Rand Paul:
“Officials would not admit the vaccine was not stopping spread because it might weaken the legal case for mandates.”
_____________
There isn’t anything which justify ‘mandates’.
You can’t forcibly inject another human being with anything, ever. At least not unless he has been found guilty of a capital offense.
This was covered in the Nuremberg Trials and the Nuremberg Code.
………………
Brave Ai: The Nuremberg Code was established in 1947 following the trial of 23 Nazi doctors accused of conducting lethal medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners.
While the code does not explicitly mention “injections,” its first principle mandates that the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.
………………
.
And second, at least half the population won’t go on a date with a man anyway, no matter what the government says.
i think if fauci were to face a just outcome, it should be LETHAL INJECTION. it would be poetic justice.
only make it acid and cut out his vocal cords so we don’t have to hear him scream.
(apologies, mamma’s in a mood this morning.)
Lots of needles. Some Covid Hot Lots, some other stuff.
that would take too long and might not be painful enough Gail.
AHHHhhhh but he does not know WHEN the really nasty shots will be coming.
Nice shooting.
IIRC, Obozo trashed, in essence, the Nuremberg Code – much like trashing the Smith-Mundt Act in re abstaining from domestic propaganda.
It sure seems like he was playing the part of “teeing it up” for HRC to destroy America.
Coordinated collusion! The pandemic was supposed to last a LOT longer, to get full FDA approval.
Partners in crime! We dodged the bullet, thanks to VSG PDJT…
BASTARDS!
And then the question becomes:
WHY does the DOJ want to MANDATE a shot that does not work?
MONEY?
Depopulation?
or both…
Power, too! It’s clear that they were worried about losing the power to force shots on people.
I think the power is the driver of it all.
I think megalomania is just another word encompassing many of the seven deadly sins, and it lies at the heart of evil men (and women).
Given absolute power over others, most often the result is corruption. The corruption in the case was on a massive scale at the Fauci level. But remember all the small town mayors, state governors, grocery clerks, and Walmart greeters that turned into tyrants when the opportunity arose. They were only “petty” tyrants because they were in lesser positions of power. How many of them, given Fauci’s reach, would have been exactly like him? Almost all, in my opinion.
One think Covid taught me is that unbridled sin simmers just under the surface of a whole lot of people who don’t know Jesus. And some who say they do. The world has gotten very far away from God, and Covid showed it.
Amen!
The world has gotten very far away from God, and Covid showed it.
If by using ‘showed’ you mean ‘exposed’ I agree 100%.
Yes.
End Wokeness:
She always apears to be talking on a lower grade level to people, just like Obama did. They both use techniques to try to draw the audience along with them. IMO she comes across as addressing an elementary class, and she is insufferable. That’s in addition to her destructive, unAmerican policies.
I think she is angling for the socialists’ vote with this agenda. Might as well take the whole Dermocratic Party down with the DSA.
Will she at least commit to NO MORE WYMYN on the (not)Supreme packed Court?
If she expects to win my vote, she’s gotta give me sumpthin!
LOL!!!
Not. a. chance. 
There is something to be said about revising the number of justices on SCOTUS, as well as revising appellate courts.
There are currently 13 Courts of Appeals. 1-11 are specific states and territories, the 12th is the DC Circuit, which serves to grant “home court advantage” to the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. [which I find obscene], and the last is for certain technical matters (such as disputes between states).
These Circuits can be as small as the Third Circuit (Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Virgin Islands) or First Circuit (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island)….or as expansive as the Ninth Circuit (Alaska, Arizona, Guam, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and the Northern Mariana Islands).
The bulk of the Circuits were set up in 1891, with minor tweaks in 1893 (DC Circuit), 1929 (10th Circuit split out of 8th), and 1982 (Federal Circuit reorganized from smaller courts).
The West Coast has obviously changed its stature between 1891 and the present, while the rust belt has been on a long sad slope of decline. This has left the Circuits wildly unbalanced.
If I had my druthers, I would support a rebalancing of the Circuit Courts to result in 13 with approximately the same anticipated caseload. The DC Circuit should be utterly abolished, and its grounds sown with salt. This leaves us with the pleasant prospect of 13 SCOTUS justices, one from each Circuit.
Phase-in rules are left as an exercise for the reader…
I wouldn’t change nothing until the communists are wiped out.
Otherwise, it’s hardly different than changing getaway drivers in the middle of a bank heist.
wait—while they’re still driving? because if they take the time to pull over, it loses a little something.
She’s condescending and patronizing and STUPID.
All I can think when she speaks is, how dare you talk to people like you are smarter than them, you absolute moron?
Her staff absolutely hated her – most ended up quitting early.
Same with the Hildabeast – both her staff and the WH Marines were abused daily.
It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? They both come across as such pleasant people to be around.
That’s some good shit you’re smoking.
Don’t bogart that joint, my friend. Pass it over to me.

Nancy Guthrie Died ‘Shortly After She Was Taken’ – Pima County Sheriff’s Department Releases Ransom Notes
The first note asked for ransom money.
How horrific for the family to receive that. I wonder how things might have been different if the contents of that note had been released to the public.
“…A second ransom note sent a few days later claimed that Nancy had died and had been buried.”
____________
That’s not a very good example of using leverage to get the ransom demand met.
RIGHT???
“She is buried in nature now.”
___________
Could they be a little more vague next time?
If they were sorry, they would reveal the location of the body, so she could have a proper burial.
And at least one of the kidnappers / killers appears to be female, because it sounds to me like a woman wrote that note.
Buried in nature sounds like the corpse was naked.
Like Bensonmum.
I agree with you that a woman wrote it. I suspect she is the wife of one of the kidnappers.
I would bet good money that they fled to Mexico.
BQQM!!! Yes.
The woman’s involvement was likely predicated on “nothing happens to the old lady”. The reason she wasn’t just killed by the male accomplices – what you suggest – she’s married to one.
Perhaps she is a female friend or relative of any illegal who worked for or near the Guthries.
This is all pretty sick. Pima really fd up here.
Yup.
When this first happened, I speculated that the old lady cut off the ‘welfare’ that Savannah’s deadbeat sister was getting.
Her husband tried to intimidate the old lady physically and she died during the altercation.
So they had to come up with a plan. They decided to fake it as a kidnapping but they weren’t criminally experienced enough to run the plan all the way out. That’s why none of the dots connected properly.
They were winging it, and not very well.
This was all a tragic unintended domestic dispute gone haywire. Now because of the threat of criminal prosecution hanging over both of them, the perps will likely keep quiet and the truth will never be told.
It’s a good theory, based on what I know. Hopefully the investigators know enough to exclude it – or prosecute it, if they find evidence.
Another side-effect of Ozempic drugs: temporal wasting.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2026/07/31/ozempic-temporal-hollowing/91113282007/
😱
I’m going to start noticing temples now…
“…Temporal hollowing can be treated a number of ways. The most common is with filler. Others may opt for surgical intervention, like a fat transfer.”
__________
Quicker and cheaper to just use a hammer. Give yourself a good crack, it’ll swell up like you’re a teenager again.
Like a teenager who got hit in the temple with a hammer maybe, but still.
thanks, I needed that!
😁
“I’m going to start noticing temples now…”
__________
Yep. I’m already scanning for temples like a Terminator.
“That’s why it’s essential to only seek filler − or any medical intervention for that matter − from a legitimate medical professional.”
___________
So I guess the local tattoo artiste is out of the question, then.
Seems like a legitimate medical professional would never inject your temple with anything in the first place.
Might use a hammer, though…
Like Maxwell did.
“If something goes wrong, you could go blind.”
___________
That could even be the thing that goes wrong.
The list just grows…
“…Temporal hollowing can be treated a number of ways. The most common is with filler. Others may opt for surgical intervention, like a fat transfer.”
____________
Just heat an Exacto knife over a flame to sterilize it, make a little incision behind the hairline so you don’t see the scar, and slide some Silly Putty in there.
Apply a dab of Neosporin and a Band-Aid to cap it off, and you’re good to go.
Easy peasy.
Use a Thanksgiving turkey injector and everything will smell like rosemary and sage.
doctor doctor…stop…I’m cured!!!
Amen!
“Do exactly what you’re supposed to do,” Dubrow says. Unfortunately, he adds, many people don’t.”
___________
If they were doing what they’re supposed to do, they wouldn’t be taking Ozempic in the first place.
This is like handing an arsonist a book of matches, and telling him not to light any until he gets out in the parking lot.
If he lights your waiting room on fire on his way out, that’s kinda your own fault…
“When people take matters into their own hands, that’s when they’re more likely to suffer from temporal hollowing.”
____________
Well there goes most of my best ideas.
“They don’t really understand that it’s designed to slowly build up and get to a point where your food noise is gone,”
____________
Well there’s the problem, Doc. If they would just kill their food before they eat it, it won’t make any noise.
No shit.
“Food noise?”
These people are idiots.
“Doctor, my double Big Mac with extra cheese and mayo is just begging me to get three fried pies to go! What do I do?”
“Well, lardass, here’s a pill to make it be quiet.”
Good grief.
The entire idea of working hard to earn one’s meal – not just in the monetary sense, but in the bodily sense as well – is gone.
Yep.
““Don’t go too fast. Don’t try to go up in the dose too quickly. Do exactly what you’re supposed to do,” Dubrow says.”
How about not taking them at all?
How about getting some exercise, eating less junk and more healthy food? How about just not being a glutton?
These “miracle cures” for things all too often turn out later to have been very harmful. Pharmaceutical companies don’t give a shit about humanity, they care about money. Don’t be a guinea pig for mini-Mengeles and filthy-Faucis.
Amen!
Every drug one takes is a bag of side effects waiting to happen. The newer the drug, the fewer long-term, very serious side-effects are known.
AVOID!!!
Gotta say – “temporal wasting” and “temporal hollowing” sound like “cool” sci-fi problems to be dealt with on Time Tunnel, Star Trek, and Stargate.
Just make sure you notice those islamic temples, too.
Why eating too much protein could shorten your life
Details at the link.
Sounds like another attack on meat eating.
I like Saturday AM. No homeschooling and Bible study starts later in the evening. I have time to “weigh” in on subjects like this.
You are correct IMO, Gail. It is an attack.
If you do not get enough exercise and resistance type work done with any nutrition plan you are hurting you health. Sedentary lifestyles kill.
With the Keto I have been doing I include stretching, exercises, walking and resistance work via dumbbells or good ole fashioned outdoors work. I am down 33 lbs. now and in much better physical condition than even 5+ years ago. I really do not want to lose much more weight, just get in even better shape. So I will probably increase the resistance work in the late fall and winter while increasing the good carbs a bit more.
With meat eating, for me it is about the variety. Don’t get stuck on the just one or two. Balance while adding in seafood, chicken, turkey. Always eat eggs – the yolks are critical to good health. Use real butter, extra virgin olive oil, whole milk dairy products (just limit the amounts), real mayo, etc. I never even look at how much meat/protein I eat each day – my body tells me what I need and want.
I am not strict with exact Keto “dieting”. I eat Keto breads/buns, Lewis makes some really good low sugar/high fiber Hawaiian and Sourdough as examples. I keep carbs under 30 per day. I can count on one hand the number of “carb” days I’ve had in the past 6 months and none exceeded 60 carbs. I do what I need to do to keep the dang sugar out of my system and stop eating the stuff that increases it so the fat will be burned instead. I go with healthy carbs from natural foods, none of the “processed” stuff. No “diet” foods. I will drink splenda, stevia, etc. sweetened coffee and tea. No sodas, been off them for decades. I season foods just the way I like them. Snacks are nuts, cheeses, berries, and low carb plant protein bars. You can eat all you want of those and still lose or maintain desired weight.
We have no desire for sweet foods anymore. That went away in the first month. I never go “hungry” anymore. If I get hungry, I eat. I just never eat less than a couple of hours before going to sleep at night. Typical cut off is around 7 PM for me.
The pharm solution is rarely the right solution. People are killing themselves and creating more Big Pharm. medical industry and funeral home income streams with that crap. if you need an appetite suppressant, there are good ones out there in capsule form that are all natural GLP1’s that include probiotics for gut health. TWC has one (Appetite) that I used for a month to assist and did not need afterwards. I have been an evening snacker forever. Not anymore, it got me over the hump while I removed the sugar. There are a number of others out there that are probably equally good.
Amen to the eggs. Eggs, dairy and red meat are the rich B12 sources! Very important in the elderly. Vegans are at something like 80% having B12 deficiency. They need to get B12 from special yeast, and the few other good vegan sources – most do not.
My wife pays attention to this stuff.
She says Splenda is very bad.
Actually, a very thorough longevity researcher, Victor Longo, has been saying this for years. His early work showed that sugar speeds up aging and shortens life (in vitro). His later work, involving interviewing healthy people over the age of 100 years old supported research showing that a diet high in vegetables and moderate protein intake gives the best longevity outcomes.
The point in the above quote is that your protein intake should be appropriate for your exercise/activity levels. And that makes sense to me.
I think the really high-protein diets they’re talking about are more like body-building.
When keto turns into body-building, or even worse, keto without exercise, it’s no longer keto, IMO. Yes, it reduces weight, but it doesn’t build or maintain muscle
IMO, staying away from high-carb, addictive, highly processed snacks (basically “chips” of any kind), is key.
Yes – this. ^^^^
Yes. What I took from the article is basic common sense to do things in moderation, and that if you’re not active, maybe you don’t need as much protein as you thought.

Somebody, sometime, somewhere, is going to move him down the path to his eternal judgment.
Yours Truly holds Dr. Anthony Fauci as being involved in the death of anyone who has died from adverse effects induced by the COVID-19 “vaccines” that they took; and in the death of anyone who has died from a COVID-19 virus infection.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is also involved in any ill effects on anyone who is shed on by COVID-19 “vaccines.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci is also involved with the ongoing negative side effects induced in the body of anyone who has ever taken a COVID-19 “vaccine.”
I think what we forget is, Fauci is 85 years old.
He’s on his way out the door of this Earthly plane, and there’s nothing he can do about that.
He could repent and throw himself on the mercy of Jesus. But I wouldn’t hold my breath on that, because he appears to think he is god.
I don’t seek vengeance because that isn’t my place, and not what God says I’m supposed to do. BUT it is the place of our leaders, who have a different standard set forth by God for their pursuit of justice while on this Earth. And they have failed us. Even Trump has said he won’t challenge Fauci’s pardon, which makes me…well, I have no words for what I feel about that.
I agree. Our human MAGA leader has feet of clay like the rest of us. He may not challenge the pardon but others can and should. I pray it never happens, but if lost his marbles and it could be proven, i would not want his pardons from that point on the be valid either.
Autopens should not even exist at the POTUS level. Corrupt as all get out.
Amen!
IMO Trump will be solid long beyond this term. In fact, I think “Trump 2028” is extra painful for Demmunists to hear, just because of that level of Trump health.

Sec Rubio: The International Criminal Court is an illegitimate international organization. They’ve made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you’re not a member of that court, they can come after you. What that literally means in the future is that American service members, political leaders and others could find themselves under indictment by this International Criminal Court.
To know a little bit about it, Jack Smith used to work there. We’ve now begun an effort to really try to bring that court to heel.

The question is whether we will see Article 5 [of NATO] activated against Ukraine for attacking Turkey. — GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
Remember Turkey is a NATO member and Ukraine is NOT … OOOooops.
Trying to find information on this outside of Badlands is difficult but not surprising. The Fake News does NOT want people to know Ukraine is attacking a NATO member state.
…..
Has the Ukrainian military gone mad? An attack on 13 ships… (I am blocked from this site.)

Honestly, I think officials in this administration are in greater danger of assassination by Ukrainian whackos, than they are by Iranian whackos.
👍
At the rate they are going, we will soon have a claim on the entire country’s [Ukraine’s] assets. IOW, the value of the collateral [natural resources ] will equal the money already provided.
😄. 👍
why would ukraine provoke NATO?
Two thoughts come to mind:
First, NATO is dying – at the proper time, I believe the US will withdraw our alliance.
They are trapped for cash, with EU countries siphoning off the people’s money (usurping private pension funds for public / political use) for UKR.
Second, NATO is trapped, fully committed to “see it through,” and cannot backtrack. It’s a horrible position for NATO / EU, and UKR knows it.
Why not exercise that leverage?
NATO is an effete organization…
“Let’s see what happens.”
‘strapped for cash’
A hint of masochism?
Good analysis. I agree, NATO is dying. I look forward to the death certificate being issued.
Hope they close the eyes (5) first!!!
ISWYDT
Hmmm.
If I were the See-Eye-Aye, or even President Trump, and I was tired of Zelenski’s bullshit, and I wanted a swift end to this conflict, what would I do?
Would I put in place some people to “encourage,” shall we say, attacks on a NATO ally? So that Article 5 would come into play? So that the United States could put an END to the war with prejudice?
Maybe I would.
Pass the popcorn bowl, please.
(1) I’ve always regarded Ukraine as a poison pill for NATO. Turkey was a bridge too far, but Ukraine is a bridge farther.
(2) There are some countries and oligarchs that want WWIII. Ukraine is a nice starting place. It’s filled with corrupt nut-jobs, power-hungry demons, and laundromat operators.
(3) Russia’s strategy of patience is causing problems for Ukraine, and they need to incite things.
(4) Turkey is bottom of the pecking order in NATO. Ukraine is acting much like criminals do when they join a gang and want to move up in the pack.

Has the Ukrainian military gone mad? An attack on 13 ships resulted in one Turkish crew member killed and several injured; Russia urgently deployed warships.
2026-08-02 09:12 HKT
Amid Ukraine’s recent intensified crackdown on shipping in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, a Turkish-flagged coal bulk carrier was attacked by a drone off the Russian port of Novorossiysk on Wednesday, killing at least one Turkish crew member and injuring several others. According to Turkey’s Turkey Today newspaper on Wednesday, the Istanbul-registered “Reyhan Sari” was transporting coal from the Russian port of Taman to Trabzon, Turkey, when it was attacked by the drone.
One crew member working in the engine room died at the scene of the explosion. Media reports, citing a statement from the operating company, said the ship was still able to navigate under its own power and reach waters near Samsun. Two injured crew members were subsequently airlifted to a local hospital in Samsun for treatment. One crew member told Ihras news agency that the attack occurred around 1:30 a.m.
He stated, “They hit my cabin with a drone. Later, they pulled me out from under the rubble.” He added, “While I was in the medical room, a second explosion occurred. They completely destroyed the deck. There were dead and wounded there.” Robert Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian drone force, stated that Ukrainian forces attacked 13 vessels in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, including one oil tanker, 10 cargo ships, and two tugboats.
This is not the first time a Turkish vessel has been targeted by a suspected Ukrainian drone attack. In March of this year, an oil tanker belonging to a Turkish shipping company was attacked by a drone near the Bosphorus Strait after loading oil in Novorossiysk. That ship had previously been blacklisted by Ukraine.
In recent weeks, Russia has also intensified its strikes against Ukrainian military logistics targets in the Black Sea and Odessa region, targeting cargo ships and facilities that Moscow believes are involved in transporting military supplies or supporting Kyiv’s drone operations. Russia claims these strikes aim to weaken Ukraine’s ability to obtain external military aid through Black Sea ports and disrupt its drone warfare supply chains, thereby applying greater pressure on the southern front.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that on Wednesday night, Russian forces attacked port infrastructure in Odessa used for unloading and storing military cargo, as well as fuel and lubricating oil storage tanks used by the Ukrainian army. The attack triggered multiple explosions and fires, causing disruptions to operations in parts of the port. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.
The Kremlin emphasized that strikes against ships transporting military supplies to Ukraine will continue. This is part of a broader Russian operation aimed at cutting off Kyiv’s maritime logistics in response to Ukraine’s “terrorist attacks” against Russian civilian and energy infrastructure. Russia stated that such operations will continue as the situation develops until it deems the threat effectively eliminated.
https://inf.news/en/military/452435cdc816c474b72e3fbe57035697.html
Thanks PAVACA,
So it was 13 ships not 13 TURKISH ships.
The question is whether we will see Article 5 activated against Ukraine for attacking Turkey. That would certainly present a quagmire to navigate for the Uniparty regime.
Sounds like a job for the Impossible Missions Force. Where is Ethan Hunt?
Probably on the side of the Burj Khalifa, at about the 85th floor.
hmmmmmmmm…

More on the Lincoln Reflection Pool
So yesterday Jeanine Pirro, DC attorney, dropped the charges against Olympian David Hearn.
This is a total screw up IMO. With the constant coverage by the media that President Trump’s repair of the reflection pool was a total vanity screw up that didn’t work. It was the contractor’s fault and a waste of money. The administration rushed out to defend the repair and contractor.
A Grand Jury indicted Mr. Hearn for a felony for destruction of government property. Jeanine Pirro had stated there is a significant amount of evidence that justifies the indictment.
By dropping the charge yesterday just brings this whole story back in the media to give them more ammunition to bash President Trump and they will delight in doing so.
Pirro cited new evidence from the Dept. of Interior was the reason for dropping the charges.
With the amount of coverage this had in the media you would think the DOJ would have explored every possible cause of the problem, especially the contractor and Dept. of Interior before bringing charges. They really look bad with this now that they dropped charges. Rush to indict? Weaponized DOJ, President Trumps disaster-I can hear it now.
Hearn is probably a real leftist jerk, but I hate it when we give the left opportunities to bash the administration. I have always like Pirro, but I can’t believe the Dept. of Interior had evidence that something else caused the problem rather than Hearn, especially with all the media coverage this had.
JMO-morning frustration
This situation pisses me off.
I suspected from the beginning that a lot of the damage in the Reflecting Pool was just poor workmanship. But everybody is so pissed off and divided right now, knee-jerk reactions are the norm.
Our country is right on the verge of an explosion, in my opinion. People are so mad all the time it’s scary. I see it every day.

✟
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR JOHN 3
Christ’s discourse with Nicodemus. (1-21) The baptism of John of Christ John’s testimony. (22-36)
1-8 Nicodemus was afraid, or ashamed to be seen with Christ, therefore came in the night. When religion is out of fashion, there are many Nicodemites. But though he came by night, Jesus bid him welcome, and hereby taught us to encourage good beginnings, although weak. And though now he came by night, yet afterward he owned Christ publicly. He did not talk with Christ about state affairs, though he was a ruler, but about the concerns of his own soul and its salvation, and went at once to them. Our Saviour spoke of the necessity and nature of regeneration or the new birth, and at once directed Nicodemus to the source of holiness of the heart. Birth is the beginning of life; to be born again, is to begin to live anew, as those who have lived much amiss, or to little purpose. We must have a new nature, new principles, new affections, new aims. By our first birth we were corrupt, shapen in sin; therefore we must be made new creatures. No stronger expression could have been chosen to signify a great and most remarkable change of state and character. We must be entirely different from what we were before, as that which begins to be at any time, is not, and cannot be the same with that which was before. This new birth is from heaven, ch. #1:13|, and its tendency is to heaven. It is a great change made in the heart of a sinner, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It means that something is done in us, and for us, which we cannot do for ourselves. Something is wrong, whereby such a life begins as shall last for ever. We cannot otherwise expect any benefit by Christ; it is necessary to our happiness here and hereafter. What Christ speak, Nicodemus misunderstood, as if there had been no other way of regenerating and new-moulding an immortal soul, than by new-framing the body. But he acknowledged his ignorance, which shows a desire to be better informed. It is then further explained by the Lord Jesus. He shows the Author of this blessed change. It is not wrought by any wisdom or power of our own, but by the power of the blessed Spirit. We are shapen in iniquity, which makes it necessary that our nature be changed. We are not to marvel at this; for, when we consider the holiness of God, the depravity of our nature, and the happiness set before us, we shall not think it strange that so much stress is laid upon this. The regenerating work of the Holy Spirit is compared to water. It is also probable that Christ had reference to the ordinance of baptism. Not that all those, and those only, that are baptized, are saved; but without that new birth which is wrought by the Spirit, and signified by baptism, none shall be subjects of the kingdom of heaven. The same word signifies both the wind and the Spirit. The wind bloweth where it listeth for us; God directs it. The Spirit sends his influences where, and when, on whom, and in what measure and degree, he pleases. Though the causes are hidden, the effects are plain, when the soul is brought to mourn for sin, and to breathe after Christ. Christ’s stating of the doctrine and the necessity of regeneration, it should seem, made it not clearer to Nicodemus. Thus the things of the Spirit of God are foolishness to the natural man. Many think that cannot be proved, which they cannot believe.
Christ’s discourse of gospel truths, ver. #11-13|, shows the folly of those who make these things strange unto them; and it recommends us to search them out. Jesus Christ is every way able to reveal the will of God to us; for he came down from heaven, and yet is in heaven. We have here a notice of Christ’s two distinct natures in one person, so that while he is the Son of man, yet he is in heaven. God is the “HE THAT IS,” and heaven is the dwelling-place of his holiness. The knowledge of this must be from above, and can be received by faith alone.
Jesus Christ came to save us by healing us, as the children of Israel, stung with fiery serpents, were cured and lived by looking up to the brazen serpent, #Nu 21:6-9|. In this observe the deadly and destructive nature of sin. Ask awakened consciences, ask damned sinners, they will tell you, that how charming soever the allurements of sin may be, at the last it bites like a serpent. See the powerful remedy against this fatal malady. Christ is plainly set forth to us in the gospel. He whom we offended is our Peace, and the way of applying for a cure is by believing. If any so far slight either their disease by sin, or the method of cure by Christ, as not to receive Christ upon his own terms, their ruin is upon their own heads. He has said, Look and be saved, look and live; lift up the eyes of your faith to Christ crucified. And until we have grace to do this, we shall not be cured, but still are wounded with the stings of Satan, and in a dying state.
Jesus Christ came to save us by pardoning us, that we might not die by the sentence of the law. Here is gospel, good news indeed. Here is God’s love in giving his Son for the world. God so loved the world; so really, so richly. Behold and wonder, that the great God should love such a worthless world! Here, also, is the great gospel duty, to believe in Jesus Christ. God having given him to be our Prophet, Priest, and King, we must give up ourselves to be ruled, and taught, and saved by him. And here is the great gospel benefit, that whoever believes in Christ, shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life.
God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and so saving it. It could not be saved, but through him; there is no salvation in any other. From all this is shown the happiness of true believers; he that believeth in Christ is not condemned. Though he has been a great sinner, yet he is not dealt with according to what his sins deserve…
A good man acts truly and sincerely in all he does. He desires to know what the will of God is, and to do it, though against his own worldly interest. A change in his whole character and conduct has taken place. The love of God is shed abroad in his heart by the Holy Ghost, and is become the commanding principle of his actions. So long as he continues under a load of unforgiven guilt, there can be little else than slavish fear of God; but when his doubts are done away, when he sees the righteous ground whereon this forgiveness is built, he rests on it as his own, and is united to God by unfeigned love. Our works are good when the will of God is the rule of them, and the glory of God the end of them; when they are done in his strength, and for his sake; to him, and not to men. Regeneration, or the new birth, is a subject to which the world is very averse; it is, however, the grand concern, in comparison with which every thing else is but trifling. What does it signify though we have food to eat in plenty, and variety of raiment to put on, if we are not born again? if after a few mornings and evenings spent in unthinking mirth, carnal pleasure, and riot, we die in our sins, and lie down in sorrow? What does it signify though we are well able to act our parts in life, in every other respect, if at last we hear from the Supreme Judge, “Depart from me, I know you not, ye workers of iniquity?”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Prayer for My Son in Heaven (KJV Style)
O Lord, our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
As it is in heaven, so in earth.
I lift up my heart to Thee,
My son, now in the light of Thy presence,
And I pray for Thee, O Lord,
That Thou wilt grant him peace,
And fill his soul with Thy eternal love.
Surround him with the angels of Thy mercy,
And let his spirit rest in the everlasting light.
May he find joy in Thy presence,
And be free from sorrow and pain.
O Lord, I am a mother/father,
And my heart is heavy with grief.
But I trust in Thy mercy,
And I know that he is safe in Thy care.
Thou art near to the brokenhearted,
And Thou wilt comfort me,
And help me to find peace in remembering him.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
WHO AM I
Who am I that God cares for me
Who is it I am supposed to be
What is it I am called to do
What makes me so worthy of You
Have you ever pondered God
Have you ever wondered broad
Have you ever concentrated
Have you ever contemplated – God
Did you know that you are blessed
With gifts and talents and zest
Have you ever considered why
You are the apple of God’s eye
We have jobs, titles, and responsibilities
Accountabilities acceptabilities permeabilities
No matter how confusing it all may be
God has a purpose and plan for thee
When guided by the Holy Spirit
We are inspired if we can hear it
The voice of God from within
Where to go when to begin
We believe and we receive
Thus we are able to achieve
Because God wills it all for us
We obey – He gives us the plus
We are here on an eternal quest
On our pathway we are but a guest
This life is our test to be worthy
For where we will end this journey
Have you ever been asked
To do something overtasked
Impossible for you but not for Him
God did not choose you on a whim
God knows the beginning and the end
It is your free will that may not bend
To His Will we must be fully aware
Only way to know is through prayer
Whatever He asks of you on cue
You must be willing and able to do
You must obey His daily demand
It is not a wish – it is a command
So if you are daily thinking
How to God’s plan you be linking
Listen to what the Spirit asks of you
Then you will know just what to do
If failure plagues you – anxiety too
If life in general is making you blue
If you are lost without a compass
Get off your bum kick up a rumpus
The trick to making the duress stop
Is to get up and move till you plop
Override the mental with exercise
Be not fearful – just be otherwise
God has a remedy for whatever ails you
Tap into His Spirit – sit not and just stew
For greater is He who lives within
Than he whose goal is to mire in sin
Know that God wants only what is best
For you to successfully complete the test
Develop those gifts and talents for your story
Give Him the effort He deserves for His Glory

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/maximal-saturday-august-1-2026-c
Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! Your Weekend Edition roundup includes: the story of how progressives sued the mail-ballot Executive Order in two different courts at once and accidentally lawfared themselves into a circuit split, delivering the real voting fight to the Supreme Court while everybody stood around watching the SAVE Act; why a humble barcode may accomplish what sixty Senate votes never will; the Canada tariff war everyone assumed was over, back at the maximum legal setting, with a hit list — wine, cement, hockey sticks — that reads like the receipt from a Winnipeg bachelor party, with an exemption list shaped suspiciously like the only two provinces that still like us; Alberta’s independence referendum landing later this year, entirely by coincidence, I’m sure; and young conservatives rehabilitating Richard Nixon on a strict regimen of rap edits and merch, a comeback going considerably better than anything the man managed while he was alive.
Thanks for posting C&C daily – always a good synopsis of current events!
And in other news from the Anons on Q Research:
(1) “An American activist is facing prosecution for allegedly using Canadian software to wipe the contents of his phone during an Atlanta airport search in a case legal experts describe as ‘troubling’ and ‘entirely unprecedented.’
“[…] When U.S. border agents asked to access his phone, Tunick allegedly provided a password that wiped the device’s contents.”
https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/article/american-activist-charged-after-phone-wiped-during-airport-search-in-entirely-unprecedented-case/
Another anon replied, “f*** that[,] a warrant is needed to access your phone”
(2) Unrelated Anon comment:
“McConnell’s current rotting corpse condition is still seemingly unknown.”
(Anons don’t sugar-coat their opinions, nor anything else that infringes FREE SPEECH! Lol)
The wiped phone should be interesting. There was no warrant and he was denied the right to a lawyer.
On the other hand the laws within 100 miles of the US border are different than normal laws.
What?! Do you mean because it’s an international airport?
Atlanta is more than 100 miles from the coast.
Technically, the international arrivals area is akin to no-mans-land. The inspections are because someone is trying to enter the U.S.A.
An example of this was a few years ago someone didn’t have the right papers and was denied entry to Russia at the Moscow Airport. He was stuck in the international area for quite some time. Kindly Russians gave him food and bedding. I don’t know the outcome.

The last six words of the article’s link / title gives it away – they are STILL pushing the “warming” canard!
Why admit everything EXCEPT the final truth?
We’re in a cooling phase / epoch – thousands+ years – and they like to assert the opposite of reality.
Unless / until they wish to try to pull off the same scam down the line.
“Save the “warming” propaganda; trash everything else.
No admission, no contrition, no integrity. Incorrigible.
These people!
WE are the “elite;” THEY are the fallen…
Check out my article: GREENHOUSE, ICEHOUSE OR CLIMATIC MADHOUSE?
And the elite darn well KNOW we are NOT headed for the greenhouse! (1974 CIA Report)
8.1.26: Central Banks make Significant GOLD purchases – WHY? What this means for all of us. PRAY!
And We Know
https://rumble.com/v7dkotw-8.1.26-central-banks-make-significant-gold-purchases-why-what-this-means-fo.html
They are hedging their bets – because if gold reaches $8,500 – $9,000 per ounce, the EU Minister (Ursula von Leden [sp?]) said that that level would *bankrupt* ALL the Central Banks the Roths own.
The more gold they buy, the less exposure they are liable for.
It’s somewhat of an arbitrage tactic, playing two markets’ pricings against one another.
Yet, it’s a *tremendous* tell that their very existence is dependent on gold – REAL, physical gold, not paper promises…
Or on the derivatives market.
Yes – “derivatives’ qualify as paper promises.
It’s the same thing – valuing “contracts” rather than the underlying assets.
That’s how the scales are rigged, having derivatives’ clout overwhelm ACTUAL clout.
Manipulation to the nth degree!
REVOKING visas
President Donald Trump’s State Department has started revoking visas for foreign nationals arrested for drunk driving, agency officials announced this week.
“The Trump Administration is keeping reckless foreign drivers off our streets by revoking visas and denying further travel to the United States,” officials wrote in a statement. “The State Department is keeping our streets safe from foreign nationals who drive impaired, disregard laws, and endanger Americans.”
Among those foreign nationals who have had their visas revoked is one who was recently arrested for drunk driving, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, and domestic violence.
“Outrageous and dangerous behavior that endangers American communities will never be tolerated,” officials wrote. “Visa revoked.”
Others for whom the agency has revoked visas include:
A foreign national was arrested for aggravated DUI with a blood alcohol level nearly double the legal limit and a minor in the vehicle. Reckless behavior that puts a child’s life at risk on America’s roads is unacceptable. Visa revoked.
Another foreign national was arrested for DUI with a blood alcohol level more than 3x the legal limit. The driver then showed up drunk to a court-mandated DUI program. No more second chances for foreign visitors who put American lives at risk. Visa revoked.
A foreign national was arrested for DUI and causing injury to another person. Foreigners who threaten American lives aren’t welcome in the United States. Visa revoked.
One foreign national was arrested for driving with heroin and a blood alcohol level more than 3x the legal limit. Flagrant abuse of America’s hospitality won’t be tolerated. Visa revoked.
“Under President Trump, the State Department will continue to revoke the visas of foreigners who endanger our citizens and will always put the safety of Americans first,” officials wrote.
The news comes as the State Department, under the direction of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has also begun revoking visas for foreign nationals who have been arrested and convicted of fraud.

How about Congress critters? Revoke the naturalization. If they are DUAL Citizens, ship them HOME. 🤓
THIS would be an awesome idea!
you cannot have split loyalties in government!
I know this is a touchy subject, but rumor has it there are a lot of dual Israeli citizenship among others.
Badlands: House Passes Defense Bill That Includes US Mil Tech Swap With Israel
I did not like it when Clinton sold our MILITARY technology to China and I do not like this either. AMERICA FIRST!!! And that means keeping our military secrets SECRET! (I do not like Five Eyes either.)
CLINTON for those who were unaware
From my old notes.
I agree. we will assist as we would any close ally, but not SHARE secrets. nor strategies.
Me LIKE that idea!
“Dual citizenship” –> “Single citizenship”
The political temperature is rising for invaders, criminals, and compromised politicians (& company…).
The GITMO Express has a slice of the action too!
August is traditionally HOT!
hopefully VERY hot for some of the treasonous Congress Critters.
Kalbo, thinking of you & praying for you & your family. God be with you all in comfort, grace, & strength. May His peace that passes understading guard your hearts & minds in Christ Jesus.
Amen
👍 Amen.
Amen 🙏
Spain Tells Illegals “COME ON IN”… COUNTRY COLLAPSES IMMEDIATELY
He ain’t it. Transition guy. He wants to walk with one foot in both worlds, neither world can coexist with the other on many issues. Some of what he said is good, some does not go far enough, and some is the same ole same ole BS.

Example:
Asked about ivermectin, Bhattacharya said he was not taking an official position on the anti-parasite drug that was used to treat COVID, but he thinks that scientific debate should not have been discouraged.
“My mind is open on this,” he said.
It is not about your mind, azzhat. It is about proof of it working and doing no harm. Your mind or professional opinion about it is not relevant. IVM should be as easy as buying a bottle of Tylenol, especially since it is safer. But that would mean your buds in Big Pharm and the medical industry might lose some bucks and power.
His “mind is open,” and so, he fails as a Captain, the title of which demands that one is able to read the winds, as it were.
Soy-boys don’t merit the tough jobs. Obviously, this clown doesn’t know / perceive which way the wind is blowing.
No grit. No sand. No direction!
Totally self-absorbed, when our country needs LEADERSHIP.
Not “followership.”
Bhattacharya is a wimp…
Love to see you say that to his face. 😮
Thank you.

Well my childhood home is now on the market, which feels sort of surreal given my parents moved in there when pregnant with me in 1964. They were renting in East Dearborn as newlyweds & Mom was massively pregnant when they annoyed their landlord with a too-loud holiday gathering & were given 2 weeks notice to vacate. They found the home that they lived in for the rest of their lives. Strange times…

I’m meeting with the Estate Attorney on Monday morning to discuss the hopeful purchases of the “Luzerne Hilton” hunting “cabin” & The Cottage, both in Northern Michigan. Not sure if any other aspects of the estate situation will be on the table as our situation is more “complex” than what she usually deals with…
Hopefully the house will sell well & facilitate these desired real estate acquisitions, God willing. My Executor/Trustee brother wants me to make an offer on The Cottage before my son Brandon’s wedding, which is the middle of this month.
It’s still rather strange times chez moi. I’d appreciate prayers for God’s strength, guidance, favor, grace, & will to be done in Each of our lives. Hopefully we’ll get through the many moving parts relatively unscathed but it’s been quite a challenge on Many levels for each of us…
Edit: The Realtor.com listing says there is actually an open house today. It would be awesome if there is a “bidding war” to keep the price high & even have it sell above asking. God’s will be done
Edit: I forgot to mention that my dad & I put in the wallpaper in my old bedroom (yellowish floral paper) so seeing that empty room in the real estate pics makes me think of him again & so many other memories. My mom’s dad installed the desk & window seat in my room too…That wallpaper was actual paper with paste & it was Very Touchy. My dad, with an engineering background, had lots of “fun” working around some of the funky angles there too 😉 It’s lasted almost 4 decades!
you had a nice big room!!! and a great floor!
It’s an attic room. The pics make it look bigger than it really is.
Well it wasn’t exactly an attic room as much as a dormer room if you look at the front of the house. There was an attic upstairs accessible through the linen closet at the top of the stairs though. But yes the pic does make it look bigger than the 10 X 20 it apparently is per the real estate listing 🙂
In this picture my old bedroom is on the top left. BTW my little bro, who had his own contracting business for a while, put in the nice covered porch & reclaimed the cedar shingles on the upstairs of this Cape Cod home. He also redid both bathrooms, installed a very nice run of cabinets, countertop, & a desk, & refinished the backroom with a very tasteful ragged paint treatment.
View into the backroom showing cabinets & desk little bro did & some of the wall coloring, looks blue green but it was done w/ 3 colors (blue, green, & brown), I think 🙂
The re-done downstairs master bath accessible from both the MBR & back room hallway off the kitchen. There is a heated floor, skylight, & the elevated sink bowls that were a bit of a rage in a number of my little bro’s upscale remodels he was doing for fairly wealthy clients at the time.
The upstairs bath got a major facelift from the 1940s peach & black tile treatment that was so common stylistically in houses of that era. Fortunately our house from the same time period was done in powder blue & white, which is much easier to work with decoratively. Mike redid the tiles on the floor & updated everything in the room though I think someone else did one of those bath inserts in white for the tub area. The wainscotting was especially nice as were the ragged walls. The color scheme complemented my parents’ “subtle” cardinal decor for that room too ❤
Well I only had that room for a few years as a teen. Most of my life I lived in the downstairs bedroom that was about 8 X 10 before my parents put the back room addition on that also expanded the size of that downstairs bedroom.
This image is of the main floor bedroom now, my parents’ room. If you see where the header drops down from the ceiling, it approaches the left side of the window, that is where the old back wall of the house was. When it was my bedroom there was just a basic sash window on the far wall & another one on the left wall that looked out into the backyard. My dad had a grid patterned sheet of paper & proportional pieces of posterboard representing the furniture pieces so we could fit my bedroom set into that room strategically.
I had to live in the basement during the very long renovation season but then eventually got moved into what became that yellow (not my favorite color LOL) bedroom as my brothers moved into my parents’ old room as it had 2 closets. My hubby lived in my upstairs room for about a year when he was working downstate & living w/ my parents on weekdays & coming home to our home in Gaylord on weekends as we tried selling our home by ownner before we all moved to Metro Detroit, before the boys & I–heavily pregnant–moved in very temporarily while we awaited access to our current home 🙂 There were some crazy times for a while!
I also lived in the bedroom for about 2 1/2 months when the twins were born & we did the reverse of the above w/ Michael working in Gaylord living in our home & coming to be with the family on the weekends. The twins were in the NICU w/ Brandon there for 10 days & Josiah for 2 1/2 months, J having been transported by ambulance to U of M for his first open heart surgery when he was just 2 months old & 4 pounds. We only got to be home for less than a week as J got RSV & he & I got to ride the ambulance down from Gaylord back to U of M & then I was back in my room w/ the boys for another couple of weeks as we waited for J to get better…strange days!
Given that photo, I hope it sells for a nice high price so you can get your northern cottage. As far as a bid on the cottage goes. I would wait until the house sells so you know what type of $$$ you have to play with.
Well that is all nice in theory. I think I might have to make some type of contingency offer to keep to my brother’s timelines however. Because he has virtually unlimited estate power I very much do not want to upset the applecart as much as possible.
He did indicate that both of my brothers don’t want me to have to take out a mortgage/loan to get the Cottage so they Could be implying that they’d be willing to accept less funding than the “assessed value” so as to keep it in the family.
It could also be interpreted that they will sell the Cottage off to the highest bidder to max out the funding acquired for everyone’s inheritence. It will be interesting to see what info the Estate Attorney might be able to bring to the table on all of this.
The way things are developing it could turn out that I have to forgo most of my financial inheritence to aquire properties that have inherent value but willl “never” be converted to funding, at least not for several generations. It’s in God’s hands…
Here’s an example of how the Cottage is suddenly being treated differently since the “appraisal” was done…sigh…my dad thought the place was worth about $120,000 based on cold offers he’d received for the place pretty recently…

btw there can only technically be 2 BRs as the 3rd room is a porch w/out a closet that has been used as a bunkroom, one side has a bunk bed (used to be in my bros’ BR at my parents’ home) & a hospital bed & the other side has a futon bunk bed w/ the bottom portion a couch that folds out into a double bed.
Usually the assessed value is considered to be about double the taxable value unless it is near a re-set from a purchase, at least that is my understanding for Michigan. In our case we very much don’t want to see a major tax increase, which we are supposed to be protected from in the event we purchase the property from the Estate.
Here’s tax info from the lower priced zillow page for comparison
Here’s a sattelite view & the Cottage is the $56,000 to the upper right of “Lily Street”
Thank you so much for the update.
What a terrific room! Of course you’d have all kinds of memories about it.
If it’s possible, talk to the Realtor handling the sale of the family home and see if you can get copies of all the photos. Some real estate companies will do this for free for family members; some will charge a fee.
Please pardon the question, but what’s up with brother/Executor, putting you under pressure to come up with an “offer” for the Cottage within the next two weeks? Is there some kind of documented time frame in the Trust or other documents written by your late father for selling assets (including real estate) and getting the Estate closed?
just my 2 cents…brothers are a bother.
from my experience, they have cooties, they’re smelly, and generally PITA’s.
LOL Both of my brothers were PITAs when we were growing up LOL
I believe my brother wants the Cottage on the market while there are still Summer season buyers around, if we can’t pull the purchase off ourselves. He did at least indicate that he’d prefer to sell it to me, if possible, so that’s a partial relief.
There is a timeline in the Estate documents, but it’s Much longer than the way my bro & SIL have been handling things…sigh…
Thanks for the tips on the photos. I suppose I can just keep copies for myself from the websites without jumping through any hoops. My bro changed the locks on the house at the suggestion of the Estate Sale people so I am trying to maintain a very low profile regarding anything connected to our parents’ home 🙂
Thank you. One had suspicions that sibling/Executor could have a shorter timeline compared to was written into the Trust or other Estate documents from your father.
If it’s possible to use the photos from the Realtor listing without the Realtor company name or stamp on them, great. I had to get “clean” photo copies from the Realtor who sold the house in Virginia—the ones on the website had the company name on each one.
Thank you for that extra info.
It is nice to actually see the old bones of that house in such a clear, uncluttered way (not how it ever was in living there). I hope your photos from VA give you comfort.
I have mixed feelings about All of it, to be honest…
It will get easier, I think it will get easier, I hope it will get easier for you. Not to make it about me, but I had something very similar happen to me when my dad passed away, property and land that he had designated for me, siblings and mom all in agreement ahead of time, then poof. It’s has gotten easier for me, time and God are great healers.
Oh Happy, I’m so sorry for the upheaval & heartache you have gone through. Over here it is complicated by the mixed emotions about all the upheaval surrounding my dad’s death & the immediate aftermath…
In some ways it seems/feels like both of my brothers just want to scrape off everything connected to our parents, personal & real property, & just get on with life & inherited funds.
If I thought the same way this whole process wouldn’t be nearly as complex but my side of the family is practically the only family my kids have ever known & all of it matters to each one of us in complex ways.
Thanks for thinking of me & for your encouragement. May God Richly Bless YOU & Restore Whatever the cankerworm stole!
Maybe you could rig up a secret bidder to put in a low-ball bid. If he accepts it, you can complete the sale and go, “surprise, it’s really me!”. If he rejects it, he can look more favorably on your bid.
Well, the Cottage is Not on the market at this point & shouldn’t be if I’m able to get an appropriate purchase agreement lined up before the (artificial) deadline…Thanks for the thought though!
I am meeting with an estate attorney this month to add some provisions to my will preventing this kind of crap. Nobody will do anything except pay necessary expenses related to my death, bills, or upkeep to things for the first three months is my plan. We’ll see what the attorney says.
Please do tell us all what you learn! Hope it goes very well for you 🙂
Back in the day, it hardly needed to be said. When preparing an estate tax return, you had to declare the assets’ value at the date of death or at the alternative valuation date six months later. Thus, nobody would hurry in case the alternative valuation date meant less tax.
Since then, Congress revamped the system so that most estates don’t pay tax.
I would love to get out of any tax related to the Estate. The bulk of inheritable monies are in the form of Beneficiary IRAs & apparently they were created with pre-tax monies so that taxes will be owed when taking funds out. From the little I understand we’ll have to pull all the funds out within 10 years but can do so creatively & piecemeal to minimize the tax penalty. One financial guy we spoke with made it sound like the tax laws will likely change, based on past trajectory, before the 10 years is up…
Let’s start with the beginning….income taxes on an IRA are income taxes, just deferred until the IRA is “cashed-in”. Estate taxes are a different beastie, depending on assets that were purchased with previously taxed money, taxed again at their value at the date of death. They are an abomination.
There is a minimum required distribution based on — of all things — the life expectancy of the deceased. I kid you not. Let’s say that the IRS’ lifetime table for the deceased showed that he likely had 10 years left. You’d have to distribute (and reflect in beneficiary income) 1/10 of the value in year 1. Year 2, you’d have to distribute 1/9 of the remaining value. Year 3, 1/8 of the remaining value after that….and so on. Mind you, IRAs likely have a bunch of volatile items tucked away in there, and can easily go up or down in value by 25% every year.
In preparing the estate tax return, IRAs are counted as part of the taxable estate (I told you it was an abomination). If you end up paying taxes on it, you can offset part of the income tax on a beneficiary return by the estate tax previously paid. This is described as “Income in Respect of a Decedent.”
I wouldn’t bet on the laws changing (or not changing) within 10 years or 20. Often the frameworks stay the same while quibbly bits around the edges get adjusted.
Of course, if Patriots seize Washington DC and forcibly reduce it to its Constitutional limits, all bets are off.
I’m guessing/assuming The Estate would be the final IRS filing in 2027 for a decedant who died in 2026 & not (necessarily) my responsibility as one beneficiary of the decedant?
I dread the possibility of working with a tax “expert” for 2027 as I’ve never done so before in 4 1/2 decades of doing my/our taxes…sigh…
Thanks for the insights…again…Blessings!
If you inherit a portion of an IRA, it’s not too difficult to figure out the details as given above. Especially if you use some tax software to run the numbers again as a sanity check.
I inherited a small sliver of an IRA from an aunt and the only real effort for me was to move it to a different brokerage provider early on. That provider asked for the birthdate of the aunt and a few other details.
Every year they tell me how much I am required to take out that year. It is taxed as “ordinary income” which is the same rate as wage earnings.
Only “tax planning” would be to decide how much to take out over that amount each year.
TY Gudthots as that makes it sound a bit more manageable. It’s kind of hard to deal with change when getting older & lots of moving parts makes it hard (for me & my hubby) to get a good handle on several aspects of our current & developing situation. Blessings!
Interesting. I don’t know which is better, lol.
Many years ago an elder in our family passed and it was strongly recommended to quickly get a evaluation on the house. Which was done. Then, just as you said, when the house was sold many months later at a lower price, the estate was able to have a favorable tax outcome in some way.
It’s a lovely home, pure Americana, the floors are stunning. I love, love your old bedroom and the stove in the kitchen – it looks like new, the cedar shingles are 😘 and the basement is just the way Mr. Happy likes them. That home would sell in a hot minute where I live. Prayers for you, hope you’re better from your fall.
Thank you so much Happy that is so sweet & encouraging.
I think that I wanted the hardwood floors exposed in my room instead of carpet but it’s so long ago I’m not really sure any more LOL
That basement has some nice knotty pine features on the perimeter & around the staircase. The cellar at the base of the stairs was also a nice storage place. Mom had lots of her canning stored on the integral shelving ❤
Beautiful floor.
I’ve never seen so much of it…in my entire life LOL
GOP needs to grow a spine and vote him out NOW! Feckless POS!
Unmask The SYS
@UnmaskTheSys
John Thune pulled the Senate into session at two in the morning with only five members present and teamed up with Schumer to force through the Democrat funding bill before leaving town so the president could not make any recess appointments. This late-night stunt is pure establishment sabotage against the mandate voters gave and the video of the empty chamber is circulating as proof that some Republicans are still more interested in protecting the swamp than delivering the change people actually elected.
It’s this kind of sh*t that makes me feel powerless. The turncoats don’t manifest usually until we vote them in so all of our enthusiasm and hope in fair elections is somewhat misplaced.
Start calling for Thune to be tried for TREASON!
I am not on X but maybe we can get that trending.
I wish everyone in his district would protect him every where he goes…let him feel the betrayal we feel!
Protest him? Wasn’t Daschle from SD? What’s in the water up there 
Still doesn’t stop DJT from declaring both houses in recess. Then he can make all of his needed appointments.
So what if they don’t like it – SCOTUS will have to deal with the dispute. Meanwhile, DJT gets what he needs.
well what do you think he’s waiting for? they’ve been pulling this crap for more than a year. he’s been overly patient imo.
Didn’t they do similarly in his first term too?
yup. you’d think he’d be prepared this time.
No doubt. Hopefully he is actually beating them at their swamp game & we just don’t actually see the “proof” yet…
hope so!!
If I could figure that out, they’d probably give me an office in the West Wing. 😂
James at C&C has a great comment as usual. (I never could understand the outrage against Nixon.)
Yup.
Nope, not quite.
Overall, that could be the outcome. But once the ‘pardon’ is presented as an affirmative defense to the criminal charge AND the defendant asks for the judge to rule on its validity, it depends on the judge’s ruling. No matter what he/she rules, an immediate request for appellate review will be made AND a stay of the case will be issued pending review.
Then the appellate court or SCOTUS [depending on where review is sought] will decide.
SCOTUS will not be hurried and will stay all lower court action until it has decided.
Immediate satisfaction will NOT be had by anyone. 🙃
HIDDEN HAND: Trump’s Secret Weapon Won the Middle East Without Firing a Shot
Here is another, but excellent analysis of not only the Palestinian deal but the whole Middle East:
Well done.
Notice how the media propagandists are all quiet about Gaza. Whenever the plan proves successful, they are off to find the next bullshit they can sell the gullible sheeple.
If they were patriots and a slight bit honest, they would be calling it a miracle and great achievement. Which just proves who owns them, nothing more than plantation slaves.
We the People need to stay the course and get out the vote.
AMEN!!!
“Third, they’ll do that because no one hates Hamas as much as the Arabs. Every country the Palestinians have entered in any numbers, they’ve immediately plunged into civil war.”
_______________
You could say the exact same thing about islamics generally. Not immediately, but eventually.
And about Africans. islamic or otherwise.
And it doesn’t matter if it’s politically-correct or not, truth doesn’t care.
This is so encouraging & makes a lot of sense…TY for sharing!
BREAKING: Major Mitch McConnell Hospital Update — What They’re Not Telling You!!!
That’s an interesting take that makes sense. Turley reiterates that August 3rd is the deadline for the governor to appoint a replacement. If McConnell is not deemed unfit for office by that date, then if he retires early or is found to be unable to serve after that date, the seat would stay vacant until after the midterms and until January when Congress is sworn in. That would leave the Repubs one vote short (RINOs).
So there is a possibility that McConnell could be in better shape than some think and that he is delaying his return to Congress until after August 3rd. In that case, he wouldn’t want people to see that he could be present for votes, etc. After August 3rd he could decide to retire, and no one could take his place until January.
Alternatively, If McConnell is not in shape to ever return to the Senate and he wants to sabotage the Trump agenda, he could be delaying a decision to announce his retirement in order to keep his seat vacant.
In either scenario, it would behoove him to keep his condition quiet. This would be a snake-like tactic akin to things that No-name McCain did. IMO someone should have visited him a long time ago.
The governor being a somewhat sleazy Demmunist, I can see why McTurtle would want to make sure Andy Sheep-shears can’t replace him.
That would explain why some Repubs are going along with the extended absence, and why they would want to wait until after the 3rd (Monday) for anything to be done.
Beshears is up for reelection in 2027 – he does not want a special election – he wants to replace McConnell – the Repubs are keeping him in the dark with these picture games and phony phone conversations –
IMHO – McConnell had a stroke 43 plus days ago – and cannot talk – why he is apparently silent – and others are doing the talking for him – he might have already died when they found him unconscious – Dunno
Chao is not a good actress – she knows and is not talking, either !!!
Sick of this game – I am !!!
I think you may very well be on the money! That explains things nicely. And the Demmunists aren’t digging too deeply on this, because they use that move ALL THE TIME.
If McConnell has not been able to talk all this time, then Scott Jennings and some senators lied when they said they had talked with him. On the other hand, if McConnell had a stroke and was not able to talk very well, it’s possible they talked with him but knew he was in bad shape and had a long way to go.
I am skeptical about those conversations – a bit too detailed coming from a man who could not logically speak in sentences for months –
Lied ? More like embellished !!! Maybe only one person was doing all the talking and it wasn’t McConnell…
Just thinking out loud here…disappointed in Jennings…
To be guaranteed a republican form of govt [what each state requires upon admission], one must have equal standing with other equals.
Thus, a law that prevents appointment [Aug 3 deadline law] must be unconstitutional and unenforceable especially regarding federal offices.
I hope it gets challenged, then.

Just The News: “Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., revealed he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against a judge on Monday.
“SCOTUS made it very clear that lower courts cannot suspend TPS. Yet, an Obama-appointed judge is defying the Court and the Constitution in an attempt to subvert the will of the President,” Ogles said in a statement provided to Just the News.
“This judicial activist’s obstruction of the people’s will must be stopped. Judge Burroughs must be impeached,” he added.
Ogles wrote on X that U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs’ decision to block Trump from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somalis was unconstitutional.
“On Monday I will file Articles of Impeachment against Judge Allison Burroughs for her unconstitutional act of Judicial Activism!!! Enough is enough, Americans First NOT 3rd world migrants,” he wrote.”
There is probably a point to this ‘toon but I don’t see it.
It is a gif, and they are clapping.
This is EXCELLENT. Lawfare by judges is THE WORST. It must be punished.

Bill Gates destroys an entire ecosystem
Renowned wildlife biologist Forrest Galante erupted during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, accusing Bill Gates and his foundation of helping destroy one of Africa’s most important freshwater fisheries through a disastrous mosquito-net program.
Galante said the foundation distributed millions of tightly woven nets across communities near the Cahora Bassa Delta to combat malaria.
However, starving residents used the nets to catch fish instead.
Because mosquito nets contain extremely small holes, Galante said they indiscriminately captured juvenile fish before they could mature and reproduce, devastating a fishery relied upon by millions of people.
‘I’m Gonna Go on a F*cking Tirade’
Galante raised the issue while speaking with Rogan about wildlife and conservation in Africa.
“Do you know what they did fucking in the Cahora Bassa Delta with their mosquito nets?” Galante asked.
“No. What’d they do?” Rogan responded.
“Dude, I’m gonna go on a f*cking tirade here,” Galante warned.
“Please do,” Rogan replied.
Galante said the Gates Foundation entered African villages with a plan to reduce malaria by distributing mosquito nets.
“Okay, so the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation decided that there was too much malaria in Africa, right?” Galante said.
“Which you and I could probably agree with.
“Malaria is bad. So what did they do?
“They gave all of these people living in tribal villages,” Galante explained.
“I totally pirated your thing. I’m sorry, but I’m gonna go on a fu**ing rant here.
“They gave all these people living in the Cahora Bassa Delta, which is the breadbasket of the Zambezi Valley, meaning, like, where more fish are born.
“It’s a nursery for fish. Right.
“Not just there, but this is a good micro example.”
Nets Used to Catch Baby Fish
Galante said the people receiving the nets were struggling to obtain food and quickly realized the material could be used for fishing.
“They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to ‘avoid malaria,’” Galante said.
“Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets?
“They fished with them. They fished with them.
“A mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through.
“So guess what?” Galante asked.
“These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa, where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate.
“So now all of a sudden, you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years.”
The nets allowed fishermen to scoop up fish before they could reach maturity, wiping out future generations of one of the region’s most vital food sources.
Galante Says Foundation ‘Absolutely Collapsed’ Fish Population
Galante said local communities had already developed their own methods for reducing mosquito exposure before outside organizations intervened.
“They don’t give a sh*t about malaria,” Galante said.
“They have their own way of dealing with malaria.
“They sit in smoky huts at night; they sleep with a campfire.
“Everything else, yes, they still get malaria, some of them, but they deal with it their own way.
“Bill Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people.
“Because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don’t grow up to make substantial protein sources.
“So now these wonderful ‘philanthropists’ that have given out millions of nets, have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources, all because they were trying to ‘help’ with their mosquito nets.”
“Oh, God,” Rogan responded.
Galante described the outcome as an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe caused by wealthy outsiders who failed to understand how the nets would actually be used.
“It’s just like. It’s a f*cking disaster, dude,” Galante said.
“They’ve taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it.
“Because they’re ‘helping’ by handing out mosquito nets.”
“Good God,” Rogan replied.
‘They’re Still Giving Out Mosquito Nets’
Galante said the practice has continued despite the damage.
“Yeah, I know. Sorry,” Galante said.
“I told you I’d go on a rant, but it’s like, it’s so bad what’s happened over there.
“And they’re still giving out mosquito nets, by the way.
“And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house.
“It goes straight to catching fish that are this big [tiny] for them to eat.”
“Oh, God…” Rogan responded.
https://slaynews.com/biologist-bill-gates-destroyed-entire-ecosystem-mosquito-agenda/
The trouble is, if any outcome “depopulates”, then you can be sure that Gates INTENDED IT.
Then Gates-World sends out this dude to accuse Gates publicly of “well-intentioned ignorance” – and not craven destruction of third-worlders.
Now do Gates of Hell vaccines in Africa etc! 
he wrecks one ecosystem after another
Our neighbor has a Kokinda sign in his yard. Susan Kokinda’s husband Ron is running for office right here in River City 😉 I think that his campaign headquarters might actually be in their house, which is like a mile away from me 🙂

Wow look at all the Arabic/Muslim names of his contributors…hmmm…
Trust her, I do not. Same for him, I guess.
Frustrating. I really enjoy what she brings to the Promethian Action League updates
I don’t believe what she brings to Promethean, nor do I trust Promethean. They are former collaborators of the late Lyndon Larouche. You should look him up.
I believe I read that both of them became disillusioned with Laroche and are not proponents of his philosophy any more.
I don’t listen to their videos all the time, but I’ve not seen anything to raise a big flag on their analysis. And I do have a lot of respect for people that have spent so much of their lives trying to turn our country back to God and God’s design for our nation.
If they’re “disillusioned,” they sure have a funny way of saying so. From their “Mission Statement:”
“We, former collaborators of Lyndon LaRouche, many for 50 years or more, founded the Promethean Action organization in 2024, changing the name from LaRouche PAC Action. The Political Action Committee, LaRouchePAC, also changed its name, becoming Promethean PAC. Our intention is to apply the ideas of LaRouche, as we understand them, to the profound economic, political and cultural challenges now facing the United States and the world.”
https://www.prometheanaction.com/mission_statement/
Well, I got that wrong didn’t I?
Okay, this (from Valerie’s post) is what I was remembering…
I don’t believe it when people like him “change.” It’s manipulation.
Here’s a Brave AI answer about LLR’s main positions:
Lyndon LaRouche was a perennial presidential candidate and conspiracy theorist whose main positions blended technocratic economic planning, grand infrastructure projects, and elaborate conspiracy theories about a global oligarchy.
Originally a Trotskyist on the far left, he shifted to the far-right in the 1970s, advocating for protectionist economics while promoting views widely criticized as antisemitic and cult-like.
Economic and Infrastructure Policy. LaRouche promoted a “physical economy” that rejected free trade and globalization in favor of state-led dirigiste programs modeled on the American System of Alexander Hamilton and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
His specific proposals included a return to fixed exchange rates (Bretton Woods system), massive nuclear power expansion, continental railroad restoration, and ambitious projects like a tunnel under the Bering Strait and the colonization of Mars.
Conspiracy Theories and Controversial Stances.
A central tenet of his ideology was the existence of a shadow oligarchy—often citing the British Empire, IMF, and Rockefeller or Ford foundations—which he accused of engineering crises to usher in a “Dark Ages.” His movement faced severe condemnation and legal action for antisemitic tropes, harassment of opponents, and dangerous public health claims, such as the quarantine of AIDS patients.
LaRouche was convicted of mail fraud and tax evasion in 1988, serving five years in prison from 1989 to 1994.
Clicking the AI “elaborate” button got this:
Core Economic Doctrine: The “Physical Economy”Lyndon LaRouche rejected standard monetary theories in favor of a “physical economy,” arguing that true wealth is generated solely by scientific and technological progress applied to production, rather than financial speculation.
He proposed the “Four Laws” for economic recovery:
Grand Infrastructure and GeopoliticsLaRouche advocated for “Manhattan Project-style” crash programs to transform the physical world, viewing large-scale infrastructure as essential for peace and human progress.
His signature proposals included:
Conspiracy Theories: The “British Empire” and OligarchyA defining feature of LaRouche’s worldview was the belief that a shadow oligarchy controls global events to suppress human progress.
He identified this enemy specifically as the “Anglo-Dutch liberal system” centered on the British Empire and the British Royal Family.
Controversial Social and Health StancesLaRouche’s positions on social issues were often extreme and scientifically unsupported, contributing to his characterization as a cult leader:
In expanding out responses via Brave AI it sounds like a lot of the positions are pretty close to MAGA &/or Q/Anon views, at least as I undersatnd them. What’s your major animosity to LLR based on?
“Originally a Trotskyist on the far left, he shifted to the far-right in the 1970s…”
When people like that “change” to something else, it is almost always just a tactic to manipulate, in my opinion.
I don’t trust the “shift.” I am VERY suspicious of organizations like Promethean Action just generally. The associations with LLR is just another indicator for me to be cautious.
Thanks Aubergine. Were you also similarly suspicious of Andrew Breitbart for his shift from left to right?
Valerie, I am suspicious of everybody, lol.
Seriously, though, Breitbart was kind of “before my time” as a thoroughly engaged conservative voter.
In 2012, I had a lot on my plate, so to speak. In 2012, I was in the process of making one of the worst mistakes I ever made. I moved to another state to live, and it took me two years to get back home to Montana. Awful experience.
Prior to that, I was living in marriage hell with an alcoholic spouse. Every day was just trying to take care of my kids and survive.
After 9/11, I did listen to Rush Limbaugh all the time, so I knew who Breitbart was. But I never looked into him at all. If I had, then yes, I would have been suspicious of him. But as I already stated, I’m suspicious of everybody, especially public or political figures. I NEVER just fully believe things at face value until I have had very long PERSONAL experience with a person. So that means I never get comfortable with most of these figures, because I never personally know them.
I’m sorry for your very tough path but thankful for how it shaped you into the Amazing person you are!
I didn’t exactly know Breitbart either & only started sort of paying attention to things post-9/11 but was consistently bogged down w/ special needs & regular parenting much of the time.
It seems to me that Anyone who becomes well known publically is suspicious. How many of them have to “sell their souls to the Devil” to gain needed notoriety. If the media promotes them so they become household names that just adds to my concern.
In getting back on Twitter recently I’ve seen a number of tweets that claim Mother Teresa was doing despicable things, like child sex trafficking & that she was connected to Hillary, Fauci (possibly his mother), or even that she was a man…I don’t know if Any of these things are true but clearly not all of them could be. It seems strange to tarnish the name of someone many considered a “saint” but because she was so well known I go Hmmm.
I remember discovering that Jane Goodall & Jacques Cousteau were both de-poppers & then it’s like why were they so well known, because they kissed the ring of something/someone ungodly or so it seems.
Suspicious Cat has to be a way of life nowadays!
Thanks, Valerie. I’m a survivor.
And I agree. Suspicion nowadays is the only safe way to go.
“When people like that “change” to something else, it is almost always just a tactic to manipulate, in my opinion.”
_________
When people like that change, they burn all their bridges with their former fellow travelers (who won’t change), and at the same time, it is very difficult to convince your former adversaries that you are now with them.
Ask Saul of Tarsus. Though he did have the benefit of confirming his conversion to doubters with signs and wonders, something not available to most others.
So it’s not the kind of thing one ought to do lightly.
Tom Luongo is also in agreement with the basic premises at Promethean. And USAF Brigadier General Blaine Holt, who is on Rich Does Politics regularly.
I have watched a lot of the Promethean videos for I’d guess at least a year now, and I don’t detect any inconsistencies in their presentation.
From that standpoint, they seem genuine in what they believe.
And what they present is entirely aligned with DJT and MAGA. They’re not critics of DJT, but supporters.
I can’t recall them opposing anything DJT has done, but rather explaining (in a way that makes sense) how what DJT is doing can be understood within the context of Promethean’s broad outline.
So basically, I have not noticed any obvious red flags in their positions as presented, with the possible exception of their refusal to condemn islam.
I guessed that was because they (or at least Susan) effectively lives ‘behind enemy lines’, in Michiganistan.
Well AND Susan’s husband’s campaign supporters All appear to be Arabic &/or Muslim…sigh…
as I outlined here:
https://www.theqtree.com/2026/08/01/2026-08-01-simply-saturday/#comment-1636022
Yep, I saw that, and it’s not real encouraging.
OTH, the top donors are only $500 each, and in a population with so many islamics, maybe some of them are either Americanized and/or not practicing islamics.
It’s definitely worth noting and being aware of.
I don’t think I’ve heard either Susan or Barbara really talk about islam at all, pro or con. I just noticed the lack of saying anything negative about islam when current events would have made it appropriate.
It’s something to keep our eyes & ears on.
Yep, at least one of each.
“and dangerous public health claims, such as the quarantine of AIDS patients.”
_________
How was quarantine for AIDS patients ‘dangerous’ (it would certainly keep them from spreading AIDS), but quarantining the entire planet for Covid was not ‘dangerous’?
I guess it’s only considered ‘dangerous’ if it targets and negatively impacts a PROTECTED-CLASS.
“Controversial Social and Health StancesLaRouche’s positions on social issues were often extreme and scientifically unsupported, contributing to his characterization as a cult leader:
• AIDS Quarantine: During the 1980s, his organization campaigned for the mandatory quarantine of AIDS patients.”
__________
Well now hang on just a second. Is it a ‘social issue’ or a ‘medical / scientific’ issue?
I have it on good authority that AIDS is spread through sexual contact.
If someone who has AIDS is quarantined, that prevents the person from having sexual contact with anyone else.
If a person with AIDS has no sexual contact with anyone else, then by definition, they cannot spread AIDS.
So how is quarantine to prevent the spread of AIDS ‘scientifically unsupported‘?!?
Where’s the flaw in the reasoning?
Haven’t watched it yet, but looks good. From OT:

MTG Teams Up With Tucker Carlson and Thomas Massie to Plot New Political Party: ‘The Movement Has Begun’
IMO the empty-headedness of these people is staggering. Or, if they’re not really true believers, their betrayal.
Oh—and their arrogance to think they have the influence required to beat the MAGA movement. SMH.
MK after party? 
““The movement has begun,” Greene capped off her post.”
Was the dinner catered by Taco Bell?
WARNING – ENTERING EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA AREA

She didn’t say what kind of movement.
Oh noes, looks like Scott Galloway was hoisted on his own retard!

NYC Kommisar Mamdani Publishes Hit List of Affluent New Yorkers for Targeting
August 1, 2026
SD: “Comrade citizens, following the successful targeting and assassination of an insurance company executive, the newly installed Komisar of New York City has published the names and addresses of affluent New Yorkers for wealth targeting and taxation.
However, many of the activist citizens who advocated for Mamdani are not terribly pleased to find their personal information published by the new Democrat Socialist city leadership.
Affluent podcaster Scott Galloway, an advocate for the targeting approach, is flummoxed to discover his name, address and identifying information has been uploaded by the city to the ‘too wealthy’ target list. [First two minutes]
.
.
Fear not Comrade Galloway, all good citizens of the New York DSA will happily pay the necessary pied-à-terre tax. It even sounds collectively fabulous. There is no reason to worry about being on a list of 950,000 wealthy citizens who have too much. After all, sharing is caring.”
NEW YORK – Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state’s new pied-à-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.
The city’s Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list – which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million – including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
“It’s a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion,” Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) — whose own home appears on the list — told The Post Monday.
[…] Mamdani threatened to raise city property taxes by a staggering 9.5% in February unless he was allowed to “tax the rich” to cover a $12 billion budget gap that was later revised down to $5.4 billion.
[…] Citywide, The Post counted over 960,000 residences and individuals listed as potentially in line to be hit with Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax, even though just about 13,000 homes were supposed to be targeted by the new levy as he and Hochul initially sold it to the public. (read more)
I’ve spent a fair amount of time in Spokane, WA over the years. Now it’s on fire, and it’s bad.
I wonder who wants the land for what this time?
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2026/aug/01/fast-moving-fire-breaks-out-in-airway-heights-area/
What the heck were you doing in Spokane? When? Have you ever been to Moscow ID? It was a sleepy little town until that maniac killed those 4 students.
I have been through Moscow, ID. But I never stayed there.
I spent time in Spokane with my daughter several times, mostly to see off-Broadway musicals. We saw Footloose, Titanic, Ain’t Misbehavin’, and some others.
