”We choose Mary Ann. Every time.”
Oh yes we do. It’s Friday and I’m closing out a busy week. One more trip to Johnson’s Brothers Dirt/Gravel yard, finishing up the edging and my drainage project will be done. Man that was some hard work but it’s looking good.
Mornin’ Gang

About my week, since Tuesday morning, I’ve working on a drainage project behind the carport and I was cutting the sod in squares for reuse and just got tired of the work so I got out my trusty Kubota, scraped off a section and it just rolled up the sod up like carpet. I didn’t know it would work this well but I must have got the depth of the blade just right. Did I tell you I love my Tractor. Oh and I spent a whole day working with a Pick Maddox and shovel working around the A/C compressor, wires and water line. This had to be done by hand and by the end of the day I was Tarred! I’m not as young as I used to be.
Oh and yes, I know I need to scrape and paint the utility room window but I’ve just not got a “Round Tuit” but it’s on my list. FWIW; This is the only window in the house that isn’t a newer double pane one (no maintenance) but this room is detached from the rest of the house. 😉

BTW; Dr Phil Good’s #25 A government comprised of child traffickers, from last night is a must see.
Of course NOTHING!!!!!! will come of this hearing and the Fat Ugly Pig testifying will keep her job. ~SPITS~

Well I’m digging away and I guess Bones, Shannon or GJT aren’t going to save this thing? I’m doing my best to kill it. Oh and I mentioned these guys particularly because they generally up before noon. 😉

SPONGEY ☙ Friday, October 27, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Your roundup includes: U.S. Attorney claims he was “too busy” to investigate Hunter Biden; abandoned Reedly Chinese bio lab story update — an arrest; DeSantis spars with reporter on red flag laws; Newsweek runs excess deaths op-ed; Sponge Bob is Israel’s newest secret weapon, or something; air attacks reveal Hamas tunnel system; guess how much Hamas is worth?; SADS surfer mystery infection; SADS update on Madonna’s mystery infection; SADS actor and Jamie Foxx buddy dies; and our Internet hero of the week.
THE C&C ARMY POST
I thought my Steve Kirsch interview went well last night and you might enjoy it if you’re surfing around for something to watch this weekend. Separately, I also interviewed with Jay Bhattacharya this week, and will get you the link as soon as it’s available. From time to time I receive feedback that this person or that person is a deep-state mole or a RINO sellout or worse and I should eschew any contact with them.
News:
In the “you can’t make this stuff up” department, the UK Daily Mail ran a story yesterday headlined, “Biden-appointed prosecutor ADMITS he declined to prosecute Hunter for tax crimes because he was ‘short-staffed.”
But not too busy to shove hundreds of folks who wandered into the Capitol, nor to investigate soccer moms and dads for getting a little testy with their school boards, etc.

We are sick and tired of hearing about how dumb people are in the South, and we challenge any so-called “smart” Yankee to take this exam: “REDNECK CHALLENGE”
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10 pound possum.
2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard?
(A) ’65 Ford Fairlane ( B) ’69 Chevrolet Chevelle (C) ’64 Plymouth GTX.3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product?
4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many Budweisers’ will be drunk before the trees are cut down?
5. A front porch is constructed of 2×8 pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough sawn pine. When the porch collapses, how many dogs will be killed?
6. A man owns a Georgia house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man’s land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front?
7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail. Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?
8. With a gene pool reduction of 7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country-western singer?
I betcha thought that there test was gonna be an easy one, didn’t ya? It’s okay if’n ya didn’t do all that well. Just goes to show ya…. There’s a hole heap of things that big city book-learning don’t prepare ya for in this life.
As an added bonus for taking the “REDNECK CHALLENGE”, here’s some southerly advice that may come in handy down the road a piece….
Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop and place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home with them. 😀

Remember that rather odd lab found in California?
Last week ABC-13 WHAM California ran a local story headlined, “Chinese citizen arrested in California for misbranded medical devices, illegal bio lab.” Arrested was “Jesse” Zhia-Bhei Zhu, a Chinese national who back in in 2016 was ordered to pay eye-popping damages of three hundred and thirty million dollars.
The damages arose from a lawsuit against Zhu in British Columbia, for stealing technology related — and I’m being completely serious here — “to the separation of sex chromosomes from bull semen”:
And, of course, Mr. C. has to make me spew my coffee:
… And don’t think too hard about how they got the semen out of those poor animals. The answers might just make you give up all hope in humanity.
/spew
So, after Canada clamped down on his operation, he naturally thought – California!
…departed snowy Canada for sunny Los Angeles, later entering the lucrative covid test kit business, generously-funded by the State of California and the United States federal government, and all their dizzying array of big-dollar incentives, grants, forgivable ‘loans’, and ‘programs’ not requiring actually doing anything.
Last week the DOJ arrested Zhu, but just for selling non-EUA approved medical products (max 3 years) and lying to investigators (max 5 years). I reviewed the DOJ’s charging affidavit, and it doesn’t mention the biosafety level-five germs found in the lab or the blood or all the centrifuges and sketchy lab equipment. It really didn’t describe the lab at all, remaining tightly focused on the labeling violations and the false statements.
This part I didn’t know: they only got caught because one of the employees left a hose running, and a nearby Karen reported the water abuse.
I guess there’s some use for them.

Love the “Redneck Challenge”. On a slightly more serious note, I just nod and smile at the cosmopolitan stuck-ups, knowing that if/when the SHTF, they will be totally lost.
The rednecks? They stand a chance.
So make sure you have some good redneck friends.

DeSantis wipes the floor with a CNN “reporter” on the issue of gun control/red flag laws:
https://x.com/kaitlancollins/status/1717741728885608678?s=20
The Maine shooting was the context of the interview. Red flag laws allow courts to “flag” a citizen who is then not allowed to own a firearm, and they are banned from buying (legal) guns. But Governor DeSantis breezily dismissed Red Flag laws in the Maine context in the first 30 minutes of the interview by pointing out the obvious fact that, “look, he already owned guns.”
As the Governor said, we don’t need any more red flag laws. We need fair, due-process-providing involuntary commitment processes.

texpat from yesterday:
There are times when I want to bitch-slap Rand Paul and other occasions when I want to buy the Senator a nice steak dinner.
He can be exasperating, but I do think he stands on principle more than most everyone else there. And I think that’s good because it generates healthy debate.
I also find I agree with him the vast majority of the time.

How many Budweisers’ will be drunk before the trees are cut down?
Bonus question: How many beers will be consumed before the engine on the chainsaw starts?

Okay, this refused to post in its original form, so I’ll redact the link and surrounding text – but there is a new study on the rise in death and disabilities that appear to be linked to the jab juice.
Dr. Kory also noted the “open secret” of off-the-charts excess deaths, with people permanently leaving the workforce younger, in greater numbers, and from diseases usually seen in older folks until after the jab-demic. According to federal data, an extra +25% more 15-to-19-year-olds—about a thousand young people—died during 2023’s first five months.
In total, according to federal numbers, +87,000 “excess” people died during the same five month period — Americans who should still be alive right now, if they hadn’t been slain by a mysterious secret murderer stalking Americans.
Some numbers to consider, “trusted” numbers from the CDC:
- Liver disease deaths, ages 20-44 ——-> up 58%, about 8,000 people
- Kidney disease deaths, ages 40-44 —–> up 30% from 2019-2022
- Strokes, ages 35-39 ———————-> up 17%, 2022
- Heart disease, ages 35-39 —————> up 12%
Dr. Kory is asking for an independent review, obviously not trusting the CDC to monitor its own hen house.
I agree.

Mr. C. mentions how Hamas is swimming in cash, from Iran, Qatar, and the U.S. Why are the people so miserable? Oh, wait, it’s like a union structure for terrorists. That ‘splains it. (My thoughts, not Mr. C’s.)
And a list of celebrity Suddenly & Unexpectedly deaths and diseases. Then Mr. C. touches on the topic that touches me: the lost list of the unknown, unrecognized victims:
Trying to keep the numbers down, I did a one-week “medical emergencies” roundup of regular non-celebrity folks — for just a one week period — but it still has 24 entries. It’s just too long for the daily post. I plan to publish them as a separate, standalone bonus post.
He ends with the image of a woman volunteering to “free” an LBGTOEMZOIEQ+ member to Gaza. Where’s THAT funding page? I’ll donate!
-
I’m so glad that our lame stream media works so hard to tell us about the upcoming military plans for Gaza and other areas. It would be absolutely impossible for the target of said plans to have access to those plans and take defensive measures against them (he says with a truckload of sarcasm).
If one were cynical, one could conclude that the LSM was working against the best interests of both Israel and the USA.

I found the news story yesterday on the “sponge bombs” that Israel is using to block the Gaza tunnels. Yes, I had to make sure it was “bombs” and not “Bobs”. 😉
It’s an interesting way of handling the situation – just block off the tunnels so the bad guys can’t use them. Unfortunately, the expanding foam is dangerous and some soldiers have permanent disabilities now.
At least they’re alive, and not beheaded. There’s that.

Hubby had to change his plans for the day. We got a violation warning letter from the city of Bryan about some mixed trash in the yard – they don’t like for yard waste to be mixed in with other trash. Also, the tenants being evicted from the A unit have a car on jacks sitting in the driveway. It seems that the company they rented tires from repo’d their tires. Hubby’s gonna meet with a couple of towing companies and have the car towed.
The A unit tenants won’t like that, but they’re not going to pay the $2,000 fine, either.
I have my “After Death” movie this afternoon, so I think I’m going to make Hubby some soup in our small crock pot so when he comes home he’ll have dinner, if I’m not in.
I’m trying to use more ice on the knee. Obviously sticking to the creams and NSAIDS aren’t cutting it. Probably should have started with the ice. /facepalm
Hubby came to kiss me good morning and wake me up, since he needed some paperwork to take to Bryan. I told him I slept better last night than the night before. “You sound better,” he said. I told him I had a few ouchies, but it wasn’t every. dang. time. I moved my leg.
Progress. Until I backslide again.

Well, now that the “sanctuary city” title is firmly biting NY in the butt:
LOL: NYC Now Offering Illegal Migrants Free Plane Tickets to Anywhere in World
When virtue signaling turns into virtue fact the fun ends.
Whatever. The fact is that “sanctuary” policies were never sustainable, and were in fact very bad ideas solely intended to make Republicans look cheap and churlish. That these same Republicans were having to deal with the very expensive reality that they can’t fit 8 million new dependents into their budgets made no difference to the Democrats who didn’t have to deal with the problem.
Instead, they cheered Biden on, experiencing the thrill of schadenfreude, laughing at Republicans struggling with the crisis.
Now that this crisis is theirs they are singing a different tune, except for continuing to criticize the Republicans. That is still a requirement, of course.

A friend of mine helped out with the Knights of Columbus (think men’s service org sponsored by the Church) annual Thanksgiving fried turkey fundraiser.
They met in the church parking lot at like 7:00 and were unloading and setting up all the fryers, etc. At about 7:30 the first “ppppssssttttt” was heard, followed by many more. He said those old guys really put them away (he was about 37 or so).

Sponge bombs in the home.
Great Stuff Gap Filler is known to most homeowners in America for filling gaps around pipe wall penetrations as an example. This is a class of foam sealant known as “low expansion” sealant that can expand to 30 times its size as the liquid in the can.
Professionals insulating contractors often use a “high expansion” foam sealant that can expand to 300 times its size as the liquid in the container.
The Israelis jump-started with this technology and made it a non-kinetic, very quiet weapon. Instead of loudly blowing up a tunnel that contains jihadis, the IDF can drop these into tunnel passages to contain enemy troops or to block escape access in an empty passageway. Hamas won’t know what happened until they are trapped in a tunnel with IDF commandos on one end and a wall of foam on the other.

Those KC boys can do some cooking. The Sealy K of C Hall is a fine facility which the Sealy Lutherans rent annually for their main fundraiser.
You can easily BBQ for a thousand or more.

Look at that. The mackerel snappers and pot-luck terrorists get along just fine in America and aren’t trying to murder one another.
It’s like some kind of ecumenical miracle or maybe they’re all a bunch of hyper-conservative warriors plotting against their common enemy Islamic Jihad. The arsenal of firearms owned by the Catholics and Lutherans of Austin County would probably equip a small army.
Meanwhile, the Antifa Hamas Fan Club in Pittsburgh has vandalized the high school near the synagogue where 11 Jews were murdered five years ago.
PITTSBURGH — The Squirrel Hill community woke up Thursday morning, the day before the city was set to mark the fifth anniversary of the violent rampage at the Tree of Life synagogue in which 11 congregants were shot to death, to pro-Palestine graffiti scrawled across the front of Allderdice High School in the predominantly Jewish neighborhood.
Nearby, a “We Stand With Israel” sign had “GAZA” spray-painted over the word Israel.

My furry wake-up squad had a hard time getting me to climb out of bed this morning. Well, they were hungry, and I was sleepy. Funny thing is that after they get chow, they all fall asleep.
Well, all except 17-y.o. Travis. One component of my breakfast has for years been a small bowl of cottage cheese with chopped fruit and half of a banana. Travis can tell when I have almost emptied that bowl and he comes running in to remind me that I must put that bowl on the floor so he can lick it clean. So today he looked very sad when there was no more yummy licks for him, so I added a bit more cottage cheese which made him very happy.
We will see at tomorrow’s breakfast whether this was a mistake or not.

Libs of TikTok tweeted images of “The Whiteness Project” assigned by the Katy Independent School District (KatyISD) in Texas. Libs of TikTok noted that KatyISD potentially violated Texas law with the assignment, since the state bans critical race theory (CRT) in classrooms. Ironically, KatyISD’s Twitter/X bio boasts of being “the leader in educational excellence.” The assignment told kids that they should be discussing “whiteness from a young age.” It’s never too early to brainwash kids with Marxist propaganda and make them hate each other based on skin color!

Goldie Hawn: ‘An alien touched me and it felt like the finger of God
And just four months later, she was settling down for a nap in a friend’s car while working as a dancer, and heard a ‘high frequency’ in her ear.
She claims she then saw three ‘triangular-shaped heads’, silver in colour with a ‘tiny little nose,’ no ears and ‘a slash for a mouth.’
The aliens ‘were pointing at me … discussing me like I was a subject.’
She says she was unable to move, but that the aliens ‘touched me and it felt like the finger of God.’

There is an additional benefit from A. cinnamomea. It also interferes with the interaction of the Spike Protein and ACE2.
The recent findings from our functional and mechanistic experiments conducted in cell and hamster models reveal a novel discovery: A. cinnamomea is beneficial in the context of COVID-19. It interferes with the interaction between ACE2 and the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, effectively reducing lung inflammation associated with COVID-19.

I’m watching the video, but have had some interruptions. Also, I can’t listen while Her Highness is in the room. She get’s really neurotic when it comes to any huge disruptions or apocalyptic predictions.
I’m aware of our new annual trillion dollar debt service payments. Notice the chart at the beginning. Even with Trump totally blowing the Covid crisis, he and Steve Mnuchin did manage to re-finance a large chunk of US debt into extremely low interest. You can see it reflected in the dip at mid-2021, but then it goes berserk as soon as Biden is inaugurated. It’s not all his fault, but Biden is all in for the disaster. The drooling, dementia-ridden fool hasn’t a clue what is coming.
I’m also a Simon Black reader and I haven’t believed there is any cure for this worldwide monetary problem. The Covid crisis was a huge red flag warning to Americans the caliber of people running this nation are fools and idiots. They think they are immune from this. Not a chance.
Safe rooms are passé now, bomb-proof subterranean family bungalows are the in thing.

If I were currently living in Texas, I would be at the Katy ISD Board of Trustees meeting on Monday, October 30th at 5:00 PM.
After Libs of TikTok’s bombshell, there will be fireworks. Any of you Katy residents should show up if you can.
There is a live-streaming feature for board meetings on this page.
Any board of trustees of any school district, particularly a suburban one like this, that schedules their monthly board meetings on a weekday at 5:00 PM is doing it specifically because the vast majority of parents are still working or commuting and cannot attend. It really is asinine and I am surprised the parents in KISD put up with it.
Do not think this is arbitrary – it is commonly called chickens**t behavior.

Oh, I think they will try with the Central Bank Digital Currency, but it may be too late for sneaking that one in. I’ve always believed the worst things governments do financially usually happens when things are good or seem to be. I’m no macro-economic expert or monetary genius, but if things go as south as I think they could, then digital currencies are going to be somebody’s fantasy.
The word dystopian is not gruesome enough to describe what I imagine. If they start trying to introduce digital dollars in a world where economies are falling like dominoes, shipping comes to a halt, somebody blows up main internet connections, utility companies collapse so water, gas and electricity become scarce or gone. Chaos hits the streets and it becomes a hellscape of mayhem, then nobody is going to have time for CBDCs. They’re going to be looking to steal your food and water and kill you if they have to.
I just found out our Public Service Electricity & Gas bill payment I mailed over
24 weeks ago has not arrived at the billing office less than two miles away. It has had 18 or 19 days to get there and this is the 5th or 6th bill payment item of ours that has not shown up to its destination in the last 3 months.Now if I were one of those crazed conspiracy theorists, I would claim the Department of Treasury, on orders from the White House, has met with the Postmaster General and they concocted a plan to very subtly and slowly screw up the mail system. As the public becomes more and more alarmed because this could affect their credit ratings, the White House, Treasury and USPS leak negative stories about how the postal service can’t be fixed and depending on them in the future could be risky. All this even though the US Postal Service is a constitutionally ordained agency for the American citizenry.
Oh, and by the way, we have this neat, shiny digital dollar you can use to pay your bills, you don’t have to get your hands dirty or depend on that slovenly mailman and it arrives to your vendor within seconds.
That’s my damned conspiracy theory for the day and I’m not kidding.

CBDC has become one of the worst kept secrets if it was a secret at all. What is planned for block chain money is pretty scary. Everything is being pushed as convenience and I think people will gobble it up when it is rolled out. The scenario Britt described with the banks closing on a Friday and remaining closed will be a pretty good hint that a change is gonna come. Look this thing is planned and just like Covid the gubment already has the solution.
As for the mail, nobody has to plan to screw that mess up. It was already screwed up.

Yes, ma’am. The vicious ragweed bloom following the return of rain in our area is horrific.
Quite by accident in the last few years, I discovered that basic Mucinex – which is labeled as an expectorant for relief of upper respiratory problems – is also an invaluable tool for drying up the clogged sinuses of ragweed sufferers.
Highly recommended.

Whew! We’re good for the next month, anyway.
I just got back from “After Death”. I was one five people who showed up for the early showing. I’ll tell ya’, listening to people who’ve come back puts things into perspective.
One gent who went downward instead of upward had quite a story to tell. “It was like something grabbed me,” and then…Falling, falling, falling, 1000 miles an hour down an seemingly endless black tunnel. As he fell, he started thinking about all of his relationships. In spite of his bad relationships with his father, that dominoed into bad relationships with his wife and kids, he tried to rationalize how he really wasn’t a bad person. “Then I started falling 2000 miles an hour. It just speeded up the process.” In his depths of despair, he called out to Jesus, who responded and saved him.
Another guy ended up in the dark place, being torn apart by beings laughing maniacally as they tore at his “body”. He also remembered his childhood days in Sunday school, called out and was saved.
The rest of the stories were of folks who went to, well, not quite Heaven, but close to. One man really didn’t want to return home, but was told he still had a purpose on Earth. All of the returnees did.
One gentleman became such a zealot for the message of love that he alienated his wife and lost his kids as he lost his wife. She couldn’t get the “it’s an ocean of love, and we’re supposed to just be part of that”. Yet he understands that God’s timing isn’t our timing, and he has patience, because he knows what is waiting for him.
All of the doctors and scientists that started out skeptical aren’t so much, anymore.
As sad as I am about my cousin’s medical condition, and the anger over the Israeli massacre, it does give me some comfort to know what is/was waiting for them. And it happens in the blink of an eye. Over and over, the people who experienced death said that they didn’t even remember dying. It was “I was there, and now I’m here, looking at my body”.
Love. It’s all love. And we’re all called to be part of it.

Yes, yes it is. It’s a free service, too, which means our tenants save on transaction fees.

When I first started out in the business world it involved mostly international and some domestic bank wire transfers. Back in the 1970s, I could wire $60,000 from my little independent bank in Farmers’ Branch, Texas to London or Amsterdam for about 40 bucks.
Today, a domestic wire transfer of $2,000 from Bryan to Houston might cost you $200 today, maybe more. It’s ridiculous robbery.
International documentary letters of credit are a whole other story.
There is no reason for this unless all the banking executives in America set this obstacle up in order for their children to open companies like Zelle to fill the vacuum.
Every. thing. is. a. conspiracy.
I’m telling ya’ !

I always knew that Harper was a NYC slumlord.

I just pray for TT and her Hubby to figure out a way to ease up.

She wore red dresses and told such sweet lies.

I wish Hammie was here to comment on his “favorite” Houston politicians Alvarado and Garcia endorsing Whitmire over the triple crown bitch.

Don’t forget to give some props to Flaco Jimenez. He is a Conjunto legend from the Frontera.

#55 Shannon,
I find that Mucinex works better than Claritin for me unclogging the stuffed up sinuses and runny noses. Also it does not make me sleepy during the day or awake at night. One dose per day takes care of everything so far.
And the weather folk indicate that tomorrow is going to be a steamy miserable day to be outside. The front doesn’t come until Sunday night. So a friend is picking me up to go to a dressage show at Great Southwest arena in Katy. But the show secretary has AC in her office, so that shall be my refuge until spouse comes to take me home early in the afternoon. I have been away from the show circuit for over 3 years now, so there will be new folks showing their horses and most of the old timers still there with their horses I know or the offspring of the horses I know. 🙂
