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 †

Morning Ya’ll , 🙂
Great stuff, jay!
🙂
Good morning, jay💓 I really really enjoyed those. Mellow…who couldn’t use some of that!
Maidin Mhaith , Betsy 🙂 Definitely need some mellow this week.
I wouldn’t mind it every day of every week😉!!
DR definitely a jazz legend–if you like the really old stuff–WDCB Saturday AM has a “when Jazz was King” program, great historical perspectives, DR been featured more than once. I like the first pic with the “electric guitar”
http://www.kser.org/
Jim Hilmar does Frettin Fingers at 11am pacific time or stream past shows. One of my favorite radio shows, all things guitar.
Texas Swing was definitely influenced by DR. If you listen to Willie for instance you hear quite a lot of DR style licks.
I was ready to take my wife for a quick foxtrot around the kitchen during “Out of Nowhere” but she was somewhere off in another part of the house. Maybe next time….. 😉
Her loss…😉
This is an especially elegaic piece by Maximo Diego Pujol. Alas I couldn’t find a video of him performing this wonderful music. This performance is quite good, however . . . Enjoy, Treepers.
Good morning, Garrison💓 Oh how lovely. And it really made me think of this…
“When from our better selves we have too long
Been parted by the hurrying world, and droop,
Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired,
How gracious, how benign is solitude.”
~~William Wordsworth~~
And where I almost think solitude is something most sought after but so difficult to find, this beautifully quiet piece you posted reminded me that we can find just a bit of it in music like this, beautifully played. Thank you, Garrison. Blessings to you this day and every day thereafter. B
Morning, Betsy. Pujol is a great player and a wonderful composer. He’s the real deal. 🙂
Well, we in this house really enjoyed it. A peaceful way to start the day. 🤗
“The blacker the night around us grew, the brighter and truer and more beautiful burned THE WORD OF GOD.”
~~Corrie ten Boom~~
Amen, H…and Amen, Corrie.
Good morning Betsy, I have heard Corrie ten Boom a few times on the Focus on the Family. Very powerful.
Morning G💓…I read an interesting story she told about the time she asked her father about sex whilst they were standing in a train station. She was only young.
He asked her to help him (without answering) to pick up his case in which were all the things he was selling. She tried to oblige but it was too heavy for her. He then said to her that her question was like that.
Some things were too heavy for her to handle while she was so young, and that some day she would understand. But in the meantime, it was up to him, her father, to carry the load and heaviness of that knowledge.
I have phrased that story from memory so was unable to deliver her beautiful language which made it more powerful. But it was a masterful and exquisite piece of writing to explain why that topic for children is so inappropriate…and which groomer Dems and Leftists today will not understand because of their unholy and impure motives.
I wish I could have heard her. An amazing woman.
Focus on the Family and Chuck Swindol were the programs I got to listen to on my way to work for 25 years. on San Antonio’s AM Christian station. Hear a lot of good stuff.
This whole week I’ve been so busy with mom, children and grandchildren that I’ve only checked the OT sporadically. Still that way even today. 💗
I do understand and have noticed not as much of you if I can put it that way. I’m so glad you are there for them. It’s the same here with our daughter and her 3. We are perpetually, most willingly on standby in case she needs us.
When we first moved back, I’m pretty sure she thought we’d be on her doorstep every day, which I assured her we would not be. I said to her if you need us, we are here. If you don’t, we will not be in your way.
Neither she nor we could foresee how her ordered life would become unordered and on the edge of chaos through absolutely no fault of hers. And here we were, as if Someone knew she’d need us. Which is what I, looking back, am convinced He knew.
That’s what grandparents are for, Bet. And of course, He knew.
Just got finished with half a day of clerical work, translating a POA in English so I can notarize it on Monday, then take it to Austin for a special stamp together with the death certificate. That should help lay the groundwork for taking care of stepdad’s affairs in the old country. Apparently, there you are not dead until you have a local document issued. Mom and I will still have to make a trip there but I’m trying to have all the grunt work done ahead of time so we don’t get stuck with any bureaucracy. And all that while I sent to renew her expired US passport and did a couple of extra chores. And for fun watered the garden this morning and tonight picked up a few tomatoes. already started picking zucchini and peppers a few days ago. PTL!
Why do things have to be so complicated? They really put you through the wringer, don’t they? Here and now there. Just at a time when the energy to get the legalities taken care of is probably at a real low. I am sorry, G.🙏
I just read an article on Zerohedge about the heat coming our way next week starting Sunday. I keep us at 81-82 AC with ceiling fans going full. It’s tolerable. We are the frogs in the pot when spring and summer come. I view it almost as a challenge to see how much we can tolerate without the AC. More so than an eye watering bill at the end of the month I always think. And of course stay hydrated. I hope all y’all do the same. ERCOT says no worries…there better not be!!!
There is nothing like homegrown fresh veg. I hope you all enjoy them😘
Friday the 13th. I am not superstitious or anything, but back in the day I used to take Friday the 13th off to have a 3 day weekend. Good times, good times.
Today is May 13th, an anniversary date important in the history of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima, so I tend to take May 13th off for this reason. Plus, this year it’s on a Friday so I get a 3 day weekend. And as a birdwatcher, it’s also spring warbler migration season. So I am now heading out to a nature trail … 😎
Enjoy your day, phoenix..in Britain you would be known as a Twitcher, the name for avid bird lovers.
We’ve got a nest with a couple of newbie mockingbirds, and are watching a male cardinal which seems to have realized we are bird lovers as well, diving into the feeder. He’s not staying as he normally does. In and out he goes… enough time, I suspect, to grab a take away meal for his missus who is somewhere on a nest. My guess only but it makes sense to me.
Envy is no good, but in this instance I’ll say I do envy your day spent in the world He made. Enjoy!!
Hi Betsy jones!
Hope that however you’re spending your day, you’re spending it well and enjoying the springtime.
Mockingbirds are very cool to have living nearby given their renowned singing ability. And Cardinals always make the day brighter, and yes, feeding one’s mate is part of courtship so it makes sense they would also help out at nesting time.
Back for a lunch break. Instead of driving quite a ways to go to one of the more “famous” birding hot spots, I just hung out at a humble little nearby park which is actually a pretty good well-kept secret. So I avoided the literal mob scenes on boardwalks where there can sometimes be as many or more people than there are birds, at one place it can be over a hundred elbow to elbow and talking real loud all at once.
Of course those places are popular for good reason and have their place, … rare birds come in real close and experts cheerily call them out and identify them for newbies. But there’s much to be said for a peaceful, quiet day in the sun … or even during a downpour like last week, where you can get some incredible photos. And even at my little park, there were plenty of warblers out and about … I counted eleven different species there, plus two other species along the way, for a total of 13 warblers on May 13! (Plus I noticed the regular summer species are back home for the season.) 🙂
I am with you in spirit, phoenix. Anywhere you can find peace is a good place. And there are those who, in spite of the multitudes, can find a sort of peace within themselves.
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the movie The Big Year with Steve Martin in a well acted role, Jack Black and Owen Wilson, both roles also well acted.
It was not a big grosser, but all the better because it is a little gem. The premise is three amateur bird watchers compete to become the ultimate “birder” by spotting the greatest number of species within a calendar year. And that is the backdrop for a beautiful story about life and love and nature. It is warm, funny, and in spots bittersweet. Plus some gorgeous birds playing bit stunning parts. I can highly recommend it for you. I think you’d enjoy it immensely, as we did.
I’m so happy you had such a good day doing what you enjoy. We all should really raise our eyes to what He has created. If only we’d shift our gaze from the worries of the day, if we did this one thing I suspect our hearts would be lifted as well.
I do thank you for sharing your day. It made mine brighter. Blessings always. B

rah, tell us about the diesel situation
Nothing to tell so far! I fuel at my terminal as much as I can and did not fuel on the road at all this week. However, I had two slow weeks and then it got crazy busy this week and it has me kind of wondering if Toyota is stocking up on replacement parts in anticipation of there being a problem. All I did this week was Toyota replacement parts.
Two runs with Toyota Service Parts to the DC in Kansas City. KA. Back hauls were dry car batteries out of St. Joseph, MO on Tuesday. Spice tailings in bulk bags out of Unilever in Independence, MO on Thursday. Today (Friday) I did a Toyota milk run taking empty racks to and picking up parts at North American Lighting in Salem, IL then a stop at a NKS in Plainfield, IN picking up more Toyota Service parts. Then home.
I got up at 00:30, departed the terminal at 02:30 and got back to the home terminal an hour late at 13:00 because of getting caught in the back up of a bad accident on I-70 east of Effingham, IL. One big truck ran into the back of another very hard. It took them 40 minutes to extract the driver and get him on the life line helicopter. Based on the looks of the truck cab, I’m not sure that driver made it.
Monday at 04:00 I take off for a TENNECO milk run in the Chicago area. First stop Skokie, IL , Second stop Shiller Park, IL, then two stops in Elk Grove Village, IL out by the airport. Then back home to Anderson, IN.
Worst part of that run is taking I-94 up through the city during the morning rush. But I have noticed over the years that out of all weekdays, Monday morning rushes in any big city seem to be the lightest.
thank you for that update, rah. just that “news” tells of diesel shortages and over $6 a gal. here is Oregon gas price up over 40% since brandon advent. we drive about 5000 miles a year at our age and get about 20 mpg in our 10 year old 4 runner
And the beat goes on.
Net Zero? India Plans to DOUBLE Coal Use by 2040 – Watts Up With That?
“Common Core” math goes around the world I guess.
Put it like this, rah…the West is in the “climate forest” and cannot see one tree. India is not in that forest and can see all the trees. They are not suicidal.
I don’t think they use the same clean coal technology we use either?
It comes from China, so probably not.
And to make you all feel better, India is #2 in “green house gas” emissions after China. Meanwhile we in the US are now #3 and while the first two have emissions that are climbing ours have been going down for years.

Thank you My Magic Wand!
What a talent and authentically nice person.
Well, this is the first National News article I have ever seen on Morel Mushroom hunting. Those of us who have done it (my Dad was an enthusiast and we went out hunting every May) know what it’s all about and those of you who don’t, well you missed out on something magical when growing up.
Too many mushrooms for two guys to pick – Iowa Men Find Nearly 200 Pounds of Morels
Jimmy Johnson and Rusty Gates went mushroom hunting on May 7 in southeast Iowa and had little success at first. After roughly an hour, they found more morels than ever expected.
A seasoned mushroom hunter, Johnson knew where to look for morels. He knew he’d find some near dead elm trees, but he was surprised to find these mushrooms growing all over the place. “A lot of maple trees and oak trees. For some reason, white oak, and that’s unusual.”
Eventually, Johnson and Gates couldn’t carry all of the mushrooms they found. Johnson called his son, Trenton, who ferried some of the loaded mesh bags home while the two men continued hunting.
After six full hours of mushroom hunting, the two men collected 130 pounds of morel mushrooms. They posted about their success in Morel Reports of Southeast Iowa’s Facebook Group.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/tripideas/two-iowa-men-find-nearly-200-pounds-of-morels/ar-AAXcNbE
Ca-Ching!
I was lucky to find 6-8 morels on a cousins farm in the 70’s. Local market was buying for $12 a pound back then for resale.
Unless they plan on eating all 130 pounds that is.
Current E-bay price for dehydrated morels $168 a pound, assuming 50% water loss dehydrating just shy of 11,000 bucks.
As far as mushrooms go, the only thing I love more than morels … is more morels! 🙂
WTF is, “…because of the untimeliness of Durham’s request.”
What kind of BS is this?
Their normal BS.
May 13 Oswald Chambers
The Habit of Keeping a Clear Conscience
…strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men. —Acts 24:16
God’s commands to us are actually given to the life of His Son in us. Consequently, to our human nature in which God’s Son has been formed (see Galatians 4:19), His commands are difficult. But they become divinely easy once we obey.
Conscience is that ability within me that attaches itself to the highest standard I know, and then continually reminds me of what that standard demands that I do. It is the eye of the soul which looks out either toward God or toward what we regard as the highest standard. This explains why conscience is different in different people. If I am in the habit of continually holding God’s standard in front of me, my conscience will always direct me to God’s perfect law and indicate what I should do. The question is, will I obey? I have to make an effort to keep my conscience so sensitive that I can live without any offense toward anyone. I should be living in such perfect harmony with God’s Son that the spirit of my mind is being renewed through every circumstance of life, and that I may be able to quickly “prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2 ; also see Ephesians 4:23).
God always instructs us down to the last detail. Is my ear sensitive enough to hear even the softest whisper of the Spirit, so that I know what I should do? “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God…” (Ephesians 4:30). He does not speak with a voice like thunder— His voice is so gentle that it is easy for us to ignore. And the only thing that keeps our conscience sensitive to Him is the habit of being open to God on the inside. When you begin to debate, stop immediately. Don’t ask, “Why can’t I do this?” You are on the wrong track. There is no debating possible once your conscience speaks. Whatever it is— drop it, and see that you keep your inner vision clear.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The place for the comforter is not that of one who preaches, but of the comrade who says nothing, but prays to God about the matter. The biggest thing you can do for those who are suffering is not to talk platitudes, not to ask questions, but to get into contact with God, and the “greater works” will be done by prayer (see John 14:12–13).
Good morning, Cat💓 I always think of our conscience as the guardian of our souls, its voice always present. If we only we pay heed to it, we are in safe Hands. Thinking of you and wishing all of Gods blessings and peace will keep you company in the days to come😘🙏
Good morning!
Today is the day to put your faith in Jesus Christ.
Be well.

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.

The Great American Songbook……………
“Mambo Italiano”. Written by Bob Merrill in 1954. Merrill was under a recording deadline. He was having a quick lunch at an NY Italian eatery and inspired by the waiters hustle and bustle, scribbled the lyrics on a paper napkin. In a hurry and using the wall pay-phone, he dictated the melody, rhythm and lyrics to the studio pianist. It quickly became a hit for Rosemary Clooney.
Okay so, not my genre, but admire Forgiato Blow for the effort, he cut a song about 2000 Mules. He’s a MAGA patriot.

MORNING
Pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. I Tim. 2:8
The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23, 24
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. Isa. 58:9
When ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any. Mark 11:25
Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb. 11:6
Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the LORD. James 1:6, 7
If I regard iniquity in my heart, the LORD will not hear me. Psa. 66:18
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not, And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins. I John 2:1, 2

Mornin’ comrade infidels.
He actually said the Dems “control ALL THREE branches of government,” the judiciary being one. Unless he thinks the Senate counts as a branch and the House as another and has forgotten, if he ever knew, that the judiciary is the third branch. I suspect that’s the case, though from judicial rulings that have been issued, I actually am beginning to think the Dems do control the third branch.

Friday the 13th is easy for me, there’s two a year at times so I always pretend that it’s the good one and not the bad one. Did you know from 2015 to 2022, there are expected to be 14 Friday the 13th’s?
Making way for the weekend. Have a good one y’all.
Hmmm. You think that question about how many Friday the 13ths are “expected” might be a bit out of date?
🤣
Whoops… yes it is. There is 1 in 2022, and 2 in 2023.
👍 Good recovery…
NATIONAL APPLE PIE DAY – MAY 13
The first apple pie recipe printed was in England in 1381.
While the apple pie existed well before the Pilgrims landed on the eastern shores of what is now The United States, Americans wax poetic about how American apple pie is. The phrase “as American as apple pie” has been around for more than 100 years.
Teddy Roosevelt was impressed to have a taste of home when he was served an American apple pie while traveling in Africa.
Soldiers during World War II were often quoted they were fighting “for Mom and apple pie.”
While apple pie and vanilla ice cream are a standard, I do like the British apple pie and wedge of good cheddar combo.
Sometimes, UC, the Brits like a splash of heavy cream (whipping cream to us Yanks as the fondly called us) on their wedge.😁
When I was a teenage cook in a family style restaurant, someone wanted hot apple pie ala mode. I got a slice out of the refrigerator, passed it to the prep guy and said, hot apple pie and make it ala mode. He took the pie, plopped a big dip of ice cream on it and stuck it in the microwave to make it hot. Yep, it was a mess.
Oh geeeee…😂
…and my twin grandsons have just started jobs in a family restaurant no doubt similar to the one you worked in, VM. One is in the kitchen and the other front of house. I’ll pass this story on, since this restaurant is known for their ice creams. Not sure they have apple pie, but just in case.

Dzien Dobry (good morning)
I got a couple things today treepers – let it rip!
Like so many of you, here in this country, I have personally seen the effects of the medical profession and BIG PHARMA on my very own friends over this last 2 years.
One of my friends are dying of cancer he just suddenly got after the vaccine and 2 boosters – he is pretty well off and he and his wife got the shots so it would be easier to travel.
Lightning fast, he acquired stage 4 colon and stage 4 pancreas cancer with the cherry on top of appendix cancer (That’s a one in 2 million shot.) He was healthy as a horse before and his family usually lives into their 90’s (His wife was sick for 2 weeks after the shot, fuzzy headed, stomach problems, she is ok now.)
Another friend (He is in construction.) got the clot shot and got the clots. His right let was so swollen he couldn’t work, he is on blood thinners and his lagniappe from the medical professionals who brought us to this place? A Heart operation with 4 bypasses. It seems that the blood just wasn’t flowing.
The recent revelations from just a couple of days ago, proving that hundreds of millions of dollars were directed to agencies and government employees who were supposed to oversee approval for products from the very same BIG PHARMA companies that were paying them off under the table, indicate what anyone with just a cursory interest in the financially beneficial symbiotic relationship between the FDA, the NIH, the WHO and BIG PHARMA probably already knew. There is corruption for profit that is now, obvious, Capital Letter, premeditated, Mens rae, criminal intent murder for money.
The arguments for this “vaccine” as at first a preventative panacea were meretricious at best and as we all now know, as opposed to a palliative, the vaccine is downright pernicious and dangerous.
Here is the information, acquired by way of FOIA.
“According to Open the Books CEO Adam Andrzejewski, Fauci and the others at the NIH haven’t just doled out billions in dollars for research grants over the past few decades. They’ve also, according to Andrzejewski, received hundreds of millions of dollars in cash flowing back toward them from pharmaceutical companies and other interested parties.
We estimate that between fiscal years 2010 and 2020, more than $350 million in royalties were paid by third-parties to the agency and NIH scientists – who are credited as co-inventors.
Because those payments enrich the agency and its scientists, each and every royalty payment could be a potential conflict of interest and needs disclosure.
Recently, our organization at OpenTheBooks.com forced NIH to disclose over 22,100 royalty payments totaling nearly $134 million paid to the agency and nearly 1,700 NIH scientists. These payments occurred during the most recently available period (September 2009 – September 2014).”
(snip)
“We believe there is an unholy conflict of interest inherent at NIH. Consider the fact that each year, NIH doles out $32 billion in grants to approximately 56,000 grantees. Now we know that over an 11-year period, there is going to be approximately $350 million flowing the other way from third-party payers, many of which receive NIH grants, and those payments are flowing back to NIH scientists and leadership.”
Major recipients of this cash? Dr. Fauci, Francis Collins NIH Director and Clifford Lane, Fauci’s Deputy.
Think about it, that is just up to 2014. There are now more requests, no doubt being slow rolled, for the information up to and including the roll out of the “Clot Shot.
I would encourage every American to sit down and plow through Robert Kennedy Jr.’s “The Real Anthony Fauci”.
It is a scathing indictment of BIG PHARMA and the Federal Government’s malfeasance and corruption, which, in my opinion has resulted in a loss of life commonly associated, here in America, with World Wars.
—————————————————————————————–
The long knives are out for Kathy Barnette for one reason and one reason alone. She tells the truth.
Sean Hannity took exception last night and spent most of his hour, paltering towards worn out, hoped for consensus from his worn out disillusioned, long suffering audience.
Hannity’s enfilade last night, directed at Barnette, was also directed at those Americans who might at first, seeing Barnette’s video, would see her comments as common sense. THAT type of thought must be corrected and redirected towards the parameters of what is expected, as assessed as acceptable through the the ever moving Overton Window, that is again, measured by our cable news cognoscenti.
Barnette called out the Muslim “mindset” in no uncertain terms.
Hannity and others, are pillorying Barnette’s comments on Islam, which they say, are outside of what is now acceptable in the new woke American zeitgeist.
What is real and what is not?
There are no Baptist churches in Riyadh.
There are no Catholic cathedrals in Iran.
We live our lives, “in general”. In general, we wear heavy clothing in the winter when it is cold. Sure, there are days when we can picnic in January, but, “in general” you had better have your winter coat on when you go outside. Every now and then, it snows in late May.
Barnette thinks the Muslim “mind set” in general, is different, the culture is different and their view on the world is seen through the prism of the Koran. She is absolutely, categorically, metaphysically correct. Muslims in the Middle East are tossing gay people off of buildings as I type. Christians are persecuted, enslaved and murdered there everyday.
We Americans are incessantly and constantly under attack from irredentist cultural imperialists/immigrants from countries that hate our guts and upon arrival here, in the U.S. expect us to conform to (Especially when it comes to Islam.) anachronistic cultural norms that are antithetical to our culture, our Judeo/Christian ethos and the Constitution.
Barnette, no doubt, sees the disaster in Sweden and all over Europe where beach heads/”No Go Zones” no different than the ones established June 6th 1944 in Europe, are now in place where the rule of law, is no longer Occidental, but in fact, Sharia.
The short term benefit from the lies, legerdemain, deception and calumny directed at Barnette, will result in the election of Dr. Oz. This will not only not change a thing, it will give impetus to the RINO Uni-Party snakes that, supported by shills like Hannity which elevate liars and phonies like Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney to high station, where, you will meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Vote for Kathy Barnette!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Eats on the cheap… The spouse is making this today. She adds green pepper, nixes the Ritz and uses bread crumbs. Today having scored a deal on real bacon bits… she’s topping the casserole with them. When you’re tired of cole slaw or have leftover cabbage this is a good side dish.
As things tighten up, sure would mind a nutritionally dense recipe or two in the thread.

I’m trying this!! Yummy!
Try the Irish dish Colkannon, which is mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage and LOTS of butter.
In Britain there is Bubble and Squeak where left over mashed potatoes and cabbage are mixed and fried. Both yummy and which recipes are easily found on the internet.
And as an aside, when we were in Wales, a sheep farmer neighbour’s daughter came to our door one day followed by two young cats. She wanted to know if they were ours, as we were known to have given homes to quite a few. They were not, but while she was asking, these two impertinent moggies (as the Brits call cats), walked right in and made themselves right at home. Of course we kept them.
We named them Bubble and Squeak.
Will do about the Colkannon or Bubble & Squeak. She’s doing a whole bunch of fritter experiments here lately too. Found a lot of different types to make a side for leftover odd things.
We’re really feeling a pinch this month so ideas are welcome.
Here’s a site about fritters: 19 Easy and Delicious Recipes for Fritters – One Green Planet
Thank you for sharing your feline rescue story Ms. Betsy.
I misspelled Colcannon, GGGG….One silver lining f all these shortages I suspect is that it hopefully will makes us less wasteful. Collect those leftovers, if any, and do something splendid with them. Thank you for that link!💓
Sounds delicious!
Will change up some of the ingredients due to food allergies, that said, it’s basically a safe recipe for me to have and I always appreciate good new ideas for my restrictive diet.
So for me it will look like cabbage, butter, onions, green pepper, bacon, organic mushroom soup, and cheddar cheese.
Basically the only things I’ll avoid are the mayo and crackers/bread. If I really wanted, there’s one place that sells a brand of whole wheat bread I can actually eat that doesn’t contain soybean oil in the dough. Mayo also normally contains soybean oil … so unless I remember what the one brand is that doesn’t contain soy, I also just avoid it. Anyways, the recipe overall looks really good and I can’t wait to try it, so thanks for posting! 🙂
She used sour cream this time instead of mayo.
Sounds good, thanks for the tip!
I bet Panko bread crumbs would serve as an excellent replacement for those crackers if you can tolerate them.
(Autocorrect put “Panko bread drugs”. Don’t use those!!)
Panko would take some research into which brands would be the least processed and contain safe ingredients. Sounds intriguing, thanks!
Most welcome. 👍
Hi Phoenix! Just a FYI, have you tried perusing the vitacost dot com site? I found it easier to understand which types of products I can use with my special diet. You can select all that bother you and avoid making some mistakes. Then I shop else, when needed. 😉
Hope you like it Phoenix.
Here me out… Do we have a way to put some serious SAND in the machine?

I claim single and 0, so I never have to owe taxes. Always get a refund, of course, as I am giving an interest-free loan to the government throughout the year.
However, we have a GOVERNMENT ENGINE IN OVERSPEED and we need to REMOVE THE FUEL.
What if… those of us who do like I do, claim “EXEMPT” on our tax withholdings on our W-4’s and refuse to pay our tax to the government until the very last minute at tax filing season??? Many payroll departments can split a paycheck into multiple account deposits, meaning take the rate of the federal withholdings and have that amount go towards a direct deposit into a savings account, so you are not tempted to spend it. Then, keep your regular earnings going into your spending account.
At the end of the year, we do our taxes and if we don’t owe anything… then awesome! We will have kept the free loan we give the government paycheck to paycheck in our OWN pockets and we slowly and methodically pull away funding from the Federal government.
Could this work to get a point made to our elected (non)representatives?
There’s a lot of honest wage earners out here. Can we make STAND together? Peaceful protest anyone?

A person making $50k roughly about $109/week in Fed Income Tax * 52 Weeks = $5,668/year.
How many MAGA voters are there?
That’s a pretty significant message.
The tax withholding you sign is considered a legal document. Changing withholding is a red flag to the IRS and you might come under extra scrutiny. A young agent looking to make his bones might make your life miserable. Just be careful.
My father in law long long ago always said things would change if every taxpayer in the country would just refuse to pay taxes. Every single one.
That it would be possible is of course wishful thinking. But the impact would be overwhelming. Can you imagine?
I dream of all of us sitting down and saying “no more”.
And I do. Or as a meme I saw put it…
“And then we all said, ‘NO!!!’
The End.”
It’s not illegal to make a change on the document. Happens all the time as peoples’ statuses change. My status as an American citizen has changed. Seems silly to me that egregious activities of our government are overlooked while a simple status change on a w-4 is scrutinized. I didn’t say “not” to pay taxes — I said to delay it as long as possible. Still legal.
There’s allegedly a penalty for under-withholding. If, when you file in April, you owe taxes, there is some $$ threshold beyond which they’ll penalize you. I have owed some prior year tax upon filing in April, once even into the multi-thousands, but never got assessed a penalty. So IDK what the threshold is.
I’m thinking as long as you pay your tax on the filing date, then you are good. You just aren’t paying it ahead of time. Just tired of being a compliant little child while my “representatives” do everything as raging felons and no consequences are they held to! Why am I giving my hard-earned money over to these clowns so they can perpetuate their mischief?
I believe people / businesses are required to either file W4 withholding forms, OR – file quarterly with the IRS. I don’t think anyone is knowingly permitted by the IRS to go an entire year without filing anything.
..and the meek shall inherit the earth
Thedesertreview.com has an article today that states that the Biden administration has proposed rules to the WHO to allow it to order a shut down of the US economy whenever it determines that an international health crisis exists. This is an abdication of sovereignty and a HUGE deal. Few seem to be aware of it. I saw an excerpt from the Steve Bannon podcast where he was interviewing Michelle Bachman. I found the Desert Review article as some confirmation of accuracy. Please see if you can confirm and, if so, spread the word. This is very serious and no one is publicizing it. Election fraud set up???
Praying everyone has a productive and blessed weekend.
Porterhouses with corn on the cob for dinner tonight. The corn was not Indiana corn, but it was good.
Gonna be six weeks or so before we see the first Indiana corn come to the stores.
What a crock of BULL!
Georgia rally shows Pence cutting his own path, regardless of Trump (msn.com)
Cutting “his own path” to where? Gutless scrub jumps in when he is pretty darn sure he is going to be on the winning side. I have no idea where they think he is “cutting” a path to? It sure as hell won’t be the WH!
Judas pence 🙁 🙁 🙁
His Excellency Archbishop Vigano has now spoken about the Roe v Wade decision. This story is now on Gateway pundit with a link to his whole of his remarks.
Thanks Betsy! Will go look.
Methinks Viganò has more faith in Americans standing up against this horror, than I 😔. I pray endlessly to be wrong, Betsy 😢
Hi Cat, I am praying with you. Is kitten still with you? 💜
Hi grandpa 🙋♀️
You will have a kindred spirit while you do the necessary things needed. I’m right along side of you 🥰 keep an eye of the insurance element, if it fits somewhere in your categories. Personally, almost stepped into a pile! 😂
And no kittens here anymore. Will naturally be wistful and missing them so. However, need to focus on accomplishing my duties. It’s all good grandpa ❤️ love you all!!!! 😘
Amen 🙏
Amen
Amen.
Amen!
Amen.
