“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

BREAKING: Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID.
Funny how that works. They announce this the day after he says he has “cancer”…. And now he’s going to quarantine for 10 days… so the media can’t ask him about his admission to having cancer.
How convenient!
And then….

Given the way the media operates, anything is possible.

Biden Town Hall July 21, 2021: “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”
Biden July 21, 2022: "I have been quadruple vaccinated and I have COVID"
Moving on….
Not to be morbid, but the photos of the procession leaving Ivana Trump’s Funeral Mass tell a tale. Did she really just fall down the flight of stairs? Ivana was the only family member not under strict security.
Bjorn Lomborg’s book False Alarm exposes a host of false claims by environmentalists, including the notion that warming has been producing more storms, drought, and floods. In fact, all of these have remained at the same level over the past 100 years. As Lomborg writes, “deaths caused by climate-related disasters have declined precipitously over the past century” (p. 73) — not because of fewer storms, but because increasing wealth has made it possible to protect ourselves from climate events. The real danger lies in useless spending on climate change that will bankrupt societies and make it impossible for their people to protect themselves.
The global economy has now constructed an entire edifice atop the myth of catastrophic man-made global warming, and activists like Gore collectively have made billions if not trillions of dollars off their predictions of doom. Environmental activism became a lucrative business, in the form of non-profit revenues and income from corporate consulting.
That seems pretty straightforward, right?
Economic contraction is the lowering of economic activity. Raise interest rates -in a general sense- and businesses invest less, borrowers borrow less, consumers purchase less, employers expand less, and the economy overall slows down. When the economy turns negative, meaning less products and services are produced, we enter a recession. Some businesses and employers do not survive a recession and subsequently unemployment rises.
During recessionary periods people buy less stuff, people have less income stability, and economic activity drops. When the banks raise interest rates into an economy that is already stalled or contracting, unemployment and general pain on Main Street increases. Workers are laid-off, incomes shrink, consumer spending drops and that leads to less employment. Recessions are bad for middle-class and working-class people.
However, that said, there is one benefit from a recession…. Energy use drops.
People travel less; businesses operate shorter work schedules; manufacturing stops; overall less goods are produced because less consumer spending is taking place. From the perspective of the groups who want to see overall energy consumption drop, a recession is a good thing.
The fertilizer crisis is as sure a sign as any that our overlords have no idea what they’re doing.
In 2022 there are questions hanging over America that remain unresolved, and the journalists who are supposed to bring us the facts refuse to investigate. Even worse, they seem to want to keep the truth from us. Unresolved issues and questions tend to fester and sow doubts. Here are some of the clouds hanging over America in July 2022:
Seth Rich’s death
Jeffrey Epstein’s death
Where are the twelve missing pen drives from the 7/19/2022 primary election in Baltimore?
Why do we keep sending money to Ukraine when we are 30 trillion dollars in debt?
Why are we allowing illegal aliens to flood into this country and rewarding these lawbreakers with social benefits?
Why can France hold a clean nationwide election in one day and we cannot?
Why are the riots of 2020 uninvestigated, but January 6, 2021, gets primetime coverage?
How did the Wuhan Flu get started?
Why is the media so disinterested in the questions about the 2020 election?
Is Joe Biden mentally competent to be POTUS?
A friend whose family had farmed the land for many generations once turned to me in the middle of a sweet-corn field and said he couldn’t imagine living in a place where it wasn’t possible for him to get out of bed, walk outside buck naked, and start firing off rounds without consequence. I nodded in agreement and then reminded him that I’d be there before sunup the next day. The laugh we shared was a nice respite under the baking sun, but his words have always stuck with me. I swear, I’ve learned as much in a cornfield as in a classroom. Maybe hard work and a connection to nature help purify the soul and elevate introspection, but farmers tend to be philosophers.
What my friend was describing, of course, is what we call freedom. And time after time in my journeys through life, I have stopped in my tracks to realize that I’d sacrificed the freedom of the cornfields for the artificial prisons society likes to construct. Those are surreal moments — when the mind of a farmer-philosopher kicks in and asks, “Why am I working so hard to lock myself up?” If you don’t have a good answer to that question, then it’s time to take a step back and choose a new direction. “No price is too high to pay,” after all, “for the privilege of owning yourself.”
Putin appeared at the ASI forum “Strong Ideas for a New Time”. A collection of 200 Russian elites and local leaders/representatives.
Putin points out the unfairness of the “Western Oligarchy”, (Deep State) and their total dominance of the world. Highlighting how their rule has impeded the advancement of all human civilization.
He goes on to correctly assert that the “globalist and supposedly liberal ideology is increasingly acquiring the features of totalitarianism.”
Do you agree with John Cleese that wokeness has had a disastrous effect on comedy?

They were mad at the unvaccinated. Then they were mad at those who didn’t want to write Ukraine a check every week. Now they’re mad at climate deniers. Anger never disappears. It just changes form.

We’re supposed to ask for things that can actually be achieved.
And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

[1] In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not. [2] I will rise, and will go about the city: in the streets and the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and I found him not. [3] The watchmen who keep the city, found me: Have you seen him, whom my soul loveth? [4] When I had a little passed by them, I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him: and I will not let him go, till I bring him into my mother’s house, and into the chamber of her that bore me.
10“Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the coastlands afar off; say, `He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’ 11For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him. 12They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. 13Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
1Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag’dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 11But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rab-bo’ni!” (which means Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” 18Mary Mag’dalene went and said to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
As referenced above.
Have a great weekend.
