Here we are. Friday. In honor of the day, today’s libation is a Rusty Nail.
For decades, one of the hottest cocktails was the Rusty Nail. But after a good run, the simple combination of scotch and the scotch-based liqueur Drambuie, a word derived from Gaelic meaning “the drink that satisfies,” has fallen off most bar menus and is rarely ordered by patrons.
Just as mystifying as its disappearance was its appearance in the first place. The lineage of the potent after-dinner libation is contested, with many believing it was invented in 1937 for the British Industries Fair trade show. It does appear in the 1967 edition of “Old Mister Boston Official Bartender’s Guide,” the cocktail book of record through the post-Prohibition 20th century. (A similar drink, dubbed the Little Club #1, is included in Ted Saucier’s 1951 “Bottoms Up.”)
By the late 1960s, bars in New Orleans and New York were serving the concoction, and “Have you tried a Rusty Nail?” was a common refrain. The Rusty Nail is often credited to the clever bartenders at the 21 Club in Manhattan sometime in the early 1960s. It makes sense, being that the establishment created the famous B & B—half Bénédictine and half cognac—as well. It’s easy to imagine that the talented crew applied the same formula to another cordial and liquor, but I haven’t been able to substantiate that claim.
Lore has it that the Rat Pack was enamored with the drink, which may have been responsible for the wide appeal in those years. In the 1970s, I mixed many a Rusty Nail at the joints I worked at in New York. They were also a hit at P.J. Clarke’s, a favorite late-night haunt of Frank Sinatra.
As with lots of classics, the recipe varies widely. Ted Haigh, the author of “Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails,” likes two parts scotch to one part Drambuie; “Old Mister Boston” calls for a one-to-one ratio; and many modern versions are far drier, with some suggesting four parts whisky to one part liqueur. You could also substitute bourbon for scotch and get a Rusty Spike. But the Rusty Nail is a classic for a reason, and the two-to-one ratio will always be a fine example of the drink.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces scotch
- 3/4 ounce Drambuie
Steps
- Add the scotch and Drambuie into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
- Strain into a rocks glass over one large ice cube.
So simple even the Scots can make it. Of course, most of their food is based on a dare.
Okay, in case you haven’t heard, Elon Musk put out an offer to buy Twitter outright on Thursday. Dopey Prince Alaweed from Saudi Arabia turned him down, and the whole platform went nuts with the snowflakes melting as if the sun was shining on asphalt.
These are in no particular order as it is late, and I am pressed for time.
From Sundance:
What Elon Musk appears to be doing is perhaps the biggest story that few understand.
I share this perspective having spent thousands of hours in the past several years deep in the weeds of tech operating systems, communication platforms, and the issue of simultaneous users. What Twitter represents, and what Musk is attempting, is not what most would think.
In the big picture of tech platforms, Twitter, as an operating model, is a massive high-user commenting system.
Twitter is not a platform built around a website; Twitter is a platform for comments and discussion that operates in the sphere of social media. As a consequence, the technology and data processing required to operate the platform does not have an economy of scale.
There is no business model where Twitter is financially viable to operate…. UNLESS the tech architecture under the platform was subsidized.
In my opinion, there is only one technological system and entity that could possibly underwrite the cost of Twitter to operate. That entity is the United States Government, and here’s why….
There is no business model, even with paying subscribers, for Twitter to exist. As the business grows, the costs increase, and the costs to subscribers would grow. So, what is going on?
The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account.
If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. Let that sink in.
The U.S. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database. The backbone of Twitter is the United States government.
There is simply no way the Fourth Branch of Government, the U.S. intelligence system writ large, is going to permit that discovery.
Please, continue reading at Conservative Treehouse.
He’s right. Rumor was that Twitter is a clown operation.
And our own P-Rex offered this:
Giggle, told you all the other day. Musk is set on buying and REMAKING Twitter. Step one, buy “controlling interest” Done. Step two refuse LAME attempt to stop him by offering him a CONTROLLED and LIMITED board seat DONE.
Step three make HUGE offer for entire company 43 BILLION. DONE
Step four remove current corrupt governing officers (Twitter CEO CFO, and Board) COMING…part of the deal to buy, is the current loons MUST GO.Musk will put HIS people in place.Step five go about accessing and REMOVING via reassignment, demotion, or plain old firing all the leftist supervisors that do the “grunt” work in censoring conservatives. COMING soon after the board is gone.
Step six Put in new or retrained and FAIR minded supervisors who will NOT bow to censorship.
Step seven open new improved and once again FREE Twitter HAPPENS before the midterms.
Step eight Trump is triumphantly returned to Twitter THEN proceeds to decimate Dems and RINOS causing a seismic shift in Congress.
Step nine. New RINO limited Republican Congress opens can of WHOOP Ass on Dems, RINOS, and the Globalists including Covid lies, vaccine lies, Ukraine lies, and election fraud. Trump assists with EVIDENCE.Step 10 Trump reelected in new FREE FAIR election and goes about fixing the shit storm we are in AND at the same time PUNISHING those that got us there AND their enablers.
Step 11 FREEDOM and PROSPERITY return. Musk quadruples investment, and is hailed a true patriot…
This is PART of what is going on behind the scenes. FIRST the LIAR MSM leftist propaganda machine MUST be neutralized, taking away one of their BIG hammers does that
Second, the truth must be spread FAR and wide
Third The election fraud will be EXPOSED, disseminated, and thereby allowing CONTROLS to be put in place to STOP it from happening again.
Fourth REAL Reps take over Congress, root out corruption, graft, fraud on BOTH sides (hearings etc
Fifth Trump retakes WH, eliminates the corruption in the executive branch especially intelligence and DOJ.
Sixth new JUSTICE MAGA people are installed in the corrupts places.
Seventh evidence presented in the new FREE Twitter to the masses, AND revealed in the NEW Rep Congressional hearings, is presented to Durham, who convenes grand juries and subpoenas.
Eighth evidence is presented to NEW MAGA AG and DOJ.
Ninth, the NEW DOJ and AG run the trials not through the corrupt systems in DC, NY, or CA, but through MAGA jurisdictions, all while Trump is appointing even MORE MAGA judges and justices to “flip” and weed out leftist loyalists (who also now will face the VERY REAL option of being IMPEACHED by the new Rep Congress.
Tenth, the guilty who did so much harm, the ones that have not too the “easy way out” will FINALLY come to see JUSTICE.Peace, prosperity TRUTH, and the rule of LAW return. There will be MUCH rejoicing. Somewhere in Heaven the good Lord gives a thumbs up, winks at the founding fathers, and says maybe judgement day can wait just a little longer.
Let’s hope so.
In the meantime, all the bed wetting is getting entertaining

According to ancient oral tradition as written down by the Church Fathers, while Christ was hanging on the cross, He recited this.
Psalm 21
[1] Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. [2] O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. [3] O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. [4] But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel. [5] In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
[2] “The words of my sins”: That is, the sins of the world, which I have taken upon myself, cry out against me, and are the cause of all my sufferings.
[6] They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. [7] But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. [8] All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. [9] He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. [10] For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
[11] I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother’s womb thou art my God, [12] Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. [13] Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me. [14] They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring. [15] I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
[16] My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. [17] For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. [18] They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me. [19] They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. [20] But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
[21] Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog. [22] Save me from the lion’s mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. [23] I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. [24] Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. [25] Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
[26] With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. [27] The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever. [28] All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. [29] For the kingdom is the Lord’s; and he shall have dominion over the nations. [30] All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
[31] And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him. [32] There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
Only one verse of it is included in the Passions found in Scripture.

Mr gil watched that last terminator movie yesterday. All female version. Said it really wasnt very good.
I noted after reading the wiki it was def woke light.
Ill take that wine faucet but ill add a white or rose option too!
The President of our fish club, which met in a pizza place, would do glasses of rose that were merely half-red and half-white.
I’m in the “wine is red” group, myself…..which puts me with Homer [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine-dark_sea_(Homer) ]. I think I would enjoy rolling around Athens on the Homeric Cycle — a wheeled contrivance of his invention that also employed six feet [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dactylic_hexameter ].

Is anyone going anywhere or making dinner for Easter? It really seems that Easter is not very publicly promoted more and more, at least here.
We’re having a family get-together with everyone bringing food.
That is nice have a good Easter 🙂
Along with so many other things that normally connect us with others and that which is greater than ourselves, Holy Week seems to have been overwhelmed by current Fake News events this year.
Amen to” overwhelmed with fake news”.
Very much so.
BTW, we got sprinked today — look for this on Saturday.
Seriously, what is sprinked?
“Sprinked” is when your local forecast says “rain”, and leaves get wet, but no moisture actually penetrates the soil.
The British call that “misting”, a very light (to moderate) sprinkle.
Over here, “mist” refers to manure (or “gully”)… which could explain why, years ago when I first came here, I looked outside and noted, “It’s misting outside”… One of my German colleagues ran to the window, basically saying “THIS I’ve gotta see!”…
[no cows were seen flying above, fortunately]…
Let’s just say it’s a shame Pegasus doesn’t exist and doesn’t fly over His Fraudulency.
From a violinist I used to know:
Birdie birdie in the sky,
Why’d you do that in my eye?
Gee I’m glad that cows don’t fly…
Very cool at night here. Could use a rain to tamp the dust down.
On a positive note:
I’d never seen paid advertisements for Holy Week services until this year.
Easter Egg Hunts are very much anti-God.
How? Eggs are an ancient symbol of life. Traditionally, they are dyed red for the Passion.
I don’t get how traditions are labelled “anti-God” when they were developed to put fun into living for God. Same with adopting pagan traditions and making them holy. What’s the problem?
Lol, I’m with you here. I just don’t see why any activity can’t be “adopted” and made ok for religion, as long as no one is harmed by it.
Do we really think God doesn’t want us to let kids hunt eggs? How is that harmful?
I’ve never made any bones about it. I can’t consider myself Christian because I just can’t follow all the “rules” that don’t make any sense to me.
I don’t know about ‘Christian’ (since I’m not one either) but the one problem with adopting pagan practices is that sooner or later they will lead you away from your faith. IOW, there is a good reason that AA members advise newcomers to avoid bars. Same principle.
As I said, it’s what I was taught. Not a rule – just an observation of life. YMMV.
Ah now I get it. True over time I have observed holiday celebrations away from God. Sometimes the Christmas tree decorating into perfection and gift is more important than then the birth of Christ itself. Same can be said about Easter people make it more into the secular than a time to celebrate focus on the living Christ. To show off the Easter outfit in church often is important . The outfit is the center 🙄
Sundays the same.
By the way Lows is closed this Easter and that is a good sign 🙂
We were over at my sister’s for Easter way-back-when, and had an Easter Egg hunt for my son, who was about three or so. He had a little basket into which he put the little eggs he found.
My niece was following close behind, secretly taking eggs from the basket and hiding them again 🙂 I think he “found” some of the eggs four or five times 😀 🐇 🐰 😂
Delightful story 😅
Lol. Cute.
Lol!
The tale I was taught as a young-un is that the Easter bunny brought the eggs and hid them for the children to find. IOW the eggs came from the Easter bunny, which is directly contradictory to the truth that they came from God.
Anyway, that’s roughly how I learned it. It’s also a distraction from what is truly special about that day which is NOT finding hidden eggs.
proup2 I like to learn you opened an interesting door for me. How is Easter Egg Hunt anti-God?
I do not pray to eggs.
Joy and fun for kids on Easter that is a celebration how could it be anti-God?
I do not see it as worshiping the activity of Easter hunt.
Interesting
It’s a pretty big deal in our home. We start out by seasonally decorating inside and out for spring anyway. I have a Happy Easter garden flag I put out the day after St. Patrick’s Day as an example.
We keep the grandkids today for an overnight. Gives us a chance to talk with them about the Lord, Easter, and their lives in between games and such.
They spend Saturday night at home and come back for an early dinner we call lupper after church for them, the rest of the family and any friends who want to come. We have ham and turkey as the meats, deviled 😂 eggs out our ears, etc. Fun day and one spent remembering the incredible significance of the empty tomb and our Savior in between all the fun and goofiness.
What a great time for your family 🙂
Very nice….
We are driving about 3 hours today to visit our son and family including their one-week-old daughter 😍 . Will be there all weekend so will see what awaits us there.
PRECIOUS, a one week old. 😊
Oh, how precious! A one week old life. It’ll be a little ball of perfect baby smell.
Congratulation what a gift to the family 🙂 Enjoy and please share a report a grandma report 🙂 💖
Take lots of pics. Im sure she will be dressed like a carrot of something. 😉
Wonderful. God Blessed you all with a lovely addition to your family–Priceless!
Yes. And we will be eating on the china, too.
I hope you dont have to do all the dishes.
That’s sort of my task, actually. My sister cooks.
Oh ok, was hoping for a nice thing for you, but if you dont cook then thats already nice.
It seems to me that ALL Christian holidays (Christmas, Holy Week, Pentecost, and others) have been pushed into the background, as well as church attendance, by the WEF-COVIDIOCY.
I don’t think this is a coincidence, or by accident.
The WEF think they are god, and want us to treat and worship them as GOD.
Not going to happen. The WEF are straight from the pit of HELL. And they can go back there.
Sort of wondering if Ramadan-a-ding-dong will be getting extra attention this year. Kit-Kat has a special edition that was in the store ads a week or so ago (!) …
We stay home were not invited 🙂 I never visit anyone unless invited even my children.
I bought a ham I rather had lamb but my husband really felt like ham so we have ham . Easter a day to celebrate and be happy and make others happy.
The problem is the only relatives we have is three children two are 5 hours away and one in CT. 4 grandchildren but 3 in college one at home.
I will make a wonderful dinner boil some eggs maybe color them 🙂 Enjoy the peace read embrace the gift of life.
Something to be said for quiet time a good book and nice music 😉
Maybe a summer get together then.
That is a possibility. My granddaughter is getting an apartment off campus and she needs household items. She and my daughter might come this summer and shop at my house for dishes silver ware pots and pants and other stuff I have.
All my kids know where to go if they have a problem or need something 🙂
I know they are doing well if they do not call or come 😉
I cannot take it with me as long as they leave us two of everything all is well 😅
Reminds me of this tale of woe:) my Dad told me, back when I was in Uni. Hmmm. He couldn’t have been talking about me, or?
A Dad gets a letter from his son. Surprised at the sudden missive (that the college lad would have time or desire to write), he opened it up to read:
Dear Dad,
No mon,
No fun,
Your Son…
Happy to have received even such a short letter from his son, but nonetheless taking his role as a father seriously, in order to instill fiscal responsibility and prudence in his son (not to mention attention to his studies), he replied,
Dear Son,
Too bad,
So sad,
Your Dad…
😀
That is funny 🙂 My youngest was like that but has maturer in his late 40 up . Marriage is good for him.
Thats a good Grandma. Mine would always say “you can have all my junk” but it wasnt junk.
Yes that is how it is. When gets old one looks at the junk as a burden. Needs to be cleaned and taken care off. It is a release when family comes and takes or anyone else.
I used to go visit a family friend’s daughter he loved crystal and hand made doilies. Each time I visited instead of buying new I brought her those gifts. She loved them and for her it was a nice memory each time she enjoyed them. If I know someone collects vintage teapots I bring them one 🙂 I get much joy out of it. Just got rid of such item and two vintage teacups. I am so happy 🙂
I was under some pressure to get rid of my grandmothers things, esp after my father had died, and my mothe moved, i moved, households kept being packed. I unintentionally got rid of some things i didnt want to, european teacups, brussels and germany things. I kept many but still angry i dont have them now.
I explain to kiddo what these things are so he doesn’t get taken advantage of later.
Its nice when you are able to give now as a lovely gift!
Many of us do what you describe. When we give things away it is up to the person receiving if they keep it or not. My daughter gave one of my grandmother’s crystal bowl away because she had two. She wanted it and then does not value it. Was up to me the giver to let go it was now in another persons hands . I want to give to people who value for what it is but realize it never will represent to them what it represented to me.
On the positive side, we are lucky to be able to give and receive at all.
Happy Easter to you. 🐣
gil00 Happy Easter to you and your family 🙂

I think Twitter will NOT sell to Elon.
They can’t for the simple reason that elon just said on his Ted Talk interview: “tweets can’t violate US law.”
Well… how many child trafficking tweets are there.
How much is twitter allowing pedophilia?
if they give twitter up to Elon in this sale, that ALL goes to DOJ for prosecution or the various countries where the tweeters reside.
they simply can NOT do this = redline for them
so my guess is they will deny and Elon will flush it.
Twitter will tank, their shareholders will lose tons of money, and everyone will see that Twatter did indeed have something to hide which we all knew.

I don’t think they have a choice.
The Board of Twitter is bound BY LAW to conduct itself in the fiduciary interests of the shareholders.
They know that if they turn down Musk’s offer, he dumps the stock (he told them he would, in writing) and the stocks tank.
They can’t do that without facing a potential PRISON sentence.
Elon has checkmated Twitter. We are just watching the last couple of moves on the board before the king is tipped over.
All that you say would be true IF we lived in a world that most think we do… but… we don’t. The CIA cares naught about “fiduciary” and when was the last time the LAW had any say? I’m just following my gut these days as REASON no longer is even in the game. We are at war, w/ very evil people and exposure is our weapon of choice at the moment. Stock will drop … and … well we will see … some think the Market itself will fall soon … (musings from an ol’ woman who needs some rest)
I made sure to wait until there were ten other comments so as not to annoy DP.
LOL! Methinks you had no hope of annoying her anyway!
Who could? I sure came close the other day and I wasn’t trying.
She who helps the Wolf shall not be poked.
My youngest brother annoys me on a regular basis.
It’s a brotherly feature.
Which sister to annoy, or annoy both sisters to double the fun.
Good thing brothers outgrow it when the sister marries a real man. Now my brothers annoy each other 🙂 😂

Oh, I’m fairly sure I’ve managed it a time or two!
John 3:
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Here was my comment:
“Basically Biden is really fucking up – he’s being allowed to fuck up – and the people who in the past might have rescued him are doing no such thing now, because that strategy devolves the federal bureaucracy, etc.”
^ If your goal is to reduce the federal government’s hold over the republic you allow them to reduce said government’s value in the eyes of the citizens within the framework of still keeping the country safe from other predators. We still hold the big stick militarily and the other predators know it. We can take out our neighbors to the north and south if they go rogue in a nano second and they know it. I just believe that puppet Brandon gets an A+ for his performance of duties in accordance with Soetoro’s and VJ’s orders, which come from above them.
He squirrels out of his obvious criminality through having dementia – like others who are seemingly losing their metal capacities. Have said it for years. If this is all a movie, you know it is all scripted and staged.

From the comments re CTH article on Twitter servers:
//////////////
Go (short for Govt) + Ogle = Google.
It’s right there in our faces. The government is ogling us.
I may be gearing-up to write a letter.
Fourth-year med student Kychelle Del Rosario at Wake Forest University Medical School had a patient joke about her pronoun badge and put out a tweet that implied that she had responded by botching a blood draw. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/nc-medical-school-backs-student-171653802.html
Frantically backpedaling from the outrage (and deleting evidence), she is now saying, “For the event mentioned in the tweet, I was performing a blood draw on a patient and during our conversation they had shown dismay at my pronoun pin,” Del Rosario wrote, according to the university newspaper. “I calmly shared my thoughts about pronouns and did not escalate the situation further. When I was doing the blood draw, I missed the first time due to my inexperience as a student, and per our policy, my supervisor performed the successful blood draw the second time. During this encounter, I never intended to harm the patient.”
“I am truly sorry for poorly representing our school and our health system. I will reflect on responsible social media use as a professional and my duty to care for all my patients, regardless of any differences of belief,” she concluded.
To put this in context, according to https://www.foxnews.com/us/ethics-professor-slams-medical-student-implied-stuck-patient-mocking-pronoun-pin , “The controversy erupted after Kychelle Del Rosario, using the name K. Del, responded to a March 27 tweet from another doctor in a thread about transphobia. The doctor wrote that she had worn a badge with she/her pronouns to make her transgender patients and colleagues more comfortable.”
So, let me get this straight…..in a thread about transphobia — a virtue-signalling bullshit amongst woke assholes — a student laughs about abusing a patient.
Let’s talk about real phobias for a second. I haz one. I freak out about being punctured — and it is a mental illness (technically a neurosis) that complicates my life. If I have a needle that is about to puncture my body, I might as well have a rattlesnake perched on my chest, and if something goes through my skin, it might as well be a fang lodged in my cheek. I’ve been known to stop breathing for minutes and lock my muscles. I scare phlebotomists.
As a second-order reaction to this, I generally refuse anesthetic for dental work — including crown prep. This is painful, and if done outside the context of legitimate dental work would be a slam-dunk violation of Geneva Conventions against torture. I’ve done — IIRC — FOUR crowns without anesthetic because I’d rather experience the pain than take the needle. (As a fun aside, I’ve had several occasions when people have tried to talk me out of it — IT’S A MENTAL ILLNESS THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!!! — if you try the “it’s so tiny, you won’t feel it” argument, you may add vomit to your passed-out patient….I’ve done the pain, and it is easy compared to the phobia.
This monster should not be an MD. Not because she missed a blood draw and had to have someone else complete it for her, which is her current excuse. She should not be an MD because she confuses a real mental illness for a virtue-signalling line of political bullshit. She should not be an MD because she brags in one case and lies to cover it up. She should not be an MD because she lacks empathy for her patients. She should not be an MD because she wears stupid pronoun badges to cause conflict when her patients need help.
She should do a couple of crowns without anesthetic to feel how much some of her patients hate being punctured, and how much her “sloppiness” (current excuse) or malice is appreciated.
I might do a letter, but I’m too angry right now to get it right.
You have my condolences for your suffering. Nothing is worse than an irrational situation imposed on a rational person because all the tools at his/her disposal do not and cannot help resolve it.
By contrast, I have a very good relationship with my dentist. He knows I feel everything and does his best to minimize the pain duration/amplitude.
It’s not irrational to insist on oral health. This last crown was pretty obvious after two of the cusps of a molar fell out and are in a bowl two feet to my right.
I’m fortunate to have a rational relationship with a dentist I trust — Dr. Klein (408)371-1313 .
I’m not looking forward to finding a dentist as technically competent…..and then training him/her to work within my proclivities.
My use of ‘rational’ was in reference to your mental state, not to other people.
It sounds to me like the propaganda department at the university was called in for damage control.
That being said, being stuck when you have issues is torture. I have TINY veins that pop and roll, and the techs rarely get me on a first stick. When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, it took eight. I looked like a junkie.
Helpful hint — pound about 96 ounces of liquid, starting about an hour and a half prior to the jab. You’ll (a) increase the size of your veins, (b) increase blood volume, and (c) decrease blood viscosity. You may need to fine-tune timing issues, as there is a large difference between relieving this saturation before leaving the facility and relieving this saturation before leaving the phlebotomist’s work station.
I completely understand and empathize. How I wish I could get through a dental procedure without needing the 4% (strong) version of Novocaine. God alone knows how I’m going to get through the colonoscopy next month — the very thought of a general anesthetic, however “of short duration and will wear off quickly”, is enough to cause panic.
Colonoscopy is easy. Just say no.
My grandmother DIED of colon cancer.
My ex-husband has a colonoscopy bag for the rest of his life because of colon cancer.
Colonoscopy saves lives. Don’t be an ass.
Best sleep I’ve ever had was during mine. They called my wife into recovery to wake me up I was sleeping so long and sound. She said all I would say as I was waking up was, “This is soooooo goooooooood!” 😂. The staff enjoyed a good laugh at my expense. Didn’t care, I felt the most rested I had in years.
When I saw the photos of the large, benign polyp they removed I was very happy I did it. Hated the prep, but it was definitely worth doing.
Thank you. Yours Truly needs all the encouragement she can get.
About the prep — thank God, there are other, “alternative” prep products that are approved by the FDA, instead of having to go through that awful “Miralax” prep. I was able to get the GI doctor to write an Rx for SuPrep, one of the “alternative” products.
Have you considered the “mail-in box of poo” test?
https://www.cologuard.com/
If it’s positive, they have to do a colonoscopy, but if it’s negative, you’re off the hook for one or more years (they decide how often).
I did my colonoscopy without anesthetic. It was easy compared to crown prep — and, frankly, after the colonoscopy prep, I was pretty zoned-out anyway.
“Ask your doctor if Cologard is right for you.”
That would be the jackwad doctor I loathe, perhaps?
It could be. But if that doctor tires of the difficulty getting you to comply with colonoscopy scheduling, “the box” could be “right for the doctor”, too! 😉
Seriously, I think docs love the compliance on “the box”.
I had my wisdom teeth done with general anesthetic. Went reasonably well, except for abruptly “coming-to” propped against a wall like a sack of potatoes.
They have gas you know.
Good thinking!
They don’t do extended procedures with gas. It’s touchy and malpractice carriers blanche at the thought.
Also remember that I have sleep apnea and they may abruptly have to maintain an airway.
EIGHT WAYS TO COOK BACON – !!!
BACON is most everyone’s comfort food.
My favorite way to eat bacon is BLT’s – made with toasted bread and good fresh tomatoes, green leaf lettuce mayonnaise, salt and pepper!!!
Article – 8 Ways to Cook Bacon – experts tested them and there was a winner!
https://getpocket.com/explore/item/we-tried-8-methods-of-cooking-bacon-and-found-an-absolute-winner
Hah – good way to get to know the cute hunks down at the fire station.
Brings to mind the column by Dave Barry, “TARTS AFIRE” …
http://www.davebarry.com/misccol/poptarts.htm
From the article:
The whole article (and Dave Barry’s site) is quite a hoot… probably not for the fello in Ohio, though… btw. that’s what led to the warning on Pop-Tarts (and probably Toastem Pop-Ups has it too)…
Love Dave Barry – his coloscopy prep piece was stellar.
Also loved Erma Bombeck.
“The Grass Is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank” 😀
Yep, she was great…

Joanne over at 15 Spatulas comes to the same conclusion (lots of great recipes there):

Also has interesting uses for crockpots/Dutch ovens as well.
Everything’s better with bacon… (and avocado… for BLATs 🙂 )….
As it happens I use the favored method.
Fun fact: Mozart wrote the eight bars of the intro, and died.

The Satanic Plot to keep you thinking Covid-19 is a virus, rather than a venom
https://www.fromrome.info/2022/04/12/the-satanic-plot-to-keep-you-thinking-covid-19-is-a-virus-rather-than-a-venom/
I have some difficulty buying the venom-in-mains-water theory as the alternate to the virus existing as a virus.
The scaling is one: How can something like this get past the processing plants, and considering how much goes to non-potable uses as well, the initial amount must have been enormous and deployed most everywhere in the world at around the same time, without anyone noticing anywhere at the time.
Then it has been noted that deer and similar animals, not known for drinking city water, have also had sars-cov-2 virus infections.
There is finally the anecdotal fact that I didn’t drink any mains water in the weeks before I had the infection: the water supply where I stayed was well water. I even fixed some of the electrical hookup to the pump at one time. No water unless it was running…
Now if there is anything that deserves the appellation of «venom», it is the stuff in the jabbs.
But that other thing… hard sale.
I agree with all of your points.
But what the hey, it’s a great narrative. (this paragraph is sarcasm.)
There is a huge difference between “The spike protein has a 4-amino acid sequence that matches the active site of two important snake venoms, but they don’t actually appear to be responsible for the hemodynamic effects of the virus or the vaccine” and “It’s a venom, not a virus.”
I think the other side got to Ardis and did a massively successful MK number on him.
How did this guy go from “amazingly insightful critic of remdesivir” to “nutbag”?
The man was NOTHING LIKE THIS one year ago.
Dora – please tell me where you got that link. It included a SPY HOP (basically CIA) to Lithuania, which I removed.
Just the roof. As a good friend said via posted meme, somewhere in Heaven there’s a whole lot of Medieval craftsman and artisans saying, Damn straight it stayed up. The organ is still intact as are all the stained glass windows.
I’m still annoyed that they are rebuilding it out of wood instead of iron, like the Eiffel Tower. It could be just as beautiful, and nearly invulnerable.
I’m not. That roof was a work of art.
I’m referring only to the part above the vault, below the lead roof, and between the exterior walls. Originally made from 400-year-old beams of French White Oak and not visible except by maintenance personnel. Not generally accessible or visible to the public, even by flying drones.
That they decided to devote remaining white oak stocks to an identical rebuild is very sad, when it could be a symphony of steel.
The entire exterior, and the spire over the crossing, should be rebuilt as identical as possible (which should be pretty good, as a guy did a drone survey of the spire within about 1/100″ about a year prior).
This is “before” of Notre Dame —
This is “after” a fire (1836) at Chartres, where they replaced the wood with steel and copper —
If what SD says is true – Twitter censorship is illegal, unconstitutional government censorship and spying.
And it makes sense of Twitter’s and the FBI, DOJ, etc. tolerance, excusing, coverups, bias, partisanship, seeming incompetence, where certain ideologies and ethnicities of terrorists, foreign and domestic, are concerned.
Remember – Øbastid politicized and weaponized every agency of government, abusing the power of the Presidency, starting day one of his tenure – from OSHA to the IRS to the DOJ to the FBI and FISA courts.
And – Ø’s spying was monumental, illegal and pervasive.
Obama changed the law TWICE (2013 & 2017) to make it easier to conduct warrantless data gathering.
85% of Obama’s warrantless surveillance searches were illegal! P 82 – https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf
I do remember Obama gave something away concerning computer do not remember what is was? He did it shortly before he left. It was US property and Congress did nothing to stop it. I remember people were upset.
A thought came through my mind what about if the Internet now is controlled by the 5 eyes? Twitter, Facebook and some other platforms.
Yes I do think Obama gave the keys of the internet to the global mafia.
Just my way out thought.
I remember Maxine Waters blabbing/bragging about Ø’s mega computer.
That too 🙁
It was control over the internet domains.
Ah yes now need to find out what internet domain is. 🙂
Thank you
An internet domain is what they call the names of websites. So, theqtree is a domain and there can be different domains that use the .com, .edu, .net, and so on. 🙂
Thank you 🙂

BABY LIVES MATTER
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.
Hi DP.
I’m just throwing this out there for information. Didn’t we have some dust-up a while back because of quoting Sundance too much? He was big mad or something?
I personally don’t give one fuck what SD feels or wants, but I do care very much about you, this site, and Wolfmoon, and don’t want there to be problems.
Sundance is an asshole, and wouldn’t hesitate to cause issues, in my opinion.
LOL, straight shooting western style! 😎
I think it’s whole articles. If there’s an issue Wolf will tell me.
I’m sure.
DePat
Yours Truly stands in awe of the fact that here you are, putting up great openers, while at the same time, facing the demands of performing during Holy Week and Easter Sunday.
The last two days have had quite a few adventures in St. Louis driving, too.
I put this one together late last evening.
Patrick put out another report from somewhere in the vicinity of Mariupol. This place saw the worst of the war last month although it still comes and goes. The most common comment from those that he interviewed is that “Zelenskyy promised peace”.

From today’s posts…
“It’s very loud in Kyiv now. There are massive strikes on military targets.”
https://t.me/intelslava/25375
******************************
“Night strikes in Kiev were carried out at the Vizar plant, confirms AFP.”
“A Ukrainian military plant near Kiev that produced missiles allegedly used to destroy the Russian warship Moskva was partially destroyed by overnight Russian strikes, the French agency said.”
https://t.me/intelslava/25384
*******************************
“This is all that remains of the Vizar plant near Kiev.
The enterprise was engaged in the production of components for such high-precision systems as the S-300 and the Neptune anti-ship missiles”
https://t.me/intelslava/25385
FUNDAMENTAL question.
First, the ground floor.
~Last weekend, CTH posted an article with Nunes talking about Truth Social (TS).
The very nature of TS requires massive support…burns through money, big money. As TS grows INCOME from ads OBVIOUSLY needed to remain viable, operational. Otherwise, TS fails, goes silent.
~Yesterday, CTH posts an article saying TW operates on federal platforms / infrastructure.
Both positions make sense, but ARE INCOMPATIBLE on the surface.
Question. GIVEN the above two positions laid out by CTH, how the hell can TS hope to survive, compete, out perform TW?
—
BTW, IF CTH is spot on, TS MUST know the deck is 100% stacked against TS.
And, I have no problem believing, BOTH TW AND FB are running on federal platforms / infrastructure.
Looking forward to insightful thoughts.
As De Pat mentions in her awesome Open it has long been rumored that C_A “subsidizes, owns” Twitter… additionally though not mentioned in the Open, it is strongly believed that Twitter harbors human trafficking … particularly child/paedophilia. Of course twitter will not be sold to Musk. It will however be EXPOSED.
As for FB, formerly known as “LifeLog” … taxpayers paid for its research and development, turned it over to Zuckerbug to front, and thru the CIA (heck, call it what it is – The Cabal, Mr. Global whatever) it still spies on us all…
Understand AND agree with ALL.
My fundamental question stands.
GIVEN the above two positions laid out by CTH, how the hell can TS hope to survive, compete, out perform TW?
I don’t know that it was ever their intent to do so. I’m not qualified to even understand much less explain these things, so forgive if I make an utter fool of myself. 😉 TS is built off of Rumble’s platform, is that correct?
Those of us who believe there is a PLAN, believe various things of course, but there is much chatter about QUANTUM and Odin… suffice it to say… we may all be wasting our energy, failing to think out the box, for fear of being ridiculed… but
what if the internet WILL be replaced? It is after a “Mockingbird OP” ? See… this is who you’re talking to… SD doesn’t even acknowledge Cue… he can’t get out of the box… I can’t respond to such limitation… I
Thanks.
The number, type, length, speed, etc., of transactions is not the problem. Such power is cheap, distributable, and (usually) easily redundant.
What DOES build up quickly is the need for storage, which, albeit ever cheaper, is not free. A multi-tiered storage archeticture allows for rarely- (or even just once-) accessed tweets to percolate to the bottom of the storage structure, while more popular tweets, etc. bubble upwards to the top, faster and probably more redundant storage.
It’s not impossible, but it’s not cheap. And the gubmint is home for many, MANY incompatible systems that still, after all these years, don’t (easily) communicate with each other, read: I wouldn’t look to them for the quickest/best solution, despite the various NSA build-outs all over the place.
(One place the NSA could “pay back” the people is offereing a backup service… if they really do have everything backed up…. OK, just kidding…)….
Thanks.
The truth would appear to be, TS can’t possibly compete in this environment.
Given SD’s hypothesis, NO PLATFORM of this type is viable, unless it is hosted by, and under the control of, the United States government. At least, that’s how I read what he is stating. The ONLY servers/infrastructure massive enough to do what Twitter does exists ONLY in our government, is his scenario.
So if SD is correct, Twitter is hosted on government infrastructure, and Truth Social literally can’t grow to as large as TW, because the infrastructure to host it doesn’t exist outside the government.
It’s a brain-twister for sure, but the way SD explains it sure makes sense to me.
Yea. That IS my take. Would like to think SD is wrong, but I doubt it.
Simply makes too much sense that TW and FB are supported by the feds / IC infrastruture.
What puzzles me a bit, it IS NOT common knowledge. hundreds or thousands must know, TW AND FB rely on the feds.
Yeah, maybe they do. Maybe it’s NDAs and the like, or blackmail to keep them quiet? Who knows?
All good wishes for a contemplative, inner-quiet Good Friday today.
Amen

Comment lifted from MoA:
Russian Army has started using “Murmansk-BN”‼️
2nd phase is definitely starting,more sophisticated weapons being used.
The most powerful electronic warfare complex “Murmansk-BN” suppresses the communication of the Ukrainian Army
The complex is designed to jam short-wave radio communication lines at a range of up to 5 thousand kilometers, which blinds enemy command posts. Murmansk can also conduct radio reconnaissance and intercept enemy signals.

Stuff should already have been in place if they were needing to use it just now… wondering, as always, is this another “Great Fake Of Kiev”…
And 5000 KM??? That’s a hell of a long way… and needs a lot of energy to back it up… almost EMP territory… not to mention that they’d screw up other people’s comms as well… Such radiation (from antennae) can be focused, but how tight a beam at that level of energy is a huge question…
Maybe.
May have wanted to secure whatever territory. Perhaps this is an operation that they hoped was NOT needed, IF Ukraine capitulated to Russia demands.
My guess is distances are NOT huge, such as the US crossing oceans to engage in war. Russia only has to roll on down some tracks, set-up and raise hell.
Spitballing. Dunno. We’ll see what we may learn that IS BELIEVABLE.
Yep. And whatever that is, it won’t be on the YSM/MCM YELLOW media…
The WEFfen would hang Zelensky out there for target practice if it was “necessary” and furthered their goals.
They are soulless, Demonic, greedy, rotten, lying, worthless, bastiges who would sell their mothers up the river for a nickle… and that*s the best I can say about them….. and Zelensky is no better than they are…
^^^ Agree. ^^^
Hell, I’d hang Zelensky out there for target practice just to get rid of the bastard.
Guessing Zelensky will receive an ultimatum, OR HELL WILL rain on some critical targets.
Another of today’s posts…
“Among the prisoners in Ukraine there are military personnel of NATO countries, said Klimov, deputy head of the United Russia commission.
“We already have prisoners among the military personnel of NATO countries, we will show all this when we conduct trials, and the whole world will see what really happened,” he said.”

Large, violent gangs are targeting wealthy Angelinos on the streets: LAPD | The Post Millennial
Large, violent gangs are targeting wealthy Angelinos on the streets: LAPD
These gangs reportedly organize crews, which sometimes take up three to five cars, follow people home from that are driving high-end vehicles or wearing luxury items, robbing them once they reach their destination.
Tippet said that these groups also placed gang-members inside these high-value places to serve as “spotters” for those outside, identifying those to be followed.
Tippet indicated that these types of incidents occurred some 165 times in 2021, and so far there have been 56 in 2022, including many which have happened just in the past week’s time. In 23 of these cases, there have been shots fired, and two victims have died in those shootings so far.
“There’s no chance or opportunity for these victims even to comply. They’re just running up to people and attacking them, whether that’s putting a gun in their face or punching them and beating on them,” Tippet said. “Pistol whipping them as well.”
Tippets blamed this resurgence on suspects repeatedly being released from custody once captured. ( more at link )
Damn shame LA voted to defund the police, decreased their budget, fired the unjabbed, etc………Everything Woke turns to $h!T.
I heard one report say they’re were at least 17 gangs participating. Some were from South of the border. SMDH
Democrats are communists, satanists, and just plain nuts.
Ground report – another older jabbed friend soon to bite the dust. This one believed me when I told him about the spike proteins. He had lost feeling in his hands and forearms after the jabs. Had golfed 150+ days a year for many years and could no longer swing a club. After the 2 Pfizers, had the problems, decided not to do the booster after talking with his doc. His 20+ years younger wife (first wife passed away from cancer awhile back), a teacher, talked him into getting the booster with her. They both then proceed to get Omicron a couple weeks later. Now, our friend has developed kidney cancer and it appears to be Stage 4. Will know more soon. My father passed away from the very same disease at the very same age and our friend is in about the same shape. Dad made it two months after his diagnosis, will see about our friend.
This will be the second death of a jabbed/boosted older friend just this year. We have a third older jabbed friend who did not get boosted who is really struggling as well.
Now multiply this times hundred of millions of older people. Planned depopulation.
I’m sorry about your friends. Depopulation, yes, and it’s maddening. People need to be prosecuted.
And the DEMONRATS are aiming at all those people who ARE “Old enough to know better”. Without those who have seen it all before, are skeptical, and indeed know better, our country and society will be in bad shape…
Sorry about your friends, and good (in spite of that) that you are informing folks about the risks and problems of the shots…
I really think there will be “Hell to pay” when all of this is over. And it seems that justice cannot come soon enough…
Horrifying. So sorry to hear this. I hope you friend knows the Lord & can find comfort & peace & perhaps even healing through Him.
I’m very sorry to hear of this. It’s all planned. All the way back to the first Gain-of Function experiments on the SARS2 virus variants at BARIC’S LAB at UNC 15+ years ago. “Fauci-Mengele’, the FDA, the CDC, Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, et al — they KNEW that dreadful things would happen to people who got “vaccinated”, and THEY ARE OK WITH THAT.
Sending Courage, Good Energy, and Wisdom to your friend.
So sad to hear these stories, TradeBait. I am sorry about your friends.
Here’s another PM article. It highlights that this guy and probably a lot of these trans athletes don’t just ‘want to be a girl’. They seem to want to dominate violently..isn’t that the common thought about rapists?
Biological male MMA fighter brags about ‘punching TERFS’ in the face | The Post Millennial
Biological male MMA fighter brags about ‘punching TERFS’ in the face
Fox is a biological male, who transitioned in 2006, and began fighting in professional matches in 2012.
Fox has not fought professionally since winning against Tamikka Brents in 2014, giving the female fighter a concussion and breaking seven of her orbital bones. In a 2013 fight against Ericka Newsome, Fox won, breaking Newsome’s skull in the process.
Fox also tagged fellow trans fighter Alana McLaughlin in a subsequent tweet, saying “You gotta catch up to these numbers. Lol.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A TERF is
TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. First recorded in 2008, the term originally applied to the minority of feminists espousing sentiments that other feminists considered transphobic, such as the rejection of the assertion that trans women are women, the exclusion of trans women from women’s spaces, and opposition to transgender rights legislation. The meaning has since expanded to refer more broadly to people with trans-exclusionary views who may have no involvement with radical feminism.
( basically anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of trans )
These people are abhorrent. In every way.
Exactly, abhorrent.
WTH is wrong with people that rally behind this ?
Gives a whole new meaning to TERF war…
One thing that might slow down the idiocy (or at least make the transis think twice [or even once, for that matter]) would be to say, if they want to be in the game, they have to have, as it were, skin in the game – get clipped, or don’t compete…
(If you don’t get the tweak, you can’t compete, or something like that)…
Odd, isn’t it that there are no biological women trying to compete in men’s events… seems that SOME do recognize THERE IS A DIFFERECE, as the old cartoon goes…
The one common thread of all this madness, be it Climastrology, COVIDIOCY, or SanFranTranSatanic perversions is the absolute denial of physical, verifiable, scientific and moral FACT. It is as if they wish to live their fairy tale fails as reality (one might say Disney, made real)…
Just as fake as “Carbon Credits”. Charging money for something that doesn’t even exist. Indeed, they are griping about CO², NOT Carbon, as we are, so to speak, carbon-based life forms…. are they intending to ban that/us?
Oh, wait… that’s what COVID’s for…….
No power in their male lives…weak in some way that they need to control, even violently, in another. Animals, children, women, work….rinse and repeat, except now the illness is more TRANSparent.
Yep and they get away with it merely by claiming to be a woman.
Not exactly.
They got away with it because those in authority failed to tell them GTFO.
People like this thing should be indefinitely committed to a hospital for the insane.

In 2019, Zelensky was elected on an overwhelming mandate to make peace with Russia. As Stephen F. Cohen warned that year, the US chose to side with Ukraine’s far-right and fuel war.
Far Right?????
Far WRONG is all I can see there. Zelensky the Klown was installed by the WEF and Satan Sauros, as part of a “color revolution”…
I think if we got rid of (OK, exile to Mars) all these megalomaniacal WEFfenNAZIs, we’d all be a lot better off. Tree of Liberty and all that…..
Perhaps the point is to indicate what the PEOPLE of Ukraine desire (which is what you are calling for – removal of Nazis)… and how NATO/US is negating all of that… yes Ze is a tool… being used by EVIL

” … Another of Ukraine’s “strategic” application of the Tochka missile
This one prevented, thankfully
via Sputnik News (note: link to a series of short statements, scroll down)
“Russian forces have intercepted two Tochka-U missiles fired by the Ukrainian military at the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant [note: near Kherson -ptb], Russian Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Friday.”
“At about 07:00 a.m Moscow time [04:00 GMT a.m.], a unit of the Ukrainian 19th separate missile brigade attacked the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant with two Tochka-U tactical missiles. The destruction of the dam of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant after an explosion was supposed to … cause the flooding of many localities in the Kherson region … and the aim was to limit the actions of the Russian armed forces. Both missiles were shot down in the air by Russian air defense systems,” Konashenkov told a briefing.”
“The ministry also said that fragments of one of the missiles fell on a village in the Kherson region and damaged residential buildings. One woman and one child were hurt during the incident, Konashenkov added.”

Wow. Destroying a dam. What a great tactic! /s
From NYT.
“”Two Republican members of Congress traveled to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev of Thursday, becoming the first known US officials to visit the country since Russia’s Feb.24 invasion.
Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) made what was described in The New York Times as a last minute visit at the invitation of the Ukrainian government, with just a day’s notice. Spartz is the first Ukrainian-born member of Congress, and has been urging the Biden administration to reestablish a strong diplomatic presence center in Lviv, Western Ukraine, to help coordinate in the crisis.””
‘scuse me…are they riding brooms? surely not trains or planes? Are they repeating Hil de beast’s ordeal of “bombs reining/raining down on them on the tarmac”… the ol’ Grey Lady sure ain’t what she used to be, before Judith Miller… of course… perhaps “she never was?” (ramblin’ over)

Any visit of Western politicians to “Kiev” or “Lvov” can be understood to be a visit to the premier professional propaganda production facilities in Rzeszow, Poland. The spineless grifters, drug addicts, and child rapists in the US congress would never deign to actually place themselves in a war zone. I’m particularly dismayed but not surprised that the slime mold Spartz (R-IN), of Ukrainian origin no less, would travel to Rzeszow to express its support for the wholesale killing of Slavic peoples.
Some elected officials want us to get involved in the Russian Ukraine war ?
well, NATO sure does…
Seems someone is maybe NATO you might be on to something.
“…reestablish a strong diplomatic presence center in Lviv, Western Ukraine, to help coordinate in the crisis.”
Betting the CIA already has a presence in the center of Lviv AND numerous sites in Ukraine.
Amen to that…
