71% of the illegals are being sent to change the make-up of traditionally Republican areas. Shocker! /sarc off
He [Trump] tried to add a question requiring them to check off a box indicating they were here illegally. The Democrats reacted extremely badly, calling everyone involved racist.
The reason for that is apparent. Democrats don’t want you to know how many illegal aliens are in the country. Illegal aliens are counted in the House representation, and Democrats are trying to give them all amnesty. If they get amnesty and citizenship, the will overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Soon, foreigners, many unvetted, will decide America’s future, voting for the neo-Democrat party.
As I keep saying, Republicans need to try to change minds: remind the incoming illegals what they are running away from, and tie that millstone around the neck of the Democrat party. “Do you really want this country to become like your original home? If you do, vote Democrat. Then where will you go?”

I have somehow ended up on another substack, and I usually skip them, but this one about methylene blue caught my eye. See the post for links to the medical studies.
I had not heard of the spike protein being an aging agent, but according to this researcher, it runs along the lines of the progeria disease. He discusses the uses of methylene blue in treating various diseases like progeria, Parkinsons, etc. I had not heard of the spike being an amyloid plaque producer, but nothing surprises me about this any more.
MB may be useful in treating the spike.
This is my most important Friday Hope post to date.
As readers of my research now know, all my work has essentially shown that the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 induces all the hallmarks of aging. It is essentially a rapid cellular aging agent. In searching for ways to counter these deleterious effects of the Spike Protein Methylene Blue (MB) appears to be a prodigious candidate.
***
For those interested, please search my Substack as I hypothesize that the Spike Protein itself is most likely a self-assembling amyloid. Therefore, via the same mechanism, MB should have the same therapeutic benefits.
I have also observed that the Spike Protein causes accelerated aging, in line with those suffering from Progeria disease. Once again, MB has the ability to ameliorate this accelerated aging phenotype.
***
Additionally, MB is able to effectively treat the Mitochondrial damage caused by the Spike Protein. This not only should help in those suffering the acute phase of COVID, but also those suffering from Long COVID.
Please note that the Mitochondrial damage referred to, I have also identified as being very similar, or parallel to Radiation damage.
***
The big picture? I believe HOW MB works in treating Spike Protein/COVID pathology is a testament to the true nature of the Spike Protein – a Witness. From the beginning I have believed and proven that, ultimately, the Spike Protein is a rapid aging agent. By observing what works AGAINST it, we can understand what it IS.
***
As with all medications, consult a doctor first. This is the first time I’ve heard of MB in the same sentence as the spike. Interesting. But then, I didn’t know anything about treatments for progeria, either.
-
Methylene Blue has been used for years to fight fungal infections/ich in aquariums.
Remember the frenzy during the coof lockdowns about the couple who poisoned themselves using the fish version? There are always going to be idiots out there, but that doesn’t invalidate the potential positive of MB being used to treat the spike protein.
-
I thought the aquarium folks mistook the fish chemical that had a name similar to HCQ’s name. Turns out it wasn’t the same thing at all.
I remember the surviving wife trying to blame Trump for telling them to take it. I wonder what ever happened to her? Did she go to jail for killing her husband? Hmmm…..
-
It was “chloroquine phosphate”. Well, one part of the name matches, anyway.
I found out in another article that she was a democrat. Well, that fits.

I have to leave soon, and the C&C just dropped:

Can’t find a good linkable link but In-N-Out Burger has issued a new policy banning employees from wearing masks unless they have a doctor’s orders to wear one. All locations except for, you guessed it – Kalifornia.

Ah, you’re right, Tedtam. I misremembered the specific chemical in question. And good question about whether or not the wife faced any charges.

I’ve come to prefer In-N-Out over Whataburger. Double Double protein style, animal style FTW.

Wow, I’m up EARLY FOR ME and whoever-it-is-that-Our-Loony-Professor calls us! I collected a fecal sample from my cat Matsuo at 10 p,m. last night, got it in its labelled test tube, and stored in the fridge overnight. Got up at 8 a.m. and called the vet, then headed over there. Bad news: a very long train between Chez Harp and my vet. But after delivery, I returned home, went ahead and had breakfast, and now I am too sleepy to stay up. Thus: later, chickadees.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Everything is starting out here bright and beautiful today. Ah, to be enjoyed even though the daily temperature high will nudge 100 again. And probably for the next week as well, but it is July after all as the weather folk explain. A nice wind is gracing our area now, so all is not lost to heat—yet. So keep the fridge making ice cubes.

I highly recommend watching the video from lawyer Childers’ C&C. It is of one, seriously p*ssed off Member of European Parliament, Christine Anderson of Germany. We could use more like her in the USA.
Expand the screen full page and enjoy the rage.
You will really like what she has to say to the World Health Organization.
You will definitely like what she said in this speech in 2021.
You might even say she was kicking A$$.

Shannon from last night..
My 28-year-old single-wide trailer house appraisal increased by 76% this year.
Surely you intend to contest this appraisal.

When I was 30 years old in 1982, the Houston area was full of $35,000 homes and you could buy one with a couple of thousands bucks down.
Twenty years ago, the median home cost less than $200,000, and banks routinely approved mortgages for half that amount. Today, the median home costs $437,000, and buyers struggle to find banks that will write mortgages for less than $150,000.
Instead, many buyers turn to alternative financing, a universe of personal property loans, lease-purchase agreements, land contracts and seller-financed mortgages. Typically, those transactions are both riskier and costlier than a mortgage, and they fall outside the regulatory cocoon that protects homebuyers from fraud and trickery.
What if you sell a house in Colorado and end up with $400,000 equity and want to put the whole thing down on a $550,000 piece of property in Texas ? Nobody is going to underwrite that mortgage ?
“It’s gotten hard for lenders to originate mortgages under about $150,000 profitably, because the size of a mortgage is a major factor in how much revenue the lender earns,” said Alex Horowitz, a project director at The Pew Charitable Trusts who studies housing.
The fixed costs of a mortgage have risen dramatically in recent years, from about $3,700 in 2009 to $10,600 in 2022, Horowitz said.
Those $35K houses in 1982 adjusted for inflation would cost $110,661.30 in today’s dollars using a rate of 216.20% over the last 41 years.
And yet the median cost of homes in America today is $437,000 ? Granite countertops, composite decks and fancy bathrooms aren’t the explanation.

I too would like to know how this exemption for US military academies was included in the recent landmark anti-affirmative action ruling by the US Supreme Court.
However, embedded within the majority opinion is a brief footnote (footnote 4). It touches on the question—left unanswered by the Court—of whether the prohibition on the use of race in admissions applies to our nation’s service academies. It reads:
4. The United States as amicus curiae contends that race-based admissions programs further compelling interests at our Nation’s military academies. No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context. This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present (emphasis added).
This raises two questions: First, how do we, as a nation, go forward in our collective effort to “eliminat[e] all [racial discrimination]” ? And second, can there be any justification for exempting our nation’s military academies from SFFA’s prohibition on using race in admissions decisions ?
The answer is an emphatic no.
What the hell were they thinking ?

If I’m doing the math right, using your numbers, an $8,000 car in 1982 should be around $17K but they are more like $30K now.

Vehicles from 1982 are rapidly diminishing in existence hence the value goes up because there are fewer around.
There are millions more homes in America than existed in 1982.

Oh, I get you, I was comparing new to new.

I finally returned home. I passed a corn field on my way back. It was toast. I’m talking brown and crispy from root to top. The only stuff they are getting out of there is popcorn and cute fodder. If that.

Roadside vendor was selling Texas freestone peaches in town, so I bought three.
-
#16 Shannon,
The peach crop from around Fredericksburg was not the best this year. We learned that on our spring visit there. I suppose it hasn’t recovered much since then. The wacky winter weather was the cause the growers said: fewer blossoms and smaller and less fruit growth was the result. Really disappointing for growers and peach lovers. We did bring home peach preserves from the previous year that were normal.
We’re planning on a fall visit near Halloween this year as well. Fredericksburg is our favorite get-away place for scenery, good food, great shopping, and the small-town atmosphere. Also the Admiral Nimitz Museum.
-
Although they do get some pretty good peaches out of Canada for a short time up here, they have no clue how good is a Texas freestone peach.
Shannon and I were raised by a lady who waited all year long, every year, for those freestone peaches to show up. Shortly after the fresh were gone, the canned freestones would show up and she would buy several cans for special occasions. The canned freestones would last a couple of weeks at the most before they would disappear off the shelves.

Tedtam @ 3:37 PM
The last time I sat around talking to some South Texas farmers, they started grinning when I mentioned their burned up corn crops. They told me the federal crop insurance program was lucrative enough they usually made more money off the fed payouts than harvesting and selling a finished crop of corn.
I met a Texas Dept. of Agriculture official at a dinner party one time and we spent quite a bit of time talking. He was part of a project trying to convince farmers in the state to plant different crops and wean themselves off the corn cycle. He said it was endlessly frustrating because his biggest obstacle was the federal government and their crop insurance that was like “crack” to these farmers.
If there exists any way in the universe to screw everything up, the US federal government will find it, cultivate and promote it. It is what is called “perverse incentives”.
-
There is something very special about those peaches, and surely a horticologist could explain it. Is it the pollen, or the amount of daylight it gets, or the water it drinks, or the soil it lives in, or all of these? The trees are most lovely in the springtime when their blossoms are out at their best and toward the harvest when the fruit makes the branches bend a little more and sway in the wind a little more. Lots of good things come in nature’s simple packages.
-
I got a letter from CoH today that they want to install “speed cushions” on several streets to the east of my subdivision. The major boundary streets are Tidwell, TC Jester, De Soto, and Wheatley — sort of the southern-most patch of Acres Homes. The cushions are some rubber blobs to be erected in the streets that encourage goofy drivers to slow down. The cushions will ONLY be on the northern boundary street De Soto and the interior streets — which I think are mostly vacant lots, churches, and housing.
It seems odd to me for CoH to ask surrounding areas to approve the speed controls when it is so very unlikely that anyone who doesn’t live there would care.
-
Most of the corn crops that you see are allowed to dry out in the field.
These are crops grown for feed and fuel and are not Sweet Corn for your table – which is harvested much earlier…in the “milk stage”.

I stopped by the eggery today since it was only somewhat out of the way. The manager on duty was able to put together a case of misfits for me. Misfit eggs come in all shapes and sizes, but they all have some defect that prevents them from being sold in retail stores. The defect could be shape, size, or shell quality (some of the shells aren’t the right color or feel scaly). I like the misfits since I think that overall, I get more bang for my buck. And it’s like Christmas, opening the box and seeing what’s inside. I haven’t been in quite a while. I was told the last time that the best time to acquire a case of misfit eggs was in the afternoon, and I wasn’t disappointed today.
I just went through them, and along with a flat of undersized eggs – some of them golf ball size – I have about ten dozen eggs that vary from medium size to (a majority of them) between large and super jumbo size. Some barely fit into my egg cartons.
First, I’m gong to crack and scramble the small ones and run them through Fred. The rest will be processed or eaten as the days go on.

The European media is going berserk over their heat wave. Screaming headlines say 118°F temps across Europe.
I go to Weather Underground and enter Pozallo, Sicily, Italy which is about even with Algiers, Algeria latitude wise and is as far south as you can go and still be in Italy. The highs for the next 10 days are 96°F to 101°F.
Okay, that is hot, but it is not 118+°F, not even close. I’ve been in 118-120°F and I know the difference.

Why do farmers leave corn dying in the field?

After church, I have been known to swing by the Tap Room on the Bellville square for a quick glass of wine.
On Saturday nights, different food trucks/or trailers park in front of the Tap Room and serve their goods.
Tonight there was one I hadn’t seen before. A trailer with a wood fired pizza oven. Serving Neapolitan pizza.
I love that kind of pizza.
Yes, I ate the whole thing.

Yes. Yes, I know. I know David Crosby may be the least respectable of his peer group.

I found myself at the Rose Bowl bowling alley in Brenham last weekend. My old BFF freaked out when I told him that Fay and my first date included a couple of games there.
I took her to a Crosby, Stills, and Nash concert, too.
Probably 35 years ago.
-
Neither of us ever bowled again.
I found out my left knee didn’t like bowling anymore. And she was already losing grip strength.

Greg Norman – the Tucker Carlson of pro golf. Let’s just say Ron Price hates Greg Norman.
It wasn’t a surprise to learn that PGA Tour executives were pushing for Norman to be removed during early negotiations. A May 25 side letter to the framework agreement proposed by the PGA Tour, which was released by the subcommittee, revealed that the tour wants Norman and Performance54, a London-based marketing and consultant group that is helping run the LIV Golf League, out of the equation once the deal is finalized.
Talking points drafted for PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan for his announcement of the June 6 deal to the policy board noted that “Norman will be assigned to an advisory role determined by the PIF when the PGA Tour becomes the manager of the LIV Tour.”
A LIV Golf official told ESPN on Tuesday that it was the league’s understanding that the side letter wasn’t signed and that PIF officials had rejected the idea of removing Norman and Performance54.
But Price told Blumenthal during the hearing that Norman’s role will be eliminated if the tour takes control of LIV Golf.
We’ll see who has the biggest sword in this fight. Ron Price, CEO of the PGA Tour, thinks he is the stud duck in this deal, but I don’t see the Saudis rolling over for this guy. The Saudis are masters of negotiation and manipulation backed by a sovereign fund of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Statistics from the department indicate new infections rose from 1,845 in 2019 to 2,905 in 2022, a 57 percent increase.
Cases among women totaled 674 cases in 2022, up from 295 cases in 2019. Congenital syphilis soared from 16 cases in 2016 to 151 cases in 2021, the latest year for which statistics are available.
Let’s see, hmmm, what could have possibly changed ? Several million illegal aliens invading Texas over the Rio Grande coming from 3rd World sh*tholes without public sanitation or health care ?
No, that couldn’t be it !

Good Morning Hamsters,
Waiting for the Chron to show up so we can determine if all is right with the world today, at least in our part of the world. Muggy (surprise) and 81F at 8am, drowning in humidity, and our little weather station shows rain sometime today. Or maybe that shows drowning in humidity.
Sprinklers did their duty in the wee hours of the morning, and the walkway up to the house is still damp. Weather Guessers say this miserable hot/wet stuff will be with us for the next 3 weeks or so before a change will come along. Probably our friends the Canadians will not be involved with that. Too early to open the door.
-
Chron arrived a little after 9, so I must plow through it for a while.

You wouldn’t normally seek out Josh Barro’s writing. He was raised a Republican in Massachusetts by his Harvard professor father, became an atheist, turned gay, married some guy and left the Republican Party because they supported Donald Trump.
But, Josh does do a great brief takedown of the whole sordid Kennedy legacy.
If you’re going to have dynastic politics, you should have dynasties built around good families who share positive traits, like sobriety, thrift, and public-spiritedness. You know, families like the Romneys. The Kennedys are the opposite of this — they are a cadre of reckless, womanizing, substance-abusing mediocrities of middling IQ, who have produced a staggering array of displays of bad judgment and poor character over the decades, often leading to the deaths of themselves or others. I would not get in a car driven by a member of this family, let alone let them run the government.
[The Romneys ?! Well, at least they haven’t killed anybody.]
You are surely aware of how RFK Jr.’s uncle Ted killed a woman. After a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha’s Vineyard in 1969, Ted drove his car off a bridge, leaving his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne in the car to die and waiting hours to report the accident to authorities. It’s less likely you know that RFK Jr.’s brother, Joe Kennedy II, also caused a serious car accident near the beach, in his case on Nantucket in 1973. He was driving a Jeep-like vehicle with four seats but seven passengers — “people were hanging all over, some were standing up,” one witness would later tell a court — which he overturned, injuring several of them, including his brother David. Unlike Ted, he didn’t kill anyone, but one of his passengers, Pam Kelley, was paralyzed from the chest down. Joe II was convicted of negligent driving and fined $100. Later, he would be elected to six terms in Congress.
Another one of RFK Jr.’s brothers, Michael — who had served as campaign manager to both Ted and Joe II — died in a ski crash at Aspen Mountain in 1997. Why did he crash into a tree? Because he and two of his other siblings were playing a game of ski football. As the New York Times reported, this was a tradition in Robert Sr.’s branch of the Kennedy family — a dumbass, dangerous thing they’d been doing for decades.
and,
There’s one other thing I should note about Michael. 1997 was a busy year for him: Before his Darwin Award-worthy ski incident, he was in the news for having an affair with his family’s underage babysitter. His defense to this accusation was that he did not, as his neighbors had been telling reporters, start having sex with her when she was 14. No, he had waited until she was 16, and therefore had not committed statutory rape under the laws of Massachusetts. Setting aside the fact that Michael was probably lying, I’d also note it’s really not great, as a person of middle age, to be in any situation where it’s important to know the precise age of consent in your state.

Alison Krause won a Grammy for the album which features this song. Even Tom Jones recorded it.
However, because this woman sings so clearly, this is my favorite version.This old house is falling down around my ears
I’m drowning in a river of my tearsWhen all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the dayYou pulled me like the moon
Pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better sideWhat days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heartNow all the bonny birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the dayCome the night you’re only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you on the street and in company
Why don’t you come and ease your mind with me
I’m living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Yes, I need you at the dimming of the day -

I don’t know, but this is a pretty fine version of that song.

Russell Fincher is a high school history teacher, a Baptist pastor and a part-time gun dealer. He also coaches Little League in his hometown of Tuskahoma, Oklahoma, which has a population of around 151 souls.
Fincher, 52, has had a federal firearm license for three years. He has no brick-and-mortar gun shop. He’s what used to be called a “kitchen table FFL.” He sells most of his firearms at gun shows, including Wanenmacher’s Arms Show in Tulsa.
and then,
In April, Fincher received a call from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives. They wanted to do an inspection at his home. “I told them they were welcome anytime,” Fincher said.
Two ATF inspectors arrived a few days later. They spent three hours in his home. They took pictures of his 4473s with their cell phones, which Fincher has since learned is an illegal although common practice.
soon this happened,
“They took more than 50 of my personal guns,” Fincher said. “I asked them why, and they said they were ‘evidence.’ I’d estimate they took $50,000 to $60,000 worth of guns.”
plus this,
After ATF’s SWAT team cleared Fincher’s home, they called the agent in charge of the raid – Special Agent Theodore Mongell – and told him it was “safe to come up.”

Morning, all you chickadees. Here’s a sad story for you: a teenage neighbor posted the following recently on our neighborhood FB page. He had 3 “pet” turtles, 2 small and young and one adult, which he had placed in a pool of some sort in their back yard. Recently he reported that during the night something had attacked his turtles and ate all 4 legs off of both of the 2 babies, which he found dead. The older turtle was alive but its 2 front legs had been eaten. That turtle has since been reported deceased.
The young man is convinced that raccoons must have done this evil deed. I don’t know what all aquatic wildlife we might have in our neighborhood, with White Oak Bayou on one side and Cole Creek on another side, but I do know that raccoons can easily get inside fenced yards, even if there are no holes or gaps in the fence.

I’m watching an old series that I enjoyed mmph years ago. What flashbacks!
- Landline telephones
- Phone booths
- CRT computer monitors
- Really big floppy disks
I’m sure today’s (and tomorrow’s) kids would watch these shows and have very puzzled looks.

Raccoons are nasty, destructive predatory procyonids.
At least turtles in the wild have a chance to evade raccoons. Leaving them vulnerable confined to a shallow pool overnight is condemning them to a brutal death.
-
I would think the turtle guy would at least have a screened area of his yard to keep turtles safe… Keep raccoons out, maybe snakes, predatory birds…

This one blew me away.

Raccoons can climb trees easily, so a mere wooden fence should not provide much of a challenge for them.

Sound of Freedom is no flash in the pan. In its second weekend, the Angel Studios’ phenomenon grossed another $24.7 million, which is an astonishing 26 percent increase over its debut weekend. Currently, THE MOVIE DISNEY DUMPED sits at $83.2 million.
Never forget that the Disney Grooming Syndicate owned Sound of Freedom and then tried to disappear it. Because Jim Caviezel doesn’t age, it’s hard to tell, but Sound of Freedomwrapped in 2018, more than five years ago. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney acquired Sound of Freedom, a movie that is about to become one of the most profitable independent movies of all time.

I somehow missed this story this week. If you haven’t seen it, go to this link and be sure to watch the video.
A father took to TikTok to express how furious he was after his son was asked at an annual checkup about his gender identity.
The New York dad, Joe, joined “Faulkner Focus” Thursday to describe the incident and the reactions he received after posting the rant on social media.
“I was furious and I just used TikTok to get it out, express it, and release it. And clearly, it took off,” he said, adding that he wondered if the doctor was trying to “plant a seed” in his son’s head.

After watching the first four sets I had to leave the house so I recorded the fifth.
I dropped by to take a peek at comments here thinking it would be safe because no one here talks about or watches tennis and lo and behold….I got flambeèd.

That father was quite correct in blowing his stack at the doctor.
I agree with pretty much all of the comments.

I cracked my flat of undersized eggs today. They’re all in Fred now, along with a dozen of the larger eggs.
The smallest ones had surprises in them, things I’d never seen before. I learned pretty quickly to crack them and peek inside before dumping them into the bowl to get scrambled.
Two had whites, no yolks. Three of them had yolks that were clear. (I dumped them.) One had a yolk that filled the entire shell. Etc., etc.,

Tedtam @ 5:43 PM
People need to be very, very careful with these pediatricians. Their major professional association is one of the most vigorous promoters of transgenderism in America. They are also rabidly anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment.
Parents should never, ever allow a minor child to be alone with a pediatrician without the father or mother present. I am dead serious about it.

Texpat – Yes. Absolutely. And speaking of guns…
I saw a woman loading groceries into her car at the store the other day. I could see “Rock / Paper ” and I couldn’t read below that. I asked to see her shirt. She stood up straight so I could read it and I busted out laughing:
Rock
Paper
ScissorsGUNI WIN!
I told her I loved it and she replied back with her own broad grin “Well, I’m a gun nut, so……”

#63 Texpat,
What a remarkable and lovely surprise for the champion man and champion woman title winners. We were watching the men’s championship on the restaurant TV while having lunch. The sound was not on, but there were commentaries on the bottom of the screen. One of the men had a fall and landed on one knee that bore evidence of dirt or blood on it where the contact was made. Do not know which of them fell, though he who did was compromised somewhat in movement for a while. It was definitely not a soft landing.

I truly hope this really dumb idea never reaches Texas.
Proving there is no idea too outlandish in the pursuit of rodeo entertainment, we now have bull bubble soccer. The event, where people get inside giant inflatable bubbles, and have bulls run after them is the latest in a line of bizarre — and uninsurable — fringe rodeo events.

Sunset is beautiful tonight though a bit obscured by large while clouds to the west. One thermometer still has our temperature at 100, down only one from today’s high on the front porch. Another front-facing thermometer is down to 91, but it is on the roofed front porch that faces the sinking west sun. Hot is hot these days no matter where your go outside.
Spouse is mowing the front pasture this evening, and that’s the last and smallest of the three to be done. Our deer seem to have gone someplace else, haven’t seen them today anywhere.

Could one not get a 20% down loan and then pay it off early?
Alternatively, one could get the 80% mortgage. He could then invest the balance in a “safe/guaranteed” vehicle. He would make payments on it in the meantime and wait for rates to go down, which is very likely to happen right now. He could then refinance at a lower rate and reap the interest differential.

thinking it would be safe because no one here talks about or watches tennis
I usually watch the Wimbledon and the US finals.
but let’s be honest, what is there to talk about when it comes to tennis?
