Dear KAG: 20210520 Daily Open Thread

With all due apologies to our dear site host, this bossy Midwestern chick is claiming this space to be a:

GUILT FREE ZONE

Got that? None of this:

I went into a local grocer and the sign on the door said, “Please wear a mask if not fully vaccinated.”

Being one to go with the flow an not make waves, of course I did what all good nuns in casinos try to achieve. I strived to “blend in.” The head, though, was all:

Kiss my grits, people. It’s ME protecting myself from the narcissistic twits and the transfer from their virtue signaling shots that I’m worried about. Not people who ran out without doing their due diligence and got an experimental inoculation that might kill them.

Of course, in six months…not going there right now. Just keeping the voice in shape.

Okay, so, the squatter in the Oval Office made a…seriously, there are no words for this.

Even in a reality TV sort of movie, this AIN’T acceptable from someone playing Commander in Chief. This guy needs a better script writer.

Who the heck says that to ANY branch of the military.

It seems that the Centers for Disease Control is continually revising the number of true COVID deaths in the last year down. That being the case:

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. Say hi to anyone who is actually hanging out there for the rest of us. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.

All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information.

Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.

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

  1. No food fights
  2. No running with scissors
  3. If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon

Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and not perpetual high school sophomores or the back row of the soprano section in any big chorus:

If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.

The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.

JOHN 14:12-17

12“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. 13Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; 14if you ask anything in my name, I will do it. 15“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, 17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you.

Prayers for the nation, the salvation of humanity, and all of us here – lurkers and members – as well as our families, are welcome.
