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 †

RIP Loretty…..
Amen!
She was something a bit special.
You’ve done her proud, Mr jay.🙏
Maidin Mhaith Betsy 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸

Mornin’ Jay. RIP Loretta. She was good folks. 🙂
Good morning jay! RIP Loretta.
Howdy Gramps 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
One more . . .
Howdy Garrison 🙂
🙂
One more for you… even though John Prine wrote “Angel from Montgomery” for Bonnie Raitt, I’ve always found this version most compelling Enjoy!
Agreed. Susan owns this song.
Fan girling over here! I saw TT last year and they were rockin! Can’t wait to see them again! (and I don’t go to see just anybody..) but I DO love them!
Good morning, Garrison😘
Mornin’ Bet. 🙂
Good morning Bet! Another cool Hill Country morning with no rain in sight. We’ll, maybe in a week. At least it’s very pleasant watering the garden and picking tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. 😁❤️
Morning back to you, G😘 Same here. Just checked my unreliable weather thingy on my phone. It has hedged its bets for next Th-Fri at 50% chance. Joe Bastardi it ain’t
What a nice veggie haul! Nothing like home grown tomats, as my dear MIL always called them. I’ve got some store bought yellow squash I’ll prepare for tomorrow.
Sliced and cooked, drained and water pressed out as.much as I can, then seasoned with salt and pepper and then some grated cheese in while it’s still hot until melted. Reheat before serving.
I’ve done the same with zucchini and it is delicious. There ya go. Quick and easy and yummy!You’re welcome!!😄😋
The way my mom does the zucchini is slice and salt them to pull out some of the water, then stack them on an oiled baking sheet. She leans them on each other in several rows. Then puts a tiny bit of flower on top. When they are half baked 😂 she pulls them out and flipped them over. When done cover them with plain yogurt mixed with dill and chopped garlic. It’s out of this world. The only time it tastes better is if you fried the zucchini but it’s too much work and leg time for 90 years old legs.
My bride and I do it too but it never tastes the same as mom’s. Plus gives her something to do and she loves it. Doesn’t like to stay idle. There are other ways to cook them but this is definitely the best and this year we’ve had our fill and the zucchini are still going. 😁
Yummy!!!! Will try that one! Nothing but nothing tastes as a mother makes it. And there is just something about cooking or baking for an appreciative eater…which I suspect you are😉
We’ve been very fortunate on the yogurt part. There is a lace in Austin that makes Bulgarian yogurt and it’s sold in all the area HEB’s. It’s the real deal, no starch or anything in it. Can’t compare to any of the crap that’s sold as yogurt in the stores. Don’t know if it’s available in your neck of Texas. Sold in glass jars.
What a find! Is it owned by Bulgarians? Or by some magic did they get the recipe. No matter. I bet your mother was thrilled to be able to get her hands on it!💥
I don’t know about the owners. Always wanted to visit the facility but haven’t done it yet.
Roadtrip!!!!!!😁
Junket is the magic pill to make yogurt.
https://allthingssicilianandmore.com/tag/junket-tablets/
Oops. 🤪
Junket is for making ricotta.
It works well and is easy. Just don’t disturb it till done ( over night).
I’ve posted two answers which were awaiting approval when I looked…and somehow I’d altered my posting name!!! Ugh…I have repaired it…hopefully it will now be approved in spitenof.my fingers which have a mind of their own
😘
Morning Garrison!
When the legend, Eric Clapton, is a fan!!! “Any Way” 🙂
If I hadn’t watched the video, I would have thought it was Bonnie Raitt!
We need a girls jam band for like a one night only event… Susan, Bonnie, maybe Joan Jett, Lita Ford? LOL
🙂
Nice choices Mr. Hall! 🙂

H/T Jay 1776
I have to automatically respond to this one.
Loretta Lynn was…well I never met her. People in my family did. They still talk about her. Just like they all talk about Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin and guys like that. It’s hard to separate the songs from the truth and all of that. But what I do know is before music got real big and people were making money from it, it was mostly mining coal for most of those people and not much else.
Back then I think they were more personal, they played small venues and their biggest appearance was to be invited to the Grand Ole Opry which took them to national radio play and touring at random sized venues, I’m thinking county fair sized things.
Much like me having karaoke at a bar, you have to talk to me, some people have many questions for me and that they may have loved the XYZ song that I sang.
Its not like the bar has security for me, perhaps a bouncer / manager / bartender, just me, myself and I except that I’m 6′ and 210 pound retired master mechanic.
Tragedy happens nowadays, I posted one a few months back of the YouTuber that was appearing with a few other small acts that someone shot her while mixing / meeting attendees. SMH
These days the well known acts don’t play small venues anymore, you can still catch some bands / acts that are up and coming and perhaps they will breakthrough nationally.
They can and will talk to you, I am fortunate to know at least one that has declined offers to record due to “I’m a mother first”. Which I congratulate her for that family first attitude.
Unfortunately she now has a (COVID) child that has severe “epilepsy” so more than likely she will never cross the bridge to national once the kids have flown.
She can still be seen in bars & private events in a couple hundred mile radius of here most every Saturday as lead singer for the family band.
She definitely can (IMHO) out sing current radio stuff better than whoever is singing it the radio, much better and has a natural voice too.
I hope she manages to succeed one day.
One day I may post something from her if she agrees to let me. (I used to record all shows, albeit poor quality at the time)
Good morning, Magic. .
Willie Nelson wrote and sang about life “on the road “ . It is a way of life… and it’s certainly is not for everyone.
Perhaps some day I will write some of what I know about that.
Would love to hear that lady sing and pray for a good life for her child.
Morning Patience! ❤️ Speaking of small venues about 30 years ago a honky-tonk called “Willie’s Might Life” opened on FM 1960 in Houston. Willie was one of the owners. One weekend he did a three night show, Friday through Sunday. We went on Sunday night and were treated to a smaller crowd, we were 10 feet from the stage, and had 2 and a half hours of non-stop great music.
I’ve just answered you. For some reason, my comment is “awaiting approval”… standby😉
Reposting because I accidentally altered my posting name
Ooooooooo! You resurrected a memory for me, G.
My in-laws and another close couple friends used to go “honkey-tonking” every Saturday night to any venue that was open in any of the small communities around their small central Texas town. They’d dress in their finest, stuff their”sneakies” (as they called them) and an appropriate mixer in a bag and dance the night away.
Once, one of the venues started requiring that the ladies wear long skirts, don’t ask me why.
My MIL had worn some wide legged flowing trousers which looked like a skirt but wasn’t. When they tried to get in, the gestapo doorkeeper told them they couldn’t because she “wasn’t wearing a skirt” as her friend had. So back to the car they went to plot their next move.
A couple of sneakies later, my MIL’s friend had a lightbulb moment, took off her long slip she was wearing and passed it over, which my MIL put on over her “not skirt”.
Then the two ladies, on recon, attempted to gain entrance, with the husbands still in the car waiting for the all clear.
When time passed and the ladies did not return, they got out of the car and went in to join them. And when they got to the entrance, one of the doorkeepers, a woman who didn’t believe in the ” I was just following orders” mantra of the other who had denied entry, recognized them, winked, and said sotto voce, “They got right in.”
A wonderful evening was had by all. Thank you for reminding me of a story that showed how a little ingenuity saved the day.😘
Ad rem…with apologies…I reposted the above because somehow I altered my name. Would you please remove both of the posts marked “Awaiting Approval”? Mea culpa. Thank you.
Got all of your posts Bet. 😂😍
My gosh!!! Over caffeinated! Fingers flying!! I was hoping Ad rem would delete my double post. But I suspect there are other issues to be dealt with compared to this small beer. No biggee…😘
Betsy….. I just saw this. I’ve deleted the other post. Just an fyi….always quickest to get my attention through the email. 😀
Thank you so much😁 Filed for the next time, which surely there will be
I got to see Willie and his band play one night in a little bar off the Vegas Strip. Only about 20 people in the place to see some local act. Then about Midnight, they all just g0t up and walked off, and out walked Willie and his band. They said they had just finished up at Ceasars and still felt like jamming. They paid the other band to go home and gave us few there a show I’ll never forget.
Yea i’m not sure I would ever wish to do it for a living, once a week break from making pizza is enough for me.
I would consider it tho once I start having a hard time making pizza & fully retire, hopefully that will be at least 10 years down the road.
Rose was supposed to come last time (Sept 21) but she caught something from her children that is going around the school.
That karaoke venue is now over with as they endured a hostile takeover, which is what happened to me at my first dine in location…. told them it was coming….they never really saw it. Not much they could have done about it anyway.
Hope they got a bigger settlement than I did as it cost me 3x more to get back into business than what I got & nearly bankrupted me.
Alternative venue set up now for Oct 12, we shall see how that works out.
I’m not really a fan of promoting any other venue in town as all of them are in the pizza biz. Chain fled in 2016 (first dollar per hour OTW to new 12 dollar minimum wage) which is why just about everyone in town started selling pizza.
Covid provided a reason for a different pizza chain to try again with forced delivery demand via covid, it may not last with the wild tourist swings in business here.
New karaoke venue are not wanting to pay what I lose for being closed, last venue was not in pizza biz and they would send me customers once they closed their kitchen.
That alone made up for what they didn’t pay directly for karaoke.
Shall see what kinda crowd I bring in and whether they are open to sending me customers once they close their kitchen (or pay what I first asked for) or by summer tourist season I will probably decline to continue at current price.
I could do karaoke at my current location upstairs, just some health department red tape to comply with before I can. Once I make the required government changes I can also run a pizza making class which was my long term goal for it anyway.
Ah…was waiting for Coal Miners Daughter..
RIP Loretta

What’s for dinner?
Oh no! …. Not another white meat!!!
neighbors..
Houston.. the late 80’s..
our lofts in Uptown Houston was a pretty eclectic place.. and so were the tenants.. my loft overlooked the pool..
there was an older guy who lived in a flat in a wing that was to the left of the pool in the similar picture.. he was a really nice guy who was liked by most everybody.. I remember he drove a cool classic Saab Sonnet..
I parked my bike next to it because I knew he would be careful around it if I was offshore..
we only had an “in passing” type of talk and friendship.. we both had our own lives.. I was too busy chasing my stars.. and he was too busy riding his..
I didn’t know exactly what he did for a living.. I think he was maybe in a “dinner club” type of band because he was very talented..
on some weekends he occasionally had a group of friends over and they would set up outside his flat by the pool and play classic tunes from his heyday..
I of course worked offshore.. and there were no days with names.. only numbers.. how many days I had been out there..
I remember.. waking up and walking into the main living area.. and glancing outside my loft wall of windows.. with his band playing down by the pool..
..it must be Saturday.. in Uptown.. Houston..
And perhaps the most hopeful, powerful creation of all…
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.”
~~Psalm 51:10 KJV
I don’t care how made up it sounds, or how much you think it is fake. I love you. I love you because no matter how bad I was, God loved me. And I want to share that love with you, and anyone who can accept it.
I love you.
And as many times as you guys show this. My father and I love it.
And by Father I mean my actual Dad. I am sure God likes it too, I dunno. Was just talking about my dad.
“I am sure God likes it too…”
Our Father in heaven is Author of all things good and beautiful, including songs and singing.
Our divine loving Father also inspires gratitude and joy in audiences.
Saw your picture on a poster. On a cafe out of Phoenix. Guess your still the sweetheart of the rodeo.
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit. In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
And she still asks about you all the time.
And I guess we never even cross your mind.
But oh sometimes I think about you, and the way you used to ride up.
In your rhinestones and your sequinds. With the sunlight in your hair.
And oh the crowd will always love you. But as for me I’ve come to know.
All that glitters, is not gold…
Good morning all.
A little discussion on climate.
All of us have had the great fortune to live at a time when weather and climate have been relatively benign. I don’t know if anyone here is old enough to have been alive and aware to have experienced how nasty things can get as they did during the decade of the 1930’s which was the period of the most extreme weather and weather events in the last century. But the droughts, floods, heatwaves, very cold winters, and storms of the 30’s were just a little taste of how bad things can get and have been during the past.
As things stand now the data makes it clear that our luck is holding for now. Over all the earth has warmed by about 1 deg. Centigrade over the last century or so. But based on the current REAL science the Northern Hemisphere is headed towards a much colder time.
The Milankovitch cycles Milankovitch (Orbital) Cycles and Their Role in Earth’s Climate – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet (nasa.gov) are going to come together in a combination the will result in much colder times for the Northern Hemisphere peaking in about 500 years. We are already starting towards that time, it will not come all at once but will creep up upon us.
But for now we remain in a more or less static state and the data makes that clear no matter how much the powers that be lie about “climate change”.
Ice ages are a result of accumulation of snow that does not melt. But is it not so much an increase in snow that brings them on but a lack of melting during the warmer months.
During the moderate warming we have had over the last century water vapor has increased as the oceans warmed. More water vapor means an increase in potential for precipitation. But despite that increase the snow extent is not increasing.
Rutgers University has kept track of the snow extent on our earth for decades now.
Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab
The following are for the Northern Hemisphere:
As you can see Fall extent has increased significantly. Winter extent has increased slightly. But Spring extent has decreased a great deal. IOW the snows are increasing but so far they melt away in the spring when it gets warmer.
When the spring extent decreases accumulation begins and glaciers grow and if it continues long enough ice sheets form and advance southward.
I appreciate these posts, rah, thank you for doing the research and putting them on here.
Good Morning rah!! So glad to see your post this am. I was concerned because I had not seen anything from you for a few days. Always enjoy your post. God Bless You. Stay safe in your many miles on the road.
For awhile I was doing all my posting on the Ian threads. Then was a bit under the weather though I did not miss work, except stuff I wanted to get done here at home.
Joe Bastardi has fessed up, as he always does, and admitted the weatherbell forecast for a warmer than average October was incorrect and now says for the N. Central and N. Eastern US we’re going to stay cooler as we have been. I would Love a bit of “Indian Summer” but it sounds like that isn’t in the cards.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

The Bias Of Degeneration
Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. — Romans 5:12
The Bible does not say that God punished the human race for one man’s sin; but that the disposition of sin, viz., my claim to my right to myself, entered into the human race by one man, and that another Man took on Him the sin of the human race and put it away (Hebrews 9:26) — an infinitely profounder revelation. The disposition of sin is not immorality and wrong-doing, but the disposition of self-realization — I am my own god. This disposition may work out in decorous morality or in indecorous immorality, but it has the one basis, my claim to my right to myself. When Our Lord faced men with all the forces of evil in them, and men who were clean living and moral and up right, He did not pay any attention to the moral degradation of the one or to the moral attainment of the other; He looked at something we do not see, viz., the disposition.
Sin is a thing I am born with and I cannot touch it; God touches sin in Redemption. In the Cross of Jesus Christ God redeemed the whole human race from the possibility of damnation through the heredity of sin. God nowhere holds a man responsible for having the heredity of sin. The condemnation is not that I am born with a heredity of sin, but if when I realize Jesus Christ came to deliver me from it, I refuse to let Him do so, from that moment I begin to get the seal of damnation. “And this is the judgment” (the critical moment) “that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light.”
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The fiery furnaces are there by God’s direct permission. It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances; we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.

October 5
MORNING
Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psa. 50:15
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. Psa. 42:11
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear. Psa. 10:17
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Psa. 86:5
Jacob said unto his household, . . . Let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. Gen. 35:2, 3
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Psa. 103:2
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Then called I on the name of the LORD. Psa. 116:1-4
EVENING
Yet a little while, (Gr. how little, how little,) and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Heb. 10:37
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Hab. 2:2, 3
Beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. II Pet. 3:8, 9
Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. Psa. 86:15
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Isa. 64:1, 4

Mornin’ all!
Ouch!
To their Swiss and Cayman banks 🫣
The other day I posted a truism from the British Peaceful Warrior Black Belt Club, of which my husband was a member long ago. This one popped up this morning…
“Trying to acquire experience with theory;
That’s like trying to satisfy your hunger by reading the menu.”
And this…
“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.”
May God’s blessings and mercies flow and cover all people in Florida … to those whose lives lie in ruins, and to those who, seeing the desperate need, have answered the call to offer their help wherever they can.🙏
Amen 🙏
Goood morning Betsy ❤️
Good morning yet again, Cat. Nothing better than two happy good mornings, dear girl.😘 Blessings to you always.
Amen!!
I second this quote Betsy…I was teaching in S Fla and getting ready to move to NCFL.. a student said to me ..” Mr B we wish you were not leaving.. you don’t know how much your example has affected some student lives”..made me think 🤔.. actually ran into a couple of former students in Gainesville who remembered me and expressed similar comments.. one never knows..🤔
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Coming to know you through your excellent thoughtful posts, Jim, this does not surprise me. I can well believe your students said that to you. What a gift, to know you have made an impact on a life just starting out.
In a similar vein, my youngest daughter took a job as a science teacher for young elementary school students. She had no background. They were desperate, but I suspect her enthusiasm sold them. She poured her heart into it, setting up her windowless classroom into a cornucopia of all nature had to offer. She applied for and received grants to do so, and acquired through social media in her area all sorts of plants and lizards and their containers where they thrived and grew. And so much more, all the while taking every exam so she could be certified as a teacher in Texas. In short, I know she made an impact because (as I’ve posted before) the mother of one of her students said that he woke up one morning shouting with excitement, “Today is science day!”
Two years into the job, she was voted teacher of the year, a complete surprise for her. She and her family are moving elsewhere this year, but the teacher who has taken over her position seems to be very promising and as enthusiastic.
As with your story, tis true…one person can make an incredible and life-long difference. Lucky those in your class for whom you had a positive effect. And what a blessing for you that there were those who stepped up to affirm to you that it was so. Blessings to you, sir.😘
Legitimate enthusiasm is picked up by students.. trust me .. they know when your faking it… I’ve always liked to share.. really enjoyed all my years teaching…🤣🤣👍…thx u
🇺🇸💪😀👍
A life well lived…you’re welcome😊
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
I always wonder about these people who try to separate out the armor of God and make it difficult and complicated. Let me simplify–it’s JESUS (nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else). If you have Him, HE’s all you need!

feelin’ a little spiritual this morning. funny how conditions and related fear porn get worse before elections.
https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2022/10/a-pause-to-consider.html?m=1
“…conditions and related fear porn get worse before elections.”
That is deliberate, by the Deep State globalists and all various dark forces who have been manipulating elections for decades.
They do not want the voters to have time to think, to understand the illusions and lies that the Establishment has been continuously presenting as truth.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has given the Biden administration until early next week to respond to a legal filing from former President Donald Trump asking that a special master assigned to the case be allowed to review dozens of documents seized in the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida.
For those interested, there is a 17 minute video of Archbishop Vigano addressing The March for Catholics on Lew Rockwell’s site. Here is the site’s link where it will be easily found.

…”this unGodly anti-Catholic secular state…hates the Catholic mass,doctrine and morality,but praises Bergoglio for his intervention in favor of sodomy,climate and immigration”…
Amongst MANY other EXCELLENT points, and calls out the WEF,the deep state,the deep church,the covid scandal,etc…
A wonderful address…thank you and God bless you Bet. 🙂
Evening, Casco. I thought so as well. But then he is God’s good servant. At great peril to himself, he never fails to speak, I firmly believe, the actual Word of Almighty God. I look and listen with horror to what is coming from Bergoglio and many of his Cardinals. There is one of them now imprisoned in China. Has he spoken about him or tried to obtain his release?
He has not.
By the way, Casco, wondering if you saw this a few months back…
The Vatican announced it was repatriating all of its assets, and said it would be done by September 30. And by curious coincidence, that was the day Credit Suisse’s liquidity problems cause a huge drop in its stock. What else is on the horizon I ask myself.
You can make the same connections as I and others have. It has appeared for a long time that Bergoglio has joined forces with Schwab and his unholy agenda. I’ll leave it there. But this is why I admire Vigano more every time he speaks boldly about what are clearly the satanic forces in this world. And why he remains in hiding.
May God send His protective angels to surround him and keep him safe as he continues to speak to and warn us all. Because that is how I see Vigano. A holy sentry sent ahead. I certainly feel it is so.
So good to see you tonight, Casco. I am glad you listened. Bless you mightily, my brother in Christ.🙏💕
Amen my dear friend.Thank you and blessings to you as well! Casco 🙂

This is encouraging; a new site – with a link to it in this American Thinker article – called Red Balloon, is a place where people can look for a job at work places that won’t come down on the employee because of their beliefs, i.e. anti-Woke workplaces, and for companies looking for workers willing to not pull their Woke card!

Oh this is WONDERFUL!! Just brilliant!
Well I went in and was ready to go but there were no loads on my Samsara. Called Josh. Turns out that a board runner had picked up the load I was to take and nobody told me. Just a matter of lack of communication because Josh was off yesterday. So I’m home again and there is a very good chance I won’t be going out again this week. If I do it will most likely be a short up and back.
Concerning the climate thread I posted above. I will supplement that tomorrow. The Milankovitch cycles are just a part of the equation when it comes to things in the celestial sphere which effect our climate. The Milankovitch cycles have only to do with the three ways other planets in our solar system alter the orbit of earth around the sun and it’s attitude relative to the solar plane. There is another factor on a very long time scale having to do with how our whole solar system orbits in the galaxy that also appears to have a significant effect on earths climate.
I suspect that some here had heard about the theory of the Milankovitch cycles before and have an idea how they work. But this other factor that I will attempt to describe is a theory I’m pretty sure is much less known and yet for which there is every bit as much evidence supporting it as for the Milankovitch cycles.
They have absolutely no science to back their claim but that doesn’t stop them:

And then there is the New York Slimes.
Ghoulish NYT Suggests Florida Deserves Hurricanes for Not Supporting Climate Agenda | Newsbusters
Cardinal (!!!!) Czerny has pronounced that “climate denying and populism are now dead. Where is God for him? Dead as well it seems.
I am not Catholic, but I found this statement absolutely satanic.
The NYT deserves NYC.
You’d be hard pressed to find a single copy of the New York Times down here.
We were also right about the fake flu.
Before the Action
I, that on my familiar hill
Saw with uncomprehending eyes
A hundred of thy sunsets spill
Their fresh and sanguine sacrifice
Ere the sun swings his noonday sword
Must say good-bye to all of this; –
By all delights that I shall miss,
Help me to die, O Lord.
The last poem of a promising young poet. William Noel Hodgeson was a 23 year old lieutenant in the Ninth Battalion of the Devonshire Regiment. He wrote that poem the day before he died. One of over 21,000 British soldiers that died in the first hour of the Somme offensive during WW I. The Devonshire Regiment was all but wiped out. Afterward their bodies were covered up in the trench in which they died and someone put a sign over it that said “The Devonshires held this trench. They hold it still.
One of so many soldiers that had the accurate premonition of their coming death and did their duty anyway.
One I hadn’t seen and was unfamiliar with its author. The whole face of Britain’s future was changed with that one battle.

BTW I hear that Canada is going to drop requirement to be “vaccinated” to cross the border. That means that once again I may be called on to make runs up there. Not what I wanted to hear.
These days I consider wearing a mask as the equivalent to showing that you have a low IQ. I still see them wearing the damned things even some walking outside alone!
Scumbag Biden is going to practically drain the rest of the Strategic Oil Reserve to a level not seen in over 40 years in order to try and artificially drive fuel prices down to give the impression that the democrats actually give a damn and are doing something effective to decreases prices just prior to the midterms.
It was a shot in the gut to see the committee at OPEC propose decreasing output by 2 million barrels. I would be surprised if Saudi Crown Prince is behind this since Biden and democrats have pissed him off at every turn.
Of course he was, rah. I wonder what was said to MbS behind closed doors. Threats? I wouldn’t be surprised. In fact I’d bet on it. The US does not treat its “friends” very well at all, as we are now discovering. As Andrei at the Saker calls this country…the Empire of Hate and Lies.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
Amen…and especially tonight for Mr Netanyahu who was taken to hospital with strong chest pains on Saturday (I believe). Very worrying. While he has been released, I am offering prayers for his return to good health.🙏
Amen
Amen
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.

Sherry made a big batch of Tuna salad. She puts diced hard boiled eggs in it but will not put dill pickle in it because she doesn’t like it that way. To me, it isn’t Tuna salad without dill pickle in it. So when I make a tuna salad sandwich I put hamburger dill chips on the bread before I pile her quasi tuna salad on it. It works just fine for me and for her.
