1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-10

1When I came to you, brethren, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 6Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. 7But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. 8None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him,” 10God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

I don’t think I had seen that original video either, or at least not since the early 1980s when it was new.

The one I have seen frequently in recent years (from yootoob ‘reaction’ videos) is this newer version, with what looks like a live crowd inter-cut with the character scenes:

Today: The Geminid meteor shower 2023: How to watch

When does the Geminid meteor shower peak?

The 2023 Geminid meteor shower peaks in the evening of Dec. 14, with meteors also visible on Dec. 13. The Geminids are expected to produce up to 120 meteors per hour at a dark site. The waxing crescent Moon won’t interfere with dark skies, making this year’s shower good for viewing.

What causes the Geminid meteor shower?

The Geminids are caused by debris from an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon. Phaethon’s 524-day orbit carries it very close to the Sun, less than half the distance of Mercury’s closest approach to the Sun.

Where can I watch the Geminid meteor shower?

Geminid meteors will appear to be coming from the constellation Gemini, which gives the shower its name. Meteors will streak out from this area in all directions.

The Geminids are one of the Northern Hemisphere’s best showers. They’re also visible from the Southern Hemisphere, just with fewer meteors. 

The best way to watch a meteor shower is from a dark sky site, so it helps to get away from city lights as much as you can.

pat frederick

I believe I saw 3 last night! we slept in the great room last evening and i woke up in the middle of the night and was amazed by all the stars. while watching, i thought i saw a shooting star. then a few minutes later i saw another…and later a third. I had no idea they were meteors!!!
thanks for this!

TheseTruths

YW! Very cool!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Shooting stars are almost invariably meteors of some kind.

The vast majority burn up in the atmosphere; large chunks (which will be very bright as meteors) hit the ground and are then classified as meteorites.

Inside the international mystery of a man who flew from Denmark to the US without passport or ticket

A Russian man who flew on a plane from Denmark to Los Angeles in November without a passport or ticket told U.S. authorities he didn’t remember how he got through security in Europe, according to a federal complaint filed by the FBI.

Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 4 via Scandinavian Airlines flight 931 from Copenhagen. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer could not find Ochigava on the flight manifest or any other incoming international flights, according to the complaint filed Nov. 6 in Los Angeles federal court.

He was charged with being a stowaway on an aircraft and pleaded not guilty in a Dec. 5 arraignment. A trial was scheduled for Dec. 26. A federal public defender representing Ochigava, who remained in custody Tuesday, didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The flight crew told investigators that during the flight’s departure, Ochigava was in a seat that was supposed to be unoccupied. After departure, he kept wandering around the plane, switching seats and trying to talk to other passengers, who ignored him, according to the complaint.

He also ate “two meals during each meal service, and at one point attempted to eat the chocolate that belonged to members of the cabin crew,” the complaint says.

Ochigava didn’t have a passport or visa to enter the United States, officials said. Customs and Border Protection officers searched his bag and found what “appeared to be Russian identification cards and an Israeli identification card,” federal officials said in court documents. They also found in his phone a photograph that partially showed a passport containing his name, date of birth, and a passport number but not his photograph, they said.

Ochigava “gave false and misleading information about his travel to the United States, including initially telling CBP that he left his U.S. passport on the airplane,” the complaint says.

Scandinavian Airlines did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

Ochigava told FBI agents that he has a doctorate in economics and marketing and that he had last worked as an economist in Russia.

“Ochigava claimed he had not been sleeping for three days and did not understand what was going on,” the complaint said.

He told officials he might have had a plane ticket to come to the United States, but he was not sure. He also said he didn’t remember how he got through security in Copenhagen and wouldn’t explain what he was doing in the Scandinavian city, according to the complaint.

Let Denmark deal with him.

But no, this dumb ass will ultimately stay in the US. USG FUBAR.

I agree especially with that airline bearing the expense. they are responsible for allowing a non ticketed passenger without a valid passport to fly on their airline.

Be careful. I’ve read the petition to SCOTUS. It uses a case called Van Buren v US as support for the relief being sought in the petition.

Justice Thomas authored the dissent in Van Buren. I doubt very much that he would take the opposite position in this case.

Unless he can find some way to walk the tightrope …

It probably cites that case in order to try to box Thomas in. The case may not even have the slightest relevance.

cthulhu

Of course, the way things are going (see Michael Cohen’s lawyer story), it’s probably good that it’s a real case instead of an AI hallucination.

Valerie Curren

 😂 

pgroup2

I read that case too. It lays out a principle that a statute must be read for the same meaning as the ones around it. The problem in the Van Buren case is that Thomas did not agree that the statutes should ‘box’ themselves in, while the main opinion did.

The J6 petition leans heavily on a case that Thomas disagreed with. Thomas is famous for having the same views today that he had 30 years ago. IOW he doesn’t change and he doesn’t do politics in his opinions.

TheseTruths

Sounds like this case likely might NOT go in the J6 defendants’ and Trump’s favor, then.

Valerie Curren

Yes, most enjoyable 🙂

TradeBait2

Yup, enjoyed this one.

So let’s take a journey outside the hallowed halls of the Ivy League to the land of the Kudzu Vines to give one example of what is happening in many flyover states.

This state’s land grant University of Tennessee/Knoxville in the hillbilly southeast had a 91% freshman retention rate. They accepted 10K freshman applications out of 40K applicants this year. The average ACT score was 27+ and the average HS GPA was 3.96 (of 4.00) for the 10K accepted. Instead of DEI, which was openly deemphasized despite the state legislature not yet having taken it on (they will); they created an office/staff whose sole purpose is to assist all students in achieving their academic goals and career aspirations while reinforcing their personal value as human beings. They assist students in all aspects of campus life only as REQUESTED by the students themselves. As a result the retention is growing rapidly, the students are succeeding at higher rates, etc. The campus has become far safer for all students.

Of course, the university’s system president is a highly successful businessman and a life long state resident who is an alum. He brought successful business and human interaction practices into academia of that school that had been lost and floundering for over a decade.

They have run out of room to house the increasing number of students with private developers expanding student housing all over including conversion of motel/lodging type facilities into dorm style housing on campus. They are in the process of receiving appropriate approvals for building a pedestrian bridge over the Tennessee River to ease access to student apartment housing that is growing rapidly on the other side that will reduce vehicle traffic congestion in the area of the campus.

Because the university is now doing things well, the rest of the business community around it is flourishing. New businesses are popping up in nearby downtown such that city leadership has begun closing vehicle access to a 4-5 block section of the main street through downtown on weekends to provide more pedestrian access to all of the restaurants, theaters, retail shops and events there. It is becoming a festive location for the entire region.

Do things right and success follows. Use higher education to achieve woke and communist agendas, failure follows. Mommas don’t let your babies grow up to be Ivy Leaguers. Encourage them to go to the successful flyover states.

According to Chris Plante, it’s Poison Ivy League nowadays.

That getting the ice off the truck video reminded me of a few things.

First, I would think using a knife would be likely to scratch the paint so no thanks. In a pinch if one doesn’t have an ice scraper you could use a credit card, though that would probably take a Very Long Time I would want to get at least one door open & slam it shut a few times to see if it would loosen the ice too. Getting the car going with heat & defrost on high would help there obviously 🙂

Second, hubby once tried to use very hot water to melt ice to get into a frozen lock on our car–big no, no! I think we ended up using a hair dryer on an extension cord…

Third, having had issues with unlocked vehicles that had the doors frozen shut hubby once Ripped the Handle off my car door (that was actually locked) trying to get in–I still tease him about this one & his brute strength–he downplays it saying the handle was plastic (yeah this is the guy that still says he’d rather be shot in the leg with a nail gun–really happened when re-roofing our house a couple years back–than deal with a cold)…

Finally, once when I was a kid my family drove Detroit to Tucson (my parents drove straight through one leg, switching off drivers as needed) around Christmas. On one side of that trip we encountered freezing rain driving through NM & after my mom spinning the station wagon out w/ us 3 kids flying around in the back end they stopped for the night at a motel. This was the era when there were license plates on both the front & back of the vehicle. Dad pointed out the 5″ layer of ice coating the front license plate–Wild. I’d never seen such icing in Michigan as we were always more likely to have snow or sleet than freezing rain.

I wish we had a pic of that license plate for there’s nothing close I’m finding on an image search…I remember my dad knocking that ice off & seeing the reverse impression of the license plate numbers which reminds me of an Horatio trick on CSI Miami where they did an impression of the impact point of the car’s license on a briefcase, revealing a partial license, to help solve a hit & run murder case…

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.

Since they’re not very well grounded in their principles, I would expect reluctance on their part, and their reactance to illegal aliens would likely be less than needed to keep them from seeking a new ohm. Indeed, the hysteresis of the bleeding-heart liberals would be overwhelming, leading to the induction of new border agents intent on boosting the capacity for storage of said “immigrants”…

Michael Cohen’s lawyer possibly included fake cases in filing, federal judge says
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4359479-michael-cohens-lawyer-possibly-included-fake-cases-filing/
A lawyer for Michael Cohen, a former lawyer for President Trump, may have included fake cases in a November filing, a federal judge said. 
U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman questioned cases highlighted in a motion by David M. Schwartz, a lawyer for Cohen, to have Cohen’s supervised release ended early in a Tuesday filing. Cohen pleaded guilty to charges including tax evasion and campaign finance violations back in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release, but only spent a little over a year in prison. 
Furman noted three cases that Schwartz mentioned in the November filing, saying “[a]s far as the Court can tell, none of these cases exist.”
“In light of the foregoing, Mr. Schwartz shall, no later than December 19, 2023, provide copies of the three cited decisions to the Court,” Furman said in the filing. 

scott467

This is the state of the legal profession in 2023.

Lawyers in major cases, even cases related to the POTUS and having the highest visibility, submit wholly made up documents to the Court, attempting to pass them off as actual case law, in the attempt to deceive the judge into rendering a decision in their favor.

It’s positively insane.

The high school and college system has failed so utterly, there needs to be a four year school of Ethics degree required before Law Skule can even begin.

Not that the School of Ethics wouldn’t be immediately corrupted, it would be.

But it would add a much needed dose of hilarity to legal proceedings, and slow down the flood of lawyers into a hyper-legalized system by four years.

The solution to the epidemic in ethics violation is excommunication for anyone convicted of such violations on the first offense; no pardons, no paroles, no second chances for such attorneys.

scott467

Yes, unfortunately, the judicial mafia isn’t going to police itself.

It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.

It’s the same problem with everything in government.

It’s all corrupt, and that includes the people who are responsible for enforcing the law, so law doesn’t get enforced.

Unless you’re:

A) not in government

or

B) a member of any (or all) of several unprotected classes

In either case, the corrupt use the law as a weapon to abuse the citizenry in every way possible.

Two tiers of justice.

One for us, and none for them.

I guess that’s just one tier, really.

I watched it. A few things (not making excuses);

One objection made (by Hunter’s team, I guess) was that the House had not formally voted on an impeachment inquiry. That video was taken yesterday, before that vote had happened.

Jim Jordan emphasized that the way you get to the truth is to question the witness behind closed doors. That stops the endless filibustering and grandstanding. They want a private hearing with Hunter.

When asked if they were going forward with contempt, Jordan says there is a process you have to follow and you have to file a report. Lawyers for the Oversight Committee and Judiciary Committee are moving in that direction.

The reporter(s) kept asking questions that defended the Bidens. At the end, Marjorie Taylor Greene said she would have liked to ask Hunter about sex trafficking women across state lines. “You don’t seem to care about that.” 🔥

A google search for the same article title brought up the issue of TheLightPaper.co.uk where the Gates’ Virologist story was the lead story:

I asked that same question to someone in church about 15 years ago, when it was announced that yet another member of the congregation had been diagnosed with some type of cancer.

I said I don’t remember anywhere near so many people getting cancer when I was a kid, and that wasn’t that long ago.

What’s causing the explosion in cancer cases?

It almost has to be something in the food supply or the environment.

She just looked at me and shook her head, she didn’t know.

It hadn’t occurred to me at the time that it might be vaccine related.

I wonder if the regular vaccines are/have always been cancer causing, as well as neurologically damaging, & immune system depressing, as now seems to be the case. If this is provable I would imagine that there would be major, deep pocketed PTB that would do everything possible to avoid that info getting aired out widely in public.

Wolfmoon, Pavaca, and any other commenters:

PLEASE tell me if this graphic makes sense. I have been trying hard to understand “frameshifting” and what it means in terms of the Covid vaxx. I think I have it. Being an artist, I am extremely visual. I am also not great at science.

I think this describes frameshifting visually:

comment image

PAVACA

Aubergine
IMO, the graphic above does give a good impression of what the basic meaning of “frameshifting” in terms of RNA codes getting “moved around.” If I understand correctly, it’s not like the codes are just all “dumped into a bowl and mixed around”; it’s more like taking one or two pieces of code and “re-positioning” them in the sequence.
Wolf Moon, I will defer to you. Thank you.

Please

The order of the proteins a,b,c,d matter. Like spelling a word.

In the order of a,b,c,d they perform or produce one outcome. Scrambling the letters makes the end result perform or produce a different outcome from the original intended or expected outcome.

‘Frameshifting’ is the term used to describe the process to create the altered sequence.

Thanks, pavaca! We’ll see what Wolf says!

kalbokalbs

With one caveat, based on Slow Guys read Monday, that is my take.

The Frame Shifting, does not have to be “sequential”. No set pattern.Random reordering. (Madness, IMO)Looking forward to reading more on this.

Last edited 4 months ago by kalbokalbs
Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes – definitely closer to random than just a direct shift. Because the translations are 3 letters long, it’s basically like a recoding, which is very complex.

Aubergine

So that means the “frame” can just pick up three letters from anywhere in the sequence, and make that protein? Have I got that right?

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Yes – it’s almost saying that.

When you have 3–letter words, and you skip 1, 2 or 3, you get these results.

skip – result

1 – new protein
2 – a different new protein
3 – intended protein but short by one amino acid at the start

But it gets worse if there are multiple potential skip points, and some of them skip and some don’t.

Cuppa Covfefe

Sounds like machine language and bit shifts… circular shift left or right… and if it were a logical shift (unsigned) or arithmetic shift (signed) intended, instead, it would result in all hell breaking loose…..

kalbokalbs

SMH. The evil perpetrated on millions I suppose billions.

Aubergine

What a nightmare this is. Unbelievable.

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

This is what HACKING a system does.

Not just what “hacking into” something does – that being the common understanding of “hacking” by the public. Rather, the way “hacking” is understood by programmers – a kind of logically unauthorized deconstruction of something that violates the design.

Democrats “hack” the Constitutional system. Vaccines are almost by their essence a hack of the immune system. And pseudouridine is a hack past the immune system.

Very few hacks are “perfect”. Most create side effects. Like viruses, which are hacks, too.

Cuppa Covfefe

Aubergine

Barb Meier

This is interesting, Aubergine! The only thing I’m not sure about is the behavior of the shift as shown in the top right two boxes. I wonder if the space at the top right box might need to stay beteen the “d” and “a”. When I first saw those two boxes, I wondered if the shift happens once or multiple times and eventually, the shift would “right itself” or not.

slowcreekno

This shows an approximate picture, but there is not generally a continually repeating sequence. It is more like the original was expected to be some sequence of the four nucleotides A (Adenin), C (Cytosin), G (Guanin), and Ψ (Pseudouridine) (which replaced Uracil, U), in a certain random-looking, but specific, order, which three by three form amino acids, and collections of these form proteins. Then whenever one of the Ψ is skipped in the copying stage, all the subsequent amino acids produced will be off-by-one.

There is a table here, that shows how each of the 64 combination of three of these four nucleotides encode different amino acids. There is some overlap or redundancy, in that several of the amino acids appear from more than one triplet combination.

https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/nucleic-acids-to-amino-acids-dna-specifies-935/

The table shows U for Uracil, but this will have been replaced by the Pseudouridine, Ψ.

What is really interesting is that there are a few combinations that indicate the end of the conversion, the so-called stop codons: UAA, UAG, UGA indicates that the assembly process is at an end, and the finished protein is sent off. And it is curious that in the manufactured mRNA, the Uracil is replaced by Pseudouridine, so the stop codons become ΨAA, ΨAG, and ΨGA.

So if a sequence were to run:
ACG AΨC CCG CGΨ GAC GCC GΨΨ AΨC AAA ΨGA
which should produce these amino acids:
Thr Ile Pro Arg Asp Ala Val Ile Lys (stop)
now if one of the Ψ were to be skipped (marked with the .) we would get:
ACG AΨC CCG CG.G ACG CCG ΨΨA AAΨ GA?
which instead produces:
Thr Ile Pro Arg Thr Pro Leu Ser Asn Asp/Glu? ???
and probably continues until the end of the strand, or some other combination makes a stop codon.

Not the same as the original, and all bets will be off as to what exactly is produced. And there is no reason why another one of the Ψs elsewhere couldn’t drop out at the same time.

cthulhu

From the original report, I had wondered whether the frameshifting was off by one base (as illustrated by slowcreekno), or by one codon (triplet). In once case, you’d be using entirely inappropriate amino acids; while, in the other, you’d have mostly correct amino acids in the wrong order.

Even if you had long stretches of the right amino acids, proteins require folding after their amino acids have been sequenced into place. It would be highly unlikely that a protein missing some amino acids would fold properly.

It appears, however, that the dropouts are of single bases (or mostly so), and thus the sequence produces garbage strings of random amino acids.

Aren’t misfolded proteins the cause of prion disease? And aren’t some of the reported injuries from the Covid vaxx prion-type diseases? Like Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease?

Yup.

Aubergine

Cuppa Covfefe

One wonders, too, what all of the “junk DNA” which the med Biz used to bang on about contains(ed)…

Could there be changed/damaged/spare sequences there, as well? Seems I remember that a while back they found out the supposed “junk” wasn’t junk after all…..

cthulhu

I have long hypothesized that DNA serves as a generalized data storage mechanism beyond its “three bases to a codon to an amino acid” protein synthesis role.

I strongly suspect that it contains much of the “firmware” that runs an organism — including (in sufficiently complex animals) things like the “herding instinct” in certain dogs.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. Like Border Collies and Australian Shepherds 🙂

comment image

Aubergine

Ok. This makes sense to me. Thank you!

Wolf Moon | Threat to Demonocracy

Aubergine, this is a bit more complex, but fully accurate.

The important point is that the “grammar” is words of 3 bases, which are used to specify a single amino acid.

Thus, imagine this orderly (for convenience) code.

aaa-bbb-ccc-ddd-aba-aca-ada-aab-aac-aad but without the hyphens.

Let’s let “p” be a messed up “b”, and if you have three p in a row, it’s a guaranteed skid to the right by one.

So let’s do the substitution.

aaa-ppp-ccc-ddd-apa-aca-ada-aap-aac-aad

Notice that we have one triple p, which is a guaranteed skid, but the single p’s are not, and we’re going to let them not skid.

What will this be read as?

aaa-ppc-ccd-dda-paa-caa-daa-paa-caa-d(next1)(next2)

Let’s translate that back to b instead of p

aaa-bbc-ccd-dda-baa-caa-daa-baa-caa-d(next1)(next2)

We have several potentially totally different amino acids appearing.

bbc ccd dda baa caa daa

And everything after the first one (aaa) is out of order unless we get lucky (because there are multiple 3-letter combos that give the same amino acid.

The problem is that every 3-letter word has meaning. That’s good in a way (it means all code complete), but it’s potentially bad (the changed meanings can mess up).

They are all MUTATIONS.

Yes, that’s right. Every change is a MUTATION. It’s a deal.

I recall coming across some historical material on Roy Rogers some years back. Of course there was a club for kids back in the 50s and 60s. As I recall the kid needed to send in some cereal boxtop and a dime to join. I am sure during the 50s and 60s the post office moved a lot of boxtops across the nation.

scott467

Yep.

I had the leather chaps, the bandana, the matching leather vest, the cowboy hat, cowboy boots, spurs, a Mattel holster and belt slung low on my hip (Clint Eastwood style), with a Colt cap gun (black metal, white handle) and a Winchester cap gun rifle.

Except my experience was a little more recent than the depiction in the photo above (when I was a kid, the world was already in color).

The rifle was pretty amazing.

It took roll caps like a regular cap gun, but it also had spring-loaded brass shells with gray plastic bullet tips that were inserted into the shells, and then the bullets were loaded through the side of the rifle receiver, into the magazine tube under the barrel, just like a real Winchester.

When the cap gun rifle fired, the hammer also discharged the gray plastic bullet tip out through the barrel of the rifle. When you cocked the rifle, it ejected the spent shell and loaded the next round, just like a real rifle. I loved it. It was just like the movies, or Wild, Wild West (Robert Conrad and Ross Martin) and Gunsmoke (Marshal Matt Dillon).

A year or so later, they started manufacturing a plastic crossbar inside the barrel, so the projectile could no longer leave the barrel in the new models.

The lawyers for the anti-fun league had struck again.

RedLegLeader68

As a child [Boomer] of the 50;s (1st grade in ’52) I can’t tell ya how much I relate to this. Roy and Hopalong, but never forget Davy!! Coonskin cap and all!
Had an m1911 Capgun (the roll cops) that was awesome.
We’d divide up into cowboys-Indians; Americans-Germans; American-Japs[enese} and go out into the woods. and play.
Anyway, a long time ago.
Of course, don’t EVER forget Mom’s demand: DON’T COME HOME TILL THE STREET LIGHTS ARE ON!!!!

scott467

We played the same way in the early 70s 😁

We didn’t have an actual woods to play in, but on our block, there was about a 15 foot space or alleyway, all grass, between where the back of our property ended and the back of the neighbor’s property (on the other side of the block) began, that ran the full length of the block.

This area was completely overgrown with trees and bushes and weeds and grass, like a jungle, with a walking path worn down by the kids that weaved left and right to go around bushes and trees, so you couldn’t see more than about 20 feet down the path before the view was obstructed by some overgrowth.

So that’s where we played cowboys and Indians, cops and robbers, Americans and Germans or Americans and Japs, all of it.

I used to supply the neighborhood kids with toy rifles for anybody who didn’t have one. I had two different M16s (one a blank gun, the other mechanical that made firing sounds when the trigger was pulled), one that looked like a WWII grease gun, bolt-actions, an elephant gun with a scope, M1 Garand, cork gun rifles (we used dirt after the corks were lost, jam the end of the barrel into the dirt to load), blank guns, cap guns, S&W J-frame snubby blank gun, even a two-shot Derringer cap gun — a gun for every occasion!

I never left the house as a kid without being ‘armed’… felt nekkid without a gun 😂

This is where the roll of caps was inserted:

Where it says ‘Cartridge Storage’ (molded into the plastic above and below the indentation in small print, see pic immediately below) is where the ammunition was inserted. It was a spring-loaded ‘door’, so after you inserted the plastic bullet tip into the spring-loaded brass shell, you pressed the shell against the rifle where it says “Cartridge Storage”, and as the ‘door’ depressed inward, you pushed the ammo forward into the magazine.

comment image

Just like the real deal. I’m pretty sure anyway, I’ve never actually shot a real Winchester cowboy rifle.

In the photo above, you can see where it says “Shootin Shell”, with a bullet detached from the shell.

You can still get them on eBay, new in the package, 50+ years old 😁

But not cheap! They’re asking $59 for a package with 3 brass shells and around 25 plastic bullet tips (here). The package says ©1958 but they were still selling these in stores in the early 1970s.

I still have a few of the brass shells and a couple of the plastic bullet tips from when I was a kid. Not sure about the rifle, it could be in my Mom’s attic.

Serious query:

Can that be considered plagiarism? Or does it have to have a money component to be plagiarism?

Aubergine

I believe it would be considered, legally, “parody.”

TheseTruths

In the United States, parody is protected by the First Amendment as a form of expression. However, since parodies rely heavily on the original work, parodists rely on the fair use exception to combat claims of copyright infringement. The fair use exception is governed by the factors enumerated in section 107 of the Copyright Act: (1) the purpose and character of the use; (2) the nature of the original work; (3) the amount and substantiality of the original work used; and (4) the effect on the market value of the original work. Generally, courts are more likely to find that a parody qualifies as fair use if its purpose is to serve as a social commentary and not for purely commercial gain.

Aubergine has the right of it . . . parody.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. Great poem parody.

In this case, it’s (Lennon/Lenin’s) reality that could be considered “unfair use”…

TheseTruths

Yes. I wouldn’t expect Sessions to write a tell-all book. I think he is a man of integrity who genuinely supports MAGA. I think he is just out of the public spotlight right now and there is no reason to be reporting on him. No doubt there are a lot of former government officials to whom that applies.

For example, I haven’t heard anything about Rod Rosenstein lately. It looks as if he has hired on with a law firm.

Jeff Sessions, testifying at trial of hip hop artist, details high-level deportation discussions

A Fugees rapper accused in multimillion-dollar political conspiracies spanning two presidencies was convicted Wednesday after a trial that included testimony ranging from actor Leonardo DiCaprio to former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Sessions has an X/Twitter account, but I can’t access it. If it’s active, there is probably some info there about what he’s doing.

Rex Tillerson, who served a turbulent term as secretary of state under former US president Donald Trump, was called as a government witness Monday at the trial of a Trump ally accused of leaking intelligence to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Tillerson testified that he barely knew the defendant, Tom Barrack, once the chairman of Trump’s inaugural committee, or anything about his relationship with the UAE.

I’m just going to note that both media outlets are government outlets. The Guardian is a major propaganda outlet that’s wrong more times than its right in its reports and well, Politico has been used by the Democrats to engineer their narratives since its inception….

Data point…no press conference from either man.

TheseTruths

I’ve noted before that the leftist media does report on news. Sometimes I find information there that right-wing, alternative media doesn’t report on, and they do present actual facts. The major problem is that they so often spin them. But facts like a person’s being present at an event or testifying can generally be relied upon.

I don’t place much importance on either of the events I presented in the grand scheme of what concerns all MAGA Americans. They are just events in the lives of those two men. I see no reason why Politico or The Guardian would make them up.

I also don’t see why anyone might question those nothing-burger stories. For our purposes, they are merely evidence of two events in the lives of the two men.

Please clarify: Is the thinking that the two of them have mysteriously disappeared and that any sightings of them must be false? Or that any news outlet that has reported on them must be making up the story?

As for a “data point”:
• Why should either of them have given a press conference? I see no reason for it.
• The fact that they haven’t written books is not evidence of anything.

Not everyone writes a book after leaving government service, and not everyone remains in the public eye.

The NZ data is crystal clear evidence that the COVID vaccine is deadly. A simple, stunning example.
Steve Kirsch
DEC 14, 2023

This one chart is all you need to know. Deaths go UP. They are supposed to go DOWN.
This is deaths per month since getting Shot #1 in the months of July, Aug, Sept 2021. The x-axis is the months since shot #1 was given. All ages are included so nobody accuses me of “cherry picking.” The deaths are counted relative to the day that the person got the shot.

comment image

The reason this is so stunning is the deaths keep going UP every month for the first year.

This is counter to two strong forces causing it to go DOWN for the first 6 months:

In a “safe vaccine” (if there was such a thing), the deaths per day always falls monotonically, typically a few percent or more if the cohort is older. There can be a short period of this being violated if something big is happening in the background and the shot was given over a short time period. For practical administration of a vaccine, the curves always slope down after a few weeks from day 0 (known as the temporal healthy vaccinee effect).

The cause of this is it is a fixed size cohort and deaths are always proportional to the number of people available to die. This is why “relatively” safe vaccines (there are no safe vaccines) have deaths per day that always slope down. August is a peak death month in New Zealand (the equivalent of our “winter” in the northern hemisphere).

So I chose the peak month of death for when the vaccine is given and two months around that just to get more data points so there is less noise. So there is a heavy bias for deaths to drop over 6 months due to background seasonality (a 27% drop) effects (death rates going down dramatically.

This is excellent scientific reasoning. Kirsch really understands these curves. I was worried about the seasonal thing, and what he did was to ZERO from that point, with the effect working AGAINST any rising of the curve – AND YET HE STILL SEES RISING.

“They’re in our faces with their racism now and need to be called on it every time.”

They don’t care, and you can’t make them care.

That’s their secret power.

Social pressure, peer pressure and related methods of social control only work if the target gives a flying frack what anyone else thinks.

If you don’t care, you’re like Superman.

They don’t care.

Instead of trying to make them care, which is impossible, we should stop caring what they think.

About anything.

Refuse to go along with or accept anything they believe or attempt to accomplish.

Total reflexive rejection of every utterance.

As a matter of principle.

Past several months we’ve read of banks collapsing, bought out, being taken over by Feds…

Banks not completing money transfers, deposits missing… Wells Fargo comes to mind.

Over the weekend, son put down a deposit on a home. His check drawn on a well established bank, he’s had an account with for a few decades. Plenty of money in the bank. Check printing clear, including Routing code. Check written correctly.

  • Escrow company, apparently uses Wells Fargo.
  • Escrow goofs sent son an email. Apparently, Wells Fargo refused to deposit the check, saying, Routing Number incorrect…
  • Seriously. How fucked up does a financial institution need to be, to not be able to deposit a check.

Who knows — maybe WFB will be seized tomorrow and your son will be lucky to have no funds held there.
