2026.03.03 Daily Thread: The World According To Trade(Bait)

This is a break from the news of the day, a break from Iran and media overload.

This is dedicated to our friend, pgroup2.

Is Earth “home” for mankind, or, just a stopover on our way to another place of existence?

Hebrews 11:13 tells us;

“All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.”

This opener is about a song.

Wayfaring Stranger

I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger, from the movie “1917”

[Verse 1]
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

[Verse 2]
I know dark clouds will gather ’round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep

[Chorus 2]
I’m going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

[Verse 3]
I am a poor wayfarin’ stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go

[Chorus 1]
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

Those are the lyrics of a uniquely American folk spiritual in the public domain dating back to pre-Civil War days. These particular lyrics are from one of many versions of the same song. It is one of many songs from the era of which there is no known songwriter credited. A version of these lyrics were published along with many others from the period in The Christian Songster in 1858. These songs were sung at camps, prayer meetings, social gatherings and revivals. Perhaps you know or have heard some of them.

https://hymnary.org/hymnal/CS1858

When you review them they have common themes that center around the belief that this earth is not our home. The songs are filled with both joy and great sorrow. A strong theme of hope for better times and reunions with loved ones abound throughout. And of course, they speak to the Savior of all mankind, Jesus Christ, as well as the adversity of Satan. Below is one of my favorite versions that match the lyrics above. It is hauntingly beautiful to go with the war imagery.

The Historical Period

Since these songs were originated in America and primarily composed in the lead up to the Civil War, the themes would reflect the attitudes and beliefs of common Americans during the period. The songs pull back the curtain on what people thought, believed and experienced. It appears the commie leftists have not yet found a way to hide these truths.

With our nation being founded under God’s Providence by a vast majority of Christians in its growing population, we can gain understanding of how the two centuries evolved from the pilgrims arrival in the words of these and other songs of the period. What we discover is they are remarkably consistent with those colonial predecessors.

Perhaps they knew what was about to come to this great land as the drumbeat of the impending Civil War became louder. Wars, violence and hardship of some sort always seemed to be present anyway. They also knew they would be the ones called upon to fight those wars and suffer the great losses that were to come. They longed for a better future and many saw that as only happening when they went to their eternal “home”.

So let’s move this along with some quality versions of the song. Pick and choose your flavor, or all of them when you get time.

First, from the Man in Black…

For the hillbilly bluegrass fans comes this performance of the song from the Father of Bluegrass during his latter days on earth.

Emmylou brings her wonderful style,

A quality country sound, a more recent version with some lyrics modification from Travis.

Yet, the song is timeless and travels across the pond as Ed Sheeran demonstrates in his own unique style…

Conclusion

Our American heritage offers strong clues of who we have been and are destined to be. We just need to pay attention and look for the evidence. Today we found evidence in an American folk spiritual song from two centuries ago. What we learn from it and others from the period is that four centuries have come and gone since the Pilgrims arrival and we have been searching for peace that America gives us the opportunity to find… as long as we continue to fight for her and each other.

Meanwhile, Christians know this world is not our home, that we are Wayfaring Strangers. Through Christ we have a heavenly passport to our eternal home. We are just passing through doing God’s will while here. There is no place like home when we are born again citizens of God’s Heaven.

Remember Wolf’s site rules. Note and label all AI. Please be kind to one another, we are all in this together. May God richly bless America and all of you.

Before all things and people – In God We Trust. Also, trust Trump and the plan.

Yours Truly will “riff” off what our good Gail Combs says below. The following isn’t medical advice — just opinions.

Can you take Zinc? Zinc can help lung health. 30mg a day.
Can you take extra Vitamin C? Vitamin C can help the immune system. 3000mg a day.
What about trying Ivermectin? IVM can help clear the lungs. 9mg – 12mg per 100 pounds body weight per week.

What about the things that Medicare / insurance says it won’t pay for? There are patient access networks run by drug companies and other entities that can help patients get drugs, etc., for free or for little cost. Your doctor is the key on this one. The doctor has to write a letter saying the patient needs Drug “X” and can’t pay for it.

What about the Right to Try laws? If the patient was told by the doctor that they “only have a few months left”, and puts that in writing, the Right to Try route can be used or at least tried.

I don’t want to make you cry. I want to help you fight, if that’s what YOU want to do.

Take charge of your health care in your mind, first. You are the boss. Don’t listen to nay-saying doctors. They are “practicing” medicine, and you LIVE in your body. Tell them what you want and expect in no uncertain terms. Most of them respect that.

Don’t take the no from an insurance company. Keep trying. If you need and want surgery, they owe you that.

AND, most importantly;

If YOU decide that all of the above is not for you, and you are ready to lay your burden down, I support that, too. Because it is your life, and only you know what you want.

I love you, p. I want what you want.

David Brody:

When it comes to striking Iran, Donald Trump has been consistent for 47 years. Look at this clip from October 1980 when he called for military intervention to free American hostages taken during the Iranian Revolution. Also FYI: during his 2016,2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns, he consistently said multiple times that Iran “will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” Below is the 1980 transcript: Donald Trump in 1980: “When you get the respect of other countries then the other countries tend to do a little bit as you do and you can create the right attitudes. The Iranian situation is a case in point. That they hold our hostages is just absolutely and totally ridiculous. That this country sits back and allows a country such as Iran to hold our hostages to my way of thinking is a horror and i don’t think they’d do it with other countries. I honestly don’t think they’d do it with other countries.” Rona Barrett: “Obviously you’re advocating that we should have gone in there with troops et cetera and brought our boys out.” Donald Trump: “I absolutely feel that yes. I don’t think there’s any question in it, there’s no question in my mind.I think right now we’d be an oil-rich nation and I believe that we should have done it and I’m very disappointed that we didn’t do it and i don’t think anybody would have held us in abeyance. I don’t think anybody would have been angry with us and we had every right to do it at the time. I think we’ve lost the opportunity.”

For outdoor use it has to be pressure treated. And that costs the earth!

Cuppa Covfefe

One thing that can be used (if available) is plywood that has been used as concrete forms. Usually they’re used until worn out, but maybe some is available somewhere (five-finger-discount, figuring it’s Oakland)…

Any kind of particle board will disintegrate quickly, as compared to plywood. OTOH, it doesn’t rain THAT much in the Bay Area, and practically never snows… and even then, only a millimeter or two.

In the hills, it’s another story. That looks like right by the Macarthur freeway, which used to be (60 years ago) a decent area… sigh…..

Aubergine

When you make housing completely unaffordable, people get creative.

In my neighborhood, just driving around, I see many motor homes and travel trailers parked in the alleys and driveways being used as residences. There’s an old school bus behind one house that someone lives in. There are many little cottages like mine, that used to be the garage or outbuilding for the house in front.

Rents here went out of control, first when “Yellowstone” started filming, and then got worse when Covid hit. People do what they have to do.

Wonder how he figures, since the most valuable targets were hit first.

We should have a ground-game, helping to organize the People. The Samatha Power / Vic(toria) Nuland game, or like Hussein O’traitor’s Facecrook / Twitter kick-off of the islamic terrorist spring, except for good instead of evil.

If we’re just waiting around for the Iranian People to rise up, that seems unlikely without leadership, without firearms or training, in a culture that has suffered under generational repression.

How do you know which targets are the most valuable?

There may be valuable targets that are inaccessible until other targets are removed… that includes people and materiel, as well as buildings and “labs”, etc.

Jibby jab?Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell, 67, reveals he’s been diagnosed with ‘treatable’ but incurable cancer

Horror legend Bruce Campbell revealed that he’s battling incurable cancer on Monday.

The 67-year-old actor, best known for playing Ash Williams in the Evil Dead horror franchise, shared the health update with fans via a post on X.

Campbell said he’s fighting a form of cancer that’s not ‘curable’ as he announced the cancellation of his appearances at fan conventions this year so that he can focus on treatment.

‘Hi folks, these days, when someone is having a health issue, it’s referred to as an “opportunity,” so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those,’ he wrote in a letter to fans.

‘It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable’ not ‘curable.’ I apologize if that’s a shock – it was to me too,’ he added.

‘The good news is, I’m not gonna go into any more detail. I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons and work in general need to take back seat to treatment.’

That’s rough. Will pray for him! 🙏 One of my favorite actors.

I’m not too much into horror movies, but we rented Evil Dead II (not having seen Evil Dead I yet) when I was in college. It was an instant favorite and cult classic. Never seen anything like it before. I’m laughing, just thinking about it 😂

I have posted the ‘dead by dawn’ clip from Evil Dead II (1987) here several times.

It was so over-the-top in shock value and carnage, an almost cartoon-like low budget B-movie, you couldn’t help but laugh out loud about every five minutes.

Every time the scary suspense / horror was interrupted by the ludicrous. It’s almost like a new genre, slapstick horror 😁

Slow guy.

  1. I understand the first headline.
  2. Secondary headline. 100%, How Can This Be Possible.

Me. In my mind, unrealistic.

  • Fundamentally, IF the Iranian threat is neutralized, the Straits of Hormuz Are Open. No threat to shipping, it must be insurable.
  • ^^^ Simplistic, I am.
  • But I don’t delve into the insurance circles, this guy portends to understand.
  • If nothing else. Governments will insure.
  • Reaching out.

Red Flag aspect. (Gail and others, come to mind.)

  • Lloyd’s Of London.
  • Many (most?) largest insurers London based,
  • British.
  • UK.
  • Tentacles of global manipulation?

If any of that forecast is likely, i.e. that insurers will not insure marine properties passing thru Hormuz, then I would expect governments to indemnify shipping. Lloyds would lose not only its business model but its monopoly. I suspect they would be disinclined to do that.

kalbokalbs

Agree. Thanks.

Aubergine

I think you are correct!

pgroup2

I would expect governments to indemnify shipping.

True dat. But … which govt? And which one can be trusted?

pgroup2

Not quite as simple as postulated.

Robert Baker

I would think any government that depends on the oil that transits Hormuz would be a likely candidate. As to trust, businesses don’t trust, they sign contracts with specific terms. If a certain government reneges, that information will pass around the business community at the speed of the internet. What follows would be one of two things: 1) Rewritten contract terms will punish that government, or 2) They will get no oil.

I suspect that a lot of “do nothing” by other nations (including the “we’re not involved” by weaklings and fairweather friends), as well as assistance by people in the region, is because they all want the straights opened, and the threat gone.

If the Globo-Euro-Homo-Satano-Cabal tried to shut down transportation via insurance, it would open the door to BRICS offering a better product – and in my opinion the result would serve the Euro-Globos right.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, March 3, 2026

“I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.”

Psalms 16:8 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 16:8

This psalm begins with expressions of devotion, which may be applied to Christ; but ends with such confidence of a resurrection, as must be applied to Christ, and to him only.

– David flees to God’s protection, with cheerful, believing confidence. Those who have avowed that the Lord is their Lord, should often put themselves in mind of what they have done, take the comfort of it, and live up to it. He devotes himself to the honour of God, in the service of the saints. Saints on earth we must be, or we shall never be saints in heaven. Those renewed by the grace of God, and devoted to the glory of God, are saints on earth. The saints in the earth are excellent ones, yet some of them so poor, that they needed to have David’s goodness extended to them. David declares his resolution to have no fellowship with the works of darkness; he repeats the solemn choice he had made of God for his portion and happiness, takes to himself the comfort of the choice, and gives God the glory of it. This is the language of a devout and pious soul. Most take the world for their chief good, and place their happiness in the enjoyments of it; but how poor soever my condition is in this world, let me have the love and favour of God, and be accepted of him; let me have a title by promise to life and happiness in the future state; and I have enough. Heaven is an inheritance; we must take that for our home, our rest, our everlasting good, and look upon this world to be no more ours, than the country through which is our road to our Father’s house. Those that have God for their portion, have a goodly heritage. Return unto thy rest, O my soul, and look no further. Gracious persons, though they still covet more of God, never covet more than God; but, being satisfied of his loving-kindness, are abundantly satisfied with it: they envy not any their carnal mirth and delights. But so ignorant and foolish are we, that if left to ourselves, we shall forsake our own mercies for lying vanities. God having given David counsel by his word and Spirit, his own thoughts taught him in the night season, and engaged him by faith to live to God.

Verses #8-11|, are quoted by St. Peter in his first sermon, after the pouring out of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost, #Ac 2:25-31|; he declared that David in them speaks concerning Christ, and particularly of his resurrection. And Christ being the Head of the body, the church, these verses may be applied to all Christians, guided and animated by the Spirit of Christ; and we may hence learn, that it is our wisdom and duty to set the Lord always before us. And if our eyes are ever toward God, our hearts and tongues may ever rejoice in him. Death destroys the hope of man, but not the hope of a real Christian. Christ’s resurrection is an earnest of the believer’s resurrection. In this world sorrow is our lot, but in heaven there is joy, a fulness of joy; our pleasures here are for a moment, but those at God’s right hand are pleasures for evermore. Through this thy beloved Son, and our dear Saviour, thou wilt show us, O Lord, the path of life; thou wilt justify our souls now, and raise our bodies by thy power at the last day; when earthly sorrow shall end in heavenly joy, pain in everlasting happiness.

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.

Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! C&C is on the road again, once again hotel blogging, as your humble lawyer-author attends an out-of-town court hearing on the scenic Gulf Coast. Good for you—C&C arrives early this morning. Your roundup includes: Iran war update; ‘air superiority’ means game over for Tehran’s missile crews; Supreme Court tells California it can’t secretly trans our kids without telling us; New York Democrats tried to gerrymander the city’s last Republican district using the most insane legal theory you’ve ever heard; Venezuela’s stunning two-month transformation proves Trump just re-invented ‘quagmires’ and created more history; and what it suggests for Iran.

A couple of things. Notice the words FIT parents. Expect CHS to come knocking and grab your kid because they do not thin a Christian is a “Fit parent”

Second, given the above, expect more parents to yank their kids out of public school and home school. This will hit the public schools in the pocket.

It will not.

It will ‘hit’ your bank account with the soft swoosh of a bouquet of dead presidents that were formerly removed from your possession without permission.

Jeff Childers said this:

The morning’s top story on the New York Times’ web page reported, “Iran Escalates Retaliatory Strikes Around the Region.” Iran’s military strategy appears to be modeled after a cranky toddler who, after being told he can’t have a cookie, proceeds to throw the cookie jar at every single person in or near the house,…

From other reading/listening it seems that ‘Orders’ were left by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and I think what you are seeing is those orders being carried out automatically because there is no one left to countermand those orders.

Yes, but if Israel just removed the next layer down, meeting to elect a new villain, then it is possible that “cooler surviving heads” will be ready to accept a deal – like “we survive and turn the government over to the people”.

A modern state where the [castrated] mullahs handle religion, the [history-schooled] shah handles ceremony, and the [get back to basics] prime minister runs the government at the will of the electorate, sounds possible at this point.

The Iranians just need to grab the steering wheel and REJECT outsider-led nation-building, to match Trump’s plan. Francophone leader France will try to steer Iran toward Euroglobalism. Stay frosty, Iranians! That would lead to the Euro-Globo-Homo-Satano-Cabal trying to re-create the current useful problems. Independence matters!

I suspect that China and Russia know that Trump isn’t trying to threaten their relationship with Iran – because a less insane Iran is better for Russia, and better for the sane part of China, too (sadly, too many devoted commie unipolarist troublemakers, analogous to our own neocons, still running free in CCP, jonesing for missiles flying all over the ME).

For Gail. This is hilarious:

Full text:

“Keith the Apocalypse Bringer is a three-year-old Anglo-Nubian goat in a field in Devon. Keith should not be underestimated. Keith has been systematically dismantling the ecosystem since approximately 7am, when he ate a bramble. This is significant because bramble is an invasive scrub species that outcompetes wildflowers, reduces biodiversity, and creates dense monoculture thicket that nothing else can use. Keith ate it. Keith does this every day. Keith does not charge for this service. 8:15am – Keith ate a thistle. Thistles are also considered invasive scrub in managed pasture. Goldfinches eat thistle seeds, but Keith’s grazing will ensure the pasture remains open enough for the ground-nesting birds that can’t use dense scrub. Keith has not attended a conservation workshop. Keith arrived at this conclusion by being a goat. 9:00am – Keith dismantled a section of hedge. This was less helpful. Keith does not have a perfect record. 10:30am – Keith escaped the field. He was in the road for eleven minutes. He ate a neighbour’s rose. This is not being counted in Keith’s environmental impact assessment. 11:00am – Keith was returned to the field. Keith regarded the farmer with the specific expression of an animal that does not recognise the concept of property. 12:00pm – Keith ate more bramble. His digestive system: four stomachs, a rumen full of specialised microorganisms, the ability to extract nutrition from lignified plant matter that would defeat any other animal on this field, is converting scrub vegetation into milk with a fat content of approximately 4.5%. The milk will become cheese. The cheese will be sold at the farm shop. The farm shop is four miles away. The cheese food miles are: four. 3:00pm – Keith produced manure. The manure will grow the grass. The grass will grow the bramble. The bramble will be eaten by Keith. This system has no inputs. It has been running since goats were domesticated approximately ten thousand years ago. Keith is not aware he is saving the planet. Keith is thinking about whether the fence on the north side has a weak point. It does. Keith found it at 4:45pm. Keith got out again.”

Gail Combs

What is interesting is goats much prefer brambles, shrubs, roses blackberry briars…. to grass. They would rather leave the grass for the, horses, cows and sheep.

Also the worms that infest goats (and sheep) generally do not bother horses or cows. SO if you do correct pasture management, run your horses, then cows, then goats on your pasture and you lessen the worm burden.

Unfortunately you still have to deal with the fact goats are escape artists.

We are overrun with Himalayan blackberries here in western WA state. Everybody I’ve asked has said that goats will not eat the stalks [the part with thorns].

Now that this article has shown up, there is a direct conflict of opinions.

What to do?

cthulhu

Blackberries, raspberries, and derivatives such as Marionberries and Boysenberries, run on a two-year cycle. The first year, the canes grow like crazy, and the second year the grown canes throw off berries. After all the berries are harvested for a year, the 2nd year canes for that year should be cut to the ground so that all the plants’ energy goes into fruiting the alternate years’ canes next year.

I don’t believe that goats can be trained to know the difference, so you’re probably on your own pruning your bramble.

Gail Combs

Depends on wether you want the berries or not.

cthulhu

Eradicating a berry bramble is right up there with eliminating bamboo. Be prepared for years of work.

Gail Combs

Goat pasture…

BTDT have the nice grassy pastures to show for it.

Brambles like Johnson grass HATE getting stomped on repeatedly especially during a wet winter.

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. Somehow need to find a way to be erasing cane… 🙂

(ducks and runs… to avoid being stalked)….

Aubergine

Hang on. There are two kinds of berries, primocane and floricane.

Most raspberries and blackberries are floricane, which you describe.

Some, though are primocane. They bear fruit on the current year’s growth:

“Primocane-bearing raspberries bear fruit on the current season’s growth; in other words, on canes that began growing that year. Harvest begins in late summer and lasts until the first hard fall frost. Harvest is longer when grown in high tunnels.

Primocane varieties are easier to maintain than floricane varieties. They require less trellising when grown outdoors and can quickly be removed in the fall by mowing.”

https://extension.umn.edu/raspberry-farming/raspberry-types-and-varieties

The two kinds are pruned differently.

I grow floricane raspberries. I have to cut out the second year canes at the end of fruiting, leaving the new growth. The primocane ones can just be mowed down to the ground, since next year’s fruit will grow from that year’s growth.

Gail Combs

Up north I had the primocane ‘everbearing’ rasoberries. I tried to get them down here and was told I was too far south… DARN IT!

From Brave AI

While northern primocane types struggle in hot, humid Climates, Heritage and Nantahala perform well in the Piedmont and mountain regions.  Coastal areas face challenges due to fluctuating winter temperatures and inadequate chilling.

We might be able to grow those types since we are in the Piemont.

‘Nantahala’ (Fig. 1) is a new primocane fruiting red raspberry (R. idaeus L.) released by North Carolina State University. This is the first red raspberry to be released from this breeding program in over 50 years.

Get Your Goat On! Reducing Blackberries and Increasing Native Plants with Controlled Grazing
Weed-gobbling goats eat the right things

English ivy…  the jagged, green carpet of waterleaf has returned. So have the fringe cup and stinging nettles. Trillium that were nearly strangled by ivy grow stout and tall from the forest duff.

The ivy didn’t succumb to chemical herbicides or even to human elbow grease. For several years, the city of Wilsonville has hired a herd of goats to chomp down invasive plants such as ivy and Himalayan blackberry at city parks and greenspaces.

The goats have been so successful that the Clackamas County Soil and Water Conservation District would like to use targeted grazing as one of its preferred weapons against invasive weeds and plants. The district wants to move toward sustainable, ecological weed control and away from methods that relied heavily on chemicals….

The black berries (like the &%$# Johnson Grass) will come back but the goats WILL win in the end if you handle them correctly.

Reading the Purim narrative (in English) explains a LOT about Jewish attitudes on many things.

  • genocide plotters are always waiting around the corner
  • the need to stay close to the reins of power to survive
  • the need for trustworthy allies
  • the longing to return to the homeland

Cuppa Covfefe

In Texas they just may…

Looks complicated:

Gateway Pundit: Syed Javaid Anwar: Greg Abbott’s Top Muslim Donor

As Texas faces what many conservatives describe as the growing influence of Islam, one figure stands out in Republican circles: S. Javaid Anwar, also known as Syed Javaid Anwar.

Anwar, a Muslim oil executive from Midland who was born in Pakistan, has donated millions to Governor Greg Abbott’s campaigns while staying active in Muslim-American heritage groups, mosques, and community projects.

Meanwhile, Abbott has become a leading critic of Sharia law, labeling the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations in November 2025 and promising to stop what he calls efforts to “forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s mastership of the world.”

Public records show that Anwar has been Abbott’s largest individual donor in several election cycles.

According to Transparency USA, he gave $2,222,086 directly to Abbott and Texans for Greg Abbott. In just the second half of 2025, Anwar donated over $1.6 million in cash and $122,000 in in-kind gifts, such as private jets, food, and drinks. This included a $100,000 flight to an Ohio football game and political event. These contributions helped Abbott build a campaign fund of $105.7 million by January 2026, giving him a strong advantage for a possible fourth term…

Abbott first appointed Anwar to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in 2015. Anwar remains a member, sometimes listed as Secretary, with his term set to run until 2027. The board sets policy for all public colleges and universities in Texas, making it an influential position for a major donor who openly embraces his faith.

This close financial and personal relationship contrasts sharply with Abbott’s strong 2025–2026 actions against what he sees as Islamist influence. In November 2025, Abbott issued a proclamation labeling CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist and transnational criminal organizations and banning them from buying land in Texas. He told the Department of Public Safety to investigate groups “who unlawfully impose Sharia law,” ordered reviews of school connections to CAIR, and supported laws aimed at “Sharia compounds.” The East Plano Islamic Center’s proposed 400-acre EPIC City project, which would include housing, a mosque, and a school, was often called a possible “Sharia city” by Abbott’s allies. This led to several state and federal investigations that have delayed the project.

Texas Muslim Republicans, including people close to Anwar, have expressed frustration. A Houston Chronicle report from January 2026 noted that while Abbott reappointed Anwar and other Muslims to state boards, his “Sharia-free” language and the new “Sharia Free America Caucus” in Congress are pushing away conservative Muslims who once supported the GOP. Some say they may not vote or might switch parties in the 2026 primaries....

patfrederick

I’ll be honest, it would be extremely hard for me to ever trust a muslim….ever.
and I have to wonder if this relationship is what brought so many muslims to Texas–and their determination to build muslim cities.

Gail Combs

Exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps it is also why Abbott never closed the Texas border with Mexico.

patfrederick

someone was working to smooth over (or outright hide) the large muzlim communities they are building.
and i don’t care how “non violent, non shaira they claim to be , once they are established, they will dig in like ticks and it won’t be easy to get rid of them.

Wolf Moon

Keep ’em full of spies and informants!

patfrederick

it’s not just the mosques…it’s the muzlim only cities. THEY DO NOT WANT TO ASSIMILATE. that is evident. if they want to be among only muzlims–send them packing! there are many muzlim countries. go to one of them.

this is what all the “tolerance” bullshit was about.

Wolf Moon

Yup. My thinking is that shutting the floodgates and making the rules clear (see Andrew Jackson) is how we can separate the remaining “assimilatables” from the non-assimilatables. Meanwhile, the “remigration” option (a.k.a. GTFO) stays open for business, despite rad-left screaming and crying.

I’m just being realistic, because “magical all Muslims gone” simply doesn’t happen. Trump is teaching us that things are possible – but that they have to be real, and they have to be fought for, and they don’t happen overnight.

I think your key idea is this. If they want to be among Muslims only, that’s a no-go. “Freedom of association” does not include adversarial colonization, a.k.a. invasion.

Wolf Moon

Call it what it is – MUSLIM SEPARATISM. It should be just as abhored and “beyond the pale” as BLACK SEPARATISM and WHITE SEPARATISM.

Funny that the treason media doesn’t make that connection.

patfrederick

I’m torn. on one hand I really don’t want to live WITH them. they’re taught it’s okay to lie to us…meaning i would never trust a word they said.
on the other hand, getting them ALL out would be a monumental task and while I would honestly support that idea, there are too many bleeding heart liberals who would oppose it.
and be honest…with what we’ve seen from the muzlims already here…trying to build their conclaves and muzlim only places, taking over Times Square and other places–do YOU honestly believe they can live among us and not be plotting to take us over at some point?
because I wouldn’t want to endanger my granddaughter’s future because I have been taught to give the benefit of the doubt to people who clearly were taught that they should conquer us.

Wolf Moon

The percentage of Muslims MUST be kept below a certain level to have a free society. That is simple, unbreakable reality. At one level, Muslims begin forming separatist enclaves. At another level, they begin violent sedition, civil war, and takeover of government. Lebanon is the great example.

Therefore, a nation of non-Muslims must take actions to prevent the population from getting to the social destruction point.

Once Muslims take over, there is only one way back to freedom for everybody else. RECONQUISTA. Drive them out. They have to have their own countries – and YOURS is not one of them. Make them go back.

There is one good thing. When the population of Muslims is low enough, and dispersed enough, their level of lying and dishonesty against non-Muslims tends to be lower and more “tolerable”. Put simply, they act better – more like everybody else, because they model from the surrounding society, and not the Koran and the radicals.

This is why the “fissionable radioactive model” of Muslims works so well. Muslims below a certain level can be moderated by society, although Somalis are significantly more radioactive than most.

TheLastRefuge
@TheLastRefuge2
When addressing Greenland’s strategic value within U.S. Arctic defense efforts, President Trump argued that although the European Union and NATO insisted there was no need for American control —promising instead to marshal their combined military strength to defend the territory— he remained skeptical of their assurances. Trump’s remarks were met with swift shock and visible dismay. Pearls were clutched and jaws stood agape.

However, it only took a few weeks for a moment of clarity to surface following the Israeli/U.S. decision to strike Iran and eliminate the long-standing nuclear threat. Suddenly Great Britain and Spain tell the U.S. they will not allow American military use of their joint airbases. Once, again President Trump’s lack of trust in NATO proved correct.

Spain and U.K Response to Iran Conflict Highlights NATO Weakness and Duplicity

Wolf Moon

YUP. SD gets it. Europe is weak, duplicitous, back-stabbing, lacking in vision, untrustworthy, and sometimes JUST PLAIN STUPID. America and indeed the WORLD cannot depend on European leadership – and THAT is a real shame.

Leading on the wrong foot is a perennial Euro problem. Instead, they should be beating Trump to the punch on many smart things – but they don’t. WEAK.

Wolf Moon

Smart play – realize that Greenland + American tech is a WIN for Europe in creating a multi-dimensional shield for THEMSELVES as well. It’s pure NATO, in controlling the North Atlantic.

FOG OF WAR:

An interesting tidbit from Ghost

Some interesting developments coming out of the Gulf States. Saudi Aramco oil refineries have been attacked, including the largest oil refinery in the world, and yet Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister appeared on CNN to clarify that Iran did not conduct these attacks, adding that Saudi Arabia is well aware of this.

CLIP of VIDEO

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson claims that both Qatar and Saudi Arabia have arrested Mossad agents that were planning on committing false flag bombings in those countries and blaming it on Iran.

CLIP of VIDEO

To what extent these claims are true remains to be seen. The Gulf State monarchies are notoriously private and would not necessarily announce something like this to the public, at least not immediately.

So we will have to see how accurate Tucker’s reporting is, but it wouldn’t make much sense for him to make up something that could potentially damage the very places he is defending in the clip.

What is clear is that there is a concerted effort right now to destroy the security architecture in the Middle East that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon has spent years establishing.

In a very short time we have gone from the Middle East being a harbinger of the Golden Age to the potential spoiler of it.

Ghost is very much against the war.

I think it is needed in order to take out a festering wound. Also The Muslim nations are joining the USA in going after IRAN.

Gail Combs

A summary from the same Badlands Brief:

US Secretary of State Rubio Says Planned Israeli Action Prompted US Strikes on Iran

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that the United States decided to launch military strikes against Iran after determining that Israel was planning its own attack on Iranian targets that would trigger Iranian retaliation against American forces.

“We knew that there ​was going to be an Israeli action, ​we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we ​didn’t preemptively go after them before they ​launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties,” Rubio said.

Rubio made the comments before a closed-door briefing to Congress on the US and Israeli military operation against Iran.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican lawmakers also said in congressional briefings that Israel was prepared to attack Iran “with or without American support,” and that US involvement reflected planning to protect US forces from anticipated Iranian retaliation.

Rubio also discussed US military objectives, including degrading Iran’s ballistic missile and naval capabilities, though he said the United States was not currently postured for ground forces in Iran.

Rosa

So I wondered what is chang?
According to whatever ai is on my browser

Search Assist on Duck duck go:

Chang can refer to two different things: it is a traditional Persian musical instrument, a type of harp, or it is a Tibetan barley wine with low alcohol content enjoyed during festive occasions

A traditional Persian harp??? Like, some sort of mega acoustic weapon??? 😳 

gil00

I wondered what it was too. Well harps, angels, going to heaven, or hell. Death.

Tatonka Woman

Maybe it is referring to a harp.
Which jars my memory…something about HAARP. Or a Project Harp.

Don’t have time to research right now, and might seem to be an odd connection in my brain, having nothing to do with Chang.

Aubergine

I read somewhere today that it is an inside joke meaning Chiang Kai Shek. Might have been nonsense. I don’t know.

I found this, too:

“”Unleash Chiang” originated as a phrase used in George H.W. Bush‘s family as lighthearted, competitive tennis trash talk. It refers to unleashing a “Chiang” (specifically referring to former tennis player Michael Chang), meant to signify bringing out a high-energy, tenacious, or unstoppable style of play on the tennis court.”

Also found this:

“Unleash Chiang,” as in the rallying cry of John Birchers in the 1950s, who urged the United States to arm Chiang Kai-shek, the Chinese Nationalist leader of Taiwan, so he could retake Red China from Mao. “Unleash Chiang,” which later morphed into sports trash talk in the Bush family, like when George H.W. would warn from the baseline that he was about to “unleash Chiang” with his next serve.”

I searched a plain browser (not AI) for “What did Rubio mean by ‘release Chang’?” Here is the answer:

the history behind this is so funny. it was a joke george hw bush told playing tennis, mocking right wing critics of US China policy (they wanted to “unleash Chiang”). This got garbled into being a “mythical warrior” named “Chang” and Jeb Bush gave Rubio “Chang’s” golden sword

comment image
Then-Florida state Rep. Marco Rubio holding a sword of “Chang” given to him by then-Gov. Jeb Bush at the Florida State Capitol in Tallahassee on Sept. 13, 2005. AP Photo/Phil Coale, File”

Rubio’s reference to “Chang” is a callback to then-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush gifting him with a sword in 2005 when he was chosen to be speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. Bush’s brother, then-President George W. Bush, had invaded Iraq three years prior and Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.

“Chang is a mythical conservative warrior,” Rubio told the New York Times in 2012. “From time to time, if there’s a big issue going on, you’d see Jeb say, ‘I’m going to unleash Chang.’ He gave me the sword of Chang… I think it’s a Jeb Bush creation.”

The Gainesville Sun reported in 2005 that Gov. Bush presented the sword to Rubio in front of a roaring crowd.

”Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society,” the governor told Rubio at the event.

“I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down. I’m going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior.”

“Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics. They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons. They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things.”

“And this is the weakest they’ve ever been. Now is the time to go after them.”

“The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.”

“That’s why the president made this decision. It was the right decision, and the world will be a safer place when these radical clerics no longer have access to these weapons. You see how they’re using them now.”

Ali Khamenei’s son Mojtaba named Iran’s new Supreme Leader

…..

14 hours ago ???

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is insisting on the swift appointment of the next leader of the Islamic Republic after Ali Khamenei’s death, sources with knowledge of the matter told Iran International.

According to the sources speaking on condition of anonymity, the remaining IRGC command structure is seeking to finalize the decision within the coming hours, specifically by dawn on Sunday, March 1.

The sources said with airstrikes ongoing, it is not feasible to convene a session of the Assembly of Experts, the constitutional body responsible for selecting the Supreme Leader. As a result, the IRGC is pushing for the appointment of the next leader to take place outside the legally prescribed procedures.

….

BRAVE AI

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has reportedly been killed in a joint U.S.-Israel strike. Iranian state media and outlets like the Express.co.uk confirmed the death, stating he was eliminated during a bombardment targeting Tehran.

Iran continues to have difficulty staffing key positions.

Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council on Mirdamad Street in Tehran was destroyed after being targeted in an airstrike on Monday, footage released by Iranian media showed.

The council is a powerful state body that selects the clerical member of the Interim Leadership Council and makes the final decisions on five key issues until a new Supreme Leader is elected:

1- Determining the general policies of the Islamic Republic

2- Ordering a referendum

3- Declaring war or peace

4- Dismissing the president

5- Appointing or dismissing the chief of the Joint Staff, the commander-in-chief of the IRGC, and senior military and law enforcement commanders

Danger in the dough…”Girl Scout Cookies are 100% positive for Glyphosate at alarming levels. 100% positive for Heavy Metals including Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury & Lead.”
~Zen Honeycutt

Here is what they found inside the legendary cookies:  

~100% of Girl Scout cookies contain glyphosate.
~88% contain heavy metals: Arsenic, Lead & Mercury.
~Thin Mints glyphosate levels 334X what experts consider harmful.
~Peanut Butter Patties had the highest level of heavy metals with Lead & alarming levels of aluminum.
~76% of cookies exceeded Cadmium safety limits.
~96% contained Lead

This is more than just “unhealthy.” It is slow poisoning, wrapped in nostalgia & sold by children.

The organization, Girl Scouts USA, generates nearly $800M in yearly profits from this. When presented with these test results, their response was silence

Thank you! The numbers are both concerning AND relieving.

Glyphosate was highest in Thin Mints (which I have found most disruptive to the gastrointestinal tract), but the levels are only about 1/4 of the commonly cited limit of 160 ppb, and MANY foodstuffs exceed that limit. So the glyphosate level is concerning, yet it’s more concerning in other products out there, at the grocery store.

I was just watching for kitties outside and also looking at X. I saw a helpful post from an Iraqi lady about how the baddies use mosques to store weapons, hold hostages, and so on. Then I saw a reply by Para59R. Oh wait… I remember that guy don’t I? We were following each other, so I blocked him.

Wow… lets shove the Palestinians under the bus first chance we get and then ask the world for help. That was a non starter. If that’s the way you all feel then sucks to be you.

Have to wonder if Para is a Pali…

Many references I remember to ancient Arab civilizations, ideologies, and current Pali (-oriented, emphasis on Orient)(not Occidental) events…

Sad…

Barb Meier

Good point, Cuppa! At least he seems to be able to express himself on X and I can just block him when his perspective seems too weird for my time.

As it turns out, any reason is a good reason to burn down mosques.

It doesn’t even have to be a good reason.

Mosques are symbols of islamic tyranny, oppression, slavery, evil and blood thirsty hatred of mankind, so every mosque that burns to the ground makes the world a less hateful place.

Ah, Para59.

Verified I am not following and have him blocked. Obviously, folks do whatever fits their interest. As for me, PARA went off the deep end. No thank you.

Just looked at his feed. Lots of whackadoos.

Scrolling don his feed at the nutcase bs.

Para reposted a X.

Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart

Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.

Serenity at Day’s End

Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.

Prayer for Restful Stillness

Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.

Nighttime Whisper for Peace

Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.

Prayer for Gentle Rest

Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.

Powerfully true.

The GRIFT is the GRIFT, whether from LEFT or from RIGHT.

The pro- life grifters needed Roe to be the law of the land to continue their grift. The majority of pro lifers needed Roe over turned to begin the healing and saving of the babies.  

The neocon grifters/the color revolution folks need a strong Islamic Iran to continie their war grift. The American people and non grifters need a neutered Iran so the peace can flourish in the middle east.  

The grifters always need the problem to be unfixed to continie their grift. The rest of us need the problems fixed asap so we can solve other problems.

Grifters don’t have core moral principles. They have greed of one kind or another, whether for money, power, or fame.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Valerie Curren

I love that scene…

cthulhu

Who would know if there is a “Shoulder of Orion” somewhere in the Middle East, or maybe a “Tannhäuser Gate”? Now that directed energy weapons have been unleashed there, how close are we to Blade Runner?

Cuppa Covfefe

Wagner mercenaries are probably busy trying to defend (or take) Tannhäuser Gate… 🙂

Maybe a Tannhäuser Gate is wherever the Wagner Group happens to be?

No idea how the evening will play out for Crocket. Most reports show she’ll lose. those some during the past two weeks were quite positive for Crockett. Click bait. All of it.

Crockett. Predictable. Pathetic. Piece of shit.

JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett claims her opponents are CHEATING in the U.S. Senate primary as she faces likely DEFEAT

Lmao, ghetto might not be as popular as she thought

This one’s a biggy TT. I’m praying that Ken Paxton pulls out a win or second best, there’s a special run-off in May between the two of them. I’d be happy with either result. Anything to have a chance to get Cornyn out of the Senate.

Hello all!
Looking for that original post, the Roller Coaster post from almost 10 years ago. Thanks for links if you lave them or screenshot of the original Conservative Treehouse post.

(feeling old now as I am looking for that post and realizing how long ago that first election was … that primary fight for President Trump and even before that, as many of us watched live June 2015

Interesting, a probably y’all already know … old comments for back in the day at the treehouse are closed and unable to browse. Petty and not focused on the big picture prize. That infighting weakened us, weakened the grassroots, at the very time we needed to be strong. frustrating and disappointing, especially when one considers how his website started.

And yet many of us who learned there have gone on to accomplish (at least try) good things and make an impact. oh well.

Valerie Curren

I’m going to copy your comment to Today’s post, 3-4-26, so it hopefully gets seen by more people.

I have had Some success using the Wayback Machine at Archive.org in searching for some older CTH stuff, fwiw.

I agree about the weakening by the ban hammer over at CTH. The flourishing of a number of sister blogs is at least a positive outcome of that pettiness, imo. God is Good!
