective and its companion book, The Thinking Toolbox.

The battle against propaganda battle is difficult indeed, but fighting it is not a lost cause. It’s time we went on the counterattack for the sake of our children.

The West is not yet awake to Political Warfare: to win without fighting

Hmmm. What one thing might unite the polarized sides of the USA?

Prof Kerry K. Gershaneck is a former US Marine who has worked in Thailand and Taiwan in academia and military intelligence. He writes that the West thought they defeated communism in 1990. They assumed China would play nice, but they were very wrong. Instead China studied the West and Russia, and is waging a Political War. There is a whole PDF book linked under that book image.

Political Warfare: Strategies for Combating China’s Plan to “Win without Fighting” by Kerry K. Gershaneck

China is an expansionist, hyper-nationalistic, militarily powerful, brutally repressive, fascist, and totalitarian state. It is essential to understand each word in that indisputable description. The CCP poses an existential threat to the freedom and democracy that India and the US represent. Failure to understand the nature of the CCP regime undermines our countries’ ability to fully understand the danger the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC’s) PW poses and to build our capacity to combat it.
 
Officials in democracies such as India and the US have been too easily deceived about PRC’s political warfare for several key reasons. When the Soviet Union collapsed around 1990, many in our countries naively believed there would be no more expansionist, totalitarian threats. They were wrong, of course. Chinese communists still quietly harboured plans for regional (and ultimately global) hegemony. As PRC rulers proclaimed China’s “peaceful rise”, they built massive economic and military strength and engaged in global political warfare operations to subvert the democracies.

Meanwhile, the US and other democracies dismantled their Cold War political warfare capabilities and foolishly assumed the PRC would join the community of nations as a “responsible stakeholder”…

All’s fair in love and political warfare:
From the CCP perspective, PW is total war—it is unrestricted warfare using every means just short of large-scale military combat. The PRC’s form of political warfare is generally standard worldwide: it uses the same playbook to achieve its political, economic, and military objectives globally without having to fight conventional wars. Tailored strategies and tactics, however, are adapted for each region and country.

It’s important to understand that PRC’s PW—this unrestricted warfare—is designed to get others to do what the CCP wants them to do. The PRC says unrestricted warfare means “the battlefield is everywhere” and there are no boundaries between “war and non-war, and between military and non-military affairs”. In essence, the PRC says that everything, legal or illegal, is permissible in order to achieve its ends. Specific examples the PRC gives of how to conduct its unrestricted warfare include biological and chemical warfare and terrorism, means particularly pertinent to note and consider in the Covid-19 era.

The list of weapons the PRC employs is long. It includes propaganda, psychological warfare, media warfare, disinformation, corruption, economic and sexual enticement, and coercion. It also includes active measures such as hybrid warfare, proxy armies, assassination, kidnapping, and brutal physical attacks. The PRC’s PW doctrine also includes concepts such as lawfare (using international and national laws, bodies and courts to shape decision making in the CCP’s favour), cyberattacks, terrorism, espionage, bribery, censorship, deception, subversion, blackmail, enforced disappearances (kidnapping, abduction), attacks by criminal gangs, and hybrid warfare.

No, Forbes, Texas Blackouts Were Not Caused By Climate Change
MARCH 2, 2021

https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2021/03/02/no-forbes-texas-blackouts-were-not-caused-by-climate-change/

. . . It is certainly true that the cold weather last month was an unusual event in Texas, but there is no evidence whatsoever that it was due to climate change, or indeed that these events are becoming more common.

Via Michael Quinn Sullivan (earlier this morning):

  • Greg Abbott’s willingness to govern Texas like a lite-version of California’s Gavin Newsom was reflected in his poor showing at CPAC this weekend.

   

  • Attendees to the influential conservative gathering were asked about their interest in various presidential candidates, and Greg Abbott came in dead last – with 0.1% of the votes. Michael Swirsky has the details. Ironically, Mr. Abbott finished behind Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and former Ohio Governor John Kasich.

   

  • The top vote-getters were former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.
  • Just like 1776 and 1836, patriots want fighters – not capitulators.

 

  • In the wake of his declining national profile, the governor has called a press conference later today in Lubbock for a “statewide announcement.”
  • Capitol sources suggest Abbott could announce a withdrawal of his statewide mask order, or at least a “phase out” of it over some period of time. It is unlikely he will “pre-empt” local governments from maintaining their own mask orders.

Abbott Gets 0 Percent in CPAC Presidential Straw Poll
Florida’s Ron DeSantis was the top-polling governor.
By Michael Swirsky | March 1, 2021

https://texasscorecard.com/state/abbott-gets-0-percent-in-cpac-presidential-straw-poll/

Texas’ governor may not be too popular among national grassroots conservatives.

In a presidential straw poll taken of attendees of the Conservative Political Action Conference over the weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott received 0 percent of the vote. Former President Donald Trump led the poll with 55 percent, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in second place with 21 percent. Texas’ Sen. Ted Cruz received 2 percent.

Even Republican politicians with reputations as political moderates—who weren’t expected to poll well among CPAC’s attendees—outperformed Abbott, with Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (0.3 percent) and former Ohio Governor John Kasich (0.1 percent) edging him out.

Nixing Trump from the poll didn’t offer much help. While Ron DeSantis soared to 43 percent in a second straw poll excluding the former president, Abbott inched to a mere 0.1 percent.

Abbott has received heavy criticism from grassroots activists for his response to the COVID-19 pandemic. While he has touted an end to shutdowns in his state, Texas’ governor has still retained restrictions on bars and other types of businesses. “Fifty-one percenters,” a group of bar owners prohibited from operating due to the state’s coronavirus mandates, sued Abbott to remove some of the restrictions.

The governor who performed best in the straw poll, Ron DeSantis, gained national attention in September for suspending all COVID-19 restrictions in Florida.

Last week, Abbott hinted that he would make an announcement ending coronavirus mandates “pretty soon.” Abbott has yet to make such an announcement.

THE REMNANT IS AWAKENING…
march 2, 2021 the marshall report

https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2021/03/02/the-remnant-is-awakening/

Why would God’s people be referred to as a remnant? What is a remnant? I pondered this today and tried to understand it. I thought to compare a remnant from the entire woven bulk of cloth….. and thought, what is a remnant used for? Patching? Quilting? The last of something? What if it is the last of something coming together and forming a new thing? Like Joseph’s coat of many colors?

Was Joseph’s coat of many colors made from remnants? Or did it symbolize remnants? I had never thought of this before I pondered the word remnant. “Now Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colours.” – Genesis 37:3


singingsoul1

Making him a coat of many colors could be that the fabric was multi color ?
There might have been status having such coat and it was not a plain coat. Joseph’s brothers were envious of him. Just wondering

duchess01

“Now Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a coat of many colours.” – Genesis 37:3

Showing him favors ?

jamcooker

The coat would have been specially constructed. The thread to make the fabric was most likely dyed before the cloth was hand woven, and the resulting fabric probably striped.

cthulhu

Over the centuries, an interesting amount of chemistry and trade have been driven by textile dye. There are longstanding traditions of the dye being applied both before and after weaving.

duchess01

Or remnants sewn together – maybe, Jam?

Interesting – had not thought about the possibility of dying beforehand – Thanks!!!

jamcooker

I would be surprised if clothing were not cut at that time to avoid wastage, not form fitting, and the use of sashes or cords employed to fasten clothing.

duchess01

Do you mean ‘worn out’ clothing, Jam? Saving the ‘good pieces’?

jamcooker

No. A good seamstress prizes thriftiness when cutting pattern pieces from fabric; to have as little “wastage” as possible. I would assume in earlier times that was fairly standard because everything was hand made- sewn, woven, etc. I’m pretty sure that a coat at that time was constructed of mostly rectangular pieces of fabric, and may have been more like a cape, with rudimentary “sleeves”, and with a belt of sorts, probably a cord (rope like).

When I sewed a lot, I would purchase just enough fabric to make whatever it was, hoping to have little to none leftover that would be useful for anything. Literally, a small hand full of scrap material that’s too small to be useful for anything.

Aside from all that, a coat of many colors would have been a prized possession, something not at all common. I’m sure that most of the every day clothing was fairly plain.

duchess01

Interesting Insight, Jam – only a seamstress would understand the concept as well as you do!

Most definitely! The ‘Coat of Many Colors’ WAS unique and prized!!!

Remnants – just a bit of the whole remains.

Theodor Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, said “entire branches of the Jewish people may fall away – but the trunk remains.”

“Cut-flower phenomenon: History shows that substitutes for halachic [halacha = religious law] Judaism have a shelf life of four generations or less. Reform Judaism’s founder Moses Mendelssohn had 9 grandchildren; 8 of them were baptized as Christians.

“Zionist founder Theodore Herzl’s children were not only not Zionists, they were not Jews. How many of the grandchildren of the great Yiddish writer I.L. Peretz married under a chupah? How many of his great-grandchildren know what a chupah is? …

“…The ‘cut-flower phenomenon’ illustrates the predicament of Jewish culture. Cut flowers are doomed to die because they are severed from their roots, just as Jewish culture has been severed from its roots in the Jewish religion. The solution is obvious: reclaim the religious roots of Jewish culture.” (AISH HaTorah)

yucki

“Remnant” is common usage to describe the fraction of Jews who remain rooted in faith and practice over time and place. It’s a translator’s approximation from the original Hebrew.

Examples:
• Moses could convince only a remnant of Jewish slaves to follow him out of Egypt.

• When the Persian king gave the Jews permission to leave Babylon and rebuild the Temple, only a remnant chose to trade the fleshpots for the rigors of the Holy Land.

• Diaspora assimilation: Centuries before the destruction of the Second Temple, Jewish populations lived in Egypt, China, India, Greece, and Rome.[*]

They sent delegations to Jerusalem on every holiday, brought donations for Temple upkeep. But that only lasted a few generations. Only a remnant retained their identity and continued to practice the faith of their fathers.
___________

[*]Julius Caesar had many Jewish friends, spoke Hebrew. It could’ve been so different had he not been murdered!

As the slang goes, I’m pickin’ up what you’re layin’ down. You seem to be bringing some good knowledge to the tree.

duchess01

Fascinating, Yucki!!! Thanks for the education!!!

yucki

The space between Scripture in Hebrew and all translations is vast. Well-intentioned believers derive entire fundaments from a single mistranslated word. That has led to schisms.

duchess01

True, Yucki! It is ‘mistranslation’ and ‘misinterpretation’ that cause rifts and separation from the truth.

Another split-second, another Democrat scandal . . .

Michigan Gov. Whitmer paid top health official massive sum in secret deal after his abrupt resignation: report
‘What is Whitmer trying to hide?’
CHRIS ENLOE March 02, 2021

https://www.theblaze.com/news/michigan-gov-whitmer-secret-deal

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has found herself in hot water after her administration agreed to pay former state Health Department Director Robert Gordon more than $150,000 in taxpayer money after he abruptly resigned his position in January.

The deal, which was first reported by the Detroit News, was made with the requirement that it remain confidential.

What are the details?
According to the Detroit News, Gordon was paid $155,506, a total of nine months salary and health benefits, in agreement for releasing the state “from any potential legal claims.”

“The agreement is the clearest evidence yet that the split between Gordon … and Whitmer was not amicable, and it shows the Democratic administration used taxpayer funds to ease his departure,” the Detroit News reported.

The deal was inked on Feb. 22, one month after Gordon, who helped coordinate Michigan’s COVID-19 pandemic response, abruptly left his job.

The separation agreement stipulates that, out of the interest of confidentiality, the state would tell Gordon’s future employers that he voluntarily resigned.

It’s really so simple and yet the leaders of the Republican Party have no idea what it is. In 2016 Americans told the leaders of the GOP what they wanted. It was summed up in a few words. One slogan was “Drain the Swamp” 

Another was “Lock Her Up”

‘Build the Wall’ and ‘CNN Sucks’ were other slogans. It’s amazing that the most important and emotional policies that Americans wanted from this President when he was campaigning were captured in slogans!

In their introduction the RNC, led by Mitt Romney’s niece, Ronna Romney McDaniel, lists what the RNC believes are the key questions of the party only a couple of months after the 2020 election was stolen: [pic here, in the article].

Not a single point addressed the election being stolen or fighting for President Trump. Next, they followed up the letter with a survey: [another pic].

Again, not a single question related to the 2020 election being stolen was in the survey.

The GOP is not fighting for President Trump. McConnell, McCarthy, Pence, Liz Cheney, and Ms. Romney McDaniel all abandoned the Trump ship months ago. They ignored the massive election and voter fraud in the 2020 election and moved on.

Then, to top it all off, the GOP, after asking for donations, has the audacity to send an ‘Order of Merit’ award signed by Mike Pence:

comment image

This has to be one of the dumbest ideas I’ve seen, despite that one of the signatures is that of PDJT. A meaningless piece of paper that no one cares about, and that is obviously part of a fund-raising scheme.

These people have no idea what is going on. Sending a Trump supporter, which is nearly everyone in the Republican Party with the exception of a few cranks in leadership, a document signed by Mike Pence is a slap in the face. After what Pence did on January 6th, no Trump supporter wants anything to do with Mike Pence.

The Republican Party is lost. It’s a puzzle why they would not fight for the real winner of the greatest election win in US history. Even most Democrats know Biden didn’t out-perform Hillary or Obama in 2008. Trump beat them all.

What today’s GOP leadership is showing is that if they are in your corner, and you support American ideals, you are on your own. If they won’t even recognize the election was stolen from President Trump, they will never stand and fight for you.

This goes along with what so many here have expressed. We have to keep working, but to ignore what happened in 2020 is political suicide.

Yeah, “Make the GOP the Country Club Party Again!” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Chuck DeVore: Texas’ blackouts – here’s the truth about why they happened and what we have to do next

Green New Deal would create ‘more events’ like Texas power outage: Rick Perry
Rick Perry, former Energy Secretary and former Texas governor, discusses the potential impacts of progressive energy policies on ‘America Reports.’

As Texas entered a deep freeze on Feb. 14, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio broke seven record lows over three days. Ice-laden trees snapped power lines. Wind turbines ground to a halt while some reliable natural gas, coal and nuclear plants failed to get energy to the grid. Electricity demand hit an all-time high – but the supply wasn’t available, plunging some four million Texans into the cold and darkness.  

As massive gas-powered turbines spun down across Texas and the lights went out, an aggressive narrative spun up: the electric grid failed in Texas, not because wind and solar failed, but due to a lack of regulatory power to force the electric industry – from natural gas producers to pipeline operators to power generators, and lastly, the transmission line firms – to winterize. It was a failure of Texas’ unregulated free market. And further, this extreme weather event was a harbinger of more to come due to climate change, necessitating even more wind and solar power.   

This narrative, pushed out by the renewable industry and environmentalists, found a sympathetic mouthpiece in corporate media

The narrative is wrong. 

There are three electric grids in the continental U.S with Texas having its own grid providing power to about 90% of Texans. This electrical independence allows Texans to escape a certain amount of federal meddling in its electric affairs – though it also makes Texans largely responsible for their own problems.   

Addressing those problems, the Texas Legislature held marathon hearings a week after the freeze. That testimony, and an increasing flow of information from operators on the ground, has produced a more complete picture of what went wrong during a storm that plunged Texas into a deep freeze colder than most of Alaska. 

There are two general reasons for Texas’ prolonged power outages, one proximate to the storm and involving a series of on-the-ground mistakes and cold-related failures, and one the result of long-term policy.  

However, it was the policy failures over 20 years that allowed the storm-related failures to become persistent and deadly.  

It’s important to note that had every Texas generator powered by natural gas, coal, nuclear and hydro operated at full output during the height of the storm’s demand, Texas still would have experienced planned blackouts. That Texas’ grid has become increasingly dependent on unreliable wind and solar is largely to blame for this critical shortfall.  

Federal and state tax policy have encouraged the overbuilding of wind, and to a lesser extent, solar power, resulting in cheap, subsidized power flooding the Texas grid. This inexpensive but unreliable power has acted as a powerful disincentive to build needed natural gas power plants.  

In the past five years, Texas saw an increase of about 20,000 megawatts of installed wind and solar capacity with a net loss of 4,000 megawatts of gas and coal-fired powerplants. This 4,000 megawatts, had it been built or not prematurely retired, would have saved lives during the 2021 St. Valentine’s Day Storm.  

Because ERCOT, Texas’ grid operator, didn’t have enough reliable safety margin meant that when things started to go wrong on early Monday morning, they got worse fast.  

So, did the unusually cold weather cause power plant failures?  

Winter isn’t over, but Texas – and California and other Western states – are at increased risk of blackouts this summer.

We know that wind turbines were affected, with half of them freezing up. Over the course of 2019, Texas wind produced about 34% of its capacity – from hour-to-hour and season-to-season, sometimes more than 70%, sometimes close to zero. At one point during the storm, solar was producing no electricity while wind produced about 1% of its potential output. Since electricity must be produced the moment it is needed, that meant that natural gas power plants had to make up the shortfall.   

The emerging data from thermal – gas, coal, and nuclear – power plants suggests that there were some cold-related failures. But, as ERCOT struggled to keep the lights on, the grid became unstable, tripping additional power plants offline to protect their massive generators from destructive interaction with a fluctuating line frequency.   

As ERCOT issued the order to start load shedding – rotating blackouts – some of the darkened circuits included vital oil and gas infrastructure. This uncoordinated move starved natural gas power plants of their fuel – leading to a further loss of power and the widespread and incorrect rumor that wellhead and pipeline freeze off contributed to the disaster.  

When these systems lost power, gas production dropped 75%. An Obama-era environmental rule that forced oilfield compressors to switch from natural gas to electric likely made things worse. Eventually, power was restored, and natural gas production ramped back up to meet electricity generation demand.  

Winter isn’t over, but Texas – and California and other Western states – are at increased risk of blackouts this summer. This is due to policy that favors unreliables – wind and solar – over reliable electricity from gas, coal and nuclear.   

In Texas, it’s an overbuilding of wind. In California, an overbuilding of mandated solar. In both states, this has caused the grid to become increasingly at risk of blackouts at times when nature doesn’t cooperate.   

As America builds more wind and solar – with a renewed push from the Biden administration –the costs to prevent blackouts will mount in the form of massive battery farms to store power or increasingly large numbers of backup gas power plants. Instead, we should end subsidies for all energy sources while making wind and solar pay for the reliability costs they impose on the grid.

Thanks for posting. Have spammed out.

Lessons learned for folks in many states adopting unreliable wind and solar.

Another warning across our bows as wind and solar is increasingly relied on, with INSUFFICIENT back up power sources.

TheseTruths

Scientists believe we entered a Grand Solar Minimum in 2020. Besides cooling of temperatures, another effect is an unstable Jet Stream, which can allow frigid temperatures to reach farther south than usual. It’s all described in this excellent article first posted by michaelh, I think.

States need to be ready for cooling and heating needs as weather patterns change.

From our local dentist:

Information regarding Governor Abbott’s lifting of the mask mandate: The Texas State Board of Dental Examiners has issued a statement to all dentists regarding the lifitng of this executive order. Emergency COVID protocols put in place last year by the TSBDE are not affected by the governor’s decision. We have been instructed to continue to follow the precautions set forth and regulated by the board. Due to this ruling by the board, our office will continue with precautions which include wearing of a face covering while in our office with the exception of receiving treatment.

Don’t celebrate too soon, Texas.

kalbokalbs

As with ALL of America, it IS time to push back against masks.

Dental weenies demand patients wear masks, CANCEL THE dental appointment. GO next year.

Obviously emergent dental care must be taken care of. But, IMO, most dental appointments are really quite routine and can easily be put off, with no real impact on the patient.

Let the dentists experience MORE fall off in business and maybe they’ll reconsider Board of Dental Examiner EDICTS.

para59r

I’m sure all Federal offices to include military bases will be similarly effected by the Governors order, that is to say not effected at all, which means no relief from the mask for them.

If such is so it might be interesting to see how that plays out between the newly freed and yet to be freed breathers. I’m assuming of course there will be some resentment about not being freed and if duly directed it will be directed up toward their authority figures and will eventually rise to a high enough level to smack Biden and the CDC in their head.

Of course this will likely accompany a new onslaught of woe be us news as cases and death rate reports go on the incline despite the vaccines. I can hardly wait for all the pretzel logic headed our way.

Either the governor is the highest authority in the State of Texas, or the TSBDE is.

So which is it?

Our country is so &^$%ed up, nobody even knows who is in charge, for TWO simple reasons:

1) the Left subverts everything and ignores the law

and

2) the lawful Authority does NOTHING to stop the Left, which encourages and rewards their lawless chaos

BOTH sides deserve to be beaten into paste.

Abbott dropped the statewide mask mandate.

That does not affect county or municipal mandates.

That does not affect professional organizations (guild systems) like dentists, teachers, pharmacists, health care workers.

That does not affect colleges and universities and their policies.

That does not affect school district policies.

That does not affect churches, denominations, or other religious institutions’ policies.

That does not affect the policies of businesses.

That does not affect the policies of large retail chain stores.

That does not affect the policies of local businesses, including bars and restaurants.

In short, all it does is take the pressure off Abbott. Meanwhile the Karen Army is still hard at work protecting you from yourself.

scott467

So Abbott dropped the lawless and unconstitutional STATE mandate, but did absolutely nothing to end all of the lawless and unconstitutional and redundant mandates from tyrants who are lower in the pecking order.

So Abbot didn’t actually help anybody. He removed the governor’s boot from everyone’s throat, but left all the lesser tyrants’ boots on everybody’s throats.

I hope Abbot gets primaried by a MAGA candidate endorsed by DJT.

michaelh

Abbott didn’t have the authority in the first place!

And unless he starts making some phone calls and calling people out, basically nothing’s changed.

On a crazy business trip this week. An overnighter behind enemy lines in California. Then back to Salt Lake. Getting my rental car. I grab my car and drive up to the check out. Hand my credit card, license to the booth guy. He has the sliding door closed, masked up. He points to the sign, mask required. He ain’t opening the door until I do. First time ever. So I put on the face diaper to make him happy. This guy is wearing two masks.

I sort of feel for these folks. When the truth gets out on the worthlessness of masks, lockdowns, I wonder how these people will deal with this. They have bought this hook line and sinker, with no ability to critically think on their own to see the folly of these actions.

I really put the blame here on the education system of this country which quit teaching decades ago, and now just indoctrinates. The left clearly won in this arena, so no matter what we on the right argue, people like this just cannot comprehend an opposing point of view.

Which is why we really have only the 2022-24 elections to turn this or the country joins the other great nations/empires to fall into the dustbin of history.
