On April 24, 1945 the Marine Corps of the United States had been fighting inch by inch on the beaches of Okinawa for over three weeks.

The Allies believed that capturing Okinawa would be integral to their success in ending the war in the Pacific Theater. Okinawa is the largest of the Ryukyu Islands located just 350 miles south of the Japanese mainland and without its airfields, the Allied forces believed they would be unable to successfully invade mainland Japan.

Over the course of 82 brutal days, a weakened Japanese army unsuccessfully defended Okinawa. And because the Imperial Army did not believe in surrender, it suffered massive losses fighting its soldiers to death. Indeed, Over 1,400 Japanese Kamikaze pilots entered the fray, ready to die for their cause because they knew that if Okinawa fell, the motherland was as good as defeated.

All the Allied forces had to do now was to take advantage of Japan’s many vulnerabilities to end the war. In the Battle of Okinawa, Allied soldiers did just that in one of the last — and bloodiest — events of the war.

but this they faced and it ended up to be a trap,

No Japanese soldiers met them on the shore. It was Easter Sunday — April 1, 1945.

What the U.S. soldiers did find were civilians. Japan had effectively disowned the natives of Okinawa; mainland Japanese regarded Okinawans as second-class citizens and these natives paid the price for their homeland. As many as 150,000 civilians died during the Battle of Okinawa, many of them young boys recruited to fight.

and,

The U.S. suffered another high-profile casualty: journalist Ernie Pyle. While he accompanied the 77th infantry division, Japanese machine gunners killed Pyle, a man whose war-time coverage made him a beloved correspondent.

The Battle of Okinawa saw the deaths of up to 100,000 Japanese soldiers and 14,000 Allied casualties, with 65,000 more wounded. However, the civilians of Okinawa still bore the highest death toll of the battle with over 300,000 deaths.

    Morning gang.  Up a little early after an early turn in last evening, but not as early as it could have been.  A little warmer in the 50’s this morning, but not getting much warming for the day it seems.  TOK is closed on Mondays and I’m not going to one of the other places, so I’ll just have to sip on my own dam coffee this morning it looks like.  Tomorrow the original TOK is supposed to be reopening at Larry’s after the lady who actually runs the place has recovered from her surgery.  I imagine that it will take some time to get things working again down there.  Mama J’s, which has hosted the alternate TOK, has been more than kind to us, and it’s a tough call – maybe I can figure out a way to visit them both from time to time.

    I’ve read that changes in barometric pressure and other weather related events have an impact on the way the worms behave.  With this cool spell, which presumably involved changes in barometric pressure, has got them climbing the walls – literally.  They seem to like to climb on the sides of the plastic bins where some condensate has accumulated and just stretch out and take life easy.  Sometimes just a few, sometimes a bunch of them.  Yesterday and today, with the weather change, they are all over the place.  Have not found any actual escapees though.  I’m keeping them in a darkened area, but during the daylight hours they all seem to go back down into the safety of the muck in the bin, and I could always just turn the light on in there and they would burrow down if there seemed to be a risk of escape.

    OK, you all have a great day now.  More later as it develops.

    A cool 60 degrees here with 68% humidity warming to the mid 70’s considerably cooler than last week but we’ll be back in the 80’s tomorrow. Not sure what kind of trouble I’ll get into today but I’m sure it’ll be fun.

    Yesterday I was watching the local news show catching up on the local weather and they had a piece on john McLemore the reporter that covered the Waco disaster and how his life and carrier was ruined by the event. Have y’all heard about him? I guess I missed this part of the story and I was focused on it for a while even after it was over. I found a link to the story;

    News Reporter John McLemore Had His Life Upended by the Waco Raid.

    John McLemore was one of the central figures in the story of the ATF raid on the Branch Davidians in Waco, but where is the reporter now?

    A new Netflix series has shed a renewed light on the 1993 raid on the Mount Carmel Center outside of Waco, Texas. The raid was conducted by the federal government against the Branch Davidians, who they knew to be hoarding firearms.

    The story made national news at the time, and John McLemore of KWTX-TV was the only local reporter on the ground who witnessed and filmed the whole thing.

    Where is John McLemore now?

    John and his team were tipped off to the fact that the ATF would be conducting its raid, which resulted in extensive violence and loss of life, with enough warning to arrive at the scene. As a result, John’s team filmed the entire raid, and he occasionally interjected with commentary on what they were experiencing. In the aftermath of the firefight, four federal agents and five Branch Davidians had died. John then transported some of the wounded to the hospital.

    In the aftermath of the raid, John became something of a celebrity as one of only a few people who could speak to what happened during the raid. Eventually, though, reports emerged suggesting that John had warned the Branch Davidians in advance that the raid would be taking place. He was seen as an accomplice, and many viewed him as partially responsible for the death of the federal agents.

    As a side-bar; the guy that tipped off the Davidians was a rural mailman that lived in the compound, he was one of them. The ATF had trouble finding the compound and stopped the mailman to ask for directions not knowing who he was.

    After that, he received numerous death threats and even lost his job. John has always denied the allegations and even sued several of the stations that reported that he had tipped off the Branch Davidians. Ultimately, though, John lost that lawsuit.

    Because he couldn’t be hired by another news outlet, John became a congressional press secretary and then eventually became the director of corporate communications at Life Partners, Inc.

    He then took a role as senior advisor of global public affairs and crisis communications at ConocoPhillips. In 2014, John opened McLemore P.R. Consulting LLC, a consulting firm that provides guidance to organizations on interacting with the public and the government.

    He currently lives in Houston, Texas, and appears to be single at least for the moment. Although his news reporting career may have ended after Waco, he certainly landed on his feet.

    I’ll add the report I saw, the interviewer asked McLemore if he could get in a time machine and go back to day 1 would he just call in sick that day and he said NO! I’d not do anything different I covered the story and preserved the history of what was playing out on a day by day basis.

    I’m still shredding all the paper (that I am legally allowed) from my office.  I found my youth retreat stuff, and amongst all the lesson plans and handouts, I found the worship aid.

    I forgot how much I like Rich Mullins’ music.  These are two songs we used as part of our prayer time:

    Hold Me, Jesus

    That Where I Am, You May Also Be

    I need to find my CD and play it again.  He had some good music on that release.

    GJT, wouldn’t you love to have this mower? Restored Kubota W5021-SC Walk-behind mower.

    Spotted over yonder owner says;

    Not what I usually see posted on here, but I thought I’d share my freshly restored Kubota W5021-SC Walk-behind mower. My dad bought this mower new back in 1989 or 1990. I’ve been using it since I was a kid and it’s the first mower I ever used. After having to crack the cases to replace the PTO pin, which sheared off, I decided to give it a well-deserved refresh. Very little has had to be replaced over all these years, just the wheels and now the PTO pin. I decided to put a new grass bag on it as well, though the old one was still functional. Been a great mower and look forward to another 35yrs with it.

    FWI; I didn’t know Kubota ever dabbled in push mowers but the competition in that market is brutal. That was about the time Name Brand Mower companies, Snapper, Yazoo, Toro and Lawn Boy started making junk and putting their name on them to sell at lower prices.

    Here is another shot.

    I just found that a movie about Mullins was made, titled “Ragamuffin”.

    He was a rising star in the music industry, then gave it all up to teach music on a Navajo reservation.  Killed in a car crash in 1997.

    Such a loss.  To this world, anyway.

    Let’s see what Coffee & Covid has for us today:

    REVIVED ☙ Monday, April 24, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS

    Roundup:

    Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday, which means it’s time to kick off the week with a terrific roundup! Your stack of news today includes: lots of Proxy War news, as game-changing technology hits the battlefields, leaving the U.S. with its military pants down; underground NATO bunker in Ukraine, along with hundreds of top military officials, may have been wiped out by Russia in March; a theory on all the recent Ukraine leaks and how the US can get out of dodge; NATO doubles down on Ukrainian membership; top NATO official accidentally admits Putin’s war theory was correct; Ukraine starts talks with US energy companies, suggesting an end to war; yet another mask study links chronic mask-wearing to long-covid injuries (reprinted from Sunday); and maybe the best news of all, worldwide religious revival appears to be a possibility.

    News:

    The Big Intel Leak has news that China is more dangous than we thought, with weapons we don’t have nor have defenses for:

    One of the leaked Minecraft Papers is a top-secret report dated February 28th, written by the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s intelligence directorate. It stated China’s military successfully tested a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile called the DF-27. The daily intelligence update explained, “The DF-27 is designed to enhance [China’s] ability to hold targets at risk beyond the Second Island Chain and possesses a high probability of penetrating U.S.” ballistic missile defense.

    It travels up to 8,000 kilometers at up to five times faster than the speed of sound, is maneuverable, and can evade our current anti-missile systems. In other words, it’s a carrier-killer.

    Some people are saying the DF-27 instantly made our carrier fleet obsolete.

    Gaetz challned the Pentagon to explain why we can’t defend ourselves: https://twitter.com/RepMattGaetz/status/1648370030956933120

    Representative Gaetz angrily concluded, “For the last 30 years, the United States has been building aircraft carriers that will never get into the fight.” The lawmaker’s questioning — and a top admiral’s reluctant answers — made it perfectly clear the Biden Administration knew about the country’s hypersonic shortfall since early 2021, and failed to do anything about it.

    AND FAILED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!  In the meantime, our military members get harangued about pronouns.

    And now, not only China has them:

    While the emphasis seems to be on China, which just completed successful missile tests, two days ago, an article in Consortium News confirmed that Russia has ALREADY deployed hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in Ukraine, but did not say where:

    Another area receiving extensive Pentagon attention is hypersonics, because such projectiles will fly so fast and maneuver with such skill (while skimming atop the atmosphere’s outer layer) that they should be essentially impossible to track and intercept. Both China and Russia already possess rudimentary weapons of this type, with Russia reportedly firing some of its hypersonic Kinzhal missiles into Ukraine in recent months.

    I’ll pose this question: since Russia already has battlefield-capable hypersonic weapons, but China is just completing testing, did Russia give China some hypersonic technology as part of the deal to recruit China’s military assistance?

    Maybe I should be learning Mandarin or Russian instead of Latin.

    Altogether, I think it is safe to assume, absent contrary evidence, that the United States has been caught flat-footed by a superior military technology that probably instantly rendered an entire generation of warfare obsolete. What this means for the Proxy War, or for Taiwan, remains to be seen.

    The next story is prefaced with Childers’ admission that it hasn’t been confirmed, though the linked video is making the rounds.  I think Mr. C. is right – if true, this report will be repressed, oppressed, depressed, and in general squelched and covered up by a willing and compliant media:

    What we DO know is that Ukraine (apparently assisted by US forces) conducted an attack on a civilian neighborhood inside Russian borders in February. We also know that Russia has recently used hypersonic Kinzhal missiles in Ukraine. The highly-suggestive but unverifiable part is the claim that Russia retaliated by attacking Kiev (or Lviv) with six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, destroying a 120-meter-deep military bunker housing 100-300 top Ukraine and NATO generals, who were leading Ukraine’s military campaign until they were hypersonically snuffed out.

    https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4966ca5f-7c76-412a-969d-6e94ed4985af_1168x928.png

    NATO GENERALS!  Well, this won’t go over well with our allies.

    Various sources claim the NATO bunker was busted in late Feburary, days after the Ukraine-led terrorist attack on Russian civilians. That would put the slaughter of nearly all Ukraine’s top general and their NATO facilitators just a few days preceding the Minecraft Papers initial leak on Discord on March 4th.

    Isn’t THAT interesting?

    And a few weeks later, Sy Hersh got an anonymous insider scoop on the story about the $400 million stolen by Zelensky and his top generals — including details from inside a top-secret meeting between the former comedian and the head of the CIA, even quoting what was said at the meeting. Who could’ve been the source?

    Between the two leaks, is the Deep State deep-sixing Ukraine?

    The story about the NATO attack wasn’t confined to that single video report. The story also appeared in foreign media:

    /snip

    So here’s a theory. The U.S. has a hypersonic problem, racing straight at our military…If the Russians have proved their hypersonic missiles are battlefield-effective, bypassing Ukraine’s previously-reliable air defense systems to destroy a deep underground military base housing top commanders, and if the Chinese hypersonic capacity is also coming online, the war calculus MUST shift.

    It has to. All the priorities need to be re-shuffled until the U.S. develops effective countermeasures, which are unlikely to be available to Ukraine in any helpful period of time.

    But it would be political suicide for Biden to suddenly pull the plug on U.S. support for Ukraine after what happened in Afghanistan…. Rank and file dems have been spun up to conceive of the Proxy War as an ultimate life-or-death battle to save worldwide democracy, an existential struggle justifying the risk of global thermonuclear war. Therefore, before we can end Ukraine support,… the deep state must first undermine the political support it previously created for the Proxy War.

    And so here’s the question: were the Minecraft Papers and the Sy Hersh leaks actually limited hangouts intended to soften Proxy War support? The Minecraft Papers — which called the hypersonic deficit into Congressional view — they suggest the war CAN’T possibly be won, and the Sy Hersh leak explains WHY the war SHOULDN’T be won, since it has exposed the Ukrainian commanders as untrustworthy thieves and grifters.

    The two recent, unprecedented leaks are two legs of the classic Aristotelian argument: logos (logic) and ethos (ethics). That only leaves pathos (emotions).

    Remember – libs run on emotions, while conservatives tend to be more logical in their thinking.   I am reminded of a phrase used by some friends of mine: “Emotions are information, not instruction.”  I am reminded of my Beloved East Texas Aunt, who couldn’t understand why I was so against allowing a tidal wave of illegal kids flow over the border: “Don’t you have any feelings for those children?” Almost in tears.  She couldn’t accept my explanation that we can’t feed the whole world, and we’d be better off helping their home countries develop a capitalistic economy so their folks could build their own futures.  But no, she couldn’t see that.

    The next news section discusses how we’ve been poking the bear.  Stupidly.  Thoughtlessly.  And Ukraine is trying to talk major fossil fuel (gasp!) companies about opening for business in Ukraine.  Mr. C. discusses that, too, but if I were CEO of a major company, I’d be more than a little shy about starting to build in (1) a war zone or (2) land that may be Russia-owned in the near future.

    I have to keep remembering who wins in the end.

    Next up in Jab News:

    The UK Times ran a story about a doctor, after assuring his wife that the jab was safe, died ten days later.  And the inquest showed that it was from the jab itself.

    A story illustrating the dangers of an experimental, untested “treatment” that was proclaimed “safe and effective” from the rooftops?  Another example of the media turning because the “excessive mortality” rates are getting harder to ignore:

    The story reported Dr. Wright, one of the first to receive the experimental shots, experienced the “normal” side effects …

    Anyway, nine days after taking the jab he complained of a headache, and took a painkiller so he could go to work. 24 hours and a short hospital stay later, he was dead as a doornail.

    On the day he died, Mrs. Wright helped her ailing husband …, but… she could not come with him to the hospital. “I could see he was pretty terrified but was not wanting to worry me,” she recalled. “We managed to say we loved each other twice before he left.”

    …at first, she was invited to appear on a leading morning TV show to talk about her husband’s death. But her appearance was abruptly cancelled since, she was told, it might deter people from taking the vaccine.

    You don’t say. Why give people information? They might start to question the “safe and effective” gag.

    The young doctor’s condition rapidly worsened, with a fatal combination of brainstem infarction and a brain bleed. (Like Jamie Foxx.) Mrs. Wright said his neurologist assiduously assured her that fortunately, her husband’s untimely death was “absolutely not” linked to the vaccine. The death certificate also recorded he died from “spontaneous” natural causes.

    Liars!

    “Nobody would listen, nobody would let me speak,” Mrs. Wright told the Times. …

    Kudos to the Times for running the sixteen-month-old story, but it was also quick to point out how “rare” side effects like Dr. Wright’s are. The Times completely missed the point. Sooner or later, we’ll know how rare they were, who cares what the Times thinks about that.

    What the story SHOULD have been about is all the lying officials and jab experts who gaslit Mrs. Wright for a year and a half while she fed her fatherless babies from the food bank.

    Indeed.

    And then Childers has this masking update:

    It seems like the hits just won’t stop for the masks lately. The Daily Mail UK ran an explosive story Saturday headlined, “EXCLUSIVE: Face Masks May Raise Risk of Stillbirths, Testicular Dysfunction and Cognitive Decline Due to Build-Up of Carbon Dioxide, Study Warns.”

    That’s right. Masks.  It’s not just the jab that’s affecting fertility.  Even for you guys out there.  That dead air space between your face and the mask increases the carbon dioxide level (duh!) and has this result:

    According to the researchers, repeated exposure to those levels of CO₂ increase the risks of a long list of serious problems including stillbirths, low sperm production, cognitive impairment, and permanent mental declines, especially in children.

    /snip

    Another way to look at these results is, for men, long term masking is equivalent to punching themselves right in the family jewels, over and over and over.

    /snip

    Then comes the sources cites from several studies, illustrating the dangers of long term masking…

    The academic evidence linking lower fertility to slightly elevated CO₂ rates was so strong that the German researchers opined: “Circumstantial evidence exists that popular mask use may be related to current observations of a significant rise of 28 percent to 33 percent in stillbirths worldwide.”

    Think of it. What if mandatory masking policies literally decimated an entire generation?

    The study didn’t mention long covid, but their results are remarkably consistent with the last mask study I reported on April 17th, which concluded that long covid symptoms might actually be “long mask” syndrome, which they dubbed MIES, or “mask-induced exhaustion syndrome.”

    More and more, it’s looking like mandatory mask policies were not just harmless nuisances but may actually have been profoundly harmful.

    Here’s the link to the new German study.

    Here’s the link to the previous study linking masks to long covid.

    Childers ends his column with a long discussion of the growing faith that this whole WLR mess has brought up.  Folks wanting religious exemptions to avoid the jab, for one, have begun attending church services again. People needing hope in all this mess have turned to God.

    It’s a great discussion, I encourage you to read it. 

    People of faith are less like to vote in libs.  It doesn’t mean the libs won’t cheat to win an election.  As I always say: “If you can’t win in the arena of ideas, cheat.”  But it does give me hope that we can turn this country around.  Our government may fail us, but a hopeful, faithful citizenry will find a way to help each other through the chaos.

    Finding the silver lining is always a good thing:

    Either way, SOMETHING is happening, and the querulous headlines are beginning to evidence that. We’ll see if it continues, but if it does, there’s probably nothing besides a pandemic that could have accomplished a worldwide revival.

    Make absolutely sure all your doctors graduated from medical school before 2010.

    Documents obtained by Fox News Digital show that University of Texas Southwestern medical students are being taught that gender is independent of physical structure.

    Fox News Digital obtained the documents via a FOIA request from Do No Harm, a national association of medical professionals that combats “woke” activism in the healthcare system.

    According to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center’s Human Structure curriculum, they “explicitly acknowledge the differentiation between the terms sex and gender.”

    “The latter is a psychological, social, and cultural construct, including self-identification. Gender is independent of physical structure, chromosomes, or genes,” curriculum materials read.

    The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center’s Human Structure curriculum does teach in their Sex and Gender course the anatomy of the sexual organs in a binary manner.

    If you go to the UT Southwestern Medical Center school website, this is the featured press release on the front page:

    UT Southwestern Medical Center is ranked as the top health care employer for diversity in the U.S. and among the top 20 across all industries.

    Yeah, that’s what I always look for when I’m searching for the best medical care available.  What flaming, stupid BS.

    From the comments:

    And have you seen the combat training videos from all 3 countries? The USA trainees, fat and out of shape, so diverse as to have no cohesion.

    The Chinese and Russia troops are highly alpha and downright savage. Nationalistic and not self loathing like the western soy troops have become.

    There’s several compilations, but here’s a good one to cover all 3 armies. 5 mins.

    I used to call myself a socialist. I supported BLM, labor unions, Bernie and AOC. I had also left my Christian faith. Then Covid happened and nothing was making sense. I followed the censored. I came across Jonathan Cahn’s books, I started reading about Marx, Lenin, Stalin. I have done a complete 180. Reconnecting to my Christian faith has given me hope. I no longer fear what’s coming because I know in the end Good wins. God bless!!

    ***

    This whole thing about the Minecraft Papers doesn’t sound right to me. Maybe other former military can chime in. I served in the regular Air Force for six years. The last four years I had a Top Secret codeword clearance. We had lots of time on midnight shifts to scrounge through the reports and data available to us. It was VERY compartmentalized. The only thing halfway sensitive were various codebooks and frequency schedules, and some slightly out-of-date info on enemy aircraft. How in the world does a junior Air National Guard member have access to Joint Chiefs of Staff memos and reports and CIA analysis summaries. There’s no way that would be possible. What am I missing? Admittedly, my service was back a few years, but it can’t have changed that much. Other opinions?

    ***

    Plus wearing the masks deprived them of oxygen. They’re all hateful and mentally ill now. Plus their religion has been proven temporary and false. The covidiots are in turmoil. Advise them to wear 2 masks and get every shot available to them. Cull that herd.

    [That last line was vicious, but I understand the sentiment.  Let them achieve their own Darwin award.]

    ***

    The uptick in stillbirths is due to the vaccine and spike protein. The vax also kills sperm cells. Countries who are trying to pin mask wearing to the declining birth rates in their countries still won’t admit that the vaccine is the problem.

    ***

    Here’s the part that should cause us to scream yet it’s always almost an afterthought.

    “…and permanent mental declines, especially in CHILDREN.”

    I know this isn’t of consequence to most on here, but I want to bring attention to what is happening in rural northern Michigan. Saturday, a large rally was held in Green Twp, next door to Big Rapids, MI, which is home to Ferris State University. The purpose of this rally was to protest and bring awareness to a proposed electric vehicle battery plant in a rural area by Gotion, a CCP owned corporation. This company asked for 250 million in tax incentives and discretionary monies from our state. On Thursday, the new Democratic led Legislature’s appropriations committee voted 10-9 to award 175 million to Gotion. It is stated in this corporations bi-laws they are under the regulation of the CCP. US laws of regulation will not pertain. The rural township board, undoubtedly, bought off, is deferring corporate taxes for 30 years. This company wants 600 acres, about a square mile of land, a mile from the Muskegon River and all of it’s watershed. They have bought off some small farms, bullied other farmers and landowners to sell and are using eminent domain for the rest. Not one environmental impact study has been done, which is law. This plant may employ up to 2000 people but no real numbers are being given out. Everything was done under the table with the full cooperation of our governor. These are rural roads and a rural infrastructure that in no way can handle this. The environmental dangers are astronomical. This plant will be mere miles from Ferris State University with it’s 66 satellite and intelligence gathering towers, and a 100 miles from Camp Grayling, military base. They want to break ground by July! Area landowners receive notice of this 6 weeks ago! I know this is not likely a multiplier event the C&C wants to get involved in, but they are fighting it and any amount would be so appreciated. I believe it is NOGO80101. Lawrence Jones from Fox News was at the rally and did some great interviews on his Saturday evening news piece. The state news won’t touch it. If it can happen in Michigan it will be other places very soon.

    Texpat – I saw that story and was going to make the same observation about my doctor’s graduation date.

    Just like Catholic priests, the older ones are better.

    Well, I hear that there’s a growing move toward traditional, conservative Catholicism among the young seminarians.  Perhaps there’s hope for the Church.

    But the medical field?  To be seen.

    Here’s a shocker news story:

    Study Shows Mothers of Boys With Gender Issues Are Mental

    This pilot study compared mothers of boys with gender identity disorder (GID) with mothers of normal boys to determine whether differences in psychopathology and child-rearing attitudes and practices could be identified. Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the Beck Depression Inventory revealed that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls. Fifty-three percent of the mothers of boys with GID compared with only 6% of controls met the diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder on the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines or had symptoms of depression on the Beck Depression Inventory. Results of the Summers and Walsh Symbiosis Scale suggested that mothers of probands had child-rearing attitudes and practices that encouraged symbiosis and discouraged the development of autonomy.

    The story points out that women with BPD tend to drive the fathers away.  It’s also pointed out that those men are derelict in their duties to their sons, leaving them with mentally challenged mothers – but it also doesn’t mention if the legal system assists them or hurts them if/as they attempt to get custody of their kids. Those women probably weren’t properly diagnosed and that hurts a father’s legal case for custody.

    I’m sure there are BPD fathers out there, too, but the legal system generally leans toward the mother as custodial parent.  If the sane mother has custody, those boys stand a better chance of being straight, I’m assuming.

    Another head rolls from the A-B guillotine.

    It looks like the Woke Woman’s boss got fired too.

    A second Bud Light senior marketing executive has been placed on leave following backlash and calls for a boycott over their recent partnership with popular transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, according to a report.

    Daniel Blake, who oversees marketing for Anheuser-Busch’s mainstream brands, stepped back from his role on Sunday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

    It was reported Friday that another executive — the brewer’s vice president of marketing who was behind the campaign, Alissa Heinerscheid — was taking a leave of absence.

    “Given the circumstances, Alissa has decided to take a leave of absence which we support,” an Anheuser-Busch spokeswoman told the Journal. “Daniel has also decided to take a leave of absence.”

    Thank you for posting the information about and contact for the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg.  It has thousands of visitors from near and really far a year.  Once we saw several visiting Japanese groups going through, speaking in Japanese as well as English.  Some of those were elderly and were addressed in Japanese. And of course many Americans of Japanese descent visit, some of whom do not speak Japanese.

    There is a lovely Japanese Peace Garden between the museum and the Nimitz family home, donated by Japan that has many photos and information posted on the garden walls of American soldiers and sailors who served in the Pacific War.  It is a hallowed place where most visitors politely confer on the way through.  We saw a 90-some years old veteran of that war visiting with several generations of his family.  Truly wonderful to behold.

    The museum has the actual small Japanese submarine that had entered Hawaiian waters during the war and was immediately captured intact.  It had been on open display for quite a few of our visits, but this visit there is a model of it instead.   The real one is farther down the aisle in a glass case now. It was the only Japanese submarine to get as far east as Hawaii.

    DEI has gone to the dogs as schools train Fido’s vet to be woke

    We know how far and wide CRT programming has metastasized because at our CriticalRace.org website, we track CRT and its variants, such as DEI and “antiracism” programming.

    Our interactive maps cover more than 500 colleges and universities, elite K-12 prep schools, military-service academies and medical schools.

    Major media outlets have extensively covered our research, which was even highlighted in a congressional resolution.

    It seemed that nothing shocks us anymore when it comes to CRT and its offshoots.

    But then we researched the top-ranked veterinary schools after receiving a tip on critical race theory’s spread into a particular school.

    So we dug into the data, half-seriously at first, not expecting much. Our research covered the top 11 vet schools (two schools are tied for one of the top spots, hence the odd number).

    The CRT database described in the article is run by Lawprof William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection.

    Here is their page on Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences for all your LGBTQ Non-Binary horses, cattle, chickens and dogs.

    The highly-suggestive but unverifiable part is the claim that Russia retaliated by attacking Kiev (or Lviv) with six hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, destroying a 120-meter-deep military bunker housing 100-300 top Ukraine and NATO generals, who were leading Ukraine’s military campaign until they were hypersonically snuffed out.

    The idea anybody would have 100-300 “generals” in a vulnerable bunker sounds ridiculous.  What’s more, 100-300 generals are killed and it’s had a complete media blackout across the Western world ?  Sorry, but that’s too much to swallow.  How many general rank officers does NATO and the Ukraine have anyway ?

    We do know in March Russia attacked and destroyed an underground munitions depot with a single Kinzhal missile.  It was tracked by US satellites and highly publicized.

    #15 GJT, Some of the more expensive (push) mowers back in the 80’s had a separate auxiliary (PTO) horizontal drive shaft coming out of the lower side of the vertical shaft engine. It was small, about 3/8 diameter and drove the front/rear wheels. I’m guessing that this Kubota had sheared a pin on that shaft. I don’t remember which brand/brands had this feature and I tried to find a picture on-line but couldn’t.

    Just a note of warning.

    Seymour “Sy” Hersh has been around forever and continues to live off the fame of breaking the My Lai Massacre story in Viet Nam over 50 years ago.  Hersh has been known to be wrong and to have possibly stretched the truth.  His reputation is to trust suspect anonymous sources without solid corroboration.  He’s been known to break true stories and then get the background facts wrong.

    With Sy, you might trust, but you better verify.

    And a few weeks later, Sy Hersh got an anonymous insider scoop on the story about the $400 million stolen by Zelensky and his top generals — including details from inside a top-secret meeting between the former comedian and the head of the CIA, even quoting what was said at the meeting. Who could’ve been the source?

    Tucker Out At Fox

    Fox News announced Monday that it is parting ways with Daily Caller co-founder and Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

    “FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” Fox said in a statement. “We thank him for this service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”

    “Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named.”

    The breaking news comes just days after the media outlet announced it was parting ways with host Dan Bongino.

    Bongino, who hosted “Unfiltered with Dan Bongino” on Saturday nights and “Canceled in the USA” on Fox Nation, departed the outlet after failing to come to an agreement to extend his contract.

    Bongino said on his podcast the decision was “tough” but “we couldn’t come to terms on an extension.”

    “It’s a sad day,” Bongino said. “The most important events in my life I learned about on Fox News.”

    SO Fox caved to the Deep State?!?! I can’t believe this. 🙁

    Been very busy lately. Was over in Red Stick for a wedding this weekend. Groom is one very very lucky (and deserving) dude. They’re both about 27 years old. He does some sort of corporate finance and she’s about to be a radiologist. She’s wrapping up med school at LSU, then they’re moving here for her residency.

    Wasn’t able to attend the actual wedding. The venue they chose was apparently very tiny (chapel that seated about 30-40) and some of the attendants had to sit on folding chairs at the end of the pews. She’s a very devout Catholic, so their wedding was a full nuptial mass. We were disappointed about not being able to be there, but the rest was a good time.

    The rehearsal dinner was at an eclectic little bar/restaurant under a bridge somewhere. The “signature drinks” were: old fashioned (natch), some sort of pink concoction, and these habanero margaritas that were insanely good. Too good for my own good. Saturday was a very slow-motion day. Fortunately the reception was in her parents’ back yard, so it stayed pretty sane. I shudder to think what my liver would be like had it been at a different venue. Overall it was a picture perfect weekend for a wedding and outdoor festivities. It only got cool and cloudy yesterday morning.

    Fox Corporation stock fell as much as 5% on Monday and erased $930 million in market value after it was announced that Fox News Media parted ways with host Tucker Carlson. 

    Shares of the media company recovered slightly and were trading at $29.61, down almost 4% at 12:15 p.m. ET.

    The split between Carlson and Fox News comes just one week after the company settled a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for $788 million due to the network’s spread of misinformation related to the 2020 Presidential election and unfounded claims of election fraud.

    Carlson has long been one of the most popular hosts at Fox News, with the conservative talk show personality’s 8pm show consistently being the most watched news show on cable TV.

    The stock’s falling, leading an acquaintance to comment “$800m settlement for the vote fraud stuff with Dominion, and FOX just zapped $1bil from its market cap in the last 10 min.”

    My first thought on the generals in the bunker story was “100m?!? That’s pretty dang deep.”

    iirc, the bombs we used for that purpose in Iraq were very heavy (~5,000 lb), having been made out of 203mm (8”) gun tubes filled with explosives. This weapon can get through about 50m of earth or about 5m of reinforced concrete. I would be shocked if the RV of any missile could have that kind of energy AND structural integrity.

    Okay, more I’m jealous of Bsue.

    I was in prayer in my garden and missed the first breaking of the Tucker news.

    Fox just stepped in a big pile of doo-doo. A pile of their own making.

    Buy stock in Newsmax.

    And I agree with the radio folks… Tucker will land in his feet. The guy is wealthy enough to never have to work again, but I expect he’ll find or make a new place for himself. And bring his loyal team members with him. At times like this I feel for the behind the scenes folks who lose their jobs.

    Could Tucker be the next Rush? Rush was able to read the liberal tea leaves like no other, but Tucker has the potential to move elections like Rush did.

    addendum: the W78 Mk12A warhead/RV on a Minuteman III weighs between about 500 & 800 (classified info, this is the range of estimates) lb.

    Bunker busting nukes can penetrate about 20m of earth or 2m of reinforced concrete. These are not warheads; they’re too heavy for an ICBM, weighing around 2,500-3,500 lb. These are delivered via manned bombers.

    I would guess these “hypersonic” weapons would have to have very light warheads in order for them to be launched to the high altitude they would need to be “flown” at and for them to be as “nimble” as these news stories suggest. I’ll even go so far as to say they’re not very maneuverable at all. Flying that fast from a sub-orbital altitude would give it very little time to reaquire the target after exiting the reentry ionization. Any adjustments in course would need to be made very quickly and could not alter the trajectory too much without a very stout structure to be able to withstand the g load and the additional heat load caused by different aerodynamic loads.

    I heard on Chris Salcedo this morning that the Dems are NOT having any primary debates.  At least for the presidential race.  I guess that also means the VP debates are disappeared, too.

    Debates have become such a staple in the electoral pantry, I can’t imagine an election being conducted without one.

    But then, if you plan on running Biden again, hiding him in the Oval is the closest thing to a basement they have.  And it says something that it’s better to keep your candidate from being challenged in public than to allow him to speak freely.

    I’ve been catching videos of Brits eating American food for the first time.  I didn’t know that beans on toast was a celebrated breakfast over there, but okay.

    The last one I saw was two teenage Brits touring in America to experience various American cuisines.  They were in Georgia, in some little Mom & Pop eatery with a great reputation for good food (the governor visits their for their southern version of Brunswick stew).

    The chef cooking for them was on Master Chef, and tours with a charity group of chefs that cook food in distressed areas, such as after storms or in other disaster areas.  I think he flies (has flown already) to Ukraine to feed people there.  He cooked up some wings and other southern dishes for them, and the Brit boys were floored with the flavor.

    Then they brought out the pecan pie.  They’d never had it before.  They dang near fell off their chairs.

    But while Scarborough was nice about all this, Brzezinski allegedly was not. In fact, she started recording her just like an annoying “Karen” might do.

    “Mika was not very pleasant. She started recording me, unbeknownst to me, which is fine. And when I called her out, are you recording this, she said yes. And Joe said, ‘Don’t do that.’ He was a little bit perturbed that she was recording. But I just said, ‘Look, I’m the human being behind the person you guys like to bash 24/7, and that’s ok. but I just wanted to introduce myself,’” Lake recalled.

    Concluding her story, Lake again stressed how Scarborough had acted like a perfect gentleman whereas his wife had acted like an uncouth jackass.

    I keep a sheet on my recliner as a washable cover. I looked the other day and there’s this big ol blood spot on it. Where the hell did that come from? I looked everywhere.

    Days later I noticed the wound on the back side of my arm above the elbow.

    Probably did it pruning the yaupon three weeks ago.

    I think the sheet is probably ruined.

    #80 Shannon – if you haven’t washed and dried it yet, put hydrogen peroxide on it… It’ll bubble and fizz, just like when you pour it on a wound on your arm… Of course, if it’s a colored sheet, it may take the color out, too – but sometimes just the blood… I used to use it all the time to get blood out of my scrubs

    Thanks, BSue.

    Yeah, I watched Fay trying to save hers, too.

    The sooner you tend to it, the higher the chance of success.

    Speaking of bleeding… the Astros are gonna need a lot more than hydrogen peroxide to clean up the memories of this game. Good GRIEF

    Forklift running in the aisles had some device that cast a red LED circle behind it on the ground about six feet in circumference as a caution to customers around. Pretty need idea.

    That is a neat idea.

    I looked the other day and there’s this big ol blood spot on it. Where the hell did that come from? I looked everywhere.

    Yup that is almost a daily occurrence here. I keep some blue shop towels and a roll of Duck tape in the Mule so I can keep the blood off me, my clothes and the equipment. I don’t mind the wound so much but I do hate the gallon of blood that comes with it. 😉

    Brian Kilmeade took Tuckers place tonight and he’s OK but no Tucker Carlson. Will Cain has been subbing for Watter’s since his wife had a baby girl last week. At least he’s better than Brian.

    The crossword that I worked this morning is on my desk and I backed into; “Wonder Woman” star = Galgadot! WTH is a Galgadot? I thought Wonder Woman was Lynda Carter, you know with the anti-aircraft artillery. 😀

    Gal Gadot was once Miss Israel.  She is a world famous model and also an actress.

    Here’s some photos.

    I’m hearing rumors that the folks at Budweiser have fired the doofus who hired the looney tune who in turn signed off on the pervert that thinks he’s a teen age girl.

    I covered the story in my comment at 9:47 AM this morning.

    Daniel Blake, who oversees marketing for Anheuser-Busch’s mainstream brands, stepped back from his role on Sunday, according to the Wall Street Journal.

    The Florida legislature just passed a statewide law to enable all parents in the state to choose whatever public or private school they want their children to attend.

    The NEA and AFT say DeSantis is Hitler as they hysterically run around with their granny panties on fire.

    School choice has never not been a big deal to the vast general public…for decades.

    Shannon check out the Wonder Woman movies Gal starred in. She has a little bit more meat on her compared to those older modeling pics.

    The New York Post had a gallery of photos of all these celebrities, male and female and unknown, who went to this Coachella thing out in the California desert.

    So totally wasting my time I clicked through them all, about 50 or 60 photos.  Even I was shocked at how homely and unattractive most of these people are.  To make it worse, they seemed to be in some kind of contest to see who could wear the ugliest and dumbest looking costumes and outfits.  It was the post modern, anti-beauty campaign on parade.

    One thing that stood out were the several famous models who were photographed in groups of people and it showed how emaciated they really are in person.  When you see them in fashion layouts and ads, they are never next to normal looking folks for a reason.  A couple of the Victoria Secret models looked like they were seriously anorexic and should be headed to a hospital.

    Gotta give a big Hat Tip to
    Misanthropic Humanitarian over on ACE   (various emphases Mine)

    Tonight’s Message of The Day
    I believe more and more people are starting to feel the way I do.

    I never cared if you were “gay” or whatever acronym you chose to call yourself, until you started wanting special privileges.I never cared what color your skin was, until you started blaming me for your problems.I never cared about your political affiliation, until you started to condemn me for mine.

    I never cared where you were from in this great Republic, until you began condemning people based on where they were born and the history that makes them who they are.

    I have never cared if you were well off or poor, because I’ve been both, until you started calling me names for working hard to make a better life for myself.

    I’ve never cared if your beliefs are different than mine, until you said my beliefs are wrong.

    I’ve never cared if you didn’t like guns, until you tried to take my guns away.

    Now, I care!

    I’ve given all the tolerance I have to give. This is no longer my problem, it’s your problem. You can still fix it, it’s not too late, but it needs to be soon.

    I’m a very patient person. But I’m running out of patience. There are literally Tens of Millions of people just like me that are sick of all the Anti-American crap!

    I’ve always cared about life, and all lives, but now you try to force the notion on me and other fellow citizens and patriots that certain lives matter more than others. You protest, riot, attack, burn, and loot. Your so-called “movement” has become a radical out-of-control bunch of thugs, criminals, and anarchists who are intent on destroying our Country.

    The masses have had enough! America is the greatest country on Earth, and if you don’t like America then we invite you to leave. We are done caring about your misguided “feelings.”

    You don’t have the right to enjoy American freedoms if you are trying to take that right away from me or other Americans.
