Good morning Horde.

4. Have a nice weekend!
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 3/2 Reforger asked for prayers for his Coworker “D”, a widowed mom of 4 who is having a rough time with daughter #1. D’s daughter had to be incarcerated. She went nuts, trashed her room, broke things, and even kicked a cop. She could use a lot of prayers.
4/20 Update – Coworker D’s daughter is going to go live with her dad. Mom is at wit’s end. They hope a change in scenery will provoke some positive changes, since nothing else is working. 2/29 – DaveT asks for prayers. We had prayed in the past for him, as he was trying to save his cats and his home from repossession (due to a relative who burdened the family home with debt). DaveT is over 65 and is not able to work much. The cats are elderly and one is blind, and the only family he has. Things had turned around and it looked like he was going to be fine last summer, but now a new judge is on the case and seems to want to kick DaveT and the cats out of the house. Please pray. If anyone wants to contribute, Annie’s Stew has the details of his GiveSendGo.
4/27 Update – DaveT was able to get life-saving care for his cat, Dennis, and now Dennis is recovering well. It was a miracle, both for the results and the reasonable cost. The sleazy “bank” is still working to evict DaveT. 3/3 – Commissar of Plenty and Lysenkoism in Solidarity with the Struggle to maintain Moron standards asked for prayers as he is scared to death of some much-needed surgery. Pain, healing, iyiyi! Even the red tape involved in scheduling. Thank you all again!
4/10 Update – Recovering from diverticulitis surgery. It’s rough. Much pain, and there is talk of another surgery. He is miserable. 3/9 – Hadrian the Seventh asked for prayers for Her Majesty, who is having knee replacement surgery. He’d like prayers for a successful operation, but also an uneventful recovery. Her previous surgery in 2019 (on the other knee) was marked by great pain and the effect of the medication was terrible.
4/13 Update – Her Majesty is on a cane now and doing very well. The downside is that now she’s no longer bedridden, she’s going around the house finding things for me to do. She goes to physical therapy twice a week, which is exhausting, but she wants to drive the RV to Washington state in a couple of months for our National Specialty, so she’ll have to put in the work. 3/9 – Dr_No asked for prayers for his daughter, Megan. We had prayed for her in 2021, when she had cancer. Her cancer is still in remission, but she has blood clots in her lungs. She went to the local ER, where they said everything was normal. She sent a message to her PCP, to ask her to review the situation. She is still weak, and gets tired if a conversation lasts more than 1-2 sentences. Please pray that she be restored to full health. Thanks once again to the Horde for the help.
4/13 Update – The shingles have passed the most painful point (the first two weeks), and she’s now mostly pain-free. The colon cancer is still in remission. Thanks so much for sending words up for her recovery. 3/23 – Jewells would appreciate prayers for her niece, who is in the hospital for the second time in a week. She was diagnosed with pneumonia the first time, but still felt awful. She went back to ER, and they admitted her again. Her oxygen level was 76. She is the niece who is fighting cervical cancer.
4/13 Update – They suspended treatment for Jewells’ niece for 6 weeks and have her on oxygen. Her cancer is responding to the treatment, but at an awful price. 3/23 – Fenelon Spoke needs prayers for Jessie, their “retired” organist. Jessie had fallen. Nothing was broken, but it is a setback for her and she is in pain.
4/20 Update – Jessie is in less pain now. 3/28 – Reforger asked for prayers for his wife, who is applying for a promotion. The new job would triple her salary.
4/20 Update – Mrs. Reforger got the job. 3/30 – mindful webworker asked for prayers as he is going under the knife again for what will be a few hours’ surgery and maybe a week in the hospital. His surgeon used the word “mystery” three times while describing what they will be doing.
4/13 Update – After 3 intense hours, the surgeon packed out his pickaxe and jackhammer, weary but confident that he had removed all the cement-like crud blocking mindful webworker’s intestines. The next few months will be spent recovering and healing. After 9 inhospitable days, he is trying to adjust to home life. He’s asked MiladyJo to wake him every couple of hours to check his vital signs. Every day is a gift. Prayers for all in need.
4/1 – News from Washington Nearsider: His savings have expired and May's bills cannot yet be paid. Another custody hearing - to reevaluate the March 13 determination to give his ex full custody - has been scheduled for May 13th, so that's a date on the calendar towards which he has to work.
He has added one (1) client to his custom model aircraft list, and hopes to add several more, even though he can only work on one at a time. Having a known stream of income is better than not. You can contact Nearsider at washingtonnearsider at gee mail to learn about shipping and timelines or to discuss any details. Interested Morons can look at some small segment of his previous work by heading to this link: https://tinyurl.com/yzmucshu
On the job front, Nearsider had a promising interview, only to be told at the end that though his writing samples, resume, attitude, background, and presentation were all exceptional, his removal from federal service prevented any path forward. Nearsider explained the details leading up to his removal, and while the panel expressed their sympathies for his situation and their admiration at his courage, their position was unchanged. He suspects this employer was simply the first to be so direct, and that he's missed out on several other opportunities for the same reason.
Several contractors have contacted him in response to applications he's submitted and he's hoping at least one of them will be willing to focus on the writing, resume, attitude, background, and presentation vice the end of his federal career. As usual, more follows.
Since several people encouraged it, he has set up a GiveSendGo account. Please contact Annie for the details, if you wish to contribute.
4/24 Update – After receiving an overwhelming outpouring of support from the Horde, Washington Nearsider was able to pay the mortgage for May and June, and is less panicked about losing his house. He also received a promotion at Home Depot, so he is managing a department, which will also increase his pay at bit. He loves you all and is so grateful. 4/3 – Notsothoreau posted that Mrs. Salty (as in Mrs. NaClyDog) had a bad fall and broke four ribs. She tested positive for Covid, as well. Prayers for quick healing and that she is out of the hospital soon.
4/26 Update – Mrs. Salty continues to make progress, and your prayers helped. Soon she will be back to where she was before the fall. 4/4 – J. J. Sefton could use prayers. Here was his posting:
“After suffering some sort of seizure back in February, while the initial MRI and spinal tap showed nothing, a subsequent MRI this past Friday evidently seems to indicate that I might have some sort of brain tumor/growth that would require immediate attention. As in surgery.
That said, on a positive note -- and I'm holding onto this bit of news as positive with all my might -- the medical neurology team and the surgical neurology team are apparently still reading the tea leaves to see what kind of surgery, if any, is required to deal with this. I am hoping against hope for that non-surgical option but am preparing myself as best as I can for whatever is to be.” 4/8 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her husband. He was stubborn and didn’t go to the doctor for about 5 days and has shingles. He is in pain.
4/20 Update – FenSpouse is much better. He still has a little tingling but the pain from the shingles is much better. 4/10 – FortWorthMike updated the Horde. His MIL, who was going through cancer treatments, had miraculous results. The tumor is reduced so much, there is no sign of cancer. They won’t say cancer-free, but it’s just something to monitor now. 4/13 – NaughtyPine asked for prayers. There was a “psychic” who went on a murder-suicide rampage. A 9-year-old girl survived the attack, but her baby sister died in her arms. The surviving little girl needs prayers. 4/13 – Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd gave an update. His former son-in-law has died. It is something of a relief. He was an abusive, manipulative, drug-using alcoholic whose hobby was breaking into cars. He was well-known to law enforcement and the justice system. He had a remarkable capacity for wiping out wealth, either through outright theft or negligence. A.H. Lloyd’s daughter tried to leave him multiple times, but he was able to woo her back again and again. The last straw was when he used their tax refund for an Only Fans girl. The deceased is survived by his children, who he should have supported, but have been in A.H. Lloyd’s care for more than a year. Pray for the deceased if you like, but please pray for the children and their mother. 4/13 – Cybersmythe sent an update on his job search. He has received a formal offer of employment, for a job he thinks he wants. He appreciates all the kind thoughts and prayers. 4/13 – Nurse Ratched asked for prayers for her Marine, J, and his wife, M, who are having their wedding celebration on 4/13. They are sweet kids, respectful and kind to each other and would benefit greatly from the power of Horde prayers. 4/16 – Notsothoreau asked for prayers for a co-worker’s mentor and long time friend, DM, who has been diagnosed with throat cancer. Prayers for DM and also for his wife, that they would be strengthened and, God willing, that DM would be healed. 4/18 – Misanthropic Humanitarian asked for prayers, as he will be having his right knee replacement surgery on 5/6/24. 4/20 – AnchorPoint wanted to share an answered prayer, as well as a request. The answered prayer is: AnchorPoint’s dad passed away about 2 years ago. The estate was not going to be a windfall, but they hoped it would be enough to pay off their mortgage. After all the work was done and all the bills were paid, the final check was $72.38 off from the total mortgage payoff amount! The prayer request is: AnchorPoint’s relationship with one sister is bad. The sister has had a lot of trauma in her life and significant mental health issues and physical issues. AnchorPoint asks for prayers that their relationship would be restored. 4/20 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son. God willing, her son will graduate in May with a degree in horticulture. He has a paid internship with a multinational agricultural company in the PA Dutch area starting right after graduation. He needs to find a place to live. 4/20 – Defenestratus humbly requests prayers for a friend named Jourdan, a wonderful young woman with a 2-year-old daughter. Jourdan had gotten the good news that her breast cancer tumors had disappeared after chemo. But now she caught a nasty bug, and Jourdan has spent a week in the hospital getting blood transfusions. 4/20 - Miley, okravangelist asked for prayers for her brother. They think he is on the verge of a breakdown, stressing out over prepping. He flies off the handle and is freaking everyone else out. Miley could use prayers, too, since worrying about her brother is making her ill.
4/25 Update – Her brother seems to have calmed down lately, but prayers are still welcome! 4/27 – rhennigantx posted an update on his friend, Tim, who we have been praying for. Tim is not doing well. He is back on the vent and unresponsive. Rhennigantx doesn’t think Tim will make it. 4/27 – Someone Else requested prayers, as she is going through difficult family issues with an elderly aunt as well as dealing with some professional problems at this time. 4/27 – JW asked for prayers for Libby, who has a glioblastoma tumor that affects her word choices, so communication is very difficult. Libby has ahd surgery, radiation, and chemo, but is worse in the 4 weeks since treatment ended. 5/2 – A Dude in MI requested prayers for dude Jr who is having a rough situation at school. Please pray for a quick resolution and no lasting effects. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

I spent last evening saying farewell to some long time colleagues. The consultants our management brought in deemed them expendable.
So, praying for some wonderful people.
Is it wrong to pray that the consultants get a flat tire as they drive to the airport to catch a ride home on their private jet?

We get so many of these 'boyfriend kills nuisance child' such senseless violence and lack of remorse. Poor kid. Hurts to even think about it, a grown man beating a child to death. I can condone a slap on the bottom but no more.

And for Israel to be victorious, and for the pedophilia networks to be brought down, and that our "leaders" be led to do the right things.

Had a conversation with a Lefty colleague, and she was disgusted by the protests. Even she knew it was not college students naturally uprising but the work of career activists taking advantage of campus environment (administrators not wanting to bring in the police, etc.). Interesting.

I read that Hamas is blocking traffic around Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
My experience with this almost certainly has nothing to do with Hamas, given our location. But on Tuesday, when we were trying to adjust the flow on my daughter's shunt at our Children's Hospital, somebody pulled the fire alarm and forced an evacuation. We eventually got it done, but she didn't improve enough, and we went to surgery on Thursday.
The surgery went well, and she appears to be much better, at least for now. But yesterday, when we were waiting for the neurosurgeon to do her rounds so we could be discharged, somebody (I suspect the same sonofabitch) called in a bomb threat, and forced a lockdown. Took us all day to get out, and we'd been up since 4.30a for the followup CT scan.
Hamas or otherwise, people who deliberately disrupt hospitals should be publicly flogged within in an inch of their worthless lives, before serving no less than ten years in prison.

-
Similar to how when a boss intends to do some expensive stupid project and forms a team of underlings to tell him things about it. He's already going to do it but knows this way he can say "the team determined" and there will be no one to blame.
Those consultants are no different than getting someone else to kill your dog so no one blames you and you feel better about yourself (see what I did there?)

"I can't wait to get out of this joint!"
"When I get released I'm going to go on a bender!"
"I really kneed this surgery!"

HARARE, Zimbabwe—On a recent afternoon, Rutendo Manyowa handed over a U.S. $5 bill to pay for her $3.50 order of chicken, fries and a soft drink at a popular fast-food joint in the Zimbabwean capital. But instead of a $1 bill and two quarters in change, the cashier handed Ms. Manyowa three slips of paper, bearing the restaurant’s name and the amount of money she could use to buy her next meal.

It's amusing that the left insists that inflation is a worldwide problem and not just a U.S. one and that's proof that Biden is awesome and doing a great job.
Yes, of course inflation is rampant around the world. This tiny little restaurant almost perfectly explains why.

Oh man, YD, can't imagine how awful that was!
Glad your daughter got the care she needed.
Having logged many hours in hospitals with loved ones, can understand what an incredibly cruel thing they did to you and the other patients.

I'm challenging you to see how many Dad jokes you can deploy in the pre-op area, OR, and Recovery.
"I can't wait to get out of this joint!"
"When I get released I'm going to go on a bender!"
"I really kneed this surgery!"

I'm surprised the Hamas sympathizers haven't moved off the college quad and over to city hall. I think in most places they're operating now they'd be able to do it unmolested.
And I still think where they've been pushed out the kids need to be rounded up and brought back to clean up their mess. A subtle lesson that really needs to be taught to these shitheads.

Remembering those on the Prayer List in my Rosary intentions.
Her Majesty has been suffering from nausea and no appetite for several days. While her knee is getting better, there's some fluid weeping from the incision area. And she has had to go in and get further work done on her expensively-repaired eyes to remove scar tissue that's formed around the new lenses. Please continue to spare a thought for her.
Me? I feel fine.

Well, that's the question is, isn't it?
Unlike in the 60s, we're all, even most(?) Democrats, are savvy enough to know that these protests are fake Merely paid for, yet evil, astroturfing gulling the idiots and midwits and led by professional Anti-American, anti-Israel protestors and furriners.
This is not a "spontaneous" uprising by the youth of America.
But, will Democrats horrified by what their party has wrought, vote for Trump and the Republicans? Will they withhold their donations to the Dims?
Or will they simply think something stupid like- "Oh, these terrible people are ruining our beautiful beautiful message of peace and equality! We must vote harder for good people like kindly, grandfather Joe Biden!"

The activists running the show correctly understand that campus police are less accountable to local politicians. No one elects a university chancellor, but you can have a voter rebellion remove a weak city council or mayor.
They've chosen their targets with great care.

But, it looks like all he knows is "the bumper sticker".
Notice how confidently he spouts the slogan, but when asked to explain it-
he can't. He bumbles and stumbles around like Obama asked about the number of states in the United States of America.
He's an idiot.
That clown is simply used to people like Our Betters nodding sagely along with the bumper sticker slogan,

Based on other statements he's made in the past, it looks like he knows *precisely* what he's doing and is evil rather than ignorant.

Evil? Probably.
But, it looks like all he knows is "the bumper sticker".
Notice how confidently he spouts the slogan, but when asked to explain it-
he can't. He bumbles and stumbles around like Obama asked about the number of states in the United States of America.
He's an idiot.
That clown is simply used to people like Our Betters nodding sagely along with the bumper sticker slogan,
He probably doesn't even understand the bumper sticker, he just knows he's taking down capitalism and the eeeeeeevil US of A.

On subjects already raised, I'd advise going with the naked gardening day, and totally ignoring any coffee is (maybe) bad for you articles.

Prayers up for all asking and needing.
One of my favorite on again off again girlfriends from High School passed away the day before yesterday.
At 51.
Suddenly but not unexpectedly.
Don't know the details but looks like she was pretty sick for about a year.
I hadn't seen her in about 15.
I should stop being such a hermet and get out more. Never know when you see someone if it will be the last time.

Here Come The Polls. Biden/Trump tied again. I just laugh my ass off. We just had a New York Congressional special election in the 26th district. Polls said the Democrat, Kennedy, would win by 10, he won by 37 fucking points. A Blue Wave is coming this Roevember!
Hillary's loss suggests the assumption Trump was so unelectable meant Hillary was clearly going to win, so a lot of people voted 3rd party or stayed home with the assumption Hillary would win, and it hurt.
The theory is people will stay home if the margin is too wide, so both campaigns will artificially make the race look closer? I'm not so sure that I agree with that theory. Won't people on both sides stay home if the margin is wide?
Don't get me wrong, we need to overwhelm them at the ballot box because this isn't going to be a fair election, so whatever it takes to get every Democrat out to vote I am for it.
It's entirely possible Biden wins running away. But based on the midterms, which were extremely close, the 2020 election which was also close, and the consistency of polling in an election year (as shown), I think we're looking at a nail biter.

Prayers for all those listed intentions, for the well being of all the Horde, and for those who lost nearly everything in last week's tornados. The one that passed just west of our parish church & school did immense damage to dozens of homes. Miraculously, there was no loss of life but a huge outpouring of support from the community.
Let us pray that we can all find ways to be God's hands and feet when our neighbors need us. It turns out to be a blessing for both those helping and those in need. It is humbling to see God's awesome power AND His healing grace at work simultaneously in a horrible yet wonderful situation.

Thank you all for your prayers. My daughter has taken her kids "up north" for the weekend with some of her friends from high school. We welcome the peace and quiet.
The day before yesterday, my granddaughter just blurted out: "My dad is dead." I agreed. "That makes me said." I said it was okay for her to feel that way. "He rode to the hospital in an ambulance! That's where he died, in a hospital." I agreed. She then asked if we could go outside, and that's what we did.
We're still sorting through things My daughter didn't file taxes because of everything going on, so I'm helping her with that. The new reality is sinking in, and that includes the fact that her ex will not get better and will no provide income for her. This means she will be here for a while longer and she has to look for work and so on.

Same here. Soil temperature was in proper range (60 F), 10 day forecast shows no danger. Everything planted (corn, zucchini, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce) looks happy.
Ordered an eighty gallon compost bin soon to arrive.
I may be supremely confident that Trump (and the American people) will win in November, but it doesn't hurt to hedge the bet a little with some extra preppin'.
Technically too early to plant but I did it anyway.

I'm shaved and showered, I've put out the garbage, and I don't have to get dressed up until about nine. Pretty good for a Saturday!

There are a lot of things she should probably do but isn't, and many things shouldn't do and still does. I've got limited options in terms of advice.
As for the kids, I've not been impressed with the results of therapy. A lot of the kiddie shrinks around here are very trans affirming, and you never know if one of them is going to dime you out to CPS (which has already happened).
A sad state of affairs, but that's where we are.

Inflation has more to do with how much money there is in the local system than they currency.
I think all the money that is poured into Zimbabwe is pouring out to cover balance of payment issues caused by the Zimb Schilling's hyperinflation.
It is sort of like why consumer goods made in China are more expensive in Los Angeles than in Billings Montana

Me too, vmom. Mentally, anyway. When I went to bed last night, I spent an hour coughing as if the Coof had hit me. Finally I gave in and took two cold/flu pills with acetaminophen, which I usually avoid. But I slept seven hours and had no real side effects. Odd to relate, but a short pipe smoke this morning with my coffee cleared my nasal passages up.
Maybe I won't need the cold pills tonight . . . but I'm prepared to take them again if I have to.

On the retirement front: Yesterday I composed my letter for my boss, who'll be back on Monday. I want to retire by the last day of May, or I will lose half of my banked vacation hours, a significant chunk of money. Now, if he wants me to work two more months, say, and I agree, I can make that up out of my usual savings. But I don't want to stay that long.
Plus we are slated to move offices sometime in the near future. Guess who'll be in charge of organizing that? No, I want to skip that and the commute, parking, and other hassles.
Miss Linda is decidedly unthrilled by the whole idea.

I am not at all confident about that. I think larger forces are in play. The past couple of years have me firmly convinced that demons are real, and taking an active role in the world.
We keep trying to explain away bizarre behavior, but it makes perfect sense if you consider the goals of the Enemy. That is what we have to concentrate on, and we are turning the tide through prayer, fasting, almsgiving and spreading the faith.
I've noticed that our bishop has gently reminded anyone that while the American Church no longer enforces obligatory abstention from meat on Fridays outside of Lent, it is expected that some other penance be performed if meat is consumed, such as a Rosary or fasting.
A nearby parish is being renovated and restored to its pre-Vatican II appearance, including the altar rail. People are feeling it everywhere. When people say "we can't vote our way out of this," I used to disdain them, but now I agree.

Coffee related - I met a lady with really gorgeous long hair, on which I complimented her.
She looked very flattered, and confided that her hair had been thinning and she'd tried all the usual derm stuff - minoxidil etc - but what finally seemed to help was taking collagen.
Thereupon I started adding a half scoop of powdered collagen (from hubby's stash of supplements) to my morning coffee. It has no taste, but it seems to remove some of the coffee's acidity.
I can't tell if my hair is improving yet.

Prayers for all. I have a prayer request. My SIL and daughter are headed north today. My SIL is interviewing with the Republican county leaders of a neighboring county for the interim position of Prosecuting Attorney. Their objective is to determine if he is electable. He's going into MAGA country and he's not necessarily a Trump supporter. He can't stand Biden but I'm not sure who he supports. He's definitely qualified for the job and has the values that mesh. Getting my kids out of Spokane is consistently on my prayer list. It would add an hour or so to any trip to see them, including a mountain pass, but that's a small price to pay. It's a beautiful area. I would love to see my grandkids grow up in an area like that.

A simple explanation of our economy over the last fifty years is that advances in technology and global outsourcing have made making things much more efficient, which should have lowered prices substantially for all sorts of things, but this deflationary benefit was eaten up by growth in government (5 to 20% of jobs), bloated big company payrolls, and government handouts.
People with "Mike Rowe" jobs saw little or no benefit from this.
And there's a high correlation between the split between those who've benifitted and those who have not, to the increasing political divide between MAGA America and those in the Borg.

I don't think what's happening is very mysterious, particularly not when the enemy tells you what they are going to do and then do it.
The globalists have been jonesing for one world government since the end of WWII and they've been using globalist organizations like the UN and NGOs to accomplish their goals. The bigger problem is getting people to look at what is happening and realize it's all connected. It's not just a series of random events, it's all part of plan.
Many people wrote all of this off as a wild conspiracy theory and laughed it off for years. Not so funny now that it is happening.

I've never been into plants (except for occasional items of food) or gardening. To me, plants are just, you know, *there*. They don't *do* anything with you, unlike cats and dogs. Yes, they grow, and they flower or scatter leaves all over, but that's not something you can interact with like having a cat on your lap.
I've always said I like the low-maintenance kind of plant. Say, silk ones.

Gotcha, the extra c is germanic
However, the lack of bills and coin is is a reflection on the availability of USD, and a nearly complete lack of banking for any sort of credit.
this is one of the reasons El Salvador went to the Chivo wallet / lightning network for bitcoin. Not because Bitcoin solves anything, but because it makes money transfer independent of their fairly primitive banking system that did not service rural areas where most of the actual need for banking was.

money that is poured into Zimbabwe is pouring out to cover balance of payment issues caused by the Zimb Schilling's hyperinflation.
It is sort of like why consumer goods made in China are more expensive in Los Angeles than in Billings Montana
-
My point was that the US dollar is what world trade occurs in. When it is in trouble the rest of the world follows.
The left will scream that the economy and inflation isn't Bidens fault because other countries that trade and base the value of their currency against the dollar are also experiencing inflation.
Of course they are. How else would that work?

When Covid broke there was much uncertainty over how bad it would be, more so than with new strains of the flu that routinely appear.
That's because it was created in a bio-weapons lab.
And insiders like Fauci fully understood the uncertainty.
I'd bet that Trump knew of this uncertainty early and took a cautious approach. Without the aura of immunity created by the vaccine, America wouldn't have gone back to work. Even if the shots had been placebos, they helped limit the panic so people did go back to work,

One does get the sense that the NYC prosecutorial team is not their A-Team. They found some people who had zero legal sense, or at least legal ethics, and who weren't bright enough to realize how stupid they would be made to look.

That's part of my problem. How do you know it's still alive? Unlike an animal, it doesn't move normally, so when it's sitting there alive, it looks the same to me as it would dead. (Yeah, I know, parts of it will turn brown and drop off.)
I also have to consider my cats. Certainly I don't want a plant that, if they chew part of it, will make them sick. I love the way poinsettias look -- but I've read they can kill a cat who eats it.

Rising wages are an effect of inflation, never the cause. The cause is an increase in money supply, and that's been underway since the late 1960s. Peacetime deficits were generally unknown prior to that time, and now they are endemic. Dropping the gold standard allowed unlimited money production, and the "target" of 3% was set to numb the pain without shutting off the spigot.

I like growing my own food for consumption as I know it has been grown in nutrient rich soil. It's not coming from a 'factory farm' that pulls all the zinc from the soil and never replenishes it.
Zinc is big time necessary for protection from virus. The countries with the highest percentage of zinc in the soil were virtually untouched by covid. USA soil is middling. Probably venturing into the poor range based on economic pressures to keep costs low.

We still have no idea how deadly it was in China. When it got over here, it may have already been weakening.
But there is also the fact that during those terrible days, a massive global prayer session was underway, and while people constantly complain about churches closing their doors, they were not inactive. There were all sorts of Eucharistic processions, some by plane. The Masses were still celebrated, and our family gathered for prayer every day, something that just sort of fell away.
I think the surge in conversions we are seeing is a result of this brush with pestilence.
I think it is important that one express relief that it was overblown, because sometimes I get the impression that people wanted it to be worse.

Yeah, the best part of the PITA assembly of a Weber is knowing you won't need to do it again for ten years.
Although fair warning, they changed the quality of the grates and those need replacing every couple of years now.
I broke down and spent way too much on a coyote will marine stainless everything and 1/4 stainless grates. It will probably be the last grill I ever purchase. Lots upfront or $150 every few years, so I decided to bite the bullet.
It's been fantastic so far.

One does get the sense that the NYC prosecutorial team is not their A-Team.
Neither is Fani or Jack Smith.
None of these cases are real. It's just more Russia collusion type BS. As some like to say, the process is the punishment.
Which is smart, if legally unethical, unless the efforts are so obviously corrupt that what should have been getting dragged through the mud turns into a campaign contribution. I think we are now firmly at that stage.

We have a tabletop Webber grill for when we want something cooked over charcoal. We'll buy one of those little one-and-done bags of briquettes and fire it up.
Most of the time I use the gas grill, griddle or the Traeger.
But sometimes you just want old school burgers or dogs.

I broke down and spent way too much on a coyote will marine stainless everything and 1/4 stainless grates. It will probably be the last grill I ever purchase. Lots upfront or $150 every few years, so I decided to bite the bullet.
It's been fantastic so far.
I'd never heard of them before. It's a grill, not a new car.

I don't think there's much question. There won't be any convincing of the hard left but most of the country isn't hard left and they can see how corrupt and unfair this stuff is even if they don't like Trump.
One of the J6 defendants recently got 12 years for tresspassing and breaking 2 windows at the Capitol. Bragg says he hasn't decided whether he would prosecute the Hamas supporters who vandalized and took over a buildiing at Columbia. Everyone can see we have a two tiered justice system and the Trump stuff is just highlighting it.

A.H. Lloyd--
Your comment about the restored altar rail made me a little sad because my childhood church has gone strongly in the opposite direction. When I was growing up the bulk of the congregation was made up of German and Scandinavian Lutheran families and their descendants. Unfortunately, the church is in Austin within walking distance of the UT campus. You can guess what happened.
Out of curiosity I checked in on their online Easter service. Of course the altar rail and everything setting the altar apart are gone. (The huge carved German altar is still there but it's probably too heavy to move.)
Before the service began there was an acoustic guitarist playing...a Scott Joplin rag...on Easter Sunday. Sigh.

I finally had to toss the old Weber kettle when we moved a couple years ago and haven't replaced it with anything yet. I get seduced by the ease and speed of gas grills but really some of the best burgers and steaks I've made have been on the kettle.

A friend of mine took his mother to an Easter service at a Lutheran chuch last year and she barely made it through it. When they got to the car she said that she'd rather go to a Catholic Mass than submit to that.
Pope Francis seems to be going on a tear, and I think it is because his health is clearly failing, and his faction know that they are the end of the line. Liberal Catholicism is about to become extinct. So they rage and knock over as much as they can, but all they are doing is pushing people deeper into orthodoxy.
Basically, by defying God, they are doing His will.

Money creation leverages the Cantillon effect for the government, it allows it lots and lots of money that they can use to buy goods and services at the price before the effect of the inflation starts eating the money's value away, and the people further down the chain get to pay the "new" prices after the higher inflation prices start to take effect. There is also the effect of rising prices due to inflation making goods harder to sell, so the production costs have to be cut, mostly by reducing quality, variety and customer-focused elements like being easy to use or pleasant to touch.

I dump water on that sucker every couple of days and it's been alive for years that way.
Now I'm suspicious that the instructions were something to make old ladies feel like they're performing a near-magic ritual and accomplishing something special.

All people are spiritual. They all have some form of faith, even if they insist that they don't. I know a woman who has changed religions have a dozen times, but she's never left the Democrats.

A couple months ago I found out that the girl I dated in high school, her husband who was my age and I knew since elementary school and her twin sister had all passed away. I don't think at the same time.
I know nothing of the details as I got the news second hand. But it certainly was a bit of a wake-up call.

Dr Ray Battacharia did a very early serotype survey in California and showed that it was widely distributed and had a fatality of 0.2% untreated and this was verified by the Diamond Princess.
what appears to have happened was that the whole response was thrown to the US Military as a bioweapons response, and they threw all the rules for dealing with a virus in favor of some game theory crap.
It appears to have been a bioweapon in development that according to some epidemiologists appears to have been released and spread through Wuhan first. Which is why the US knew about it early and had their over the top reaction. (Peter Daszak has been making noises recently, and I am expecting him to be found dead of a suicide in a hotel parking lot if he says much more)

Late to the thread, but I am in Missoula with my son, who had surgery for a bowel obstruction. He is recovering, albeit slowly. He will have an ostomy bag for a couple of months. He is going stir crazy in his hospital room. To the point he's been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The upside is that a couple of the nurses are really cute, so he kind of flirts with them.

Not to go all philosophical… and I’m probably gonna get willowed… but without God you can make no claim to a distinction between good and bad people. It’s an artificial distinction without a God who created all and defines what is good and what is bad. Maybe you believe in God but you don’t depend on a religion to seek or worship that God…. But make no mistake, without an ultimate authority these distinctions mean nothing. That’s why as a general rule (but not always) religious people (who take their religion seriously…. And adhere to a religion that worships the true God, not a demon) are better people

Nihilistic relativism is always so weird to see.
If children are brought up in a two parent household with a male dad and female mom and exist in a community that operates under the Ten Commandments, the family or kids don't have to be religious. They are still benefitting from the system and being raised accordingly.
You don't have to accept Christ as your personal savior (please do), but "honor thy father and thy mother" and "thou shalt not kill" are still the basis of your beliefs even if you reject His gift.
Well, they used to be. That's changing rapidly over the last decade.

I’ve known deeply religious people who can easily be saints. (My beloved fourth grade teacher, who was openly deeply religious, even in a public school, was one.). There are some profoundly religious people who are assholes and take great delight in being assholes. I’ve known plenty of them. (A guy I knew, a devout Catholic who worked with me on a VFD, was one. He took great pleasure in alienating people and pissing people off, even on calls, and was perpetually enraged that not every square inch of earth wasn’t EXACTLY like OH.). So no, religion guarantees nothing. Not even for most people.

And you know how unreasonable these people are. You’re a good person (I’ve no doubt) because you’ve absorbed Judeo-Christian values which come… from God

Posted by: JackStraw at May 04, 2024 10:57 AM
Interesting, but the author should have made the connection between the 2002 'SARS' and Covid 2019. Fauci's 20 year effort at creating a vaccine for the relatively non-lethal 2002 SARS* led to the research labs including Wuhan. Whether he knew the Chinese were actually achieving gain-of-function and approved of it - we'll probably never know. If Senator Rand Paul can't get an honest answer out of him I doubt anyone can.
My guess is Fauci knew damn well what was going on in Wuhan, and if he didn't he damn well should have. We sold the communists the rope they hung us with. Actually, through the agencies under his leadership funding the research, they didn't even have to buy the rope.
* The author noted the 800 deaths worldwide. (About 30 countries were effected. So relatively low 'R' value or communicability to others. Obviously, something happened.)

A simpler way of putting it is that God desires order. The Enemy desires chaos, which is why their beliefs constantly change, their hierarchy inverts itself and they betray allies for chump change.
The "cause" changes; the justification and nominal goals shift, but the actual operations are always the same - destroy, burn, and blaspheme.
At no time do these people EVER set themselves on the side of God. Oh, some will claim the mantle, but they immediately start performing blasphemous rituals or perverting scripture. That's the big giveaway.

Every society regardless of religious beliefs has certain rules. Like don’t kill, don’t steal, etc. Christians like to think they’re the ones who invented these rules. But they were around long before and will be around long after Christianity.

It is possible to follow God's laws while not even believing in God, but the order is sustained by those who do.

Slight edit: 'submit or die.' They do not really care if you believe or not. You merely have to let them do what they want.

Every society regardless of religious beliefs has certain rules. Like don’t kill, don’t steal, etc. Christians like to think they’re the ones who invented these rules. But they were around long before and will be around long after Christianity.

I think your anthropology is incomplete. Missionaries have encountered cultures where stealing is okay as well as things like polygamy…. And lots of cultures say killing is okay if it’s someone outside your tribe. The Ten Commandments were revolutionary when God first gave them to Israel. It’s seems universal to us in the west… but it wasn’t historically. Judeo-Christian values were not naturally adopted by all cultures

That's how relativism works. Those are enforced by force, and yes, they can exist with force.
Knowledge is understanding the desire to have them exist out of love.

But the religious people you knew who were bad (and there are plenty) were violating their own beliefs. We all do that regularly because we’re flawed sinners…. But believers have a standard to follow
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at May 04, 2024 11:18 AM (xT8gx)
This is exactly why the best thing you can dispense with is “religious people are better”. They have standards to live by, and religion instructs us that no, we will never be perfect, but here, this is how we can live a better life and be better people. There are people who STILL routinely reject this and think “It’s all good because I go to church every Sunday”. Much like a dude who routinely beats his wife and gets her flowers as a make up call the next day.
Being religious sadly is a great excuse for bad people to treat their fellow man like shit. Which means: we can, and must, evaluate people as individuals. It’s harder, and people in this country hate doing it, but we HAVE to.

This. The Standards and Ideals used to measure oneself and how you treat other people. Even if you fail, you try to do better. Christianity tries to set your feet on the Path, but you have to walk it.

Late to the thread, but I am in Missoula with my son, who had surgery for a bowel obstruction. He is recovering, albeit slowly. He will have an ostomy bag for a couple of months. He is going stir crazy in his hospital room. To the point he's been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The upside is that a couple of the nurses are really cute, so he kind of flirts with them.

>>My guess is Fauci knew damn well what was going on in Wuhan, and if he didn't he damn well should have. We sold the communists the rope they hung us with. Actually, through the agencies under his leadership funding the research, they didn't even have to buy the rope.
Yes, he knew. But I don't think it stopped with Fauci. Fauci is a part of the DOD/CIA complex.
Hunter Biden's company had an investment in a company that was doing virus tracking in both Wuhan and Ukraine where we also were funding bioweapons research. Fauci is protected because he is part of the blob. Same same with Joe.

I believe that if that was actually true*, they would surrender and release hostages (including American citizens) like rational people. For the children.
But this is Islam. Wars never end with them. That's their choice and they have to live with the consequences.
* Which numbers I do not believe.
