Prominent Writer Says Conservative Commentators Shouldn’t Have Opinions On Vaccines, Climate Change
A prominent writer and podcaster declared Wednesday that conservatives “should not have opinions” on topics like climate change and vaccines.
“We’re swimming in a sea of misinformation, where you’ve got people who are moving the opinions of millions of others, who should not have an opinion on these topics. There is no scenario in which you should be getting your opinion about vaccine safety or climate change, or the war in Ukraine, or anything else that we might want to talk about from Candace Owens, right?” Sam Harris, an author and podcaster, said, referencing the Daily Wire host who clashed with former President Donald Trump over vaccines in a December 2021 interview.
Um, Sam, in case you haven’t noticed, the “age of the expert” is over.

HOSEA 14:2-10
2Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, “Take away all iniquity; accept that which is good and we will render the fruit of our lips. 3Assyria shall not save us, we will not ride upon horses; and we will say no more, `Our God,’ to the work of our hands. In thee the orphan finds mercy.” 4I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them. 5I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar; 6his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon. 7They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon. 8O E’phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit. 9Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
MARK 12:28-34
28And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” 29Jesus answered, “The first is, `Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; 30and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31The second is this, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” 32And the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; 33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” 34And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any question.

More Twitter censorship. Anonymous Conservative’s tweet to James O’Keefe asking him to investigate the domestic surveillance program has been shadowbanned.
Here’s the link to O’Keefe’s tweet if you want to try to find AC’s reply yourself. I tried and couldn’t find it. I believe AC is correct about it being shadowbanned.
AC offers the following harsh warning about Twitter.
https://www.anonymousconservative.com/blog/we-are-shadowbanned-on-twitter-for-talking-about-surveillance/
Why is he trash talking James?
He seems to have a beef with Elon so I’m really confused.
I don’t know why he would accuse O’Keefe of running cover for someone.
AC’s tweet to James O’Keefe is what got censored. Regardless of whether it was “trash talk” or not (I’m not sure AC intended it that way but respect why some feel otherwise), there was absolutely nothing in that tweet that violated Twitter TOS. That tweet to James O’Keefe was unfairly censored.
As I say above, I believe AC is not trash talking, that he is confronting in a forceful way.
To AC, the fundamental issue which exceeds all others is the surveillance state, by which he means something far more comprehensive and detailed than most people imagine, even those who agree there is an evil surveillance state.
For instance, AC believes (and I agree 100%) that many children are tracked throughout their lives, and the tracking leads to specific manipulation. For another instance, AC believes that each neighborhood has a neighborhood watch which keeps track of individuals in that neighborhood.
I cannot do justice to AC’s assessment, I can only say that I agree he is correct about the big picture, and that the specifics are deliberately kept ambiguous so citizens cannot “see” the surveillance or the consequences. You would have to read AC’s site, and go there daily, to see what he is saying.
AC has a running theme when he comments on items which involve people on our side who make truthful statements or reveal undisclosed truths about some subject.
AC assumes, and I think his assumption is correct, that significant people on our side know about the breadth and depth of the surveillance state. For instance, O’Keefe.
AC’s running theme is this: if a significant person on our side does not acknowledge and discuss the true dimensions of the surveillance state, then we cannot fully trust that person. By remaining silent, that person is complicit with, maybe even an agent of, those who control the surveillance state. For instance, O’Keefe.
Now, I understand the dozen questions my description of AC’s position raises, and I have not even referred to the Cabal (his word) and its organization which he also discusses. Cabal controls the surveillance, and also the manipulative consequences of the surveillance. (I can say, AC compares it to the Stasi, and anyone who has watched the movie The Lives of Others – – and EVERYONE should watch this movie – – would understand immediately).
I would ask that people try to hold back on immediate reactions, and to go to AC himself. He is an incredibly intelligent man, with solid integrity as far as I can tell. And I think what he has to say is very valuable.
The fact that his reply to O’Keefe was shadow banned indicates someone does not want AC’s assessment to be raised.
As for his forceful challenge to people on our side, I keep in mind the importance AC assigns to the situation.
AC has solid cause to be concerned and raise the issues.
I just posted slightly up or down on this.
Everyone bears watching, including O’Keefe, who I like a lot. Some won’t like this. But I am not excited about, O’Keefe seeking donations in his announcement yesterday. Yea, organizations need money to operate. Just a flag of sorts.
Totally agree, 100%
One of the reasons I love AC (love, not necessarily agree all the time) is his meticulous avoidance of exploitation. AC is the rare, rare person on our side who does not do fund raising or self-promotion. He is a man of integrity, as far as I can tell.
High Praise that makes him sound similar to our own Wolfmoon!
I feel exactly the same about our Wolf, and wonder how he does it all.
He is amazing & we are the blessed beneficiaries of his unique mix of humor, grace, wisdom, godliness, generosity AND so much moar!
I hope he is doing well. I think the 6th was his last post here.
Thanks for checking…we need to keep him in our prayers ❤
My guess is he is on vacation. Perhaps a cruise. Perhaps Europe. Or, so I hope.
I don’t know since his post about his soon coming absences was rather ambiguous & cryptic (at least to me) 🙂 Hope he’s enjoying himself wherever he might be!
t was ambiguous. In the past, and its been awhile, he’s mentioned enjoying cruises and a trip to Europe. IIRC. 🙂
Oh thanks, I didn’t remember him saying such things. Would be wonderful if he & his wife are getting some much needed R & R!!!
That is my hope. Being positive. Won’t help if I fret over an unknown.
Well the fact that he told us in advance that he’d be gone a lot for a while should relieve some of those anxieties, hopefully. Give it to God 🙂 for peace 🙂
He was talking about an extended “honey-do” list, and I was thinking perhaps a remodel, building an add-on, or a move.
Each of those could take one’s full attention and make it difficult to be too involved with the blog.
Yes I remember that Honey-Do list too. I think KBK is referring to things WM said well before his post about his expected absences…
It would be nice if he’d pop by, even briefly, just to let everyone know he’s doing OK though 🙂
Smiling here. As I read Tonawanda’s post slightly up, Wolf came to mind. 🙂
“great” minds getting it right in the cheap seats LOL
I hear you. I had never thought about Project Veritas having major donors until things blew up over there. I think for him to hit the ground running as he starts completely over, he needs capital and is just making it all public now.
Accepting your view [for which I thanQ], then I think AC is an asshole. I don’t care how smart he is or how right he is in other areas. I am smart, too, and I don’t treat people as guilty until proven innocent.
One benefit of reading that tweet to James is that I have to waste no time reading his crap.
Who is AC ?
Anonymous Conservative. His tweet is in Sadie’s comment above.
Thank you. I think I need another cup of coffee 🙂
☕️ 😉
Not on TW here.
Trash talking James? MAYBE, he, or he knows someone that PV (under James), sent information about domestic surveillance, surveillance in schools compiling lists…
MAYBE PV IGNORED “heads up” about surveillance, school surveillance and compiling lists. I DUNNO. We Do Not Know, What We Don’t Know. And yes, the information may have never gotten to James, while in PV.
A beef with Elon?
Elon AND TW remain on my WATCH list. Yea Elon has done great things Freedom of Speech. BUT, we commonly hear NEW OR ONGOING TW shadow banning and censorship.
BTW, Whatever happened to TW files supporting Pronouns Prosecute FauXi? January, February and most March have come and gone. Crickets.
Off The Wall, but worth considering,
Considering Our:
What IF, Elon buying TW, promoting Freedom of Speech is a RUSE of sorts?
FACT OF LIFE. We Live In A Surveillance Country, Hell Bent On Global Reset.
LOL … we both posted at 9:02.
No one can be trusted. No one should be adored.
“FACT OF LIFE. We Live In A Surveillance Country, Hell Bent On Global Reset.”
Alas, too true, and they apparently have every aspect of power and influence in their hands.
All that can be true … and it has nothing to do with accusing James of being part of it. Yet somehow it’s okay for this person to accuse James of being part of some nefarious scheme with no reason for it.
Piss on him.
I agree with you about “guilty until proven innocent” in your other comment. There are multiple factors in situations like this, including timing, and there are sometimes very good reasons why someone does or does not do something on OUR timeline.
Sometimes it’s as simple as the fact that a person has chosen his/her battle and focuses on that. In O’Keefe’s case, he is doing great work that might be hampered if he approached it in a different way.
This kind of judgment of someone’s motives and character without all the facts is so damaging.
It could well be that Musk wasn’t successful yet in drilling all the rottenness out of twits programing.
That’s what I keep seeing. Musk has said that the problems run so deep that it would be good to tear it down and start over. But I don’t think that’s a viable solution. I hope he continues to work on it.
Agree. Surely TW code is convoluted AND likely Musk has a bad apple or two on staff, hiding in plain sight..
I understand that some prelate-or-other has authorized the consumption of meat on this Friday in Lent in order to not conflict with Saint Patrick’s Day festivities. Seems a little fishy to me….
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253789/where-are-catholics-allowed-to-eat-corned-beef-on-st-patricks-day-this-lent
….and history…..
https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2023/03/15/st-patricks-day-meat-dispensation-244895
Not a prelate, exactly…
………………….
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” (1 Timothy 4:1-3, KJV)
………………….
So you see, meat is authorized on every day.
Here is the only version that DP considers, iirc
1 Timothy 4:1-3
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
4 Now the Spirit manifestly saith, that in the last times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to spirits of error, and doctrines of devils,
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
3 Forbidding to marry, to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful, and by them that have known the truth.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I%20Timothy%204%3A%201-3&version=DRA;NIV
& the NIV for comparison
1 Timothy 4:1-3
New International Version
4 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
I choose to eat fish on Friday is a good discipline for me year around if I can.
It’s up to the individual bishops to give dispensation. When St. Paddy’s Day lands on a Friday many do give dispensation for corned beef. On of ours, Archbishop Carlson some years back, did not. And he’s Irish. This year, with a Polack, we get dispensation.
Now, if March 19, the Solemnity of St. Joseph, falls on a Friday…no need for dispensation. It’s a celebration day. Same for March 25, Solemnity of the Annunciation, if it is not during the Triduum or on Easter Sunday.

It’s so frustrating to me that we seem to have a complete division between most of the people at the top of the Repuke party, and the rest of us.
They REALLY DON’T understand that millions and millions of American voters will just stay home and not vote at all if they manage to nominate a standard globalist candidate.

With ya! I will NOT vote for another RINO.
Trump and True Conservatives, ONLY. Napalm piss on the rest.
They are more then happy to sacrifice the Presidency to avoid Trump. And the positive end result for them is that all of us trouble makers will stay home and not vote.
Sort of the way they used covid rules to flush out those who will not comply to get them fired, businesses closed etc.

Soon we will all be corralled in a few States, and a few small cities in liberal States but isolated. Then they can exert full control. May take a few more decades but it is coming.

It is significant that the office chair is about 50 years old. It sure would get the company an OSHA violation today, seeing as it only has 4 legs on its base,
Yeah I was looking at that chair and thinking if that chair is 50 years old, that explains a lot of that horrid furniture we had at the University!
I had an old desk chair with four legs on rollers for years, it worked just fine. Looked like this:
.
It worked fine with 4 legs.
The chair I have now has 5 legs, and I always wondered WHY. All it does is get in the way of my feet, so I have to rotate the chair more often to get the legs out of the way of my feet.
Five legs is a pain in the ass. Nuisance. Unneeded Fed OSHA regulations.

Here’s my prompt: “Hillary Clinton looking ominously on someone with an Alien (like from Aliens movie) popping out of their chest, futuristic, dystopian, dark background, unreal engine, detailed”

I tried some rerolls, but still not quite what I’m looking for, though interesting…
https://gab.com/ValerieCurren/posts/110038807578966710
I’m modifying the prompt to see if we Might approach what you suggested Scott…new prompt: “person with an Alien (like from Aliens movie) popping out of their chest, futuristic, dystopian, Hillary Clinton looking ominously & smugly on her handiwork, dark background, unreal engine, extremely detailed”
https://gab.com/ValerieCurren/posts/110038849709411766”
It did produce some realistic face divots on Hillary. I think it relied on post-last-facelift images.
Yes. The AI seems averse to offending the Eliminatrix!!!
Well Gabby can’t obviously read either of our minds so here’s another prompt:
Hillary Clinton crossed with the Alien Queen gloating over her next victim, dystopian, futuristic, dark complex background, unreal engine, extremely detailed

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

TWEEDLEDEE AND TWEEDLE-DUMBER DISSEMBLE ON UKRAINE
16 March 2023 by Larry Johnson 80 Comments
“What a juxtaposition of absurdity versus reality. On the same day that the Kyiv Independent publishes a horrific report detailing the catastrophic losses of Ukrainian troops in Bakhmut, Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley compete for the “Who is the most stupid” award. I think it is a tie. Judge for yourselves.
Let us start with the article from the Ukraine publication, the Kyiv Independent. We will use this as the benchmark to evaluate what Austin and Milley said at their press conference on Wednesday.”
con’t https://sonar21.com/tweedledee-and-tweedle-dumber-dissemble-on-ukraine/
Interesting article by the Kyiv Independent with quotes from soldiers. I have such a hard time listening to Austin and Milley though. I will try again.
Austin apparently had never read the material he is reading and keeps stumbling as he reads. Milley gives a basic overview of why we are involved in the Ukraine war; a rah-rah gas bag of bluster. The Q&A… more political-military babble hoping to avoid starting WWIII. Joe will say… hold my beer.
Larry Listened for you … (I can’t listen to them either 😉 )
Yea, I will NOT listen to Milley, Austin, Kirby… Liars.
Even Ms. Maria Zakharova is trolling nato : ))))))
——————————-
Zakharova told Kirby, who said it‘ll be hard to retrieve the MQ-9 drone, to get the phone number from The New York Times of the private Ukrainian company that, according to them, blew up the Nord Stream pipelines very, very deep in the Baltic Sea.

Yowza!
Did y’all see her dancing? to Russian folksong? Can’t recall where… she’s fabulous …
Wow. I need to search some more of that gal dancing.
I think I saw one of her doing Kalinka (another song) many years ago.
EDIT: Apparently two different bits of the same dance. I had forgotten Kalinka had that “slow part” in it.
Thanks.
Kirby, like EVERY government spokesman, IS A Paid Liar.
Have believed Kirby was a liar since the first time I saw him speak, at a presser. He was assigned to either DoD or DoS. POS was in uniform. <<< Lying. obvious lies.
Kirby looks, mannerisms, and sounds like a liar. (Yea, I can be judgmental.)
Tucker Carlson gets real.
IMO. Tucker’s long range plan IS to leave Faux News. Tucker IS already distancing himself from Faux News. Tucker’s studio is in Maine.
I agree. There is probably something bigger in the works that Tucker will be a part of over time.
I suspect being away from the Fraud News studio has helped immensely to see the Fraud News studio with clear eyes, looking at it from the outside, instead of from within the belly of the beast.
Of course he should stay and not leave. Same message to all, for all. The left has spent decades infiltrating our organizations, all of them. Now we are sadly at the point where we will have to infiltrate our ways back into our organizations, (govt, civilian, military) if we wish to wrest back control.
Except how can that work?
If you infiltrate, you have to pretend to be one of them, maybe for your whole career.
And the problem is that when you pretend to be one of them, and you have to act like one of them, for a long time, you become one of them.
At what point, if you manage to not become one of them, do you reveal who you really are?
And when you do, how do you not get fired, wasting all your years of effort?
Unless you are the head of the department or agency or corporation.
In which case the board of directors will fire you, or the POTUS will fire you, or whoever is above you will fire you.
In a pyramid business model system, how does a ‘white hat’ infiltrate the Death Star, and ever reveal his true self, unless he actually becomes leader?
Corporation –> CEO with a controlling ownership interest
RCC –> Pope
U.S. gov’t –> POTUS
What are the chances of anyone infiltrating from the bottom, or even the mid-level, and ever making it to the top?
And if you do make it to the top, and ever reveal yourself, what stops everyone in the organization below you from rejecting you, ignoring you, or attempting to remove you?
It would take tens of thousands of people, all disguising their true selves, working and acting as if they are hardcore marxists, for decades, working their way up the ranks, simultaneously, so that in the event a patriot is ever elected to POTUS again, he has thousands of ‘sleepers’ already in place, waiting to be activated.
All of this done in isolation, without funding, without organization, any and all of which would expose the entire effort.
The enemy was able to do it because:
1) nobody tried to stop them (we won’t have that luxury)
2) money was never an issue, it rains from the sky (after being sucked out of taxpayer wallets)
3) they didn’t really have to hide who they were (and don’t)
4) they organize openly, in think tanks, foundations, and global organizations like the UN, WHO, WEF, Davos, Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, and on and on and on.
It works for them because no one who opposes them will use force or lawfare to stop them.
But they suffer no such constraints. They will (and do) use force and lawfare to stop anyone who opposes them.
It’s probably time for folks to remove the controlled ops label from Tucker. He has willingly placed the target on his back. He is not 100% of the way there, like most of us. But his trajectory is rapidly accelerating. That is highly useful for spreading the word and reflects why he has the #1 show while sitting in a studio on his farm in Maine.
I agree, 100%.
Listening to Tucker is like looking at myself in a mirror not so many years ago. I WAS controlled by media, propaganda and government lies for a long time. He and I are not far apart in age. We grew up in similar times. Our whole lives were manipulated in ways large and small. It is very hard to break out of that shell.
The gravitational forces of in your face stupid must be tremendous in places like WA DC and NYC. Amazing that he can even break away as much as he’s done. 😮 🙄 🤔 😏 😆 😅 🤣 😂 🤣 😁
Having his wife hiding in a broom closet with screaming protesters outside their home in D.C. while he was on camera suggested to him he might want to move away from D.C. area … sometimes it takes something like that to wake people up. He’s awake now.
It’s a journey. For some it is short and others it is long. But once the journey starts and the truth starts to matter it simply leads to its own end. Which is good for the soul.
Least we started the journey well early and got a seat, after covid it’ll be standing room only.
🙂
Amen TB & so well stated!
One litmus test I will have for Tucker going forward is whether he supports Trump and MAGA policies. I understand he’s a journalist who might feel he needs to appear unbiased, but I need to see that he understands that not even Desantis can fix what is going on. I don’t expect a straightforward statement to that effect, but for it to become obvious over time.
The genuine Tucker, just like most of us, will be a projection of what he believes and who he trusts.
America First Is THE Standard.
What if Faux news becomes real news?
Nah.
As you know from watching the movie much beloved by liberals, “Ideocracy” , that Fox simply out lasted the other news services, but it too finally succumbed to stupid which is pretty much where it’s headed now.
I like Awakening Tucker …
I will like Red-Pilled Tucker best … he will hopefully be a great ally
In olden, more sodden days, I would sing this at Saint Patrick’s gatherings. The words are beautiful and moving, I cannot get through this song without tears. Apparently written by a man on the eve of his execution, I believe nowadays it is regarded as the song of a recently deceased man, sung by a remaining friend “speaking” for him:
Talented Trad Women!!!

I agree.
In profound honor and respect for my Irish ancestors. My father’s mother came over on the boat to the port of Philadelphia in 1901. Her family had scraped together the passage money for her. She was chosen because she could read and write and had been trained as a seamstress. Her family sponsor in the United States was her older brother. Grandma made her way to Ohio, where she was employed in a sweatshop as a seamstress for several years. She met my father’s father and they eloped, getting married in West Virginia and then moving to Pittsburgh to settle down. Grandma gave birth at home to seven children from 1909 through 1923, my late father being one of these children. Her husband lost his job during the Great Depression and then contracted stomach cancer. Grandma and her girls took care of him at home. She “took in” washing and her four boys had to quit school and work at any honest job they could find. Grandma put home-cooked food at the back door of the house for the homeless men who would gather at the railroad tracks near the house. Grandma also had two women, who had been thrown out onto the street for lack of rent payment, living in the extra bedroom for a period of time until their own relatives could come and get them. Grandma passed away in 1966 at the age of 85.

Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, RDS. The story behind the story that matters most.
That song always brings me to my knees. It’s in the soul.
Be blessed.
What a rich legacy your grandma has left you! I wish we had the immigration stories passed down in my family. My dad’s mom’s parents were both born to immigrant couples. GGMa’s parents were married in England & some of their kids were born there & some in Michigan. GGPa’s mom was born in England & had been some type of servant in a “lady’s” household in the mid 1800’s, & his dad in Ireland, but they met & married in Detroit. Unfortunately he died around when your GMa immigrated leaving his wife & one living son, several kids having died young in those very hard times…
Thank you for sharing your families story. This shows how resiliant humanity is and sometimes in the worse of times bring out the best in people. I have seen it and it it gives hope.
A wonderful story and legacy!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone.
.
Here is an old Irish folk song as beautiful as it is sad.
..
So beautiful. Separation, death, grief, mourning.
‘Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred,
No rosebud is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes,
Or give sigh for sigh.
I’ll not leave thee, thou lone one!
To pine on the stem;
Since the lovely are sleeping,
Go, sleep thou with them.
Thus kindly I scatter,
Thy leaves o’er the bed,
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead.
So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love’s shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
The Ireland is strong within my family’s roots as well. Scots Irish primarily.
So, when my father, who was Protestant, passed away on this day 17 (is it time?) years ago; that story was completed and denominational fences mended once and for all in my heart.
SITREP 3/16/23: Reaper Developments And Major Advances (substack.com)
From the linked article:
.
If that’s true, then either USAF pilots are completely brainwashed, or we are.
I vote that it is clearly them.
These pilots have trained their entire careers to face the Russians. Some of them want to test how good their training is.
That may be true, but why would they want to fight for Nazis, just to go against Russians?
They have access to all the same information we have about Ukraine leadership, and all the obvious corruption going on between Ukraine and the U.S. gov’t.
I have seen it mentioned that military exist in their own little world, detached from the ‘civilian’ world.
What could be more dangerous than that, to isolate oneself from the outer world, and rely wholly on the innate corruption / propaganda that is inherent to any human governing system?
Sounds like intentional stupidity, designed into the system by corrupt leadership, and followed by willfully unthinking military members.
Fighter pilots are warriors. They fight and they are super competitive, Some of them want to know how good they are.
Shallow, on them fools part.
“They fight and they are super competitive, Some of them want to know how good they are.”
_____________
Seems like it ought to matter what side you’re fighting for, good or evil.
If the only opportunity to compete against Russians was to do so on behalf of Satan, is that a side they want to take?
How about if the opportunity is to fight on behalf of Hitler in order to go against Russian pilots, is that a good, moral, ethical scenario to take part in?
Where is the moral compass on these men?
Isn’t moral integrity supposed to be high on the list of character traits in every branch of the U.S. military?
You’ve got to realize they’re not in this bubble; they’re in another bubble. The one where Ukraine is the underdog being picked on by Russia the Bully.
“You’ve got to realize they’re not in this bubble; they’re in another bubble. The one where Ukraine is the underdog being picked on by Russia the Bully.”
__________
Maybe so, but no ‘warrior’ can afford to be in a bubble.
You better understand your enemy, and you can’t understand what Russia is doing right now without understanding the constant provocation of NATO, NATO’s violation of previous agreements with Russia, the lawless U.S. overthrow of the Ukraine gov’t during Hussein’s lawless administration, and the establishment of U.S. criminal bio-weapons labs all over Ukraine.
And in this case, understanding the enemy is to understand that the enemy isn’t wrong to be invading Ukraine, the enemy is doing exactly what we would do in the same situation.
And that means that NATO is the bad guy, not Russia. That means the U.S. is the bad guy, not Russia. That means any USAF pilot who volunteers to fight for Ukraine is the bad guy, not Russia.
These aren’t 5-year olds, they’re grown men who have received the best training in the world at taxpayer expense, and who have volunteered to take on the responsibility to protect our nation, and to do so with honor and integrity.
EXCUSES are not part of the bargain. Probably because no one ever won a war by making excuses.
Your head better be on a swivel, and maintain situational awareness, which extends far beyond your barracks and HQ, which means outside your own bubble.
If it doesn’t, then you’re not a ‘warrior’ at all, you’re just an automaton.
And an automaton can’t even fight for its own freedom, much less anyone else’s.
Agreed.
These guys, the ones eager to fight for Ukraine, have their own way of looking at the world. The argument you make is not at all how they see the debate. As I have said their entire military life has been preparation for defeating the Russians. Whatever they think about the moral ambiguities is subsumed by their sense of patriotism and duty. If you asked them they would say their moral compass is just where it needs to be.
“These guys, the ones eager to fight for Ukraine, have their own way of looking at the world.”
____________
Everybody does. And everybody has a responsibility to validate the way they look at the world, in order to find out whether what they believe is true.
Military doesn’t get a waiver on that responsibility. If anything, their responsibility in that regard is far greater, because they are trained to kill and destroy.
And if they are deceitfully used for evil purposes, the results of their mistakes have deadly consequences.
.
“The argument you make is not at all how they see the debate.”
_____________
What is there to debate?
What could their argument possibly be, that could withstand even casual scrutiny?
Are they no better or intellectually capable than the typical Leftist pajama boi and tranny girl?
The facts are not even credibly contested.
The Hussein administration overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 and installed puppets, which it turns out are modern day Nazis.
Russia had an agreement with NATO that NATO would not expand to Russia’s border, and NATO violated that agreement.
Bio-weapons labs are illegal everywhere, banned by international treaty, and yet members of the Brandon administration admitted in public testimony before Congress that the U.S. is operating bio-weapons labs all over Ukraine.
.
“As I have said their entire military life has been preparation for defeating the Russians.”
___________
That seems odd, considering the threat to mankind is Communism, and Russia has not been a Communist nation since the fall of the Soviet Union.
In the meantime, Communism has clearly infiltrated and taken over leadership of the entire U.S. military, right under the noses of these blockheads who are all hopped up and rearin’ to go against Russia on behalf of Ukrainian Nazis.
.
“Whatever they think about the moral ambiguities is subsumed by their sense of patriotism and duty.”
____________
How can it be either patriotic or duty, to fight for Marxists, on behalf of Nazis, against people who are defending themselves against hostile NATO aggression?
At some point, the Americans in the UNITED STATES MILITARY have to start acting like responsible adults and stop making excuses.
Preferably before they commit atrocities and crimes against humanity.
Preferably before they have to make a court appearance and testify that they were ‘just following orders’ out of a unthinking or mindless ‘sense’ of patriotism and duty.
Scott, they are not making excuses. They do not agree with your assessment. America fought with the Communists in WWII. It would be nice if they came to your conclusion but sarcasm and mockery will probably not wake them up.
Especially not here.
And as I tried to point out, they’ve seen nothing in the past year…not from their commanders and not from the media…other than Russia is the Bully.
I hate that Levine represents America.
It’s a disgrace to all who serve.
Trifecta of sorts.,
Brainwashed.Mesmerized by mega bucks. Courtesy of US taxpayers, Ukraine slush fund.Dumbasses are Covidiot Injected.
F-16s are not top of the line fighters. Surely, whatever F-16s that may be provided to Ukraine, will NOT be updated with latest avionics, EW Electronic Warfare stuff, AND what munitions will be available. It’s not just air-to-ground stuff. Air-to-air missiles? What about chaff and flares.
Flying for Ukraine AF is worse than a fools errand.
Them idjits, gonna play stoopid games AND get a Darwin Award. Some combination of shot down, injured, captured or dead.
F-16s might not be top of the line but there are so many variants that it’s impossible to generalize. For instance, F-16 Is [Israeli] have been modified so severely that these American pilots might not be qualified to fly them.
Israel won’t let anybody even peek inside the cockpits so secret are those modifications. And do these jocks really think legacy F-16s stand a chance? Life span in the air would be about 5 minutes.
Has anyone checked if he’s a real person?
Might be another “ghost of kyiv” for propaganda purposes.
Or they love the “top gun” moments in the air. It’s a drug, they have to chase the dragon.
Excellent article. Lots of information. Long, but really good read.
And speaking of death, I have been at a few of these:
No Marty Makary, there is no evidence PFAS in the environment cause any harm whatsoever – JunkScience.com
I gather that PFAs are chemicals. I saw an article about plastic yesterday and how we are ingesting it in our food and from the environment. Next, I expect the PFAs and plastics to be blamed for the effects of the vax.
What Is PFAS?PFAS stands for perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances. (You may know them by an older term “PFCs,” or perfluorochemicals).
PFAS: What to Know About ‘Forever Chemical’ (webmd.com)
Many Gov associated groups “finding” something wrong with them. Many other studies have no problems.
I am really glad he’s calling this out and he seems to be a straight shooter.
Let’s see how much coverage it gets.
Yeah that’s right none.

“Man Survives Bank Failure Crisis By Not Having Any Money In The First Place”
So totally not satire in my world! But hey, I have so much less stress.
Yup. Hubby & I were joking similarly just the other day. In some ways the psychos can barely make a dent in poor peoples’ existences, thankfully. We know how to abound (occasionally) & how to be abased in this crazy, mixed up world LOL
🙂
I think about my bank failing and all that will happen is I will have to try to figure out how to pay bills with no bank account! There’s never any money in there that isn’t deposited specifically to pay one, literally. I maintain a balance of about $20.
Bank failures are only a prelude to s/s and pension checks going poof … to jobs disappearing … and the USD being worthless … you’ll have to figure out how to live with no money …
Barter?
