It amazes me how weak the mainstream media is at connecting dots. Well, that is, until I remind myself they carry so much water for this administration they dispatch news stories quickly and do not ponder. What we do not discuss – we do not connect.
The embassies are closed. People are asking what is the risk? Who is the risk?
Do you really want to know? Really?
It ain’t tough to figure out. You just have to learn a new set of constants. (more…)
Meanwhile the man who organized the hoax has a full time TV show on MSNBC and continues his race-baiting enterprises……Go look up the entire story of *how* Tawana Brawley was handled, and you’ll see how eerily similar it is to Rachel Jeantel…. New York Post – Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.
Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.
A Virginia court this year ordered the money garnisheed from six months of Brawley’s wages as a nurse there.
She still owes Pagones $431,000 in damages. And she remains defiantly unapologetic.
“It’s a long time coming,” said Pagones, 52, who to this day is more interested in extracting a confession from Brawley than cash. (more…)
These weekly MBOBs are snapshots from the back roads of my memories. Mailboxes along the roads and old barns set back in fields overgrown with weeds often served as landmarks that told us where we were and how far we had to go in the prairie country where I grew up in northeastern Montana. Sometimes they signaled “home” and the end of the road. At other times, barely visible through swirling snow they told us we had miles to go. When I started compiling these word pictures I realized they were like those mailboxes and old barns—still identifying important places along the road, still signaling where I am and how far I have to go.
This particular MBOB is the first of its kind. Last winter, Cyrano left a comment on an MBOB indicating that he was working on plans for an extensive trip that he and his wife hoped to take through The Great West of the United States.
They did it!
He shared his plan in January, “I’m sure my wife will love it! Hee hee. I’ll just tell her ‘I’m taking you to see Mt Rushmore, my Darling.’ Via Oregon, Idaho, and Montana…” Well, they got it done, and are still getting it done as you read here. And yes, they’ve seen Mt. Rushmore, along with a dozen other places, and then pushed on through North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho into Oregon.
A few days ago, my husband and I had the best time time getting acquainted with these friends. We had a long visit over dinner, and a long, long visit over photos we both had at the ready – his treasure trove including the one below which was just taken on July 25. Cyrano’s Photo of Ebenezer Lutheran Church, my childhood church Cyrano had mentioned in the planning stages that “It’s vast out here in the west” and they surely have the proof of that in their photos and in their memories. We had a deep-down good time with them at Shari’s where the loaded potato soup is just fine. The hours flew by as we supervised the shift change and eventually parted as old friends. (more…)
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 †
As you read this, or anything similar, remember this: The US-FDA and USDA, along with the US-CDC have comprehensive state of the art bio-genetic research technology which can trace the genetic makeup, the actual DNA strain, of a potato, to the field where it was grown. If it were a large field, they can even narrow it to the GPS level mapping coordinates within the field itself….. and this can all be accomplished on mobile research platforms. I gave instruction within a bio-genetic lab (in another venue) 30 years ago where the origin for this process was created. Their genetic tracing capability is far beyond the human genome project. This is real science. Practical, applicable, provable and certain science. MEXICO – The Food and Drug Administration says an outbreak of stomach illnesses in Iowa and Nebraska is linked to salad mix served at local Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants and supplied by a Mexican farm.
The outbreak of cyclospora infections has sickened more than 400 people in 16 states in all. The agency says it is still working to determine whether the salad mix is the source of illnesses in the other 14 states. (more…)
Police in Gulfport have requested a local DA to file a charge against a bus driver for failing to be George Zimmerman. Well, kinda… watch the video and you’ll see the issue:
What is really at play here is *why* the bus driver did not engage to assist. However, against the demands of the Natalie Jackson types for young black males to be left alone to roam at will and never challenged, he was, and is, between a racial rock, and a racist hard place.
One can only imagine how the BGI and NAACP would approach the driver if he did step forth to defend the white student from the mob beating. [Think, “he shoulda stayed in his car seat] After all, according to the Sharpton, Jackson and Jealous contingent, this beatdown could not be considered racist because the victim was white.
Here’s more (more…)

It is difficult to feel welcome here as a black woman when blanket statements are tossed at will.
Many of “us” agree with much of what “you” say, but when blanket statements about our race are thrown, a) one automatically weakens their argument and b) it makes “us” who tend to agree, cringe or shy away. (shrugs)
There is a bigger “there” within that comment, which deserves expansion – and perhaps a greater understanding.
In the field of ideas, conservative patriots can dress down the racists with quick dispatch. Why? Because the conservatives view people as individuals and not attached to collectives. However, yes here comes the “but”,…. when the individual does not draw down their own collective – the battle of ideas is necessarily broad-stroked.
Here’s what I mean using examples. (more…)
