Monday Open Thread

This week, thousands of taxpayer-funded K-12 school librarians across the state gathered in Fort Worth at a conference that celebrated hazardous sexual behaviors and defended offering sexually explicit books to students.

The Texas Library Association’s annual conference this week hosted a variety of eyebrow-raising activities, with featured speakers such as Dr. Ibram X. Kendi (an apologist for the hotly contentious critical race theory ideology), as well as adult entertainers Justin Johnson and Joseph Hoselton. Johnson and Hoselton headlined TLA’s “After Hours Keynote” and “Drag Queen Story Hour” events.

“WE LOVE @AlyssaEdwards_1 at @TXLA!!! #TexasQueen #TxLA22,” tweeted public elementary school librarian Carolyn Slavin.

“The @AlyssaEdwards_1 After Hours event was exactly what I needed,” added high school librarian Rachael Welsh.

It’s unclear if TLA—the largest state library association in the U.S. with more than 6,000 members from taxpayer-funded school and government libraries—considered showcasing any other “adult entertainers” in addition to the crossdressers.

TLA’s conference also included sessions on promoting LGBT sexual behaviors and keeping controversial pornographic materials on kids’ school bookshelves. One such book is “Gender Queer,” a graphic novel aimed at young adult readers and depicting explicit illustrations of two adolescent boys performing various sex acts.

“Maia Kobabe’s Gender Queer is 2021’s most challenged book. Winner of an Alex Award and a Stonewall Award. Find resources to defend this graphic novel in your schools and libraries,” posted American Library Association’s “Office for Intellectual Freedom,” which presented on the topic at the conference.

“Why would you defend this?” replied one citizen, who shared obscene screenshots from the book.

Additionally, TLA instructed librarians how to teach young children to be “fluent in the language and ideas of social justice”—a buzzword for leftist ideologies such as critical race theory, which states that individuals should be promoted or punished because of the color of their skin.

Meanwhile, outside the conference hall, parents across Texas are asking school officials to do the exact opposite: stop forcing LGBT sexual conduct and racist ideologies on kids, and remove books that graphically illustrate or depict pedophilia between teachers and students, incest, rape, sex acts between minors, and other explicit scenes.

“These are not nonfiction sex education books; these pose no direct educational use. These are books that should be in an adult section of Barnes & Noble, but unfortunately, they’re in our libraries,” said Fredericksburg parent Tara Petsch, who recently organized the community to speak out to the school district.

“We’ve never asked for book banning. We’ve never asked for book burning. We’ve asked for book boundaries. We want age-appropriate books in our children’s libraries. That’s all we’re asking,” Tara continued, adding, “Newspapers can’t print this material, and you’d be arrested if you gave it to a child on the street. So, why is this in our children’s library?”

The TLA also started a “grassroots coalition” to keep such materials available to kids at school. It’s unclear whether the organization would again recruit drag queens to host those story times.

Citizens concerned about their local school districts sending librarians to the TLA conference on the taxpayers’ dime may contact their local school board.

I went back to the hospital Friday morning. I had an abcess that was infected. I had to get a new drain installed. I was also slightly dehydrated due to vomitting. I am also down 40 lbs since the surgery. I now have a feeding tube. Hopefully they’ll let me eat on top of that starting today. I just haven’t been able to keep anything down. Continued prayers are appreciated.

Wow, y’all are up early this morning. TexMo, man that is rough but we’ll keep you in our prayers. I’ve been wondering how you are doing since you’ve not been around. Brother-in-Law had a feeding tube when he had cancer and you have to be judicious with feeding several times a day to keep your weight up let alone add to it. Bless You.

I just got around to looking up Elie Mystal and it’s no wonder Texpat knew what he’d say. I wasn’t familiar with the name but I’ve seen that raving lunatic on clips from Fox but I’ve not seen him in a while, so what’s up with that? FWIW; I always called him Buckwheat since that is who “HE” wanted to look like.

Yup, those Kubota guys are nuts. This guy made a cannon with a 3-D printer and yes it’s plastic, made in 6 separate parts. 😉

What Happened to Doug Jones?

Late in the 9 o’clock hour on Election Night, at a sprawling outdoor patio in downtown Birmingham, a pall fell over the watch party for Doug Jones’s Senate campaign as it became clear their candidate had lost his bid for reelection. Friends and family of the senator, many of them establishment Alabama Democrats, exchanged sighs as they embraced in front of a jumbo screen broadcasting CNN. Young campaign staffers began to chain-smoke and drain their beers with abandon.

Snip~

When Jones came into office, winning a special election against Roy Moore for Jeff Sessions’s vacant Senate seat in 2017, he became a rare Democrat to hold statewide office in deep-red Alabama. The last time a Democratic senator had prevailed here was at the end of the Dixiecrat era, in 1992, when Richard Shelby was first reelected, only to defect to the GOP two years later. The state hasn’t gone for a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter in 1976. In 2016, Donald Trump won here by nearly 30 points.

Three years later, although the national media saw his defeat as a foregone conclusion, turning their attention instead to new Democratic hopefuls in Maine and South Carolina and Kentucky, much of Jones’s staff had still felt, late into the contest, that Jones was the candidate to lead the Democratic charge against Mitch McConnell’s stranglehold on the Senate. An internal poll had shown him ahead by one point the Thursday before Election Day.

And yet Jones had lost by a 21-point margin. Beyond the dread of discovering that Trumpism was far stronger than the polls had indicated was the feeling among some in his campaign that they’d been used by national party leaders who were happy to fundraise off of Jones’s growing national profile as a resistance darling, only to then redirect those resources to boondoggle Senate races like the one in Kentucky.

You reckon?

“Doug Jones is putting his neck out, voting for impeachment and voting against ACB and Kavanaugh,” continued the source. “Meanwhile, the national party is pouring millions into races that never had a shot, and never had a strategy to begin with. And what did that investment get them? They lost by the same margins as Doug did.”

Super Dave

Francis Slaps The FSSP With New Restrictions

For those not in the know, the FSSP (Fraternal Society of St. Peter) and several other societies, orders, convents, etc., are based on the pre-Vatican II desecration of the traditional mass and worship. Their whole belief system revolves around the “mass of the ages”. Vatican II was…well, I won’t go into the whole history of what happened and who the bad actors were, but read Taylor Marshall’s book “Infiltration”. He has a whole timeline and description. Basically, there are forces that decided they couldn’t destroy the Church from the outside, and so were very patient in taking it down from the inside.

All of that effort polluted our seminaries decades ago, and those priests are now bishops. Where did the pedophile scandal come from? The financial scandals? I won’t say the Church was always pristine – it wasn’t – but there is documentation of what has happened to my beloved Church. Now, Fr. James Martin, Pachapapa’s best buddy, is promoting gay marriage in the Church, along with a whole host of his minions extolling the same thing. “Loving the sinner, hating the sin” is not the same as “in order to love them we must condone their behavior”. Francis wants to welcome divorced and remarried (to other people) couples to receive Communion, another anathema practice. I shudder with dread to hear what he’s going to eventually pronounce on abortion. For people like myself, who love my faith and dread what is coming, the traditional mass has been a balm to my soul. I am lucky to have found a parish where I can weekly engage in the blessings of the old worship traditions, before they were horribly polluted.

Francis has sent his minions to these traditional orders and centers. These visits are dreaded, as they usually are harbingers or harsh Vatican decisions. There have been multiple orders and convents shut down or forced to go against their charism and their constitutions, as established under previous popes.

The FSSP was originally going to be allowed to worship as they were designed to do. Now, it looks like things are changing. The Institute of Christ the King will be next, I’m sure.

I don’t wish it, but I would not be surprised to find Francis assassinated. The only problem is that the College of Cardinals has also been filled with folks just like him. The new Pope may not be cut of different cloth.

So I continue to pray.

On a lighter note, I saw my son’s doppelganger yesterday. I was helping out at the raffle booth, and I looked up to see my son, about 70 feet away. I knew Hubby had invited him to come, and was delighted to see him. I left the booth and headed for him to greet him.

I got about ten feet away and realized he wasn’t my kid, just as I was about to break into a big smile and greet him by name. I nixed the greeting and quickly veered right (as if I intended to all along) and walked to Hubby to give him a hug.

Hubby knew who I was talking about. The guy fooled him, too. Dead ringer for Handsome Son, until you got close.

Happy Monday, C&Cers, and welcome to May! Today I’m doing something a little different: I am summarizing what we know about the mechanisms of covid vaccine injury, along with lots of links, so you have it all in one place. This area is developing fast, and I haven’t seen anyone try to bring it together yet. Hopefully this is interesting and helpful.

I’m a little late this morning because of the length. I linked my post from Facebook instead posting right in Facebook, because I can’t stand how Facebook formats (or doesn’t format) the links. It’s just for today.

[THERE ARE A LOT OF LINKS/VIDEOS/IMAGES IN THE ORIGINAL C&C. I RECOMMEND YOU MAKE A PERSONAL VISIT TO THE SITE – I’M NOT GOING TO ATTEMPT TO GET ALL OF THOSE IN TODAY’S POST, EDIT-I DID, BUT I STILL RECOMMEND GOING TO C&C IN CASE I MISSED ONE.]

*******************************************
*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*

Yesterday, on The Epoch Times I listened to a long-form interview with Dr. Richard Urso, who is becoming one of the leading voices of pandemic-response reason along with Dr. Peter McCullough. The (real) science is slowly but surely beginning to accumulate and reveal the mechanisms of injury caused by the artificial spike protein injections. I thought I’d write up a quick summary of what we know so far. With links!
**************************

SPIKE PROTEIN IS HARMFUL

The first building block is understanding that the spike protein — whether natural or jab-induced — is harmful all by itself. It’s puzzling that Pfizer and Moderna chose this nasty bit of the Wuhan virus to provoke the immune response to their novel vaccines. Researchers keep finding more ways that spike protein is bad for the body.

E.g.:

SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Impairs Endothelial Function via Downregulation of ACE 2 | Circulation Research

Spike Proteins of SARS-CoV-2 Induce Pathological Changes in Molecular Delivery and Metabolic Function in the Brain Endothelial Cells – PubMed.

So, while there must have been a good engineering reason why Pfizer and Modern chose to use a very harmful part of the Wuhan virus in their mRNA drug, in hindsight it seems like they could have made a better choice. Hey geniuses, why not use a HARMLESS part of the virus instead? Oh well, it’s too late now, we’re already off and running on the grand experiment to see how much spike protein the human body can tolerate.

Vaccine defenders point out that the risk from spike protein injury is the same between natural spike or vaccine spike.* Even if this were true, the risks from the vaccines are still much higher, at least because the vaccine-induced spike protein hangs around in the body a lot longer than natural spike, which usually clears after a few days.

(* Some twitter posters defending the jabs online argue that the vaccine spike was somehow “deactivated” in its design, but there is zero data supporting this argument.)

***********************
THE MRNA PERSISTENCE PROBLEM

The next problem is that the drugmakers thought, or at least told everybody in the entire world, that the mRNA particles in the drug would quickly dissolve after doing their job in a matter of hours. This turned out to be false. They have found mRNA persisting in the body up to TWO MONTHS following the jab. Worse, the two months was when they ended the study. So we still don’t know the outer limits.

https://twitter.com/andrewbostom/status/1504861081948532739?s=20&t=OIFDdrX0EFviJp8cSc7B_w

The mRNA is the active element that, virus-like, infects cells and turns them into little spike-producing factories. So mRNA persistence naturally leads to spike persistence. Studies have found spike present in the bodies of vaccine recipients four months post-injection. Again, this was at the outer limits of the study, so we don’t know exactly when it stops.

Long-term persistence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein: evidence and implications
https://twitter.com/Genesis33K/status/1476539920344924161?s=20&t=OIFDdrX0EFviJp8cSc7B_w

This paper discusses the recent study by Bansal et al. on the detection of spike protein in persons vaccinated with the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. The most significant finding is that spike protein is found on exosomes, that is, cell-derived vesicles, for at least four months after the second injection. T…doctors4covidethics.org

Again, we DO NOT KNOW when the mRNA finally disappears and the spike clears from the body. Nobody’s discovered that yet or even studied it. You have to take the jabs to find out how long. Still, two common-sense things appear to be certain: first, the body’s immune system should eventually clear the spike; we just don’t know how long it will take. Second, constantly re-loading mRNA by obsessively boosting practically ensures that the harmful spike will never clear the body. So.

Why are the mRNA and spike proteins so much more persistent than the drugmakers claimed? It looks like they were over-engineered. Lab mRNA is known to be unstable, so getting mRNA vaccine technology to work was challenging. It’s very easy to package mRNA into a vaccine and inject it into an animal, but the mRNA will be degraded by enzymes before any protein production can occur.

Pfizer and Moderna solved the mRNA stability problem, in part, by making a subtle tweak to the spike protein’s mRNA code. They swapped one of the standard letters in the RNA code, the “U” (for uridine), for a slightly different molecule called N1-Methylpseudouridine. Using artificial pseudouridine instead of natural uridine stabilizes the mRNA so that it won’t immediately degrade when it’s injected into an animal.

In other words, using psuedouridine in the mRNA molecule was a good engineering fix to stop rapid decay, but it looks like it made the mRNA molecules TOO stable and make TOO MUCH spike protein for TOO LONG.

If you want to dig deeper into this problem, here’s a good stack: Pseudouridine, mRNA Vaccines & Spike Protein Persistence.

Dr. Malone briefly explains how psuedouridine preserves the vaccine mRNA:

********************************************
THE LNP MIGRATION PROBLEM

In the drugs, the microscopic mRNA particles are embedded in “lipid nanoparticles” (LNPs), teeny-tiny globs of artificial fat that help stabilize and hold the mRNA, and help the mRNA get into your cells so it can start making spike protein. Pfizer and Moderna originally said that LNPs would stay in the shoulder at the injection site and would NOT migrate into other places in the body.

But Dr. Urso, who has a background in drug design and has previously worked with lipid nanoparticles in other drugs, said it was well-known that LNPs “go everywhere” in the body. He uses a “cooking with garlic” metaphor, like how the smell of garlic goes all through the house when you sauté some crushed cloves and everybody knows you ate it for hours afterwards. It’s like that. It gets everywhere.

And a FOIA request from Japan found that Pfizer did at least one study on “biodistribution:” they used radioactive particles in rat injections to track where the LNPs migrated. The result? They went everywhere. Pfizer knew.

Here’s a recent thread explaining what we know now about how the LNPs migrate:

Twitter avatar for @AllTheRisksJonathan Weissman @AllTheRisks
[1/13] Pfizer’s lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery platform ensures systemic distribution of its “vaccine”. LNPs distribute everywhere: blood cells, plasma and distant tissues. We know this from Pfizer study 185350, which revealed damning biodistribution data in Wistar Han rats.

Dr. McCullough:
Twitter avatar for @P_McCulloughMDPeter McCullough, MD MPH @P_McCulloughMD
Biodistribution of LNP to ovaries coupled with Spike protein direct/autoimmune attack, cellular and tissue damage concerning for women in childbearing years and beyond. If a drug went on the US market and was found to accumulate in the ovaries, it would be immediately recalled.

Because LNPs can infect nearly every type of cell, the jabs are categorically worse than natural covid infection, because unlike the jab’s LNPs, covid can only infect CERTAIN TYPES of cells. The immune system has to destroy LNP-infected cells just like it must destroy covid-infected cells. With the LNPs, the body has a much bigger job of identifying and killing nearly every kind of cell imaginable than it has with clearing covid.

Plus, injection gives the vaccines a big initial advantage over the virus, which has to survive the immune-system’s defensive gauntlet in the mucosal linings before entering the lungs. The vaccines go right into your body cavity, and sometimes veins, if an inexperienced nurse forgets to aspirate the needle before injection.*

Forget about the spike, LNPs themselves can cause injury:
The mRNA-LNP platform’s lipid nanoparticle component used in preclinical vaccine studies is highly inflammatory: iScience

In the study linked above, the researchers said in their summary:

We show that in mice, intradermal, intramuscular, or intranasal delivery of LNPs used in preclinical studies triggers inflammation characterized by leukocytic infiltration, activation of different inflammatory pathways, and secretion of a diverse pool of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Thus, the inflammatory milieu induced by the LNPs could be partially responsible for reported side effects of mRNA-LNP-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in humans and are possibly contributory to their reported high potency for eliciting antibody responses.

Some folks are beginning to suspect that the puzzlingly wide variety of vaccine-induced injury is related to the LNP migration problem. The injuries depend on where it migrates and in which type of cells the LNP winds up infecting. Since this can be random (“stochastic”) between different people depending on their individual biologies, the adverse side effects are also highly diverse.

(* Aspirating the needle means sticking the needle in but then drawing out a little fluid before injecting. If the fluid is red, you’re in a vein and need to start over.)

************************
CARDIAC INURIES

It is now well-known and uncontroversial that the vaccines can produce serious cardiac injuries like myocarditis. The only argument at this point is how rare or commonplace these types of injuries are.

Myocarditis Cases Reported After mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccination in the US From December 2020 to August 2021 | Vaccination | JAMA | JAMA Network

Abstract 10712: Observational Findings of PULS Cardiac Test Findings for Inflammatory Markers in Patients Receiving mRNA Vaccines | Circulation

Tragically, the risks of vaccine-induced cardiac injury appear greatest for young people and children, who have the LEAST risk from the natural virus. It’s looking like a pretty bad deal for them.

Vaccine defenders argue that, like the vaccines, the natural virus spike protein can also cause cardiac injury, which is true. But there are at least two ways that the vaccines are worse: first, because the mRNA spike persists in the body much longer, the risk window is much greater with the jabs. Second, unlike natural covid spike, the LNP particles can infect heart cells, and that infection itself creates inflammation and a need for the body to destroy cardiac tissue to clear the mRNA-infected heart cells. So that’s an extra way that the jabs harm the heart that is not a risk from the virus.

So it is becoming more clear that the risks of vaccine-induced cardiac injury are higher, maybe much higher, than from natural covid infection.

***************************************

CLOTS AND ENDOTHELIAL INJURIES

One of the places that the mRNA-carrying LNP particles can get into is the body’s endothelial cells. These important cells line your veins and arteries. When that happens, the mRNA-loaded endothelial cells start making spike, which causes inflammation, and make the infected cells targets for destruction by the body’s immune system. The result: blood clots and other serious problems.

***********************

AUTOIMMUNE INJURIES

An under-appreciated study from last May concluded, “The response of innate immune cells to TLR4 and TLR7/8 ligands was lower after BNT162b2 vaccination, while fungi-induced cytokine responses were stronger.”

The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 reprograms both adaptive and 2 innate immune responses | MedRxIV

The study suggests a mechanism by which the immune response itself is damaged by the mRNA jabs. But another mechanism could be that the vaccine LNPs can find their way into immune cells, when then start producing spike, which causes the body to have to attack its own immune system to clear the misbehaving immune cells. Hence “auto-immune” or self-attacking.

We’re seeing anecdotal reports of autoimmune problems following the jabs appearing in the literature:

****************************

IMMUNE SUPPRESSION INJURIES

The greatest long-term risk we are now aware of is the vaccine’s potential ability to damage, or “suppress,” the body’s immune system. A suppressed immune system leaves the body vulnerable to all kinds of random nasty outcomes like breakthroughs, repeat covid infections, cancer, and increased susceptibility to common bugs like shingles, HPV, and measles. In the words of one recent study, elevated post-vaccine risks include neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis.

A suppressed immune system is the same effect produced by the AIDS virus, which is why you see a lot of chatter about “VAIDS,” or vaccine-induced acquired immune deficiency syndrome.

Here’s a very recent study describing the problem:

Innate immune suppression by SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccinations: The role of G-quadruplexes, exosomes, and MicroRNAs – ScienceDirect

In the paper linked above, the researchers conclude:

We present evidence that mRNA vaccines induce a profound impairment in type I interferon signaling, which has diverse adverse consequences to human health … The mRNA vaccines likely cause increased risk to infectious diseases and cancer.

In fact there are any number of anecdotal reports by practitioners seeing a substantial uptick in post-vaccination aggressive cancers:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/dr-ryan-cole-alarming-cancer-trend-suggests-covid-19-vaccines-alter-natural-immune-response_4250442.html

Same with shingles:

Covid: Six with autoimmune conditions developed shingles after Pfizer vaccine | Daily Mail Online

If these anecdotal upticks are signals, they tend to confirm that the vaccinated are experiencing immune system suppression. We have also seen that triple-boosted folks are now more likely to test positive for covid than any other cohort, which is consistent with an immune-suppression hypothesis.

*******************

CONCLUSION

As they keep reminding me, I’m not a doctor, I’m only a lawyer. Therefore, I present this roundup not as “proof” of anything but as “evidence.” I included links to the studies and sources for your reference and as written “expert witnesses” for the claims. In a jury trial, if one side produces evidence, any evidence at all, and the other side produces nothing, then the side producing evidence wins by default.

In a case like that, they say “the evidence was unrebutted.”

The public health establishment has a duty to produce evidence that the jabs are safe and effective, as they claim. Exactly how long does the enhanced mRNA stay in the body making spike protein? Exactly where can the LNPs go? Do the jabs damage the body’s immune response? If so, to what extent? And for exactly how long?

The good news is, the more we understand about HOW the vaccines cause injury, the easier it will be to treat or even reverse these types of injuries. So, we’re making progress, and I expect this trend will only accelerate. But the best news is that the secret embargo on vaccine-injury studies appears to have now been lifted, so we can at least talk about it and the researchers can learn from each other.

Let me know in the comments if I missed any important studies and I’ll add them.

Finally, sorry about the length. I tried to keep it as concise as I could while still making it all understandable.

“Their confrontation grew so heated that at least one onlooker feared the Greene-Boebert back-and-forth might escalate beyond the verbal cage match had another board member not stepped in to de-escalate, according to a GOP lawmaker who was granted anonymity to describe what happened,” the report reads.

***********************

And Boebert has problems with conservatives associating with figures like Fuentes. It’s easy to see why.

“Greene drew backlash from some members of the Republican Party for attending the America First Political Action Conference in February because Fuentes, 23, is accused of being a white nationalist by multiple groups,” reports the Washington Examiner. “At the event, he appeared to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin. He has also denied the Holocaust and expressed admiration for the Taliban’s harsh treatment of women.”

Yeah. He said those things. And Greene stood by his side.

I agree with Boebert on principle, but if I were her, I wouldn’t want to come to blows with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Those Georgia girls can scrap!

I sincerely hope Greene loses in the primary coming up on August 23rd. Anybody who would associate with Nick Fuentes shouldn’t claim to be a conservative, much less a Republican.

Never a dull moment.

GOP Rep. Alex Mooney has represented West Virginia’s 2nd district since 2015. Rep. David McKinley has been the state’s 1st district Congressman since 2011. Both incumbents are running in the newly-drawn 2nd district setting up a rare red-on-red competition.

Rep. Mooney received the endorsement of Donald Trump last November. He’s accusing McKinley of being a RINO for supporting the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal. But Mooney stretched the truth when he claimed that McKinley supports Biden’s $2 trillion Build Back Better bill.

To counter that claim, McKinley enlisted the services of the state’s senior senator and most popular politician: Joe Manchin. In a highly unusual move, the Democrat Manchin cut an ad for Republican congressman McKinley.

You’re not the only one worried about whether the Edwards Acquifer can survive millions of refugees fleeing California’s dystopia and building houses there.

As to the Edwards Aquifer, people out here know full well its importance to the State of Texas and Central Texas. The problem is that we hear this same old story every year when the summer dry season shows up that the aquifer is going to run out of fresh water, that the water below a certain point in the aquifer is salt water, that salamanders are going to die if the streams dry up, and so forth. Same old playbook year in and year out. Truth is no one knows the real limits of the vast aquifer. But it does need to be recharged every year, and this year is turning out to be a dry one so far, dating back to last fall and spring time where anticipated rains have not happened. The solution is for a big old hurricane to come ashore around Corpus Christi or south, move into central Texas, and dump tons of rainfall over the area. People are always bad mouthing hurricanes, but the truth is they do more good than harm. They cool the ocean waters by sucking up the excess heat and delivering it into the -60 degree stratosphere; they provide a volume of water to recharge aquifers, rivers, lakes, stock tanks and the like at levels that no other type storm can even approach. So let’s keep the lowly hurricanes in our sights as the drought breakers that they are. If you are a coast dweller, just think of the virtue signaling credits you can earn for making an individual sacrifice of your property for the greater good, etc. by supporting the pray for a hurricane movement,.

OK, that’s about it for the morning so far. You all have a great one, and I’ll be back as news develops. More later.

Mark Judge on the calcified, desiccated state of American journalism in the 21st century.

In 2001, a man named Jay Forman wrote a piece for the tiresome leftist website Slate called “Monkeyfishing.” The piece described a trip Forman said he took to Florida with a “monkeyfisherman.” The monkeyfisherman, wrote Foreman, casts a fruit-baited fish line onto the island where research monkeys were kept. A monkey takes the bait, and is then pulled into the water.

“Monkeyfishing” was exposed almost immediately as fake, although it took Slate several years, and an investigation by some journalism students at Columbia University, for them to admit as much.

The editor of “Monkeyfishing,” Jack Shafer, failing upwards as all journalists do, went on to become the media critic for Politico.

In other words, Shafer made what should have been a career-ending screwup and got promoted for it.

and,

The Vanity Fair piece also quoted a woman named Evie Shapiro who claimed to have gone to college with me at Catholic University. Only one problem: Evie Shapiro went to the University of Maryland. The Daily Wire found many more mistakes.

The intent of the Vanity Fair piece was to make me sound dangerous. New York Times fabulists Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin used similar tactics. Their careers should have ended with their abysmal coverage, but they’re still at it.

Jack Shafer is and always has been a fraud.

Wolczko is a cigar-smoking sailor.

Finally getting around to my first meal of the day. I am enjoying fresh herbs in my eggs, btw.

I relocated a few more caterpillars to a central yard/bird feeding area this morning. The one that got away from me last night looks like he got away from me again.

The zucchini that I thought I killed by transplanting was about to be replaced by new seeds. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tiny leaves I thought were dead wilted have perked back up. Resurrection works, and the little plant that could has been given a reprieve.

I uncovered my covered squash and tomato plants this morning. I don’t know if the leaves touching the tulle were giving the plants some kind of signal, so I figgered what the heck and let ’em free. Let’s see if that helps them become more productive.

I planted another huge tote this morning, which involved much toting of dirt, leaves, and sticks. And three earthworms, that I know of. The richer plantain seeds from the shop has gone into that tote, along with some radishes and marigolds. I tend to put radishes into every planting, because I want the greens and they are easy to grow. The tote under the tree – in which I have YET to have anything germinate! – has been replanted with some foxglove, a flower that I’ve always wanted to grow and it likes some shade. Hopefully, it will be happy there. I was pleased to see the tail end of an earthworm pulling under the dirt as I pulled back my leaf mulch for seeding. You go, girl! Have babies!

In general, I’ve checked everything, watered what needed to be watered, gotten frustrated by my empty pots, and sweated enough for the morning. The YT lady I’ve been inspired by (Channel: “Robbie and Gary Gardening Easy”) advocates her “gardening shirts”. I made one: a t-shirt with a pocket on the front, into which can go whatever needs to be held. I tried it out this morning, and it was really handy. I had my phone in there, playing my rosary and Divine Mercy chaplet, so I was able to pray as I worked without keeping track of my phone. I also dropped my gardening scissors in there. As I’m (hopefully) harvesting, I could drop produce in there as well. I have plenty of old shirts, which I’m converting into shopping bags or gardening shirts now.

My frugal nature would otherwise have me turning them into rags. The sleeves from the shopping totes will become cleaning rags, for sure.

Reduce, reuse, repair, recycle. And compost. Can’t forget compost. Would that by “recycle”?

Oh, and Hubby said the ladders and cardboard may arrive Wednesday or Thursday. That will allow me to grow my garden and put those unused totes to use.

Problem is: most of my seeds say April was the end of the planting window. I may go ahead and put some seeds in and see how they do. Or I may go and find some starter plants at the store. That’s more expensive, but I have all these totes and I want to have stuff to store away….

No nap for me today. I messed up and stripped the bed and washed the sheets, but I can’t seem to get motivated to put them back on just yet. No sheets, no nap. Why is it that one thing always leads to another?

Still no rain out here, but the wind is back. Rose bushes still suffering as a result. Don’t know if any of them will make it or not. Gonna leave them alone anyway. Roots seem set and they are not loose in the ground, so I suppose they can always come back. Tomatoes and peppers are coming along pretty well though.

You oughta needuh gotta watch regularly. Compared to past reports things are quiet but looks can be deceiving. Assets are being placed near the Baltic and along the Uker border. Remember the buildup of cargo ships at Longbeach?. Check out Shanghai. Monkey points out where the spy palnes are looking. Really interesting and you oughta see what is checking us out. And Food shortages are coming. Stock up in my opinion for at. least 3 months and more if you can. Troop movers are moving from here to there like crazy. Equipment movements from here to there slight uptick. We are feeding quarters into the machine.

Monkey’s bonafides includes mega years and high position at LockHeed Martin, worked on the F-35 among other aircraft.

Stock up in my opinion for at. least 3 months and more if you can.

Working on it. Hubby and I were just talking about that. I told him I’m buying commercially canned greens like spinach, because I’ll never be able to grow enough to make canning it worthwhile. You know, because it evaporates as it’s cooked. That is cheaper to buy canned, and greens are nutrient dense and low carb – perfect for anyone’s diet. I’m hoping to someday be able to put together something I saw on Youtube – a dried greens supplement. It’s stuff like kale, spinach, dandelion, radish, etc., dried and mixed together in a powder or flake that I can add to dishes to boost the nutrient value without affecting taste too much.

Not there yet, but Hubby just helped me set up two ladders on four chairs. I’m excited about the ladders – they have allowed me to set up what would normally take me 7 or 8 chair on only four. He has another fireman ladder, but he’s keeping that for himself. I’m just grateful he took the time to bring these over for me and help me set ’em up.

Hubby and I agree that putting up protein is more important right now, and that is my main focus. But I do hope to be able to do some pickling this year. I remember helping my mom pickle each summer. I may even pickle zucchini, if I get enough.

I tell people to prayerfully consider what and how much to stock up on. BSue explained to me that rice and beans (50# bags) are the best for bulk protein. Both are what is known as incomplete proteins alone but combined in a meal ya get yer complete protein. So we have our bags of rice and beans. We are dividing them into and four cup packages, seal-a-mealing them and packing them away in 5 gallon airtight buckets. I priced those freeze dried meals……. holy crap they have gone sky high in price form just a few months ago. So we stock up on whatever canned goods we can get from Sams. Including canned chicken, canned fruits and even Ravioli. Crazy days we live in. It truly is time to put your faith totally in God for everything.

Bed got made up. Snacking now on a couple of left over ribs, and they are still pretty good. Food shortage – yeah, where do they think fertilizer comes from. All the energy people want to talk about is forcing you in to an electric car. No mention at all of all the petroleum or fossil fuel products, including fertilizer. Control schools, health care, food supply, energy supply, air quality, environmental limitations – what’s left. Nothing. Add in now deflating the currency and there is absolutely nothing left that is not government dependent.

Wait until they find out you saved food – it will be taken for the greater good. Amazing how that works.

Blackie, my feral cat, drops by almost every day and helps himself to whatever is in the cat bowl. But if he sees me milling about, he’s off to the hills. He still values his freedom more than he does a free meal. No one is ever going to touch that cat unless he gets caught in a trap.

Big time news there. I heard Justice Roberts say that he believed that abortion should never have been heard and that the issue would best be left to the states. I think that is why several states are getting their laws in gear including some states declaring they will be abortion safe zones.

#79 – One of the few times I agree with Roberts. It should be a State matter. Other than the moral issue, the other big deal might be to do away with federal funding for abortions, namely getting rid of PP.

Planned Parenthood will relocate all its operations to pro-abortion states and millions will pour in. They will set up funds to fly any woman who wants an abortion to those states and put them up in hotels.

People love to throw around the term “constitutional crisis”. Well, we’ve got one now.

From Instapundit:

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): A friend comments: “Whatever position you may have on the issue, leaking a draft SCOTUS opinion to try to change the outcome of a case is a new level of brinksmanship that speaks to the hyperpoliticization of law schools and an accompanying valorization of ‘activism’ in higher ed.”

Assuming this was leaked by a clerk, the leaker should never work in law again. It’s a betrayal of the highest order. But, of course, professionalism has proven to be weak sauce indeed when it comes to restraining activism.

More thoughts from Josh Blackman. “The Court should issue the Dobbs opinion as soon as possible. Do it tomorrow. Don’t wait till Thursday, or next Monday, or the end of June. The longer this process drags on, the worse the Court will be . . . if any members of the majority changed their vote in response to the leak, that change will be seen as a direct response to this leak.”
