Are ya ready kids? I’m just going to plop all this in here in no particular order.
Liz Cheney wishes she could have Frank Oz’s hand up…never mind.



Shocking, isn’t it, that tires would be required?




Heck, half the old hippies I know drive Audis.



Looks like it’s time to re-read the classics.

Oh, really? This was hard to miss.
I’d say the Napolese are sending a message.
Something to remember, always.

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

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 some mood music:

MARK 6:34-44
34As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late; 36send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat.” 37But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?” 38And he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all. 42And they all ate and were satisfied. 43And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Amen brother.

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

I’m hanging in there. Barely.
Puget Sound roads got black ice and the natives can’t drive it. Lots of cars off the road and one overturned, thanks to an unmarked ditch.
Yuck.
I hope you don’t have to go anywhere until the mess gets sorted.
Reminds me of the Christmas we went to my aunt’s in Chicago area (from Detroit area) & I-94 was insane as you approached Lake Michigan. There were cars off the road on both sides, jackknifed semis, & driving at crawl speeds but still having the wheels spin out & fishtailing and watching other vehicles go off the road in front of us. Oh & seeing multi-car pile-ups when they couldn’t stop on the ice!
The temps dropped to like 60 below w/ 100 below wind chill, iirc during our Chicago stay too. It was a crazy time & it looked like we were bringing the Griswold family Christmas tree on a similar “wood” paneled station wagon for their 2 story living room.
Stay safe AND inside if you can!
60 below? In Chicago?
I think your memory fails you here.
The coldest temperature ever recorded, anywhere in Illinois, is -36. (Colorado comes in at -61, way up in the mountains somewhere no doubt; Montana contributes a -70 to the party, and Alaska comes in at -80 though I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets even colder someplace where there are no thermometers.)
Thanks for calling me on it Steve. My memory is of it being -60 & -100, but perhaps even back then in the late ’70’s or early ’80’s the weather people hyped stuff up. Our dog had to stay in their garage & they kept a fire going in the woodstove next to her “box” but the adjacent water dish always had a film of ice on it even w/ the woodstove going gangbusters. They had a passive solar home & we were comfortably warm inside thankfully, unlike our dog 🙂
It’s also just barely possible you heard a wind chill report and remembered it as the raw temperature. That happens here a lot.
Well I was either a teen or early ’20’s science major, so anything is possible!
Poor dog 🙁
In St Louis when it was real cold and people left their dogs out I called the humane society. Some pets were in bad condition. Persons best friend out in the cold. Some poor dogs died. I wish I could save them all also cats.My dogs snuggle up next to the radiators. The cats love the covers that are on radiators.
I am happy your dog survived.
She was curled up in a cardboard box w/ some blankets & right next to that woodstove. She was a Northern Girl & did OK. I do love your heart of compassion Singing. You are fearfully AND wonderfully made!!! God Bless
Good to hear puppy was warm 🙂
I had a dog he loved to lay on snow when the sun was out and I was out. He was in house when I was in. My two dogs are the same they are out when I am out but want to be in house when I am in house. They fallow me where ever I am . I have to agree they are spoiled 🙂
Our first dog we got as a puppy when we still lived in OK. She was pure bred German Shepherd from a line of police dogs but had some defects in her feet. When we moved to Northern Michigan & she discovered snow she was in heaven. I can still see her leaping through snow, kind of like foxes pouncing on hidden rodents–she absolutely Loved It. She’d always come in w/ a little puff of snow on her muzzle because she Had to poke her nose under the crust of snow. She absolutely Loved living Up North!!! AND Winter <3 🙂 <3
My Woodford Coonhound -Staff mix hates snow and rain. Peri the Cattle dog loves snow but since she is older not so much.
Peri would have had fun when she was young herding Gail’s sheep. She is a natural . She would never hurt them . All our dogs have been rescue.
They sound Very Special!
🙂
Singing,
It really depends on the dog or other animal
IFFFfff they are ALWAYS kept outside
AND
Have shelter from the wind
They will do just fine.
I have lived in upstate New York and in New Hampshire. I have seen temps as low as –40F
We have kept or cats dogs and horses and ponies OUTSIDE!
BUT they were ALWAYS outside, THEY WERE FAT and well fed (extra feed esp hay for the equines since it generates heat)
COLD is not the problem if they have a nice winter coat and a layer of fat. WIND is a problem,..
BUT
The big KILLER is 32F RAIN AND WIND.
That is when I start shoving animals into shelters.
….
Hubby corresponds wit a Russian scientist in Siberia. He has horses outside ALL WINTER. Sergey Zimov is reintroducing wild horses to Siberia.
I can not find his website anymore so here are some articles:
https://www.dawn.com/news/586283/one-scientists-hobby-recreating-the-ice-age

https://siberiantimes.com/science/casestudy/features/f0187-truly-amazing-scientific-discovery-on-adaptation-of-yakutian-horses-to-cold/
I think it all depends why one has animals. Mine are companionship . I realize some people have animals to be outside.
The happiest outside dogs were the one that had companionship another dog. Dogs are herd animals.
I am sure your dog is fine good for you to have a dog 🙂
We do not have any more. My last one was stolen. (Pure bred Pyrenees sheep guard dog.)
They do not need shelter. Heat in the summer is more of a problem.
My boy looked just like this.


Your dog had companionship he was not out there on its own 🙂 Beautiful dog 🙂
I feel for dogs who are out in a back yard nothing else but their dog house. Often they are chained. Here was a group they would go out and take those dogs offer owners money and then find a good home for them. One owner had a Weimaraner on a three foot chain no dog house nothing. Someone offered $60 for the dog and they took the dog home.
People would steel dogs out of backyards sell them for bait in dog fights. That is why my dogs go out when I am out. I never leave them in the yard and go away.
We had one just like that his name was Max. Someone put him out in my neighborhood.
He was a wonderful dog . He was 10 weeks old. If a cat got out he would fetch them bring them back. He also broke up fights if they had them. He was the kindest loving dog.
Now we have the Cattle dog and I am the one she watches 24/7.
Wisdom, Montana, routinely the coldest place in the country. Cute little town in the summer, wisdom keeps me out of Wisdom in the winter!
Yeah, it’s good to chill once in a while…but not that literally.
Lol!
If that would do it, I’d be there right now!
To be fair, those tank treads tear up the mountain passes something fierce…..
Well, yeah….
I suspect it was the second screen from a sentence that had “chains or snow tires required” at the end.
Since that’s what they do on the Donner pass whenever it snows–which it does every afternoon there in springtime.
If you have neither, you can buy a set of chains and even get them installed, by licensed people who work off a fixed price list.
I went to Sacramento one spring, and opted to come back via Bakersfield/Tehachapi (a couple of hundred extra miles–not as bad as one would expect because I-5/Ca-99 run diagonally to the southeast) to avoid that goat rope.
On 58 approaching Tehacapi is the Tehachapi Loop. The train tracks make a full 360 in an incredibly short distance. Toss in another 180 or two. Such a sight.
I’ve spent hours at the Loop. An engineering marvel AND brings out the little kid in some of us. 🙂
—-
Have also diverted to 58/Tehachapi when I-80, US 50 and NV/CA are a goat rope.
What’s a goat rope?
Sorry, my personal slang for ridiculous wastes of time and effort.
Then YOU can come and help me rope goats so I can worm and medicate them..
The billies really stink this time of year. However thanks to Covid I can no longer smell them.🤓
Do goats do anything like a dog’s water-shaking, or are they strictly drip-dry?
Goats HATE WATER they are like cats. They even lick to clean themselves.
The bucks on the other hand are errr, ummm… let’s just say their habits are NOT NICE.
My joining you rope goats would add humor AND I’d likely hurt myself. 🙂
Like how hard it is to pull on a goat (or a Jackass) w/ a rope?
You have not met my BIG Buck billy goat or my neighbors Jack….
My buck is 1/2 boer. A mature Boer buck weighs between 240 and 300 pounds,
This is a milk goat breed. (Alpine)

Yikes!
Thank goodness my bucks have all been sweeties.
The Rams are the ones who are very very dangerous.
Are bucks neutered or just young? Assuming Rams are breeding capable “stallions”…
Bucks are goats; Rams are sheep.
OK thanks–blush emoji 🙂
Goat rope was originally work slang for some sort of briefing that was being put on for a group of people who were basically there to shoot at us and discredit our group so they could get the work themselves. Or for any ritualistic regular briefing we’d have to do, especially if we had to wear suits for it.
I started using it for other purposes (in particular friends’ gatherings that caused them to do an entire day of quite redundant housekeeping beforehand–they’d invite me over to hang out early, and then it’d be impossible to actually socialize with them while they vacuumed). A ton of pointless effort and a waste of my time. I stopped going over early for those things.
At least they didn’t try to Rope you into cleaning too 😉
BAAAAaaZING!
<3
I believe the expression started as a kids’ event at rodeos involving total unproductive chaos.
It did. I was twitting him.
?resize=1200%2C797
Reminds me of a lyric from one of my husband’s old bands, which he came up with based on our insane family life, “Spinning in chaoticness!”
Steve nailed it. In this case apply the Goat Rope to I-80 with impatient stoopid CA drivers NOT heeding the hazards of driving in heavy snow and ice.
Every town/region has it’s share of Stoopid people on the road. I HATE driving within the City of Detroit–especially on the surface streets; people don’t give a Crap about their car Or yours. Going into East Dearborn is like a Middle Eastern mine field, w/ accompanying driving “skills” abounding!
Agree. but it is so easy to poke CA.
For So MANY things too!!!
Ground report. Local schools have moved to remote learning due to staff shortages. Public transportation is reducing some routes due to staff shortages. I mentioned a few days ago that many local restaurants were closed or takeout only over the holidays due to COVID/shortages. As I mentioned in a previous comment, I wonder if one reason the CDC quarantine guidelines were quickly and quietly revised over the Christmas break was because of a genuine possibility of breakdown in public services.
Weirdly enough, local media and local government are not using this prime opportunity to fearmonger or push for masks/lockdowns/the usual COVID BS. I suspect the reasons why are:
1) Big election year.
2) Don’t want to admit that vaccine mandates may have contributed to the staff shortages.
3) Don’t want to risk looking impotent if they do a mask mandate and too many people refuse to comply.
4) Don’t want to cause a panic that is not manufactured or beyond their control.
Is anyone else experiencing similar in their areas?
Kids are going to grow up mean. Many won’t even know how to read and write, especially in the Blue States. Although there will be pockets of sanity and peace I think generally it won’t be a place you want to grow old in.
I spent a bit of this afternoon wandering around Excess Solutions in San Jose.
One of the things that used to make Silicon Valley great was the giant junk houses. There was Halted Specialties and Halteq and Weird Stuff Warehouse and probably another few I can’t remember offhand.
These actually pre-dated the BIG tech boom…..they got rolling more around the time that Hewlett and Packard started in their garage. A lot of the early surplus was from military and aerospace.
If you had a brilliant idea, you could find someone around who would toss some money at you in return for part of your “company”. These could be friends and family, or “angel investors”. Note that this is not ancient history — Theranos sucked-up some family money to get started.
You’d then need some tech workbenches, office chairs, work chairs, maybe power supplies and oscilloscopes, adding machines, tape dispensers, file cabinets…..and you could get this stuff on the cheap because they were about 6th-hand and sold-off to salvage companies right before the owners’ flight to Paraguay. All sorts of things were dumped in — the basic computer systems for running accounting, tech show swag, marketing gimmicks and trade show booths….Weird Stuff famously had people guessing for something like eight months before an object they had for sale was identified as the nose-cone for a Polaris missile. I was in Halteq one time when they had this ginormous laser (looked like the one intended to bisect Bond in Goldfinger) — wasn’t that expensive, either, but they had this big sign that said that they would assume whoever bought it had the requisite FDA permits to light it up. [Yes, laser products are regulated by the FDA…..why do you ask?] Once, I almost bought a VAX 11/780 for about $200 at WS.
In the Golden Age of Silicon Valley, people used to cruise WeirdStuff for intelligence on the competition — InterActive Networks was going big, but all their trade show swag ended-up at WeirdStuff, they were giving up on sales and were about to implode. I remember when a bunch of Sun stuff started showing up…..and when a bunch of SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) workstations got dropped.
But now it’s down to Excess Solutions. I strolled up-and-down the aisles, saying “hello” to old friends long gone. I could recognize and identify about 85% of the stuff there, and some had incredible craftsmanship — particularly that for vacuum process systems.
It’s sad that youngsters won’t have places like that around…..so much just ends up in a landfill. How can they be inspired? How can they practice solving the puzzles that old gear presents? How will they learn “people used to do it this way, but nobody does that any more”?
Shouldn’t be long before Mr Global takes everything worth a damn away, so hey, maybe kids aren’t going to have the choice about prowling around and practicing puzzle solving. Forced fun in everyone’s future?
Problem is, some folks are just too clever….
Once upon a time, I was bequeathed an SGI light-up front-cover panel, presumably off an SGI 7-ft rack that an agency no longer possessed. It was about 6- to 8-inches tall, slightly curved and mostly thick translucent blue lucite with silver connector bars on both ends. It still had 2 connector wires but I couldn’t convince any of the engineers to figure out how to add a battery so I could hang it on the wall and light it up. Therein lies the problem. I was not smart enough to solve that by myself to add a historical reminder. Plus the engineers (one who had worked for Intel) had no curiosity about it. A string of Christmas tree lights would have been too bright, visible, and bulky. I could not find a manual or photos online to get me to specifications. Perhaps you have seen one…
Your best bet would probably be to try to dig into it enough to identify the light source(s).
If LED’s, you have to figure out polarity and voltage. If you’re lucky, you’ll find a little driver board with labels.
Not where I am. Everything seems normal has been like that since covid began. Store are filled Kroger has plenty and when I order items from other place like UPS come within 3-5 days. I think it is just where I live.
TBH, beyond the mask mandates, and the reality that the courts are squashing them, I haven’t been paying enough attention to the local stuff to tell you.
We’ve been out to eat several places & things seem back to nearly normal, though sometimes they have some table sectioned off to enforce “social distancing”. Some staff w/ masks & some not. All of these perspectives are for areas w/in an hour of Detroit.
The hospital remains a near ghost town. The local lab workers, for blood draws, have turned into hardcore mask nazis. I wouldn’t put one on & they refused me service but my son was able to independently handle his paperwork, w/ my prompting from the “airlock” entrance. He wants us to try another lab this month!
A few local Oriental restaurants only have carry out still. One of our favorites has missed out on our business a couple times because of this–they have great Thai food too. A local Italian family owned business no longer had their live musician on the weekend, like they’d had for Years. The service AND the food were a bit diminished, sadly.
The local resale store won’t let customers use their restroom anymore. Our son really needed a bathroom on a recent shopping trip & we stopped at several gas stations & they wouldn’t allow bathroom use either!
We never watch TV news but were passing by the station & they were talking about masking &/or distance learning again–spit! During a kitchen run while watching football I heard another genocide commercial (we almost always mute commercials) promoted by the State of Michigan, aimed at pregnant & nursing mothers & telling them how safe the “vaxs” are–Overt EVIL!!!
It’s like the psychos are conspiring to keep us in our homes AND afraid! Whatever
Bathrooms are mostly open here. Thats just insane excuses. They were shut at some places in the beginning. We were out in the desert needing to go and jack in the bix had everything taped off so you could only go to the counter. The employees were just screwing around and it had zero customers. McDonald’s across the st, fully open and a line up of customers.
Crimes against humanity, the result of tyranny crossed with stupidity!
The reason that stores started having bathrooms open to all was that they were tired of people pissing against their walls.
I guess common sense is out of style.
Not to mention 💩 in the aisles…
Lol
Florence, Italy, is one of the most delightful places on the planet. It’s very prone to “the Disneyland Effect”, where you have so many people having fun amongst detailed scenery that you get a weird feeling that it’s fake and being run behind the scenes for tourists.
And, then, you wander around to the back side of Il Duomo and discover that the cathedral itself is a giant pissoir…..
I went. The 1 chance in Europe i had. The graffiti and dog poop and rude people didnt add to the magic but i liked Italy anyway.
“As I mentioned in a previous comment, I wonder if one reason the CDC quarantine guidelines were quickly and quietly revised over the Christmas break was because of a genuine possibility of breakdown in public services.”
That’s EXACTLY why they changed the guidelines. We are on the brink of a complete and total failure of basic functions. Not just public transport, but food supply, medical care, etc. Complete breakdown. Think like “One Second After” without the EMP.
That’s just my read on it, anyway.
To nit think, One Second After, without the EMP, IS FOOLISH.
Things are NOT getting better.
We are NOT even holding our own.
It will be interesting to see how this gets handled.

Fast answers, long delays, or just dismissal of he case? Money’s on the last two. But hey, got to start somewhere and it will be fun to watch the toadies squirm.
Nice.
This had to be anticipated by Team Cabal, but it’s ballsy to bring it up so near Jan6 — when Team Cabal expects to be in full-throated offense.
Incidentally, was tooling around running errands and an interview came on NPR with Sicknick’s “widow” (they weren’t married). She now wants “Trump in prison” but can’t articulate a reason why that might be appropriate.
I get the feeling that the Jan6 show may not have very long. The ratings suck, and the designated victims seem to be less involved than other people involved…..
interview came on NPR–oppo research or masochism?
Mostly the former. Some traffic.
😉
To my mind this f’ng stinks.
They know that the fedsurrection is being outed and they’re trying to make excuses and blame PDJT for the undercover feds and antifa leading the buffalo jump on the 6th.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10365429/Secret-commandos-authority-shoot-kill-Capitol-January-6-Report.html
Oh, no – this is great news. They had to cough this up to control the release of the information.
Check this out!
This is DOJ and FBI sending in people to make sure and escalate the situation to the bullshit “shelter in place” crap that Nanzi was going to do.
That’s also why they used two MK bots (Ashli and her shooter) to create an incident with a gun.
They used this as cover, because they had their own people break windows, etc. – it wasn’t organic enough – they had to create the violence.
This was ALL such a scam to pin it on Trump.
No, this is the TRUTH coming out, about how they made sure to INFLUENCE the congressional proceedings.
Such a scam!!!
I read the whole article, lopsided as it was. The only reason to watch the DM is it gives a glimp into what’s going to be pushed in the future, they do this all the time, every time.
First shit sticks for the sheep, headline…
“Secret commandos with the authority to ‘shoot-to-kill’ were at the Capitol on January 6 *under Trump’s orders* over fears of a terrorist attack or a plot to attack Pence or a member of Congress, report claims”
Yup! It’s coming down the tracks! Right on time!

This vid is new. Shows a bit more happening in the stair well. This time you can see the cops coming up the stair well get stopped by an authority and waved back down the steps about ten seconds before Ashely is shot. Most turned back, a couple held position until she was shot.
To me it demonstrates that authorities had control of the situation on crowd/Babbitt side of the door. Makes it harder to explain why she was shot IMO.
Haven’t listened to the audio files.
The rotten sniveling government bastards have had all the video, all the audio, for twelve solid months — and have spent all that time trying to edit it into an indictment of Trump.
How ’bout tasting truth? Ashli Babbitt was murdered by US Government personnel. Roseanne Boyland was beaten to death by Capitol Police.
Maybe they get a special badge for murdering US citizens, and those who committed suicide would not wear it proudly.

The Mainstream Media Is Losing The Fight Of Its Life…All Thanks To Joe Rogan (substack.com)
In two hundred years, Rogan will be spoken of the way we speak today of Paul Revere.
Rogan needs to continue exposing the blatant criminal behavior of the USG.
I believe he will.
Insights from CS Lewis, from Bible Gateway:
There are times when we can do all that a fellow creature needs if only he will trust us. In getting a dog out of a trap, in extracting a thorn from a child’s finger, in teaching a boy to swim or rescuing one who can’t, in getting a frightened beginner over a nasty place on a mountain, the one fatal obstacle may be their distrust. We are asking them to trust us in the teeth of their sense, their imagination, and their intelligence. We ask them to believe that what is painful will relieve their pain and that what looks dangerous is their only safety. We ask them to accept apparent impossibilities: that moving the paw farther back into the trap is the way to get it out – that hurting the finger very much more will stop the finger hurting – that water which is obviously permeable will resist and support the body – that holding onto the only support within reach is not the way to avoid sinking – that to go higher and onto a more exposed ledge is the way not to fall. To support all these incredibilia we can rely only on the other party’s confidence in us – a confidence certainly not based on demonstration, admittedly shot through with emotion, and perhaps, if we are strangers, resting on nothing but such assurance as the look of our face and the tone of our voice can supply, or even, for the dog, on our smell. Sometimes, because of their unbelief, we can do no mighty works. But if we succeed, we do so because they have maintained their faith in us against apparently contrary evidence. No one blames us for demanding such faith. No one blames them for giving it.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
Hey Q-Tree family. We’re back on the Covid train chez moi.
Over Christmas our oldest son tested positive & out of an abundance of caution we didn’t spend Christmas Eve/Day or New Years together because hubby’s work no longer pays for mandatory covid time off. We are NOT at all scared of the disease.
Last week my husband used his last personal day of the year to accompany Josiah & I to U of M hospital for J’s Liver Transplant clinic visit. He’s been out to work, including yesterday, out to eat w/ a friend on Saturday, to various stores, & w/ J & I to my parents on Friday to see Michigan get clobbered in the Orange Bowl…
Anyway Monday morning he woke up feeling a bit funny & thought he had a headache coming on, so he took an Excedrin. As his work day was winding down he felt a chill coming on so picked up a thermometer (we’ve moved stuff in our house & couldn’t find the several we have). Initially it was in the mid 97’s but as the evening went on it went up & down on either side of 101.
He started taking Zicam at work & I started working on him w/ different fluids, including a cold care tea that is supposed to be immune boosting. He’s barely a drink sipper as it is so it’s a real pain to get him to up his intake Plus he didn’t want to have to wake up even more frequently to pee–sigh. I got him to eat maybe half a cup of homemade beef soup made from a bone broth.
I’m keeping track of the various meds being used & dove into our stockpile to assist him.
I’ve been trying to get him on a bit of a regimen, w/ partial success for the last 2 weeks+. Here’s the daily thus far:
AM: Vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acid, Men’s 50+ multivitamin
PM: Vitamin C, Glucosamine Chondroitin, every other day Magnesium
Today he took all of the above Plus:
Zicam X3
off brand Benadryl X2
Baby Aspirin
Immune Complex chewable w/ Vitamin C, Zinc, & Elderberry
off brand Nyquil to sleep
He’s been sleeping for more than 7 hours on the couch pretty soundly w/out getting up for the bathroom & w/ no coughing.
He said he felt like he had a bit of a cold but he’s had way worse.
Because of his work requirements he tried to scare up a Covid test. He made an appointment at the local Rite Aide (where we often get family scripts) but it wasn’t until Thursday morning. He ordered a couple of different tests through Amazon, I believe.
I think he told our son, who was back to work today after his extremely mild Covid case. Anyway our son’s neighbor actually had A Bunch of Covid tests so he walked over to our porch & did a 2 nasal swab of my husband then took it back to his house to complete. He texted back a positive result like 5 minutes later.
I tried to get my hubby to get the test details from this neighbor but he doesn’t want to dig into things too deeply, just in case…He wanted to replace the test w/ one he ordered in the mail but the neighbor claims to have like 100 tests so didn’t want it. Hubby cancelled his ordered tests & the one at Rite Aide then.
I believe his work will Make him take the rest of the week off, regardless of how he feels, or if he gets a negative test later. So his “positive” could be a false positive but I’m guessing it’s likely that he’s got a mild case of Omicron (probably similar to what happened with our son). Hubby & I & our 2 kids that lived w/ us last year also had “Covid” & lost our senses of smell, etc. The 2 middle aged people were sicker than the kids but we all were messed up for more than a week plus hubby & I both have some forms of Long-haulers, presumably.
Well I let my parents know of the illness & encouraged them to up their own immune boosting stuff (mentioning aspirin, anti-histamines, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, & Quercetin–or zinc ionophores like green tea & tonic water). We didn’t directly mention the Covid Positive test because they chose to bow out of holiday gatherings (before letting us visit for the football game–sigh–when we all seemed healthy) because of concerns w/ how many people were sick around them, including in their neighborhood. They prayed w/ Michael, which was a bonus.
Well, I’ll keep you apprised of any developments, for the record…
For Josiah & myself we both took that Immune boosting chewable (Vitamin C, Zinc, & Elderberry). I also had extra Vitamin C & chai tea.
We spoke w/ the transplant doc about potentially adding some supplements to Josiah’s regimen (he already takes like 25 pills a day) but that will be a rather slow change, after getting input from the transplant pharmacist at least. He already takes Vitamin C 2X per day, Omega-3, & Vitamin D, plus a multi-vitamin. I figured one immune boosting chewable was not too risky to add to his day. Oh I’ll be encouraging him to eat some of our oranges too, just as an assist.
This looks to be another year where my husband’s sick days (usually they only have 3 for the year) get used up in January–c’est la vie.
Well blessings to all. Hope everyone is enjoying the New Year & God’s Grace being poured out on each of us in the measure that we need!
Thanks for all the news! Will comment later – gotta run now!
Hubby’s still sleeping, though I’ve heard him cough a few times. He’s been out about 8 hours & the med, fake Nyquil, can be retaken every 4 hours. This makes it seem, to me, that he’s not feeling too bad as the med should be completely worn off now.
Well he woke up before I finished writing this & feels like he’s been “hit by a truck”. He took some fluids, ate some beef!, & I got him to down more meds. Fever 100.5 now.
Work knows he’s not coming in & boss asked him directly if he’s “vax’d”. He said No & is concerned about possible implications. Work has gone back to mask crap recently, but mostly if you walk into someone else’s area. If you’re alone in your own space they don’t make a big deal about the mask being up. He usually wears one of those stretchable fabric types around his neck & pulls it up when needed…
For the record everybody really liked that chewable immune boost pill:
Nature’s Truth
Sambucus
Black Elderberry
Immune Complex
60 tablets
I think I found this at a local Meijer’s, it has:

250mg Vitamin C
20mg Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate & Zinc Citrate)
Sambucus Black Elderberry 1000mg

I’m sorry to hear of this news. Sounds like you’re throwing everything at the “virus” that you have. Hang in there!
Sending Good Energy and Deep Healing to you and yours.
Thanks RDS. Blessings! I’ve really barely scratched my stockpile of goodies 🙂
Keep up the TLC and meds!
All of us here, myself included, are sick. The covid mind control campaign has been a success. Every headache or sniffle is followed by ‘ I wonder if this is Cv, should I be tested’…
I’m so trying to show the kids and their mom to not immediately go into the Rona spin..use the common sense that we always used BEFORE this bullshit corona scam.
The bad thing is that most all school absence due to illness must be followed with negative cv test.
Hang in there! Hope you all feel better quickly. Illness is a “normal” part of life, at least after The Fall. We need to restore common sense about this at some point. Being terrified of a “cold” is bat-crap Crazy!!!
Exactly. It sets my teeth on edge every time people yap about testing. We don’t even ask what kind of testing. For an illness with almost 100% recovery rates.
They’ve managed to make people petrified of being sick, under-the-weather, sniffles !!!
Yes, psychotic hypochondriasis! Massive Pass 😉
Spare me a sick man!
I saw a hilarious candle the other day. It’s call “Covid-19; It’s Like Man-Flu, But Worse!”
I hope you and your whole family get better quickly.
LOL! We’re doing relatively well. Hubby’s awake for a bit now & shuffling between TV & phone. I can’t remember the last time he spent the Entire Night on the couch 🙂

A surprising post from RCP – The Big Lie and the Elastic Truth – How to Invent a Coup.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/01/03/the_big_lie_and_the_elastic_truth_how_to_invent_a_coup_146973.html
Starts off: “I’ve taken a guilty pleasure recently in watching the faux intellectuals on MSNBC and CNN pass judgment on not just Donald Trump, but also on everyone who shares his disdain for authoritarian pronouncements on COVID-19, election integrity, climate change and a host of other issues.
From what I can tell after studying Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Jake Tapper and the late, lamented Chris Cuomo, liberalism today is characterized by a low regard for the intelligence of average Americans and a very high regard for the elastic nature of language.”
and it gets better…a lot better.

NICE!!!
Hi Wolf! Replying to a comment so you’ll see it.
Now that we have the information about the cemeteries and baby graves, not only in the post but in the comments, what do you think we should do with it?
I thought about sending it to TGP again, but I really would like to do something more.
What if we could get it to RFK, Jr.? And maybe to President Trump?
There is contact info for Kennedy here:
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/about-us/contact/
Thoughts?
“…What if we could get it to RFK, Jr.?…”
VERY GOOD IDEA!!!
Even if you just send him a link to the article. His staff is likely to look at it. They will probably be happy that all their hard work paid dividends.
Also they have the staff to do FOIAs.
Right! If I had resources, I would go start knocking on doors and asking questions. But I don’t. We need someone who does.
I hope there are people already looking into it. But we need to let them know we’re out here and paying attention and willing to get to the bottom of it.
Yes, we do.
I think the RFKJ direction is good, because it may get back to the people who worked the first story, or people who are more familiar with it. But I suspect that by now, some of the GWP people are familiar enough with things, that they may be able to get more done, too.
RFKJ for sure, IMO. After that, maybe GWP, NOQ, and a few others.
Did you find any pictures of the 2012 names? I think that might be helpful for me to add in if they’re out there.
I wish I still lived in the area or knew someone who was still there.
So, the graves at the other cemetery in New York didn’t have photos with the listings. That doesn’t mean there isn’t any marker; it just means no one has photographed it and posted it to Findagrave. I can put in a request for a photo, but that often takes a while, since it is all done by volunteers.
I was hoping that someone, whether RFKJ or GWP or somebody with some resources could put someone on the ground to investigate. If I had a way, I would go and do it myself.
Where in NY is the second site, near NYC or further upstate.
It is in Farmington, on Long Island. Not far from Incarnation, about thirty miles east.
HMMmmmmm
May have some contacts in LI but I do not know if they are able to get around. (Getting old is a real PAIN)
Sorry, not Farmington, FARMINGDALE. On Long Island.
I am in the process of composing an email to RFKJ with a link to this post. Hope he sees it.
The problem is the people we know are late 70s and early 80s with no children so I hate to ask them to traipse around in the cold.
Yeah, that’s a lot to ask.
I just sent Kennedy an email. I hope he will do something. He has money, prestige and power.
AND also knows people in that area.
Yeah, I hear you! This all bears immediate investigation.
I emailed this to RFKJ last night. I hope someone will pick it up and run with it. I wish I could investigate on the ground. The internet is handy, but no substitute in this instance.
Good! At least you got that information to the right place.
Nothing may happen immediately, but if, 6 months from now, the past catches up with Fauci, we’ll know why!
I also sent it to GWP this morning. I hope they assign someone to actually research all of this on the ground.
Good move!!!
🙂
Good advice

Bravo, Mr President!

Have to wonder what the (ex)Husbands ever saw in those skanks…
More Penny Dreadful than Pennie[sic] Pro-vax…
LOL, no doubt. I was wanting to link her name to another pen– word too 😉
With women like this, the rest of us never stood a chance.
OR the rest of us become the saving grace for the guys who escape the clutches of such types! AND our guys (sometimes) know how good they have it too!
Hubby told me about a meme he’d seen about the women who actually like guns, fast cars, AND sex! Hmmm 😉
Guns definitely add +2 “Bo Derek 1-10” units (or two thirds of the distance to 10, whichever is less).
That’s an equation that would be fun to see illustrated!!! 😉 Someone might even have to break out those storied WGTT’s!
With pictures to entertain slow folk like me.
Nothing slow about you KBK!!!
Heck, gals can gain a point with just a happy smile (or lose a point for RBF)….
Love it. Just even Seeing someone’s smiling mouth is practically a privilege in these insane times!
How dumb are they? God help us !

Sadly, we passed two milestones on VAERS. Over 1 million adverse events and over 21,000 deaths. 30% of those deaths occurred on day 0, 1, or 2 following vaccination. When will federal agencies start being transparent with Americans? Why do they continue to ignore early treatment?

Poso points out pain!

Very nice Tuesday post, DP–Thanks!!!
Glad your sister is choosing the red vs the blue pill!
Respect Rand Paul for this. Mark Levin did it right after Trump was banned.
Good for him. But I see this as a way to transition to Trump Social without having an obvious cut-off from social media when TS is launched, which is also good.

The life insurance story gains legs.
And there’s another wrinkle to this situation, too —
LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE.
My own Long-Term Care Insurance policy premium JUST INCREASED BY 30%.
The “reason” given by John Hancock was that, after a “careful review”, it was “discovered” that apparently a LOT more Long-Term Care policyholders were making claims. So, “in order to maintain the quality of our product offerings”, the premiums of ALL Long-Term Care policyholders went sky-high.
I strongly suspect that the increase in claims was, and is, being driven by “people of a certain age” who get “vaccinated”, then get complications from the vaxx severe enough to have to go into long-term care.
And here’s the real kicker: John Hancock offers a couple of “options” to LTC policyholders who can’t afford to pay the new insurance premiums — A, keep the same payment amount from last year BUT have a “benefit cap” with no “bonus payout” rider; or, B, lower the payment amount AND ALSO drastically lower the monthly benefit amount plus the “no bonus”.
The company now states that LTC insurance policy premiums “may rise from year to year, depending on company review of claims.”
We needed to see this so we know One America insurance report was NOT a one off.
We also should see a spike in deaths, year over year. Regardless if the dead were insured or not.
This guy is admitting to “euthanizing” patients, like in the Auschwitz gas chambers. I think they sped up his speech, perhaps to fit it into a twit world video time limit, so he sounds a bit Alvin & the Chipmunks, unfortunately…

Look up the Pulmonary Nurse from SC that begged our state to stop testing so high. He was close to retiring, was paid 80/hr, was offered 100/hr to travel but instead he quit his job. The man was in tears. He felt like he was complicit in murders and their facility is high ranked.

Saw this on twit world reading comments to the guy who read the Rogan Malone transcript into the Congressional Record. Dr. Malone is one of the signatories!

Q-Tree doctors & scientists should read, & potentially sign, this document, imo.
They provide supporting links to their statements too!
Here’s the link regarding natural immunity, for example:

Life insurance companies sound DEATH ALERT warnings over nearly 100,000 excess deaths per month happening right now in the USA

JWST: The sunshield is in progress. Apparently they’ve done layer 4 and are working layer 5.
Next step, likely on Thursday, is the secondary mirror, which sits at the end of a now-folded tripod. This will reflect the light gathered by the main (big) mirror(s) back into the black tower in the center of the main mirror(s) and into the instrument packages.
Mirror temperature is now -205 F, other parts on the shady side are down to -318 F.
Did they ever deploy the rest of the main mirror?
Nope, that’s the LAST big step.
Basically–four steps to go. 1) secondary mirror 2) radiator panel for the instruments
3) Left side of the main mirror, 4) Right side of the main mirror.
At which point it’s deployed, but then they spend a LONG time (several days at least) getting the 18 pieces of the main mirror aligned.
From NASA:
Note that a temperature difference of over 600 F will be maintained by five large sheets of reflectorized plastic spaced a total of six feet across. No air conditioning, no heat pumps.
Would be interesting, though, if they could use that temperature differential for power (OK, asking a bit much there)… thinking of Isaac Asimov’s Trantor…
Some sort of Peltier system might manage something there.
But usually they run that the other way, using power to create a differential.
Yep, I have a portable fridge/cooler for the car that has a Peltier element. Not too cold, but a great cheaper than one with a compressor.
(Having said that, the glovebox in my Touran has an A/C duct going to it which can get quite cold if it’s opened – but that’s compressor-driven cooling)…
Thanks for the update, Steve! Every success makes me smile.
