Someday, I’ll figure out how to resize and save images on this Mac. I did manage to resize this meme much larger, but now I have no idea how to find it. I don’t know where it is.

Man it’s good to be home. As I mentioned yesterday we rolled in about 2 PM and made good time, 579 miles in 9 hours and 20 minutes. We only stopped for gas (15 minutes) and a Rest Stop (10 minutes). We usually stop for breakfast but just wanted to get home. I also mentioned that we got together with 4 of our oldest and best friends on Sunday and had some fine seafood N oysters @ Pier 6 down on the bay and I got a picture yesterday morning. The motley crew back together after a couple of years, I/we do miss these guys.

G’Morning Gang… I’m always a little shocked when it’s warmer when I wake up than when I went to bed…but I’m sure Old Man Winter ain’t done with us yet…

Happy Toooooosday, y’all.

We’ve been dog-sitting for my son since Thursday, they got back from Colorado yesterday and picked her up. She’s a good girl but Buddy the Dog likes to run solo. He’s very happy to have his domain back.

Texpat –
I remember reading through a Guinness book of world records as a child, just finding interesting tidbits. I looked up “smallest brain,” and was tickled to read that the world’s smallest brain belonged to some sizeable dinosaur millennia ago. The brain was the size of a walnut. The last line has stuck with me for over fifty years: “It lived xxx million years ago, wandering about North America, wondering where it had been.”
Your trials with your Mac remind me of that, and it makes me chuckle.

I myself was wandering about my kitchen this morning, making breakfast (rare for me) and my coffee. I was carrying my plate and realized – I only had teeny reminder of my sciatica. Progress!
I did wear my back brace last night, perhaps that helped. After my 1.5 miles on the treadmill, my back felt…tired? weak? I’ve been going without it more often, trying to get my back in shape, but perhaps I should still wear it every now and then.
But, still — PROGRESS!
Praying for that for our beloved Texmo.

We just watched the 2013 movie “Jobs” last night, this one played by Ashton Kutcher. Steve Jobs was a PIA, and by Texpat’s 2023 experience, still is. 😀

Oh, did I mention coffee???
VINCIT OMNIA VERITAS ☙ Tuesday, February 21, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Before I put the roundup up for viewing, it just hit me how important O’Keefe has been, the impact he’s had. For his removal from his creation to create such interest, is a testament to his work and the importance thereof.
Roundup:
Today, we have a special C&C edition: We need to talk about Project Veritas. We were promised answers by Monday, and boy, did we get them. James O’Keefe made an internal resignation video that leaked in about three seconds, and the Board published a wild, literally unbelievable response. Although there is a TON of other breaking news, we need to give this story our full attention for today.
I rounded up lots of thoughts plus some suggestions for current PV employees who must surely be wondering what to do next. Here’s a hint: do what you do best.
Agreed. Onward…
I was originally going to write this post in the form of a letter to James O’Keefe, part legal advice, part sympathy, part life wisdom. But as I re-watched his video and kept turning the whole thing around in my head, I realized James doesn’t need any advice from me.
What I saw in the video is a positive, confident, happy warrior who is executing a plan and running rings around his enemies.
James, who’s spent years wrangling with Deep State persecution, and who understands better than anyone how those toadstool-gobbling reptiles operate, realized that: Project Veritas has been compromised. /The calls are coming from inside the house./ So he planted charges, leapt aboard the Millennium Falcon, and is racing toward outer space at warp speed. Figuratively, of course.
That was my thought, too.
From what I can tell, James is NOT just operating on instinct. I think he deliberately tested the theory of whether Project Veritas has been infiltrated, by asking the Project Veritas Board to resign. When every single traitorous one of them refused, James had his answer. It doesn’t MATTER whether it was Pfizer, the CIA, the FBI, Russia, Fauci, or even Putin himself. The company has been compromised.
And so James began carefully executing his plan.
James did mention “lawyer” in his resignation…
Childers goes on to explain how the board lied to him when Mr. C. called, and some history. In the usual Childers style, of course. After the history and the link to O’Keefe’s resignation video, he goes on to discuss the legal points of this event:
… James and the PV Board have been engaged in an intricate legal dance that was immediately obvious to corporate lawyers like me…. Officers owe significant duties to the company, duties of loyalty and honest dealing, called “fiduciary” duties.
The most common lawsuit against a corporate officer is for breach of their fiduciary duties. But the first thing they teach lawyers about this area of practice …There’s only a valid claim if the act was intentionally harmful or disloyal.
/snip
I believe the PV Board members know all this will destroy the company. I think they are PRETENDING like they are just making horrible decisions, so that they can defend a future lawsuit for breaching their fiduciary duties….
This next email to PV employees from a Board member,…. This is supposed to look like damage control — but it’s not. This is a pathetic, barely-trying effort to SIMULATE damage control. If PV were REALLY trying to survive this disaster, the Board would be holding nonstop, in-person, all-hands town hall meetings right now….
Read the email, and ask yourself if it looks like it was written by a board member of a $60M media company:
If this was legit, the board would NOT be sending one-sentence emails without any details or plans about how they’re going to handle the massive tsunami of bad PR racing toward the company RIGHT NOW…..
That email is a fraud…. It is an exhibit, the feverish work of a corrupted, dishonest, and lazy board member fraudulently pretending he is “doing something,”….
Then Childers reports how the Board tried to make things worse by blaming JO for money mismanagement. Publicly. On the firm’s website.
In legal terms, something like this is called an “admission.” It’s the kind of thing that invites lawsuits from disgruntled donors to be filed against Project Veritas. It’s literally the best kind of EVIDENCE — an admission from the board!
Childers describes this as a bonehead move, as well as an obviously magicked accusation. Then the Board tried to make donors feel better, assuring them that things would be well and they would be well taken care of. Yeah, right. As Childers notes, donors are pulling out like the beach going dry before the tsunami makes its appearance. My tsunami is the total exposure of PV’s corruption, the sources behind it, and all of the legal fallout.
****
The Childers looks at the situation from James’ point of view:
Rewind the timeline back two weeks. Once James recovered from his shock over being attacked by his own Board, he probably quickly realized his company had been corrupted, compromised, and crippled. But he couldn’t say any of that publicly. While he was the CEO, he couldn’t do ANYTHING that might hurt the company, ESPECIALLY if it was because he disagreed with the Board, or he’d face a lawsuit.
That’s why James never tweeted during his suspension, and why his video was directed only to employees. James can complain to employees, but he shouldn’t be complaining about the company to the public. You can argue that James knew the video would leak,….
James appears to be two steps ahead of the Board….James’ mission discipline strongly suggests he is not acting emotionally, but according to a plan.
/snip
Most commenters misunderstand James O’Keefe’s wild popularity among conservatives and his value to the PV “brand.” It’s not because regular people have been entertained by PV’s media products.,,,
James is popular because we are GRATEFUL. And because James gives us HOPE.
He’s not a role model. …His appeal is much more profound than that.
/snip
People instinctively understand there would be NO Project Veritas without James O’Keefe. …
/snip
Everyone will follow James O’Keefe. …The Deep State will not win this round. James is not going to have the least bit of trouble getting his new venture off the ground, and he will enjoy doing recreating the enterprise from scratch with the benefit of abundant capital and real-life hindsight.
James’ new venture will be ten times leaner, meaner, and more effective than the old Project Veritas…
/snip
The only material loss is momentum on the Pfizer case, and other investigations that we don’t know about. But at least the Pfizer story appears to have grown legs.
Last week, eleven members of Congress sent a letter to the FDA, NIH, and HHS, asking for answers related to the Project Veritas — Pfizer story.
I’ll stop there, but I encourage you to read the original.

From C&C comments:
You cannot stop James O’Keefe, you can only try to contain him.
Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you.”
Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
— Ephesians 5:11-16 NASB1995
For all of the grammar nazis out there, including me:
“Plus you are a horrible writer. Try using a period sometime. It’s a very useful punctuation, and it’s conveniently located on the keyboard, requiring only a trivial effort to stick them between your sentences.” — I nearly spit out my coffee at that comment. My reading/writing tutor heart appreciates this snarky comment more than words can express.
My “boss” at my old parish would send me emails (and I see a ton of this on Nextdoor, too) that were ten sentences all run together. No capitalization, no commas, no periods. I had to read her missives five times before I was sure I was decoding her message correctly. I hate that texting has made people so lazy that they can’t write a coherent sentence. Or maybe it’s a lack of education.

Guy Fieri is on television making chili.
As he’s adding the meat he tells the hosts, “Texas chili has no beans.”
So there you have it.

Re: James O’Keefe
Never will understand how a company founder can get fired from his own company. I do understand, but I don’t. Since we just watched “Jobs” last night, I’m reminded it happened to him as well. James gets a do-over, what would prevent it in his next venture? Is it inevitable? In Steve Jobs case, don’t take the company public? I don’t know if Veritas is is a public company.

Just got access to the digital version of our new church directory. I think there was something wrong with the photographer. We all look so old.

Morning, gang. I still have a shopping list to fulfill, so I’ll be heading out pretty soon.

Finished 1.5 miles. The last half mile was a challenge. The last quarter mile was a REAL challenge. But I made it through and did some stretching. And I got my rosary in, watching Taylor Marshall’s YT video for it so I didn’t have to keep track of beads, too.
Handyman got his dose of Latin prayer for today.

Good overcast and very windy morning, Hamsters
The James O’Keefe saga continues…. And thanks to Tedtam’s investigations we have real information coming on what’s going on, who is behind the guilty parties, and how the O’Keefe attorneys are likely to proceed on his behalf in his lawsuits. May those suits be legion. Expect many normal folks will be very interested.

Picking up the mic.
Guy Fieri is a Communist sympathizer. Restricting beans from chili is a subliminal attempt to keep people in chili bondage. Set your chili free and add beans your life will be better.

We finally got a new Road Atlas last year, over many years I’d gotten lazy and totally depended upon GPS which gets you in trouble if you have no clue where you should be going, and don’t have an idea what is coming up. Especially in cities you are unfamiliar with the freeway system.

Loved the old key maps, didn’t know they still had them. Problem with using them in my field service days was you had to have one for every county around, but Harris and Montgomery Counties covered most of it.

Squawk:
Raod Atlas from flying J is what I use and then there are my Key Maps. I don’t think you can even buy a map from a “C” store any longer.
When I made my solo trip to El Paso, I wanted a good local map of the area, since I had no idea where the properties we inherited from MIL were. I almost despaired of succeeding in my task, and I finally found one in a gas station not far from my hotel. Even with the map, and then with GPS, I still couldn’t find the lots. I was grateful that I found local ladies at the tax assessor’s office who were able to help me.
According to the address and the map, I was touring south of I-10. They told me I needed to go well north of I-10, find a street (without a street sign, btw), and make a left into the desert. I found the to-be-developed are on the unmarked but main drag (I guess one of the commercial trucks knocked the sign down). Then I used the info from the tax assessor’s office, the map, and the GPS to try to find the other, larger lot, and failed. I sent a picture of desert scrub and texted Hubby that our property was “out there somewhere”.
I followed the magic box lady’s voice to go home, and promptly got lost. She took me through the Guadalupe Mountains instead of back to I-10. It was pretty in the mountains, but later she took me through that despair inducing, God forsake patch of land 30 miles west of Orla. That place still depresses me after all these years, just thinking about it. I remember driving through the road/hill cutout and literally feeling lighter and freer. I was never so happy to find a miles long traffic jam getting back to I-10. I was terrified I was going to break down in that depressing area and have to get out of my car.
No telling what I would’ve done, if that miasma had rubbed off on me.

We all felt the same, just didn’t say it out loud.

Hubby lived by Key Maps. We had a set of ’em in the office, and used them daily.
True story: Handsome was working for an HVAC company years ago, and the techs had taken all the vans with GPS. The battered, old van was left, but they needed someone to do a parts run. Since Handsome had grown up with his Daddy in the work truck, he’d learned how to use a Key map as a kid. Handsome asked for a Key map and the keys.
When he successfully returned, it was nine days’ wonder at the shop, that he’d been able to traverse his route without the GPS.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the thought of a buncha grown men unable to read a map. Good grief, I can read a map. I learned how in third grade, or thereabouts.
Can you imagine civil war breaking out? Will there be enough folks who can navigate to their assigned sites?

I have been down that nightmare too. I was in Miami bought the most recents maps of the area and as fate would have it they were out of date a month after printing. What I was looking for was built on a new street. What a mess. After driving and asking for directions I happened upon a builder that knew the location. Getting out of Miami was horrific because I was guided down to US 1 which runs North South along the Atlantic and I wanted to head west. I called BSue and she went on line and guided me out. GOOD GRIEF

When I was a field mechanic on construction equipment, quite often the jobsite was on a new road, not on the key maps, or later my Garmin. Sometimes I’d have a heck of a time and end on dead end roads and I’d often think – some poor trucker has already been through this delivering the equipment, how the heck they find it? Lol
You always feel like road construction takes forever, especially if it’s on a route you take all the time, but a key map or Garmin can get outdated very quickly.
-
I’m just now hearing about this one.
-
My trip was very productive! I got 3 cases of cats’ favorite Friskie’s Shreds, will last them over a month. And I left some partial cases for people who don’t need as much as I do. Got everything else on my list too, but nothing was an exceptional find like the cat chow.
-
I remember back when I would occasionally have to ship parts or equipment out of Miami to South America. When I mentioned Miami on the phone, I would hear this bad moan from the trucker in the background. I knew he was trying to come up with some excuse not to take the load. Lots of freight inbound to South Florida, but virtually nothing coming out so all the trucks were deadheading back home burning up fuel hauling nothing but air. When I got a truck to haul my load to Miami it was expensive for lack of a backhaul.
I did know some guys in Brenham who ran cattle haulers to Florida to bring back loads of calves to the feedlots in New Mexico/Texas Panhandle. When they left the feedlots up there, they would load their livestock trailers with alfalfa hay bales and drive straight on to Florida. Alfalfa sold for a fortune down there and it went a long way towards paying the fuel bill.
-
I always loved poking around the Key Maps store. And walking out with a brand new Kep Map or two.

You’re an actual pinko. Beans in chili ranks right up there with fluoride in water as an agent to sully our precious bodily fluids and contaminate our inner constitutions.
-
TP @ 12:43 – South FL can be a ‘black hole’ absolutely – only exceptional time is when produce is ‘hot’ and leaving FL. Any ‘other’ time drivers KNOW they may have to deadhead as far as Jacksonville, Savannah, or Charleston to find a decent re-load.
Very similar scenario(s) for Denver & Salt Lake city
Polar ‘opposites’ are Chicago, Birmingham, Memphis – fairly ‘normal’ rates to GO – very SPENDY* to leave!
*(as in 75-100 available loads per truck)

#41 Wagonburner – It’s really NOT his fault… Someone really REALLY close to him was on the wrong side of the Sabine River when he decided to put in his initial appearance to this world. While one parent was from the “show me” state originally (and was definitely part Missouri mule – in the most loving sort of way), but graduated from High School in Beaumont… and other was a “Maine-iac” but the USAF had exiled them to the wrong side of the Sabine, at the time of his birth.
I like to think that his having been married to a 5th generation Native Texan TWICE will eventually even things out – but I must admit that SOMETIMES, I like beans in my chili… sometimes I don’t… Kinda like the “sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” commercials. Please don’t ‘get a rope’ 😉

I’m listening to a podcast episode of the Exorcist Files and the priest made an interesting point. Demons are highly legalistic. They are still constrained by the law of God. The priest has NEVER heard a demon blaspheme the name of God, while humans use it as “punctuation”. That observation really makes me think.

Key Maps;
When I was a field mechanic on construction equipment, quite often the jobsite was on a new road, not on the key maps, or later my Garmin. Sometimes I’d have a heck of a time and end on dead end roads and I’d often think – some poor trucker has already been through this delivering the equipment, how the heck they find it? Lol
Tell me about it! Back in another life I used to do house inspections for several State Farm agents. The inspection was fairly simple, check and record the type of plumbing and electrical then take Polaroids of the house, front N back, roof and the breaker box. I’d group these into geographical areas so I could do them all in one trip. I pretty sure I couldn’t have done it with Key Maps and this was before GPS. More than once my new map would send me down a road from one subdivision to another BUT the road wasn’t there yet. Once, up around 1960 I drove about 10 miles to connect a couple of subdivisions together that were only about a mile apart. Of course this was back in the second boom years, 1990’s or so.

I’m showing 88 degrees out here right now, with winds picking up in the 15-20 mph range. I closed up one side of the greenhouse to keep the wind from blowing the whole dam thing away while leaving the other side open so as to not get too hot. Planting some squash plants is very tempting since I’ve got a ton of them and actually only need two or three, so even if none of them survived it would not be a big loss. I sprayed weeds with round up this morning, and accidentally spilled a little of the mix on one of my dianthas. I washed it off quickly, but it may not make it. There’s a lot of clover out there, so I should at least wait a couple of days to let the round up start taking effect before planting anything new. Spring like weather is most certainly tempting, and I’m thinking of fertilizing my roses since they are trying to bud out anyway and might do better at resisting freeze if they had a little energy boost. If it freezes at night I’ll cover them with a tarp anyway, so that may not be as big a risk as I was thinking.

As far as an Atlas goes wife worked with State agents in Georgia, Kansas and Texas before becoming a Farmers Agent so we always had the newest throw-down Gimmy Rand Mc Nally Road Atlas with a State Farm front cover and the agents name stamped on the front.

My neighbor buddy gave me a ziplock bag full of yellow and red onion bulbs yesterday, had to YouTube it for city boy to know for sure which was up and which is down – don’t laugh! Got them planted in an alamanion pan filled with potting soil. I’ll have to YouTube again at a later date to know when to pull them, assuming any make it.

The wind was considerably more brisk than yesterday. Do not see anybody in the neighborhood trying to fly a kite. Trash pickup this morning came before 10, and the empty can was victim to the wind’s wishes. Ended up in the ditch next to the driveway. It is not a small can on wheels, rather a large can on wheels that can carry a big load. Am forever thanking whoever came up with the idea of putting trash cans on wheels. Pulling something rather than carrying it has a great advantage. 🙂

This accident involving the Budweiser Clydesdale horses could have been much worse.

Daanngg!

TexMo,
It certainly could have been much worse. Problem came when the team turned toward the rail instead of toward the center of the arena, and who knows how that happened. Clydesdales are the largest horse breed, and they are very smart. They knew to trust their driver and the other folks who came to their aid. And they did not panic despite what an awful predicament it was. They certainly knew something was very wrong.

My worst GPS experience was in Morocco. We lived in Casablanca and one weekend we decided to visit Fez. We had been there before and we took the toll road between the two cities which is about a 3 hour drive at 120 km/hr.
The toll road is immaculate at well maintained and also very lightly utilized due to the cost. Typically only the wealthy and more well off people use the toll roads. The majority of the Moroccans take the old national highway system which is typically a pot holed road that is barely two lanes with no paved shoulder. The speed limits are typically 60 – 90 km/hr.
On the night in question, I typed in Casablanca into the Garmin and blindly followed it not realizing I was taking the old national highway. By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. I tried to detour to hook up with the toll road only to end up on a road that crossed over the toll road, but did not allow access to the toll road.
I should have gotten home by midnight, but it was close to 2:30 am.

Late today my wife decided to take Rocky for a walk (unbeknownst to me) and a little later I wanted to go check out the water level of the big pond. Lil’ Bit saw me getting the key to the old Red Mule and of course had to go along. When we got halfway down the Whispering Pines Trail we picked up wife and the bigger Dawg and headed down to the Bear Creek Trail then back to the pond. We let the dawgs go and run so my wife went with them while I picked up a few downed limbs. FWIW; The pond looked pretty good considering we’ve only got about 8″ of rain in the last two months. The headwaters are backed up pretty good and if we get a normal rainy spring it’ll be filled up nicely. Yup, Life is Good in my World. 😉

“whispering pines”
One of my plants is directly across a Farm road from a five/six tree deep, 200 yd long stand of towering, mature pines.
One afternoon the southeast wind was blowing pretty hard, as it typically does. I’ve been around pines all my life but I’ve never heard what I heard that day. I climbed out of the truck and I froze. What was that sound? Where was it coming from? It sounded exactly like small waves breaking on a nearby beach. Wow. It was so cool.
I just closed my eyes and I was there.
Still waiting to hear it just like that again.

I’ve found these YT videos Midwest Magic Cleaning. It’s this autistic guy who finds cleaning hoarder houses and such therapeutic. It “scratches his itch” as he says, to transform trash houses into places order.
He doesn’t charge for his services, and I’ve seen him do houses for elderly people who are just not able to care for themselves or their homes. What a gift for some of these families. We’re talking biohazard type homes. Indeed, I’ve seen him wear biohazard gear on some of them.
I like watching him because he gets sassy with his narration, to wit: “I just slapped that counter with Mr. Clean and gave it a good wipe down. Suck it, counter.” “I’m wearing a jacket because there’s no heat or hot water…it’s like 28 degrees Farenheit, which is like minus 7000 degrees Celsius or something. I’m not good with conversions.”
And the way he talks about his son Jason. It must be a private joke that he verbally craps all over his kid.
It is amazing, what he does. He uses Mr. Clean for crud cleaning, then follows up with his APC which consists of 20% of 91% isopropyl alcohol, 80% water, and about 4 drops of Dawn. That finishes cleaning and sanitizes surfaces. I may have to try that combination when we have our next vacancy. I’ve learned some cleaning tips from him, while laughing at how he back talks the houses he cleans.

About bedtime out here. Today the MOA above me was hot, and the jet traffic was pretty good. the ranchers say it scares their livestock, but I do like the sound of freedom. I thought Tucker’s monologue was interesting tonight. I just don’t see how “they” can allow him to continue much longer. Now that he’s got his staff rummaging through the 40,000 hours of insurrection video he is a real threat to TPTB, both Dems and Reps alike – just like Trump was and is. He will have to be disappeared one way or another soon I suspect. If they could do it to the Project Veritas guy, they can do it to The Tuca.
You all have a goo night now. I think some one pointed out that tomorrow will be windy. We will stay warm, but the Gulf moisture will be feeding a serious blizzard to our north.

Wind is still vigorous tonight, but the weather folk on the news indicate it will get stronger tomorrow. We likely will have to take Old Glory inside to keep it from blowing away into one of our pastures, or horrors, into one of the neighboring pastures that have livestock in them.
G’night all.
