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 †

Wow, benzy, if that don’t put the be-bop in yo do-wop, nuthin’ will!
Is that AOC in disguise?!
Too intelligent to be AOC!
“A Whiter Shade of Pale.”
thx, lindak
I’ll see your Whiter Shade and raise you a Homburg, live with orchestra, in an arrangement from an album titled The Orchestral Procol Harum, or something like that (which I have but can’t lay hands on just now)
Gary’s in pretty good voice for so late in his career
and it autoplays into Salty Dog, as an extra treat
… all from the same concert as yours, it appears
Thx!
and thanks to you!
I’m a stone Procol Harum fan, had all their albums and loved Robin Trower before he was Robin Trower. In his playing with Procol before his solo career, he had been progressively developing and extending his style of blues phrasing on Gretsch and Gibson guitars and had developed some characteristic slides that made him sound like no one else. Then he went Stratocaster and lost some of that as he added more of Hendrix’s stylings.
Trower was pretty fully formed even on Procol’s first album, listen to the burly middle solo on Cerdes

So good!

Magic, Hayden Panettiere has died.
She was only 36.
I remember her as the football loving coach’s kid in one of my favorite movies, ‘Remember the Titans’.
Seems she struggled with alcohol and drugs. Did not mention any cause of death yet.
No, Jake. Said a friend found her unconscious and emts could not revive her.
He brother died from an undiagnosed congenital heart defect.
Yes I saw, her brother Jansen died back in 23 from a “heart condition”, he was 28.
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1429242
And she struggled with depression. And she was warned 6 years ago that if she didn’t stop with the drugs and alchohol her heart would go in 5 years.
Really sad. So much promise. So much lost to addiction. Even her little girl lives with the girl’s father.
No sign of foul play. I don’t relish the job of trying to sort that out.
So many in our country make idols of celebrities.
It seems very few that are in that group realize it and get out of that trap.
Pray to God for their souls.
Added, repeat tomorrow.

💕 💕 Miss Bailey!
Notice the Mickey Mouse watch.
From the ‘American Spectator’ site. Edits mine.
On Monday, June 8, a Sudanese “asylum” seeker attacked a local man on the street with a kitchen knife, slashing him across the face and neck. Graphic video of the attack, which blinded the victim in one eye, rapidly spread online. The suspect, identified as Hadi Alodid, has been charged with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place, and making threats to kill.
In response, Belfast erupted.
Rioters took to the streets, hurling bricks and bottles at police, torching vehicles, and burning homes in some Belfast neighborhoods with large migrant populations. Police deployed water cannons. Families were forced to flee burning buildings. The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service responded to 62 incidents in a single night. At least 27 people have been left homeless.
Lest there be any doubt: Arson, mob violence, and the burning of innocent people’s homes are all indefensible acts. Mobocracy is here, there, and everywhere the enemy of civilization. The masked men who burned out their neighbors for no reason disgraced themselves and their cause.
But that hopefully obvious point aside, here is the question the Western press refuses to ask: Why does this keep happening?
Because it does keep happening. Almost exactly a year ago, Northern Ireland convulsed in riots after two Romanian teenagers were charged with the attempted rape of a schoolgirl in Ballymena. The year before that, riots swept across England itself — Southport, Rotherham, town after town — following a mass stabbing at a girls’ dance class by a Muslim terrorist.
The pattern is not difficult to discern. A horrific crime, or series of crimes, is committed. The perpetrator is a migrant, often some variety of “asylum” seeker. The government responds by condemning the violence of an enraged public while studiously avoiding any reckoning with the underlying policies that generated the crime and the inevitable subsequent rage. The Pravda press dutifully follows the official, regime-approved script.
No one in the current British or Irish political leadership has earnestly asked whether a government that imports the whole world, with inadequate vetting and nonexistent assimilation, bears some meaningful share of the culpability for the social fractures now detonating like dynamite all across the British Isles. Why bother with any introspection? Far easier to just blame the “fascist” street thug menace.
As for the regime media: It’s not that the press fails to condemn mob violence. On the contrary, it condemns it loudly and with great self-satisfaction. The press’s failure is more insidious: It’s the deliberate suppression of honest inquiry into cause and effect. It’s the refusal to consider why working-class people across Britain and Ireland are at a boiling point.
The question goes unasked, the fateful underlying policies go unexamined, and the pressure cooker keeps building
The relevant facts are not in dispute. The United Kingdom has presided over one of the largest and least-managed immigration expansions — and, specifically, Muslim population expansions — in modern Western history. Applications for asylum, legitimate or not, have surged. Vetting has been porous.
Integration has been an afterthought. And communities that were never consulted have borne the consequences most acutely. They have been told, repeatedly, that their discomfort reflects moral failure on their part rather than policy failure on the government’s part.
At some point, the people who actually live with the consequences of the elite’s destructive policies cease asking permission to be heard. The answer is not to excuse violence but to take the underlying grievances seriously before the violence erupts in the first place.
Starmer does not want to have that conversation. The BBC does not want to have that conversation. The New York Times most certainly does not want to have that conversation.
But Belfast is having it — and it’s ugly.
IQ or waist measurment?
😎
Jake, did you watch the International Corgi Races in Lithuania?
No saw them on the news though, corgis are hilarious. My last Brit was a speedster, probably could have outrun a greyhound, but in a fenced in area he could never figure out how a corgi would always cut him off at the pass.
Yep, the Corgi Cut is a well known herding maneuver!
No age.
I’m a guy so not waist measurement. I’ve always been a bit skinny. In my thirties I started lifting weights to get to 180, and had a body mass index of about 6% range, (70 now with osteoarthritis so not quite that low anymore).
IQ quite a bit above average but no genius.
Inches or cm?
Jim, I don’t know no stinking cm.
I did know a C.M.
He was a party animal! 😉
Inches. Are centimeters those insects with a a lot of legs?

Verse of the Day for Monday, August 17, 2026
✟
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 2 CORINTHIANS 12
The apostle’s revelations. (1-6) Which were improved to his spiritual advantage. (7-10) The signs of an apostle were in him, His purpose of making them a visit; but he expresses his fear lest he should have to be severe with some. (11-21)
1-6 There can be no doubt the apostle speaks of himself. Whether heavenly things were brought down to him, while his body was in a trance, as in the case of ancient prophets; or whether his soul was dislodged from the body for a time, and taken up into heaven, or whether he was taken up, body and soul together, he knew not. We are not capable, nor is it fit we should yet know, the particulars of that glorious place and state. He did not attempt to publish to the world what he had heard there, but he set forth the doctrine of Christ. On that foundation the church is built, and on that we must build our faith and hope. And while this teaches us to enlarge our expectations of the glory that shall be revealed, it should render us contented with the usual methods of learning the truth and will of God.
7-10 The apostle gives an account of the method God took to keep him humble, and to prevent his being lifted up above measure, on account of the visions and revelations he had. We are not told what this thorn in the flesh was, whether some great trouble, or some great temptation. But God often brings this good out of evil, that the reproaches of our enemies help to hide pride from us. If God loves us, he will keep us from being exalted above measure; and spiritual burdens are ordered to cure spiritual pride. This thorn in the flesh is said to be a messenger of Satan which he sent for evil; but God designed it, and overruled it for good. Prayer is a salve for every sore, a remedy for every malady; and when we are afflicted with thorns in the flesh, we should give ourselves to prayer. If an answer be not given to the first prayer, nor to the second, we are to continue praying. Troubles are sent to teach us to pray; and are continued, to teach us to continue instant in prayer. Though God accepts the prayer of faith, yet he does not always give what is asked for: as he sometimes grants in wrath, so he sometimes denies in love. When God does not take away our troubles and temptations, yet, if he gives grace enough for us, we have no reason to complain. Grace signifies the good-will of God towards us, and that is enough to enlighten and enliven us, sufficient to strengthen and comfort in all afflictions and distresses. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Thus his grace is manifested and magnified. When we are weak in ourselves, then we are strong in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; when we feel that we are weak in ourselves, then we go to Christ, receive strength from him, and enjoy most the supplies of Divine strength and grace.
11-21 We owe it to good men, to stand up in the defence of their reputation; and we are under special obligations to those from whom we have received benefit, especially spiritual benefit, to own them as instruments in God’s hand of good to us. Here is an account of the apostle’s behaviour and kind intentions; in which see the character of a faithful minister of the gospel. This was his great aim and design, to do good. Here are noticed several sins commonly found among professors of religion. Falls and misdeeds are humbling to a minister; and God sometimes takes this way to humble those who might be tempted to be lifted up. These vast verses show to what excesses the false teachers had drawn aside their deluded followers. How grievous it is that such evils should be found among professors of the gospel! Yet thus it is, and has been too often, and it was so even in the days of the apostles.
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.

AFTER THE TRIAL
Why feel abandoned in your hour of need
What is impeding the process to proceed
Where the prayer warriors intercede
When it will be God’s timing to succeed
You ponder it all while waiting in the wings
Platitudes and promises other things
The schedules and preparation settings
Required readiness positioning
The frustration lies in lack of control
The encouragement fails to console
The emptiness like an open pothole
The endless wait to fill in the blackhole
Unalone in this cancerous concoction
Your Lady shares curious convection
With hopes and dreams your private projection
Under God’s wings and Angel protection
Seems to be there is a progression
A procedure to elicit regression
A series of steps to silence succession
To deter demonic cell aggression
If that does not work a new plan devised
Given the options the patient advised
One must give up something comprised
To acquire a new configuration revised
We know God works all things for our good
And only He knows what is under the hood
So if you are wondering whatever you would
That after the trial come blessings that should

You were unmindful of the Rock that begot you,
you forgot the God who gave you birth.
When the Lord saw this, he was filled with loathing
and anger toward his sons and daughters.
You have forgotten God who gave you birth.
“I will hide my face from them,” he said,
“and see what will then become of them.
What a fickle race they are,
sons with no loyalty in them!”
You have forgotten God who gave you birth.
“Since they have provoked me with their ‘no-god’
and angered me with their vain idols,
I will provoke them with a ‘no-people’;
with a foolish nation I will anger them.”
You have forgotten God who gave you birth.

Matthew 19:16-22
☘️
A young man approached Jesus and said, “Teacher, what good must I do to gain eternal life?” He answered him, “Why do you ask me about the good? There is only One who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” He asked him, “Which ones?” And Jesus replied, “You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; honor your father and your mother; and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The young man said to him, “All of these I have observed. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” When the young man heard this statement, he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

THIS DATE KEEPS APPEARING… What Happens August 24, 2026?!
Hayden Panettiere revealing interview….
Sad story…too often repeated among youth stars.
The overwhelming pain was too much for her. I knew she was troubled, but did not think it would lead to this.
I’m angry with the people around her. Nice job everyone. Feeding off her like the leeches you are.
Ok. I didn’t know anything about her personal life except the sad stuff (boyfriend abuse, drugs) the press is reporting, and I always take those reports with more than a few grains of salt until there is corroboration from trusted (??) source(s)…
It hurt her. She felt like she wasn’t being real. That causes horrible pain.
There are many other issues too. It all adds up and this is what can happen. Very sorry.
The US set up an American security summit and Canada was NOT invited. Now what does that tell you?
Maybe I’m wrong, but my take on this is that the US government thinks Canada is so deep in China’s pocket that they would be a security risk.
Yes, it’s not much of a mystery why PDJT has been fairly dismissive of Canada as any legitimate political power with which to reckon or negotiate, and has been increasingly tough on them with respect to trade. Sundance has previously pretty much described the Canadian government’s duplicitous stances on US trade versus trade with the PRC….
They haven’t got much military to exercise with even if that weren’t the case.

Good warning.
Our threat level should be highest ever.
