Dear MAGA: 20260811 ❀ DePat Tuesday ❀ Open Topic | Discussion of Authorship and Call for Authors

This DePat Tuesday Open Thread honors the author of the original Tuesday open thread on this site, namely the late Susie Sampson, a.k.a. Deplorable Patriot, among her other handles, pen names, etc.

For more on the untimely passing of Dear DePat, please see these three posts.


At one time, DePat handled FOUR daily open threads here, in addition to taking care of her relatives, choir duties, and numerous other responsibilities. She was a powerhouse – a dynamo – a true force of nature.

DePat’s faith in Trump, Q, “The Plan”, the White Hats, and “the anons” in general, was legendary. Although I didn’t always agree with her quick acceptance of some sketchier evidence and fringier theories, I will gladly admit to “coming around” to numerous so-called “conspiracy theories” which she championed first. I was always careful to give her credit for being right, too, when I had been wrong.

It is impossible to overstate how much DePat did for not only this site, but for her country. I urge all to say a quick prayer of thanks, whenever you think of her, for the privilege of knowing, in life or after death, such an exemplary human being, and lover of God.

And thank you, Susie, for the firm foundation which you left us, when you were called to your true home!


Discussion of Authorship and Call for Authors

They say that crisis is opportunity, and they are right.

“Never let a crisis go to waste” – another saying, often attributed to the notorious Demoncrat thug, Rahm Emanuel.

We will pay attention to these adages, but we will try to be “nicer” about our small crisis.

Over the years (soon to be EIGHT on September 18, 2026), we have had authors come and go, especially on the seven “daily” open posts. At various times, some of our authors, like Deplorable Patriot, have handled more than one daily. DePat handled 1, 2, 3 and even 4 dailies (and we joked about giving her 5 – not entirely in jest!)

Right now, I am handling 3, and it feels fairly comfortable. Monday (Wheatie), Tuesday (DePat), and Thursday (Trust The Plan).

Gail, who does Wednesday, is dropping a few additional posts on Thursday, and it’s helpful to us both.

While I could probably just leave things as they are, I feel that it’s useful to give people the opportunity to try their hand at authoring posts here. We have had many pleasant surprises, as our readership has found both enlightenment and entertainment in new authors.

At one time, I would edit and post some articles written by Gail, but what I discovered at that time, is that it was not only too much work for both of us – it was causing me to be an editor again. I say again, because one of the many hats I’ve worn in this life, was that of an editor. I really, really do not like being an editor. I’m good at it, and received much money and approval for my efforts, but I hate it. When Gail finally began posting on her own, I said THANK YOU and NEVER AGAIN on the editing.

Thus, I have no desire to serve as an editor again, and that includes being an editor for those who would like to dip their toes into authorship by handing off articles. Nope. You have to be the person who types it in and hits either SAVE or PUBLISH.

If I open up opportunities for your authorship here, being classified in WordPress as an Author is your minimum contribution. You can produce nothing, or 4 dailies, or anything in between. But you must be your own author – not a shadow author. You will publish under your own username – nobody else’s – no “anonymous”. You can say whatever you want, but you will be responsible for what you say. If you need a more “anonymous” account than the one you already have, then we can work on that.

SO – please let me know if you are interested in being a weekly author on Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday. You can respond on this post, or by sending a “PMTW” message (see “Contact”).

If you have questions, fire away!

In the words of somebody we all love, “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

Based on the raccoon in the post, I hereby name this day Dancing Coon Day.

cthulhu

Would that be a cakewalk?

pgroup

Possibly.

cthulhu

Here’s a cakewalk I used to play….forty plus years ago.

I wasn’t quite as metronomic as Cory, here.

TheseTruths

Do you have an update on your condition (that I might have missed yesterday)?

cthulhu

I hadn’t yet got it particularly organized as a story, so you’re getting a random collection of snippets.

Last night, I was fretting too much to be able to go to sleep….mostly fretting about not getting to sleep. My original plan was to have a shower before bed to make my shower after the alarm faster…..but, as usual, I got so keyed-up that I couldn’t deal with a shower until I was completely ready to conk out. Which leads to the alarm.

The Fiancee runs the bedroom clock on Morning Wasting Time, about 15 minutes off the time the rest of the world uses, so I hit the snooze [her car is on the same time]. I then went in to take my shower.

My hair and my beard are chest-length, which I started growing to defeat COVID mask mandates. I want to photographically document this before I shear it off, because I’m never doing this again. This adds about 20 minutes to the length of a shower. I also tend to have to wash my feet and toes thoroughly while performing a Cirque du Soleil water balancing act, which adds another 15. I can either touch the actual wound or see it, which makes washing it into another 5 minute exercise — so it takes me nearly an hour to shower.

If I don’t organize my hair immediately, it dries into something like Calvin’s from the cartoon. From there, my skin and body hair hold water like a sponge even after toweling off…..so I do a period of air-dry (which The Fiancee and I call “fluffing”) for about 15 minutes before continuing. [As an example of what happens when I don’t do this, bandages don’t stick.]

Post-fluff, I have to find my preselected shirt (reads “It’s Weird Being The Same Age As Old People”.) I also find the ankle socks I borrowed from The Fiancee. Rebandage the wound. After I’m dressed, I look to load my backpack and realize when I’m at the car that I am missing the address of the place to which I am going. Go back inside the house and ruffle through paperwork (the appointment information is written on the back of an envelope). Pull away from my front door 12 minutes behind schedule (9:42).

cthulhu

I make decent time to the facility, dodging traffic tie-ups…..but also getting stuck on some slow bits. Get to the facility…..this is off Grant Road in Mountain View, between North Road and South Road — how bad can this be? I stopped a guy in a golf cart and ask. He tells me there are more facilities south of South Road. I pull in, park, and open the door to the designated suite number where all the lights are out. Stepping inside, an individual pops up from behind a bank of computer monitors. I have arrived at my 10:30 appointment at 10:28.

cthulhu

After a short wait, the first nurse whisks me away down a random corridor. We then settle in and measure vitals, discuss various things off a checklist, arrange instruments of torture on a wheeled tray and exchange pleasantries. Her first name is Marriott, which I bet is far less lucrative as having it as a last name. Her badge identifies her as an RN.

We get another staffperson after a while, she spends a lot of time at the terminal.

After a time, the doctor enters and we talk about some other things. She’s going to do another debridement — which, as it turns out, starts with “debris” and not “here comes debride”, and we discuss for a bit.

[The Fiancee, the quilter, left a straight pin on the floor in the middle of the hallway last night. This helps me in managing my phobias.]

She wants to use a curette to clean the wound. I am skeptical — though I didn’t mention this, “dilation and curettage” (as an abortion procedure) left me with no desire to encounter this implement. As it turns out, the specific implement she wanted to use was like a small spoon the size of a single kernel of corn.

cthulhu

We then went for the endgame.

My entire leg from the top of my calf to the bottom of my foot got covered in a wet plaster-like wrap. This was followed with a couple more applications of bandages that I was to keep dry until THEY take them off next Monday.

In addition, I’m taking another round of Keflex.

Since I can’t take off their bandages, I’m obviously not able to re-apply ichthammol.

And I have a couple of days to contemplate personal cleanliness.

Valerie Curren

That’s a lot to handle. Kudos.

cthulhu

That’s why I took a nap when I got home.

Valerie Curren

I can understand that. Josiah & I both needed naps after our huge SSA day. I’m still wiped out & need to husband my strength to work some more on Estate matters before Brandon’s destination wedding this weekend.

when i broke my ankle and my leg, I put my cast/leg in a clean trash bag and duct taped it tight, then showered. it worked for me.

Valerie Curren

That sounds incredibly high maintenance, so I guess you are a handful, even for yourself  😅  I read parts of the above to Hubby as he was preparing to leave for work & he said that we (you & I) are kind of on the same shelf LOL I totally do the envelope thing too 😉 😉

cthulhu

When The Fiancee and I were doing more international travel, we’d line up all our travel in a manila folder and write all the steps in lines on the outside. We’d use a red pen to key all the documents inside the envelope to events on the envelope.

For example, we’d have the airport shuttle from our house as event #1 with a large red A. Inside, we’d have the shuttle confirmation with a large red A. Event #2 would be drop our baggage, and the baggage tags would be a large red B.

That way, whenever we encountered a step written on the outside of the envelope, we’d know what document to pull from inside.

Valerie Curren

Sounds a tad OCD, but also practical.

My mom was always a rather staccato style of pianist. I was like that with a typewriter, especially w/ commas & periods.

I had a music major college friend who let me sit in on his piano practice sessions. He had a very fluid flow that was more like how say John Tesh’s music sounds (I don’t know if he plays keyboard) & I Really loved that smoothe style.

What a blessing that you have that special skill set! I took piano for a year & did well at it but didn’t have the passion for it like Mom did. She played from age 4 & also had perfect pitch. I had other interests…so I married a multi-faceted musician instead of really becomming (much of) one myself.

U.S. Churches Surrender to Islam | theflyingcameldotorg
Daniel Greenfield has an article about Christian churches in the U.S. being surrendered to Islam. The Flying Camel is adding a few pictures of a historic Jeffersonian church located at the corner of Pennsylvania and Branch avenues in Washington D.C. that has been desecrated and re-born as “Mosque #4” of the Nation of Islam.

Building an Islamic State in America, One Church at a Time

Church Desecration in Europe Under Islam – American Thinker

A few days after Muslim migrants firebombed an 800-year-old Swedish church twice over the course of four days — once on Jan. 20, 2021 and another on Jan. 24 — a Feb 4 report came out saying that 829 “hate crimes” against churches in Sweden have been reported between just 2012-2018, or about 138 attacks on average every year.

Thus, the churches of Sweden join those of other Western European nations that have taken in sizeable Muslim migrants. In France, for example, two churches are vandalized every day. According to a 2019 PI-News report, 1,063 attacks on Christian churches or symbols (crucifixes, icons, statues) were registered in France in 2018. This represents a 17 percent increase compared to the previous year (2017), when 878 attacks were registered — meaning such attacks are only going from bad to worse.

2021: Destruction of cultural heritage by the Islamic State

Since 2014, the Islamic State (IS) has destroyed cultural heritage on an unprecedented scale, primarily in Iraq and Syria, but also in Libya. These attacks and demolitions targeted a variety of ancient and medieval artifacts, museums, libraries, and places of worship, among other sites of importance to human history. Between June 2014 and February 2015, the Islamic State’s Salafi jihadists plundered and destroyed at least 28 historic religious buildings in Mosul alone.[1]

As I said, you need to approach churches. This info with photos can be zeroxed and placed on windshields if you are too timid to talk to people.

Seeing the churches turn into mosques reminds me of the passage in Deuteronomy 6:10-11, only in reverse. I am looking at that passage from the perspective of the Canaanites being invaded by the Israelites. The important take away is that it was God’s judgment on the Canaanites, to lose their inheritance because of their pagan ways. Later in Israel’s history the same thing happens to them, by the Assyrians and later the Babylonians.

There is probably an element of God’s judgment with America’s present condition. The wicked state of our culture has come under God’s correction. They will live in houses they did not build, and drink from wells they did not dig- sobering thoughts.

An interesting report from WaPo, but snark alert (emphasis mine).
TL;DR: Pres. Trump’s return flight from Turkey last month was not on the original Air Force One as reported, but on a secret alternative military aircraft.

Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat

An Iranian assassination threat against President Donald Trump prompted an extraordinary operation last month in which he flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft while the White House said he was aboard Air Force One, The Washington Post has learned.

The clandestine mission, which has not been reported previously, was carried out unbeknownst to journalists and some White House staff members who believed they were on the same plane as the president, according to material reviewed by The Post, a U.S. official familiar with the operation and another person with knowledge of the president’s travel. These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter.

I have zero problem with this for any president, not just PDJT.

In Ankara, Trump boarded the old Air Force One jumbo jet in view of television cameras. He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight, according to the U.S. official and corroborating material reviewed by The Post. That made Air Force One a “decoy” with media and some White House staff aboard, the official said. 

…The maneuver meant that Trump’s actual location was concealed from the American public and many senior U.S. officials for hours. Weeks later, it remains unclear how widely the administration has disclosed the operation.

…For decades, it has been rare for U.S. presidents to travel without members of the White House press corps accompanying them in their roles as proxies for the American public… [ 🙄 ]

In the first hours after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Bush administration officials did not immediately disclose the president’s whereabouts, saying only that he had been taken to an “undisclosed location.” But they did not say he was somewhere he was not, and within hours officials revealed that he had been flown to a military facility in Nebraska.

The Trump operation unfolded quite differently, highlighting the depth of concern that U.S. security officials had about his safety leaving Turkey amid hostilities with Iran. Turkey, a key U.S. ally and member of the NATO military alliance, shares a border with Iran.

A credible threat to Trump involving Iran set the “deception operation” in motion, the U.S. official said. The New York Times and CBS News reported last month that intelligence officials flagged a specific threat of an attack on the president or his jet, triggering additional precautions… 

To transport the president out of Turkey, U.S. officials relied in part on a technique that has occasionally become public knowledge. One such mission occurred in March 2000, when President Bill Clinton visited Pakistan. With television cameras recording in Islamabad, Clinton disembarked from a plain white jet that followed the blue-and-white Air Force One, clarifying where he had been.

There have been other times in the last 30 years when Air Force One served as a decoy for the president because of a serious threat or because he was flying to a dangerous location, another U.S. official said, declining to elaborate. The legacy jet is highly secure, but also highly visible, so putting the president on an alternate plane instead can be considered safer, that former official said.

Ronald L. Rowe Jr., a former acting director of the Secret Service, said that the president’s protection is paramount and that the details of his movements are shielded for good reason. 

We need to keep the ‘secret’ in Secret Service,” said Rowe, now with the Chertoff Group, a security advisory firm. “The public should know what the president is doing on a daily basis, but when it comes to the methods by which the Secret Service keeps the president safe, that should remain out of public view.”

…The new Air Force One jet gifted by Qatar departed Turkey first, early in the evening of July 8. Trump then boarded the legacy blue-and-white Air Force One at dusk, waving goodbye on camera.

To exit that plane without being seen by those uninvolved in the operation, Trump and several aides stepped aboard an airport catering truck, which was elevated plane-side using hydraulics and positioned at a door on the opposite side of Air Force One’s entrance, according to the U.S. official and other corroborating material…

Here the article provides some details about PDJT’s boarding of both planes.

…It’s not clear how Trump moved from the C-32A to the legacy Air Force One after landing, but he appeared before television cameras and descended external stairs from the legacy Air Force One about 10:56 p.m., according to a media pool report…

More details at the link, including call signs of the various planes.

TheseTruths

Here’s a video:

Eric Daugherty:

Footage RELEASED of President Trump reportedly out-maneuvering an Iranian assassination plot in Turkey — hauled off in an airport catering truck from Air Force One, unbeknownst to the press — then he boarded the C-32A

Basically EVERYONE thought 47 was on the standard Air Force One. Epic mission.

Trump then switched AGAIN, secretly, when he arrived in the UK, from that C-32A to Air Force One — before ultimately boarding the newly renovated AF1, per WaPo

47 MUST BE KEPT SAFE AT ALL COSTS!

I don’t see the need to reveal what alternate plans he took. you’re just giving the enemy other options to now consider. seems stupid and reckless to me.

Gail Combs

As I said above — TREASON!

patfrederick

i agree

TheseTruths

“The public has a right to know,” and “Jouranlists have a right to know everything so they can reveal it.”

cthulhu

Let’s say there were five sets of plans, from the first one (the Qatar plane) through the second (historic AF1), all the way out to the fifth (catering truck).

If VSGPOTUSDJT actually used plan #4, then disclosing plan #5 does no harm.

If plan #5 was the one actually used, this is bad.

patfrederick

the fact that they revealed that there WAS alternate plans is bad.

because now a “maybe” situation is now a definite…and they will be covering more angles, more possibilities. why reveal it AT ALL?
that’s treasonous and endangering the life of the President. THAT persons or persons need to HANG PUBLICLY!

Valerie Curren

I thought whatever airplane POTUS is on is officially “Air Force One” & presumably any helicopter carrying POTUS would be “Marine One”, or so I would guess.

pgroup

Correct.

Valerie Curren

TY Platypussycat 🙂

pgroup

Technically, the plane is not named Air Force One.

That is its designation when POTUS is on board.

Gail Combs

The Washing Compost is the CIA paper of record.

From the above:

These people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the matter.… The Washington Post has learned.

 He was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane — an Air Force C-32A — via an airport catering truck 

“The public should know what the president is doing on a daily basis, 👉but when it comes to the methods by which the Secret Service keeps the president safe, that should remain out of public view.”👈

Sure sounds like TREASON to me.

Barb Meier

Hrmmm… I would not want to drive a catering truck now that this story has become public. Also, all the call signs should be randomly changed. Sheesh

Fauci privately warned of miscarriage risk linked to COVID vaccine while publicly claiming no issues, newly released texts show

Dr. Anthony Fauci privately raised concerns that the COVID-19 vaccine could “theoretically” be linked to miscarriages in expectant mothers, despite having publicly insisted there were “no red flags” for pregnant women.

“I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of,” wrote Fauci in a Jan. 25, 2021, text exchange with then-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.

“Since many people have significant cytokines storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester,” added the then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director.

Fauci, Walensky and Murthy had been discussing whether the vaccine posed any risks to women who followed the two-shot regimen earlier or later in their pregnancies.

Walensky responded to Fauci that the first trimester issues he raised were “definitely a good point, [especially] after dose two.”

Days later, on Feb. 3, Fauci said during a question-and-answer livestream with the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that the FDA “found thus far, and we have to be careful, but thus far no red flags about that, about pregnant women.”

Explore More

Months later, the Biden White House’s chief medical adviser also said, “tens and tens and tens of thousands of women who have been followed by the CDC, who have been vaccinated when they were pregnant, there’s no indication whatsoever that there’s any increase of any adverse issues in a pregnant woman who was vaccinated compared to a pregnant woman who wasn’t vaccinated … it’s pretty clear that pregnant women should get vaccinated.”

Other communications between Fauci, Murthy and Walensky also showed them weighing the potential risks of vaccination against the risks posed by SARS-CoV-2, the virus caused by COVID-19.

Murthy also mentioned he was “surprised to see WHO [World Health Organization] put out a strong like saying they do not recommend moderna [sic] in pregnant women.”

“That’s a strong statement to make and potentially quite damaging to public confidence among pregnant women,” he told Fauci and Walensky in a text from Jan. 26, 2021. 

“Damage to public confidence” in the jab was always the main concern.

Watching evidence emerge of diabolical plans to kill people—or even “merely” disregard for human carnage in order to maintain faith in the jabs—is chilling. IMO this is Nuremberg-level criminality.

Aubergine

Always remember, Fauci is a baby killer from way back. He wouldn’t care at all about miscarriages.

That little troll is pure evil.

This is the kind of thing where every government official involved should be fired, lose their pension, and be subject to personal lawsuits for insane, massive abuse of power.

What they have put this elderly man through for the past 14 years is unconscionable, and they do it because they have unlimited State resources and unlimited malice.

The punishment should be so harsh that every government official in the nation takes notice.

Civil Asset Forfeiture…

From my old notes:

Civil asset forfeiture places a daunting burden on those are victimized by it, forcing them to spend time and money navigating the government’s house of mirrors in an attempt to prove their money or property wasn’t associated with a crime. In many cases, victims of this legalized theft find the situation hopelessly complex and expensive, and simply give up. That demoralizing dynamic is compounded where the Indianapolis FedEx hub is concerned, as victims often live several hundred or even thousands of miles away….

From my old notes:

[Major plug for Forfeiture Endangers American Rights Foundation (FEAR) Who has worked hard to protect our right to our property. They are down to one person and need Volunteers/Donations.]
………………..

Drugs are not a symptom they are a major revenue generator and ‘excuse’ for the government. Desegregation Busing of inner city kids to the suburbs to gave the under-aged drug pushers access to new markets – white suburbia school kids – and the drug problem exploded. After we had busing for a year in my school my best friend’s six year old sister was stealing money from her mom’s purse to support her new cocaine habit. So there goes your symptom excuse.

The Department of Homeland Security’s refusal to close the Mexican border gives the Drug Cartels easy access to the markets in the USA., as well as a highway for illegals and Muslim terrorists.

A study of asset forfeiture’s impact on police procedure. Drug Enforcement’s Double-Edged Sword: An Assessment of Asset Forfeiture Programs said the policy forces law enforcement agencies to subordinate justice to profit….
http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/rjqy/1994/00000011/00000002/art00009

Under forfeiture statutes, innocent owners of property or money, never charged with a crime, still must prove their innocence through complex proceedings. . Under civil asset forfeiture laws, the simple possession of cash, with no drugs or other contraband, can be considered evidence of criminal activity.

Results from the Asset Forfeiture study above revealed a concentration on seizing real property with a high value. In addition, real property seizures are preplanned and commonly made under the controversial facilitation statute.

EXAMPLES FROM THE STUDY:

When asked why a search warrant would not be served on a suspect known to have resale quantities of contraband one officer responded:

“Because that would just give us a bunch of dope and the hassle of having to book him (the suspect). We’ve got all the dope we need in the property room, just stick to rounding up cases with big money and stay away from warrants.”</blockquote>

In another case officers were instructed to wait until most of a large shipment was converted into cash.

This perversion of law enforcement priorities was the subject of an empirical study “Efficiency is measured by the amount of money seized rather than impact on drug trafficking.” ,Drug Enforcement’s Double-Edged Sword: An Assessment of Asset Forfeiture Programs described forfeiture as a “dysfunctional policy” that forces law enforcement agencies to subordinate justice to profit.

The WSJ also covers the problem.

Police for Profit

With states and cities struggling with deficits, one fertile source of revenue has been money or property seized by police in possible connection with crimes. Not to be left behind, Illinois has pursued this tactic aggressively, using a law which encourages both police departments and prosecutors to take property for forfeiture, long before the accused ever get their day in court.

…Under Illinois law, the state has 187 days after property is seized to file forfeiture proceedings. Meanwhile, of forfeited funds seized, 25% lands in the lap of the prosecutor’s office. Another 65% goes to the department that seized the property, giving police added incentive to take the property to pad their budgets. Justice Sonia Sotomayor noted this police incentive with concern.

The numbers can be hefty. In 2008, the Chicago Police Department bragged it took in some $13.5 million in asset forfeitures, nearly double what it had seized the previous year. Golly. Inquiring minds will wonder if there were actually double the situations that called for asset forfeiture last year, or if the Chicago PD is simply more assertive about detaining property when the city is short of money.

The case comes from the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which vindicated the citizens when it ruled that the time between forfeiture and judicial hearing presented an unconstitutional delay…

The Illinois law compares awkwardly with the federal Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000. As the Cato Institute details in an amicus brief, while the two laws may establish comparable time frames, federal civil forfeiture actions can often run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, a level of cost and complexity well beyond the property at issue under the Illinois drug law. The better match-up is with other state forfeiture laws, and here Illinois performs miserably, taking many times as long to provide a hearing as the likes of Florida, Iowa, Arizona, Missouri and Texas….

Did the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000 fix the problem NO!

FEAR who has worked on getting the reform says:

…The Senate compromise also added 200 or more new federal offenses to the list of offenses that trigger forfeiture.

Unfortunately some of CAFRA’s [Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000] most important reforms have since been nullified by prosecutors and the courts. Even in those cases where CAFRA requires counsel for indigent claimants, judges have created exceptions to avoid appointing counsel. Attorneys’ fees are rarely reimbursed these days because the courts have created exceptions by construing “substantially prevail” to mean something other than winning your property back.

<b>Rather than reining in aggressive forfeitures as Congress expected, after CAFRA was enacted federal forfeiture revenue skyrocketed from $470 million in 2001 to $6.5 billion in 2013. The abuses continued and multiplied….</b>

Mini Ground Report:

I finally used some DMSO based cream on my injured knee/shin area–Hubby’s been bugging me to do so but I was reluctant for a couple reasons. I’ve never used any DMSO product before. I decided to only use my right ring finger to apply the cream because my last (fingertip) joint has had a strange bend in it for a few years. I injured that last joint when in junior high when a car door was slammed on my double mittened hand & the latching mechanism tore out a chunck of my flesh.

It wasn’t until some years back, not sure how long exactly, that I noticed that I couldn’t fully straighten that finger any longer (wondered if there was “arthritis” there?) & there was nearly a 45* angle on just that joint.

Well just one incidental application of the DMSO cream & with effort I can nearly straighten that finger tilting the finger maybe 20* off the vertical. I used to have to go about 40* off the vertical for the same effect.

This makes me quite hopeful that this cream may also help my injured leg AND further heal up that finger joint.

Pretty remarkable after one application just a few hours ago–PTL!  😍 

Maybe my leg will manage to withstand the Groom–Mother-of-the-Groom dance just a bit although Nothing can remedy my deplorable dancing skills LOL. Wedding is Sunday  🙃

Valerie Curren

How fun! I never got to practice with either of my married sons either. Brandon is a very good dancer. He used to do swing dance outings & got picked to play the very seductive “devil” in a church production where he used dance to try to “entice” the young lady away from the Lord. I doubt even (not dead) Fred Astaire could make me look good on the dance floor, LOL

I’ll have to read some more after getting some sleep. I don’t think that is my situation but I did have a nodule or two, at the base of a finger or two when I was HS or college age. IIRC the doctor used a needle w/ a bit of a gripper on the end & pulled out a white glossy sphere mabe the size of a white popcorn kernal the one time I had that issue. It never reoccurred, but it was after the initial injury but not sure if it’s even the same hand or finger.

Thanks for the info!

Aubergine

Did you use the DMSO straight, or does it have aloe or something else in it to dilute it?

I’ve read it can burn your skin. I really want to try it, but I’m leaning towards a diluted version.

Gail Combs

From an old comment:

The DMSO Store at Amazon carries a good quality that is pure. I got the Raslok brand of Aloe Vera Gel. Used lavender with it. The organic pure castor oil works well with the DMSO as well. Castor Oil and coconut oil work well as a protection for the skin burns Gail posted about.

The blend for the one we use is 2 parts DSMO gel, 1 part aloe vera gel, and lavender drops to preference. I do a larger batch of 4 oz, 2 oz. and 5-6 drops of lavender. It is for arthritis and joint stiffness. I have seen others that use versions with chamomile, eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, etc. depending on specific issues and preferences.

The “secret” to using DMSO is to develop a routine using it. Then give it time. Typically it is not a quick fix. Then one day you realize it really has helped, or, is not working for the application. There are some good books on Kindle and midwesterndoc has written tons of info about it on his substack.

Aubergine

Prosecution Phase incoming.

Todd Blanche was confirmed as Attorney General.

He is no longer “acting” AG.

That’s important, because now he can be called to testify before Congress in coordination with republicans and give “evidence” that can be submitted on the record for the American people to see.
That submitted “evidence” can also be used for future prosecutions.

You can’t tell the people, you have to “show” them.

Understand the strategy and the order of what is happening.

Everything is planned and timed.

Why did Trump first choose Pam Bondi?

It wasn’t just because Trump knows her and has a personal relationship.

Pam Bondi was Florida AG all through the time that Jeff Sessions served as Attorney General for Trump.

Anybody remember what Sessions did as AG?

He launched not “one,” but “two” secret investigations using Special Prosecutors assisting Inspector General Horowitz.

The first one was Huber, who was revealed in Congressional testimony, AFTER he had ALREADY been investigating for many months.
He was investigating many “conspiracies” involving the Clintons and the Obama administration’s corruption.

Why did SESSIONS reveal HUBER?
Timing is everything.
—————

Huber handed off some of those investigations to Durham, who was also in the public realm and appointed by AG Barr, to look into the framing of Trump for Russian collusion.

Everyone assumes that both of those Special prosecutors are no longer serving in any capacity behind the scenes.

That’s a mistake.

I believe they have been assisting another “secret” prosecutor that Sessions appointed.

What if there’s another prosecutor (outside of DC) assigned by SESSIONS w/ the same mandate/authority?
ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS?
NOT LONG NOW.
Q
—————

Another “secret” prosecutor outside of DC, just like Huber?

Where?

How about Florida?

Who?

How about U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones of the Southern District of Florida?

The prosecutor in charge of the RICO conspiracy investigations, looking into all kinds of corruption.
The prosecutor who will usher in the “prosecution phase.”

Why Florida?

Two good reasons.

Trump lives in Mar A Lago and can keep up to date on the investigations.
It also helped keep the investigations under the radar through his first term and while Biden was president.

Bondi was also the AG of Florida at the time, so Quinones could also keep her up to speed on the investigations.
That would prepare her for appointment as Attorney General.

Quinones became assistant attorney in Florida in 2018, before Sessions resigned.

Coincidence?

Before that he worked as a national security official in the Department of Justice’s National Security Division.
I believe that’s where he was gathering a lot of evidence on the ongoing investigations.

He is also is an active member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) as a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.

That makes him a “bridge” between the civilian and military investigations.

And here’s something else I don’t think a lot of people know about Jason Quinones.

(Brave search)

“He currently serves as the senior reserve legal advisor to the Staff Judge Advocate at U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM), providing counsel on national security, combat operations, and intelligence matters.”

“His dual role as a federal prosecutor and military judge advocate continues alongside his duties as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida.”
—————
I believe Jason Quinones is the other “prosecutor (outside of DC) assigned by SESSIONS w/ the same mandate/authority,” as Huber.

I think he’s been working on these investigations since 2018.
Along side Huber and Durham.

How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data

ABSTRACT

….A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12%< (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words “falsification” or “fabrication”, and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.

Considering that these surveys ask sensitive questions and have other limitations, it appears likely that this is a conservative estimate of the true prevalence of scientific misconduct.

The U.S. has brokered a deal for the IAEA to remove nuclear material from a clandestine Syrian site known as “Site 99.”
Damascus agreed to the removal.
The site holds yellowcake uranium and remnants of the former Al-Kibar program, material usable in a “dirty bomb” though not directly in a weapon.
The operation is ongoing, with officials hoping to complete it by year’s end.

i agree on the getting paid–if the turtle is still breathing. but apparently giving an update on the senator’s health is out of his range of responsibility?

TheseTruths

apparently giving an update on the senator’s health is out of his range of responsibility?

It is if McConnell says it is, and if the guy wants to keep his job.

Until there are rules about these long absences and requirements for reporting to the public, this is what we’re stuck with. There are HIPAA laws, employment considerations, etc.

Of course, there is the fact that a Congressman’s constituents deserve answers when he/she is not able to represent them, but apparently there is nothing in place to guarantee that the public will be informed. IMO there should be rules about requirements to report to the public at regular intervals.

But who would enforce such rules, and what would be the consequences for breaking them? That would have to be included, and I’m sure Congress will get right on it. 🙄

It has been 50 years since this photo was taken.
Palestinian terrorists invaded the Lebanese Christian town of Damour and massacred 582 Christian civilians.
It was an apocalypse, said a priest who survived the massacre. “They were coming in thousands, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.’
They were slaughtering everyone, men, women and children.”
Men were lined up against the walls of their homes and gunned down.
Women were tortured and gang-raped. Babies were shot in the back of the head.
Pregnant women had their babies cut out of the womb. Just one of the many massacres committed against Christians by Palestinians.
This is how Muslims became the majority in Lebanon.

Former NFL MVP Cam Newton confirms Aaron Rodgers was RIGHT: players, coaches, and even executives bought FAKE vax passes to dodge the NFL’s COVID rules.
“If we’re being honest, going back to 2020, there were multiple players, coaches, and executives that fraudulently got their COVID shot. Yes, I said it.”
“I knew multiple people in that locker room didn’t get the COVID shot. But they got a card that they paid for.”
This confirms what Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show:

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s troubled son Tyler, 21, arrested on child sexual exploitation charges

I wonder if certain factions are watching him a little closer than most, hoping for him to give them more dirt they can use politically against his mother.

Gail Combs

I would not be at all surprised. Actually I was thinking he might have been enticed for political reasons.

TheseTruths

Likely so. But I’m just going to say it: She took office in 2021 and was campaigning probably the year before that. That’s six years ago, when her son was ~15 years old. I only know the facts as reported, but it appears to me that the son could have benefited from more attention from his mother.

Wiki:

In 2016 [when her son was ~11], Boebert was cited for careless driving and operating an unsafe vehicle. On February 13, 2017 [when he was ~12], she was arrested and booked in Garfield County Jail for failure to appear in court on these charges. She pleaded guilty to the unsafe vehicle charge, and the careless driving and failure to appear charges were dismissed.[260]

On September 10, 2023 [when her son was ~18], Boebert and a male companion were removed by security staff from a performance of the musical Beetlejuice in a theater in Denver, Colorado, after she and her companion caused a disturbance by vaping, singing, recording the performance, and groping each other.[101][261][262] Boebert initially denied having vaped as well as causing a disturbance, writing on social media that she pleaded “guilty to laughing and singing too loud!” After surveillance video footage of the incident was released, she apologized for “[falling] short of her values” and vaping. She said that “she had previously denied it only because she ‘did not recall’ having done so”.[263][261][264] The video also showed Boebert’s companion fondling her breasts and Boebert caressing his genitalia while they were in their seats.[263][264] Months later, Boebert described the incident as a “very private moment” that the media had broadcast.

The country has benefited from having Boebert in Congress, but I can’t help but think that her family might have been the worse for her absence.

“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”

Proverbs 2:6 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 2

Promises to those who seek wisdom. (1-9) The advantages of wisdom. (10-22)1-9 Those who earnestly seek heavenly wisdom, will never complain that they have lost their labour; and the freeness of the gift does not do away the necessity of our diligence, #Joh 6:27|. Let them seek, and they shall find it; let them ask, and it shall be given them. Observe who are thus favoured. They are the righteous, on whom the image of God is renewed, which consists in righteousness. If we depend upon God, and seek to him for wisdom, he will enable us to keep the paths of judgment.

10-22 If we are truly wise, we shall be careful to avoid all evil company and evil practices. When wisdom has dominion over us, then it not only fills the head, but enters into the heart, and will preserve, both against corruptions within and temptations without. The ways of sin are ways of darkness, uncomfortable and unsafe: what fools are those who leave the plain, pleasant, lightsome paths of uprightness, to walk in such ways! They take pleasure in sin; both in committing it, and in seeing others commit it. Every wise man will shun such company. True wisdom will also preserve from those who lead to fleshly lusts, which defile the body, that living temple, and war against the soul. These are evils which excite the sorrow of every serious mind, and cause every reflecting parent to look upon his children with anxiety, lest they should be entangled in such fatal snares. Let the sufferings of others be our warnings. Our Lord Jesus deters from sinful pleasures, by the everlasting torments which follow them. It is very rare that any who are caught in this snare of the devil, recover themselves; so much is the heart hardened, and the mind blinded, by the deceitfulness of this sin. Many think that this caution, besides the literal sense, is to be understood as a caution against idolatry, and subjecting the soul to the body, by seeking any forbidden object. The righteous must leave the earth as well as the wicked; but the earth is a very different thing to them. To the wicked it is all the heaven they ever shall have; to the righteous it is the place of preparation for heaven. And is it all one to us, whether we share with the wicked in the miseries of their latter end, or share those everlasting joys that shall crown believers?

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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.

FEAST ON WISDOM

Happy are those who Feast on Wisdom
Who savor her knowledge of His Kingdom

Her assistance is welcome – quite precisely

Heavenly bread – her drink – understanding
So succor her knowledge notwithstanding
Her nourishment is constant and truthful
Not for the blind of faith – or for the youthful

Refreshment is – the fruit of the Spirit
Through the lens of faith – we can intuit
What can one do with only knowledge alone
With no understanding – knowledge is prone

The sweetness of Wisdom is God’s Great Gift
Knowledge plus understanding – a lofty lift
From the abyss of deception we will arise
The richness of Wisdom is for only the wise

His Word alone – not the fruit of the earth
Sustains His faithful ones – from their rebirth

Her drink is understanding – knowledge worth

Refreshed by His Word – and nourished divine
His faithful ones repent – sin – they decline
His Spirit indwells – in the temple of man
Where wisdom is instilled – according to plan

Your steadfastness, Lord, assures that within
Both knowledge and understanding defeat sin
When the two are united – wisdom be told
A magnificent miracle – inside to behold

For what is a man who is wise beyond years

Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your roundup includes: President Trump signs blockbuster executive order reigning in the childhood vaccine schedule; the usual suspects freak out and cry about hesitation and confused parents; DOJ directed to sue states that deny parents’ religious exemptions from vaccine mandates; media trickery over Kennedy’s focus exposed; latest scientific consensus narrative begins to collapse in the pages of the Atlantic; science grapples with evidence of ancient civilizations; science’s six-steps of consensus and denial and new consensus; and heterodox researchers wait in vain for their apologies. Again.

BOOM: President Trump is making Iran REGRET demanding “reparations” from the US, after he multiplied their own offer and said IRAN should be the ones paying reparations

“They asked for money for the damage that we’ve done and I said, that’s a good idea! Well, we’re going to ask for money for the damage they’ve done over a 50-year period, many thousands of people, and maybe damages for the 52,000 protesters over the last four months that were killed in Iran.”

“So if there’s damages to be paid, I think Iran should pay those damages!”

They are, indeed, eating their own! Keep it up!
EXCERPT: “The radical left is eating itself alive, and the modern Democratic Party has officially cemented its status as the party of hate, division, and rampant antisemitism.
Michigan’s own far-left Democrat Attorney General, Dana Nessel, has publicly announced she will refuse to attend the upcoming Michigan Democratic Party nominating convention later this month.
The reason? She literally fears for her safety from her own party’s radical base.
During an interview with MS Now, the Jewish AG ripped her own party for failing to address the radical anti-Semitic left while still rolling out the welcome mat for indicted members charged with anti-Semitic vandalism, harassment, and threats.
“Myself and other Jewish electeds are subjected to a barrage of anti-Semitic threats, and that’s been happening literally since my first day in office in 2019. Long before October 7th,” Nessel said.
“But in addition to that, what we’ve seen in the Democratic Party as of late here in Michigan is that we’re not seeing the same kind of civil discourse that we used to be able to have and the ability to have a diversity of ideas and opinions that are respected.”
Asked point-blank whether her party is doing enough to address the problem, Nessel answered with clarity: “I would say absolutely they’re not.”
She pointed directly at the double standard. Five members of the Democratic Party have been charged with anti-Semitic acts of vandalism, harassment, and threats, including an attack on the Jewish Federation of Detroit, and some of those threats targeted Democratic officials, including Jewish ones. Those charged individuals are still permitted to show up at the convention while the charges are pending…..”

The Democrats are tossing the Jews under the bus. Probably because the muslimes have a much higher birthrate and much lower IQ. (I don’t think that is actually sarcasm. 🤔)

I think it’s time for a recovery update . . . it’s been a lot slower than I thought it might be, although I’m coming up from a really weakened condition. When I got home, I could fairly well exhaust my strength resources just by making a cup of coffee in the kitchen. I couldn’t even tear the foil covering off the Sheba cat food without working at it with 3 or 4 tries. The unsteadiness and nausea caused by the PPI I’m taking was made MUCH worse (but unknown to me at the time) by the very strong effect of the caffeine in coffee on an empty stomach.

Zipping forward to the present . . .

The surgeries appear to have corrected the bowel obstruction problem.

By eliminating medications and food I found out that my morning coffee was causing fairly strong unsteadiness and subsequent nausea in the morning. I’m using decaf coffee now, and not only has the morning unsteadiness and nausea almost completely gone, but the daily PPI seems to be handling the excess acid stomach pain issue rather well . . . very well, indeed.

The 10-inch laparotomy incision is well healed on the surface, but continued tenderness and moderate (not too bad at all) pain in the deeper muscle layers shows I’m still in the healing process, which may last a month or two longer . . . or more.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been easing into a full body dumbbell and body weight exercise program. Even in this short period of time, I’m seeing strength improvements in the number of repetitions of the exercises that I can complete. I have to hold off on the core abdominals exercises, though, until the deeper ab muscle layers heal.

My body weight has been staying in the 141 – 143 pound range (6 ft tall). When I lost 35 pounds rapidly, a lot of that was muscle. So, I’m not in a hurry to gain weight back, because, if I gain fast, a lot of that will be just plain fat, not muscle. I’m letting the exercise program work (hopefully) so I can primarily gain muscle as I regain weight. I still look like a walking cadaver with my shirt off . . . you really don’t want to see that!

Bottom line . . . I think the recovery is progressing well, but slowly. A very large improvement over my initial condition.

Thanks for all the well wishes and support!

Gail Combs

Happy to hear the recovery is progressing well now that you have the coffee problem cleared up. It is amazing how much difference what we eat makes!

I could see them used in a temporary capacity to allow healing but not as a permanent life long medication.

I had nightly acid reflux a couple decades ago. I was told I had to go onto acid reducers. Turns out getting rid of wheat and not eating late at night worked just fine.

Valerie Curren

I’ve heard that HCl pills can help too, fwiw.

bakocarl

Unfortunately, there is no diagnosis of excess stomach acid production. I’m now shopping for a new Gastro Guy who is interested in finding out the cause or causes and correcting them rather than throwing drugs at the symptoms.

Gail Combs

GOOD LUCK! I certainly hope you find one.

I take B12 sublingual (under the tongue) I carry it with me because I have found it stops allergy attacks in their tracks.

For those who might not know, sublingual means it goes directly into the blood system by-passing the gut. I take CBD oil the same way.

8.11.26: Horrific! GLP-1 Hidden Dangers that BIG PH@RMA is hiding! Blindness + MORE, PRAY!

I had read that blindness can sometimes be a side-effect of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. And I think it happens suddenly, with no warning and no way to reverse it.

One of the comments:

My aunt died due to intestinal paralysis after taking a GLP-1.

Yet, another person said they had been taking the compounded form for three years with no problem. It’s probably like most things: some people get horrible side effects, and some seem to be fine. I’m not interested in those drugs, but if I were, the risk would not be worth it.

Michigan Dem Senate Candidate EXPOSED For DEMANDING Ban On Football, Fireworks, Guns | Mass DELETES

TheseTruths

Speaking of gut health, I came across this article (emphasis mine):

The Most Powerful Men in America Are Eating Only Steak and Sauerkraut. Could I?

I ate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for a week. The results were fascinating.

I was a little less than 30 minutes into a video call with Sean O’Mara, the trim and handsome 63-year-old doctor who has reportedly been giving dietary advice to several members of the Trump cabinet, when he pulled up an image of two liquids the color of radiator fluid. This vibrant yellow-green, O’Mara explained, occupies a specific attention-getting wavelength. “Soda companies use that color to get people to buy,” he said, gesturing to the first liquid, which was Mountain Dew. “Your brain kind of lights up. You’re like, Wow, that’s cool stuff.” He directed my attention to the other liquid, roughly the same color, and in a jar.

“Do you know what that is?” he asked me.

“No,” I said.

“That’s urine,” he said. “That’s urine from a human being.”

The strong implication was that it was his. Passing urine this color is a good thing, O’Mara said, and it started happening to him six years ago: a byproduct of his diet, which comprises almost exclusively steak and fermented foods. The Wall Street Journal reported in June that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., JD Vance, Howard Lutnick and Sean Duffy had all taken up the O’Mara program. Kennedy has credited it with reducing his visceral fat load by 40 percent; the president has reportedly taken notice of Vance’s slimming figure.

…O’Mara calls it the Living Diet: You eat nothing but the flesh of grass-fed ruminants — cows, yes, but also bison, elk and venison — and as many different fermented foods as possible, because their bacteria help repopulate your gut, which he says improves your metabolism, leading to weight loss. Wild-caught seafood is cool, too, but ruminants are best, O’Mara says, because they ferment what they eat in their many stomachs.

He wanted me eating fermented beets, carrots and radishes; Roquefort and Parmesan; yogurt, kefir and kvass. He showed me a picture of his typical plate of food: It looked as if a steak had been dropped on a painter’s easel, studded as it was with multihued hillocks of fermented vegetables. “I have a refrigerator that has about 20 to 30 ferments, and I just get little bits of each one,” he explained. “I’m just rubbing this meat around in all that bacteria.”

More details about the author’s experience, and he said, after a week:

I had a dinner party to go to on Friday, the last full day of my diet. I felt good. I was taut and energetic, in control…

Then he caved and ate the appetizing food served at the dinner.😅 I would think that following this diet at least part of the time would also be beneficial.

Brave and Free

I’ve been eating more meats regularly and cut out breads. Lost about 8lbs. My lunch is now yogurt mixed with fruit and this will carry me through to dinner. The afternoon or evening desire to eat something is gone.
Eating more fatty meat works for me.

Gail Combs

Fat kills the appetite.

TheseTruths

Interesting. I’ve found that fats sustain my energy until the next meal, certainly better than mostly carbs.

TradeBait2

Same here.

Brave and Free

Exactly, the energy is coming from your burning of the fat intake now. Removing the seed oils in the diet is beneficial too.

Sometimes Internet Cable Service goes alone — but if Electric goes, Internet Cable Service always goes with him.

Well, the new computer has arrived, and I am on it.

Windows 11 looks pretty much like Windows 10, except the icons in the bottom tool bar are centered, which is stupid in my opinion. Some moron thought that would look better, so that’s what we get.

Otherwise, it’s a computer.

scott467

Have you watched any of the yootoob videos about the changes to Windows 11? Apparently they are force integrating Ai and cloud nonsense, so all your data are belong to them now.

And updates, requiring reboot, should be more frequent (just in case you loved the interruptions before, you get more of the good).

And supposedly the advertisements will invade the desktop now, not only if you’re online.

Those are just a few that I recall. They’ve really been listening to their customers, and trying to be responsive.

Very interested to hear about your experience, after you get familiar with it.

Scott, I’ve had Windows 11 for months and I haven’t seen any of those changes. It’s pretty simple to turn off the AI. And I haven’t seen any ads. Also, there have been few updates that required a reboot. As far as the cloud backup, you can just turn it off. I really don’t see a huge amount of difference from Windows 10.

scott467

That’s good news, thank you for the report! 👍

I turn off all permissions for pretty much everything during set up. They have to ask if you want “personalized” ads, extra “help” from their “assistant,” and other stuff. I turn it all off.

I have heard, as recently as the other day when the tech was here to fix my computer, that the personalized ads and other stuff has a way of turning itself back on.

Either through regular updates, or otherwise.

Aubergine, you can change the taskbar location in Settings. Go to Personalization -> Taskbar -> Taskbar Behaviors -> Taskbar Alignment and change it to Left. That was one of the first things I did when I got my new computer but it took me quite awhile to find it.

Thanks, but I’m doing much better than just hanging in there. Ahh! The many adventures that life throws at you! Never a dull moment!

Sending much Good Energy, prayers, and Deep Healing for you. Thank goodness you’re going to a vascular surgeon. I’m assuming correctly that they’ve performed an ultrasound of the area? I’m hoping that this is nothing big, especially since it seems you’re healing well from the other issues!

Valerie Curren

Oh my I hope it’s nothing too serious. God be with you Sir  🙏 

Valerie Curren

Since you asked about authorship, Wolf, a little way down the road, after the major issues with the Estate & property ownership are settled, so I have a degree of peace of mind, I would be willing to take on a Daily if you would still like that. Given 2 grandbabies in the late Fall & Estate deadlines into December I would say that the earliest this Could be attempted is in January. So keep me in your back pocket if enough others don’t step up.

Gail Combs

Wolf, I can sometimes take Thursdays. I am looking at 2 different articles for next week. (One is mostly written)

They are on nutrition.

Gail Combs

I will. The nutritional rabbit hole, esp trace minerals is quite interesting.

Valerie Curren

YW I’m enjoying your new “style” in the opens. Short & sweet always works too! God Bless & Keep YOU & Mrs. Wolf in all your ways.

Gail Combs

Or the horror of realizing what they have done to their children.

Russia CB decided to approve Bitcoin for public trading. The world is now shifting away from the [CB] illusionary economy. Retail investors are moving back into gold. The [DS] are panicking because Trump spoke to Warsh, the Fed is suppose to be independent, even though the founders never wanted this. Trump lets the people know in 6 months the factories will be built. The [DS] world is crumbling, they kept the people in a illusionary world for a long time. Trump is now breaking that illusion and showing the people the reality of what is really going on.Trump released a list of the enemies that continually go after him and tell lies. The midterms are going to be safe, Trump acknowledges that he is going to do something to protect the midterms, either the SAA and EO or just an EO.

. . . Hints What The Election Plan Is . . .
New! Breaking! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Biden Autopen apointed Fed Judge just ruled that “Whatever Trump’s scheme is, it must be against the Constitution. So I’m putting out an immediate hold on that plan for whatever it is and whenever Trump tries to impose it.”

That’s beyond hot and into scalding.

I really hope he steps over the line far enough to allow him to have his citizenship removed and to be deported.

I would not be at all surprised if he is being watched. Right now he is the gift that keeps on giving.

gil00

Jfi, when they say decriminalization of se x work, that INCLUDES and especially protects teens and preteens who are gay or trans whos parents want to help not endorse the lifestyle. So its ok to prey on them bc the john is helping their independence. Thats essentially what scott wiener has done in ca which newsom rubber stamped.

gil00

Very. I hope wiener does not get piglosi’s seat.

gil00

Yeah yikes.

Excellent news! I know I sound like a broken record, but to win national general elections consistently you have to control state and local elections. It takes a decade of hard, focused work on the ground to assert full control and root out the uniparty RINOs. This just now happened in the solid red state of Indiana, but the past breeding ground of a RINO wing.

We need for there to be at least 30 MAGA states to remove the mischief from governing.

From OT:

The Safety and Efficacy of the COVID-19 Vaccination was Based on Scientific Theories and Medical Speculation
August 11, 2026

SD: “What is surfacing now, five years later, is a stronger understanding of just how the establishment medical complex determined the safety and efficacy protocols of the COVID-19 vaccination. They had theories, they had speculation, they had scientific discussion; but ultimately, they did not know to what extent the vaccine was safe – and statistically it wasn’t safe.

Looking back on recent history, the COVID experience stands out. The lessons from observing the government’s response, and how people reacted to it, have influenced our perspective on many topics related to liberty and freedom.

comment image

I turn to faith, read the gospel and recognize in more than a few ways the COVID experience was a generational test.

It is generally accepted that somewhere around 60 to 70% of Americans accepted the COVID vaccine, although a great many of those who took the vaccine did so under tremendous pressure, essentially under duress and without fully informed consent.

There really was no way to apply “informed consent” to the process because the ‘information’ that should have supported the consent was skewed, shaped and in many instances intentionally manipulated. Again, the pressure for compliance to the process was extreme; beyond extreme. I said at the time we had never seen such a pressure campaign on any topic or issue as aggressively oppressive as we endured during two-years of COVID vaccination compliance pressure.

I do not fault anyone who took the vaccine. In fact, I hold great empathy toward those who now live with the hindsight question of their life potentially being shortened. Everyone has been impacted by this medical experiment and the subsequent sociological implications in the aftermath.

A few days ago, a person wanted to discuss Dr Anthony Fauci’s testimony with me. I never bring up the subject of the COVID vaccine; not ever in personal discussion. However, if it is brought up to me, I will engage carefully, honestly and with empathy. I was asked about Fauci taking the fifth amendment and his previous grant of immunity by Joe Biden.

My response was short, purposeful and direct. Why would Anthony Fauci need criminal immunity? A lengthy reframing of the question resulted from my friend, who essentially then repeated it. Again, I responded, “why would any agent of the United States govt even begin a thought process that immunity for criminal activity would be needed?”

comment image

Silently, inside my mind I wonder if perhaps I’ve spent too much time learning about the way Russian people think. They are like American mid-westerners of old; the questions are much shorter and more direct; there is no pretense.

Why did Fauci need immunity? Why indeed. Someone knew something, eh?

That sense, the one we all carry that alerts us when something just doesn’t add up, doesn’t sit right, doesn’t reconcile unless we pretend something else exists in the sentence to explain the stuff that doesn’t reconcile. The stuff inside the sentence we create in order to explain or justify is the nonexistent stuff, the pretending stuff. Take the pretending out of the thought, and suddenly you know the answer. [Again, now you are thinking like a Russian.]

We are in an abusive relationship with government. The COVID-19 experience created a shortcut to show us just how extensive and abusive that relationship is. How many Americans have physically been harmed in this example, and how many millions more are suffering the downstream consequences of continued codependent denial.

COVID-19 was the embodiment of the truism: “when push comes to shove.”

How far are you willing to go -what pain are you willing to suffer through- to retain your definition of liberty, freedom and sovereign control. Is there a price? The COVID-19 experience gave us all the uncomfortable answers….. and now the discussion necessarily gets quiet in mixed company.

Many people are angry. Many people have every emotional right to be angry. The scale of vaccine compliance suffering runs the gambit from collapsed friendships to lost jobs, broken marriages, to painful isolation and yes, to death itself.

comment image

There is no way to measure cold anger at a scale not entirely visible.
Several years ago, CTH said to gently avoid touching the sensitive nerve of those vaccinated, there is no way for them to retreat from the decision. Done is done.
Genuine human empathy must be applied generously, while simultaneously a pragmatic perspective must be maintained.

Each person can define and judge but choosing to express that judgement is a different matter entirely. Remember, for the vaccinated all discussion is zero-sum.

As the revelations about the vaccine administrators, their thoughts, their severely compromised and corrupt activity continues to surface, it is worthwhile reminding ourselves that some people need to retain cognitive denial in order to avoid seeing the vaccinated person in the mirror.

The credibility of all U.S. government institutions has collapsed; all of them.
Let me repeat. When you stop pretending you accept the credibility of all U.S. government institutions has collapsed in our lifetime. The only people left covering for this collapse are those who need to retain the illusion of institutional credibility.

The Food and Drug Administration permits toxic chemicals in food and is controlled by Big Rx.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is controlled by Big Ag.

The corporate media are controlled by their corporate advertisers.

Manage your personal affairs accordingly.

We may not live there, but we are all Russians now.

Regarding the horrible effects that the modRNA bioweapon COVID-19 “vaccines” have on female reproduction ability, the miscarriages, the fetuses dying in the womb, the stillbirths, the babies born weak and/or sick — Yours Truly dug around, and may have found something of interest:

It appears that this horribleness was BUILT INTO THE SARS-CoV-2 VIRUS ITSELF.
It’s right there, in the SARS-CoV-2 “template virus invention” by DR. RALPH BARIC, et al., in his Patent US9884895B2 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US9884895B2), of October 2015.

Scroll down the Patent to the “Detailed Description of the Invention” section on the left side of the page. Find the paragraph which begins, “Nonlimiting examples of a subgroup 1a coronavirus of this invention include…”, and keep scrolling down that paragraph until this — “…, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) (GenBank Accession No. NC_001961.1; GenBank Accession No. DQ811787), …”

The other day I posted a meme about virus patents & some of the discussions on the Grok answers, I think, were that nobody “patents” a virus, but they can patent the genome that they sequenced. The quote of “this invention” implies action to create the “virus”, at least that’s how I read it. Bio-weapons should be banned (not that that would stop the bad guys)  😡   😡   😡 

Gail Combs

Valerie, Bio-weapons and there development ARE BANNED!!!!!

See the first part of:

KMAG DAILY THREAD 20260805 In honor of Professor Dr. Francis A. Boyle

Dr. Francis A. Boyle is ”… a leading American expert international law; responsible for drafting the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act of 89…”

AND had a hand in developing the Biological Weapons Convention

Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 “was passed into law in 1990. It provided for the implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention as well as criminal penalties for violation of its provisions. The law was amended in 1996 and has been used to prosecute several individuals.” —
https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Anti-Terrorism_Act_of_1989

Biological Weapons Convention “was the first multilateral disarmament treaty banning the production of an entire category of weapons. It currently commits the 170 states which are party to it to prohibit the development, production, and stockpiling of biological and toxin weapons. However, the absence of any formal verification regime to monitor compliance has limited the effectiveness of the Convention. As of April 2013, an additional 10 states have signed the BWC but have yet to ratify the treaty.” —
https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention

CHINA is a signatory as is the USA.
