MARK 9:41-50
41For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward. 42“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea. 43And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. 45And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. 47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, 48where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. 49For every one will be salted with fire. 50Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its saltness, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

The above URL only gives me a comment; not OMG’s post.
However, there’s this URL to the rescue.

WordPiss is now refusing to load tweets again. 🙄
We’re going to see regional outages to Twitter as the election approaches. They will be just long enough to do the job – not long enough to be attributable to the actors. WP isn’t the culprit on this.
Maybe it is; maybe it’s part of the means of blockage. (Though it’d be more efficient to do it closer to the source.)
I’m finding a complete correlation between problems loading Twitter / X pages directly, and problems loading tweets into WP pages. So basically I can remove the WP layer and the problem is still there.
That said, WordPress has had moments of significant Twitter-unfriendliness in the past, and I would not be surprised if it happened again before the election!!!
“I’m finding a complete correlation between problems loading Twitter / X pages directly, and problems loading tweets into WP pages. So basically I can remove the WP layer and the problem is still there.”
Didn’t realize that, and that clarifies it.
Cute trick, wolfie.

Citizen Free Press:
Comey sounds rattled.
He’s cheerleading STEAL NUMBER TWO, coming this November.
I know there are overwhelming numbers, yet how else can the steal be stopped?
It has to be made very clear to the people behind the steal, that the price of another steal is far beyond what they would bear by simply letting Trump win and letting him fix all the crap.
Comey is very self-serving here. He did wrong and he knows it. His lawfare HARMED this nation.
Yet, if Trump wins, the likelihood of Comey actually going to jail is less than MY chances of going to jail. The reality is that Trump just wants to fix things, where progressives rely on far too much breaking of things. But the simple risk of getting called out as a bad boy for his destructive lawfare is more than that asshole Comey can bear. It’s ridiculous. He’s a narcissist SQUARED.
What Comey and his ilk are doing is driving this nation into actual civil conflict – most likely because he fears losing his pension.
Absurd! A civil war over a fucking pension? WARS in Ukraine and Israel (the cost of Steal Number One) over a fucking pension?
SAD.
I felt that it was a mistake to go after McCabe’s pension, and I still do. The way to get these ASSHOLES who are wrecking the nation’s drama OFF the stage, is for them to realize that they’re better off getting off the stage. We see this in Obama’s tactic of having his minions resign to avoid accountability. They grab their bag of coins and GO – and that is what needs to happen here. The assholes leave, knowing they will live well under a Trump economy.
We need to remove the “incentive” that the asshoes are using to motivate their fellow government workers to remain in their plots and schemes, which is to argue that they will be fired AND lose their pensions.
The Q folks had it right, IMO, in saying that there were too many layers of minions and go-alongers for everybody to get justice.
The real point is getting troublemakers OFF THE STAGE and FIXING SHIT.
I want to make it very clear, however, that if these ASSHOLES drive us into real, physical, civil conflict, then I’m through with their asses, and will CHEER for them to approach the gallows when it’s over.
LET TRUMP FIX YOUR MESS, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!!!
but letting them take their $$ and go also means they can return if the winds shift any time in the future.
an example needs to be made OR this will happen again. perhaps with all the soying and destruction of “toxic masculinity” that’s part of the plan. run, hide, and live to see another opportunity when the resistance has been weakened.
We have to use TIME to our advantage.
The idea is that the criminals go off and retire and DIE PEACEFULLY (i.e, they can’t come back), while Trump fixes the government so that they don’t / can’t come back, or arise in place.
For a WHILE, but we realize it can only be FOR A WHILE, just like the Founders realized.
The reality is that things are cyclic, and yeah, things will go bad again in the future. But do we get out of this turning WITH or WITHOUT a civil war?
Horrible war in a “civilized” country is very real to me, because of my mother’s recounting of the destruction of Germany. Ukraine right now is a warning of what will happen here if there is a civil war. China wants it. Russia wants it. It’s not a good option, IMO.
The idea is to make government less fertile for the corruption and crap, by a means other than “we have to scare the fuck out of these people with the fear that they will go in front of a firing squad.” Because they are just itching to throw You and Me in front of firing squads, and THEY are in charge now.
We are in a rather dicey situation.
To me, if they steal it again, I’m good with civil war. I hate to say that, but it’s true. I don’t care how they “exit” at that stage. And things will fall apart if they steal it again.
Another option is, don’t put any kind of price on their head, and don’t do any sort of pursuit…but also don’t forbid anyone to take care of matters themselves.
That would, however, likely be legally “ugly.”
Yes – very ugly. That is the “North Mexico” future these bastards and bitches are pushing us into.
Obama is the linchpin. He was is behind destroying the USA. Bush one and two are CIA stooges so in Clinton and Obama.
Where it goes from there I am not sure. To many players big players. The little fish who we see are decoys . Voicing just my instincts.
I am fairly sure the real control of the USA is based in Europe.
It looks like Switzerland IS NOT PART OF THE EU!!!
SEE:
RELATIONS WITH THE EUThe European Union and Switzerland
Delegation of the European Union to Switzerland and Liechtenstein

From brave AI
Switzerland is a popular destination for immigrants, with a diverse population and a strong economy. Here are some key facts and statistics about immigration to Switzerland:
Demographics

Immigration Requirements
Immigration Process
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So they are NOT overrun with ‘Diversity’
Agreed. It’s a VERY slick diversion. It looks like the US is running things, and is the rampaging bull in the china shop, but that bull is doing exactly and only what the Euro-Globos want it to do.
Switzerland is highly suspect. The true winner of all world wars.
But the great thing is that WHO is really behind it all, doesn’t matter. It may not ultimately be Euros. It could be gay/pedo off-world humans, running the clueless colony planet through local minions. It could be satanists that go back thousands of years. It could be some giant AI. Whoever. Doesn’t matter. Washington is a puppet of somebody.
“…Washington is a puppet of somebody.”
THAT has been my conclusion for years.
If what we think has been happening to ‘create’ RINOs which is $$$$, being paid to stand down and vote Dem, it’s money that gives the plotters and enemies the security to continue on with their plans. Time and money..it’s like being given a bonus vacation to regroup.
They didn’t spend decades molding anarchists in the public school system, mentally confused gender people that now includes every un-imaginable perversion and not to forget millions of foreigners brought here, purpose unknown.
As long as the DEMS are in power, they use that power to send taxpayer money to their minions.
If Trump gets in, he can shut it off – and THAT is the source of a lot of the crying from the Dems.
pigs will always find other troughs to eat from though.
China will feed them. Just like the 90s.
maybe that’s why traitors should be hung..just sayin
I agree but It also seems that the minions..the warped citizens, the unpatriotic military. the illegals….those are the ones steeped in the ideology of marxism. That kind of belief set won’t really go away with money cut off. The DemComs have made the perverted ones dependent on drugs paid for by govt, the illegals are definitely funded…I’m really hopeful that things can be turned around …a lot of it is financed by the Schwabs and Soros types so they also need to be chopped off at the knees
It’s going to take a miracle to avoid a civil war, IMO. But I believe in the Prince of Peace, and it is within His power to change hearts and minds – even of his enemies!
Be watching for a future story. Biblical example incoming fairly soon.
Pharaoh’s heart was in His hands!
Gates is another deranged player in the pig pen
YES. Was just thinking about him today.
FUTURE PROVES PAST on his opposition to Linux. It wasn’t just about the money. It was about CONTROL.
Amen
Essentially pay them to go away, and leave it to God to mete out punishment in the next life?
That’s not going to go over well with the American mindset.
IMO Trump has been trying to thread the needle on educating people on this whole subject. His statement that fixing things IS his revenge is the closest to the reality, IMO.
It does hit them where they live. If they can’t slake their thirst for power they won’t be happy at all.
However, it does leave them free to try again, and no matter what Trump does, there will be ways to work their way in and corrupt it again.
(In fact, we have to be wary even if we were to imprison or execute every one of them, because new control freaks and powermads are made all the time.)
Exactly. The supply of sinners and sins is endless, so to speak!
YES!!
If Trump gets in, nobody will believe whatever bullshit they try against him, like MUH RUSSIA. So Dodge and FIB get the cleaning they need – and the commies can’t have that. So they will go balls to the wall to stop Trump from getting in – and that exposes them to the possibility of total societal rejection.
Expect SPICY.
Yeah baby!
Comey fully knows his culpability.
“…. then there is almost nothing to do, short of tearing down and
rebuilding these corrupt orgsrazing to the ground the buildings where these orgs existed….”There fixed it.
90% of the post civil war federal government departments need to be RAZED and the duties RETURNED to the states as directed by the Constitution!
don’t forget to salt the earth too
LOL!!!
With DEMON-RAT TEARS!
We are in the same camp, Gail. You cannot and should not fix what has been corrupted and illegal/not authorized to exist.
As a farmer you know. Anybody who has any understanding of life cycles people, agriculture, business, government, etc. already knows this. We do not need minions in the existing carcass of what might have been America trying to fix things that are spoiled, dying or already dead. Birth, growth, maturity, decline, death. Keeping illegal/unauthorized federal entities alive through life support and for criminal intentions is destroying this nation.
The whole thing is corrupted, rotten. You destroy, terminate, vacate, whatever, the illegal/unauthorized/criminal entities of federal government. There are no claims to be honored to fix or restore unless they are legally authorized.
America as it has become has to die and be reseeded into fertile ground in accordance with the Constitution. Even patriots need to wake up. Not in it – its gotta go along with all of the jobs, properties, contracts , etc. Use the money spent on foreign aid to give a soft landing to those impacted by job loss. Property sales go to retire debt. The states return to being what they were when the Constitution was adopted.
SCOTUS decisions do not override what is in that document. No more activist court decisions. No more Roe v. Wade, commerce clause finagling, Bammycare creation, creating protected classes on people on the federal level, etc.
States rights and federal limitations have to be honored per law. We have never really got this right since the events around the War of 1812.
Rant over.
That sounds nice. If it can be accomplished without a civil war, even better.
Sounds like what Javier Milei of Argentina has been doing.
OMG, if we could just do that here!
Enjoyable rant over.
FIFY. 🙂
👍 😀
I suppose all good things must come to an end.
THIS!
Then, Gail, you are asking for ARTILLERY DUELS in Washington DC. I cannot see those buildings coming down any other way.
Not that I cannot live with that option, mind you. China and Russia rubbing their hands at the possibility, yes. BRICS would have several decades of further rise to power during that time. Also not bad for the world, frankly.
Because IMO artillery is the only way those buildings get razed to the ground. Either that or the Russians or Chinese nuke them, which would be deserved karma, but still.
I would still like to see this solved peacefully. But now, thanks to what these assholes are doing to Trump, I can live with the failure of the peaceful option.
Interesting times. Sadly.
didn’t take much to bring down the towers though
Back off and look at what that did to America and the world!
Yeah, it was two towers, designed to change the course of history, by THE BLOB.
And it was not
justthose planes, IMO. It took a lot of work to load those buildings with explosives and blame it on (in essence) “The Middle East” so we could change the course of history and send trillions of dollars of money there.i agree it was the explosives…but you don’t think explosive would work with other buildings to raze them similarly?
i don’t know much about explosives so it’s really just a hypothetical question
Explosives placed in an engineering manner can easily bring down these buildings, but who’s going to place them? A self-inflicted job like 9/11 can do it on the sly, but otherwise, it will take an army to subdue the city and then the organizations and the buildings (and would probably occupy them and use them as HQ for years) before destroying them, if at all. The buildings would probably be used for something else.
I have a better solution. Re-purpose them into VETERANS HOMES. Trump is a builder he knows how.
Re-purpose is the answer.
Rotten organizations need to be defunded AND employees go away. Get a real job. Or, even code.
Medical or software?
Software.
And what did software do to you, that you would inflict these turds upon it?
LOL!!!
I don’t trust those bastards to take out the trash – much less code without creating back doors and flaws to let CHINA in.
It bugs me that the proposal for a new FIB HQ is already in the works.
Razing the building would have a symbolic meaning to those that believe they’ve lost the plot and mission. It’s unholy ground to me…as is most of Washington DC. It’s dirty and foul
I hate the fact that they got new digs in return for treason. I hear you.
Realistically, a patriotic director and FBI reform, after a massive (Clinton-level) clean-out of DOJ, seems like a superior and achievable solution.
I mean, it’s fun to talk about these “ultimate solutions”, but realistically, options are limited, and half of them involve war and other unpalatable solutions.
It may actually come to that, sadly, and once it does, FUCK THE COMMIES is all I can say.
My mother’s tale of what she saw inside a church bombed by the allies during a midnight wedding service was quite sobering. At least the bride and groom died together. So did everybody else. Nearly 200 bodies.
The communists are itching for a war. They don’t care how many die – particularly on their own side. They killed their own Jabbies without a blink – they’ll kill us even easier.
Like I said, interesting times.
In my heart I think you’re right. They welcome a war and China would love to assist. No matter our zeal and commitment to our ideals I think we’d be outgunned.
The days of loyal guerilla fighters taking out regiments from behind trees and across swamps has gone.
Their infrastructure has to be neutralized
guerilla wars absolutely depend on a source of money and supplies.
They can still succeed in this day and age, provided that condition is met.
I doubt anyone would assist in this hypothetical case.
We need a de Nazi fication.
Seems like USG is itching for a war.
OR, I missed something. Again.
They’re itching for war with anybody, it seems, including IN PARTICULAR the Americans they don’t like.
January Sixth was a brush with death that American patriots just barely survived. It was meant to finish us off – so that patriots would either side with the commie USG, or die / go to prison opposing it.
We were all meant to get WACOed.
We came incredibly close to being turned into the “Enemy of the People”, and hunted like rats.
Sadly yes.
Patriots have bullseyes on them.
Courtesy of DOJ, FIB, HLS, IRS, ATF…
Loosen that tin foil hat a bit, brother.
Too late for that! 😉
Or in many cases not done at all; in fact I could argue should be listed as things no government may do.
I am ALL for the not done at all.
Why on earth do beauticians and barbers need a fricking license? And why do people who do nothing but braid hair need that license?
Just one example.
Why do people who have goats and sheep and bunnys for kids to pet need a FRICKING USDA INSPECTION OF THEIR PREMISES?
Many many many examples.
I could at least see a basic health inspection for your situation (though there’s no reason it couldn’t work more like Underwriter’s Laboratory than some twit from the government coming over), just because of the exposure…but WTF does USDA need to be doing it for?
Believe me the insurance companies take care of any problems.
We just filled out the forms for a new insurance.
Bingo.
Spent most of the day at Ft. Pierce federal courthouse to cover two hearings in classified docs case.
Special Counsel team’s frustration with Judge Aileen Cannon is really evident.
And it’s glorious.
David Harbach, one of Smith’s lead prosecutors and usually a cool customer in court, had a series of mini temper tantrums this morning. At times pounding his fist on the podium and clapping his hands in anger to emphasize a point, Harbach was totally unprofessional, demeaning, and petulant.
Cannon asked Harbach to “calm down” during one diatribe about accusations DOJ threatened one of the defense attorneys to get his client to flip on Donald Trump.
He kept trying to argue with her–Cannon also remains measured most of the time and is no fan of antics–and when she asked him a question about an issue, he shot back “that’s not the right question.”
A few reporters in the media room even gasped.
Harbach is flailing bc his case is imploding.
DOJ never thought their dirty, sloppy, corrupt tricks would see the light of day. Biden regime never thought information such as the FBI’s operations order related to MAL raid that included lethal force guidance would ever be made public.
But Cannon is systematically dismantling this case by holding hearings (like today) and ordering the unsealing of key motions and evidence. She is a one-woman wrecking crew and Smith’s team knows there is very little they can do about it.
And she is nowhere near finished. Just this week, in addition to the unsealed motions posted yesterday that revealed details about the MAL raid, Cannon ordered the unsealing of several motions filed earlier in the case.
I’m working on a Substack post for the weekend on the nature of the motions today and the proceedings–but suffice to say Jack Smith’s team already appears deflated and defeated.
Yes! Good News!
I think that’s Juicy Smollett in the front of the line on the right, but who is behind him? Is that Harvey Weinstein?
I think so! That’s my best guess.

I flew Spirit once.
One of the features is, that you might find a big sticker on your seatback tray that says you’ve won a free flight. I did see that sticker on my tray–it was badly worn and nearly illegible, so I didn’t even start to read it. I only realized what it was when everyone was cheering me while I had my headphones on, and someone prodded me to get my attention. They had announced my seat number as the winner.
I knew I wouldn’t be flying again at all soon and it had an expiration date, so I didn’t even bother collecting it.

Yours Truly: There are emails that Morens sends to Peter Daszak that ask for a kickback for what Morens is doing to promote Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance in getting NIAID funding for Gain-of-Function research.
And, Ralph Baric is mixed up in this entire situation up to his eyeballs and beyond.

As Yours Truly posted this week, there is NO WAY that Anthony Fauci did NOT know Ralph Baric. Fauci (via, first, NIH, then, through NIAID) funded Baric’s work on coronaviruses FROM 1984 until Fauci retired in 2022. AND, NIH / NIAID is STILL funding Baric’s work on coronaviruses NOW.
Teachers Union Boots School Counselor Who Questioned Trans Policies: REPORT
https://dailycaller.com/2024/05/19/teachers-union-boots-counselor-questioned-trans-policies-minnesota-rochester/
Just saying… there were never any elementary school councilors back in the day. The only objective for a student was you need to finish grade school and go to jr high, where to the best of my knowledge there were no jr high school councilors cause the objective was you need to finish jr high and go to high school where they actually did have school councilors but I’m pretty sure I only ever met with them once a year if that.
We had counselors in public school junior high. Worst two years of my life.
Yup,
Had a councilor discuss what type of jobs you were interested in after high school, what your strengths and weaknesses were and how that fit into your future employment/ advanced study options.
That was pretty much all I ever used mine for. They took one look at my scores and said I could do anything in the US (which turned out not to be true; some schools rejected me). I guess that qualifier was in there in case I was thinking of Oxford or Cambridge.
My oldest son’s counselor told him he would make a good secretary . He is now a physician. They are more wrong than right. Ito.d my kids they can be anything they want too because this is America. I was the best counselor for them. 😜
It does depend on the counselor. And maybe his scores weren’t that good in high school (you tell me).
On the downside at the same school, one of the other counselors would carefully wait for some girls’ 18th birthdays and then proposition them. And I know sometimes he was successful.
Fringe benefits.
cringe benefits 🙁
I did have counselors at my junior high. And high school. In fact in high school there was a “homeroom” class (at least for incoming sophomores–this was a three year high school because we had junior highs then) and it was “taught” by my counselor (they were assigned alphabetically). No assignments, just a way to help us get oriented. I think it stopped meeting after a few months.
I think she was fired for being too good looking, next to the unappealing leftists.
They really hate beautiful things, whether living or not.
That was my first thought on seeing her picture.
She absolutely doesn’t fit in. She not a heifer.
You are insulting heifers!
At least you can see her (this cow’s) hips!
Name that band.
That ain’t cheap.
So, I installed a timed light switch in the pantry. I’ve probably turned off the pantry light over 200 times in the past year, and its paltry 60-watt incandescent uses more juice than all five of the 6.5W can lights in the main kitchen. I typically discover it when I’m shutting down the place around midnight, while the Fiancee has been asleep since eight, and she probably turned it on when she got home before five (or it’s been on all day because she used it in the morning).
I had to borrow the Fiancee yesterday because the breakers on the main board were mislabeled and the pantry wasn’t on “14A – 20A — Lights — family, laundry, pantry”. Instead, the pantry was on “14B – 20A — Lights — master”.
Today, I flipped off the breaker and started taking it apart. Everything was going swimmingly — I even found a faceplate for the new widget — until I started reconnecting wires. The thing was supplied with orange wire nuts, which are good for little teensy wires, like 18 gauge or something. When this box was wired, it was wired with solid, manly Romex where you have to put some arm on the wire to bend it. You could insert maybe one wire into the metal part of the orange wire nut and if you got an electrical connection after that it was sheer luck.
Now, I have a bin or two of wire nuts in the garage someplace, but (as usual) things got stirred around and anything useful got buried. I looked for them for an hour, then went to Home Depot.
Once I got the right-sized (larger) wire nuts, and trimmed the wires properly, and screwed ’em on and tugged ’em, I could feel confident that they were done right and wouldn’t fail and/or arc. I vacuumed the drywall crud out of the box on general principles. Then, as mentioned, the wires were quite stiff, so I used the neck of an empty wine bottle to shove ’em to the back of the box and did a pretty installation of the switch and face plate.
I’m please at how it went and how it looks now.
The satisfaction of a job well done…

You shouldn’t be doing improvements on a house you’re going to sell. That switch adds nothing to the value of the house.
Also, you may have outsmarted yourself. What kind of hell will occur when your beloved is in the timered room and the light goes out, leaving her in the dark?
Happy nightmare.
It’s a pantry. A glorified closet. It shouldn’t be lit more than 10 minutes at a time, no matter what kind of light is in there. That it burns more juice than the actual kitchen, which maybe should be lit for hours, is just additional frustration.
The cost of the timer switch was about $35 — or about three LED Lights, if I wanted to leave it on 24/7.
The Fiancee is not going to be caught inside in the dark — it’s only about 42 inches deep, and there’s no room to stand upright inside the doors.
You just wanted to dabble with electric currents. Once you get that out of your system, you might want to save time and money with some of these… 😁
AUVON Night Light Plug in with Motion Sensor (120 Lumens), Dimmable Smart LED Night Lights, 1-120lm Brightness, for Bathroom, Hallway, Garage, Toilet (4 Pack) Turns off after 90 secs onless motion is detected. Cost $26 for 4 and pennies a day to run if that.
or if no wall out let.
What is it with LED? Those are worse than fluorescents.
Of course, I have a visual perception disorder, so incandescent lighting is all I can have other than natural light. And that has to be mostly indirect.
Of course we can upgrade. Personally I prefer no light and just rely on knowing where I put stuff. But that’s not been working as well as it once did but a tinge of light normally gets me by.
For most people the LEDs work well. And you can set the color temperature. Incandescents don’t provide a truly white light (because they aren’t as hot as the Sun), and I never cared for that dingy yellow. When I switched to LEDs I mostly got ones with a daylight color temperature. (I was doing this early enough that selection could be limited and I was having to grab what were then “cheapies” because the expensive ones were over $10 each.)
I had three lights in the kitchen, from the same lot, all blow out within a year of each other; I’ve had others (totally different brands) fail too. So they don’t last as long as claimed, but it’s still a fairly rare event to have one blow out. On the other hand, everything could have blown because they were cheap crap. I am pretty sure that’s what happened with that kitchen trio–I think those were the very first LEDs I bought.
In your case, you seem to have a condition that precludes their use, and it must absolutely suck trying to find the new incandescents.
I stockpiled light bulbs before they were banned. They are available online. Many of us with this – technically, it’s a learning disability – issue use work light bulbs with wattage that isn’t banned.
LEDs give me a migraine. Fluorescents put me to sleep. I get nauseas, cramps in my eyelids, and more. I scored off the chart when I was originally screened.
How do you deal with computer screens?
IMO, #6 birdshot works well.
One shot and they give up.
If I have to, I will adjust the brightness. Computer screens don’t bother me. Almost all artificial light does.
The ones we tried the glue did not work passed a month.
I see [but not in the dark]. 😂
I used to see very well in the dark… with my carbide caving lamp. 😋
It’s cheating to repel the dark like that.
Spoil sport!

Manly Romex–sounds like 12 gauge, which is what you typically want on a 20A circuit. I did almost all of my house in that. The one spot where I went lower (the smoke detector circuit, which didn’t need more than 5A but I gave it 15) took 14 ga, and…wow I was amazed at how much easier that was to work with. You wouldn’t think that would have made that big a difference.
Your labeling woes reminded me. Electricians will typically put both sides of the same wall on one circuit, which makes sense (putting the two sides on two different circuits means two sets of wires running in the wall) from an economic standpoint…but unless great care is taken with labeling, drives one batshit crazy trying to figure out which breaker works what. As you know now (and likely knew before).
I actually bit the bullet on the expense. One breaker, one room. No BS. (Some rooms have multiple circuits, but (except in the case of the smoke detectors), no circuit covers more than one room. SO much easier to figure out which breaker to flip.
My house is about 1900 sq ft. The original 1955 version was more like 1350. I dropped a subpanel entirely for the kitchen remodel and had to upgrade the main panel to do so, so there’s a convoluted mess of circuits. In addition, I documented it before the new panel and figured they’d have the same circuits in the same place……………..HAH!
If you’re a developer, you use more of the 14 ga than the 12 ga. If you’re a homeowner, you run everything as 12 ga and nothing at 14 — and that makes all the wires stiff and balky.
When I was in college, my dorm was wired with + hot in one wall and – hot in my neighbor’s — and the wall boxes fed through. This allowed the maintenance staff to run 220V in my room at one point, and they had to pay to repair my stereo.
That sounds sort of like the way they mandate kitchens be wired. Every other outlet comes off one tap, the others come from the other tap. That does mean that adjacent devices have a 240V difference between them, so whatever you do, don’t stick a knife into two outlets simultaneously. But the real reason to do this was to load-balance between appliances, and you also are required to have an outlet every four feet. (Which is why blenders, etc. have such stupid short power cables now.)
One thing I did do that most will not, is for circuits that require a GFCI, I installed a GFCI outlet in every plug…I did NOT control the whole circuit off one GFCI. The one exception was a box that had four plugs. The GFCI on the left controls the outlet on the right; it’s right there in front of you.
I did this because in a prior house, one of the bathrooms was controlled by a GFCI at the other end of the house in the garage. One day the bathroom lights went dead, and it wasn’t the breaker, so I figured something had broken the line. I didn’t bother with it (no desire to go into the attic and deal with whatever intruder I had). For several weeks I just used the other bathroom, and later on realized that my garage outlet had tripped. I reset it and lo and behold accidentally discovered a few days later I had light in the bathroom again.
What idiot wired that house? A GFCI in the garage, taking down a bathroom at the other end of the house? Who would think to check that?
Can’t recall all the details.
Like situation with the home we just vacated.
GFCI tripped, no power with some receptacles. Nearby GFCI OK. Tripped and rest it anyway, a few times. Circuit breakers OK.
Ultimately, it was a GFCI in the garage. No water anywhere close by. Oh well.
I just wish we HAD a light in the pantry. I have to use a flashlight!
We tried one of the stick-em battery operated but they fall off after a few months.
Where’s your old caving headlamp? 😀😘😘
I have it but carbide is hard to come by AND IT STINKS!
Well, you won’t smell it if you catch covid. Or so they say.
I have recovered although I no longer can differentiate between types of black teas.
There are some that mount with screws.
I will have to look for them. I want to add additional shelving So that can be part of the project.
What, no automatic switches so that the light gets turned off after ten minutes?
That’s what the timed switch is for.
Oddly enough, it’s cheaper to get an electronic timer switch than a mechanical one these days. This one has settings for 10, 20, 30, and 60 minutes because I couldn’t find one that was just 10 — but, even so, it’s better than having me manually turn it off after four-fourteen hours.
Coothie, We need you at our house! One breaker trips at the oddest times … been replaced, and indoor/outdoor repeatedly tested by two electricians who swear ‘there’s no problem’ 🤷♀️
And how do you know that bulb uses more juice than the others??
I’m impressed 😁 And, like DPat, I need incandescent … flourescent & LED set my teeth on edge!!
A breaker trips when there is too much current going from the black wire to the white wire or to the green or bare wire. An intermittent connection between the two is BAD NEWS. First thing to do is identify all lights and plugs that are on that circuit and make a reasonable guess where the wire goes between them and back to the breaker box.
The way modern wiring (Romex) works is that there is a big cable (typically yellow or white) that has three coated wires inside (black, white, and (green or bare)). It runs in the walls or ceilings between metal and plastic boxes. ALL CONNECTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN A BOX. Typically, each box has a faceplate and either a switch or a plug.
An intermittent short can be along the wire if something has pierced both the wrapper and the wire coating. This can be something like rodents gnawing or perhaps a screw to mount something to the wall, or a picture-hanging nail. Inspection of areas where the wires go is warranted, possibly with a contactless wiring detector. These may be quite pricey to fix but can burn your house down if not fixed.
Most shorts, however, will be at a connection. These can be subjected to various levels of inspection. For instance, is the plug or switch original to the house, or has it been modified (dimmers, timers, rocker switches, etc.)? Cut the power on the breaker and take the faceplate off…..are there scorch marks or odd smells? With the power still off, pull the switch or plug out of the box — are there loose wires? Are the wirenuts appropriately installed? Is there any sign of scorching?
Again, this is not rocket surgery, and the downside of not finding and correcting the issue can be quite serious.
As to the amount of juice…..it’s printed on the package when you buy the bulbs.
Coothie,
I think a plumber’s helper wired this house…
Any way, we have the lights sometimes flash dimly when they are turned off and periodically thru the night.
Hubby does not think it is a problem but it freaks me out.
Any ideas?
When you say “they are turned off”, do you mean they have been off for a while, or immediately after you flip the switch?
Also, is this just certain lights or is it lights in various places?
BOTH!
I have lights where we have not replaced the bulb yet that will glow when the switch is turned to the off position. These are all with two switches one at either end of a hall way.
This also happens with a bulb that is working.
You can only see it at night when it is dark in the room.
You need an exorcist.
Nah, the ghost here is friendly. It only steals my glasses when it thinks I am due for an eye exam.🙄
Or wakes me up when I over sleep.
You would need to look at the switches themselves. I suspect that one or more of them are flaking out. But the connectors could be loose as well. there are many possible wiring arrangements, so??
https://www.electrical101.com/3way-switch-wiring-using-nm-cable2.html
Thanks.
This is a modular and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP…..
I would try replacing the switches — which should be less than $5 each. If you want to change from toggle to rocker on the switch, you’ll also need new switchplates.
ThankQ
I will recommend that to hubby.
I should note that this is not leakage between the black and white wires, as the light has to have both functional to operate (at all). This sounds like a leak between black (source) and black (bulb), which would be a leaky switch.
This is good both in that it should be cheap to fix (replace switch(es, if 3-way)) and it has little chance of burning your house down before you fix it.
ThankQ!
THANK YOU, Coothie 🤓 I’ll show this to hubby … a bit alarming about possibility of fire!
I installed a contact switch in the door jamb of our pantry….
Open the door – light(s) comes on.
Close the door – light(s) go off.
Our pantry has sliding doors….that the Fiancee habitually leaves open.
I understand.
Another County in Oregon Has Just Approved the Measure to Secede From the State and Join ‘Greater Idaho’
“The Greater Idaho project is cool and all but have you heard of Giga Idaho?”
LOL to Giga Idaho.
More seriously, I’d rather Idaho not be renamed “Greater Idaho.” What’s the point? Where’s Lesser Idaho?
Way up at the top, next to Canada. Where you have to take your kid to the school bus stop with a snowmobile in the winter. Seriously, I saw it for myself.
If that’s not “lesser,” I don’t know what is!
I can believe that.
Here, a lot of people build little shacks by the road at the end of their driveway; it’s so their kids have some shelter when waiting for the school bus, from blizzards, rain, wind that people from Chicago never imagined, etc.
I’ve even seen situations where people at the end of a long dead end road will park cars by the intersection during the school day. It’s a driving-age student driving to his bus stop.
As a Jr high student, our bus stop was a 1/2 mile away on the top of a hill with no trees. One day it was very cold ( about minus 30F) with the wind blowing a gale. My next door neighbor and I put the little girl from down the street between us to help warm her and shelter her from the wind. She had forgotten her mittens and her coat was way too thin. When we got to school we took her to the nurse who sent her to the hospital. She was very lucky not to lose any fingers or toes.
At that time girls HAD TO WEAR DRESSES. Any wonder why I now hate dresses?
Not because the hems kept getting caught on your spurs?
Actually it was the horse’s hind foot.
And no I am not kidding.
I learned the proper use of spurs on a very well trained dressage horse. If I did not use the spur correctly (AS A REFINED AID) he would remove the spur from my boot!
A Prince of Wales spur is sort of like the eraser end of a pencil. This allows you to touch a very specific spot on the horse’s side. A well trained horse can then use that as a signal telling him what movement you want. Such as move sideways in a side-pass, turn on the forehand, turn on the haunches, canter….
More truth-telling, please 😊
Oh, I love it, I love it, I love it!!!
I remember how much WORK Treepers and patriots did to help ferret out the TRUTH and get it into the hands of the People.
Another boondoggle that will have no measurable result of success.
Fix the schools, put them there, give them an education. Problem solved. Your already paying for that anyway. Just fix the dang schools.
Just fix the schools and not home life?
That’s where it starts, not the schools. And fixing the schools sounds great until you try to actually do it. That’s a case where the top needs the people who have no interest in the job(s) being administrators.
I started in the middle. Of course we need to go in both directions out or more than likely attack the problem from all sides 😁
GET RID OF PROGRESSIVE [You can not discipline a child] REARING PRACTICES AND LAWS!!!
Here in NC they were floating YELLING at a kid as ‘Child Abuse’!
Of course when you make every other method of discipline ILLEGAL all you are left with is yelling at your uncivilized kid.
Yelling at kids can be as harmful as sexual or physical abuse: study
That makes every Tyler Perry movie a record of CVA. Funny how that works, Madea yells, cusses, swats at and threatens bodily harm at the nogoodnick family members of all ages. She’s the stereotypical black grandma heroine getting the thug influenced young ones or citified older ones to behave.
It is a parents JOB to CIVILIZE a child so they can join society.
If the kid is NOT civilized (think Micheal Brown) then they will end up DEAD in their 20s most likely.
Actually, I’m traumatized by being yelled at. It’s part of my personality. I avoid conflict like the plague.
Dear Rep. Bowman:
And you’re up for re-election to the House of Representatives this year, correct?
Just getting the facts straight.
‘Communities harmed by police violence’ …. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
‘Communities harmed by
police violence’by progressive satanic judges & prosecutors.Someone discovered that Justice Alito’s beach home flies the “Appeal to Heaven” flag. It was also carried by some on J6. Therefore, he should recuse himself (NOT).
The fact that American history is “provocative” to COMMUNISTS is their problem.
FUCK YOU, COMMIES.
Sounds like a personal issue.

Somewhere on this site I saw something about the Pyramids at Giza looking East.
No Nile in sight.
Giza is west of the Nile.
As far as I remember.
IIRC, it was an A I created pic.
Yes. Most pictures will not show the distant hills to the east. I thought I showed one though. Might of been this. Shows the hills to the east looking out from Cairo which is a couple stone throws away from Giza.
The cab ride seems to take forever.
And yeah that’s looking West. Ackkk! Maybe because I grew up on the East Coast and if it’s toward me it’s the East… 😆
Sometimes I have a bad case of “towards the Pacific” = West.
I do have to remind myself that it isn’t odd that the Western pacific is near the Orient.
LoL. Should have used a motor vehicle instead of Camel Taxi Service.
The camel and Arabian horse rides AT Giza are even more of a ripoff!!!
They only understand Egyptian and once out in the near desert, one must pay a fee to RETURN to the entrance.
Talk about BakSHEESH!
The pyramids of Giza are on the East bank.
Pic was to show the high hills to the east of the pyramids.
Easy to see the high ground to the west that comes right up to the river’s west side, but not the east as there is about a 21 mile gap between high ground on either side of the river.
Thought has to do with the little known Egyptian Flood Myth.
Nasty bit of work called “The Heavenly Cow”
The Three notable Pyramids (the first) were built in 2670 BC – 2510 BC in succession (that’s stretching it, most sites say the first was completed a hundred years later making that about 2570 BC for the first.).
The Book of the Holy Cow shows up in 1333BC at the earliest well after the three pyramids.
Ethical Skeptic wants to push back the building of the three pyramids to a time before recorded history (appox 4000 BC) to make his flood theory work. His theory is coupling what Herodotus was told about two times the sun rose in West and set in the East meaning there was a world wide event that made the seas rise and on explaining the erosion band around the Khafre pyramid that does not exist around the other two. Presumably because Khufu pyramid had a gold cap that protected it from wave erosion, that had been taken down later and disassembled and the other was completely submerged thus no erosion.
The Erosion Band.
His complete theory here. https://theethicalskeptic.com/2023/12/18/hidden-in-plain-sight/
Which he took down from the substack two days after I submitted 2 alternate theories and information on the Eye of Osiris vs the Eye of Ra. This is from his web page instead.
Anyway, I’m not much of a fan of his theory. So I devised two of my own. One of which deals with Egyptian Flood Myth. Nasty bit of work found here and else where like Wikipedia. https://sofiatopia.org/maat/heavenly_cow.htm
My contention is to take the Myth seriously but instead of the gods doing this, it was the evil reign of the kings at the time. All they’d have to do is build a 21 mile damn across the Nile and kill all their people on one side of the dam and then open it up to kill the others on the other side of the dam. Annual flooding on the Nile would easily account for the water. But to account for the dam I’d estimate they’d have to build at least a 350fth dam.
Meanwhile the Babylonian, Hebrew and Greek flood myths seem to all predate the Egyptian Flood Myth so they had a ready made excuse. Much of 21 mile dam could of been built years before closing off the last section prior the yearly flood, to flood the Nile River Valley and Egyptian’s were already prolific builders when it came to things like the pyramids and other projects that include many dikes and dams to control water from flooding cities and towns and irrigate crops.
That’s it in a nut shell. Still working it out. The highland to the east and west of the Nile does the rest of the work with a bit of shoring up between high ground that easily topped the height of the pyramids.
Personally, I’m waiting for the fundamental premise of Star Gate SG-1 TV series to be revealed as a documentary rather than fictitious entertainment. 😂
Shouldn’t be long now… but we might have to have you warp your thinking to believe in the Tartaryns and the bad guys, the Koryos first. (Bad Lands Media post). Not that there isn’t something about all the tribes that migrated from the North into the civilized regions, but that aint it.😁)
There was actually an episode where it turned out that someone was making a bad, low budget TV show that was revealing a little too much about SG-1
I only remember our hotel on the east side of the Nile, downtown, and Giza being on the west side. Like this:
No, they are west of the Nile.
https://www.bing.com/maps?toWww=1&redig=BAA8B62E39D34B9B81215C985EA12710&forcev8=1
Okay, right were I left them. Obviously confused my west with the east.
Yeah I hate it when I have an outburst of east-west dyslexia. I’ve just been lucky enough not to have one here (yet).
My left/right issues are as old as the hills!
passenger side… Driver side. 😆
Indeed, almost got killed in Britain. Always getting into the wrong side of the car…and turning. Thank goodness the bus stopped.
I was at a pub in Belgium. I do not drink so I was handed the keys to the car to drive us (cavers) home. It was a Brit. Singer 5 speed. Everything on the wrong side for an American. The town was very old with steep cobble streets and the house walls starting at the curb. (Think San Francisco like) Oh and it was midnight or there abouts — YIKES!
Dang!!! NG!
I was really concerned when the Fiancee went to Ireland and got a car. She has very little sense of handedness, so “driver/passenger” or “bass/treble” or “right/left” really don’t work. In fact, she habitually wore a Ruby ring on her Right hand so if you told her to turn right at the next light she could look at the ring.
So she goes off for several weeks in Ireland and I was very worried….but didn’t want to jinx it. So, after she was home for a few days, I asked her how comfortable she was driving on the left.
At first, she was sort of nebulous about it — “oh, it was fine….” But I finally found out how she had adapted.
She had taken her ruby ring and put it on her other hand.
HA!!!!!! I will have to keep that trick on my ring finger for future reference!
I’m a leftie. Growing up, I would move my hand when I said left or right to reinforce the accuracy of which direction I was saying. Guess I needed to feel it. 😄
Well, at least you didn’t move them!!!! LOLOL!!!
Frankly, the Nile flows into the Med so, an upside down river might have its banks reversed. Just look at the map upside down!
That would be one heck of a big project. Of course today we actually do have the Aswan dam. Which, if it ever were to burst, would nearly wipe out everyone in Egypt, since the overwhelming majority of the population is directly downstream of it.
If it was a catastrophic high flood, I’d expect to see something else…more damage upstream (the south side) than downstream (the north side, basically the lee of the pyramid. The water wouldn’t be that high for very long; it has a way out.
Having toured the inside of the back of the relocated Abu Simbel, I completely concur!
https://www.webuildvalue.com/en/reportage/abu-simbel-a-construction-company-looks-back-at-the-rescue.html
I toured Area G, the dome.
Admittingly dam 350ft or higher if needed, possible, would be the hardest part., That said, much of it could been done in the years before finally blocking off the river. Additionally looked up Hoover dam. Seems that is appox 726 ft tall. Aswam btw is 364ft which makes for a good comparison.
Now the tie in on East Bank would be easy, it’s the West (got it right this time) that would be quite the stretch (21 miles total) if topography is the same then as is now but you could likely cut the height off by 100 ft shortly after the crossing the river.
If my theory is correct which I have no idea, but if so, it would of been likely done in the years immediately after the completion of Khafre while laborers were still available and in order to under cut his son’s pyramid. Everything I’m reading is that those were some rather evil rulers.
I hope this issue is not considered thoughtlessly contentious; it is not intended to be.
Tattoos and piercings have always struck me as evidence of psychological instability. My heart breaks when I meet young people who have mutilated themselves, and destroyed the natural appeal of youthful health and vigor.
Maybe one tattoo out of a thousand has aesthetic value, the rest are just plain ugly at best. Piercings imply a sickness which is hard to contemplate in detail, and evoke (in me) a pity and thoughts of the internal suffering this person experiences.
Yes, I understand cultural context, etc, etc, but I am talking about 2024.
It implies very broad derangement in our country.
Vox Day has posted about this. In the post he has linked to his short assessment, and states things very well. Read the link.
https://voxday.net/2024/05/22/theres-always-one/
LOL!!!
My opinion is not strong enough to dispute your conclusion, but I think it is more likely evidence of wanting to belong to a group with a tinge of rebellion mixed in. Of course one could reasonably argue that is psychologically wobbly as well.
Considering the proliferation of tattoos among our military special operators, I’d say the group idea is correct. And aren’t we generally grateful for that group?
We sleep good, thanks to those tattooed young-uns. I know I do.
I think the military has earned having whatever tatoos floats their boats, but civilians like me would be “wannabee warriors.”
It brings up the question of why it’s not an issue with women’s earlobes, but IS an issue through the nose or ear cartilage, or lip.
Or for that matter “gages” in ears.
I sometimes have to avert my eyes to avoid looking at noses, mouths, ears…
And someone I know who is Deplorable as can be suddenly showed up with a small ring through one side of her nose (not from one nostril to the other).
I also have a reaction to piercings even the multiple piercings in the ear lobe. I understand the jewelry aspect of ear rings since it is not a new ‘invention’ but the number of ear lobe piercings on the same individual is fairly recent. I am not someone who enjoys wearing jewelry or attachments or markings of any kind, but that is my preference. I don’t even wear my wedding ring for that reason. I have come to accept that we live in an age of excessive exhibitionism. This is an area that I choose not to broadcast my opinion widely nor do I find it useful to embarrass others who have a different and opposite view.
You are so kind, Robert. Here I am thinking of new ways to tweak people. 😆
😂
I always want to ask people with nose rings if they have trouble blowing their nose. The big holes in people’s earlobes are particularly nasty IMHO. Just now, I decided the few times I see someone with those, I will ask them if they’re feeling tribal.
It’s even worse when they remove those gauges…now they have a big floppy ear loop that will never go away.
On my first Twitter account that was never reactivated, I asked why people mutilate themselves with tatoos. hahaha… Got a lot of pushback but my favorite reply of all was “Oh mom, we’ve already discussed this.” We had a pleasant exchange though I doubt we met again through my 2nd account which uses my real name. A pity. I became an honorary mom for a little while.

C. Extremists Traits
[A LONG list]
n. Hypersensitivity and vigilance
Extremists perceive hostile innuendo in even casual and innocuous comments, imagine rejection and antagonism concealed in honest disagreement and dissent, and see latent subversion, anti-Semitism, perversion, racism, disloyalty, and so on in innocent gestures and ambiguous behaviors. Although few extremists are actually clinically paranoid, many of them adopt a paranoid style with its attendant projective mechanisms, hostility, and distrust.
o. Use of supernatural rationales for beliefs and actions
Some extremists, particularly those involved in cults and religious movements, claim some kind of supernatural rationale for their beliefs and actions; their movement or cause, they believe, is ordained or 👉looked upon favorably by God.

Yikes!
Double yikes! Those people are certifiable.
THAT is part of a military training manual under OH!Bummer!
Or, I just step out the door, wander down to the river, take a walk along the paths the hunters have cleared and a few hours later make my way back to the house. 😆
Wear your bright orange jacket. Don’t want to look like walking dinner. 😂
Actually when I used to go trail riding during hunting season, I put a fluorescent orange brow band on my bridle, large fluorescent orange bow with streamers on her tail, an ORANGE saddle pad and SLEIGH BELLS around her neck.
Do you know how LOUD real sleigh bells are??? I had to wear ear plugs!
You have a strong aversion to your horse being mistaken for a game animal. That’s a good thing. 🙂
On one occasion I hugged the tail end of a pickup so closely I was afraid my mare would jump in. It was two dudes driving on a dirt road and shooting at squirrels…. A children’s playground was about 50 foot on the other side of the brush they were shooting into!
I memorized the licence plate and reported it to the MPs. It was on a military base.
What ear protection did the horse get to wear?
Cotton in her ears.
I was thinking maybe earphones.
You are Mightily Blessed in that!
Yeah but that’s because you’re 350 miles from anywhere to begin with. 😀
Look whose talking!
You have that in your ‘back yard’ All I have are the wimpy OLD worn down Appalachians.
I’m actually pretty far from them.
But I am a heck of a lot further. 😋

I posted this on the day the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago after Merrick Garland ordered it and gave the green light to kill anyone that stood in the way. The FBI stole Pres Trump’s passport, financial records, and medical records along with confiscating documents that NARA had approved, packed, and delivered to MAL. The FBI then staged the scene and took pictures that Jack Smith wrongfully used in court to frame Pres Trump in the fake documents lawfare case, while giving Biden a full pass on his decades worth of classified docs all over the place including sloppily by his corvette in his garage that anyone could steal. Democrats declared war on us and weaponized the full power of the justice system the minute they took power. They are trying to lock Trump up for life, are prosecuting over 400 Republicans across the country for fighting for election integrity in 2020, and are putting thousands of people in jail for protesting the 2020 election on January 6, 2020. Now Democrats are going after Justice Alito for an upside down flag being flown at his house. WE SHOULD ALL BE FLYING THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN!!!
She’s right. These communists are complete bullshit.
Unfortunately they KNEW the weak point is our judges and prosecutors. Most voters do not pay attention so Soros could, with a little money, BUY elections for commies in that area.
When there was ANY doubt, a libertarian was fielded to take away just enough votes from the Republican to assure victory for the Commie.
The RNC of course helped by NEVER providing funding to local judge and prosecutor candidates.
Yesterday I did a series of comments, including providing images of the tweet that appears to keep being hidden, starting here:
https://www.theqtree.com/2024/05/22/dear-kag-20240522-open-thread/#comment-1281363
This specific tweet, the internal one, is some type of tweet “article” that appears to function differently than a typical tweet so won’t show here or allow the video of Bannon & Chrisina Bobb to play here either.
Please consider reviewing the tweet, or if it’s been removed/hidden then see my comments from yesterday to see images from the tweet (I visually saved All of the tweet material there) . If the tweet is still available there are clickable links for some of the “disbarment papers” for multiple lawfare targets. It’s outrageous!

Obama State Dept blocked FBI from arresting supporters of Iran nuclear program in US: Emails
The State Department blocked arrests of several individuals suspected of aiding Iran’s nuclear program as the Obama administration was negotiating the JCPOA
Grassley and Johnson received unclassified and legally protected whistleblower disclosures which they say show that “while the Obama-Biden administration publicly committed to ‘preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons by raising the cost of Iran’s defiance of the international community,’ then-Secretary of State John Kerry actively interfered with the Federal Bureau of Investigation executing arrest warrants on individuals in the U.S. illegally supporting Iranian efforts, including financial efforts, to develop weapons of mass destruction and its ballistic missile program.”
The records, according to the senators, show that the Justice Department and FBI leadership, including then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-FBI Director James Comey “failed to take the necessary steps to stop Kerry’s obstructive efforts against law enforcement.”
One email — an unclassified FBI email from August 25, 2017 — detailed at least eight instances connected to the Iran nuclear deal where “the FBI/DOJ/USG could have moved forward with the cases but the State Department chose to block them.”
“The records provided to our office show that the Obama/Biden administration’s State Department, under the leadership of John Kerry, actively and persistently interfered with FBI operations pertaining to lawful arrests of known terrorists, members of Iranian proliferation networks, and other criminals providing material support for Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs,” Grassley and Johnson wrote.

John Kerry is not only the world’s biggest narcissist (probably greater than ALGORE) – he’s dumb as a box of rocks.
Filly reminded me his daughter is married to an Iranian.
OMG, the left is utterly blind to the idea of “conflicts of interest”.
There are none so blind as those who will not see. – John Heywood
The saying “there are none so blind as those who will not see” refers to people who have full use of their eyesight but refuse to observe what’s right in front of them. Essentially, they are more impaired than those who are literally blind. It speaks to people’s attitudes and ignorance12. So, when someone chooses to ignore an obvious issue, problem, or solution, they become figuratively “blind” to it. Perhaps you’ve encountered situations where you’ve tried to help someone see the truth, but they remain unwilling to accept it—those are the moments when this saying truly resonates.
There are moments where I talked to people about the jabs – some fact or the other – and I observed that. It was like they just skipped the last 10-15 seconds and heard none of it. They got this weird look on their faces, like they believed it – like they assimilated the information – but they could not resolve it, so the information went into some weird buffer. It could have been “I can’t handle this now – I’ll think about it later.” – but it also could have been “I can’t handle this – forget it.”
Weird buffer = socialist ideology.

RFK Jr. says he would give black farmers $5B in reparations — despite ruling that it’s unconstitutional ~
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said he will support giving black farmers $5 billion in reparations once in office —
“When I’m in the White House… I’m going to get rid of those people in USDA and get that money,” Kennedy told John Boyd Jr., the founder of the National Black Farmers Association,
“That $5 billion is not money, that is an entitlement,” the 70-year-old added. “It’s money that was a loan that black farmers were entitled to way back when and was stolen from them through discrimination.”
https://nypost.com/2024/05/20/us-news/rfk-jr-says-he-would-give-black-farmers-5b-in-reparations-despite-ruling-that-its-unconstitutional/

Reply to heidi
This was a thing with Obama who gave black farmers 1.25 billion in 2010. Michelle Bachmann said the first settlement was ‘rife with fraud’ and I recall many of the black ‘farmers’ were wealthy people such as sports players, that used farms as a write off by not growing anything.
This along with student loans is not about fairness, it is about buying votes.
AMEN.
Kennedy’s chrome plate is flaking off badly from his TINPOT self.
A hustle? Starting to sound like it.
He is looking more and more like a FAR left hack which is all to the good. People who would never vote Trump but really do not like Bite-me now have a viable alternative from their POV.
He is doing what the libertarians do to the Republican party. SPLIT THE VOTE.
I doubt he will take many votes from Trump.
Can you say zero? I knew you could.
[apologies to Mister Rogers]
In defense of the Libertarian party, much of the membership actually comes in from the Left. Perhaps about a third. Yes, that makes the LP more damaging to the GOP than to the Dems…but IMHO the GOP brought that on themselves via RINO-ism.
I had a state legislator angrily complain to me about Libertarians taking some of “his” votes; but the problem is they aren’t “his” votes, they belong to the people casting the vote and his job was to earn them. And he didn’t. And neither does any other RINO.
It’s only because Trump is trying to wreck the current unhappy situation we’re finding ourselves in (rather than accepting it as inevitable) that I am now willing to give the GOP another chance. (However, the LP became more and more leftist and less libertarian in the last 20 years so I don’t want anything to do with them, either.)
Oh, I agree. I have voted Libertarian on occasion.
I was just making an observation.
RFKJ: “It’s money that was a loan that black farmers were entitled to way back when and was stolen from them through discrimination.”
*Speaking gently, softly, so as not to startle him with the truth* 😅:
THOSE PEOPLE ARE DEAD NOW.
The guy with the golden whip of a tongue Alan Keyes did that and ruined his political career forever and a day.
I vaguely remember that.
Hacked Primary Ballot Unveils MASSIVE Security Flaw in Texas Elections.
A lawsuit filed in Texas alleges that a “willful and systematic disregard of election laws” has allowed a breach in ballot secrecy, impacting most of the state’s voters. The lawsuit, filed by Dr. Laura Pressley and several other voters, contends that the state, in failing to comply with its own election rules, has created a security flaw that allows anyone to reverse engineer for whom a voter cast their ballot.
According to Dr. Pressley’s lawsuit, public information paired with specific data mining techniques can reveal voter choices. Hacking a ballot is accomplished through an algorithm that can decrypt the randomized ID numbers assigned to voters. While the randomized ID numbers are only used by some of the electronic voting machines in the state, they appear to be used prevalently in the state’s most populous counties. Texas state election law, however, actually stipulates that voter ID numbers must be consecutively numbered.
GOP CHAIRMAN’S HACKED BALLOT.
The ballot security flaw was recently used by the independent Texas news outlet Current Revolt to expose for which candidates for office Matt Rinaldi, the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT), voted during the state’s Super Tuesday 2024 primary election. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Rinaldi claimed he voted for former President Donald J. Trump in the March primary. However, the ballot copy acquired by Current Revolt shows that he voted for Governor Ron DeSantis. The Florida Governor dropped out of the Republican presidential primary race weeks before the Texas primary.
Experts such as Dr. Walter Daugherity from Texas A&M University have verified a repetitive pattern in the random number generation used to assign ballots, adding credibility to Dr. Pressley’s claims. The process — detailed in the lawsuit — shows how unique ballot numbers can be linked back to individual voters, making ballot secrecy an illusion.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, May 23, 2024
✟
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”
John 15:20 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
SERVANT OF ALL
Who is the greatest boxer of all time?
Who bragged he was super star so sublime?
Who was the runner who outran the rest?
Who clocked in his time as the very best?
Who was the richest man recently noted?
Who had wealth so vast – ego so bloated?
Who was the most famous movie star of all?
Pardon me – please – I really cannot recall!
When will the first be the last you ask?
For many are called and taken to task;
Who are the few that are chosen to be?
Elevated by God – for eternity!
It is the man with a humble, contrite heart;
Who repents of his sin from the very start;
His head hung in sorrow – he fervently pleads;
He knows it’s forgiveness – he surely needs!
He who gives thanks for blessings each day;
Is well aware of what Father would say;
If he took the choicest in life as his own;
Shared neither his wealth nor what he had sown!
If each seat taken was the best in the house;
First and foremost – and forever the louse;
Would his mansion in Heaven be the best?
Or would the fiery furnace be eternal rest?
Are we like the man who was hung on the tree?
Are we poor, humble, and as kind as He?
Compassionate, loving, and caring toward all?
Gentle, long-suffering – virtually – on call?
Do we look for attention at every turn?
Is it fame and fortune for which we yearn?
Do we take the first seat or sit in the last?
Are we meek and humble – securely steadfast?
The greatest of all is not one who’s achieved;
The best and the brightest are not conceived;
It’s the few who – among many – He will call;
The greatest will be the servant of all!

Thank you so much for your poem, and for the wonderful inspiring things that you post to the board every day.
Prayers ongoing for you here and at Marica’s blog. Be well.
FOR YOU, CV, AND ALL WHO ARE IN NEED OF HEAVENLY HELP –
I NEED HEAVENLY HELP
Have you noticed lately, Lord
I am shaky, unhinged, and floored
At what has just happened to me
I am not as sound as I used to be
My steps are labored I cannot sprint
My mind is sharp my muscles splint
My gait is slow and wouldn’t you know
My 100-yard dash it ain’t no mo
When I was young full of energy I was
My prowess in sport impressive it twas
But now I struggle just to keep going
As the years pass by I am slowing
I cannot complain by any measure
My life has taken on brand new treasure
My daily chores are so different now
An about turn they have taken somehow
I contemplate and meditate much more
My prayers are more meaningful than before
My divine appointment has been redefined
With His Divine Will it is much more aligned
Sometimes I need help keeping upright
A cane prevents me from taking flight
A handrail assists in climbing the stairs
Without these aids I could land anywheres
It is manifest madly maturing
How many more years there’s no assuring
But God has made provision for us
No reason to fret or kick up a fuss
He provides us with companions of all sorts
From animals to flowers diamonds and quartz
He turns our attention to things on high
He prompts us to look up into the sky
He sends us smiles and blessings each day
Just not in the ordinary or usual ways
A giggle here and a belly laugh there
From cyber friends on blogs everywhere
So if you are feeling old and less than useful
Remember there is more for you that’s museful
There are babies and kitties and puppies
And there are wokies, pokies and yuppies
There are nitpickers pastors and prophets
There is beauty in nature and soffits
We could be here all day naming the gifts
How marvelously God’s blessing uplifts
Suffice as to say on any given day
There are things that appear to get in the way
There are frustrations/delays we must endure
And many bumps in the road that is for sure
So if you are feeling bumped and bruised
And your body is reeling from being abused
Call on the Angels charged to assist you
And thank God they can never resist you!

“In the village Klescheevka, a seriously wounded instructor of the French military legion, was captured. Based on the nature of the wounds, it is clear that they tried to finish him off, wounded in the leg, with a shot in the heart. But he was lucky.
While paramedics are fighting for his life. If his life is saved, he could become a valuable source of information.”

mea culpa
seems that blurb about rhonda knowing about the raid on Mar-a lago was fake
Hodgetwins
@hodgetwins
We got duped by a fake article and deleted the post But Ron DeSantis is a spineless coward if he knew about the raid on Trump and didn’t do anything to help him, so would like to hear the truth
What’s interesting is that I haven’t seen DeSantis deny he got a heads up.
And if I’m right, we never will hear that particular denial.
Sundance indicated the local cops escorted the FIBs to Mar-a-Logo.
That pretty much confirms that RDS knew.
The question is whether he was a double agent or not.
I agree there.
I am pretty sure someone tipped POTUS Trump off and he told Secret Service to STAND DOWN.
I suspected it when I couldn’t find it anywhere. I keep saying we have to be extremely careful about sources. In this case, Laura Loomer was spreading it, and so did Sundance, Real Raw News, and many others.
I say he knew and was DJT’s insider spy. There’s a new book out [The Unvanquished] showing just how important spies and spec ops are in a war. Another earlier book is entitled George Washington and His Secret Six [ IIRC ].
DJT was mostly educated in a military school. He knows military stuff.
5 years in a military school, from the time he was 13.
And that would be BEFORE Obama & wokeness infiltrated the curriculum, etc. Methinks Pres. Trump was well-schooled by both his family and school.
This is Fred Trump, Donald’s father. He sounds a LOT like my Dad including living in NYC, speaking German at home and losing his father to the Spanish Flu.
Notice Fred started working as a teen so the work ethic was there and we know Donald continued it. All his kids can drive a backhoe for example.
I didn’t know that Donald Trump’s grandfather died in the 1918 flu pandemic.
That is a history of putting in the study and hard work to succeed.
Back then there was no welfare so the entire family had to pitch in. Grandma raise five kids and put them ALL thru college.
So yea, those who lived thru the depression and such KNEW what hard work was.
Unfortunately the Boomers (there children) were sold a bill of goods about child raising and we now have LAZY, FAT, WHINY ADULTS with a 2 year old mentality.
Sounds like an attack on Dr Spock and all the talk show hosts that housewives would tune into, who got progressively worse as the years passed, from Mike Douglas, to Merv Griffin, Phil Donahue, Oprah and Geraldo as they went. Groundbreakers they were called. Now of course the ground is broke.

And then went on the Womens Lib to get women out of the house so the STATE raised the kids.

Rockefeller Foundation Funded ‘Womens Lib’ For The Same Reason The CIA Funded ‘MS Magazine’
Not only was it about getting to tax the labor of women. Remember the Grace Commission report to Reagan noted that 100% of personal income tax goes to pay interest on the national debt, the lion’s share of which goes to the banking cartel that we know as the Federal Reserve. – It was all about gaining control and indoctrinating Americas children.
That was what all the trumped up charges against Daycares was all about.

His knowing and tipping off Trump would explain a lot. Significantly, it would explain why that info was not supposed to be known. As it is, IF he knew, people took that information and disparaged DeSantis with it.
That said, I highly doubt that the source the rumor came from had any insider knowledge, IF DeSantis really knew.
Agreed.

Signing bonus. Contract guaranteeing no more medical mandates ever, period. Contract further guaranteeing HUGE severance if separated for any reason other than criminal conduct within next five years.
And free lunch each workday for at least a year. Then I might consider it.
So if I’m ever in a Kaiser Permanente and I see a smoking hot woman doctor named “Eggplant”, I’ll know they met these demands.
OK, just kidding; I don’t use Kaiser Permanente.
Lol! I don’t think they hire herbalists!
Too bad they could use one!
That’s for sure!
Hey Q-Treepers,
I’ll be heading out of town “soon” caravanning w/ my son Josiah, daughter Clarissa, & her daughter Lillian (1 year old now) to head Up North to my parents’ Cottage in Northern Michigan for an extended Memorial Day Weekend. I couldn’t find my tablet for some reason so may have limited to no Internet access while gone for about a week.
Hope Everyone has a lovely holiday break.
Thank you to all warriors, whether (formerly) in service or otherwise, who keep laying down their lives in so many ways to ensure & protect & claw back our freedoms from tyrants. May the Lord Richly Bless Each & Every One! In Jesus’ Love ❤ Valerie
Hope you have a wonderful time with your family!
And you as well.
TY TT Blessings!
Enjoy!!
Thanks, hope to! There will be A Lot of work to do to open the place up but at least it won’t be solo. Blessings!
At least it will be quieter around here. 😂
One could hope! 😉
Great. You almost got all caught up. Now I’ll be seeing replies to week-old comments and posts again!
😀
LOL I doubt I’ll ever be caught up in this life, but it’s a nice thought. Hope you have a Great Holiday Weekend…& Beyond 🙂
I am getting ready to Rate the following proposed Community Note. It is classic “start with a false premise.” I want to find some reliable links to studies on how Covid and Covid vaccines harm fertility. I thought of you Pavaca and Gail. 😘

Thank you!
Gail, thank you so much!! I did find two articles by FLCCC doctors but it did not seem like nearly enough.
Barb Meier
Thank you for this.
The following are some reliable websites for information regarding the dangers of the COVID-19 “vaccines” and/or the COVID-19 virus itself:

And, the blog articles posted on this board by Yours Truly under the moniker PAVACA.
Thank you, PAVACA!! I had found one article by Dr. Kory but you and Gail have given me plenty to provide as a counterpoint
Considering her bust size, I’m surprised that none of these cretins have accused her of being trans-female.
That is from someone who jokingly says he is working for the Biden meme team. 😅
That’s made to be mocked to no end.

It doesn’t look like those 2 Bye-Dones were actually photoed together, look at how their arms together are so awkward 🙄
When did the term Child Molester go out of fashion? 🙁
Perhaps someone can come up with a full, 360 degree curved bottom for a chair, sort of like turning the person sitting into a weeble.
They already have!
I don’t think you’re supposed to roll that ball though.
I guess I could be mistaken.
Come to think of it, I’ve seen, In Real LIfe, something like this:

Yes. They use those for kids with ADHD.
What I was thinking of was actual office furniture. Not the guy sitting behind the desk, though but rather people coming to work with him. It looks like a white cylinder with a cushion on it. When you sit on it you realize the cylinder wobbles on its base.
Bronx rally at 6 pm Eastern tonight! 🇺🇸
Nicely stated.
Needs to go viral.

Good example of weaponization of government against the will of We the People as reflected with vote results in elections.

There is a response to this nobody wants to see happen but probably will if the white hats do not fix things soon.

Keeping it simple… but they don’t want to hear it, so they can’t 😂

YUP.
One might think Putin has been listening to Col Macgregor regarding dead wood at the top, maybe he was waiting till after he got re-elected.
These reports are all from today there have been a couple more previously…
****************************
“A number of media and telegram channels report the detention of the head of the Main Communications Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation – Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Vadim Anatolyevich Shamarin.
Clean up of Russian MOD continues…

“Arrested Lieutenant General Kuznetsov in court.”

“Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Moscow Region, Vladimir Talaev, was detained on suspicion of receiving a large bribe.”
https://t.me/intelslava/60862
*******************************
“The head of the Department of Defense Procurement, Vladimir Verteletsky, was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe, Izvestia sources reported.
It is noted that he received a house and a car as a bribe.”

And in neighboring Belarus…
“Lukashenko has carried out a major military reshuffle in Belarus.
Major General Pavel Muraveiko, who previously served as First Deputy Secretary of State of the Security Council, was appointed Chief of the General Staff.
Let us recall that earlier in the Russian Federation the Minister of Defense was replaced and generals began to be arrested .
At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces Gerasimov remains in his position and Putin said that he does not intend to change him.”

Yeah like telling the Brits NOT to try and retake the USA after the civil war or they would attack from the rear. In retaliation the Brits WIPED OUT THEIR BLOOD LINE!
(Somewhere I have that link…)
Some forget that during the American Civil War, the Tsar of Russia sent his naval fleet to America, to support Lincoln and the North and possibly to assist the North in blockading weapons shipments from Britain to the Confederacy….
Russian involvement in the US Civil Warhttps://www.stolenhistory.org/articles/1863-russian-involvement-in-the-us-civil-war.168/
U.S. Civil War: The US-Russian Alliance that Saved the Union
And you can imagine how offensive to the Russian history buffs it is that the current US regime treats this LONG friendship with such profound disrespect.
I bet there aren’t more than 0.01% of Americans that know how important Russia was to their current existence. Had UK succeeded in re-taking the US, everyone still alive who fought in the Revolution would have been executed as traitors. If already dead, their estates would have been seized.
Our Fathers and Framers – lined up at the gallows and stripped of their wealth.
Public schools are an evil abomination for failing to teach true history.
The good news is hardly anyone old enough to rebel before or during 1783 (when the Revolutionary War officially ended) would have been around in 1862 (which I will take as the earliest year the UK could have sucked us back in, the war having started in 1861).
In point of fact, since they actually did recognize our independence, that essentially ended any potential charge of treason…otherwise no Patriot would have dared go to the UK except under diplomatic cover once the war was over.
Trump close to going on stage in the Bronx! ( that’s Trump time close, could mean soon or an hour)
He’s ready to speak now.

He’s pulling no punches 😁
“Should I go off teleprompter?”
Crowd: “YES”
LOL! Classic Trump!
The BOOs for Hillary – WOW.
😂
Kevin’s replacement.
Can’t make this shit up.
AWFLs or AWFULs are AWFUL!!!
Great story. DEI must DIE!!!
The officer appeared to be guiding JB on what to do and where to go. The officer was talking but they weren’t conversing. I don’t know, but it appeared that he was telling JB, “Now we’re passing the flag. I’m going to salute. You put your hand on your heart.” And then the officer pointed the way as they made a slight turn. It makes me sick to see our military under the control of such an incompetent “commander in chief.”
MAGANOMICS
LOWER TAXES
LOW INFLATION
LOW INTEREST RATES
AFFORDABLE ENERGY
DRILL BABY DRILL!!!
“Our side is quieter but much bigger than their side, and tougher.”
“First president in 78 years that didn’t start a war.”
Trump says he used to give talks on success but stopped doing it because of politics. “I’m so tired of politics. Can we devote 6 minutes to success?”
“I’m OD’d on politics. I’m OD’d on Trump. You turn on the television and it’s ‘Trump’ this and that.” 😅
Professor (Dr.) John Trump was at MIT for 41 years, a nuclear genius. He used to say that one day a small package carried by hand could blow up an entire city.
Trump’s dad loved construction and was very successful.
The story about Levitt and momentum seems very important.
Yes, and Trump has masterfully kept his momentum going.
“The Snake”! 🐍
EXCELLENT!!!
Another GREAT Trump Rally!!! 💖 🇺🇸 🙏
He was so energetic and personable!
“It’s hard-working patriots like you who are going to save our country.”
Make it too big to rig.
Together we will make America
powerful
wealthy
strong
proud
safe, and
great again! 🇺🇸
I didn’t hear a word about the left-wing protests that were supposed to happen at the rally today. 🥱 There were no interruptions that I know of while Trump spoke except one medical situation that he paused for.
The Puerto Rican speaker was great to shame the judge and he was right
“Too smart,” LOL. But if no one had gone digging, it would have remained hidden.
This article slants “anti-Trump,” but I find it interesting because I wasn’t aware of this woman and her access to him.
Meet Trump’s ‘Human Printer’
Snark alert: 🦈
Yet Trump has done many good deeds for people.
Hatchet face has a few words for Maga folks.
What a liar, saying Trump is “just for himself.”
We’re “clowns” now, LOL.
“Made up, fake rallies and pretending there’s support here.” What does that even mean? It’s not as if someone created an AI image and called it a rally. The rallies are real, with real people attending. What a dumb comment. But that whole little piece was just political speak for the political base.
And I thought Hillary was classless. These leftist broads…
D-Rats Are Classless.
Superb video at link below. ~Ten minutes.

President Trump Shares VDH “Brace Yourself” Outline
Posting to Truth Social account, President Trump shared a video with the background narration of Victor Davis Hanson last night.
The outline as spoken eloquently by VDH, walks through the fear of the entire apparatus of the political left; a fear created by their inability to destroy everything that Donald J Trump represents.
