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 †

Because we let them control our lives….Just try and go to your bank and cash a check for say 5000. You will be questioned about it and may not get your money right away.

Lol!!!! Those eyes darting back and to 😂😂😂😂😂

Needs cat with matching facial expression….
That was taken a couple of years before I had a cat…and before I matured…
But as you can see I had the making of what was to come 😎…
Then passed it on to my cat 😁💕
Made me think of my daughter.
Just sent it to her.
Perfect!
Hahahaha!!! Made me think of mine as well, willthesuevi…

Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
for levi, and all other silent tree-branchers in our thoughts and prayers.
peace to all who gather here, and thank you Jesus for our joy in being together.
Good morning, Slowcobra😘
My last words to Almighty God last might were ones of gratitude for every one of our family in this Tree…and for His watchfulness over those no longer in our sight but who have left themselves in our hearts 🙏🏻
And whom we miss very, very much…
Indeed.Amen Bet and Slowcobra. Casco 🙂
Good morning, Cariad!! What a joy it is to see you😘
I find our missing family’s names running through my head more and more these days. It’s a long list…
I’m so glad to see you are not amongst them. Blessings always, Casco 🕊💕
You are so very kind and gracious,as always,Bet!
Working on paperwork at home today and tomorrow…tax time cometh, ya know.Blessings… Casco 🙂
Ugh….. And ugh again…
Waiting on the last forms we need to do ours.
I keep hearing that little voice in my head which repeats over and over ->
“Taxation is theft!
” Taxation is theft!!”
“TAXATION IS THEFT!!!”
Afternoon, Bet 🙂 The Mormon sisters I made friends with last year invited me to use their church’s genealogy center to do some family research. I found my parent’s long ago marriage license, along with other stuff. I think the church is in partnership with Ancestry.com — their software looks the same. The volunteer church members working at the center were both serious genealogy enthusiasts and very helpful. I spent a really interesting afternoon there. Nice folks.
Oh I’m sure it was interesting, Garrison. What a find! How lovely you’ve kept in contact with your friends. This afternoon was something I know you could never imagine when you all first met. A sweet blessing for you, dear friend 🕊🤗💕
Best cartoon!
Applause for the person who saw it, right, WSB?
I’m sure the tax authorities see it that way as well 😡
God morning, Treepers.
HUGE HUGE BLESSINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO KENJI ON THE BIRTH OF HIS “JANUARY” GRANDDAUGHTER. SO MUCH LOVE AND JOY. SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY.
As for us, it’s been a while since I have posted. Been dealing with some things. Quick status and I’ll try to keep my comments brief. (I posted a long report of the Indiana Gubernatorial Candidate Forum from Tuesday on the Presidential Thread. It’s good to know what these yahoos are up to.)
Savannah’s ankle is healing very nicely. The bruising is almost gone. She has ortho appt 2/1 and they will assess what they think may be a broken bone at the base of her fibula next to her ankle. First consult said it looked like an old injury, but she’s never had an injury there. Wondering if she hit a curb just right when she fell. But, she’s in her boot and she’s doing very well. She’s bearing weight, so hopefully no big deal.The woman who owed the money to my company and pretended friendship paid. I am grateful her conscience overwhelmed her. We won’t be extending further services to her and I am, sadly, reminded why I must maintain polite separation from personal and business friends and be very cautious about who to trust.We have been invited to another political engagement with the Mike Braun campaign on Friday, February 2nd. I need to pray over it and consider.Work is really rough. There are influencers coming in who are not good and are overtaking the owner. It directly affects my position and I am doing my best to try to mitigate future problems, but “woke” and “evil” screams louder and when owner doesn’t profess faith in God then evil just looks enticing.Important doctor appointment January 30th and will hopefully have some answers about my blood work.Almost finished with Betsy’s suggested reading of “A Grief Observed” by C.S. Lewis. I have been having some real tests of faith lately. Atlas is shrugging. (I don’t know if it were a good thing that I read that Ayn Rand novel as a 20 year old. Certainly prescient in its foretelling of our nation’s future and this Atlas is shrugging.)
In the interest of trying to be concise, I’ll just say… we are laboring forward. To whatever “forward” that is.
We love you and this blog site and I tell all who I can of your existence.
I leave you with this:
Mark 9:21-24
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood”, he answered. It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
“If you can?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.”
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
For me, and maybe for some of us, we are seeing the ways of this world and the attacks to us as insurmountable. They are insurmountable in and of our own power. They are way beyond our power and strength in depth and challenge. But God. They are not too much to Him Who Holds the world and Eternity In His Hands.
Blessings and God morning to you.
Woo, I have been woefully sketchy these past weeks about coming here first thing. The weather I think…but I missed the news about Savannah’s ankle and your troubles at work. I am sorry. That she is weight bearing is a good sign. Give it time. She’ll be right as ever. As for you? I left a message on page one, dear friend.
From my heart to yours 💕->💕🕊
Oh wow. So sorry for the formatting in this post. I formatted it, I swear! But the formatting disappeared from my desktop cut and paste from Word to the blog. My apologies. It looks different from my phone’s perspective, too. I tried.
Top of the afternoon, JWoo!
Noting your mention of “formatting” not transferring from Word to CTH comment blocks, I thought it useful to share what I have learned.
Prepare your long text posts offlne in a plain text-only format app. Not in a rich text app nor proprietary document format app such as Microsoft Word or Apple Pages or WordPerfect etc. Those apps insert all sorts of hidden codes that do not translate well into the CTH comment block.
If you don’t have or know if you have a plain text-only app, then see if Word (or whichever app you’re using) can convert your document to Plain Text before copying & pasting into the CTH comment block.
Apple computers have an app called Text Edit that comes with the Operating System, while their mobile devices have an app “Notes” that’ll work in Plain Text mode.
Windows 11 (and earlier versions) has a plain text editor app called Notepad that should be ideal for this.
Blessings back atcha, Baritone.
Thank you for the lesson. You are right, I typed it out in Word and then posted so I wouldn’t get caught up in the edit refresh where it boots us out.
Posted it via my desktop, had formats, then poof they disappeared.
Plus view is different on phone verses desktop. I’ve got a Droid and avoid Apple iOS like the plague.
I’ll have to check if Word will convert to plain text.
Or, really, Bari… my posts should be more brief. But, I digress…. again. Lol
Don’t worry about your long posts. You are sharing & venting with folks who you know are understanding & supportive.
Find Notepad in your Windows apps (its included with Windows) and use that for creating the longer posts for CTH.
On your Android, IDK what apps are included but there are some free note-taking apps in the App store that are plain text only. My daughter loves & uses Samsung Galaxy’s (Android) but I have never used one.
Stay warm..
Shorten ye not, Woo!! 💕
A good late afternoon to you, dear ‘Woo. 🙂 Goodness reading your words has me feeling overwhelmed without lifting a finger. One thing about being dyslexic is we tend to not be very good at multitasking—drove one of my sorta compulsive bosses nuts (as you can imagine). Re: your boss’s persistent unbelief. When similar things have happened, I try to remember that Our Lord loves His children. He even loves those who are errant and persistent in their unbelief.
When faced with this kind of rejection, I don’t insist, don’t argue with them, nor do I repeat myself unless asked. What I do instead is quietly pray for them. This is sometimes hard to do and I wish I did a better job of it. But, I truly believe Our Lord will Hear our Prayers to Him. Sometimes that’s simply the best you can do.
Be well, dear ‘Woo. I’m pleased that Savanna is on the mend. Having fractured my had a few months ago I know how frustrating fractures can be. Fortunately, she
has youth on her side. Let’s hope she’s out of that boot ASAP.
You said what I meant to, Garrison.
She does have youth on her side. Quick healers the young…
Were we young once?
Hard to remember…😉

Praying for you
Thank you, TG.
Tests of faith aren’t permanent and it’s a blessing to laugh along with our local yokels.
Showed kiddo the funny cat pics and sillies… our cats gave us the irritated side eye with the anime rockabilly music. She busted a gut and especially liked Betsy’s picture of her, which she emphatically agrees with.
This place is a safe place to come to pull up a limb by the pond and dangle our toes in the water as we contemplate the cosmos.
It’s not how we fall down. It’s how we get back up, again.
Blessings on you, girlfriend.
Poem by Hayden Foster Wallace (b.1994-d.2024)
The world is all created, constructed, misappropriated.
Rigid frameworks tell us how to be, who to love, what to see.
When we are born we are forced to inherit,
A view of the world and all of its merits.
All different perspectives are most in the chatter,
Of stubborn minds with one opinion on the matter.
Problems of far, and problems of wide
are caused because of this divide.
One claims their right, as the other does too
People with power tell their patrons what to do.
Nationalism seethes into their minds,-Blinded,
War is the only answer one finds.
Do we not all laugh, love and cry
Do we not all judge, cheat and lie
Laugh to escape our worries and fears.
Love to justify all of our years,
Cry because there is no other way
To express ourselves when we find dismay.
Judge those who are different from us.
Cheat to satisfy all of our lusts.
Lie because all that we think of the truth,
is an unfathomable idea with no sort of proof.
For moral absolutionism does not exist,
Evil does no good man resist.
Nor does the evil man no good deeds,
a family he may have to feed.
We are more alike than not.
Constructed ideas just cloud our thoughts.
Mutual respect is what we need
Encouragement of the independent mind to feed.
Image a world where children are taught,
to be whom they like, to have their own thought.
Not setup to fail in someone else’s dream,
A reflection of the current social regime.
Imagine a world that does not fear its own expression,
A way to save us from our own oppression.
A world where I am me and you are you,
Where he is she and we are us.
A world without constructed dominion,
But in the end,
This is just my opinion.

Welcome to prairie weather. Spring is coming.
I love this one because my beloved mother in law, a graduate of Rice University, hated all her yearbook pictures. We found that book and looked for her and found that she had taken a pen to each page where she was and completely marked out her face, just as in the picture below.
Which annoyed us because she was a beauty…
I texted this to my girls with the message, “Tady unfriended herself.”
Laughing faces aplenty were their responses…😂
Now if only I had a recipe which called for this 🤔
/revision/latest?cb=20141106195348
LOLOLOL!!!!!! Perfect! 😂
Hey Grandad!! Off to see your new wee bairn?? 💕 I bet your arms are itchin’ to hold her 😌
Leaving momentarily ! They say she’s been fussy this morning … 😳😜😂 … welcome to parenthood!!! And just wait till granddad’s calming arms and presence snuggles her up … it’s like magic! … until it isn’t … and then I can hand her back and head for the Lobby 😜😂😬🥰😍
Ahhhhh!!! Yes that’s the routine all right. Go do your magic, dear friend. I suspect she’ll calm right down.
At some point you will have to tell us her name, you know…
We are all dead curious 😍😘
We’ve met baby Miya … pronounced Mee-yah. And she’s a cutie. She knew grandpa was coming so she slept peacefully the whole visit … simply looking cute. Mom is a little worn out (as is my son 🙂) as getting cut open like a fish to give birth is a little rough at first. Not mom’s preference but Baby Miya wasn’t getting properly oriented for birthing … and their hospital has a protocol … No attempts of breach births. We’ll see her again in a couple days … when their little family is back home. All are well … and we’re just bursting.
Lots of dark, slightly curly hair (like mom) … very cute … you be the judge.
Im trying Imgur … in hope I can safely share a snap of baby Miya. I’m barely tech functional.
Oh sweet, sweet baby!!! I’m in love,Kenji. Something tells me you are, too 💕 I adore her name…I know she’s new, but I sense Miya fits her perfectly 😌
And that’s what I judge…she’s perfection!
As I told you all three of mine were sections and my babies were so gorgeous as a result right after birth. I, on the other hand, was not, but I recovered quickly as I am sure Miya’s mother will as well. A couple of rough days, but it’s all up hill after.
Both are ok and that’s all that matters 🙏🏻 🕊
May all God’s blessings rest with this child always, dear friend, and on all who love her 🙏🏻
Imgur works fine…keep em coming as and when 😘 🤗
I can feel your joy now with so much more to come…
Couldn’t wait to share a snap … she was swaddled so tightly … and she had JUST endured some dreadful (but necessary) procedure where her poor little foot got jabbed with a needle about 6x … and she was inconsolably shrieking. We just missed it … 😜 … my “magic touch” worked in absentia. So I didn’t want to unswaddle her for better photos … as she likes those tightly confining blankets … plenty of time for better pics later.
My kids were pretty wiped out … said Miya’s quite a screamer. I’m smirking at them as they are a *ahem* somewhat PERFECT “power couple” who are both somewhere on the OCD spectrum … and their lives are literally perfectly ordered and organized. How a disorganized old hippie like me could spawn a neat freak is almost comical. But I’m smirking because all that perfection is about to come apart at the seams … hahahahaha ha ha … welcome to parenthood in the “late” thirties. But they’re really good people who can handle the change … but oh my! The change is coming … the change is HERE! 😂🥰😍🥰
PRECIOUS, PAPA KENJI !!! 💜🧚🏻♀️💜
THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR BLESSINGS RECEIVED AND PRAYERS ANSWERED !!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
So sweet, sis!! 💕
Seriously. Bless you for your prayers. So much appreciated from a man who absolutely believes in the power of prayer.
Duchess always has just the right thing for the occasion 💕
And this is perfect for your new arrival 🕊
Wiped out??? Oh bless them, Kenji. Tis the start of a life no one can prepare them for. The “boss” ( for a little while anyway) is about to move in 😊 !
My own daughter was like them, her life meticulously planned out. University, job, house, marriage, A baby. but God had other plans, and A first baby was in fact two. Serendipity and taking life as it came and not planned was the new order of the day. She wouldn’t change one part of it, looking back now as she is at her young men headed out the door to university and their own lives.
It will be the same for Miya’s parents. I think you will play a very important part in their lives and hers, my friend in ways you or they can’t imagine right now.Such an exciting and fulfilling journey awaits for all of you…I must admit to being a bit envious.
Thank you for letting us live vicariously through your journey with this precious gift from God. Can’t wait to watch her grow! 😘 🤗
Q
TBF … you’ve kind of egged me on … because you have a heart for others. I was happy to take the bait.
Wow. twins right out of the starting blocks. I’ll remind my kid of how EASY he’s got it 😜😂🤦♂️. I told them both today that having a child CHANGES humans. It’s part of our DNA-deal with God … that we refocus ourselves and reorganize our priorities … at which point my (someday) Daughter in Law … being the scientist she is … said that daddies who are involved with childbirth … experience the same excretion of “breastfeeding hormones” as women do after childbirth … Oxytocin and Prolactin. Those hormones squelch the testosterone that makes men aggressive … and have a wandering eye. It helps bond them to their family.
Isn’t God bloody amazing!?
Angel 😇
Congrats kenji! She is lovely and precious!
she’s beautiful, kenji ♥️
love her name..
Me too … here’s the Japanese spelling … みや
Seriously. We must have a person of Japanese heritage here on CTH who can confirm the characters.
Maybe I’ll have it tattooed on my arm ? 😂😂 … nahh … I’ve got boring old unmarked skin.
Okay where is my cigar proud papa?
Good looking bairn
Smoking it for you now …
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/d2573a40-abcf-4be9-9fb1-5b15278da587
Well THAT didn’t work … so here ya go …
Congratulations grand Kenji
I like the sound of that 😜🥰
Ohhh, she is beautiful, Grampa Kenji with a beautiful name.
Beautiful!
it was only hours later on a 2nd pass that i got this olive oil joke
Now wait a minute. If your mom was in Rice University in the latter ’70 or ’80s when “big hair” was popular, you’re a LOT younger than you’ve implied! 😉
No, GB!!! So sorry for the confusion…
The above is just a meme which reminded me of the story about my mother in law’s yearbook when she was at Rice in the 40s!
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
But looking at all that hair above, I’m sure AquaNet had a profit busting year or two! 😎
I never had hair like that…but by golly I did have cans of AquaNet. And, boy, did I go through it like a hot knife through butter…
Those were the days 😉😘
In our mothers’ days it was Dippity-Do. The green stuff, lol. I remember it well.
Oh my GOSH!!!!! ALLEYCATS!!!!!
I’d forgotten about Dippity-Do!!
WOW!!!! Thanks for the reminder 😍
Hey, Dippity-Do was popular with the boys in the latter ’50s! Remember the “greaser’ look? Those high pompadours didn’t hold up in the wind without a little “glue”……..
Dip your comb in the jar (green gel) and run thru your hair…. Shape any waves of contours quickly before it “set”.
Dippety dooooooo!!!!!
🤣🤣
They were called Teddy Boys in the UK.
Chris said he did his hair that way then…slicked that stuff on the sides, then, as he just said, pulled it forward like a duck’s ass!
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Oh those were Duck Tails hair do’s, sort of like Elvis’s (he left his forward hair rather unkempt, sometimes hanging down a bit). But the standard was this:
I was talking about Pompadours, like this:
Yuck, pillow protectors a must
LOL! They don’t survive a shower and sleeping. Hence the Dippity Do……..
Please … the pompadour has been replaced by … the Quiff. All the international footballers were sporting a Quiff in the early 2,000’s … 😜
https://www.apetogentleman.com/quiff-hairstyles-guide-men/
Yep. Just as the clean shaven face was replaced by the grubby stubble look……
😂
Yes!! Exactly!! Although he says his was more John Lennon-y.
Makes sense as he used to go with his mate to see the Beatles at the Cavern.
So I like to lay claim to a near perfect birthday to have experienced the incredible music of the 60’s and 70’s … but I was born just a little too late … and on the wrong island 😜 … to have seen the pre-Beatles perform live at the cavern. Wow. What an amazing … lucky … life to have lived. Bloody awesome
Yep, in my days. When my dad wasn’t working so no money for the luxury of Dippity Do I used stale beer for hair setting “gel”. Worked like a charm.😁
😜😂😂😂 … speaking as someone who had his share of beer poured over his head by his Frat brothers … I can certify the “holding power” of a full bodied stout malt
Now Hair This!
LOL!!!!! 😁👍🏻
Aqua Net!!!!
Pasting people together for decades.
Like suction cups on the bottom of your feet navigating the bathroom in search of my blue eyeliner.
Hands up – if you remember walking into the restroom at your high school, and there was a giant cloud of Aqua Net hovering in the air. 🤣
Ooooo, ooooo, Me!!! Me!!!
This Alaska band sat in on one of our weekly gigs in Honolulu
The were a scream and had the whole house up and dancing

Hair so big it spilled out of individual pictures into the ones next to them 😎 😁
Increasing talk about some scientists prognosticating that we’re headed into a “Grand Solar Minimum”
Fact: There is no accepted scientific definition for what a Grand Solar Minimum actually is! By that I mean set parameters of metrics of solar output.
I know that because I asked astrophysicist Sven Wedemeyer for the definition and his response was:”You’ll know it when your in one”
It feels as if we are at the start of one.
Eeeek….I dread to think.
Ominous.
If they admit that then it kills their global warming argument by proving the sun affects climate more than man.
Of course, they will switch their lies any way they see fit to continue the scam
I know you have posted that before about there being no accepted definition of “Grand Solar Minimum”.
But regardless, a LOT of scientists keep referring to a Solar Minimum or Maunder Minimum or a “Grand Solar Minimum” so it appears that, like a lot else in our language, it’s just another name referring to the low part of the solar activity cycle.

They need a scientific definition.
And when they’re done with that … they can work on a SCIENTIFIC definition for the word … “drought”. Because according to the State of CA … any three dry days in a row is another crippling global warming induced “drought”. There is no definition of the word.

“Joe Biden reversed Trump policy and sent over $1 billion to UNRWA since he entered office. UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
President Trump announced in 2018 that the United States would no longer be funding UNRWA until the Palestinians until they made a deal for peace with Israel. The left-wing Brookings Institute said this would bring war. It brought peace instead. Trump then went around the Palestinians and forged the historic Abraham Accords with Israel and several Muslim nations in the Middle East.
When Joe Biden came into office he changed everything and today the Middle East is again at war and Israel has suffered the worst attack on Jews since World War II. Nice work, Joe!”

It is fun watching the guitar player alternate between his two necks.
And the singer is bass player.
But how did the guitar player escape the ‘la la la’ purgatory?
He didn’t even get a microphone. Just how bad does his voice sound?

“We will immediately appeal. We will set aside that ridiculous jury. And I just want to remind you all of one thing. I will continue with President Trump to fight for everybody’s first Amendment right to speak. Everybody’s a right to defend themselves when they are wrongfully accused. ”
“Following this kangaroo court sentencing where President Trump was not able to speak freely and was not able to defend himself against the completely ridiculous story, Nikki Haley decided it was a good time to attack President Trump.”
“Nikki Haley: Donald Trump wants to be the presumptive Republican nominee and we’re talking about $83 million in damages. We’re not talking about fixing the border. We’re not talking about tackling inflation. America can do better than Donald Trump and Joe Biden.”
Perhaps Nikki would like to borrow the
‘Ms. Carroll could NOT have worn that dress; as the designer made it “AFTER 1999” ‘ ?🙈🙉🐵
Nikki Haley is using the talking points of Indivisible, the Marxist organization backed by her donor Reid Hoffman.
nikki Haley says she does not listen to her donors. Really??? She is repeating the talking points of Indivisible, a Marxist organization.

Yes, they are everywhere, they are truly psychopaths.
Now I really hate her!

The picture on the left… is par for the course at our house.
Earlier this afternoon, I had my phone in my hand reading emails. Our Maine Coon, Harry, came up on the couch with me, asking for permission to come up on my lap, gently nudging the phone with his head.
I set the phone aside and set to massaging his little cheeks and he made his way on my lap to snuggle. Then up my belly, and climbed into the nook of my arm to snuggle. Tucked his little nose into my neck and just snuggled snuggled… and purred.
Phone? What phone?
Who needs a phone when one has a romeo cat? Bless his little purrrrfect heart.

Oh Lord … I’m STILL laughing at that left side panel …

I got a nice chuckle from “I still want to.”
Brief excerpt of Putin responding in a meeting with students at a university yesterday, many of whom volunteered for either actual military duty or behind-the-lines support of freeing the people of the Donbas and other targeted ethnic Russian (formerly Ukrainian) folks:
“Everything that was happening there, especially in the territories occupied by the enemy, was genocide, there is no other way to describe it. People were being exterminated.
There, on the lands that historically belonged to us, Russians were declared a non-titular nation, and the law was passed. I do not want to use offensive language… That is, on the contrary, that is exactly what I want to use. But since the cameras are rolling and there are ladies present, I cannot do it. But I still want to.
In fact, Russians were announced a non-titular nation on our historical lands. They also announced they would not fulfil the Minsk agreements. At the same time, they continued to work on creating an anti-Russia bridgehead on the territory which is now called Ukraine. They started creating an enclave. They deceived us ten times in a row about the non-expansion of NATO. All of this taken together simply did not leave us any choice but to launch the special military operation. “
Phew! That’s better 👏👏😂🩷🩷
Niiiiiiice, annie…I used to be a huge fan of the Kinks. Such a long time ago. Thanks for this 😘
Hmmm. It seems she had not yet discovered the ease of using a water tank to see if there are any bubbles coming up from the immersed section of tire / tube….. I tested many a bicycle tire / inner tube in one of these at the neighborhood gas station. They were made of galvanized steel before plastic versions were made.
Chris’s first job was as a tire fitter in Oxton, England. He used to do this to check for leaks, though he said there weren’t many tubeless tires back then. No machines either, everything done by hand.
He was never as fit as he was after the summer he worked there.
Manhandling steel wheels with tires on them is no job for a lightweight. I’ve lugged a few in my younger years…. and yes, that kind of physical work is wonderful when one can handle it for 8 hours or longer. 😃
Insomnia is unheard of when you work like that. 😴
I often started with the ear test before proceeding to water, usually a hose would suffice.
Yes. It’s the slow leaks that needed the tank. Sometimes I used diluted dish detergent at home. Paint the tire in sections and watch. Leak will cause soap bubbles to form
Only 3 lug nuts
Those were the olden days 😎
She’s gonna get those flowing tresses caught in some spinning auto-part … and have a very bad day

Hello friends,
It took me a lot of time to translate the following video. I think it’s important and can be used by my government in Israel as a tool to explain the subject right now that the US and some other countries suspended the funds for UNRWA. As you probably know there is evidence of some 15 UNRWA employees in Gaza who participated in the 10/7 massacre, also UNRWA teacher or few held Israeli hostages in their homes. I am not sure if it was one or few. There is more to be said but I intend to probably send the translated video to the Office of Foreign Relations and possibly the Office of the Prime Minister too. I think they can use it to explain. I am kindly asking you to correct me if there are English errors and also if think that it’s useful or not?
Erratum: the use of “off” instead of “of”. Only thing I noticed was this typo.
Thanks.
12 seconds, should be ‘every’
very good video! And you did a great job of explaining to us quite a few weeks ago about UNRWA!
thank you for translating!
And yes, I think this video is very useful!
❤️
I see. I will leave it for now and change it tomorrow. Otherwise the video will not be available today.
🇮🇱🎶 David: Shavuah Tov. Good video and translating.
I see a few things you might want to change (NOT in the order as shown on the video)
nurses..
should be
nurses,
it’s stems
should be
it stems
re-conquer
should be
reconquer
taxpayer is one word
Seems like you did not translate a whole phrase or part of a sentence between
Jordan
and
The entire manpower …
I may find more if you want me to keep looking tomorrow?
Thank you! I changed to: “it stems”, “reconquering”, “taxpayer’s money” ,
regarding the missing part of the sentence, he said : “in all the places, in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, Jordan, in all the places were UNRWA operates”. I just cut off the double language and wrote: “in all the places that UNRWA operates, in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, Lebanon, the entire manpower is Palestinian. “. But in another place he threw in a list of towns in Israel and then said “Israel” and I decided that the names of the Israeli town will just confuse the Anglo-Saxon viewers who will not know the names, so I skipped it and jumped straight to “Israel” and it made sense. I took the liberty. If the DR. treats it like a copyright I will have to delete everyone if he disagrees but I think I want to promote this if there are no objections. I have no personal motive.
Regarding the thing you mentioned at the beginning with the list of “teachers, doctors, nurses..”. I just added a dot: “teachers, doctors, nurses…”. It means like “etc” which he meant.
I will post it again tomorrow on YouTube so you don’t see the changes yet. Thank you again.
The only thing I really hesitate about is the sentence where he says that “Gaza, Hamas and UNRWA are the same” or something like it. Which if an Israeli official uses it, it could be used against them as a justification for genocide”.
I took off the comma between “Gaza and Hamas” so you could say “Gaza Hamas”. I almost changed it to “Gazan Hamas” which would resolve the problem but is doubtful that I can do it as it is a change of what he said. So it’s does seem now as what he meant but without the comma it can be debated. I hope you understand, it’s kind of complicated.

Thank you to all who have been so nice to me as I’ve welcomed my FIRST granddaughter and #3 in the grandkid count. Your well wishes are received with humble thankfulness. And thanks to everyone for NOT saying little Miya is … “breathtaking” 😜😂😂
All I need is another 8 or 9 grandkids and I’ll be up to the “RED State grandkid average” … 😜😂😂
Yep. Little Miya is the meaning of life … and I am committed to making her keenly aware her “privilege” of having a multi-generational extended family
Amen to that one
