On this day and every day –
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God;
do not mourn nor weep.” . . .
“Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared;
for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Follow Me . . .
No sane parent has ever said, “I wish my children would misbehave,” and there’s never been a self-help book entitled How to Live an Unhappy Life. We all want blessings, happiness, and fulfillment, and we associate a happy condition with a certain amount of ease. Jesus promises blessing and fulfillment to those who follow Him (John 4:14), but many people have been surprised that the way of Christ is not as easy as they had hoped. Sometimes, following Christ can be downright difficult.
The fact is, blessing and hardship are not mutually exclusive. The disciples “left everything” to follow Christ, and the Lord promised them “a hundred times as much” blessing in return (Mark 10:28-30). Jesus warned that all who follow Him must deny themselves and bear a daily cross (Luke 9:23). Hardship, to be sure, but hardship with a purpose and leading to the joy of the Lord.
Followers of Christ also face resistance from the world. “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Jesus did not promise His disciples that everything would be coming up roses for them; just the opposite—He promised that they would have trials in this world (John 16:33). “But take heart!” He told them, “I have overcome the world.”
God’s moral laws have been written on the heart of every human – giving all people a conscience to aid them in determining wrong from right (Romans 2:14-15). When a person becomes a follower of Christ, he not only has God’s laws in his heart, but he also has the indwelling Holy Spirit to compel him toward living righteously (Romans 8:11). This in no way means the Christian will stop sinning, but it does mean the Christian will become more aware of his own personal sin and have a genuine desire to do what is pleasing to Christ (Romans 8:14-16).
In many ways, it is after a person is saved that the struggle against sin really heats up in his life. All people are born with a nature that is bent toward sin, which is why children do not need to be taught how to misbehave – that comes naturally. When a person is converted, the sin nature does not disappear – and so the internal conflict begins in the life of every believer.
The apostle Paul, who called himself a “bondservant to Christ,” writes of the struggle with his sin nature in Romans 7:14-25. In verse 15 he says, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do” (Romans 7:15). Christians engaged in this battle have a true desire to avoid sin, but they also have a natural desire to indulge the flesh. They become frustrated when they find themselves “doing what they don’t want to do.” And to further complicate matters, Christians not only do not want to sin, they hate sin. Yet, they still sin.
Paul goes on to write, “It is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me” (Romans 7:17). Paul is referring to the division caused by the new birth – Paul is a “new man” through Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). But he still sins because sin is still alive in the human flesh – the sin nature survives the new birth (Romans 7:18). Paul calls the internal strife a “war,” as the new man battles the old man. Paul found the battle quite distressing because he wanted to do well (Romans 7:23). “What a wretched man I am,” Paul cries out in his distress (Romans 7:24).
Every Christian who is attempting to live righteously is called to this battlefield for his entire life. We are in a spiritual battle. But in grace and mercy, God gives the faithful believer an entire suit of armor for the fight (Ephesians 6:13).
The Christian life is never easy, but the difficulties do not negate the joy. We consider Jesus, who “for the joy set before him . . . endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2). God has set us free from the slavery to sin. The victory is ours (2 Corinthians 2:14). Through the Holy Spirit, believers receive encouragement, strength to persevere, and reminders of their adoption into the family of God. We know that our “present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed” (Romans 8:18).
Thank you for today’s message, Carl!
Today is 20240303 instead of 20240304 shown in today’s post. Perhaps Wolf can fix it.
Wolf can fix anything. 😆
LOL! But the question is, will he [try]? 😆
I always assume a gratuity is appropriate. 😋
with God’s help 😉
Amen!!!
Done!
Thank you, Wolf! You restored balance to our world. hehe
LOL!!!
He’s lost it. Blue Roofs Matter!
obscenely perverse & depressing…
on many levels.
Joe Biden has made March Madness a year-around thing. What will THIS month bring?
I would say that there is a strong possibility that he is mixing up classified briefings when he goes off his cards.
In other words, they have US troop involvement in Ukraine being discussed, but NOT publicized, and POTATUS is accidentally leaking it when he screws up.
I’ll bet he’s worried about Ukraine and his payday there. He has Ukraine on the mind.
And as we get older we think we are saying one word and the concern foremost on our mind slips out instead.
Exactly.
I am often surprised when hubby asks for clarification and I found I used the wrong word. Worse, I was never even aware that it happened. I am 8 years younger than Biden so this type of problem would not be uncommon. Hubby is about the same age as Bidden and has the falling problem Biden does.
A lot of the stuff people attribute to dementia could just be due to age and a bit of acting. Diminished mental capacity is SOOOOoooo useful for getting out of legal messes.
Also Biden is now in a very good position to PARDON the ENTIRE CABAL!
why do we ALLOW him to get away with this? either he is fit enough that he does not need cognitive tests–in which case he CAN be prosecuted for his document crimes or he is not fit enough in which case he CANNOT remain in office. BOTH things cannot be true.
“why do we ALLOW him to get away with this?…”
….
It is very simple and very telling, WE THE PEOPLE are no longer in charge of this country. The Cabal is and has been for a century or more.
i think that is part of the illusion they perpetrate upon us. we have no power.
we can blame someone else for our inaction and our unwillingness to make the tough decisions…because there is no hope of success. no point in trying.
thank goodness President Trump is under no such illusion.
we have power.
we have to re-learn how to wield it
General or targeted strikes or boycotts.
We do have the power IF we are UNITED, but the Cabal INTENTIONALLY keeps us divided and at each others throats.
we unite against common enemies….foreign or domestic.
have faith!
That is what I am seeing.
As Burning Bright says, and General Flynn, IT IS A WAR OF STORIES, and from what I can see WE ARE WINNING!
However we MUST stay within the law.
The cabal wants nothing more than another Jan 6th that they can HYPE as an insurrection.
Moving your dollars to Patriot stores and companies even if it cost more.
Writing/phoning/FAXING (they by law must keep those) your reps and senators.
VOTING IN THE PRIMARIES TO GET RID OF RINOs….
Given his cognitive state, I’d suggest that pardons might be challenged but for the many RINO’s involved with the CABAL, such might be unlikely not to mention the unprecedentedness of the matter. Still it would make for a good political football to tussle over.
“Hubby is about the same age as Bidden and has the falling problem Biden does.”

With modern technology, I’m surprised they don’t make wearable balancing gyroscopes for people.
They’d be like Weebles.
They might wobble, but they won’t fall down 😂
Already here.
https://www.dhgate.com/product/daibot-off-road-electric-scooter-adults-two/490886276.html?skuAttr=8888:8583
I mean something like a gismo the size of a soup can or smaller, that you could securely attach to your belt or a shoulder harness, where the gyroscopic effect would help a person maintain their balance.
That scooter thing you linked to looks like it might intimidate someone who already has balance issues!
With a drone, you’re never alone…
Oh goodness… bring back pinball machines (from their era, no less)(I resemble that remark)…
TILT!!!!!!!!
😀
(Nickel or dime a play…) 🙂
what about “fraud vitiates Everything”???
Only good for Bullshit bingo.
LOL hopium pipe cracks (up) 😉
Speak for yourself, pgroup2.
😂
Well I do have long covid (AGAIN) and my O2 levels are dipping into the 80s. 🙄
However I FINALLY got the replacement Vitamin I that I ordered! 😍
The 80s??? I fire up my O2 concentrator if I get to 93.
It sounds like you have emphysema.
I just checked. I am at 93 sitting here.
I found the problem last year was from covid long haulers. It cleared after a dose of Avermectin and I went from the low 90s to 97-98 over night.
So I am going to try that again first.
If it doesn’t work at first, try it again with goat spit.
Unfortunately ‘goat spit’ is not easy to gauge the amount and I do not want to over dose. It did get rid of the 101F (covid??) flu this fall in a couple days.
My back pain flared up very nastily this last week so I was taking Naproxen Sodium — My ‘Asthma’ cleared right up — HMMMmmmm inflammation in my lungs?
I can now walk up the stairs without my O2 going into the 80s. (Last reading was 95% 😍)
I’m relieved. And yes, inflammation is the main cause of shortness-of-breath [other than CHF].
ThankQ for your concern.
I did a birthday with no problem with my breathing this afternoon so with luck I have kicked the problem.
I think Chiefio had a “goat spit” dose-o-meter somewhere on his site (OK, might be a while to find it) around 2019 or so when he first started using Vitamin I…
Glad your Vitamin I arrived.
If anyone here ever has an emergency need or a problem getting it, someone here (I would do it) can send enough (to a P.O. Box, or neighbor’s address or somehow to avoid disclosing contact info online) to make you better 👍
ThankQ Scott.
I did use ‘goat spit’ when Hubby and I were both running 101F. Worked like a charm but I was worried about figuring out the dosage.
Ann Barnhardt has the oral dosages completely worked out for the cattle injectable @ barnhardt.biz I don’t know if that’s what goat spit refers to. 😄
‘Goat spit’ revers to the OTHER one.

This is what’s hard to understand.
He’s 81 years old. That’s not the issue, if he was in good health, he might live to be 100, or more.
But he clearly has dementia.
He has been on the grift for half a century. How much more money does he really need?
It’s not like his government pension isn’t ridiculously generous, or medical benefits, or his salary, plus Social Security, plus all the insider trading, international pay-for-play schemes and we can’t even imagine how much other criminality he’s involved in.
When is enough, enough?
How many more hundreds of millions does he need?
How many more THINGS does he need to BUY, that he doesn’t already have, at age 81?
Piglosi is even worse, she just made an obscene amount of money using call options on NVIDIA. She does it all the time. There are traders who just follow her trades, because she trades on inside information as a matter of lifelong habit.
She’s 83 years old.
How much more MONEY does she really need?
They’re ALL like that.
They must be the most insanely greedy generation to ever live.
They can’t take it with them.
They know that.
And they certainly don’t care enough about their own crime families (or anyone else in the world besides themselves) to have any intention of passing along an inheritance.
So what is it that motivates their insatiable lust for money, until their dying breath?
Some people just want to build bigger barns.
Exactly. It’s the same reason dogs and cats lick their own genitals — because they can.
Seriously, the filthy corupts do it because they can, and you can’t.
Oneupsmanship at its finest.
They’re demon possessed. Their spawn has also profited in their own right through deals and position. They’re all wealthy.
Keeping the crime within their control maybe. If they allowed new blood they might not cover for Biden, Pelosi, et all.
Aren’t there a hundred things any person would rather do from age 65 (or younger!) onward, than spend it in the viper pit of the District of Criminals?
What a waste of life and time.
Look at Di-Fi-Chi-Spy. Does anyone think, as she laid on her death bed, that she wished she could have spent more time ruining the country in the District of Criminals?
I doubt Di wished for anything toward the end. I will always remember her for her drooling days.
Just because they’re high up and crooked doesn’t mean they’re top of the crooked tree. Someone may be putting the squeeze on them, be like some crazy roundabout they can’t get off.
Don’t understand bitcoin but it may be a perfect way to pick up the money, even the Hag couldn’t suicide an unknown,
Have him draw a clock face with the numbers on it.
I bet good money he can’t do it.

Very funny.
And, softly in the background, “Hello Dali” is playing… 🙂

What’s hilarious is that YouTube is pushing a video claiming TRUMP has early dementia on the basis of slurred speech (actually they miscaptioned what he said) and then he said he had made Israel the location of the embassy to Israel (in other words, he meant Jerusalem and misspoke). They then claimed he has some sort of twitch whenever he gets to the word evangelist, which he seems to have trouble with…
That’s as far as I got
I can’t find it now but it was being pushed for two days. At least this one showed actual video of Trump, unlike the one that claimed he’d been booed off the stage at a rally.
Seeing several reports on this now. Let it be so!
DC Appeals Court throws out controversial ‘J6 sentencing enhancement.’ 100+ dissidents could have charges tossed.
Important ruling should embarrass J6 prosecutors.
Hopefully, the light at the end of the tunnel for Jack Smith will be a speeding freight train.
“Let it be so.”
Far too kind for the likes of Jack The Hack Smith.
🤨👍‼️
This is straight-up sound law. Legislation and even more importantly voting functions are NOT part of administration of justice – EXCEPT in the corrupted minds of the communized DOJ that believes it is in charge of everything.
Good grief – our DOJ is a SHIT-SHOW.
So, the Fiancee and I went to see “Ruddygore” in Mountain View this afternoon.
Among the G&S canon, it is my particular favorite.
An endowed corps of professional bridesmaids, the tyranny of a book of etiquette, multiple betrayals, a family curse, and some thoughts on government assistance…..
Mad Margaret is one of my favorite characters, because she is so charmingly bonkers.
ROSE. A maiden, and in tears? Can I do aught to soften thy sorrow? This apple
– (offering apple).
MAR. (Examines it and rejects it.) No! (mysteriously) Tell me, are you mad?
ROSE. I? No! That is, I think not.
MAR. That’s well! Then you don’t love Sir Despard Murgatroyd? All mad girls
love him. I love him. I’m poor Mad Margaret – Crazy Meg – Poor Peg! He! he! he!
he! (chuckling).
ROSE. Thou lovest the bad Baronet of Ruddigore? Oh, horrible – too horrible!
MAR. You pity me? Then be my mother! The squirrel had a mother; but she
drank and the squirrel fled! Hush! They sing a brave song in our parts – it runs
somewhat thus: (sings)
“The cat and the dog and the little puppee
Sat down in a – down in a – in a –”
I forget what they sat down in, but so the song goes! Listen – I’ve come to pinch her!
ROSE. Mercy, whom?
MAR. You mean “who”.
ROSE. Nay! it is the accusative after the verb.
MAR. True. (Whispers melodramatically.) I have come to pinch Rose Maybud!
ROSE. (Aside, alarmed.) Rose Maybud!
MAR. Aye! I love him – he loved me once. But that’s all gone. Fisht! He gave
me an Italian glance – thus (business) – and made me his. He will give her an Italian
glance, and make her his. But it shall not be, for I’ll stamp on her – stamp on her –
stamp on her! Did you ever kill anybody? No? Why not? Listen – I killed a fly this
morning! It buzzed, and I wouldn’t have it. So it died – pop! So shall she!
ROSE. But, behold, I am Rose Maybud, and I would fain not die “pop.”
MAR. You are Rose Maybud?
ROSE. Yes, sweet Rose Maybud!
MAR. Strange! They told me she was beautiful! And he loves you! No, no! If I
thought that, I would treat you as the auctioneer and land-agent treated the lady-bird –
I would rend you asunder!
ROSE. Nay, be pacified, for behold I am pledged to another, and lo, we are to be
wedded this very day!
MAR. Swear me that! Come to a Commissioner and let me have it on affidavit! I
once made an affidavit – but it died – it died – it died! But see, they come – Sir
Despard and his evil crew! Hide, hide – they are all mad – quite mad!
ROSE. What makes you think that?
MAR. Hush! They sing choruses in public. That’s mad enough, I think! Go –
hide away, or they will seize you! Hush! Quite softly – quite, quite softly!

“Mercy!” 😂
I’d dare say, that era is the peak of the highest level of social conformity and it will someday be seen as a travesty once they realize they’ve turned everything over to unwashed barbarians.
thank you, bakocarl…again and always…for these spiritual blessings that you provide.
both encouraging and disciplinary at the same time.
it’s important to stay alert, even when going thru a time of personal blessing bc that’s exactly when the temptations will assault us to try to yank us away from the joy of knowing how to obey The Lord Jesus, and to produce fruits of The Spirit.
we all have personal strengths and weaknesses.
some of us have besetting sins and burdens…
nobody’s ever perfect.
but the important thing is never to get so downhearted and defeated that you harden yr heart toward GOD.
💖
Amen.
Great point!
Amen!
escapism…the dismissal mood…
nothing to see here

I pulled up the case file in lawsuit filed by Dr. Yanping Chen in 2018 against FBI, DOJ, DOD, and DHS for damages under the Privacy Act.
This is the case that involves Catherine Herridge, who reported for Fox News in 2017 that Chen, a naturalized US citizen, and her VA technology school had been under FBI investigation for suspected ties to Chinese government, feeding information about US military personnel to the Chinese, and falsifying her immigration records related to her past service in the Chinese Army.
The lawsuit was assigned to Judge Chris Cooper, an Obama appointee, husband to the former chief of staff for Eric Holder. Cooper and Amy Jeffries were married at a ceremony officiated by current AG Merrick Garland.
In her suit, Chen subpoenaed Herridge in 2022 to reveal her government sources. Herridge sought to quash the subpoena; Cooper partially denied her request, ordering Herridge to disclose “the identity and intent of the source or sources of the documents and images allegedly provided to her in violation of the Privacy Act.”
Herridge sat for a deposition in Sept 2023 but invoked her 1A rights and refused to disclose her sources.
Yesterday, Cooper found her in contempt of court:
The backdrop to this is stunning. The DOJ/FBI routinely leak sensitive information to the media to try to destroy people on the Right–especially anyone tied to Donald Trump, think Carter Page–but now a Dem judge is helping a suspected Chinese spy sue US govt agencies and a veteran investigative reporter. (Btw one of Cooper’s cohorts on the DC bench tossed Page’s lawsuit against the same agencies.)
Cooper paints Chen, who was raided by the FBI, as a victim. This is the same Judge Cooper who has sentenced more than 60+ J6ers to jail for exercising their 1A rights, giving them a tongue-lashing in the process. (In one sentencing memo, Cooper claimed 4 police officers died on Jan 6.)
Outrageous:
FBI investigated Chen, her school in VA, and her husband for years. But a US Attorney in VA declined to bring charges.
The school received millions in Dept. of Defense funds. Here is Herridge’s report and here is what Cooper said in his order:

Just What Is AI ?

A needed reminder. It is important not to be in AWE of AI. AWE should be reserved for the GODLY.
do not get too enamored with it.
evil is very seductive.
AI seduces the lazy to do their work for them. In that way AI can take over how you think just like the Fake News did.
There is a darn good reason AI is being rolled out now just as the Fake News falls of a cliff. The Deep State NEEDS a propaganda arm (targeted at the young) and AI fits the bill very nicely.
Try a search on Google, Brave or Duck Duck and compare the same search on Yandex. The shaping of your thinking should be obvious.
Watching the BEST disappear from search engines is quite telling.
YES!
BTW, I remember from a polymer course I took in the early 80s that Polystyrene occurred naturally.
I got called out by Zak Paine on Badlands for being a LIAR for saying polystyrene occurred naturally.
Here is the information currently available.
WIKI
Also:
Go to STYRENE MONOMER SAFE HANDLING GUIDE 2022
https://www.lyondellbasell.com/4a8a35/globalassets/documents/chemicals-technical-literature/styrene-monomer-safe-handling-guide.pdf
And you find:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is why I think Polystyrene was attacked.
Polysar was a Canadian crown corporation. In 1988 it was sold to NOVA Corp. (CEO Robert Blair)
From personal experience, when I brought up a safety problem to Blair, he had it corrected quickly. Blair was NOT part of the Cabal.
The clash between Blair and the Cabal came to a head over Husky Oil. Occidental Petroleum and Petro-Canada wanted the company and Blair snatched the prize from under their nose.
Occidental is linked to Senator Al Gore Sr., VP Al Gore and CEO, Armand Hammer who was good friends of Maurice Strong and CHINA. Maurice F. Strong … Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the Executive Committee of Petro Canada.

A couple of weeks before the stories were to air, a NH school teacher (THINK PAPER) started screaming the Polystyrene Blowing Agent is based on freon, despite being phased out years earlier. The story changed to a student who later wrote a book (Greta Thunberg look alike anyone?)
1990 Polysar=> Bayer [Polysar was sold a few years later]
On top of that I remember Royal Dutch Shell [Dutch & UK royal families plus Rockeffeller & Rothschild hold controlling interest while Prince Phillip was head of World Wild Life fund] was after Polysar and got cut out.
State-of-the-Art Polyethylene Plant | Shell Polymers | Shell United States
Why Shell would want fast food companies to move away from Polystyrene:
Polyethylene (PE) Extrusion Paper Coating
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So do you think the story of Polystyrene occurring naturally was changed to help destroy it’s reputation.
What do you think would have happened if Blair, and my engineer friend PROVED post consumer polystyrene from fast food restaurants could be easily recycled?
Do you think OTHER restaurant chains would adopted polystyrene as dinnerware?
Do you think it would cut into the paper and polyethylene market?
Do you think it was a VERY GOOD REASON to KILL the idea and take revenge on Blair at the same time?
Your quote indicates that styrene occurs naturally.
Not that polystyrene occurs naturally.
You missed the points.
Now I will add this from WIKI
Tertiary is 66 million to 2.6 million years ago.
The Miocene is extends from bout 23.03 to 5.333 million years ago.
Are you going to tell me during ALL those WARM millions of years there were NEVER any styrene molecules close enough to polymerize?
“Are you going to tell me during ALL those WARM millions of years there were NEVER any styrene molecules close enough to polymerize?”
________
I’m not gonna tell you that 😁
I’m going to tell you your article quote doesn’t make your point.
Steve I realize that. Hopefully people on our side realize inconvenient facts get WIPED and that is what I am trying to prove. Polystyrene occurring naturally was/is INCONVENIENT so it got WIPED.
What is more logical?
Polystyrene does form naturally and that ‘inconvenient fact’ got wiped, OR there were NEVER in millions of years several molecules of styrene close enough to polymerize.
I have not looked yet, but I may actually have the info in print form in a file. Another reason I want to use snail mail.
Another possibility: The polystyrene forms, but is immediately destroyed by metabolic processes.
*I* can’t tell from what you cited that it appears in nature. You’re putting together a couple of facts and saying surely it must actually exist.
But that’s the same error as the climate pukes putting together a couple of facts and saying surely we are causing global warming.
Until someone goes and LOOKS and reports results, we don’t know, and many interesting advances in the sciences have come from people going and looking…and seeing something they did not expect (or not seeing something they did expect).
“I got called out by Zak Paine on Badlands for being a LIAR for saying polystyrene occurred naturally.”

I hope you set him straight! 👍😁
Zak’s probably Paine for his sins right now… 🙂
Actually I have a letter ready to go but our printer decided to crap out the day I was going to print it. Unfortunately Hubby is having trouble getting the new printer to work.
I figure a letter has a better chance than an e-mail esp since mine NEVER go thru. The Cabal really hates me.
AYE-YI-YI. The corruption – it BURNS.
Well of course he was.
They are called crime rings for a reason. They are a closed circle.
But of course. 😆
A good and needed message! Thank you, Carl. Hope things are going well with you.
A fair amount better, actually. My almost 10-year fight with my digestive system . . . gluten intolerance, bloating, pain starting mid-morning of almost every day and lasting into the evening . . . despite several medications . . . had gotten almost intolerable, even when I was only eating white rice and some soup. I was down to 157 pounds and you could see all my ribs.
My colonoscopy and endoscopy looked good and there was no signs of H. Pylori.
As a last ditch effort, I decided to work on my gut microbes big time, and I started fermenting kombucha, milk kefir and water kefir and drinking at least two quarts of them daily. Two quarts is way, way above what’s recommended.
In three weeks no significant symptoms were left and I could eat bread again . . . totally unexpected
My Gastro M.D. was amazed.
That is great news!
Wow thank you Carl!!! Shared your story with a dear friend who has had digestive trouble for the 15 years I’ve known him. Hope it encourages him to try something different.
I saved the post too, just in case it might help someone in the future, same as posts about FenBen and similar 👍
That’s Yuuuuge!!!! PTL!!!
Wow, speechless. Thank you for sharing, Carl.
So happy to hear that Carl.
I passed this info along to my DIL who suffers w/ various gut issues–Thank you!!!
WOW. Thanks for the tip. And praise the Lord!!!

Let’s be fair – she probably didn’t know the pertinent details.
She was just trying to let her freak flag fly.
Seems like an error in judgement like that would be grounds for being taken off the bench not just reassigned. geez
Molly, Come on.
Just cuz they “say” higher standards, higher ethics, does NOT mean they are reflected in reality. But you already know that.
I know I know I know…but it’s all so insane !
No devotional is more important that this one in my opinion, Carl. Thank you for this reminder for Christians who are disappointed in their own words and actions at times; as well for those who see no way to accept the sacrifice at the Cross of Jesus due to their own baggage. This message is hope, forgiveness and redemption for all.
Sometimes I struggle so hard. The last week or so has been tough. My youngest son is being truly abused by an employer he had such high hopes for, and I have been in a white-hot mama bear rage over it. There’s a part of me that is just burning to confront these users with their bullshit.
I am trying so hard to be decent. But I would like to ruin these people. And this being a very small town, and them being newcomers and outsiders, it would be so easy to do. And at the very least, I will have to tell people they aren’t to be trusted to keep their word, or their promises, at all. I won’t sink the ship, but I’m not watching them take my son down with it. None of this is on him, and I won’t let them pretend it is.
Why can’t people just live up to what they say they’ll do? Why are some people such grifters, using people to get ahead? It makes me so disappointed.
Aubergine,
Telling friends what these grifters are up to is a MUST!!! As I learned the hard way, if the grifter does not get punished they will hurt more and more people.
The last grifter I encountered stole from:
That was just my close neighbors!
That’s terrible.
These people have money. They have just taken advantage of my son, expecting him to work with low pay, in the expectation of other compensation, namely some share of ownership in the business, which they have put off and put off. I think they were just using him until they could figure out how to not need him, and them they intended to just cut him off.
But he has finally said “enough,” and they are freaking out, because they literally CAN’T make it work without him, and they know it.
Looks as if your son has some leverage.
He does, but he is too good a person to use it on them.
He just wants out at this point, and I don’t blame him. We live in a small town, and these people are acquiring a bad reputation, fast. He doesn’t want to be trying to rehab their rep for them anymore.
I suspect they will sell out and leave at this rate. I just don’t think they knew what they were getting into. They’re from California. Business there doesn’t work like it does here.
Time to walk. With or without notice…
Tomorrow is the day he gave as his deadline.
Good one!
Whatever you do, just don’t walk in these boots…
(and all the best, pray, and stay strong!)…
Yikes! LOL!
Thanks, Cuppa.
If your son likes the work, perhaps your son should be involved with the group they eventually sell to.
That might be a good thing. We’ll see how it goes.
Time to demand a big bonus (to compensate for low pay), higher wage, AND something in writing for a share of ownership. Latter may bring on liability. Yea, I have no idea what I’m inferring. Mainly caution.
Seemingly his eyes are wide open. And he has you for advice.
Well, that’s just it. He did make the demands, and gave a deadline. Which is tomorrow. Hence their panic.
Good for him!
I hope he can go into business in COMPETITION WITH THEM…. Of course letting that LEAK into the grape vine would be useful.
Either way your son wins.
Demands met or he is better off without the employer.
Stuff like this can be difficult as children grow up. Regardless of age.
Great life lessons learned!
I agree.
My motto has been: “Never be afraid to walk away.” While I’m not a good advisor on business or financial matters, it has served me well. My heart is happy and I am free from unhealthy entanglements. Best wishes for your son to find a great job with reliable people.
Thanks, Barb. I agree with you; I’ve never regretted leaving a bad situation. When God closes a door, He always opens a window.
😘
Way past time for a consult with a good labor lawyer.
That may happen today, depending. I’m not going to let him take these people’s shit. We’ll see what they do.
Is this business suffering under the Biden economy, and shorting the employees as a way to survive? Or are they living large and abusing the employees to do it? I think that would affect what I would choose to do.
It helps if the upper management EXPLAINS the situation to the employees.
One of the small companies I worked for in the 1970s often had meetings where we employees were given the right to a voice in the decisions made. It really made a difference in how the workers felt about the company and our loyalty.
These people have money, they have the means to do what they said they would, which is give my son a (very small) ownership share in the business. They have been underpaying him until “the business was up and running.” Even though it had been in business for thirty years when they bought it three years ago!
I think they have been using him, trying to learn all he knows, and then cut him loose with nothing.
I heard them say once that they wanted to fire another employee, but they needed to “keep her” until they could learn what she knew.
I am just convinced these are users. My son will be better off out of it.
“….I heard them say once that they wanted to fire another employee, but they needed to “keep her” until they could learn what she knew….”
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Run away FAST!!! These are users. I ran into these types who wanted me to move to Long Island and then leave me dry.
Yeah, that has been our conclusion, too.
The Clan of Mama Bear is with you and him. 👪
And Papa Bear too!
Thanks!
Yup. That’s what it sounds like!
So sorry he and you are going through this. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide. It sounds like it may resolve soon. Taking the high road pays dividends. That does not mean he should ever be abused even if that means leaving.
Thanks, TB. I think walking away is going to be the option.
Be Still
The world rushes by most every day,
And drags us with it in every way.
The hustle and bustle, they know no end,
As we waste our lives for money to spend.
Our lives are much more than riches to hold,
Than houses and goods, and silver and gold.
Wealth, power and fame are on the wrong road
And fill up our packs with a sinful load.
The world calls out loudly, “Come. Look and see!”
“All this can be yours if you’ll follow me!”
We feel temptation and we’re all so weak.
Will it hurt much if we just take a peek?
It’s in our nature to stumble and sin,
And has been since birth from our hearts within.
We face temptations all day, ev’ry hour,
But can resist with God’s Spirit’s power.
We must slow down, set our gazes above
To see Holy God, His mercy and love.
Though those around us may think we’re quite odd,
As we stop and be still to know our God.
We can know God now, if only in part,
Though our spirit be crushed with broken heart,
As soon will be here that Glorious Day
When we arise whole, and sin goes away.
Love it! And very timely, as I’ve been bumping up against “the money” lately, and can clearly see the risks! I think the title is the key. Being still – stopping and reflecting – is a powerful tactic by which spiritual armor can then be deployed.

Thank you so much for this lovely poem!
I say this from Psalm 37:7 every day:
“Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him;…” (ESV)
All good wishes that you’re doing well.
Thank you so much, Carl! This is very timely for me, and my son, particularly. I sent it on to him.

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.

Outrage Erupts Against Mayor of Georgia Sanctuary City (New American)
https://rumble.com/v4gh1cq-outrage-erupts-against-mayor-of-georgia-sanctuary-city.html
The reporter is Paul Dragu. He is discussing issues with Dr. Steve Bonta
The first 5 minutes are a much better clip of the Mayor being bashed by the Town’s people. The reporter then goes on and PROVES the Mayor was LYING to the people. Athens GA and names the other SANCTUARY CITIES. (Next 5 minutes) It is an interesting discussion about HOW politicians lie.
At 12 minutes to 15 minutes the discussion continues about how people are not aware that their cities ARE De Facto Sanctuary cities. It then gets into how important LOCAL POLITICS ARE.
At 15 minutes to 21 minutes they get into the Blaze TV reporter being arrested. They go thru the reporter’s comments online. What I found interesting is the DOJ REFUSES TO TELL HIS LAWYER WHAT THE CHARGES ARE! They talk about the history of the US government going after ‘inconvenient’ journalists. And also talk of UNJUST LAWS and uneven application of the law…. Tyranny…
At 23 minutes to 31 minutes they go over the reign of Mitch McConnell and who might replace him and why.
At 33 minutes they go over the Commies siccing the UN on Texas. The Commies are out raged over 7 laws that are passed.
The letter asked the UN to see that these law were repealed and that stronger State and Federal laws be past ‘PROTECTING the RIGHTS’ of deranged degenerate Commies..
At 34 minutes to 42 minutes the reporter then asks, why these groups think the UN has the clout to go after Texas.
The answer is VERY INTERESTING. The expert talks of his time in Sri Lanka, Child Sex trafficking and UNESCOs blind eye and says “the UN is riddled with such [perverts and degenerates] and has been a rolling scandal for YEARS” He mentions buttonholing the head of UNICEF 20 years ago and her being concerned about child soldiers in Sri Lanka and NOT THE OPEN SEX TRAFFICKING OF MINORS despite having just been there.
“…and he was buried in a literal gold casket.”
That fact, plus the worship aspect of George Floyd at the funeral, reminds me of the bible story where the golden calf was worshiped. It’s in Exodus, chapter 32. Look above at the top left photo where people are raising their arms towards the Floyd casket. Then look at the painting I’m posting below.
Gold casket = golden calf?
nice catch

I spent many summer days at Six Flags Over Georgia. But now, those pesky Amish have ruined it for everybody:
“One person was shot when suspects opened fire on police during a riot involving hundreds of ‘youths’ at a Six Flags amusement park in Georgia over the weekend, according to reports.
The shocking string of events unfolded on Saturday evening in Austell, a city in the Atlanta metro region.
Thousands of people turned out for opening day at Six Flags Over Georgia before the event devolved into extreme mob violence.
Hundreds of mostly-younger guests began fighting and sowing chaos throughout the park, forcing evacuations as security lost control of the crowd.
Videos purportedly shot at the scene have been circulating on social media.”

I don’t understand it, either. Crazy.
Looks like the amusement-park-as-profitable-investment model has gone the way of the dinosaurs. A couple of days on social media would have saved tons of cash.

The number of ways to try to bypass the Second Amendment is infinite. They’ll keep pushing, only to be struck down. What a waste of time and money.
Anti-gun laws = full employment for lawyers.
It doesn’t even make sense, any more than passing a law requiring people to keep eggs, or nails, or anything else in a safe.
It’s your property, not anyone else’s. Certainly when it’s inside your home, no one on the planet can tell you what to do with it.
If you are careless and someone gets hurt, then the responsible person will be held accountable, but you can’t lawfully force anyone to keep anything in a safe, or anywhere else.
It’s your property, and your rights.

JUST IN: Supreme Court Sets Unusual Opinion Release For Monday Morning – Signals Ruling on Trump Ballot Eligibility is Looming
My question is whether a ruling in Trump’s favor would put an end to all the state challenges and stop any futuer ones.
Second question: What if they don’t rule in Trump’s favor? 😱
“My question is whether a ruling in Trump’s favor would put an end to all the state challenges and stop any futuer ones.”
_____________
Nothing stops Lawfare besides force.
“Second question: What if they don’t rule in Trump’s favor? 😱”
_____________
Then apparently Trump won’t be on the ballot in Colorado, or any other blue-state that wouldn’t have voted for Trump anyway.
At that point, we have to deal with the Cabal-controlled Red states (e.g., Arizona) to prevent them from following Colorado’s lead.
For some reason an old Civil War song has been playing in my head, and the thought occurred to me that I don’t think the rank and file on the Left would fight. There are too many soy boys, people who are afraid of guns, and people who think the government will take care of everything. It would be a bureaucratic battle of the Right and their arms vs. the government bureaucracy using lawfare and force.
As a minor bit of trivia Gorsuch is from Colorado.
More trivia – his mother was Reagan’s EPA administrator, tasked by him with reining in or destroying the EPA.
Yeah, that’s how I know about this. The Leftist rags on campus were putting inch high hiealdines out every day about some sort of scandal involving Gorsudy.
Then she got married and suddenly the headlines were about Burford. Very confusing.
Not in Trump’s favor? Expect 50 lawsuits against Biden being on the ballot.

Useful facts about who the so-called elites are. Knowing the enemy is beneficial.
Just one example:
These morally bankrupt people are the same ones who lecture us on “our values and principles” and “our democracy.”
See, they don’t want to cheat, but will if we’re too obstinate to listen to their lectures.
Color me obstinate.
One hopes that these SOBs enraged the nurses giving them the Clot Shots…. Unfortunately I doubt they actually got ‘Hot Lot’ shots.

That lawyer did a masterful job of showing how Fani and Nathan broke all the rules of professional conduct.
It was a brilliant closing. All the lawyers on Roman’s defense team were articulate and each of their closings educated the judge on each of the issues they spoke to, so that by the time this lawyer gave his summation of the systematic/office-wide corruption of the District Attorney’s office the judge had the big picture of the corruption and not the narrative that Willis/Wade et al had earlier presented. Poor Fani she was being racially discrimated and her affairs with Wade were her personal business.
The lawyer that followed this beautiful oration from Roman’s defense was from Fani’s defense team. Oh my lord, I just remember that his name was Adam(?) and his closing and circular meandering was a disaster. The attorney had the voice of a chipmunk, the demeanor of a soy boy and he presented a power point that really was pathetic in it’s content.
I’m eager to learn whether this judge is corrupt or if this judge is just plain stupid as he contributed the maximum amount to Fani Willis’s political campaign, and helped empower Fani Willis, a woman who has proven she’s as dumb as a box of rocks.
The judge should realize that he’s been painted into a corner from which there is only one escape – throw the book at her.
If he does not, he will get a judicial conduct grievance of his own. And he won’t be able to get out of it.
Smart move is to fire up the bus, run over the both of them, and back up to do it again. She deserves no less.
“I’m eager to learn whether this judge is corrupt or if this judge is just plain stupid as he contributed the maximum amount to Fani Willis’s political campaign, and helped empower Fani Willis, a woman who has proven she’s as dumb as a box of rocks.”
___________
If this judge contributed a PENNY to Miss Fani’s campaign, he has a CONFLICT of INTEREST just like Miss Fani does 😂
As they said, the standard or threshold is even the APPEARANCE of impropriety.
Contributing to Miss Fani’s campaign is WAY past ‘appearance’.
What a complete FARCE!
What a complete FARCE!
From the beginning…yes!
“As they said, the standard or threshold is even the APPEARANCE of impropriety.”
That standard is from the old days, the era prior to B.O. (Before Obama) 😉
Another inexplicable point, IMO. As a lawyer, surely Fani knows who is capable and who isn’t. As pgroup said, she’s the empress of her own bubble universe.
<Two weeks, we’ll learn if Fani and Nate are fully protected class, they can have a hand slap, OR massively trounced for their actions.
No hand slap. Everything being laid out here would be grounds for appeal if the two of them aren’t tossed off the case.
ALL of the judges and District Attorneys in Trump cases are conflicted!
Hope it shows here this way:
Oh Miss Fani! 😁
.
IMO it shows her lack of emotional intelligence. As a lawyer, she should know better than to show her anger and to act out like that.
She’s the Empress of her own bubble universe.
Much like MAGA, Bitcoiners have great memes… because it’s the same people… remember, the Left can’t meme 😁
.
Interesting (to me) to see this take on the Miss Fani trial from a non-professional reporter (youtoober). Seems like she’s hot on Fani’s tail 😂

Yea, mostly enjoy listening to this gals take, on stuff.
The WH angle, has NOT had enough attention. Perhaps McAfee will order it.
“If this continues, then in a month the Ukrainian Armed Forces will run out of Abrams
Today, the third American main battle tank M1A1 “Abrams”, 31 units of which the United States transferred to Kiev last year, was destroyed today near Berdychi.
Moreover, the destruction of American tanks belonging to the 47th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which it cherished like the apple of its eye until the last moment, is almost a daily routine. I repeat, this is the third tank (first the caterpillar was destroyed by an RPG, and then the immobilized tank was finished off by FPV drones).
Plus, as a result of the battles for Berdychi, two M1150 mine clearing vehicles (created on the basis of the same Abrams) were already destroyed, an unknown number of which was also transferred to the 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Big losses. If this continues, then in a month the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Abrams will run out. Although, most likely even earlier. These three were just destroyed. We don’t know for sure how many were hit or broken.”
https://teleg.eu/intelslava/55702?embed=1
********************************
When ukraine first got those tanks they kept them well back from the front.
That they’re risking losing them now when they probably will have plenty of lesser capable tanks could be a sign things are getting serious for them.
Great news by me.
The article assumes, the remaining 28 Abrams ARE operational. I’d bet NOT.
Also, zero chance Ukraine has the training, support equipment and parts to repair Abrams. Which brings on, who is trying to maintain the Abrams and what country are they from.
I’m surprised Russia didn’t take out the Abrams when they arrived, or shortly after.
Perhaps, Russia wanted to test their ordnance on Abrams in the field. <<< My guess.
Of course. Why pass up a chance to conduct a free field test?
Yes, bet the RF wanted to see how they performed.
PLUS the MIC get a bunch of shiny new huge contracts…
I think they’re being maintained/serviced in Poland… and IIRC, many of the tanks in use are lash-ups of spare parts, with few, if any service/operations manuals in Ukrainian… There’s a whole world of hurt out there that’s not making it to the news (no surprise there).
And there’s a whole bunch of “draft dodgers” over here in Germany, who I must admit I feel sorry for. This is THEIR Vietnam war; the point being (as said by the derpstate): “I don’t want you to win: I just want you to not lose”…
More innocent kids being fed into the meat grinder by Satanic grifting WEFfenSS’lers… 😡 😡 😡 😡
“Thanks be to God, who has gotten us the victory!” Amen, Carl & TY for the timely lesson

Apparently, Nikki Haley won the “Republican primary” in DC.
Must have been a real nail biter!
Yes, just like 2016… 😉
The D.C. Republican Party reported Haley won 62 percent compared to Trump’s 33 percent with only 2,035 voters participating. That makes Haley the first Republican woman to ever win a primary in U.S. history.
The result in D.C. comes one day after Trump’s clean sweep of GOP primaries in Idaho, Michigan and Missouri on Saturday as he inches closer to a rematch with Biden in November.
Her win in Democrat-run and urban D.C. shakes Trump’s stronghold on nearly every facet of the Republican Party, but it isn’t expected to make a massive impact nationwide.
Trump and Haley were vying for the district’s coveted 19 Republican delegates – out of 2,429 total to the Republican National Convention in July – in the race that came down to the wire. Now going into Super Tuesday, Trump has 244 delegates to Haley’s 43 with 1,215 needed for the GOP nomination.
D.C. was seen as Haley’s best shot at beating Trump in any primary race as the former president is expected to sweep the 15 upcoming Super Tuesday states.
In 2016, Trump finished at just 14 percent in a distant third place in D.C.’s GOP primary behind Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. And although he won in 2020 in an uncontested race, only about 2,800 Republicans total voted.

I used to live in Fairfax VA.
I think those DC voters are all of the GOP in DC. Trust me, you can’t be sure that even 1% of the DC population is Republican.
I bet. Your former city and Alexandria seem to be full of other than humans. Kiddo watched hunger games for the 1st time over the weekend, all 4 movies, and i narrated a bit w comparisons. He got it. Watching it reminded me how detached dc people are in reality.

________
Shakes his stronghold?
😂
Exactly.
Lol. Well, its the DM, and they hate him too.
So in a nearly 100% radical Leftist voting district, Nasty Nikki gets the nod.
She must be so proud 😂
Too good not to share … from ot
THAT is a really great invention!
I hope they make a lot of money with it.
I sincerely hope so Gail 🤞🙂
Needs to also come as a “swizzle-stick”, for those who don’t want to dip their fingers in their drinks.
Yes I thought that part was yucky 🤢
LOL, not a good look when you trying to be social .. heh heh 🫣
Especially when your fingernails turn black shortly thereafter.
People might start asking, “your name wouldn’t happen to be Lucrezia, would it?”
The answer should be, “It used to be.”
“and you do look like my father.”
If fathers get hold of that formula, every drink will change the color of their nails.
“Just call me Darth”… or “Darth Shadows” (for those who remember the show… Order a Barnabas Collins instead of a Tom Collins…)….
😂👍😳
If she doesn’t want to use her finger, then she doesn’t care if she gets drug-ambushed. I think safety trumps yucky.
You’re right
Really, it’s NBFD to the likes of Slow Guy. But yea, gals get skittish easy.
It is nail polish, so one could paint it on anything like a plastic straw, right? Don’t know if it requires the heat of a live human to assist with the color change or would work on inanimate objects too.
Finally, I found someone who knows how to shift an old Muncie 4-speed Corvette!
Everybody usually babies them for the videos.
Watch his feet, he’s not lifting off the gas at all between shifts, and while it looks like he’s pounding the clutch, stabbing it, he’s not pushing it all the way to the floor, he’s really only engaging the clutch just enough, just barely, and then pulling his leg back.
This is the way I shifted my ’69 Corvette (350ci/350hp), usually at least once, whenever I took it for a drive. That car was already almost 30 years old when I bought it, and it’s still the most fun of any car I’ve ever driven 😁
The start point is about 12:00. Watch it twice. The first time, watch his right foot on the gas pedal. He’s not lifting.
The second time, just watch his left foot work the clutch.
Your right leg is fully extended, mashing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and because the steering wheel is big and the area is cramped, your left knee has to come back between the door panel and the outside of the steering wheel for each shift. So it’s like you’re kicking the clutch pedal, with just the ball of your foot.
.
Gotta love positraction.
P.S. I hope you get to drive a ’65-68 Jaguar E-type. You may find your Vette isn’t the most fun to drive.
I would love to drive a ’65-68 Jaguar. The problem is the same problem I ran into with old Corvettes — the people who own them won’t let me drive them 😂
I never even got to drive my Dad’s Corvette.
The first Corvette I ever drove was the first one I went to look at (another 1969) with the hope of buying it.
Unless the owner is trying to sell it, he’s probably not gonna let me drive it…
I don’t know what it is.
Maybe I just look like someone who’s gonna drive it like I stole it… but that’s only because I am. Or at least I want to.
Is that really so wrong? 😁
I’ll never come within a country mile of a car like that, I bump into things accidentally. I did have a 1971 Dodge Challenger that had a big engine and I didn’t mess it up, though the bands started to slip which made going uphill …. slow 😣🤚
The city of Dearborn Mi took it. I wasn’t allowed to park in my sister a brother-in-laws driveway and Dearborn didn’t allow parking on the street.
ce la vie
Did you get it back from Dearborn??? I mean yikes. That’s my old hometown LOL 🙂
This is funny.
Emphasis mine.
Why Kamala Harris Is The Grim Future Of The Democrat Party
By Larry Elder
Neither California Gov. Gavin Newsom nor former First Lady Michelle Obama will become the Democrats’ 2024 presidential candidate. No amount of President Joe Biden’s mental decline, forgetfulness, mumbling or stumbling can change that. If Biden can fog up a mirror come Election Day, he will be the nominee. If he cannot, Vice President Kamala Harris awaits, on deck, bat in hand.
As for both Newsom and Obama, they would first have to push Harris aside. For her part, she recently said, “I am ready to serve. There’s no question about that.” That does not sound like someone about to walk the plank. She wants to be president, ran for the job in 2020 and probably expected Biden, at some point after defeating former President Donald Trump, to hand her the baton before November 2024.
With her name on the ballot, Harris has never lost an election, winning her races for San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. Senate and vice president.
She does not believe she’s disqualified because of her so-called cackle. Nor does she consider herself having failed to determine the “root cause” of the three-year massive influx of illegal immigration when all but the hosts on MSNBC know the root cause is Biden’s reversal of Trump’s border policies.

“Grim” 🤭
Hmmm. Two immigrant parents, of decidedly non-western backgrounds, no mention of when (or even IF) they became naturalized citizens of the USA… She’s NOT a natural-born citizen, even if she is an anchor-baby…
IIRC, Kamel-Hoe is ineligible to be VICE-PRESIDENT of the USA, let alone President… but that doesn’t stop the DEMONRATS from trying…
I finally got ssh keys to work today, although I still have a bit of cleanup to do.
This article was very helpful — https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/ssh-essentials-working-with-ssh-servers-clients-and-keys
The essential problem is that most of the guides assume that you are user “fred” on “localmachine” and want to be user “fred” on “remoteserver”. They’ll tell you to run the key generation on the local machine because it will put the keys in all the right places for the local machine…..but if you’re looking to be user “james” on the remote machine, then “all the right places” won’t exist because there is no user “james” on the local machine and never will be.
Like I said, I’m doing some cleanup, and then I’ll be setting up another couple of computers, then I’ll try to do a comprehensive “how to”.
Birdbrain!!!
Any more “Nikki Haley fakes ’em daily” is starting to look like a turdbrain or even birdturdbrain…
The derp state is running her as controlled opposition to shrink the Overton Window of the election, as it were…
She’s just as much of as sellout as Kamel-Hoe, and at least as dangerous…
