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 †

Typhoon Mawar will almost certainly take a right turn heading north as it weakens and will not hit the Philippines or Formosa or any significant landmass as a Typhoon. Despite the hype it was a CAT II, which means it was not even a major when it hit Guam and not nearly as powerful as several storms that have hit that island. But the last several Typhoon seasons have been a bust and so the press made a big deal about it and as usual lied by omission of the historical facts that would provide the proper prospective.
Top wind speed recorded on Guam was 105 mph before the anemometer failed but the pressure never dropped lower after that 105 mph windspeed was recorded. It was not until it was past Guam and in open water that it strengthened into the CAT V it was yesterday.
The propaganda press is harping about a “heat wave” hitting the UK but the top temp recorded so far is 21 C (69.8 deg F). Laughable BS! And the weather pattern according to the European weather models indicates it is not going to warm up much beyond that and that June will be cooler than normal there.
Arctic Sea Ice extent is above the 10 year mean and in fact right at where it was when Al Gore first declared it would be gone by the summer! And Greenland has had some colder than average temps for this time of year, though you wouldn’t know that if you read some of the BS about Greenland Ice Sheet melting in the press these days.
Bottom line there is nothing significantly different in the weather anywhere on this earth that supports the “climate crisis” BS they continually pump out. And that includes their hyping of drought and wildfires.
Sunday afternoon somewhere…
I can relate ..😂😂👍nap time..🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍

If one happens to visit a cemetery this Memorial Day weekend one might come across some coins on certain headstones. While flags may adorn the sites of many veterans, one can discern from dates of death and from left coins who gave the last full measure of devotion to the Republic.
As example, my father’s service was noted on his headstone so he often got a flag but he was a veteran and war survivor, not a fallen warrior. We render honors to those fallen and thank them for their devotion to the Republic.
Thank you, Dunes, so very much. A tradition which few (who never served)are aware of.
Thank you, Dunes. Just read it to my bride who didn’t know about the coins, either. Her brother was killed in Nam in 69.
G, this is something I didn’t know until I was well into my 40’s. And it was something I didn’t learn in this country either.
I imagine Memorial Days in your house are ones of quiet reflection and remembrance….🙏🏻
Thank you. I had never heard of this. Despite 6 vets in my immediate family (5 now deceased).
The first mansion is located in Martha’s Vineyard, the second one is in Hawaii, which one of these mansions belong to the Oppressed black American named Barrack Obama?
both. no matter what he has he will always be a half white bastard
who was born in Kenya.
More activities that show how crooked desantis is….
The neverbackdown super pac appears to have been involved in creating a separate super pac called Draft DeSantis 2024 Fund, which collected donations to be released to desantis after he actually announced his campaign launch. This would appear to be illegal under mccain-feingold, being soft money being used to fund desantis after he declared for a federal office. The campaign appears to be hoping the FEC deadlocks along party lines, as in the prior byron donalds case, and let’s desantis get away with it.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ron-desantis-campaign-super-pac-never-back-down-money-fundraising/
The second thing is a senior advisor to desantis, phil cox, has either been fired, or left, the desantis campaign. Cox, who has a long political career and was a former executive director of the republican governors association, is likely the rino connection for desantis.
What cox has said about the matter is ‘I’m an unpaid, volunteer adviser to Never Back Down and proud to support Governor DeSantis,’ Cox reaffirmed in a statement to ABC News on Thursday.
It’s interesting he claims to be an unpaid volunteer advisor to the neverbackdown super pac with his history, and he also would have known and been involved in the decisions to try to evade FEC regulations and mccain-feingold.

Sorry to move things to a more serious note.
This actually should be posted in the Daily Presidential Politics Thread, or under Sundance’s latest articke re. DeSantis because it would then get seen by more eyes

I’ll try, Inca…
But if you go back to yesterday’s thread and scroll way down, you’ll see it. It really was something.
Waistcoat, crisp white shirt, cufflinks, pocket square, some extremely spiffy shoes. Understated yet elegant. Just what a father of the bride should wear.
He posted this on Friday, not yesterday, as I mistakenly said…
Inca,
It’s on Friday’s open thread.. Blue suit 💙 white shirt & tie, brown leather shoes and clutch.
Stylin’ as I said !

Thanks! I’ll try to find it 🥰
I’ve posted it, Inca. Look back up this thread.
I bet he was the sharpest looking guy there. And certainly the proudest😊
💙 Women love a sharp dressed man ! 💕 😍 💙

How right you are, DG. And I am one of them.
My Brit husband wore a full dress kilt for our daughter’s wedding, getting her permission first. She approved😊
Amen goes right there, DG!!! ❤️

COUNTING BLESSINGS
When we awaken in the morning…
We are blessed
Trials of yesterday’s forewarning…
We’re less stressed
If we count the many blessings…
That are right before our eyes
We can thank God for the pressings
His little blessings in disguise
For what today are you thankful
For the sunrise over the trees
For all your friends by the tankful
For the lushness of the leaves
For the flowers in the garden
All blooming fresh and new
For the blessing of the pardon
Forgiveness to renew
As our eyes take in the wonder
Of our Creator’s Mighty Hand
Have we taken time to ponder
The beauty He had planned
The order of Creation
Is no magical decree
It is His mighty magnificence
For all to enjoy and see
Look to your family – another gift
Where two hearts are enjoined as one
His love spread far and wide and swift
To learn and laugh – and just have fun
We thank You Father – for so many gifts
For all that You have done
Even for the twists and turns and shifts
We know that we have won
If we’ve been remiss in our thinking
You are there to save the day
We might feel at times we are sinking
But You – Lord – have found a way
So many times – we get discouraged
We want to give up and give in
You send Your Angels – we’re encouraged
By Your Spirit that lives within
Lord – will you please forgive us
If we forget the blessings you pour
Doubt and fear will misgive us
As they suddenly come to the fore
We are human and prone to mistake
To quandaries and confusion
We need Your Spirit our souls retake
Dispel all the foolish delusion
We will remember our blessings to count
As we awaken from sleep each day
For we will meet You someday at the mount
And You will ask us – what will we say
Will we tell Him our first thought was good
Will we let Him know we are most grateful
When we arose from our bed and stood
For the blessings we have by the crateful!
D01: 07/02/2019
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
