Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers. Be well and STAY WARM!!! 🙂
Garrison, Thanks nothing grabs me like this music.
Aww… poor thing. I think he was worried they were “freeing” him to kill him. Which actually is the real story of any trapped Democrat.
Here are some scenes from one of my favorite movies. Crossroads is an allegory about how right can overcome wrong. It’s based on the Robert Johnson song’s mythology about cutting deals with the devil . . . out on highway 61. What I love about this movie is how perfectly sinister ‘ole Scratch is, how confident he is that he’s gonna’ pick up another soul for nothin’ . . . and then innocent righteousness triumphs over evil. Love it when good guys win. 🙂
The original, the greatest (Lawrence Tibbett):
Cool. I no longer let Hollyweird poison my mind with psycho emotions, filth, brainwashing and agendas. So I actually do look for recommendations for rare exceptions. Not surprised when we have to go back to the 80’s to find it. Thank you. I live for happy endings and good triumphing!
Iconic American gun maker Colt sold to Czech firmhttps://nypost.com/2021/02/12/iconic-american-gun-maker-colt-sold-to-czech-firm/
Colt traces its roots back to 1836, when inventor Samuel Colt obtained two US gun patents and started his first manufacturing business. The company became famous for churning out revolver pistols and grew to supply the American and Canadian militaries.
That is sad.
Colt was already owned by the British Company I believe. It went out of American hands years ago. Oh and BTW I read Remington filed for bankruptcy. Doesn’t make a lick of sense to me.
Remington has been selling ammo and firearms left and right now for several years. I know that major banks have withdrawn from working with firearms manufacturers but there has to be alternatives when a company has the kinds of sales the those manufacturers have had for years now. Hell! During the Obama administration the Feds were buying up a bunch of small arms ammo.
I would bet that contrary to the way it was presented that Dicks Sporting goods was actually forced to drop the sales of firearms and ammo. I used to deliver trailers full of sporting goods to their stores and firearms and ammo frequently made up a good portion of those loads.
Remington was bought by a company owned by Soros.
Lawsuits are killing these American manufactures’ , CZ is a good company very fine products.
I have a CZ 38. Pre WW Ii Construction before the Germans lowered the standards for faster and cheaper production for the war. My uncle Bob who was an infantryman brought it home as a war prize. It is complete with a horse hide holster dyed black that has the two pips of a Oberleutenant on the flap of the holster.
To bring it in he had to have the firing pin snipped off to make it nonoperational. I took care of that and it functions just fine.
Knew a wwll guy who brought mg-42 back, never had the opportunity to cut loose with it. He said same thing everyone else said, no armor go around them .
Fire one if you ever get the chance. You won’t believe what 1200 rounds per minute is like fired off a bipod, in the prone position. That’s 20 rounds per second. Barrel overheat is why the Germans only used 25 round belts.
And barrel changes are a snap. Just slam the barrel change lever foward with the palm of your right hand. This pops the barrel breach end (barrel socket, in German-speak) out of the receiver, where the socket can be grabbed by hand and pulled back and out of the weapon. Reverse procedure to insert new barrel.
In the mid 70’s excellent condition German mfg MG42’s could be had for $750. Far cry from the $40,000 of today.
I have. Mg34 and Mg42 which was just a cheaper made version of the 34. 1,200 round per minute is too fast for good control and heats up the barrel too quick IMO. . .
“who is bankrupting them?”
Remington was bought by a George Soros owned or controlled entity.
I remember going by the Colt Factory whenever we went into Hartford, CT. as a kid.
You know, back in the day when we still had a Middle Class and it was easy for people to move up if that’s what they wanted to do.
D*mn. Americans were stupid to ditch these companies.
Only the dregs are left to comment at Breitdrudge. Criminal what’s happened to a great man’s legacy. I would like to know what is the deal with the Mercers.
Oneness With Christ
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“I am [have been] crucified with Christ” (Gal. 2:20).
What is salvation? It is actually coming into oneness with the Lord Jesus Christ.
“The wages of sin is death” and “the soul that sinneth it shall die,” but Christ was not a sinner. Even Pontius Pilate, after having examined Him carefully, said: “I find no fault in Him” and “I find no cause of death in Him.”
It was therefore not His death that He died at Calvary. It was ours. He had come from heaven to be born into the human race as one of us in order to die our death.
It is when we view that death at Calvary and say: “This is not His death He is dying. It is mine;” it is then that, by an act of faith, we become one with Him. His death was ours; the penalty for our sins, but it is not applied to us until by faith we accept it as ours. Thus the Apostle Paul declares by divine inspiration:
“I have been crucified with Christ” and he adds: “the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith [the fidelity] of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20).
Since the believer has been united with Christ in death, he is united with Him in resurrection life also. Col 2:12 says that believers are “buried with Him in baptism.” This is not baptism by water. This is a divine baptism, the work of the Holy Spirit, for he goes on to say: “wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God.”
Little wonder the Apostle begins this lesson for believers with the declaration:
“For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the godhead bodily, and ye are complete in Him” (Col. 2:9,10).
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/oneness-with-christ/
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
John 19:4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
Luke 23:22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

The River Thames freezes over for the first time in 40 years because of Global Warming:
UK cold weather: River Thames freezes over for first time in 60 years – PICTURED – Watts Up With That?
Texas set to have record coldest temps in over 100 years because of Global warming.
This could really be a serious disaster,, especially for those in NE Texas because of heavy icing that will likely do serious damage to the electrical transmission infrastructure. Those familiar with Texas know that a whole lot of people live rather isolated out in the sticks. Many, if not most of those people live a rather minimalist life style. The problem is the cold is going to hold on and so there is a good potential for people losing electrical service for several days. This in a state with relatively little snow removal equipment.
Thanks for the warnings.
Nature, at its extremes, can be dangerous to the unprepared.
A good Texas tradition is to “check on your neighbors if you think they might need help.”
It is my sincere hope that the good men repairing the electrical grid, in coordination with engineers, will be on a mission to remove/disable/reprogram the CCP controlling chips. Biden has made our grid susceptible to this type of control.
I am praying this is happening. It just makes sense.
Yesterday we were out of power for 4 hours in the Texas Hill Country. That sent wifey and I on an emergency firewood collection to have some extra reserve. Also, had to start the generator to keep the water pump to the house working.
Anyway, seems that it was caused by ice downing the power lines because the electrical crews were working in the fields until after dark but about 4 hours later they had it fixed, praise the Lord and the hardworking folks! It was in the 20s out there.
Back when I was a teenager here in Indiana and in the surrounding states we had the Blizzard of 78. Lowest atmospheric pressure ever recorded that did not come from a tropical system in Indiana and the lowest ever recorded at any time in Ohio. The only time in the state history that use of the entire phone system through out the state was restricted to emergency calls only. It was brutal. Snow so deep in many places that plows couldn’t move it and it had to be dug out with front loaders. In Anderson, IN where I lived at the time there was so much snow that they simply didn’t have anywhere to plow it to in many neighborhoods.
A serious problem was that there were old folks in the surrounding countryside that needed prescriptions filled. My cousin had a Toyota Land Cruiser, the jeep type, that was set up for mudding, Responding to a request put out on the local radio stations we went to the police station and volunteered to deliver prescriptions to those in need. Some places we could reach by driving, Access to others was blocked by drifts, A couple that blocked our way were about 20 feet high, and so we would drive around and find an alternate route or one that at least got close enough that we could trudge through the snow to the home. We were actually having a ball putting that thing through it’s paces in the snow! No worries about getting stuck since he had a powerful winch with lots of cable on the front and aluminum coal shovels. But trudging through that deep snow sure was exhausting and of course we got very wet eventually. A hot shower sure felt good after the stinging went away once I got home.
Good people, you two!
~good, good people.
We were just having fun. Providing an emergency service gave us an excuse to be out on the roads even though they were supposed to be closed by state order. Besides that a whole lot of Hoosiers stepped up and helped each other during that time. Here are some images from the blizzard. Steady winds of 50 mph with gusts up to 100 in open areas and that went on for something like 28 hours as the snow came down. The drifts in some places were like something one would see in Siberia. Trains were derailed and stopped. The Ohio river froze solid enough people were walking forth between Indiana and Kentucky and all river traffic was stuck,

Two parter:
Update on my wife: better, but still not waking up.
More EEGs, maybe scans as to why. They were supposed
to pull the ET tube today, but were concerned about her
neurological status. BUT she is still breathing spontaneously,
and her vital signs are stable.
To quote Tom Petty: “The Waiting is the hardest part”.
Part 2: Blizzard of ’78
YTG was 19. Dayton got hit major, and the power
company chose that time to go out on strike. So we
had DP&L executives shoveling coal to keep the
lights on.
I was one of 48 people that had reservations for
4 big condos to go skiing at Schuss Mountain, just
below the upper peninsula in Michigan. Drove 350
miles through snow 3 plus feet deep, on a skating
rink called 1-75. When we got to Mancelona, Michigan
we drove for 2 miles through a 10-12 foot tunnel of
snow . No visible homes or buildings, just that tunnel
of snow, with occasional cuts where driveways would
be. Never got above 5 below. Schuss Mountain had an
outdoor pool they kept a foam cover over. They’d uncover
it after the slopes closed down, and idiots were actually
swimming in it. Their hair would freeze when they got
above the water surface. For extra fun, they were throwing
each other in the snowbanks. Good chance that liquor was
involved.
Hope your wife continues to improve.
The blizzard of 78 is one of those things everyone that lived through it will always remember.
FJ40. Legendary. 1977 below.
Yep. His was blue with white top and imagine the thing lifted with heavy lugged tires three time wider than those shown. Excellent off road vehicle. We have a 2014 FJ cruiser. I generally leave it at home when I hit the road for the wife. Gives me peace of mind that she can get out of the driveway and get around when the snows come. Great vehicle also, but that original land cruiser was better off road with better clearances even though it only had a 4 cylinder.
rah, bless you for helping these old isolated folks.
My Brother and a friend, the owner of just such a Toyota, for many years helped people in CA during mudslide Season…they also had fun, and were well appreciated.
man helping man.

Recently, having started Eliquis for my AFib, I got a note from my widowed sister, suggesting I start getting my affairs in order. It got me to thinking of my early years in the fifties, when I went for my confirmation; and rolling in with those recollections was the Lord’s Prayer we got taught in Catechism class … in Latin.
PATER noster, qui es in cœlis;
sanctificatur nomen tuum:
Adveniat regnum tuum;
fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in cœlo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie:
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris:
et ne nos inducas in tentationem:
sed libera nos a malo.
Amen
Prayers for you and your family. God heals.
Praying for you. Are you not a candidate for ablation?
My cardiologist, department head, raised this as a possibility. He made it clear that he considers any type of surgery as a last option. If bleeding problems recur, he’s suggested cutting the Eliquis dosage. If that still doesn’t work, we’ll be looking at other options. Recovery becomes a complicating issue at the 74 year mark.
God Bless!
Do not ever miss a pill. My 88 year old mother would regularly and deliberately not take her Eliquis. She had severe ischemic stroke as a result. Went from independent living in her own apartment, driving her own car, to bedridden paralytic in a nursing home. With onset vascular dementia.
My blue state used the false PCR test to determine “cases”. Since the tests are overcycled, they produce >97% false positives. When the “cases” exceed a certain amount, visits to nursing homes are suspended. Nursing home patients are kept in their rooms all day except for meals. My mother’s had two, bad anxiety attacks from being so imprisoned.
I’ll stop here.

I do so agree!

Yes, beauty uplifts the soul. I used to worship at a beautiful basilica, so breathtaking and majestic. I have also found two beautiful small churches whose beauty lies in their simple dignity and honoring the space. Beauty matters.
Listened to the Lord of Spirits podcast on Thursday, and in his closing remarks, Fr. Stephen mentioned four ways humans interact with reality: language, music, art, and ritual. Reading this tweet got me to thinking about that again….
Architecture is art. By destroying the ART of architecture so that instead of beauty as in the image, we are treated to rows of those “soulless glass and steel boxes,” … by destroying that ART – satan, through his many minions – is working to disconnect us from reality.
Why would satan want to do that?
Because once we are disconnected from reality, satan can implement his false and destructive reality. You know, the one where boys/girls don’t know which sex they are, where art is soulless, where music is disgusting and ugly…and where ritual is … pretty much non existent.
And it goes BEYOND ‘Church ritual’ – satan’s minions have used the vid to great advantage, even destroying many long beloved SECULAR rituals, too. (example, thanksgiving scuttled.)
I dunno…did satan’s destruction of Church ritual ‘soften up’ the people first, through disconnection from reality at that deep spiritual level? Or did all these methods of causing disconnection from reality get advanced together?
Just stuff to ponder on this cold and snowy winter’s day….

Good morning all! I’m putting this question here in hopes Ad rem will see it. Is there any plan to bring back the “We Get Questions” comment section? It would be a good way for some of us old-timers to regain our “tree legs” in the new place. It also prevented the main threads from getting cluttered with failed post attempts and test messages. Perhaps it’s still too early. Thanks.
I’ll make sure all the admins and SD see this.
Many thanks Menagerie. I know how busy you all are with the new software and the influx of so many new readers. We all appreciate your time. I know the “We Got Questions” section places a burden on staff, but if I recall, many of the answers were provided by Treepers helping other Treepers. That’s a good thing.
Have a blessed day!
Hi Niagara…
Right now SD and the engineers are working on the “Optimization” phase of the blog. They’re finding ways to update some of the heavier and more out of date parts of the blog and streamline it into a more update and cost efficient beast.
When they’ve got a more general outline of what has to stay and what must go, I imagine they’ll update the “We Get Questions” part of the blog.
Have a blessed day in return!
THE DISCIPLINE OF HEEDING
“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Matt. x. 27
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him. “What I tell you in darkness” – watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet. If you open your mouth in the dark, you will talk in the wrong mood: darkness is the time to listen. Don’t talk to other people about it; don’t read books to find out the reason of the darkness, but listen and heed. If you talk to other people, you cannot hear what God is saying. When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light.
After every time of darkness there comes a mixture of delight and humiliation (if there is delight only, I question whether we have heard God at all), delight in hearing God speak, but chiefly humiliation – What a long time I was in hearing that! How slow I have been in understanding that! And yet God has been saying it all these days and weeks. Now He give you the gift of humiliation which brings the softness of heart that will always listen to God NOW.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter IX – Infants Received by the Savior
9:2
“This,” said my guide, “is but the more simple portion of the heavenly exercises connected with the pleasing occupation of those who are appointed to rear infant spirits, in preparation for unfolding their being into enlarged capacity and useful employment. The earth, if man had not there departed from purity and harmony, and thence from affinity and companionship with beings of an exalted nature, would have been a proper nursery for new-born spirits.”
“Sin, Marietta, removed the condition of the sinner from that of angels; for by it his moral nature became changed. Angels are pure. No stain is found upon them, -no evil desires ever awaken improper energies within them. From them emanates life in its pure element. That life nourishes a like element. More dependent spirits arise within their halo of divine existence. They are, in like manner, moving within the glory that encompasses the societies more exalted than themselves; and these are, in like manner, moving in the light, and enjoying the life-sphere of a still higher class of beings. Thus, all pure spiritual beings united, exist in spheres of higher life; and, as one being of greater capacity, exist in the life descending from God, the Life of all. Superior orbs and systems, in like manner, move in the spheres of those more exalted; and, receiving and exalted, until the terrestrial becomes the spiritual, and the spiritual celestial.”
“The discordant are severed from the affinity of those natures above, and their loss is that relation which blends them with the harmonic laws and beings of celestial order. Men do not know the loss they sustain, while in the darkness consequent upon their condition, and therefore they do not properly realize the necessity and benefit of a Savior. Whoever restores the affinity lost, is the Redeemer. But since one degree of harmonic life descends to another, and one receiving from, rises to another, by the Spirit of God, the Life of all, thou canst readily perceive that none but He who controls life could cause harmonic life to descend to degrees opposite to itself. And thus is made manifest the great truth of Redemption by the Incarnate Spirit of God. Here those who are mature are enabled to understand the law of salvation, even life in Christ, and by means of this knowledge, are led to acceptable adoration of Him who is their Redeemer.”
To be continued…
Good morning Treepers. Today I share a reflection on the gospel reading from Bishop Barron. The theme of right praise ordering our disordered lives is one he returns to frequently.
SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
MARK 1:40-45
Friends, our Gospel today gives us one of the great scenes of Jesus healing a leper. And as is usually the case, it becomes an icon of the spiritual life in general.
Once in the Lord’s presence, the leper knelt down and begged him. The suffering man realizes who Jesus is: not one prophet among many but the incarnation of the God of Israel, the only one before whom worship is the appropriate attitude.
In our sickness, our weakness, our shame, our sin, our oddness—lots of us feel like this leper. We feel as though we’re just not worthy. Whatever trouble we are in, we have to come to Jesus in the attitude of worship. He is the Lord and we’re not. This is the key step in getting our lives in order: right praise.
Consider the leper’s beautiful plea, essential in any act of petitionary prayer: “If you wish, you can make me clean.” He is not demanding; he is acknowledging the lordship of Jesus, his sovereignty. “Thy will be done” is always the right attitude in any prayer.
Beautiful…thank you! ?
Thank you Menagerie for that lovely reflection.
My beautiful wife and I while participating in an on line Mass (our “essential” dens of enquiry are open – our church’s shut in Scotland) we could not help comparing the “unclean” leper having to cover his lip and shout “unclean” to passers by, to all the sad people wearing muzzles even in church.
It is a salutarily lesson.

Good morning from Southern Ontario. Cold, and beautiful blue skies above. Lake Erie should be froze sufficiently for ice fishing by Monday.
God’s handiwork and majesty so evident even on the barren snow covered expanse of a frozen lake.
Biblical characters always seemed to connect more closely with the Lord when they were furthest from the clamor of the business of the world.
Hope the amazing people of CTH can find such a place. Good for the soul.

Good morning from the other side of Lake Ontario, in a quiet place on the U.S. – Canadian border, near the mouth of the Niagara River. I also see the majesty of God’s handiwork every day.
I must say that I dearly miss seeing my friends in Canada. The closing of the land border between our two countries has been devastating, both emotionally and economically. I used to cross several times a week, but now not at all. All of my friends are there. When will we awaken from this nightmare?
Agreed most heartily Niagara. Trips to Hobby Lobby or just a day out were so refreshing. Many a US citizen can’t even access summer cottages on the lake. I look at people in stores. Soulless eyes. Quietly suffering alone. Our political leaders on both sides of border who joyfully and self righteously condem their citizenry to the horrors of their power thirsting lusts will some day stand and have to give an account. Won’t be a pleasant experience for them.
A nightmare is a fitting description of the insanity around us.
My wife has started a small ministry of just reaching out to fellow women who are suffering depression and loneliness. We can all be a small beacon of hope in our community and family.
God bless,
DD
Sorry to hear this you guys. God be with all of you.
Spiritual message from Gab CEO Andrew Torba.
I say things all the time that offend a lot of different people, namely demons. I won’t be apologizing for any it. How many times do you think Christ “offended” the Pharisees?
There are no apologies in spiritual warfare. Is the enemy apologizing for banning you from the internet, brainwashing your kids, and subverting your country? Loving our enemies includes tough love and tough love is involved when the Truth is spoken boldly.
I will not stop speaking freely and I will not self-censor. This is why Christians get “stepped on for Jesus” as David Chilton would say. They cower to the world and the world’s standards. They ask the world for forgiveness and approval instead of yearning for the love, grace, and approval of Christ.
They shut their mouths and keep quiet like cowards, hoping the world doesn’t notice them and leaves them alone. This isn’t how Christians should live. We are not second class citizens in this fallen world. We are saved servants of the King and we need to start taking dominion for His Kingdom. We are commanded to speak the Truth boldly, to make disciples, and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That’s what I will be doing.
Paul stood up for his rights in the book of Acts
2 Corinthians 11:32-33 KJV
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: [33] And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 KJV
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
We are the body of Christ. So IMO we are suppose to play a role in restraining evil from the Luciferians rumning the world.

Oh the irony… Had to share son’s 8th grade History assignment:
? This is going to be fun– we shall entitle it: “Welcome to D.C.”
“The year is 2021… ” ?
That makes me so mad. We are right back where we started.
It’d be fun to post his work, I’d love to see it. But that’s selfish. Best for all your sake to keep your son off Big Brother Tech.
Update: Homeschooling done right… ?
Welcome to D.C. …
“The year is 2021 and the people are angry. The Presidential Election was stolen and a fake president was installed in the White House. Congress is full of imposters that don’t represent the voters who are taxed on just about everything.
D.C. has surrounded itself with barbed wire fences and military troops. They just tried to unfairly impeach the real president. The patriots are also being silenced and wrongly arrested for exercising their freedoms.
Something needs to be done to fix the problem. But the government is all corrupt and won’t fix itself, and the voting system is broken. The colonists will need to make a plan to gain their independence.”
[Fact Check: the above article is TRUE!]
Except now we also have our free speech being shut down and a media and communications network facilitating the government infringing upon our basic rights and allowing their thugs to riot and intimidate those they deem to be enemies of the state.

Because ever since Jan. 1989 it has all been: Invade-the-World, Invite-the-World, In Hoc-with-the-World uniparty globalism.
Except during 2017 through 2020 while PDJT brought light to break the darkness.
Been digging out, rather do it just once. 16″ last couple days and a little more , but supposed to warm up. Praying the thaw washes inslee away, 😉 Typical 7 year cycle here with a little something extra now and again. Like the huge storm that swept over us on clintones 1st inauguration , that was something!
Blessings to you all and ElizabethRoss1776 still on the prayer list. Jesus is the only answer. Back to shoveling… 🙂

Love Alan Jackson’s gospels!
Did it for his mother she kept after him.
Salty’s latest Youtube has a hilarious thumb nail. It shows the words “Rageaholic loser” and has Nasty Nancy with steam coming out of her ears and a little Pepe frog with a Trump wig.
Anyway, UniParty theater. Both hitting up their respective impoverished rubes for donations. I’m glad Salty is having fun mocking them.
Haven’t been on a while. Almost lost my dad to a medical emergency the Saturday before 1/6. We had just decided to go to Washington for the 6th.
Dad spent 2 wks in ICU, now in recovery phase.
I’ve watched the national events from a distance. Could only pray. Now trying to catch up myself. I am grateful the Treehouse is still here and you all are here. I need the hope and encouragement.
I’m not up todate enough to know if the acquittal yesterday is a great thing or just a good little blip.
My faith in God is all I have.
Prayers for your family. Don’t worry about what’s going on, not like anyone really knows yet. But Sundance put up a really cool dance post saying everything is turning for the better and MAGA is rising. But it’s good to just be with your family and God and may your father quickly heal. There will be plenty for you all to join and help with down the line.
Prayers for your father and glad you’re back, Doc.
? ☺️ ? Tips for Texas weather
You transplants that are new to Texas, are about to experience “Texas Winter”. This is 6 or 7 days of cold, maybe some ice and snow. The weatherman will threaten snow. It may snow, it may not and if the weatherman says 2 inches it could be 10 or it could be 1/2”. It doesn’t matter how much snow it is, we’ll all freak out because we don’t see snow often.
The threat of snow (or ice) from the weatherman is your prompt to head to the grocery store and buy milk, eggs and bread. It doesn’t matter if you need these items. It’s just what we do. Everyone in town will be there.
You’ll also need to make a mad dash for faucet covers and finding them and getting out of the store will be like an episode of the hunger games. You’re in the redneck district.
Don’t look for a sled. You won’t find one. In the rare chance we get enough ice or snow to sled grab some cardboard or a trash can lid and go find the nearest hill. Yes, we know it’s not a hill. You live in the flatland, just go with it. You’ll be alarmed by the fact that you’re “sledding” towards a bar ditch, fence or maybe into a farm to market road. Just go with it. You’ll be fine.
We don’t have equipment to handle the winter and weather. The roads will be a mess and even though the state has been telling you for a week they’re ready, they’re not and it won’t work. Just stay home if you can and if you can’t just come to terms with the fact that nobody here knows how to drive in snow and ice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT talk about snow tires.
If you happen to slide off the road or get stuck, turn your flashers on, take a deep breath and wait. Two guys in a four wheel drive truck will be along in no time to offer assistance. Don’t try to help them, they live for this stuff, and will do what they can to get you back on the road. If either one of them screams “hey y’all watch this” just get back and get your phone out and start recording, you’ll probably have a viral video. Also of note, when they offer you beer and deer sticks, don’t be rude, take them and smile.
No matter what you do, don’t talk about how they did it back home in any of these scenarios. Nobody cares. You live in Texas now, Texans know they live in the greatest state in the country and it’s our way or the highway.
When we act like we’re going to die and start to complain about the 7 days of winter just shut up, we’re serious and we don’t care how much you love it. We don’t.
You’ll be back in shorts and flip flops in a week to ten days and it’ll be nice until right around Easter.
Texas “second winter” will be 2 or 3 days and will hit right around Easter, usually the week before or the week after. This will hit right around the time you plant flowers and a garden. We know you’re not from around here when we see you’ve planted flowers before Easter and before the “second winter” has hit.
This is why all the people at the nursery don’t sound like us when you’re shopping for plants. We know better.
During second winter it’ll go from 70 to 25 and you’ll experience all four seasons in one day. This too shall pass, get used to it and when second winter is over you can enjoy the 3-4 weeks of “spring” before summer gets here and it’ll be melt your face off hot until sometime around Halloween.
God bless Texas
ROTFL, I can’t breathe, I am dying laughing here. Thank you. God less the republic of TX.
After the secession we may all see it first hand.
Not in Texas – SC, where we have something similar but not exact – I enjoyed this read very much.
Second winter = BLACKBERRY winter. Cold snap hits right when the wild blackberries bloom.

So India has a dam fail. It should not surprise anyone. India has been building dams to control flooding but even more important for them, for hydroelectric power.
But they face unique problems. First of the amount of ice held in the Himalayan range is only exceeded by that at the poles. In fact there is so much ice and snow in those mountains that they have been referred to as “the third pole”
Second. Following or sometimes over lapping the huge flow of melt comes the deluges of the monsoon. The potential for variability of volume is very high.
Third. Glaciers in those mountains are most likely to calve during the melt and when a big one lets lose megatons of ice into an already overflowing river a dam not too far down stream is going to get hit with a wave that can overwhelm it’s overflow, Result overtopping and/or possible structural failure.
Another great Oldie:
Strategic music for the 2nd feature at the drive in. 😉

ilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen….
Thank you. 🙂
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Man Drowns As Politically Correct Passengers Struggle To Describe What Just Went Overboard
“Human overboard? Person overboard? Generic sentient entity overboard?” one man mused as he sipped a strawberry daiquiri. “I don’t want to be offensive here. We’ve got to be careful.”
“We could just, like, do jazz hands or something and hope the captain notices?”
The passengers eventually settled on “something happened to some person” but it was too late.”

“Cautious with the new variant…which we know to be more transmissible”
——
Load of bull, IMO. Globalist elites tell the world there’s a “new, more deadly variant” and millions believe it without ever asking for proof. This “new variant” gives globalists, Marxists, and Communists the grist they need to demand mandatory vaccinations which, of course, are block chained and permanently stored in MS cloud. Nothing is by chance here.
Some researchers and scientists claim there’s strong evidence the genetic sequence of Covid hasn’t been found. “Isolated” is the technical term for finding the DNA or RNA of a virus. That DNA or RNA is required for virus testing. All PCR machines must be calibrated to find the Covid virus. Calibration means the machines must be told what the DNA or RNA of Covid is.
Here’s a quote about Covid 19 DNA/RNA from Dr. David E. Martin’s 205 page .pdf titled “The Fauci/Covid 19 Dossier”; a fascinating exposure of behind the scenes maneuvering that gave the world the Covid ‘pandemic'”
In one of the several papers derived from work sponsored by this grant, Dr. Baric published what he reported to be the full length cDNA of SARS CoV in which it was clearly stated that SAR CoV was based on a composite of DNA segments.
Dr. Martin’s full .pdf here:
https://f.hubspotusercontent10.net/hubfs/8079569/The%20FauciCOVID-19%20Dossier.pdf
How then, are PCR machines calibrated to look for the Covid virus if no one really knows what the DNA or RNA of Covid is?
The answer, as noted by Dr. Martin, is that PCR machines are calibrated using a composite DNA, modeled by computer. In other words, PCR machines are calibrated on a guess of what the Covid DNA or RNA is.
Christine Massey filed FOI requests with over 40 research institutes, universities, etc around the world, asking if they’ve isolated Covid 19, meaning have they found the genetic sequence, or DNA or RNA of the virus. They all responded “NO”. Some of Massey’s research here:

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny explains dangers of Antibody Dependent Enhancement in mRNA vaccines. ADE causes autoimmune response in one’s immune system. Test animals who developed ADE after receiving mRNA vaccines were then exposed to the virus for which they were vaccinated (SARS and MERS). The animals got much sicker than other animals that didn’t get the vaccine. Some died.
Tenpenny postulates, with good reason if you look at all we know so far about the Covid scamdemic, the “new, more deadly strain” of Covid will be blamed for deaths that are really caused by ADE developed after receiving the mRNA Covid vaccines. Remember, these vaccines aren’t fully FDA approved. They’re Emergency Use Authorized only. EUA is extraordinary and intended to be used in a true emergency when millions and millions are rapidly dying horrible deaths from a disease. Covid has a >99% survival rate for those under 65.
Recall also, this so called new strain magically appeared as Democrat Communists were still stealing the election by counting fraud ballots. Just in time for the Communist installed, medical Nazi Biden to use the so called new strain as pretense to demand forced vaccinations.
About one hour:
https://www.brighteon.com/872c17bc-f125-4db6-8464-cdca06071398
It’s an established fact that mRNA vaccines have never received FDA approval in the 60 or so years since they’ve been around. On reason among many is that mRNA vaccines make the immune system weaker by causing Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). ADE is a form of autoimmune disorder, which is what HIV causes in AIDS.
mRNA animal testing for SARS and MERS vaccines found that after being vaccinated, test animals who were then exposed to SARS and MERS got much sicker than animals who hadn’t been vaccinated. Some died. Researchers, scientists, and doctors have warned that Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have shown ADE in lab mice. Those warnings have been glossed over or ignored by MSM.
Will ADE, that’s known to be produced by Covid mRNA vaccines, cause mass deaths, triggering mandatory vaccinations? That’s what this article states while offering up the goods to prove it, including video presentations by Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, reseacher Dr. Judy Mikovits, and others. Chock full of links, also. This is a great resource for anyone wanting to know the dangers of mRNA vaccines and ADE.

Thank you for the link!
That ADE reaction … that’s worrisome. Very worrisome.
Just an fyi – received my first Covid-19 shot at the local VA.
Piece of cake – well organized – very efficient.
I felt sorry for the old Korean Vets being pushed around in wheel chairs. Made me misty eyed. I didn’t have a cover but I saluted them.
