What is it that feeds our battle, yet starves our victory?
January 6 Tapes?
Where are the tapes? Anyone, Anyone? Bueller? Johnson??
Paging Speaker Johnson…this is your conscience calling you out on broken promises.
News Flash
Today, it is still the case that Joe Biden didn’t Win.
I realize that to some readers, this might be a shock; surely at some point things must change and Biden will have actually won.
But the past cannot actually be changed.
It will always and forever be the case that Joe Biden didn’t win.
And if you, Leftist Lurker, want to dismiss it as dead white cis-male logic…well, you can call it what you want, but then please just go fuck off. No one here buys that bullshit–logic is logic and facts are facts regardless of skin color–and if you gave it a moment’s rational thought, you wouldn’t either. Of course your worthless education never included being able to actually reason–or detect problems with false reasoning–so I don’t imagine you’ll actually wake up as opposed to being woke.
As Ayn Rand would sometimes point out: Yes, you are free to evade reality. What you cannot do is evade the consequences of evading reality. Or to put it concretely: You can ignore the Mack truck bearing down on you as you play in the middle of the street, you won’t be able to ignore the consequences of ignoring the Mack truck.
And Ayn Rand also pointed out that existence (i.e., the sum total of everything that exists) precedes consciousness–our consciousnesses are a part of existence, not outside of it–therefore reality cannot be a “social construct” as so many of you fucked-up-in-the-head people seem to think.
So much for Leftist douchebag lurkers. For the rest of you, the regular readers and those lurkers who understand such things: I continue to carry the banner once also carried by Wheatie. His Fraudulency didn’t win.
Let’s Go, Brandon!!
His Fraudulency
Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, we haven’t heard much from the person who should have been declared the victor, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.
One can hope that all is not as it seems.
I’d love to feast on that crow.
(I’d like to add, I find it entirely plausible, even likely, that His Fraudulency is also His Figureheadedness. (Apparently that wasn’t a word; it got a red underline. Well it is now.) Where I differ with the hopium addicts is on the subject of who is really in charge. It ain’t anyone we like.)
Justice Must Be Done.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
Lawyer Appeasement Section
OK now for the fine print.
This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines, here, with an addendum on 20191110.
We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
And remember Wheatie’s Rules:
1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Spot Prices.
Kitco Ask. Last week:
Gold $2,293.90
Silver $29.23
Platinum $973.00
Palladium $936.00
Rhodium $5,325.00
This week, markets closed as of 3PM MT.
Gold $2,333.80
Silver $29.63
Platinum $968.00
Palladium $918.00
Rhodium $5,150.00
Gold rose, then dipped below $2300 on Thursday. It bounced back up on Friday, though, so it ended up nearly $40 for the week. Silver is also up 40…but this time it’s cents. Platinum and palladium are both down a bit, and rhodium took a relatively large hit.
Site Note
I typically schedule posts to drop at 1 minute after 10 PM Mountain Time. If it doesn’t show up at that time, it’s a WordPus post-kicker-outer issue, not a Steve issue.
Typically if I am still working on it at 10PM and it is delayed for that reason, I will say something in the body of the post. That’s unlikely to ever happen again, though, as I’m not doing the science series any more.
I say this because recently I’ve seen people chewing out one of the other authors for the posts not being out precisely at the dot of 10PM. It’s not necessarily that author’s fault. [EDIT: No, this is not a reference to the time DePat was on the phone with a friend who was dealing with a crisis. This was a couple of days later.]
More on Terrence Howard
(With some effort I resisted spelling that “Moron Terrence Howard.”)
Two more debunk videos. The first is Sabine Hossenfelder, a physicist who has left academia because she’s unhappy with the way many of them are doing science. (Coming up with completely arbitrary hypotheses just to justify another expensive experiment to falsify them. No, she’s not a believer in the standard model being wrong or anything like that; she understands the standards of verification.)
The second is everyone’s favorite guy to bash, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Apparently Terrence Howard claimed that Tyson viciously attacked him years ago; here’s Tyson’s side of the story. He was at first happy to find a celebrity who was interested in science, but then found Howard’s treatise to be goobledegook. (He praised the sculptures that Howard has produced.) He was blunt, but not rude, and that bluntness is normal when scientists critique each others’ work. (If a statement is false, they will say so.) This is actually a good thing for it helps us arrive at truth. And scientists generally understand this; they’re perfectly capable of raking each other’s pet hypotheses over the coals and then going out to dinner afterwards.
Thanks Steve! I know exactly what you mean about being comfortable with someone pointing out mistakes of others. For me, it is engineers correcting any technical error I might introduce when trying to simplify concepts or make content more friendly or digestible. I am always happy for someone to take the time to point out something I miss. It makes me look smarter than I am. hehehe… it’s all one’s perspective and keeping an eye on the goal of finding truth in science or accuracy iin tech topics.
You get some weird reactions sometimes in the realm of financial auditing.
One time, we had this ginormous client spreadsheet. The general idea was that you calculated an overall worldwide exposure for “doubtful accounts” (invoices you don’t expect to collect, typically on a percentage basis), then subtracted out all of the amounts already allowed to the subsidiaries by local authorities (many countries have limited such so that they can assess taxes on more “revenue”…..once the invoices really and truly go bad, you can write them off — but this is generally in a subsequent tax year).
Anyway, we were going through this monstrous thing, tracing amounts to all the reports from all the local accountants, and we noticed something odd….the corporate number was in dollars, but a bunch of the local numbers were in pounds and euros….
In general, when you’re subtracting euros from dollars, you have a problem. It’s like subtracting centimeters from inches.
So we flag this, and the response comes back, “doesn’t matter.”
Does accounting software perform real-time currency conversions with mixed currency type fields before performing other equations? Accounting software coders should hop to it… Perhaps it could be a plug-in.
Accounting software has two faces — one is to keep the wheels turning, and the other is to extract information out of all that data. A lot of the latter is still being done with spreadsheets.
This is actually quite a complicated subject. It is normally handled under the rubric of “consolidations” because you normally have a subsidiary in country B that you are trying to report as part of a parent company in country A.
For every number in your financial system, you need to determine the most appropriate way to translate it into current parent units.
Even for a simple sale — you get a purchase order on November 5, you ship (and bill) it on December 10, and you collect the money on January 20. Which exchange rate(s) do you use? Where do you put the variation? Does it make a difference if country B has currency controls and you can’t take your money out until June?
Interesting. I remember companies can get loans on their receivables even if the $s haven’t yet been paid or cleared by their bank. Then, you have to take into account the interest rate of a loan on top of the variation of currency conversions. Just the variations in milliseconds on electronic trades seems to mean there’s a dark economy underlying what businesses report to their shareholders or to the IRS.
Factoring receivables (borrowing against them before collection) usually is done in local currency, so translation into the parent’s currency is not involved.
OTOH….
Let’s say your subsidiary buys or builds something for $6 and sells it to the parent at $10, then the parent sells it to someone else for $20. You don’t get to count $4 of profit for the sub, $4 of profit from adding the sub into the parent, and $10 of profit for the parent — you’d be double-counting the profit between the sub and the parent, AKA “intercompany profit”. This needs to be eliminated during the consolidation process. [You’d also be claiming sales of $10+$20, when your sales to third parties were only $20 — which is where the intercompany profit gets eliminated.]
It can, however, get much weirder than that. What if the thing you bought from your subsidiary is a piece of subsidiary-constructed machinery that you use at the parent? The intercompany profit can be found in the asset account for the equipment and the depreciation thereon. If this happened some years ago, some of that elimination needs to go against retained earnings (profits from prior years).
A lot of this is a bad fit into a transaction-based accounting system, which explains why so much is done on spreadsheets.
One time at work I wrote an “interface control document” (draft)–it eventually became the one that got used. It described the message formats between “our” system and one that had existed for decades but was going to be upgraded a bit to talk to us.
That first draft went to someone on my project who had a lot of experience with the other system, and it came back to me with over a hundred comments/redlines. The thing was bleeding red ink.
As I read through them I could see that almost all of them were reasonable, but there were a couple of comments I couldn’t understand, so I went to ask him questions, with some trepidation. After that number of comments surely he thought I was an idiot or something.
First thing he did was pantomime patting me on the head. He was overall happy with the first draft as a first draft.
That’s a great story, Steve! So when the red comments failed to express the reviewer’s opinion, the solution was to reach out and ask questions in person. His physical signs told a totally different story.
Not quite that.
As I thought about it later, he didn’t render an overall opinion…except maybe by bothering to give it his time.
I’ve been on the giving end of such situations (though much later than this incident). Sometimes what I am looking at is so awful I have no idea where to begin; my thought bubble is “tear it down and start over,” but in that situation (which isn’t work, it’s volunteer effort) I can’t just say that. So ironically if I write very little, it might be because it’s too bad to be salvageable, but if I pick nits, it’s basically OK, just needs tweaking.
In this case, my draft was overall coherent and on the right track, just a lot of details that needed fixing. A lot of details. But that’s better than being totally on the wrong track.
The people who’d worked the problem before it was given to me wrote proposals that required way too much of the other system, chewed up bandwidth (which was very scarce back then, think less-than-dialup) uselessly to match someone’s idea of how an elegant interface should look, and so on; instead I was trying to meet them on their own terms, at least somewhat. There would still be changes, but not impossible ones.
To him, that was the appropriate attitude. And therefore it was worth his time to look at it closely enough to pick the nits.
And IIRC the second draft only had a few comments, things that hadn’t been apparent until all the other clutter was out of the way.
I had occasion to talk with the people on the other project years later. They were still using the document’s final draft.
Oh dear… I never thought of that, Steve. I had the most extensive review rounds with Dell enterprise docs. I did a SAN umbrella doc where I explained how to install, configure, start, and stop about 23 different pieces of hardware to implement a storage network with mirroring (failover/fallback). The order of things mattered a lot.
So the guys who did not comment much might have thought it not worth their time to redirect me if I was totally off the mark. I did sit down with each engineer to discuss the network from their component’s perspective. Versions were so important across the different components and each had to be tested together in the unit and systems labs. In the systems lab, other apps were tested with the SAN too to make sure we didn’t accidentally break something else.
My heart would have been deflated (hissy balloon sound) if I totally missed something and no one said… ‘whoa doggies, let’s try that again’.
I doubt you were totally off the mark; you’d have got SOME indication of it (like being replaced, or maybe someone would have had to take you aside…privately).
Sometimes not getting a lot of comments really does mean you’re close. I was once in a situation to write a maintenance manual, actually four of them for similar things, and THAT went slickly; the on-phone review took less than fifteen minutes for all four put together (it helped that if it was right in one, it was right in all the others, and vice versa, 99% of the time; they could just say “same as the others” and move on. I think that set a record short time, for which I copiously thanked the people who actually worked on the things for their help.
Yes, I did okay on that project and had fun with it. They decided to have my picture taken with Kevin Rollins (the #2 guy at the time). I asked to have my team join us and not just me. If not for our team, I could not have written the book I did. It was a big team of engineers so they allowed about 8 of us, but not too many.
Sometimes organizations have to be structured for the greater good. hehehe. Their pubs department was sized to produce over 6,000 manuials each year so they did not TDY individual writers to engineering. I needed to be with engineers and the rack of hardware they assigned to me, and not be seated miles away in a different building.
Ah well. It was not too many years later that they outsourced all the end user docs to India. That did not work too well, so they outsourced all the enterprise docs to India and brought back the end user docs to round rock since they got so many user complaints.

I’m an artist. I’ve been in art competitions and shows since I was a kid. You’d better be able to take criticism from a wide range of people, or you will be devastated, a lot.
I thought everyone understood that posting delays were the norm for Weird Old Rusty Dysfunctional Platform Running Earth-Shattering Shart Software.
Once upon a time, I dabbled with WordPress. It just didn’t suit me so I went back to HTML and taking advantage of existing scripts like PHP or JQuery. These days, there ae so many templates that can help me make a great website. My main problem is extracting just what I need and ditching the extra without accidentally breaking something. CSS can get fairly complex and it takes a little time to get the hang of how it’s written even when authors use mnemonic element names.
Back in programming classes, I typically used “mnemonic element names” such that my functions typically ended with “return(victim)”. For some reason, the TAs didn’t seem to appreciate this.
(((snort))) I’m not a programmer, but I bet I would still laugh when reading your functions. Ooops… gotta go, kitty demands attention or he will insist on batting my arm. Nite!
The thing is, that’s old school. It’s part of the tradition.
For example — https://www.easytechjunkie.com/what-is-packet-mangling.htm
Tell me that after interacting with the “mangle table” you shouldn’t have “return(victim)”….
Interesting link! I’ve saved it to explore after I have first coffee. Thanks Cthulhu!
Essentially every home or business router engages in “packet mangling”.
Routers have an inside IP address and an outside IP address. Your router might appear as 192.124.249.19 to the internet, but your computer might appear as 192.168.0.105 to your router on your local network. For packets of data to flow from your local net to the outside world, the source and destination addresses need to be modified inside the router in both directions. Data from the internet to “your computer” at 192.124.249.19 needs to be forwarded into your network as being from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.105. Data from your computer to “192.124.249.19” from 192.168.0.105 needs to be forwarded to the internet via 192.168.0.1. These changes are done via “packet mangling”. It’s unusual to even know it’s there.
Everyone does understand that. There was no “reaming out” of an author on 5/30, I think it was. No one attacked DPat. I made comments about the timing of how people customarily post and what would IMO help such situations when things come up. That was not in any way a personal attack on anyone. There is more to it that I could reiterate, but I will stop here since I think further comment could make things worse. But it was not a situation where someone, or people, were upset about the daily being late and criticized the author for it. Not by a long shot.
That wasn’t the incident I had in mind.
Someone was griping a couple of days later about the new post not being up…at about 15 minutes after.
Thanks for the clarification.
Edited the post to include the clarification. Thanks for showing how ambiguous that was.
👍🏼
the reality is, normally, I put stuff together and schedule the post. Of late…not so much. And when there is something else in play, I just keep going.
Done with most music stuff until September, so getting things done should not be an issue.

The eleventh one is definitely deficient in the looks department.

Kinsinger is always the eleventh one.

That’s quite a butch in the bottom row on the right. 😯 🤔
Looks like the weepy sort to me.
Is the tenth one Wolf’s AI “friend”?
And, BTW, the sixth one scares me.
My old IRL girlfriend is one of them! Figures!!!
😂
Hopefully NOT #11
LMAO!!!
Look at Kinzinger 😂🤣😂
Crap! My old girlfriend is one of them!
Yikes! LOL 😆
I think there are only 11 woman in that picture. And no I’m not assigning Kinsinger back to the male population. She’s where she is for a reason and so remains forever and day a woman unless ofcourse woman wish to push him off as an “it”, I’d be fine with that. I’m talking about #1 and #6. Looks like a Before & After picture. 😁
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Don’t think I’m being flippant. This is exactly how I think of rabid leftists. It keeps me strong:

Texas Gov. Abbott:
Other states need to follow suit.
If even 1 state doesn’t follow, it does no good. Illegals will just come through there and go wherever they want.
Briben will take credit for decrease in TX crossing.
I guess I’m dumb (no shock around here) for it looks like their boat is on land…
Likely so. Flat bottom boat intentionally beached. Usually easy enough to push back.
I just thought it was odd that they were In the beached boat as they’d (or at least one would) have to get out to push it in the water, costing time, fwiw.
I’m not sure I actually believe that huge decline in crossings in Texas. Never forget Abbott has had years to address the illegal border crossings.
We need a rule that every time a libel/slander judgement is subsequently reduced for being unreasonable, the amount of the reduction is transferred to the parties that originally set the unreasonable award.
That would provide some degree of accountability.
That sounds like the Hammurabi Code.

I learned it the same way as you, with one “e.” But language and standards change, lamentably, IMO.
TBH, I got sloppy.
As is common, I typed in my comment first, then edited it into shape. It started with “judged”, then got “fudged”, then headed toward “judgment” and didn’t fully make it.
Years ago, I was in a surplus shop here in Silicon Valley, and they had one of those lasers for sale. It was something like an 2000 Watt CO2 laser. Attached to a post next to the laser and its power supply was a notice that essentially said, “if you purchase this laser, we’re going to assume you have the proper safety equipment and permits to run it.”
As a point of interest, if you didn’t hate them enough already, take a wild, wild guess what government authority is responsible for regulating lasers…..
Amusing! Was the surplus shop called Weird Stuff Warehouse?
That was one of the three I frequented, the others being Halted Specialties in Santa Clara and Haltek in Mountain View. IIRC, the laser was at Haltek.
Thanks! I only knew of WWS when I lived there (87-94, and 2003). I wondr if someone will have a surplus shop for solar panels. I’ve read they are hard to recycle or get rid of.
This morning, I was talking to my friend Arbalest about a quest he had taken a couple of years back to get some used solar panels in Carmel, and he said he had recently found a better source in Campbell. So there are some folks trying to recycle them.
All three institutions are no more, unfortunately.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Confidant Peter Navarro Describes Life In Prison, Plans For When He’s Free
It’s a lengthy, interesting article. Navarro is seeing a lot of things regarding how prisons are run and how the health of the inmates suffers, and I think he will be lobbying for change.
More at the link.
Excellent read.
“…the Democrats may rue the day they put me on the inside to see the level of incompetence and the misery among inmates and their families it is causing. Look for more op-eds on this and its emergence as an election issue.”
I can’t wait to see what he does when he gets out. Outreach into inner-city neighborhoods will be interesting, to say the least.
Just a thought — Dr. Peter Navarro for Vice President?
Interesting. You’re the first one to mention it that I know of.
“Convict” ticket for the win!
LOL are there enough wrongly convicted to populate the entire Executive branch yet? It sounds like fun!
All those innocent Jan 6ers!
Guy walks into some type of classroom and pulls a gun.

Hopefully his LAST decision.

Simplicious casts doubt on the reports about Saudi Arabia Petrodollar story…
“The problem is, there is no actual valid source reporting this: if you trace it down to its roots, it is originating from a bunch of fake obscure websites, like the old Sorcha Faal whatdoesitmean dot com types.
Sure, some fairly legitimate sites like Gateway Pundit are reporting it, but they are merely echo-chambering the story without a valid source. So, unfortunately, this story appears to be mostly fake.”

The End of the Petrodollar? No, the Petrodollar is Here to Stay
The internet is suddenly overwhelmed with stories about the end of the petrodollar, claiming that the US contract with Saudi Arabia to sell oil in USD expired on June 9th after fifty years.
However, no such petrodollar contract exists. Consequently, it cannot have an expiration date. The agreement was not to sell oil in dollars but to price oil in dollars and for the Saudi central bank to hold US government debt as reserves.
In return, the US provided security to Saudi Arabia and allowed it to purchase US debt at the issue price before it hit the market. This agreement has no expiration date. Articles claiming otherwise are disinformation.
The story about the end of the petrodollar is not being covered by any major media outlets but has flooded Twitter and appears on fringe websites, particularly those related to hacking, cryptocurrency, and gold.
These sources have frequently predicted the demise of the dollar for the past twenty years. The narrative is also being propagated and rebroadcast by social media accounts linked to China and various Arab and Islamic entities that support Hamas in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

How can an ‘agreement’ have any enforcement measures (for either side) without a contract?
How can a contract have no end date, or renewal date?
If this thing was any more fishy, you could smell it through the computer screen 😂
I’ve wondered about those things in relation to time-shares.
In positive news…
In broad daylight. These guys have no fear.
😎
Yea. Usually they wear some face covering.
This is really good subversive news, because it takes most people some time to grow into their rebellion.
With this going on in broad daylight, and everyone honking their horns in appreciation, everyone is getting comfortable with rebellion and physical acts of sabotage against the totalitarian machine.
As it becomes normalized, more and more people will support it, and more people will actively take part.
Monkey see, monkey do 👍 😁

Terrence Howard is like one of those crazy cult leaders who convince people to commit suicide because the aliens are coming in the tale of a comet or something.
He’s apparently charismatic (that stuff never works on me), but he’s a lunatic.
He also has delusions of grandeur, which is a mental disorder.
Reads it more like a purposeful hustle. Guys a con man. Reminds me of the movie Sting that included Robert Earl Jones playing the part of Luther Coleman who is killed in the opening of the movie for conning some bad guys.
And having watched the video to the end, I believe humoring Terrence by taking him seriously is akin to humoring the guy who thinks he’s Jesus.
You’ve got patience.
Several weeks ago lasted ~30 or 45 seconds. Clicked off the asshole.
Oh, I meant the Tyson video. I couldn’t watch Terrence.
Yet one needs take Tyson and this Dunning – Kruger Effect thing with a grain of salt as it’s the go to to shutting up gut thinking critics.
Bacocarl’s vid seems to be a perfect illustration of such.
It can certainly be a go-to to silence legitimate criticism.
On the other hand, making that very complaint in attempting to defend incompetent bullshit is a go-to of the clueless lunatic, too.
My antennae go up when someone implicitly compares himself to Galileo or Tesla. Someone really trying to get at the truth of things is willing to acknowledge he might be wrong and generally has more humility than that.
Got it.
So your significant other has no charisma? Sad. 😂 😍
I didn’t say he didn’t have any; I said it doesn’t work on me.
He has brains in spades. That’s what works on me.
Nice fancy footwork. 😍

“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 18:18 (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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
THE DARK NIGHT
The evening tide has a golden glow
The sun rests below the horizon show
The birds scurry fast to their nesting place
As the day turns to night to each private space
We calm for sleep our night prayer rises
Thoughts of our day and happy surprises
We think of our loved ones and of our friends
Lift them up in prayer that never ends
We each suffer from trials, tests, and troubles
Sometimes the challenges come in doubles
Other times we are bombarded beyond
Our ability to even respond
If we release the Sword of the Spirit
The enemy flees because he fears it
If we take authority send him to flight
If we speak life and healing we’ll be alright
In the Spirit we can fight from within
We can defeat the demonic and win
Our weapons are more mightier by far
With God by our side not even at par
The darkness is the demonic playground
Where anxiety and depression abound
One is but fear and the other is gloom
In God’s domain there is really no room
When we are weak God is much stronger
No need to accept defeat any longer
If we have faith like the mustard seed
That is the substance of what we need

THANK YOU so much for your poem today, and for all the wonderful inspiring things you bring here every day.
Amen! The root of Anxiety is Fear; the root of Depression is Sadness. Both have the ability to destroy the person, inside to outside.
Prayers ongoing for you here and at Marica’s blog. Be well.

GUESS WHAT? — THE DRAFT IS COMING BACK! And — it’s an AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION SYSTEM — And it was DONE BY THE DEMCOMMUNISTS IN CONGRESS. The provision was inserted into the new NDAA bill that’s likely to pass this coming week:
http://www.theburningplatform.com/2024/06/15/america-prepares-for-global-war-and-restarts-the-draft-for-18-26-year-olds/
by Dennis Kucinich
Yours Truly: The screenshot image tells the tale. The “new Draft” would ALSO include NON-citizen males between the ages of 18 – 26.
So they don’t get to burn draft cards any more?
Unless there’s some way to “burn” a QR code “draft status” that likely may appear on their phones.
Sure.
Print it out, then burn it.
Sadly r-Cons playing along with D-Rats.
They are all rat bastards in my book.
Makes one wonder if the border invasion was all planned way back to provide cannon fodder for a ground war against Russia, It’s as logical as any other reason and it’s likely funded by the same people who are pushing the ukraine war. Wonder if the invaders know what’s in store for them if that is the case.
ALL of it is part of DePop in my mind.
Numerous scenarios playing out in parallel.
Corruptocrats have infested nearly all facets of life in America. I suppose same in many or numerous countries. Hell, EU has its tentacles across EU. Canada, Australia and New Zealand wasting away.
WEF and whoever manages WEF must be pleased with themselves.
DC Draino is going to get some SCOTUS relief very soon.
(DC Draino)
Although Wolf was banned by Twitter, this is actually a quote.
Went back and added a block quote!
How can anyone lose such a case with an honest court system?
That’s how bad the lower courts are now.
The judicial system was filled by the educational system, which was filled with socialist teachers.
The testimony of a PHARMACIST who got a bad case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome after he was coerced to get COVID-19 “vaccinated” — h/t Marica’s blog:
https://vigilantfox.news/p/vaccine-injured-pharmacist-breaks
“Vaccine-Injured Pharmacist Breaks Down Into Tears Testifying Before Ohio State Senate”
15 June 2024
Yours Truly: The pharmacist, Mike Yoha, became paralyzed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after he was “vaccinated” against COVID-19. He wanted to attend his daughter’s volleyball game, but attendees had to be COVID-19 “vaccinated.” PRIOR TO COVID-19 “VACCINATION”, HE WAS HEALTHY. After “vaccination”, at Christmas, he was hit with a COVID-19 infection, was hospitalized, and put on a ventilator. He survived, but started showing symptoms of Guillain-Barre. He was finally diagnosed with this condition after it had pretty much decimated his SPINAL CORD, leaving him unable to speak, walk, or even close his mouth. After being transferred to a nursing home, he eventually began to make slow but steady progress.
It is difficult to understand him, as his ability to speak was badly affected by Guillian-Barre.
It is difficult not to feel badly for him in listening to him testify.
THE FDA KNEW BACK ON 30 APRIL 2021 THAT THE modRNA COVID-19 “VACCINES” CAN CAUSE GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME:
http://www.phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/reissue_5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf
Yours Truly: This is the document that Pfizer-BioNTech gave to the FDA (time-stamped 30 April at 09:26 GMT). It is titled: BNT162b2 5.3.6 Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event Reports. Please refer to page 4 of the APPENDIX 1. LIST OF ADVERSE EVENTS OF SPECIAL INTEREST section of this document. Guillain-Barre syndrome is listed.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a condition in which the body attacks itself (autoimmune disorder) and basically eats away the myelin sheath that covers the nerves. It can also affect the spinal cord myelin sheath covering.
THE FDA KNEW BACK ON 21 JANUARY 2021 THAT THE modRNA COVID-19 “VACCINES” CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD, AMONG MANY OTHER AREAS OF THE “VACCINATED” BODY:
https://icandecide.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/125742_S1_M2_26_pharmkin-tabulated-summary.pdf
Yours Truly: This document was given by Pfizer-BioNTech to the FDA on 21 January 2021 (time-stamped 23:22 GMT) about the BIODISTRIBUTION of BNT162b2 once inside the “vaccinated” body. Page 7 and Page 8 are the biodistribution amounts listings.
Good GRIEF.

Kate Middleton makes first appearance in months for Trooping the Colour
She looks good and I wish her well. Her dress is reminiscent of “My Fair Lady.”
Are we sure these are current pics? She looks dang good for a cancer patient.
Yea I was thinking it is an older pic. But dunno.
The article shows other pics from the event today. I’m waiting for someone to say she wore that dress a couple of years ago or that that isn’t really her, etc. 😂
Fake news is increasing our cynicism.
No, it’s ridiculous conspiracy theories about body doubles, etc., that is increasing TheseTruths’ cynicism.
It’s from today. She does look good
At leave they didn’t talk her into that euthanasia solution.
If you go to the article you can see other pics from the event today.

He sure did and I wish she hadn’t taken the jab
Building an Election Watchdog Army: RNC Co-Chair Lara Trump Announces New Program to Train 100,000 Poll Workers and 500 Lawyers to Safeguard 2024 Election in November
The attorneys who advised the RNC to agree to that consent degree committed legal malpractice. Ditto for the attorneys who signed off on it. The officers of the RNC who signed it are suspect as well. Their best defense is abject stupidity.
While the statute of limitations has long been passed for a malpractice lawsuit, there is no statute on shaming them and their law firms. Their names should be made public along with the RNC officers. If any are dead, it’s irrelevant to me. Staining their legacies is getting off lightly IMO.
Consider it a new RNC tradition – party traitors will be exposed to public ridicule.
Nice!
Congrats!
That’s not me, unfortunately! Someone posted it and I brought it here for informational purposes. 😊
Oh. Ignore my comment a couple up. 
I was all excited for you…maybe another time!
Hope so!
Send pics AND live reports. (Please)
BTW. If you have not been to a Trump rally, they do NOT check tickets at the door. Rally registration is primarily a capture names, phone, email….

Black lady calls out other black women (language warning).
She’s got a point.
At the end she says “I don’t like my sisters. Not all of ’em. But %$# damn 99.999% of ’em.” 🤣
And they wonder why people of other races, including all races, don’t like them. I’ts not racism.
Even Black men often hate them.
It looks like today’s episode is Lil’ Woody’s Greatest Hits 😁
It’s hard to believe that this is actually happening in a court of law. It’s cued up to one of my favorites. I laugh every time I see it.
The prosecutor asks Lil’ Woody how old he is.
He says “Grown”.
The prosecutor asks “What does grown mean?”
Lil’ Woody says “I’m an adult.”
The prosecutor asks “And when you say you’re an adult, what number in years are you?”
Lil’ Woody: “I plead the fifth.”
This is the prosecution’s star witness, and he’s not even gonna tell ’em how old he is…
😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

Perfect witness in Clown Glanville’s Kangaroo Court.
Briben will need some good drugs. My guess, Briben will get thrashed.
CNN announces rules for first presidential debate – muted mics and no notes
CNN announced the rules and additional details for its June 27 presidential debate, setting the stage for the event less than two weeks away.
Notable details include the absence of a studio audience, muted microphones except when a candidate is given time to speak, and each candidate’s presence at a uniform podium. No props or pre-written notes will be allowed on the stage, though candidates will be given a pen, a pad of paper, and a bottle of water.
The moderators, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, “will use all tools at their disposal to enforce timing and ensure a civilized discussion,” according to the network.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/presidential/3046498/cnn-announces-rules-for-first-presidential-debate-muted-mics-and-no-notes/
A pen and a pad of paper.
Will LGB end up doodling ice cream cones?
I expect there would be some way to get messages to him — i.e., cheat. However, since he has on several occasions read aloud written instructions for him to do something, that’s a dicey proposition. He’s liable to say, “They told me to say this,” or something.
Or maybe, he’ll just repeat “say”
As in “say, but my opponent is a convicted felon!”
Much of the Koran is in this form, since allegedly Mohammed was just telling people what Allah told him to do, and did so quite literally. So those “says” in the Koran are just Allah telling Mohammed what to say.
Right. 😅 “Say I’m responsible for lowering the cost of insulin, not you.”
Or worse, depending on how they’re giving him the instruction:
“Say you are responsible for lowering the cost of insulin, not him” (Expecting him to change “you” to ‘I” and “him” to “you” as anyone with brain cells would know to do.)
Best thing Trump could do here would be to agree, “Yes, I did lower the cost of insulin, thank you for acknowledging that” and just ignore the fact that Biden is parroting his instructions.
Yes, that’s even better and more likely.
“He’s liable to say, “They told me to say this,” or something.”
________
It wouldn’t matter if he put his finger up to his earpiece, looked right into the camera and said “My name is Barack Obama, and I endorse this candidate, Joe Briben.”
Everybody already knows FJB is on autopilot, the lights are on but nobody’s home. The race wouldn’t change one bit 😂
If something like that happened, DJT should say “This is ridiculous… Why not just give me the earpiece, so I can debate Obama directly?”
😂🤣😂
ROTFLMAO.
You got me there.
😁
Actually the last person I’d expect to be on the other end of that earpiece would be Obola.
Even if it’s true that he’s still in charge.
If caught, it would be a Big Deal. If it’s just some munchkin working on the campaign, then it’s not nearly as Big of a Deal, well within the normal level of shenanigans Dems are allowed to get away with.
Obola might be directing the munchkin but that would be plausibly deniable if there’s any claim made at all.
I think they’re so brazen that they don’t care on the one hand, and on the other hand, they want to get caught, so they can say ‘What are you going to do about it?‘
Also, the person on the other end of the earpiece has to be someone who knows not just the ins and outs of policy, but is also an expert at turning a phrase during a live debate.
Who is Lightbringer going to trust that job to, besides the crack-smoking islamic narcissist homo from Kenya?
Earpiece.
Of course. Unless he has an implanted wifi receiver.
Gotta be careful with those implants….
Ah, yes. I’ve seen a hearing implant in action. They’re impressive – and the same wifi that delivers programming can deliver a script.
No blood in this short video.
Briben at his B E S T.
Yep, I like him this way…sharp as a marshmallow
LOL!!!

Yup.
This is awesome!

American Heart Association Says Six in Ten Adults May Suffer from Heart Disease Over the Next 30 Years
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/american-heart-association-says-six-ten-adults-may/
Yes, there are many reasons behind a person having heart disease:
Family predisposition
Genetics
Lack of good diet
Lack of exercise
Chronic stress
Infection
and so on.
HOWEVER, if I read the linked article correctly, NOBODY is talking about ONE OTHER OBVIOUS reason why heart disease AND stroke (AMONG ALL AGE GROUPS) will increase —
THE COVID-19 “VACCINES.”
These “vaccines” (actually, unproven gene therapy shots) WERE ENGINEERED to attack the heart tissue, the walls of the blood vessels, the elements and mechanisms of the brain, and the Central Nervous System AND TO CHANGE THE DNA of the “vaccinated” person. Among other deleterious aspects of these injections.
BETWEEN 70% and 80% OF ALL PEOPLE in the United States have had AT LEAST ONE injection of a COVID-19 “vaccine.”
Is this 60 percent number an increase over, say, a decade ago?
If NOT…then there’s no change and the vaxes could not have caused anything.
If SO, then there truly are other factors like shittier diet given that we have more things like highly refined wheat (stripped of all nutrients, it’s just polymerized sugar), high fructose corn syrup, etc., etc. and it would be hard to tell how much of the increase is due to the vax.
SteveInCO
If I’m reading the linked article correctly, it’s unclear on that point.
I probably should have added to my above comment that the ingredients and mechanisms of the COVID-19 “vaccines”, in addition to themselves inducing de novo cardiovascular issues, also can/do aggravate already-existing issues in the “vaccinated” person’s body.
My money remains on the obvious. Injection of mRNA that generates a known cardiotoxic protein and too much of it.
Yep.
Nonetheless I want to know if the incidence of heart attacks is higher than it was before we started mRNA jabs. If it is not then someone has some ‘splaning to do.
Here’s some useful data!
Aaah, that’s better. Or rather, that’s worse.
20 sigma? Holy schitt that’s basically no freaking doubt.
Yes – even if his numbers and methodology are problematic, and the numbers are too great by a factor of 5, something still stinks!
Particle physicists deem a particle to have been found when they have six sigma certainty. This is twenty.
Unless, of course, he bodged his analysis.
From Don Surber’s site, https://donsurber.substack.com/p/highlights-of-the-week-879 —
Whoa….I hadn’t considered that. That would be awesome!
That’ll leave a helluva mark on lefty faces. 😮
Uh, if the lieutenant governor would be such a big improvement over the governor, maybe we don’t want that governor one heartbeat (or trumped up bullshit impeachment) away from the presidency.
Youngkin is doing ok as gov, but so often we’d be looking at a step down as a replacement. Winsome Sears is awesome in her own right.
You make a good point.
Glenn Youngkin is all Carlyle Group/ CCP connections and probably was ‘allowed’ to win.
Also from Surber (via Insty):
FINALLY, billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya said after meeting Trump, “He is charismatic. He’s intellectually sharp, and he’s funny. And when you put that together, he can engage an audience for a long time and be totally extemporaneous. The other thing I would say is that he is very polite. And he’s kind in a way that was disarming and was not what I expected.
“And so I felt that I had misjudged him many years in the past. And so I was very glad that I had an opportunity to sit beside him and to actually interact with him one-on-one. It was really engaging.
“It was not just a pro-America agenda, but it was very clear that he was pro-innovation. So he was really supportive of AI in the details that he talked about, he was very supportive of crypto in those details. And he’s very much low regulation, low taxation. And so when you put that together, it does stand very much in contrast with what the alternative is.
“So it’s us talking, and he says, you guys are a really beautiful couple. And I said, well, thank you. And then he turns to me, and he goes, well, you must be really rich. And I started laughing out loud. Natalie thought he was hilarious.”

The Senate Version of the National Defense Reauthorization Act Really DOES Require 18-Year-Old Women to Register for Draft
Requiring women to register for Selective Service (ie, the draft) really is a part of the 2025 National Defense Reauthorization Act that has been assembled in the Senate.
Keep in mind, in order for this to be in the print version of the Senate bill, the Senate Armed Services Committee had to vote to approve it. Repeat that sentence if needed. The Senate Armed Service Committee, meaning every member on that committee, had to support the change to make women register for the draft.
Look at the GOP MEMBERS OF THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE HERE – Rob Wicker (Mississippi), Deb Fischer (Nebraska), Tom Cotton (Arkansas), Mike Rounds (South Dakota), Jodi Ernst (Iowa), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Kevin Cramer (North Dakota), Rick Scott (Florida), Tommy Tuberville (Alabama), Markwayne Mullin (Oklahoma), Ted Budd (North Carolina) and Eric Schmitt (Missouri) are all members of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/
So are they going to make this registration for females for the Draft automatic, as it is for males in the NDAA bill?
WTH is up with the “Republicans” on the Armed Services Committee?
Why would it have to be “every member” of the committee to approve? Since when does a committee vote have to be unanimous?
I’ve never heard of such a thing before. Somebody educate me, please.
What would be the point? You are CLEARLY immune to education since you still support that fascist, racist convicted FELON Donald Trump.
(/sarc, as if it’s needed)
Uh … okay.
