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 jay and Garrison! Hope them beans aren’t loaded with sugar. I’ll stick to the eggs and bacon, just in case.
Yesterday I decided to skip a day of low carb and had a year’s worth of desserts. 😁
Howdy Gramps no added sugar in the beans just habanero 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Howdy Gramps. Came home yesterday with half a pie’s worth of leftovers . . . happy to say all was consumed last night, along with a cuppa’ Buestelo followed by some good bourbon. Slept like a baby 🙂
Morning, Jay
Hey benzy 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Record albums with pretty girls and electric guitars … yes, please!
Color me entranced at age 12
A year later I had a Sears Silvertone electric guitar and a surf band
Took a little longer for the pretty girls, I was slow
Thanks again, Garrison for bringing classy music to all of us
Thanks benzy. Good sounds are definitely emotionally restoring. 🙂
From tonight’s TownHall site. Edits, mine . . .
London has been run for several years by Sadiq Khan. He has poo-pooed knife violence which wouldn’t you know it somehow is generally associated with Muslim perpetrators. As in Dearborn, Michigan, the growing Muslim majority will take the helm of local councils and later the Parliament.
There will be no revolution, no violent uprising. Rather, it will be massive growth of the incoming Muslim population—paid for by the locals—compared to anemic growth of the citizens. They will take over towns and civic institutions. At that point, it is only a matter of time before they will have their own majorities in critical political bodies like the Parliament.
None of this would matter if the folks involved took upon themselves to be good citizens and subjects of the king. But many have made it clear that their ONLY allegiance is to Sharia Law and have no respect for the local laws, customs or people. I saw during the June war such people enjoying missile hits in Tel Aviv. Like Ilhan Omar, their allegiance is not to the country in which they live but to their religion and possibly to the country that they left.
When England and other countries have Muslim prime ministers, their allegiance will not be to king and crown, but rather to Sharia. One can see it with New York’s new mayor, who does not hide his allegiance to the centrality of Islamic law. When England becomes a part of a larger new caliphate, will the US really want its Trident D5 missiles on British nuclear subs? Will there be any point in still being a part of NATO?
For Israelis, Europe will join Iran and more recently Turkey as countries that must be avoided. The Europeans don’t believe that such a set of events will occur or consider talking about the same as a form of racism. To paraphrase Arnold in Commando, “They’ll kill them [the leaders] last.”
And don’t think that the AfD or Marine LePen or Tommy Robinson will come to the rescue. I admire their love of country and their tireless efforts to save their peoples. But even if they can somehow get elected, the police, military, courts, and EU institutions will make any effort to stop boats and eject people impossible.
Germany wants to throw out 80% of the Syrians who have come during the past few years. The visitors scoffed: we’re not going anywhere. We hate your country but soon it will be ours.
Short of full-fledged revolution against the institutions and the invaders, Europe has no way to go back to the way we always knew it. Kiss England, France, Belgium, Germany, Norway and Holland goodbye. They were quaint. They were lovely. And then they were gone.
Good morning Mr. Hall….love this: “To paraphrase Arnold in Commando, “They’ll kill them [the leaders] last.”
Patriotism and nationalism are no part of Islam – One of the reasons why the attack on “Christian Nationalism.”
Sadly, you are so right, Garrison. And equally sadly anyone who points out what you just did will be labeled an “Islamaphobe” which immediately calls into question every aspect of what was said. They tell us who they are and we refuse to believe them. History teaches us, but only IF we teach people history. Unfortunately, over the past few decades, our education system has been converted into an indoctrination factory. Liberal Arts Colleges train and prepare our future teachers… and indoctrinate them so that they can then do the same to our children. As you said, not a shot will have to be fired… they will simply outnumber the ‘infidels” through immigration and producing large families. They will champion ‘minority rights’ until they are no longer in the minority. Once that is achieved ‘minority rights’ will cease to exist.
I used to have a gal pal from Dearborn…it used to be a lovely place

Merle Haggard was born in Oildale, Ca, a tiny town just across the Kern River from Bakersfield. Oildale was founded after the largest oil desposits in the US were discovered there. It was founded by about 7 large landowners, one of which was my great grandfather, Andrew Ferguson.
Back when Merle was born Oildale was about 2000 to 3000 folks.

Thanks Colkitto, now that we seem to be switching to AI music, there are unlikely to ever be many more… perhaps someday long after I am gone.
I had posted a few weeks ago somewhere, I don’t think it was here but I am rather encouraged that 20-30 something’s are finding and singing songs @ karaoke that are older than they are, so there is some hope.

2020 Fred Singer, Austrian-American physicist and climate change doubter, dies at 95
He helped fight for the truth when it usually meant loss of standing and loss of income/jobs for the Climate Change carbon tax racket.
Climate Change
When I first heard of this (serious) “climate change” my first thought was how many jungle ages have we had / how many glacial ages have we had….? (that we know of) and politicians are going to change this thru “we the public” paying more in taxes? LOL…. yea right.
“We” might be able to lessen pollution that may shorten/extend our lives, but that big glowing ball in the sky puts out at least Trillions of BTU’s per second upon the earth, and it is unlikely for the foreseeable future that “we” could ever do anything to affect this more that about ~.0000001% to start or stop a trend toward either end of the spectrum. JMHO
Trillions might have been a bit short tho:
Brave AI
The total energy falling on Earth from the Sun is approximately 5.56 × 10²⁴ Joules per year, which calculates to roughly 1.76 × 10¹⁷ Joules per second (or 176 petawatts).
This value is derived from the solar constant of 1370 W/m² applied to the cross-sectional area of the Earth (a disk with a radius of 6.37 × 10⁶ m)
To convert this to British Thermal Units (BTUs):
1 Watt = 3.4121 BTU/hour
1 Joule/second (Watt) = 3.4121 BTU/hour
Therefore, the energy falling on the planet is approximately 6.01 × 10¹⁷ BTU per hour, or about 1.67 × 10¹⁴ BTU per second.
sorry could no longer edit…
The heroes are sharing some of their experience. As a note a typical target in Iran is about 1000 miles away and about 2 hours flight each way.

I had totally forgotten about this disaster…’maritime industry vs. rail road industry’…1993….
A little history on Amtrak:
https://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-amtrak-train-railroad-photos-2019-5#the-congressional-rail-passenger-service-act-of-1970-combined-20-of-the-countrys-ailing-passenger-railroads-into-on-privately-controlled-but-government-owned-corporation-1
…”privately-controlled-but-government-owned-corporation”
And that right there is what ails Amtrak. Gov’t subsidized what the market did not demand.
I took an Amtrak once, as I recall it was 99$ at the time for a 1,2 or 3 – zone travel round trip from IND>CA & back.
I liked the travel, great scenery but it took 3 days going west, 2 days back. (comfortable roomy seats that are easily sleep-able. More money can be spent on a cabin/bed.
I do believe air travel was much more expensive in the 80’s than it is now.
At this moment I can get a 140$ RT early AM(frontier no checked luggage) flight from DEN>IND, granted that is a 3 week or so reservation. 2 hours + TSA wait times each way.
Amtrak approx 250$ avg RT (140-600$) & 25 hours one way, it is a 18 hour drive, I’ve done it many times, about 200$ or less worth of gas in an fuel efficient car. 1300 miles from my door to mom’s door…. exactly even which blew my mind when I set the trip odometer that one time.
Get to spend way more time if you only have 1 week of vacation @ your destination, would not be terrible if you have 2 weeks but I only ever got 1 week… was never @ anyplace long enough to get 2 weeks.
Note: you need to time the schedules to go thru areas of interest during daylight to see anything otherwise many of the most scenic places will be in the dark
If you wish to see the country & make Amtrak the vacation, that would be cheap to take the train from coast to coast and back with perhaps a strategic layover somewhere for 24 to 48 hours.
(Amtrak does not do daily service on most E-W routes)
Per TWC, current temps in Tehran are around 52 degrees with partly cloudy skies. TWC shows temps dipping into the 40’s overnight tonight…am wondering if the ‘forecast’ will be re-evaluated tonight?
Happy power plant and bridge eve!
rob, that’s funny!

Verse of the Day for Monday, April 6, 2026
✟
“There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.”
1 Samuel 2:2 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 1 SAMUEL 2:2
Hannah’s song of thanksgiving. (1-10) The wickedness of Eli’s sons, Samuel’s ministry. (11-26) The prophecy against Eli’s family. (27-36)
1-10 Hannah’s heart rejoiced, not in Samuel, but in the Lord. She looks beyond the gift, and praises the Giver. She rejoiced in the salvation of the Lord, and in expectation of His coming, who is the whole salvation of his people. The strong are soon weakened, and the weak are soon strengthened, when God pleases. Are we poor? God made us poor, which is a good reason why we should be content, and make up our minds to our condition. Are we rich? God made us rich, which is a good reason why we should be thankful, and serve him cheerfully, and do good with the abundance he gives us. He respects not man’s wisdom or fancied excellences, but chooses those whom the world accounts foolish, teaching them to feel their guilt, and to value his free and precious salvation. This prophecy looks to the kingdom of Christ, that kingdom of grace, of which Hannah speaks, after having spoken largely of the kingdom of providence. And here is the first time that we meet with the name MESSIAH, or his Anointed. The subjects of Christ’s kingdom will be safe, and the enemies of it will be ruined; for the Anointed, the Lord Christ, is able to save, and to destroy.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.

LOVE IN ACTION
Unexpected kindness touches the heart
A listening ear can yield a fresh start
When in a quandary of the feeling kind
Tis hard to explain what we left behind
Feelings are not facts justified away
Kept hidden from view for another day
Sooner or later they come into the light
Where the future is happier and bright
Where circumstances have mightily changed
And our flawed thinking has been rearranged
Angels surround us of the human kind
That reveal the truth to the human mind
When we speak from the heart no sound returned
We will find what God planned to be learned
We cannot know the perfect mind of God
We can only concur it is to be awed
His ways are not our ways nor ever will be
And His thoughts not what we can foresee
Where there seems to be no possible way
His love in action brings a brighter day
The sadness and loneliness is lifted
With a new sense of purpose we are gifted
Happiness returns and we’re flying high
To hopeless heartache the end draws nigh
God knows the beginning and the end
He knows recesses of the heart bend
When healing occurs and we are set free
The promise of tomorrow comes to be

I had the misfortune over the weekend to come across a couple of articles about the leftist shrew that Gavin Newsome is married to. The political universe is chock full of horrible human beings, but this harpie is right there with the worst of them.
What caught my attention was the fact that she has four children-two boys and two girls. She took her children on a “wild conservative safari” in the South so that her children could see first hand all of the supposed misogyny and racism of “The Other.”
She has spoken of how she forced her boys to play with dolls in an effort to combat their “toxic masculinity.”
She has also spoken of how, when she read stories to her children, she would change the male characters to female-again, because “toxic masculinity.”
My purpose here is not to heap scorn on her. She will be judged by the Almighty Judge at a time of His choosing.
My purpose is to ask for prayers for her children. These young ones didn’t choose to be abused by such a hateful lunatic. Please pray for their eternal souls, and for their wellbeing in this life.

31 Biblical Foods That Actually Heal Your Body – Organized by What Your Body Needs
I heard a profound interview the other day, an exorcist, from Nashville, and Tucker…I try to keep my distance as to not open any portals. I do know Our Lady keeps me safe, she has proven that to me, many, many times. That said…
It is one aspect of the evils we face today…
I have seen some of Fr. Chad Rippeger’s videos and interviews…the most profound was an interview with Tucker and I don’t like Tucker…but…re. politicians, our politicians in Washington DC and although not stated, I would think local pols too…the parts that I viewed…Fr. discussed that the globalism, socialism is a pus towards preparing the world for the anti-christ where the world is going to ‘worship’ him…as he prepares the world for Revelation.
As we contemplate the evils brought about to our country…i personally cannot find a justification to say that the man is wrong as politicians push to allow laws to play God.
1:32, to about 3:03 “Treason thru Ambition”…
At 3:14 re Congress…”has a higher incidence of diseased personal lives than the American population…”
6:20–Communism and diabolic psychology are identical
If your faith is strong and you are ‘right’ with Jesus…is worth the listen…this clip is part of a longer interview…
I present this in the idea of it being “information”….
God bless America.
The Recording of a Miracle.
Power: 34,000 Trillion Watts of Energy.
Speed: 1/40 of a Billionth of a Second.
Depth: of penetration of an image, left on fabric, struck by the flash of radiation. 2 to 3 Microns.
What is this information telling us?’
https://www.newgeology.us/presentation24.html
Why does the image look like that of a Germanic tribesman? Maybe a Frank?
Why is the front image a significantly different length from the back image?
Mathew, Mark and Luke all describe Jesus as wrapped in the cloth. They also describe a huge amount of material in the wrapping.
https://www.esv.org/John+19:38%E2%80%9342;Matthew+27:57%E2%80%9361;Mark+15:42%E2%80%9347;Luke+23:50%E2%80%9356/
John describes Jesus as bound in the cloth. It also describes Lazarus as being so tightly bound when he was resurrected, that he needed help getting out.
The women who discovered the empty tomb were going to finish the anointing and such, so I could see that the early job was rushed and left loosely undone so that it could be finished later.
The Shroud image could be considered very loosely wrapped, but not bound. But there are many ways to wrap.
John describes the face cloth being found separate from the linen.
There are all sorts of conflicting claims. Especially when people start claiming the image can’t penetrate the linen fibers. People even claim seeing coins on the image eyes. Goes through coins. Goes through face cloth. But can’t go through linen thread. There are claims of the facecloth having an image too.
My biggest issue is that there is nothing about relic worship in the Bible. If these relics were so important, they would have been mentioned. And we’d have records of how they were preserved. How they were taken out of Jerusalem before the Romans burned it down. They would be all over the writings of the early church fathers.
Instead it takes Constantine to send his mom to declare things as relics. Like the true cross. I don’t think she found the shroud.
We really can’t trust people who try to prove or disprove these relics. And our faith should always be in Christ, not in some relic.

Sit Rep-Today was a very good day, I spent all morning with my case worker going over paperwork and discussing my options with him at a veterans advocates organization called Endeavors. I have applied for SNAP, housing and employment assistance through them, he has been doing this for six years and knows all the ins and outs of the programs. I have been told I can start looking for housing with a budget of $1000/ month and a list of five landlords that he has worked with in the past. After lunch at the shelter I went to the VA clinic near by and re-enrolled in VA medical, I will go in the morning for blood work and standard labs and afterwards will talk to someone there about vocational rehabilitation with the intent of working at the VA (Thank you American Bulldog for the tip🙏🏻). At 1300 hrs I have an appointment with Department of Public Safety to apply for my State ID, I believe I have all the necessary paperwork (certified birth certificate, DD-214 and a referral from my case worker for residencey requirement).
On Wendsday I will meet my primary physician at 1100 hrs and discuss the medical needs I have developed over the last several years, I am very surprised at how fast that has happened. In my prior experience with the VA it took me weeks or months to be assigned to see my primary, things here in McAllen have been amazing since being brought here by the police, everything is progressing quickly and everyone I have met has been extremely helpful.
This morning on the way to Endeavors I was able to make contact with the police officer who brought me to the shelter, thank him and gave him a small token of my appreciation. When I crossed the border last Thursday I had just 20 pesos left in my pocket, I had to pay 5 pesos to walk across the bridge to the US. Over the weekend I polished up the 10 peso coin that was given to me for change, had a padre at a local Catholic church bless it for me explaining that it was for protection of a police officer who was very dear to me, gave it to him and I plan on keeping the 5 pesos coin as a momento for me. His name is officer D. Chapa a 23 year veteran of the McAllen police department and I would ask that you would include him in your prayers this evening, he is a very good man. When I was unable to pawn my last knife for food and water I went to a Fire Station and asked for water and for help to get to the VA. Unable to assist me they called the police and officer Chapa was the one who recognized my need and after talking to his Chief was able to bring me to the Salvation Army but not before buying me a Whopper combo meal. His last words when parting was “We met for a reason” and this morning I was able to tell him that because of how he handled my personal crisis he started me on the right path.
The job market is thin here but I have seen many rundown houses here that could be flipped, witch is something I could do, giving me a place to stay and allowing me to make some money. I am seriously considering using my VHA home loan benefits that I signed up for over 38 years ago and never used to purchase my first home here once I am established.
Thank you once again for everyone’s love, support and prayers. DG 🖖🏻
Good for you. Be well, friend. 🙂
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
