Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!
We will always remember Wheatie,
Pray for Trump,
Yet have fun,
and HOLD ON when things get crazy!
We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:
“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:
- Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
- Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
- Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
- Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:
hodden
noun
coarse, undyed, woolen cloth
Used in a sentence
There is a long trail of custom and law for Scottish dress codes mandating the undyed cloth of lachdann and hodden for the common people.
MUSIC!
Some recent epic musical performance from one of Wheatie’s favorite artists.
THE STUFF
First, a doc – as in a documentary. This is soothing scientific clickbait. Just enjoy it in the background, if you have free time.
Another doc, as in Doc Holliday.
Everything you ever wanted to know, badly combined with marginally appropriate images grabbed from a few movies.
As one commenter says, “These AI written scripts drive me crazy”.
Ah, but so many great memes from that story!
And of course the classic!
Looks like that last meme is coming back A THIRD TIME.
Just sayin’!
And remember…….
Oscar Wilde using the word of the day:

Miss you, Wolf! I’m praying for you!
I haven’t seen reports of this anywhere else.
Looks like it happened in a residential neighborhood, and the incident did not occur in view of the ring camera, only the audio was recorded.
Gunfire seems to be close enough to the ring camera that shouting by the police should be audible too, but I didn’t hear anything besides the gunfire.
The video at the link plays the same exchange of gunfire three times. You can tell that it’s looping by one of the tiny flashing lights in the center of the tree branches immediately to the right of the walkway, because the flashing light resets down and to the left after each exchange of gunfire. You can also hear what sounds like the same squeaky hinge on a gate, right before each exchange of gunfire. Trying to count the gunshots, I would guess at least 50 shots or more fired.
If the cops have Glock G17s, those have 17 round magazines plus one in the chamber, and all three cops likely fired until empty (mag dump), so that’s 54 shots plus however many shots the criminals fired. If three cops were shot, they would have approached from both sides of the car. It would be difficult for a driver alone to hit all three cops, when one or more would have approached from the passenger side, so I would guess there were at least two criminals shooting, so add another 20 rounds (at least) fired by the criminals, for around 74 shots fired in those few seconds.
Looks like they have redefined ‘mass casualty incident’ to include any type of incident where more than one person has been injured. This doesn’t appear to be a case where some lone gunman went to a crowded place and started shooting, as is generally meant by ‘mass casualty incident’.
So I would guess there was a traffic stop and the driver or passenger resisted arrest, but if three cops were injured, that would mean at least two cop cars were involved in the stop, which seems strange, unless the first car called for backup and the shooting didn’t start until after backup arrived.
Hopefully the cop who was shot in the chest had his vest on.
Guessing the ‘additional victims’ were innocent people in their homes hit with stray bullets.
Unless it was a SWAT type home raid, in which case the ‘additional victims’ could be other people in the targeted house. If it was a home raid, it seems reckless to do something like that where innocent people in nearby homes could be injured.
Just like with David Koresh. They didn’t need to storm the compound like it was a reenactment of the D-Day invasion. Koresh went jogging every morning, they could have arrested him without incident any day of the week, without getting all dressed up in their mall Ninja outfits and going in with guns a blazin’.
Guessing 99% chance the criminals were members of a protected-class.
Guessing 99% chance the criminals have long records, including recent arrests, and were released repeatedly without bail (or even charges).
Nothing is verified yet but this looks to be in the 1% chance, so I am intrigued and will follow the story. Two officers and the suspect are deceased.
😪
Some of the stories were saying the vehicle was stolen. But that doesn’t pan. They stopped the vehicle at first and then it got away. They tracked the vehicle to owners home and that is where the shoot out took place (bye bye stolen vehicle reports). According this story an AR style weapon had been spotted in the back of the vehicle. When cops showed up at the home, they heard a rifle racking a round and then the shooting began.
Still no identify on suspect. Unless it’s Hunter Biden there’s not a good reason for that.
https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2024/04/large-police-presence-at-shooting-in-salina-initial-reports-are-officer-shot.html
…heard a rifle racking… <<< Interesting.
Looking forward to clear statements with a timeline.
Several oddities. More information on deceased bad guy, person handcuffed, ages, backgrounds… In another post, Holly mentioned White guy, elementary teacher in his 60s.
Sniffing FF.
So if you get pulled over, the cops have your plates.
Plates link to name, photo and home address.
So if you run from the Police, after they have your plate number, home is probably the last place you want to go.
Unless you’re looking to turn yourself in 😂
Faux News has this.
New York police officer, sheriff’s deputy killed in shooting; suspect also dead
A Syracuse police officer and an Onondaga County sheriff’s deputy were killed in a shooting in Salina, New York, on Sundayhttps://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-police-officer-sheriffs-deputy-killed-shooting-suspect-dead
The homeowner is a sixty something white male elementary school teacher. That’s why I’m following.
That piques my interest. Please share what you find.
(These days I rarely follow shootings.)
Same kalbo but there is something odd going on here. Reports of one shooter, then two and now I’m hearing three and an ambush. Trying to dig through it all. I’m in a different county, but Syracuse is the largest city near me so I get that area’s news.
Shooter ID’d as 33-year-old son of homeowner. Christopher Murphy.
I didn’t see anything.

Wow, that’s weird. Previously you had a Fozzy Bear video about gutter pigs & drunks & now it’s the same topics but in CONgress…hmmm. Did you change the video or would that be WordPiss gremlins?
Gremlins.
The video is cached, and the cache got switched.
That’s sounds pretty strange to this non-techie…hmm…
Hope Wolf is aware of this, if it’s a bigger issue. I mean “bad guys” could change our comments at will making us appear to say things we weren’t saying… 🙄

Obviously we will win the most votes.
But who wins the vote count?
The depraved debauched Democrats in the judiciary and prosecution have been making a mockery of our legal system and abusing every power of their offices.
They are following the pattern of Øbastid and his AG Holder, who brazenly abused their offices to attack political opponents from day one.
These are pagan pillagers and destroyers. They have no fear of The One True GOD and no regard for our Country, Constitution, or Citizens.
The RINOs like Pence and McConnell are their craven cowardly accomplices and play along with the destroyers in order to preserve their power and profit.
We’ll miss you Brian.
You were a good friend.
.
edit: I knew that sarcastic expression from somewhere, but I couldn’t place it. Then it came to me. It was House.
Wilson had gone to see a play with Cuddy, so House sent flowers to Wilson with a note, and made it seem like Cuddy had sent them, expressing romantic interest.
This scares Wilson, who runs away when he sees Cuddy.
House, expressing fake sorrow at the fate of his old friend, says “I’ll miss you. You were a good friend.” (at the 2:30 mark)
House still makes me laugh, all these years later 😂
.
Hugh Laurie has some unexpected talents…..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzEBH6DZJVk
Bertie Wooster sometimes played. 😄
This is weird, but were you showing that House clip (which would make sense given Cthuhu’s Hugh Laurie reply) originally? I saw your comment earlier, before the edit so no video was there but now there is the same Snowden video that I shared elsewhere.
Above (or is it below?) a comment by Cthulhu to me about “great minds” had a Fozzy Bear video, but now shows the Jim Jordan debate video I also shared elsewhere. I wonder if it’s happening w/ anyone else’s videos or even what it might mean? 🙄
Valerie, the original post is above the word ‘edit’. I came back later and added to the post after I remembered that House, M.D. was the source of the expression, and tracked down the video clip.
I don’t know why it would be showing the Snowden video, it is a video clip from the old House M.D. episode, showing the scene I described in the edited post.
Here is a repost of the House, M.D. video clip link. If it is showing the Snowden video, then I would guess it has something to do with your browser and youtube ‘coookies’ that is confusing the two videos. Might clear up if you clear your browser cache, but then that might log you out of any websites you’re logged into, too:
.
I had to put the CC on to get House’s sexual metaphors…later he’s talking to Wilson & he says “Cuddy likes bold” but the CC has is as “Cuddy likes bald” (as if!–sorry to any bald guys in the Tree) LOL
fwiw my son Josiah revealed his double vision to me at some point after HS when we were watching a House episode & he was hunched forward, leaning his face down, & basically looking forward through his eyebrows. I thought he was having back pain or something so asked him why he was sitting that way & he goes “Because if I don’t then I see TWO Wilsons”…I about hit the roof. The kid went through All of his school years with undiagnosed double vision…sigh…
Later he gets a very complex eye exam by the pediatric neurological ophthalmologist, the same doc that had to sign off on his brain tumor surgery since the Pituitary Adenoma was pressing on/adjacent to his optic nerve. Anyway he was diagnosed with, iirc, V-Pattern Esotropia, & had surgery on both eyes that, thankfully, Mostly corrected it.
So in addition to having almost every House episode involve some test, diagnosis, &/or procedure that we’ve been through with Josiah I now also associate watching the show w/ discovering his Never-Before-Mentioned Double Vision!!! I still love House, the Character AND the Show!
So I can clearly see the House video immediately above & will reload the page after making my way through current new stuff & let you know if House remains immediately above &/or (re)appears where my video previously showed (at least for me) in your other comment…
I REALLY hope that this video swap issue is just My Own problem & Not indicative of something/one messing with the Q-Tree!!!
I’ve had the video swap thing for years, but not consistently. I doubt it’s something nefarious.
Hope you are right!
Wow, I’m glad Josiah said something and that the doctors were able to help him!
If he always had double vision, how could he know it shouldn’t be that way? OTOH, I would have hoped an eye doctor would have figured it out during a routine eye exam at some point.
No exam was routine with him, especially when he was younger & more problematically autistic (communication, behavior, & sensory issues). Yes we were thankful his vision problems were largely corrected (it was 100% corrected right after the surgery but diminished a bit since then)…
The House video remains in this comment too after reloading the page 🙂
The video Cthulhu posted was a music video, showing Hugh Laurie (Greg House in House, M.D.) doing a music performance. He has at least one album out, maybe more.
Yes I saw that AND enjoyed it!
House shows here now too for me after reloading the page!

He’s got to be kidding. The left wants Trump ordered to prison. This guy ⬇️ agrees with me.
Remember all of this when the boot is on the other foot.
Because when it is, that boot is going so far up the enemy’s ass that women and children will beg for mercy on behalf of the traitors.
And if there is even ONE MAN standing, those pleas will go unheard.

The boat men have arrived on our shores.
Some are picked up by an awaiting car instantly.
This is reportedly happening daily in Carlsbad, California. Groups of middle-aged males arrive illegally via boat and then dispersed throughout the city in cars. No screening, no check required. Local authorities ignore this due to politics.

Thanks, cops.
They put the ‘dereliction’ in dereliction of duty.
Thx for finding the version that plays here! I’ve never seen a boat being beached like that, leaving the motor down to drag in the sand. Very strange…
Money is not a concern. Well funded. Hell, the boat may be stolen.
Inserting military age bad guys is the focus.
Hope license plate information was provided to LE AND LE takes action.
Them bad guys are prime material fto carry out an Oct 7 in America.

The Second Amendment post WWII veteran’s fight against political corruption in Athens, Tennessee.
https://gab.com/GolddiggerPatriot/posts/112271863540411504
Not hoping, but it clearly shows the difference between then and now, back in a time when there were men who understood the lawful use of force and were prepared to use it. None of the insanity happening today would have happened back then.
For one thing, the men who returned from WWII knew how to fight and wouldn’t put up with it.
And second, the politicians knew the men who returned from WWII knew how to fight, so they wouldn’t even dream of trying to get away with the blatant criminality and immorality of today.
A male dominated society would never put up with the criminal tyrannical political-class, and by the same token, the criminal political-class would never try to get away with the insanity they do, in a male dominated society, where the men have guns.
When women are in positions of power or authority throughout society, then by definition, men are not in those same positions. When women are ’empowered’ by the State, men are necessarily ‘disempowered’.
Women are generally not physically confrontational, for obvious reasons. They will always look for any and every way except use of force in response to force.
Women will never do anything forceful to challenge State tyranny. You will never see a band of armed soccer moms charging city hall. Disempowered men are in no position to do anything forceful to challenge State tyranny.
All by design of the Marxists / Leftists, to destroy Western nations from the inside out. Divide women against men, empower women and emasculate men, so no one will ever confront the tyrannical government.
That is a nice thought, but the Devil fears no man.
Even the archangel Michael was careful about how he contended with the Devil (cf. Jude 1:9)
Too true…

How about anyone contributing anything to the Zelensky regime after they murdered Gonzalo Lira is complicit in his death?
Appears that way. Could be part of why Iran threw the, I’ll quit fighting if you (Israel) quit.
I do wonder how many SM3 the USN fired at the three Iranian missiles. Did they actually intercept the Iranian missiles. Or did Iranian missiles themselves, fail.
It’s very difficult to get reliable information from that region because everyone and their brothers-in-law has a narrative they want to push, many of which are completely bonkers.
I joke sometimes that fine cuisine arrived on earth aboard a meteor that landed in Tuscany, and spread from there in concentric circles. [As a side note, French cuisine got a massive kickstart from Catherine de’ Medici when she became queen of France.]
In the same regard, it might be said that governmental corruption arrived on earth on a meteor of baksheesh that landed in Persia.
It’s like the reporting on the night, a different story where ever one looks.
This one says the broken rockets pictured on the ground are “ejected booster stages of two-stage rockets”.
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/iran-breaches-anglo-zionist-defenses
Lotsa interesting information and what could be, may have. Presented that way, as the writer and we simply do not, know.
My take is Israel got the short end of the stick, totally. Israel knows it. Iran knows it. USG knows it. Prolly all governments in the ME, Russia and Chinee know it.
We always knew this was true.
Strong horse indeed. Kurt followed the weak horse for POTUS.
I watched the oarfish video. It was quite informative.
There are a number of things they put a weird slant to. For example, my original dive certification was NAUI Open Water I (it’s now Open Water II). By definition, this is diving over a deep inaccessible bottom (drop something and it is gone). This is not unusual and barely even noteworthy. When the video discusses this, and the diver is brushing the instruments on the buoy, I note that the brushes are tethered to the diver but float upward when he releases them….which is entirely to be expected. The narration is creating drama where there is none.
Similarly, I have done night dives as a recreational diver. You are not completely alone and untethered — you have your gauges for depth, your fellow divers are normally wearing glowsticks, and you typically follow something (like the buoy chain) up-and-down. If you get lost, you will typically have a compass and can surface to locate your boat. That said, I’ve had some nervous moments at night in a shallow gully with a large barracuda — not that we were interested in interacting, but the space was tight.
I can, however, sympathize with their alarm at reading 71 meters while pursuing particular photos. 71 meters is about 240 feet and is well past my deepest dive. The way that normal SCUBA works is that you are inflated to compensate for the water pressure at depth. If your tank holds 1000 breaths at the surface, it will feed you air at twice the pressure at 32 feet….which means you will have 500 breaths. If you are at 64 feet, it will feed you air at three times the surface pressure and you will have 333 breaths; if you are at 96 feet, it will feed you air at four times the pressure and you will have 250 breaths. At 240 feet, you have very few breaths to play with. That said, they were on rebreathers (which is a whole ‘nother bunch of technical stuff).
Did you say Barracuda?
Thx for the diving info too!
Seeing what the barracuda can do to a lionfish, it could easily mess up a human leg.
Yikes. Definitely not to be taken lightly!!!
Great song.
Yes! I heard it for the first time a few years back when out driving & I was like This is Classic Rock & Roll–Absolutely LOVE It! 😍 Wish they still made music like this now but thankful we can at least find recordings of the Great Stuff!!!
Besides just running out of air, you also need to keep track of “the bends”, AKA “decompression sickness”.
When you breathe air at pressure, the gasses in the air are absorbed by every part of your body. The most common part of the atmosphere (about 70%) is nitrogen. When you inhale pressurized air, nitrogen is slowly deposited in every part of your body. If you have a can of soda, it is pressurized with carbon dioxide — which slowly dissolves into the soda.
If you rapidly return to the surface, that same nitrogen wants to exit all the body tissues where it was deposited, in a similar way that an opened can of soda wants to release all of its dissolved carbon dioxide. In both cases, if you’re unlucky, the gas foams over.
You can get “skin bends”, where you get painful bubbles under the skin which crackle. The classic “bends” is when the fluid in your joints get bubbles causing pain that is worse if you don’t clench your joints tight. And, then, you can get a very common form where bubbles form in your neurospinal fluid and pinch nerves. This is what the Fiancee got in Hawaii.
The problem with the pinched nerves from decompression sickness is that the nerves swell after the bubbles have pinched them, and do not resolve when the bubbles fade away. This can lead to permanent paralysis.
In Hawaii, part of the treatment is the “Kuakini spike”, where patients are immediately pressurized to the equivalent of 200 feet of sea water on admittance — usually shrinking gas bubbles to nothing. This allows the attending physician to evaluate long-term nerve damage against short-term irritation. Dr. Robert Overlock, one of the world’s best doctors for DCS treatment, was a major part of developing this protocol.
The Fiancee showed nearly complete remission of symptoms during the spike, which showed that she would likely escape permanent damage. Unfortunately, time spent at that pressure adds to the tissue loading that drives the risk, so it must need be temporary. In addition, patients are accompanied by volunteer aides who experience the same pressures themselves and are therefore exposed to risk.
We ended up spending an unforeseen fourteen days on Oahu with the Fiancee riding the chamber most days. You’d never know it to look at her.
Oh my, that was a pretty scary situation & glad to hear she is mostly OK. Is that decompression chamber the same thing as a “hyperbaric oxygen” chamber? There is one advertised on a local Christian radio station as a treatment for autism among other things. Those types of risks aren’t mentioned in the commercials though…
Yes. A hyperbaric chamber is a “hyper” (= a lot) “baric” (= pressure) chamber. While commonly used for DCS, it can also be used for a variety of other maladies, including flesh-eating bacteria.
My mother’s currently a patient at a wound care and hyperbaric medicine clinic. I now know way more that I care to about wounds. No mention of maggots yet though.
Hope your mom will be OK.
When my mom was a visiting nurse as a young, new RN, she had to change a bandage on a man’s leg wound that was moving w/ maggots…eww. I don’t know if they were there therapeutically or if he just wasn’t caring well for the wound. They do supposedly only eat dead tissue.
My grandpa (Mom’s adoptive dad) was hit in the ear with a snowball as a young boy & it shattered his eardrum. At some point a fly laid eggs in his ear canal & a doctor said that it saved his life as the wound was decaying & had almost entered his brain tissue, like a quarter inch away. This was around 1910. So he was deaf in one ear but lived well into his 80’s because of those maggots (& of course God’s mercy) apparently…
Thanks Valerie. It’s looking like she’s going to need surgery. It’s a surgical scar from brain surgery that has opened up. Surgery was 2 years ago so odd that this is happening but it’s so deep it’s to her skull. Am told it’s very hard to get tissue regrowth at the bone level.
Trying different medications – the current one is called BlastX teehee. Will see tomorrow if we’ve made any progress.
I’ll ask about the flies. lol. Seriously though I am over it all. Every week I sit there watching them cleaning and cutting and measuring. Then the same info. is discussed. The waiting room is depressing with all manner of people dragging themselves in for their wounds. Sometimes their are people who have been transported from rehab laying in beds waiting their turn. Gaaaaaaaaaaa I’ll stop now.
oh holly…gees!
I will keep you and your mom in my prayers!
Thanks pat. It’s all getting to be too much. I have caregiver’s burnout.

That’s a long long time. I remember our discussions about maybe getting daily help but even that was stressful. Would they be nice, would my father be nice…we decided not to because it seemed like we’d be be watching over the caregivers too!
Truly I hope some unexpected good healing thing happens instead of the endless next treatment decision
Thank you. It’s like you want it to end but then it ends and you don’t want that. So we just keep going and try to appreciate what we have. Some days are better than others. I’m trying to laugh more. About anything. Even wounds. 😄
Laughter IS the best medicine!
One day at a time or even just getting through the next moment is possible. You can do All Things through Christ Who gives You (His) Strength. God be with you…
Do your best to take care of yourself while you also help your mom. It’s so hard to keep things in balance (I’m still Quite out of whack from almost 3 decades of special needs parenting) but God can give you (both) the strength & grace to endure & even overcome so much!
May the Lord Bless & Keep YOU in His Perfect Peace, Precious Sister 😇
Many thanks Valerie. I appreciate all the support and kindness from everyone here.
YW Holly. I think that there are quite a few seasoned burden bearers & caregivers in the ranks here 🙂 Please keep us posted on developments with your mom & as you research possible cures bring your thoughts here too for there are probably a number of people w/ helpful knowledge to refine some of the “best” approaches. God Bless YOU in this ongoing complicated journey ❤
Oh my that sounds like a serious ordeal. Sorry you are both going through that!
Gail mentioned about a bad injury to one of her horses that she was able to heal with aloe & something else. I think the injury was large & to the bone & eventually healed up w/out some type of undesirable tissue growing as what would happen w/ the vet treatment, iirc.
I hope she might reply to you with what worked for her animal that Might give clues about what could Possibly help your mom.
My dad had to have cadaver bone to help fortify his jawbone before a dental implant. I think that cadaver skin is sometimes used for burn patients, to aid in the healing process. I wonder if that could be a potential viable option?
My son had a skin graft from his leg to cover the tip of his finger that was sheared off in a weightlifting accident. My husband often uses super glue to close wounds & it lasts a couple days, even allowing him to play his bass in concerts w/ injured fingers, fwiw…
I think the GC comment you mention was about that stuff from some kind of succulent called aloe.
Since I read it I’ve been using it on a several years old scar on the bony part of my nose that never healed properly. using aloe vera gel regularly has made a noticeable improvement.
That is great news! I thought Gail used aloe and some type of Native American plant concoction too but I’m not sure…
We’re trying to avoid surgery that involves anesthesia because of her age and other cognitive issues. There’s no good answer at this point.
The issue is also, I’m told, that if the skull bone becomes infected that portion needs to come out and be replaced with plastic or mesh.
Appreciate the information Valerie.
That’s so weighty. I’m truly sorry you’re facing these manifest challenges. Being caught in the medical whirlpool can be so incredibly draining…I hope your mom is not in much pain as this continues… 🙏 🙏 🙏
Medical Whirlpool. A perfect description Valerie! I’m going to use that. 😄
Whoo Hoo!

I’m so sorry to hear of what’s going on with your mother. Sending much Good Energy and Deep Healing to her, and much Good Energy and Strength to you, along with prayers and best wishes for both of you.
Thank You PAVACA. Much appreciated.
Just read these posts, holly. Will be in prayer for the Lord to help you and your mom, but especially for you to have strength and peace.
Thank you TradeBait from both my mother and myself. For the most part I’m a resilient soul, but have been faltering lately. Strength and peace are exactly what I need.
Sometimes it’s good to know you can have a mini pity party where unconditionally friends understand and support you. This is the place. Being the 24/7 caregiver is h a r d.
PS~ I don’t mean that you’re having a pity party but if you wanted to, this is a good place.
I can be such a crab or whine about what’s happening …so I always think others might feel that way too at times.
Yes! We don’t always say so but plenty of us Know!
God bless those maggots.
Oh my, but yes & Amen (to a thought I’d never had before) 😊
Holly may Christ the healer be with your family. I pray for healing .
My mother had most of her life an open leg. For her it was inherited.
Thank you singing. I never thought about wounds until now. Apparently there’s a lot involved when you are dealing with old skin.
I’m sorry about your mom’s health issues and your stress, and am praying for you both.
This might not be helpful or appropriate for her situation, but it came to mind so I decided to post it. I had heard of sugar helping wounds to heal. The following is from a quick search. I would think those who specialize in wound care would know about it and if and when to use it.
This is quite interesting. Thank you TheseTruths. The current medication she is using consists of a small bottle of liquid which a dab of is mixed with pinch of some powder and cost nearly $1,900. Insanity.
Perhaps the wound healing could be accomplished naturally. I will read through the links and see if I can put something together she would agree with. The first medication she used has Silver in it as an antimicrobial. Prisma AG.
Given Big Pharma infecting & controlling/hiding low cost &/or natural remedies it wouldn’t be a surprise to find that you Might be able to effect a better cure using things like Honey & Aloe…I Really Hope Gail weighs in w/ her particular insights & also Aubergine who knows so much about plants!
Yeah Gail had the animal that had some horrific wound. Wish she checks in soon.
You’re welcome. Best wishes to you.
Yes there is. My mother before she died the wound in her leg was closed. I used to joke with her telling her that she would die with her leg whole.
🙏 prayers for you and your mother, Holly. I too hope she will get better.

State of California proposes cutting Solano County water by an astounding 75%!!
CBS News: “Local leaders say California’s State Water Resources Control Board, in its Bay-Delta Plan, buried a proposal that would divert 75% of Solano County’s current water allocation from Lake Berryessa to the bay.
” ‘It’s an 8,000-page document, and if my staff had not read all 8,000 pages they would have missed it,” said Catherine Moy, Fairfield mayor and a Solano County Water Agency board member.
“Moy said that she cannot get a clear answer from the State Water Board about why they need 75% of Solano County’s water other than that it is to support projects protecting fish like salmon….”
“”We’ve spent $15 million on salmon habitat in Putah Creek which comes from Lake Berryessa. We can show we have salmon there that have never been there ever. We are making up for other areas that are killing salmon and still, they want to take 75% of our water? That’s cockamamie. That’s nuts,” Moy said….”
“Other local leaders like William Brazelton, president of the Solano County Farm Bureau, also feel left in the dark by the state.
“No one knew about this. No one expected it,” Brazelton said. “The manager for the Solano Irrigation District sent out a letter basically blowing the whistle on all this. ”
https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/solano-county-water-war/
So, this would cut Solano County farming by 90% or more? And the County couldn’t grow – cities, population – without water!
Is this a purposeful Machiavellian move to freak out local leaders with a proposed unconscionable cut, so that they’ll then happily swallow a 20% or 30% reduction? All in a growing County, with two wet years, the states 7th-largest New Reservoir planned – Sites Reservoir – queued up, and Billions in water bonds unspent.
Cali folks must love being masochists.
Maybe those that don’t want out….
Exit signs are clearly marked. Roads open. Traffic flows freely.
Status quo will not hold. NOTHING will get better in CA. NOTHING.
Dehydrate me more, Daddy.
That has just enough of a nastiness aura to make me smile.
Thank you, Pgroup! I’ve not been known for my nastiness aura but these times seem to call for it.
👍🤣 Excellent!
Thank you, TB! It is clear we do not mock and laugh at California government nearly enough.
Directing 75% of Solano water to the Bay.
100%, that IS an attack on the US food supply.
agreed–AND they used their oldest trick in the book–burying it deep in an 8,000 page bill.
This war has been ongoing since the days of pioneers. Eventually, Bill Mulholland figured out how to steal enough water for Los Angeles. Chinatown was based on the water war.

Some points regarding the overnight Iranian missile attack on Israel:
1. Contrary to what pundits are saying, this wasn’t designed merely as “bells and whistles” with no damage. When you shoot 350 flying objects timed to hit Israel at the same moment, when you use three fundamentally different weapon types—cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and UAVs, you’re looking to penetrate Israel’s defenses and kill Israelis.
2. The US administration is telling us: “This is a victory, you’ve already won by thwarting the missiles. No need for any further action.” No, it’s NOT a victory. Yes, it’s a remarkable success of Israel’s air defense systems, but it’s not a victory. When a bully tries to hit you 350 times and only succeeds seven time, you’ve NOT won. You don’t win wars just by intercepting your enemy’s hits, nor do you deter it. Your enemy will just try harder with more and better weapons and methods next time. How DO you deter? By exacting a deeply painful price.
3. It’s incorrect to say “nobody got hurt”. There’s a 7 year-old Israeli-Arab girl called Amina Elhasuny fighting for her life. That’s who coward Khamenei hit.
4. The Islamic Republic of Iran made a big mistake. For the past 30 years it’s been wreaking havoc on the region—through its proxies. A terror-octopus whose head is Tehran, and its tentacles are in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza. How convenient. The Mullahs send others to conduct horrendous terror attacks, and die for them. Other people’s blood. Israel’s strategic mistake for the past 30 years was to play along this strategy. We always fought the Octopus’ arms, but hardly exacted a price from its Iranian head. This should change now: Hezbollah or Hamas shoots a rocket at Israel? Tehran pays a price.
5. The enemy is the Iranian REGIME, not the wonderful Iranian people. The Iranian regime reminds me of the Soviet regime in 1985: corrupt to the core, old, incompetent, despised by its own people, and destined to collapse. The sooner the better. The West can accelerate the regime’s inevitable collapse with a set of soft and clever actions, short of military force. Remember, USSR collapsed without any need for a direct American attack. Let’s do this.
6. Israel is fighting everybody’s war. In Gaza, Lebanon and Tehran. We’re considered “the small satan” by radical Islam. America is the big one. I’ll be clear: if these crazy fanatic Islamic terrorists get away with murder by hiding among civilians, this method will be adopted by terrorists worldwide. We’re not asking anyone to fight for us. We’ll do the job. But we do expect our allies to have our back, especially when it’s tough—and now it’s tough. Be on the right side and help us defeat these horrible and savage regimes.
We have known what the regime was since 1979. We should have dealt with them in the many years since.
agreed. but there isn’t a final goal in mind. mostly the MIC and our gov’t WANTS endless wars. it’s how they profit and retain power.
Iran is merely waiting for the right moment. This month, year or whenever.
Iran has the capability to, Rinse AND Repeat, on a grand scale.
Israel and the US cannot rise to meet that threat level.
If the head of the snake, Iran, is not removed, all hell will break loose on Iran’s schedule.
AND, Iran’s proxies living next to Israel will engage when Iran orders them to do so.
This is for 100 Comments…I don’t know how to add the numbers…
i apologize for not knowing, but there are so many theories, opinions. is this guy reliable?
Pretty sure this or a very similar report surfaced a few days after Dali.
CCP may have such a technology. Wolf and likely others believe CCP is prime suspect. Quite possibly so.
Betting Russia has the technology, perhaps other countries as well.
Slow Guy figures Russia guilty as a partial payback for Nordstream and dozens of other reasons. NOT justifying this, if Russia is guilty party.
What I 100% believe, then and now, Dali taking out FSK bridge was
a terrorists Attackan Act of War.Although the tweet is fresh, the tweet guy trusted as far as I know, the information is old. Nothing new here. But we have had three more instances, most recent the 26 barges breaking loose, the NY Harbor incident with a large freighter ship losing power and needed tugs to stop it from drifting into another bridge, and then the ship on the skinny river in Oklahoma hitting a bridge.
No Coincidences.
Broad based attacks on America, American way of life. IMO.
Dovetails nicely, although in an evil way, stuff we’ve witnessed over the past several years. Attacks of livestock (cows, pigs, chickens), food processing, storage…
para59r
IMO, this is correct — CCP doing “remote control demolition” tactics. The possibility that the 26 barges disaster in Pittsburgh is part of this is very real. CCP reminding “President Biden and handlers” who is really in charge.
It was a Barge on the Arkansas River. Not too “skinny” as the Arkansas river is the 6th largest in the US.

BREAKING: Another Mass Stabbing in Sydney as Attacker Targets Bishop and Multiple Worshippers in Good Shepherd Church (SHOCK VIDEO)

Proposed change… lets see how it works. 😁
BREAKING: Another Mass Stabbing in Sydney as Male Model Targets Bishop and Multiple Worshippers in Good Shepherd Church (SHOCK VIDEO)
(Reported here as being against the current Globo way of thinking…)
“In Sydney, a bishop was attacked with a knife during a church service. Details are still unknown, the condition of the victim has not been specified.
The injured bishop is a fairly well-known blogger in Australia who criticized quarantine and vaccinations during the pandemic.”
https://t.me/intelslava/57664
*******************************
“People tried to lynch a Pakistani terrorist who attacked a priest in Sydney. According to media reports, his fingers were cut off.
The bishop turned out to be the based leader of an ultra-conservative movement opposing LGBTQ people and the liberal policies of the authorities.”
https://t.me/intelslava/57668
Of course, this begs the question, why are there any Pakistanis in Australia — or any other Western nation?
Is the inverse true?
Are there lots of Aussies wandering around Islamabad, attacking mullahs?
Great news. He won’t be able to pick his nose or flip anybody off. Ever again.
Where are the knife control laws?
Can’t anybody stop this out of control knife violence?
Why haven’t knives been outlawed?
And scissors, don’t forget about scissors.
And box cutters.
And razor blades.
Well, the scissors have to go first so that we can’t run with them.

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.

I always suspected!
Somehow, I get the feeling that any female who pointed a gun at you would have also pulled the trigger. Yes, that’s right — your logic would push any emotionally fragile female over the edge.
Denying her the right to be irrationally angry is a death penalty offense.
😂 [calm down girls; I’m just funnin’]
“Somehow, I get the feeling that any female who pointed a gun at you would have also pulled the trigger.”

Probably.
But chances are, she’d have missed, when I pulled the Keanu Reeves ‘Matrix’ moves 😂
That I would almost pay to see!
