Chinese illegals are actually Chinese soldiers, according to: This video

From a related article:

Many of them have the same tattoos from elite Chinese Military units.  President Biden is allowing a real invasion through the southern border. There are now thousands of real Chinese troops stationed all over America, in strategic positions to attack infrastructure, government and military at will.  If we ever go to war with China, we will face a Pear Harbor multiplied many times, in the first few days.  On top of all of this, YOU AND ME are paying them $2200 each per month.  Get that atrocity! We are paying Chinese troops to be stationed all over America in case they are ever needed to attack us. These are Chinese men crossing our southern border, aided by the same cartels who make billions from Chinese fentanyl. Do you actually believe these “refugees” booked $1,000 flights from Shenzhen to Latin America and walked north without CCP approval?

    Good morning.

    The Bellville Brahmas are going to State after defeating the Wimberley Texans 35-33 last night in Pflugerville.

    The Houston Chronicle has a complete recap of the game.

    We were talking about best burger places the other day so we went to Our Place last night, (best burger in Alabama?) and my wife got the Mushroom and Swiss burger and it was great. Of course it was so big that Dawg had some fine leftovers. Since it was Friday I just had to get the special; fried catfish, hush puppies, fries N slaw. FWIW; I usually get the Big Bopper with 2 cheeses, bacon and onion rings on it.

    This country is in so much trouble Trump will have to become a tyrant

    Heard from commentators that I respect.  They were discussing the absolute mess this country is in and this is not the first time I have heard that comment.  It will be easy for Trump to do because it is in his nature.

    Trump’s largest and most fundamental mistake in office was, for a street-wise kind of guy, being very naive about the political big leagues of Washington DC.  He trusted too many of the wrong advisors and hired people actually believing they would do what they said they would.  Trump didn’t fire the people he should have and hired people who undermined him.   DC is the North American Mecca for compulsive liars, narcissistic conmen and predatory swindlers.

    Just think of what Trump could have accomplished if he had understood the personnel game in DC and knew who is whom among the players.  If he has not learned any lessons in this regard, Trump’s second term in office will be a disaster.  Nobody on the Left thought he had a chance last time and he caught them off-guard.  This time the leftist/socialist/commie cabal will be lying in wait in every way and everywhere.

    A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

    Jeff Dunetz at Yid With Lid Explains:

    Differences Between Christmas And Hanukkah (With Tongue Firmly In Cheek)

    2. There is only one way to spell Christmas. No one can decide how to spell Chanukah. The  Oxford English Dictionary shows 24 different spellings for Hanukkah (Chanucha, Chanuchah, Hanuca, Hanucka, Chanuca, Chanukah, Chanucca, Chanuccah, Chanuka, Chanukah, Chanukka, Chanukkah, Hanucah, Hanucca, Hanuccah, Hanucha, Hanuckah, Hanuka, Hanukah, Hanukka, Hanukkah, Khanukah, Khanukka, and Khanukkah). I like to use many of them–even in the same post. The reason for the spelling differences is its actual name in Hebrew is חֲנֻכָּה, and Hebrew can be transliterated into English in many ways. We also like the spelling differences because it confuses the Gentiles.

    3. Christmas is a major Christian holiday. Chanukah is NOT a major Jewish holiday. Chanukkah is only a big deal in America because Jewish parents wanted their kids to brag about getting gifts like their Christian buddies for eight nights. Hanukkah isn’t mentioned in the Torah. It was created by Rabbis. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but more significant holidays like Passover, Sukkot, and Rosh Hashana, for example, were designated by God. And God outranks the rabbis, which is a fact only some rabbis agree with.

    Most Christians do not get upset if you wish them a Happy Hannukah, but many Jews and atheists get upset if someone wishes them a Merry Christmas.

    “Happy Holidays” is a stupid PC term. Technically, it can refer to July 4th, Thanksgiving, Groundhog Day, or Satanic Revels. If you are Jewish and somebody wishes you a Merry Christmas, grow up! It’s the thought that counts, and who knows, maybe they will buy you a Christmas present.

    THE WEEK IN PICTURES: CONTEXT EDITION

    Harvard Prezident Claudine Gay has moved on from “context” to “my truth.” I guess “truth” is proprietary now at Harvard. Gay clearly doesn’t know the First Law of Holes: “If you’re in one—stop digging.” Has there ever been a more pathetic display of academic arrogance and cluelessness? It ought to be embarrassing for three Ivy League president to be humiliated by a bunch of Congresscritters, around whom Ivy Leaguers are supposed to run circles. Well, at least the Ivy League has figured out a sure fire way to lower the number of Jews it admits (applications from Jewish high school students are reportedly plummeting), taking it back to the good old days of the 1920s and 1930s.

    Several states and the District of Columbia have been hit by an election watchdog for failing to clean up their voter rolls of the dead and ineligible.

    Judicial Watch said it just finished investigating registrations and sent letters to the district, California, and Illinois warning that they are violating the National Voter Registration Act by not cleaning up the rolls

    In the case of Washington, D.C., Judicial Watch said the voting rolls revealed a much higher number than are eligible to vote.

    “D.C.’s total registration rate — its total number of registrations divided by the most recent census estimates of its citizen voting-age population — is greater than 131%,” said the review.

    We have been waiting for that weather change to show up, and it might be appearing now in the form of mountain-high white mixed with gray clouds moving this way fast from the NW.  Early today we had overcast, then sunny conditions, then overcast again, and sunny conditions again.  Some clear blue sky still can be seen through the advancing clouds.  The NW wind comes and goes as Old Glory and a winter wonderland banner on the front porch that faces west go from swinging with vigor to not moving at all and then a bit later back to swinging.  And that is not enough to take them inside yet.

    Yesterday up until midnight we had a grand total of 13/100 of rain and glad for that little bit.  Today no rain yet other than some moisture from early morning mists.  Now the sun is hiding behind the first batch of clouds coming this way.  The breeze has slowed down to barely moving.  There is not enough going on outside to compel our cat Purrscilla to look out through the windows.  She is conked out in her bed at the foot of our bed.

    Aha!  The minute I wrote about nothing happening out here weatherwise, an hour later we have gray overcast and behind that a wall of dark blue-gray clouds headed this way.  And some thunder grumbling in the distance.  Then behind all that we can barely see where the sun is setting, a pale reddish cloak of clouds marking the spot as night begins to fall.

    Don’t you just hate slobs? We picked up all this trash on Hopeful Church Road yesterday and not the entire road, just from the bridge over Bear Creek to the church on CR 21 (a little less than a mile). We drove over to the cemetery and on the way back I picked up a couple of cans and just couldn’t stop. FWIW; We’ve been keeping the stretch of road from the bridge back to the house policed up since we moved back in 2019, (it splits our property most of the way). I guess I’ll start working the whole road when I have time.

    A teenage boy who identifies as transgender reportedly took first place this past weekend in the under-14 category at the 2023 Southern Region Oireachtas Irish dancing competition in Dallas, Texas, ultimately displacing a girl for a spot in the Irish Dancing World Championships.

    As rules are changed to adhere to radical Left-wing gender theory, biological male athletes who identify as female have been able to infiltrate girls and women’s spaces and sports.

    and,

    According to the report, the trans-identifying dancer previously competed in boys’ Irish dancing and placed 11th in the world in the Coimisiún Le Rincí Gaelacha (CLRG) World Championships in April.

    The only reason this crap perpetuates is because women in positions of authority endorse and the orthodox, militant feminists help to loudly enforce.  Normal women need to organize a solid and loud front.

    If this were men only shoving transgenderism onto the public, women would be raising holy hell.

    If the vast majority of women would stand up and emphatically refuse to play this game, it would collapse under the weight of its own lies.

    Women on farms. There’s a feminine hand at the controls of many of America’s activities these days. Like many other farm wives whose husbands are engaged in war work, Mrs. William Wood manages a 120 acre farm in Colona, Michigan, with little male assistance. With a crop of corn, tomatoes and raspberries to harvest, she still finds time to care for her own Victory garden and to attend a first-aid class. And for the scrap drive Mrs. Wood salvaged 1,600 pounds of outworn metal and rubber articles from the farm, and contributed them to her local collection agency…

    It should be interesting to see what shows up in political columns early next week regarding the outcome of the Mayor’s race.  Some voting Dems who follow what goes on in that Party likely know a lot more than the average reader of the Chron does.  Is there much intrigue involved?  And a better question, how much intrigue were the Pubbies aware of?

    What ?!

    Are those typos ?  What is going on here ?  What’s the backstory ?  Why the huge discrepancy ?

    Did Sheila think the big nationwide conga line of leftwing billionaires was going to show up at George H.W. Bush and unload pallets of cash like Barry did for the Ayatollah ?

    Did any Texas members of the US House seriously campaign for SJL ?  How about the big lefty members of the Texas legislatures ?  Any Dem Texas representatives or senators ?  Did Hakeem Jeffries, Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez,  Democratic Socialists of America or CAIR ?  How about any union officials like the American Federation of Teachers or the National Education Association ?  Anybody from the AFL-CIO ?

    WHAT…?

    I have no idea where or how you arrive at that.  I have no peer in my contempt and loathing for Sheila Jackson Lee beginning was she was first elected to the Houston City Council.  I have followed her career wishing and hoping for it to veer off into a deep, muddy ditch full of water moccasins.  This devil-woman has been a regular visitor to my nightmares and the realization after dawn’s early light she actually exists and isn’t some ghastly fragment of my imagination.

    Otherwise, I was pointing out there is no one in the Democratic Party that gives a flying **** about SJL…nobody.  The fact she chose to run for mayor of Houston is beyond weird.  It’s almost unexplainable given what we know.

    SJL, apparently, has lived in a real bubble since she was elected to the US House in 1994.  She thought all the famous Democrats would come running down to Texas to help her get elected in a landslide against that old bald-headed, pale white man.  Once and for all, Queen Sheila would raise her mighty sword against the Racist Horde !  This is a fantastic textbook example of sociopathic delusion in a politician.

    The entire saga is one for the ages.  It is weird, strange and also begs the question: “Why did John spend $2 million on the race ?  He probably could have won with $200,000.

    The huge attraction for any power-mad politician to run for the mayor of Houston is there are few political jobs  in which you really can be a dictator.

    You want virtually unlimited power in the executive seat ?  Be the mayor of Houston.  The powers of the (legislative) City Council are very limited and there is essentially no way to check the power of mayor.

    The other position that comes to mind is the governor of New Jersey.  It has similar dictatorial powers as the mayor of the fourth (and soon to be third) largest city in America.

As usual Dawg gets real interested when we have beef cooked on the grill so I carved out my T Bone “bone” and gave it to her on the front porch so we didn’t have to deal with her while we were eating.     😉

    You know, that was only me in my imagination.

    The coolest babysitter I ever had was when I was 14 and had just gotten my drivers’ license.  Out of the blue, my mother decided we needed someone to stay with us because she had to go out of town for the long weekend.

    She was probably worried what might happen to Shannon while she was gone with me in charge.

    Anyway, Mom hires this long tall, beautiful strawberry-blonde 19 year old girl who worked for my Dad to “babysit” me.  I told this gal I was supposed to meet this girl on Saturday night at the Circle 8 Rodeo in Aldine and so she lent me her new Ford Mustang convertible, gave me $20 and told me to have a good time.

    I probably should have married that girl even though she was FIVE years older than me.
