The Morning Report

The Morning Report — 6/8/23

Good morning kids. Whatever one thinks of the Monty Python troupe and especially of their most controversial film The Life of Brian, the absolute absurdity of the scene at the bottom, which Cleese, Palin and the others intended as a dig at both Judeo-Christianity and ordered, western society ironically defines the quintessence of the brain-dead mentality of today's "woke" cadres of the Left's cultural revolutionaries to a tee. And the irony is about as bitter as it gets.

I bring this up only because of the striking parallel to the use of the word/epithet "ni88er." Notice that I describe it as a word/eptithet, because it is a word that is an epithet. But it depends upon this thing that we refer to in the trade as "context." Like the guy sentenced to death for uttering the word "Jehovah," if I were to dare write out the word "ni88er" as it is spelled in English by replacing the 88 — Ho. Lee. Fook. I just realized that 88, per FBI ham 'n egger hero Frank Figliuzzi is code language for a certain Viennese housepainter (reminder to all you 88-ers out there that tonight's scheduled cross burning, bund meeting and blood sacrifice outside Mar-a-Lago has been postponed due to a pending indictment) — with the original double "g" that would be the end of me.

No, the FBI wouldn't come after me, nor the BLMsters nor Sharpton (at least not immediately). Ace would have to give me the chop. That is the supreme irony in that he would be forced to do their dirty work. Mind you, it would not be because I dropped that word as an intentional epithet, nor even had I done what Michael Richards of Seinfeld fame attempted to do in making a point about the use of the word and in the event destroying his career. By even writing or saying something absolutely truthful such as "The word 'Ni88er' is a hateful epithet' the result would be just the same.

Why do I bring all this up? Because the word "ni88er" has become the ultimate maguffin, and a clue to the ultimate weapon in gaining and maintaining absolute power and control: Language.

Leftist publishers have recently taken it upon themselves to rewrite the works of Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and Agatha Christie to bring them into line with contemporary woke sensibilities, and now movies are starting to get the same treatment. The first to go under the knife has been William Friedkin’s gritty 1971 flick The French Connection, in which Gene Hackman plays Popeye Doyle, a tough, cynical cop of a kind that wouldn’t last five minutes on any big-city police force today. At one point in the movie (exactly ten minutes and five seconds in, if you want to check), Doyle dares to utter the forbidden word of all forbidden words, the racial epithet that can end careers and destroy lives in the blink of an eye. We see early on in the film that Popeye is not exactly cuddly, or even fully likeable. But if you get a new copy of the movie, you won’t see that at all. The Most Offensive of All Words has been removed without a trace. . .
. . . The woke censors are evil, but they’re not stupid. They know that few people are going to be upset by the removal of the magic life-destroying word from a fifty-year-old movie. Most people won’t notice at all, except for a handful of movie geeks who love to memorize scenes and repeat lines from them in every conceivable situation. Most who do notice will not dare to say anything about the edit. They don’t want to appear to be or be portrayed as someone who would go around saying That Word or approve of its use.
Indeed, excising the dreaded word to end all words from The French Connection is as canny a move as tearing down Confederate statues. Few will enunciate the slightest dissent; everyone knows that those who object will be targeted and destroyed as racists. That’s a neat way to co-opt opposition, but the issues in play here are much larger than just Popeye Doyle’s use of a bad word. The worst aspect of this whole thing is that the Criterion Channel’s presentation of The French Connection gives no hint that it has been edited and that viewers aren’t seeing the actual film that won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1972. The door has thus been opened to any and all films being edited to suit the sensibilities of today’s cultural arbiters, without any notice that it is being done at all.
. . . Old movies, like old books, are a window into times when people didn’t think, speak, dress, or act the way people in our time do. Nowadays, the Left is making a concerted effort to shut down dissent and create an environment in which only its own perspective is allowed to be enunciated. The more people read books and watch films that don’t conform 100% to the Leftist agenda, the larger the risk becomes that they might actually start thinking their own thoughts and rejecting the increasingly irrational version that Leftists demand we accept.

Even if Spike Lee were to protest the removal of the scene with the most reasoned and rational (for him anyway) argument in terms of context vis a vis the film itself and the times in which it was made, he'd be instantly condemned as a race-traitor and consigned to be stoned to death in front of the temple.

But we've now gone beyond words vis a vis who gets to say what and who gets to define their meaning regardless of context (and who gets to define even that), into defining which beliefs are acceptable and which are not only not, but which are dangerous and evil. And like the guy who shouted "Jehovah" at a crowded Wailing Wall, you'll get it right in the head.

Just a few days ago, a protest in North Hollywood, California, got heated when skirmishes broke out between parents and pro-LGBT protesters.
Now something similar and even more chaotic has happened in Glendale, California, where members of the Armenian community were protesting LGBT content in schools. When Antifa showed up, things got ugly.
The Post Millennial reports:

An all-out brawl between Antifa and parents erupted outside a Glendale, California school board meeting on Tuesday.
“Breaking: Armenian-American men fight against #Antifa & far-left protesters outside the Glendale (CA) school board meeting. Immigrant families have been furious that elementary schools are doing pride events. Antifa have gathered to oppose the parents” TPM Senior Editor Andy Ngo tweeted.
Armenian and Hispanic families have been protesting the Glendale school board’s pride celebrations and the indoctrination of their children into radical gender ideology. Parents were there protesting, trying to work with Glendale Unified as to what will be taught during Pride Week.
“Basically there’s some so called Antifa or hoodlums, anti social folks who were here, 20-30 folks, who segregated themselves w LGBTQ protesters, then they moved away and went to a parking lot, they met a group of Armenian men. One the Antifa attacked an Armenian man and the men fought back” a source on the scene told The Post Millennial.
Over the years, this has been a pattern of behavior for the far left. They simply won’t allow anyone to protest an issue that they support. Only they are allowed to protest.

Our speech is violence. Their violence is speech. On a positive note, if you can call it that, is that this protest is far from MAGA country, right in the belly of the beast: Southern California. And it's from people allegedly part of the so-called Rainbow Coalition, or at least non-white. Meh, to the racialist left, Latinos and Armenians are caucasian (Armenia is geographically a part of or adjacent to the actual Caucasus mountain range).

Again, whoever controls the language controls a lot more than mere words. They control the very definition of those words and by extension both the context of those words and the definition of who is uttering them.

Over the last two years, the Biden [junta], with the help of the National School Boards Association, used manufactured reasoning to target concerned parents as potential “terrorists.” For his participation in the intimidation campaign, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland was hauled in front of Congress where he not only denied that the Department of Justice was weaponized against Americans for political reasons but also indicated he would keep targeting parents.
The SPLC continued the Biden regime’s mission by sullying the dozen grassroots groups as “reactionary anti-student inclusion” organizations that promote “anti-LGBTQ, racist and nationalist themes.”
“Groups like Moms for Liberty are a new battlefront vs inclusivity in schools, but are rooted in age-old white supremacy,” SPLC’s Intelligence Project Director Susan Corke tweeted on Tuesday.
“Name-calling parents who want to be a part of their child’s education as ‘hate groups’ or ‘bigoted’ just further exposes what this battle is all about: Who fundamentally gets to decide what is taught to our kids in school – parents or government employees? We believe that parental rights do not stop at the classroom door and no amount of hate from groups like this is going to stop that,” Moms for Liberty co-founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich told Fox News after the report’s release.
Outrage about the SPLC’s latest designation was not limited to the afflicted parent groups.
“I’ve long argued that the SPLC should lose its tax exempt status,” Sen. Tom Cotton tweeted on Tuesday after the report surfaced. “Engaging in systematic defamation is not a tax-exempt purpose.”
In 2019, the Arkansas Republican penned a letter to then-IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig urging him to investigate the SPLC for abusing its nonprofit status to “regularly engage[] in defamation of its political opponents.” Cotton additionally noted that the SPLC “operates as a tax-sheltered slush fund to enrich its leadership” . . .
. . . Meanwhile, the report received nothing but praise from corporate media outlets like MSNBC which reiterated the SPLC’s “hate” talking points and promoted the organization’s recent smears of parent groups as “extremely comprehensive, well-written, well-packaged". . .
. . . The SPLC may have found a friend in the corporate media complex, but its reputation precedes it.
The SPLC has long been known for tarnishing organizations with Christian missions or conservative ties as “hate groups.” The smear factory’s resolve to lump legitimate faith organizations into the same category as real threats like the Ku Klux Klan galvanized a Virginia man to attack the Family Research Council, a notable pro-marriage and pro-life player in the Washington D.C. area.
The 29-year-old’s attempt to “kill as many people as possible” was ultimately foiled by a heroic front desk employee. Despite the man’s confession that his mass shooting aspirations were rooted in the SPLC’s list of “anti-gay groups,” the SPLC, to this day, still classifies the FRC as a “designated hate group.”

Ah yes, the SPLC. Who the hell is the SPLC and what gives them the authority to define what is and what is not a "hate group?" And let's assume for a moment that there are these hate groups. Do they or do they not have the right to have their opinions and express their opinions regardless of how abhorrent or repugnant they may be? Unless they openly advocate or provably foment actual violence, then no one has the right to infringe on their Constitutional right of free speech.

In this case, these are not "hate groups." These are average, normal citizens protesting what they consider - and what any rational person living in a moral, normal and just world would consider - abhorrent, deviant brainwashing and sexualization of their children. If that's terrorism, then Yassir, that's my baby!

Okay, you can stop laughing now. The SPLC is a sham organization that has been pimping the myth of vast armies of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the KKK louder and more stridently in direct proportion to the near statistical non-existence of them: 20,000 or so in a nation of 330,000,000? Meanwhile, the actual violence and growing vocal calls for violence from their fellow travelers in BLM, AntiFa and of course the Peaceniks of the Religion of Peace – all of whom have committed acts of real racial terrorism that have taken scores of lives and cost billions of dollars in damage – are to be ignored.

No wonder they are in freakout mode now with Tucker Carlson garnering tens of millions of views of his first Twitter episode in just over 24 hours.

He who controls the language swings the Biggus Dickus. That is if they aren't hell bent on chopping it off.

So Fox is allowed to fire Tucker but he is not allowed to speak freely online?

In response to the move by Fox, Tucker's lawyers responded with the following statement:

“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events," said Carlson's lawyer, Bryan Freedman to Axios.

If you're at a loss for shaving equipment, I will once again put in a plug for Dorco. Dorco is the OEM that supplies the "Dollar Shave Club," which I used to use until their wokism got to be too much. It's a Korean manufacturer and there's not a whiff of wokeness around their marketing (though they have no marketing in the Anglosphere). I'd rather give my money to a foreigner than to a domestic wokist.

Their stuff is available under its own brand online (eBay, Amazon, various others). I use their "Pace 4" stuff and it is good. It's the same stuff as DSC sells, of course, and it's fine. The cartridges run about $1.50 each.

I think he wins this case - there is no way that Twitter can be considered a competing media platform, especially when they are not paying Tucker anything for what he's doing.

84 House GOP Drops Plan to Hold FBI Director in Contempt.

They never intended to. Got the press hype out of the announcement so the grift can kick up. That was the purpose.

The old Trump trick, just say you are doing it, you don't have to really do it.

According to the Axios article you linked, the FBI caved and is allowing access to the documents in question. The 4 people above me didn't even read the article.

I don't think Comer is someone I'm gonna believe on that one. Maybe conditions set by FBI were finally agreed to by Rs. Who knows?

Sounds more like Comer caved. The FBI is not turning over its files. The FBI disclosed the contents of just one document: a nonthingburger FD-1023 form. It's a FD-1023 from 2020 about allegations against Biden. FD-1023 forms are used to collect unverified reports from the FBI's confidential human sources, but do not necessarily constitute proof of wrongdoing.

It's basically a face-saving gesture for Comer, so he has an excuse to call off his farce of a contempt proceeding.

101 Monty Python also predicted the current state of Canadian Health Care with the "Live Organ Donation" scene in "The Meaning of Life."

Canada is literally putting to death people whose care would be very expensive to the state and harvesting their organs. And they brag about it.

Canada is performing the most organ transplants from MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) patients among the four countries studied that offer this practice.

Doctors in Canada, where medical assistance in dying (MAID) was decriminalized in 2016, performed almost half of the world’s organ transplants after MAID for that period (136), according to the publication.

Data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs accounted accounts for six per cent of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021.

There's this claptrap going around that AB-InBev isn't a leftist corporation, but is actually just a misunderstood conservative corporation because it gives money to GOP candidates.

The people who make this argument - that InBev isn't leftist because it supports the GOP - are caught up in multiple layers of nonsense that doesn't matter. This is likely because they still believe - somehow, and beyond all evidence or reason - that the GOP is somehow an opposition party or a force for good. It's laughable.

Go ahead. Support the GOP. See if I care. Spoiler alert: I don't. The GOP is no more my ally than the DNC is and even if the GOP *were* a legitimate party, supporting it doesn't excuse your internal wokism.

This isn't progress, and it isn't a victory and I refuse to give an "attaboy" to guys on "our side" (they aren't) when they come up with a mewling face-saving measure to pretend that they're something they not.

The documents were not handed over. They were allowed to be "inspected" in some form, under FBI supervision. Wray and the FBI refused lawful orders, played dumb, lied about the existence of the documents, then finally let the Committee "inspect" some version of it under supervision. That isn't complying with the order, and it isn't a victory. Wray spent weeks and months prevaricating and outright lying about it until finally playing along in the great dance of American political theater in an asinine face-saving measure.

This is no victory, and I will not call it one. Hold Wray in contempt anyway for all the prior obstruction and lying. Demand a full disclosure and release. Send the Sergeant-at-Arms across town to arrest him and throw his ass in solitary until he complies.

I think Fox News lawyers had to do this. The part of the deal with Dominion was to silence Tucker, and I'm not exactly sure a judge would sign off on a settlement between Fox News and Dominion that required Tucker being Seth Riched.

Fox News has lost their audience, lost their credibility, and any host still on their roster clearly cares more about the paycheck than their own personal reputation.

Suing Tucker won't bring any of that back, it only cements further the notion that those running Fox News are evil.

You keep saying that like it means something. The demand was for the entire committee to be able to review the document which again the FBI has been sitting on for 6 YEARS. They denied it existed and wouldn't even confirm the investigation was not closed. If we owned the media like the left does this would be the biggest story of the week, maybe year, but because we only have a handful that most don't even acknowledge it is getting little coverage.

The entire House Oversight Committee will now have access to a whistleblower document they FBI never wanted anyone to see that claims to show that Biden took a $5 million bribe when he was VP to change US policy. That is treason. It doesn't get any bigger.

"We lose" because "our side" is in on it. I admire your optimism in a way, but what over the past eight years makes you think that this is anything other than a show where the deep state gets its way? Your point is precisely *why* this is such a nothingburger. The FBI sat on evidence of blatant foreign corruption of major politicians for years, lied about it, refused to discuss it, and then finally agreed (for press purposes, anyway) to disclose it - in an extremely limited way that nobody can see - while admitting no wrongdoing and seeing no punishment.

If this were a win, Wray and his predecessors would be in clapirons under a contempt charge pending prosecution. He isn't. They aren't. They won't be. Ever. There is no "our side" and there is "taking the win." There hasn't been a win. Not in at least a decade, likely closer to four of them.

223 220 Re the “n-word” I watched an episode of Below Deck where a stew quoted a rap song which included the forbidden word. Great outrage ensued and she was driven away in shame. It’s all a trap. If you don’t like rap music, you’re a bigot, but if you like rap music and quote it’s lyrics you’re also a bigot.

Quite.

Definitely sacrilegious Fen.
Posted by: tubal at June 08, 2023 08:33 AM (PCK5/)

I would disagree.

It's more like this, if you want to get all technical and finicky,

the film, "Life of Brian"itself is not sacrilegious or heretical, the intent of the film is sacrilegious and heretical.

The Life of Brian is about some ordinary schmoe, who is mistaken for the Messiah and gets into shenanigans using the events and iconography of Christ's life story.

This is the fig leaf of course- "Hey, Brian isn't Christ. We even show Christ at the Sermon on the Mount.

However, by the end, the viewer is supposed to think some like this" "Oh, those crazy Jews and their Messiah Mania. That's probably what happened in real life with Jesus Christ! He was just some guy. Well, my belief in Christianity is certainly silly."

So, malicious intent is really what "Life of Brian" is all about.

226 >>If this were a win, Wray and his predecessors would be in clapirons under a contempt charge pending prosecution. He isn't. They aren't. They won't be. Ever. There is no "our side" and there is "taking the win." There hasn't been a win. Not in at least a decade, likely closer to four of them.

Another reason why we lose.

Is there anyone here who doesn't understand that the FBI/DOJ is hopelessly corrupt and we are their target? Yes, the game is rigged and we are fighting a complete uphill battle. It is beyond absurd to judge progress by what should happen if the rules and the law were being fairly applied. They haven't been for years and we all know it.

Who is going to throw Wray in prison? Garland? If we are going to beat the swamp we need public opinion and for the corruption to be exposed to everyone not just our little corner of the internet. Some seem to make the assumption everyone knows what we do. They do not because the media won't report it. So our wins are incremental and we don't get to use the DOJ to corruptly go after our opponents.

Comer is doing an investigation of the Biden and by extension the DOJ/FBI. He is making progress despite their attempts.

233 It occurs to me that the actions against Tucker Carlson are not solely being propagated by FOX/NewsCorp. I think there are other forces at work. Whether they will be successful at muzzling Carlson is debatable, but given how rabid certain groups within the Deep State are I wouldn't bet against them.

Not even close. A bunch of people tuned in because they curious. A bunch of people tuned in because Carlson is the enemy. A bunch of people are from foreign countries who may or may not care about America's censorship regime, but they like seeing alternative opinions.

A big chunk of people are in the group you described, but by no means all of them. It's a huge number regardless, and you can be sure they aren't all - or probably even majority - hate-watching Carlson. The most appealing sub-group are the people who are curious. Some of them might move from "curious" to "interested."

From the National Weather Service: A code orange air quality alert means that air pollution concentrations within the region may become unhealthy for sensitive groups. Sensitive groups include children...people suffering from asthma... heart disease or other lung diseases...and the elderly. The effects of air pollution can be minimized by avoiding strenuous activity or exercise outdoors.

Good advice for those groups. But I haven't seen anything about a lockdown, have you?

250 Toward the end of Huff’s book, a disturbing chapter details a campaign of harassment against him by what appears to be the FBI. Most of this chapter is taken up with an extensive quotation from a legal brief written by Huff’s attorney. The story is so astonishing—it involves a gun fight on Huff’s property—that one is left with only two possible conclusions: Either Huff is out of his mind (but nothing else seems to indicate this), or that parts of the government were determined to silence someone with inside knowledge of what is beginning to look like the biggest scandal to ever emerge from the biodefense scene. (It was the campaign of harassment, ironically, that compelled Huff to write his book.)

This.

I stumbled across the link a few hours after they posted and watched. The next morning, early, my sister sent a text encouraging me to watch it (she had found the link in the early a.m.) followed by my brother agreeing, because he, too had seen the link and immediately watched. I then sent the link to my parents and remaining sibling, who also watched.

I am wondering how many other families/friend groups had a similar experience? I think there were a lot of unique viewers in that 170 million count!

Aside from Mary NO ONE IN THIS MOVIE IS SHOWN AS ANYTHING BUT A CRAVEN OR EVIL PIECE OF SHIT. ALL are fallen. It is the 7 deadlies on display. That is by design.

306 Question voted down by trolls on the Dan Bongino show yesterday:

What are people supposed to do when they are physically attacked by Antifa/BLM? What the left wants is for you NOT TO DEFEND YOURSELF. They don't want violence, they want ONE SIDED VIOLENCE. They want to intimidate people into silence. Why is it that responding to leftist violence is the only crime as far as Dan Bongino is concerned? Why does he condemn the parents, who were responding to being attacked, but he concedes to the left their street violence? Where is his condemnation of the left for using violence? It ought to be 100 times as loud as his condemnation of parents defending themselves. THE VERY LAST THING ANTIFA/BLM WANTS IS PEOPLE FIGHTING BACK WHEN THEY ARE ATTACKED.

315 If you wanted to run a psychological operation to firm up belief in intelligent extraterrestrial life--whether to cover for something else or to keep certain monies flowing or what have you--then convincing officials with sterling credentials who already work on the unexplained anomalies question that a secret inner ring exists and finds dead grays in their saucers would be a pretty good way to do it. And until these former officials, named and unnamed, start saying they have put their hand into an alien side, we need not decide whether they are lying. It can be true that Grusch and his colleagues and the reporters all believe these programs have found material evidence for exotic intelligence, and they can even have seen pictures of what they believe is the evidence, without those allegations being true. The human heart is easily deceived, the brain even more so.

No question. I certainly am not trying to minimize we have a much tougher job than the left since they control so many of our institutions both within and outside the government.

In fact, that is kind of the point. We are basically fighting an insurgent fight against a deeply entrenched opponent and we are going to always get huge wins, usually won't. It will be incremental wins and chipping away until we get a breakthrough. But we should at least acknowledge progress when we get a win even if it doesn't seem that huge.

Insta has long been among the worst with this. I remember when it was new and my kids were all on it - I was like "I'd better check this thing out" and literally right away I started getting "connection requests" from (probably fake) people/bots with OBSCENE profile images. I'd log in and see just porn - but delivered by "friend request." My kids reported the same experience. I was shocked and - working tech, doing social media - thought "well when I tell Insta they will fix this."

Nope - they were entirely dismissive. They had to know about it; they did not care. There weren't even any FILTERS kids / parents could use at that time! (this was pre-acquisition by Meta).

Ray Epps, like Lon Horuchi (sp?) will someday disappear and never be seen again.

369 78 JJ, being edgy this morning. I noticed the 88 thing right off.

You know, the first time I saw someone mention that '88' was a nazi reference, I thought of the 88mm anti-tank gun that was so effective.

Me too. The 88 also made a great anti-aircraft gun. An artillery piece with no equal in versatility?

*We* know what Epps did. DOJ knows what Epps did. *We* know the DOJ knows that we know and they just don't give a fvck what we think about them. They're a corrupt organization.

374 but my tongue got tangled up and I spat out "nickelfucker."

O.k. That's funny. Thanks for letting me know.

375 When one looks at the ruin that has come to our beloved nation, don't look at the Democrats. They started being taken over by the very dangerous American Left in the late 1960's and that takeover was complete by the late 1990's. Anyone and can see who they are or learn what they're about rather easily.
But where you need to look and focus your ire is upon the one's who have been their enablers, the Republicans.
How many times has a Republican-led House approved a budget with funding for anti-American institutions, causes or enemy nations? How many times has a Republican-led Senate confirmed openly anti-American or even Communists to head critical departments of the U.S. government (IRS, DOJ, CIA, FBI, ED) with the lame excuse of "well the president should have his team."
THIS party - Republicans - are the same bunch who wouldn't even build a border "danged fence" or fund a border wall or institute e-verify or merely fund border enforcement only. They are the same party who screamed they opposed the murder of babies in the womb, yet fully gave taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood at every opportunity.
THIS IS THE PARTY THAT WILL SAVE AMERICA?!? Don't bet on it.

376 Good morning, all, & thank you, J.J.

Moms for Liberty has been credited with bringing new voters...20-30 year females...to the Republican Party. Whether or not true, the group has been getting PR, especially around FL & the Philly region.

The same time, several same themed articles appeared in the Washington Examiner: Muslim group decries Maryland school district for blocking parental opt-outs (4/7/23); Religious parents sue Maryland school district for violating Maryland law (5/24/23); Maryland Democrat calls Muslim families white supremacists (20 hrs. ago). And now also the recent Post Millennial & CatholicVote articles, the latter with some interesting tidbits including, "The riot was led in part by local far-left politician Maebe A. Girl, D-CA, a male drag queen...currently running again in the crowded 2024 race to replace Schiff, who is running for the U.S. Senate."

SPLC wrote of Armenian Genocide in History & Anti-Muslim Hate Groups. The left/SPLC needs to keep the "other" middle/middle upper class parents out of defined MAGA territory, its prey, so when the time comes for the really big f*#@ing deal stuff, fewer protest.

WW histories. Chinese Uyghurs.

Peace

377 #132 Fair enough.

My parents hated that I became a Christian, (I grew up thinking G-d was a swearword) and blasted me as being a foolish dupe of religious frauds.

Years later, I held my atheist father's hand as he died, tears in his eyes that I'll never forget. A few more years, my atheist mother was visited in hospital by her nephew and his wife, in the course of conversation speaking of Jesus, of His offer to her (and the world) a soul salvation authorized by His own sacrificial death, predicted by King David in Psalms 53, and Isaiah in chapter 53.

Mom accepted Christ; her face suddenly lit up with a huge smile, she was looking at something in the room that no one else saw. I believe she saw heaven; (I knew of another dying Christian) who exclaimed upon death, "Oh, it's just beautiful!"

We are blessed in America to believe what we want to, at least until now. Currently, it seems Sodom and Gomorrah, the Days of Noah are making a comeback with the loud approval of a world awash in bread and circus-s, tats and tits.

Since it all turned out so well before in history...well, here we are again. Ecclesiastes 1

378 This is one of those creept coincidences. Yesterday i was watching Top Gear and they were talking about car chase cars, which made me look up which car they used in the French Connection, and of course that picture showed up when i searched.

I probably haven't seen that photo in a decade, but now 2 days in a row.

379 With this Orwellian editing going on, you better see the 2004 Oscar winner (back when that meant something) Crash, the Director's Cut. Amazing movie, especially now when that word cannot be uttered, let alone inspire an entire movie. Also, the writer director was sued by a woman for sexual abuse and lost, all engineered by Scientology he claims as he is a famous apostate. So see it now before it goes down the memory hole.

380 VDH has fallen for the myth that only Omaha Beach was a difficult landing zone. Although Omaha had the highest number of casualties, the beach with the highest casualty rate was Juno. Despite this, Juno had the deepest penetration into Normandy on the first day. The problem at Juno was a long line of hotels and resorts that had been turned into a heavily fortified wall. Fortunately, the Canadians were using some of the "Funnies", i.e. specialized mechanical equipment developed by the Brits. The Americans thought they were silly and probably paid a price at Omaha.

381 You can't be Canadian if you don't believe people can't marry whoever they want! You don't belong here!

So I need to support sibling marriages, parents marrying children, interspecies human marriages, marriages between humans and inanimate objects, multiple party marriages...
No limits to LOVE!, amiright?

382 The Daily Pulse would rather have Biden be re-elected then Ron DeSantis be POTUS. If the party can't get on the same page there's no chance in hell of winning.

Dang...I need to proofread more.

That would be Psalms 22.
