Good article at American Thinker – with one flaw. The last line.
Learning from Rachel Jeantel – To quote Nancy Pelosi, we can now see what’s in the Zimmerman-Martin case “without the fog of the controversy”. I think the biggest lesson to be learned was from Rachel Jeantel, a friend of Trayvon Martin that testified at the trial.

Rachel Jeantel has just had her 15 minutes. Predictable packaged responses full of defensive fury were covered very well by Thomas Lifson’s AT article. The left has exhausted her value by attacking and chiding all white people about the racist thoughts they have decided we are feeling. They skipped the fact-gathering and evidence stage and went right for the punishment in a fawning and self-righteous defense of someone not really under attack. I have to hand it to libs, they stand by their own and as long as anyone remembers the girl’s name, she will be one of their own. Their message regarding Ms. Jeantel is: (more…)

Some wonder if I have lost my marbles.   Perhaps, but it is the same set of marbles I have been chasing since the formal age of eight.   Without any formal training; well, sort of.
You see, around eight I wrote about whistling.
Whistling, the noise you make when you blow energy from your lungs through pursed tongue.
The energy you release is infinite.
Meaning you create it, you have made it, you have transferred your own capacity to make energy into an active state, projected it, and it is ridiculous to think it just disappears once you can no longer hear it……  it still exists, because you created it, you just can no longer identify it, locate it, or reasonably quantify it.
But the energy itself must still exist.   Somewhere.  There is no anti-energy void around us to take it. (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 †

Part One:

The capacity to speak French is not unusual for a 3 year old;  Unless you realize the child is not living in France, and does not have French family, then it becomes odd.  Or something.  Leads to big chairs and stares by bigger people toward little people.
The truth of language is as obvious as Cain having married his sister.   Damn, Phoenicians.

If you want to find a belief, it is best not to talk to a priest;  Because somewhere along the voyage of his questioning – he encountered Theology teachers.   The questioning necessarily stopped.   Just ask, you’ll see….   The questioning always stops. (more…)

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.
