Attitude Adjustment
Ingredients
Makes 1
½ oz. simple syrup (1:1)
¼ oz. Green Chartreuse
¾ oz. lime juice
1½ oz. Matusalem Clasico Rum
Miller High Life to bottom (and as a side sipper)
Lime wheel, to garnish
- Step 1Build in the shaker tin—first the simple syrup, then the lime, Chartreuse, and rum. Taste. Miller High Life is deceptively sweet, so before the cocktail gets strained into your glass, it needs to be on the dry side.
- Step 2Grab your Collins glass and add 4 ice cubes, then bottom with some of the beer; set aside. Add 3 ice cubes to the shaking tin and Collins shake. Taste again. Does it feel a little too hot and boozy right now? That’s okay! It’s going to mingle with the beer, which will stretch out the dilution. Strain into the prepared Collins glass. We serve the beer remaining in the pony bottle alongside the cocktail. Garnish with the lime wheel.

PSALMS 81:10-15
9There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god. 10I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11“But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would have none of me. 12So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels. 13O that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways! 14I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their foes.
SATIRE!
Not funny.
Again, not really funny.
Have a good weekend!
Thank you, De Pat, for another week of superb content.
With today’s events, it wasn’t hard. X was alive all day.
Oh, and a quick visit to The Huntington….
This first video purports to show the Rose Garden, Herb Garden, and Japanese Garden. Oddly, you only catch a glimpse of the Japanese Garden (the brown building way off behind the wisteria is the tea pavilion)…..but spend considerable time in the Chinese Garden (which is comparatively new). You catch a bit of a glimpse of the Shakespeare Garden (plants mentioned in Shakespeare) with the pomegranate.
This second video shows off some of the Desert Garden — at one time, the world’s largest.
You catch glimpses of the adjacent Palm Garden from the Desert Garden, and then there is the Bamboo Garden behind that, then the Jungle Garden (which shows up in a lot of TV and movies). Beyond the “normal” Japanese Garden, there is a raked-gravel Zen Garden and bonsai collection. In addition to these, there is a Camellia Garden, an Australian Garden, and a Conservatory.
If you are ever this way, you need to visit MoBot, the Missouri Botanical Garden on the south side. We have both a Japanese and a Chinese garden. STUNNING compared to so many.
Especially, when they are in bloom.
I hope to meet you there one day and have you show me around.
I’m a member, plus a resident. Two mornings a week, residents of STL city and county get in free as the Garden is one of the five cultural institutions on the Zoo-Museum District tax base. The other four have free admission, and only cost for special exhibits. It only works here for some reason.
Another garden you might want to feature sometime, Coothie, is Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina. “It was founded by Archer Milton Huntington, stepson of railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington, and Anna Hyatt Huntington, his wife, to feature sculptures by Anna and her sister Harriet Randolph Hyatt Mayor, along with other American sculptors.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookgreen_Gardens
I’m listening to the Putin interview and I can say that he is so far above the level of our leaders that it makes me want to cry. Only DJT has what it takes to deal with him.
but does he ever actually answer a question.
he’s definitely mentally fit, no doubt about it.
and polite, poised, engaging…informative…like a history professor.
but he’s KGB.
cageyboy
My feelings exactly – and I haven’t watched it yet.
I’m reticent to do so until I can really concentrate and discern what is propaganda and what is truth.
Right now, I’m overloaded because Sally Q being immediately post surgery.
Hope you & Sally will be doing well & getting some much needed rest soon.
Slick.
very.
the word wily also comes to mind.
rather enigmatic, that sly Putin smirk.
Putin’s nobody’s fool.
and he’s loyal….to Russia.
maybe that’s why PDJT admires him…and maybe Putin admires Trump for the very same reasons.
in a world of lies deception and compromised fools on parade, loyalty is scarce.
Putin knows full well why Tucker is there.
Not certain why Tucker is there yet pretty much certain why PDT and Putin got together. IMHO.
Catch the tid bit of Tucker’s CI.a connection?
AND…?
Interesting in today’s climate. Is TC who we want him to be?
TC’s facial expression had an element of surprise.
Yes, however Tucker (supposedly) did not join the CIA.
Uh, yea… Wonder if CIA contacted Tucker before he went to Russia. Or DoS…
TC’s father has a wild bio. Have posted before. Even Wikipoo cannot hide it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Carlson
I took it as Putin trolling him (cryptic remark ?) or trying to be cute, actually referring to USA when he said “you” to Tucker…
I’m not enjoying Tucker’s clueless expressions, BTW…he comes off as confused, bewildered.
not a good look.
Yea.
All too often, I felt Tucker appeared lost, confused, frustrated, even an occasional smart ass smirk.
The interview had no time limits, that we know of. So, Putin can engage with long answers if he wished to do so. Americans, at least this one, benefited from Putins long answers AND how he answers with facts. The listener is required to, listen. Connect dots.
The interviewee has the prerogative to answer as he pleases. Not required to answer, as Americans are accustomed.
Tucker never expected the history lesson, nor answers, that required listening AND comprehension ,of what was stated.
Putin numerous times restated what he’d said. Which DID answer questions, over and over.
I thought it Cheap, when Tucker asked Putin to release some goof. Then Tucker doubled down. Tripled down. Putin was clear, with each answer. NO. The charges are serious. Deception was involved.
I agree I thought that last question attempting to instigate some prisoner exchange was an odd ending to an otherwise good interview. Tucker may have wanted a little more credit for his bravery than was strictly needed. Tucker was a little self indulgent at that point. It is very difficult to stay humble when you are on top of your world. He will have to continue to work on that.
It may have been strategic. By getting into prisoner exchange he looks less like a Putin puppet.
Totally agree that it was highly inappropriate to ask Putin about the prisoner. But doubling down was insulting to Putin but VP maintained his cool and simply restated the official Russian position.
For a short time period, Tucker seemed to forget he was in Russia not America.
The answers are there.
Putin didn’t play gotcha games, the West favors.
way too pedantic, imo.
we don’t need to be lectured to.
we were expecting all sorts of truth bombs with this interview and, frankly, it was more like Putin was interviewing Tucker and, while endlessly talking about Russian history, evading a few questions.
Never-the-less, questions were answered.
—–
The US, AND West need to understand why Russia Special Military Operation is happening in Ukraine.
—
Is there a corollary of sorts in America? (Rhetorical.)
Ben Hardwell [from warroom] calls Nuland the Angel of Death.
She is, where she goes a Color Revolution follows.
I don’t see it as pedantic at all. Putin knew he was talking to an American audience who had no historical context at all for the Ukraine-Russia conflict. I will make two observations: 1) Putin was trying to be diplomatic and, at the same time, seriously address the questions. Such answers require context for an audience that does not pay attention to international relations. 2) The fact that Putin would pause after questions to organize his answers indicated that he was thoughtful but also indicated that he did not know the questions before hand as is common in some town hall events with American politicians. That told me the guy has a sharp and logical mind.
Very perceptive of you to notice the pauses, and good on you to describe why they were significant.
B I N G O.
Actually, a lot of us DO need lectures. The Ugly American is still alive and well. Putin knows this — hence the lectures on history.
To me, Putin sharing Russian history wasn’t a lecture as much as it was sharing the perspective of Russians with Americans (including me) who have too little knowledge about Russia. I was interested in the context of what he was explaining. Putin was telling us Russia’s story.
ht Pat F
When they talked about genetics, I took that as referring to biolabs. Tucker asked about Elon’s brain chip implant and Putin did respond to that saying the world needs to define rules about what should be allowed. We have agreements on biological weapons and it is the US and China ignoring those.
Nothing says this has to be the only interview of TC and VP.
True.
Putin nicely set-up his position starting with the historical background. He knows most Americans would be completely ignorant of that history. Witness those college students who are incapable of naming three other countries outside if the USA. (Yesterday’s open thread)
Without the historic background you can not actually understand the situation.
It is one reason I like Breaking History even though I do not always agree.

hit the shelves a week ago and already the early adopters of same have been seen walking around, stumbling around and even operating vehicles while wearing the freaking things.
WTH
bizarro world
weirdness in videos, at the link.
this can’t end well.
When the assholes driving with those on have and accident and the injured SUE APPLE as well as the asshole, things may return to at least a little bit of sanity.
>>> I am the furthest person, from an Apple fan.
The asshole operator caused the accident. Not Apple. Think Glock, S&W…
i wonder if there is a warning in the instructions to indemnify themselves in case idiots use their products.
for instance on every curling iron i have bought in the last 10 years–there is a warning to NOT use the device INTERNALLY while plugged in.
it boggles the mind that such a warning was necessary.
That is there to prevent lawsuits.
But not to prevent using it as a sex toy.
That’s fine as long as you don’t plug it in.
RIght up there with the peanuts or mixed nut packages with the label:
“Warning: might contain nuts”….
Well, that’s reassuring. Nuts is what I’m paying for in that package…. and the “two-foot toaster cord” rule caused a lot of house fires when it was enacted, as people rushed to use lamp extension (No. 18) extension cords for their bright, shiny, line-cord-impaired 1200-watt toasters… funny how hot those little wires get when overloaded…
[I just took the thing apart and soldered in a longer “heater” cord… that’s probably illegal to do now…]…..
Hey you gotta have a warning for the dumb Sheeple who can’t even read now don’t you?
Darwin had a theory about weeding out those people
YUP,
Just as long as they do not also take out innocent bystanders I am good with that.
Doesn’t prevent a lawsuit against Apple.
Remember they just convicted the mom of a mass shooter of Manslaughter.
I think it would depend on Apple’s advertising and warnings
https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-vision-pro/important-safety-information-c0c84db82a44/visionos
Yes. There are differences.
Sticking with, The asshole operator caused the accident. Not Apple.
Not the same.
The Glock does not interact with you nor does it cause visual fakery.
Wow, that Molech meme really hits the nail right on the head.

This is the full text of the Dr. David Cartland X post from the open:
This does not bode well for the state of the medical profession in the coming years. That they are still pushing the vax is a crime. Those who took the vax are afraid for their health now, and those who didn’t are afraid to talk.
It’s not just the doctors – it’s the hospital corporations, health agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and everything medical, scientific and all their sponsors (Bill Gates et al) and politicians too.
When people choose (yes, choose) to stay employed in death factories in the medical industry I have difficulty finding sympathy. Leave. Walk out the door and never go back. Take a job in a grocery store or driving a truck or picking up garbage or whatever. Take bankruptcy if you must. Just don’t work in a death factory. Quit letting fear and death control your life.
Then tell everybody you know and love the truth about what you have experienced. Remove the guilt and confess. Be happy you made it out and encourage others to do likewise.
If you wish to stay employed in the medical field QUIT and take a pay cut to work with a real doctor. AAPS has a listing of doctors. As others are saying, if we wish to survive as a country we must form a parallel economy. These guys are part of that.
https://aapsonline.org/
^^^ This.
Do anything that does not make you an accessory to murder and harming others.
Help people, do not harm them. Somebody important once said to love God and treat others the way you want to be treated. The whole world changes if you do.
AMEN!
Quitting could remove the one person that is truly caring for the poor schmucks who are stuck in that facility.
We are talking about quitting BEFORE taking the Clot Shot. It does no one any good if you are forced to take the Clot Shot and boosters and then become very ill or die.
My point is that quitting means the patients have lesser care.
I probably should have added that a group walkout would have been more likely to achieve a repeal of the mandate.
That logic is how I decided not to risk taking an emergency use authorization shot. What good could I do dead?

IMO, the time is coming closer and closer that “un-vaccinated” persons who have “vaccinated” medical professionals in their family will have to cast off all fear of “being shunned”, “being ostracized”, “not being invited to their house” — and tell them the brutal facts about the COVID-19 “vaccine” poisons they allowed into their bodies.
God help them if “vaccinated” medical professionals don’t wise up NOW and do what they need to do to save themselves (and their “vaccinated” family and friends.)
http://www.theqtree.com/2024/02/01/an-open-letter-to-medical-professionals-who-took-the-covid-19-vaccines/
I guess this all works to the advantage of my brother-in-law. He’s one of those chiropractic naturopaths.
We need more who will think and not be afraid to act ethically.
That describes my brother in law. He is firmly convinced that Big Pharma is the biggest cause of sick people not getting better.
He is correct. Look at all the shots given to newborns when they KNOW the shots are worse than useless.
Perhaps Dr. Cartland needs to read this:
http://www.theqtree.com/2024/01/04/the-deagel-report-u-s-population-reduction-of-68-5-by-2025/
In fact, every country on Earth that has any COVID-19 “vaccinated” people needs to be truly concerned.
Because the illnesses, injuries, disabilities, and deaths induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” are just now starting to show up everywhere.
Because, IMO, this entire scenario was planned years ago. It was a plan crafted to, first, “cull the herd” in terms of world population; then, second, to dominate / enslave the remaining population. IMO, COVID-19 was created years ago, then unleashed in the late fall of 2019 in order to, first, “hobble”, then, second, to stop, the efforts of then-U.S. President Donald Trump in standing in the way of this plan.
The non-funny ones from the Babylon Bee illustrates how hard it is to make good satire. With time, satire decays, sometimes through conspiracy theory to spoiler warning, other times direct to spoiler warning, then after that, mainstream news that everybody knows.
The cracks in the various narratives are ever widening. All one can do is stand aside, stand behind the yellow line on the platform, and watch them fall apart.
wow.

First, you do not want to go after Bidden while he is president.
Second the evidence that he was CONTINUOUSLY REMOVING CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS for 40 years = RICO.
The question then becomes WHO was Bidden’s handler all that time. Because Biden did not do this in a vacuum.
….
RICO
Interesting that “…federal law (codified at 18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-68)…” Is NOT FOUND and the Wayback does not have it archived…
Going to Yandex:

There is a whole page of various crimes listed, that is just a few.

This is where it gets good. Think of the BIDEN CRIME FAMILY…
If you are interested, under the title towards the right are tabs for previous and next that let you step thru 1961 to 1968.
And then there is the statue of limitations problem. All the old references I used to cite VANISHED… Imagine that.

Millions of Hacked Toothbrushes Could Be Used In CYBER ATTACK, Researchers Say.

those whacky researchers !
internet connected toothbrushes could be linked together in something known as a botnet which would allow them to perform a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that overloads websites & servers with huge amounts of web traffic…websites could be knocked off-line…
Swiss newspaper Aargauer Zeitung first reported this “threat” as an actual event but no it wasn’t so its just a threat.
a very very very real threat.
are you maybe wondering WTH is an internet connected toothbrush ?
example…read here…
https://appleinsider.com/articles/22/01/03/oral-b-debuts-three-new-iphone-connected-io-smart-toothbrushes
is toilet paper next ???
😱
You try to imagine something more ridiculous than internet-connected toothbrushes. As you suggest, internet-connected toilet paper….or internet-connected armpits….or internet-connected assholes….
…..but then you realize, millions of them are already online!!!
How about tooth fillings? Then we are all cursed, I think.
At least tooth fillings would likely be quiet.
yeah they’re not too smart.
🤓
OMG, not if they are part of the chip movement…no?
Times were that some “lucky” people would pick up radio on their fillings (like with the old crystal detector radio kits)… now, with the death of AM radio, those days seem to be gone…
Your age is showing. 😆
Could you talk a little louder, sonny 😀
So goes the “Internet of Things”…. just one of the many “wonderful” things IPv6 brings… every possible device in the known (and unknown) universe with its own IP address, or, in reality, BillyGhoulGates’s GUID for everyone and everything.
Just couple those toothbrushes with triangulation from dense forests of 5G towers, and you’ll be able to track people as they wander from room to room inside their own houses…
WTH needs smart toothbrushes anyway… it’s probably the base unit that’s the real problem… geesh… All of this added tech just to make people even dumber…
AI… <<< The P R O B L E M.
The IoT isn’t AI…
Consider IoT as inputs or data points… AI is just a meta-program to correlate and/or analyze them, but at the bottom of all that lie programmers and system architects… and they’re both human, and fallible, and, most likely, paid-off…
Somehow I’d guess none of it is innocent. Somehow, AI IS OR Will Be used with this and crap like it, to manipulate, control people.
Remains a problem. IoT, AI, combination, remains a problem.
Apple. AppleInsider. Internet connected toothbrush. <<< Fucking Idiots. 
IMO, they had gone too far a while ago: People should be smart and appliances should be dumb. Not that there’s anything wrong with advances in technology; it’s what people with bad intentions will do with them that is the problem. Some people are giving trust where it has not been earned.
Why do toothbrushes need to be on the Internet?
that’s a good question.
podcasts are bad enuff !
some ppl I know carry the podcasts around w/ them 24/7, drives me nuts.
I can’t imagine having to be so connected to the internet that a person uses a smart toothbrush, crying out loud.
To brush up on the latest dental news? 😂
And hear lectures on trance and dental medication 😀
A word of encouragement from Transfigurations
Excerpt:
Do you question that God’s hand is sculpting the challenges we face today? If so, it is never too late to “awaken” to God’s truth and, through His truth, to find implacable strength. As one of the most popular Christian hymns ever written ebulliently declares: “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound / That saved a wretch like me! / I once was lost, but now am found; / Was blind, but now I see.” John Newton, an English slave-trader turned evangelical cleric and abolitionist, wrote that stanza, coincidentally enough, around the same time that Americans were declaring their independence from Great Britain. Throughout history, spiritual awakenings have consistently provided the timely foundations for every great struggle for human liberty. Ours is not at all different.
Enlightenments are messy. Social and political revolutions are fraught with unpleasant moments. Every quest for human emancipation is filled with heartaches, setbacks, and miseries. Yet it is what we do with the obstacles before us that changes the course of history. We are not expected to pick up the weight of history, heave it over our shoulders, and carry it to the place it belongs. We are nudgers. We push and pull at the current and help shape its path. You feel that impulse in your soul, don’t you? That’s because God is nudging each one of us, too. Read it all!

Art and music are often born in a crucible of pain. Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranguez posted by Garrison at CTH open thread today is an example of that.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/02/09/friday-february-9th-open-thread-2/#comment-10569692
“Rodrigo was born in Sagunto (Valencia). At the age of three, he lost his sight completely after contracting diphtheria. At the age of eight he began to study solfège, piano, and violin and from the age of 16 he studied harmony and composition. Although distinguished by having raised the Spanish guitar to dignity as a universal concert instrument and that he is best known for his guitar music, he never mastered playing the instrument. He wrote his compositions in Brailleand they were transcribed for publication.”
“His most famous work, Concierto de Aranjuez, was composed in 1939 in Paris for the guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza. In later life, he and his wife, Victoria, declared that the work was written as a response to the miscarriage of their first child. The composition is a concerto for guitar and orchestra.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/

Here’s a great performance of that concerto by Paco De Lucia. He caused a bit of a stir performing this, as he was a noted Flamenco guitarist, straying over into the classical realm, yet Rodrigo was really impressed by his performance…
The second movement is really moving, one could say battling almost insurmountable problems/opposition, yet succeeding… (hope I have it queued up correctly, it starts at 6:19, if not). The whole piece is well worth a listen…

Justice Jackson Shuts Down After Trump Lawyer Explains Why ‘Insurrection’ Mania Is A Stupid Talking Point
“…. Mitchell concluded. “The events were shameful criminal violence, all of those things, but did not qualify as insurrection as that term is used in Section Three.”….”
DARN IT!
It has NOTHING TO DO WITH Section three!! That is a very dead red herring that died in 1898.
I wish these lawyers would DO THERE HOMEWORK!!!
I was listening to other sound bites by the ‘Conservative’ Justices.
It seems to me they were leading that Colorado lawyer into a trap. They kept bringing up Article 14 sec 3. which as I have shown is DOA and even cited laws and cases. BUT they completely skipped over the 1898 law negating Sec 3.
IF that lawyer is using Article 14 sec 3 as the legal reason for disqualifying POTUS Trump AND the article has been rendered moot by the Act of June 6, 1898, THEN THE ASSHOLE HAS NO CASE! Esp since Trump was never tried and convicted under 18 U.S. Code § 2383 – Rebellion or insurrection
It is so thoroughly moot that the Colorado lawyer should be sanctioned for wasting the Court’s time.
He should lose his law licence permanently and also be SUED by POTUS Trump.
Govt attys have no say in choosing the cases they must handle.
I’ve wondered why the State of Colorado sent a 38-year-old lawyer to argue before SCOTUS. He has a good reputation and is reportedly very smart, but he was out of his league. Since the case has no merit, though, maybe anyone would have been.
A better lawyer wouldn’t have taken the case, and instructed his client that their case was a stupid waste of time and money.
But this clown doesn’t care.
He’s like all the other corrupt people, he’ll do anything for a buck.
There’s always the short straw possibility.
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/draw_straws
You have made the same point a number of times over the last few days so how does a STATUTE overrule or change an AMENDMENT?
Article V of the Constitution REQUIRES a 2/3 vote of both the House and Senate PLUS 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify before an Amendment can be changed. The only other method is via a constitutional convention. Neither of these happened with regard to the Act of 1898.
Any part of a statute that is in conflict with an Amendment is null and void because it is unconstitutional.
Maybe the Supreme Court Justices kept bring up Article 14 sec. 3 is because it IS NOT moot or at least not for that reason.
I bring it up because I can actually READ!
So here it is again.
The Amendment says point blank that
Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
AND
Act of June 6, 1898, ch. 389, 30 Stat. 432 does exactly that in one simple sentence.
An Act To remove the disability imposed by section three of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States .

Thank you [again!] for your efforts to educate the readers of this blog. 😍
You are very welcome. Cornell law is a really good source.
Technically, the justices are limited to the issues/arguments presented by the parties. However when the opinion comes out, Gail’s [and my] view may well be determinative of the issue.
An example of a hidden but determinative issue was in the opinion discussed at https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/elk-grove-unified-school-district-v-newdow/
Most striking of this case is the assumption by all parties [and all the judges as well] during all the phases of litigation that Newdow had Article 3 standing. SCOTUS ruled that the entire case was worthless.
Or to put it more briefly than Gail, the Amendment actually allows Congress to undo section 3…and Congress did.
So yes the amendment is supreme. And it gave congress the power to overrule it.
I haven’t been around the Q-Tree much in the last few days, but I don’t recognize your name/avatar, so welcome!
A perfect pic showing the true value of that response.
The Deep State needs a ‘Monster under the bed’ to keep the Sheeple’s attention away from THEM. That is what all these CIA created terrorists and wars have been about since the CIA was created just after WWII.
Wondering how many views Tucker Putin interview will have.
Looking forward to Pravda News spinning lies about Putin’s answers.
Uniparty will be comical, as they try to paint Putin as evil.
Sometime today, Chuckie and Turtle will push Ukraine money bill, cuz Putin Evil.
Hope Tucker has another Putin interview.
Another Tucker 9-minute video just dropped of Tucker after the interview with Putin.
https://tuckercarlson.com/after-the-vladimir-putin-interview/
I just watched this and encourage you to give it a look too. Tucker said he will be spending a year thinking about the interview, but gave his initial take aways. My impression of what Tucker shares is that the OBiden administration is full of buffoons and idiots who mean the world harm.
I might guess the reality is the OBiden administration is full of buffoons and idiots being controlled behind the scenes by very smart men in the shadows, who mean the world harm.
…OBiden administration is full of buffoons and idiots who mean the world harm.
^^^ Applies to hussein administration, Baby Bush administration. Clinton administration. Pappy Bush…
Sadly. Likely applies to some in Trump’s administration, that were rogue. Acting without Trump’s approval.

Slaying WHO, NATO and hopefully the UN will be high on his agenda.
The other nations will have his back on that too,
CDC, FDA, NIH….all them fuckers are going to get cut down to size.
Well, hell, The Entire Administrative State needs to be butchered. Many simply Go The Fuck Away.
YUP,
Way back when I connected Rod Rosenstein’s sister, “..Nancy Messonnier, the award-winning director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases…” to the World Health Organization. IIRC she was coordinating with the WHO and worked with them. Of course all that has been wiped.
Why Did Dr. Nancy Messonnier Leave the CDC?
^^^ Early lessons that stuck. 🙂
A couple images you shared are not/no longer showing 🙁 Wish I knew what they were for you consistently share the good ones!
Americans need to reconcile with this reality.
Too many Americans are not intelligent enough, observant enough, or open-minded enough to see.
good one!
Actually, most Americans are clued in on Election Fraud.

Gosh, that sounds like … work.
yup!
This needs to be a bumper sticker and on billboards across the USA
too long…
how about
GOVERNMENT SUCKS!
That too..
just thinking that the attention spans of young people these days is very limited…lol
Not just the young. Americans want everything in 30 second sound bites.
We’ll see how many listen in to the Tucker Putin interview.
Putin delivered an education.
Even Tucker was schooled, IMO.
The 30 minute Russia history lesson was important, critical, as Russia is not the Soviet Union.
The sound bite cr@p started out with MTV and the Billary Klint00n pResidency… I think it went down to 10-second chunks… no wonder people have such short attention spans.
Add to that the fantasy world of television, where all problems are solved in 30 minutes (or less, counting commercial breaks).
😡 😡 😡 😡
TV today, the few times I have seen it, drives me nutz because the camera flashes from one image to another WAY TOO FAST.
You do realize that you, as an official Old Person, are not the target audience. 😂
Occasionally I am at someone’s house when NFL football is on, and there’s so much zap-zap-zap around replays it’s hard to follow.
On the plus side they do use CGI to draw the line where first down is, so it’s easier to follow then.
Commercials are so plentiful it is painful to watch from that alone.
That’s because they have to move the chains backward so many times on Denver 😆
[There was one game where IIRC the Oakland Traitors were playing Cleveland and Tony Cline sacked the Browns’ quarterback (who was stupidly and clumsily scrambling) and they ended up 4th and 74… 😮 It was really entertaining hearing Bill King describe it…]…..
This is really glorious. Justice Gorsuch got this asshole to admit that DemonRats do not think trials are necessary and POTUS Trump has NO RIGHT TO A TRIAL…

Not familiar with this site, so don’t know if this is true:
Feb 8, 2024
Tucker Carlson met Edward Snowden in Moscow
https://www.semafor.com/article/02/08/2024/tucker-carlson-edward-snowden-tara-reade-moscow
Tucker Carlson has kept a busy agenda in Moscow, meeting with two key American figures living in exile there.
The former Fox News host met for hours Thursday with the NSA leaker Edward Snowden, Semafor has learned. While the former NSA whistleblower was a regular figure in the press in the years after he fled to Russia, he has largely receded from public appearances in recent years, citing the desire for wanted greater privacy for his family.
The Snowden interview was not for Carlson’s video program, but he did tape an interview with Tara Reade, a former junior Senate aide who decades later accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault (an allegation he denied). Reade moved to Russia last year after several years of increasingly speaking out in support of pro-Russian policies. In 2022, the Russian delegation to the United Nations called her to speak in 2022 on “weapons diversion,” and hosted Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations on her YouTube channel. When she made her allegations in 2020, Carlson stood out on the right for his skepticism.
This is as far as I got in the “Catturd vs. Taylor Swift” article linked up above:
“Choosing Catturd as your avatar signals you stand for crudeness and downward mobility. Taylor Swift as your poster girl says something different. Swift is clean-cut, relatively wholesome, and aspirational. It’s a far cry from a MAGA turd who talks shit.”
Time for some of my own crudeness, so pardon me.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Swift is clean-cut?
Yeah, totally, as she wears her skin-tight, slutty, half-costume atop her Saturn-worship cube. A perfect role model.
Relatively wholesome?
She’s had TWELVE public relationships, none of which have gone anywhere at all. Who wants that for their daughter?
Aspirational?
Yeah, who doesn’t want to be the public punch for twelve guys, enticing young women to devil worship, while singing about the misery of being single yet again?
If we can’t make the case that this is not clean-cut, wholesome, or God-forbid, something to aspire to, we deserve to lose.
Taylor Swift accused of promoting WITCHCRAFT and SATANISM on “The Eras Tour”
http://www.vigilantcitizen.com has a bunch of articles on her… the “industry” has been setting her up for this for a long time… at least since 2012…
I’m detecting a theme 
Eros – Wikipedia
In Greek mythology, Eros ( UK: / ˈɪərɒs, ˈɛrɒs /, US: / ˈɛrɒs, ˈɛroʊs /; [3] Ancient Greek: Ἔρως, lit. ‘Love, Desire’) is the Greek god of love and sex. His Roman counterpart was Cupid (‘desire’). [4]
Eris (mythology) – WikipediaEris ( / ˈɪərɪs, ˈɛrɪs /; Greek: Ἔρις Éris, “Strife”) is the Greek goddess of strife and discord. Her Roman equivalent is Discordia, which means the same. Eris’s Greek opposite is Harmonia, whose Roman counterpart is Concordia, [3] though she is also described as opposing Nike, counterpart of the Roman Victoria.
Erra (god) – WikipediaErra (sometimes called Irra) is an Akkadian plague god known from an ‘epos’ [1] of the eighth century BCE. Erra is the god of mayhem and pestilence who is responsible for periods of political confusion. He was assimilated to Nergal at some point. [2] Epic of Erra
Maybe they could call it the Error Tour… or 404 for short…
Remember, the Devil presents himself as an angel of light…
Not-so-Swift’s constant bitching about bad men is just another misandrous attack on men, manhood, and, in point of fact, GOD HIMSELF… but it’s candy-coated (poisonous, no less) so the sheeple don’t see…
The snake outfit fits her to a “T”… as in Teufel…
I’d say Taylor Swift is a distraction, but it does seem like her ascendency to stardom is more about normalizing Satanism than anything else. She’s a confected side show act.
Hmmm. Hand gesture there…. 👹 👺 🤖

Verse of the Day for Friday, February 9, 2024
✟
“Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
James 5:16 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
