Well the rain has passed through Weatherford and it should be nice day.

The high is 38 today, but right now it is 25 and the “Feels Like” temp is about 19 degrees.
At least it’s not snowing.

14 big (100 gallons or so) shred bins just got dumped and shredded on site here at the office. We are not done with the purging yet. That is a lot of paper and BS to have accumulated over the last few years.

Isn’t today the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year and the beginning of winter? It’s a good thing we aren’t primitive pagans and have to sacrifice a virgin to make the sun come back.

A guy on X aka Twitter has started researching church and religious groups encouraging and enabling the border disaster.
You ought to see what the Mennonites do, but the Lutherans, Evangelicals are very active as well. Catholic Charities is the largest of these, but the Baptist Home Mission is also active in this area.
What was once a fine old charity, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), is now just another anti-American religious lobbying group.

It was last night while you were sleeping.
The date and time of this astronomical event varies year-to-year, but typically occurs either on the 21st or 22nd of December. The 2023 winter solstice falls on Dec. 21 at 10:27 p.m. Eastern Time.

Brandon Straka, the gay man who founded the conservative organization Walk Away to encourage other left-wingers to abandon the ideology was the target of a Soros-funded lawfare suit by Capitol Police claiming he assaulted them, etc. on January 6, 2021.
Once it got to discovery phase and Straka’s lawyers began asking hard question of the cops under oath, they started hedging. One cop admitted to lying and said he was in Maryland on January 6th.
Straka kept telling them to shove it.

Fighting one of my headaches this morning, caffeine hasn’t helped much. I’m wondering if poking my sutures last night is part of the problem. I have completed making a rosary and had to reboot my computer. Today’s ReturnToTradition podcast on YT (or directly from his .org site) indicates that there are some bishops pushing back against the lunacy of the current occupant of the Chair of Peter. God bless and protect them.
Off to the C&C:
NOT CROQUET ☙ Friday, December 22, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Good morning, C&C, it’s Friday! Only three more days! Today’s roundup includes: a terrifying tale of three pandemics — is it time to panic yet; irony in Maine after storm knocks out vote on electric car mandates along with the power; Biden frustrated with team’s messaging over official accomplishments; OMG exposes another woke corporate and its racial quotas; and another women’s world championship won in an electric performance by a guy in a dress.
NEWS:
The fear mongering of a global population disaster has reared its ugly head again: a new WLR variant has been found. [Is this why Hubby and I got matching, unsolicited test kits yesterday, which were paid for by our tax dollars?]
I notice that the MSM never mentions that viruses mutate constantly and will never go away. At some point, Chicken Little’s victims will realize the sky really isn’t falling. Even though Reuters called it “low risk” right in the headline, there’s this:
Pirola Junior is, of course, being called “even more infectious” than the nineteen previous “super infectious” covid variants. They say — and I am not making this up — Pirola Junior is four hundred times more infectious than the original Wuhan strain. Apparently infection ability is potentially infinite; there’s no upper limit. In other words, it can now infect you through a concrete wall using bluetooth.
I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist the Childers sarcastic prose.
Yawn. So far we have an unremarkable covid variant, disinterested corporate media, and below-average (albeit increasing) hospitalization levels. So what gives? What’s stirring up all the natives down at the Fauci Memorial Reservation this time?
Concerns include the fact that is variant is so mutated that the original jab won’t work. But then, what’s new on that front? Other, folks with compromised immune systems are left wide open to viral havoc. Gee, who might those folks beeeeee???? /stroking chin contemplatively
More discussed is the second fact fueling the social media chatter: the rate of increase of JN.1 hospitalizations. It’s really the only JN.1 figure worth mentioning. Reported hospitalizations are low but rising rapidly, or “surging.” That’s rattled covid maniacs like Eric Dingleberry MD, who is generally unremarkable, repetitive, and boring, but the rapid increase over a few days has caused chronic heterodox doomcryer Geert Vanden Bossche (who I respect but take with a grain of salt) to prophesy that this is the big one:
In short, Geert predicts that JN.1 is the end of the line for mild but more infectious variants. He thinks that the next variant will be super-deadly — but only to vaccinated folks. (In a different interview, someone pressed him for a mortality figure and Geert reluctantly estimated 30-40%.) Yesterday Geert published his new theory in a dense, technical Substack, which can be summarized using his own words (lightly edited):
The Omicron descendants, bred in highly C-19 vaccinated populations, have transformed a naturally occurring pandemic into an ‘inescapable immune escape pandemic’ through the generation of significant immune selection pressure and immune refocusing. The SC-2 variant JN.1 is now rapidly outpacing other co-circulating variants. While the rapidly spreading JN.1 variant does not evoke concerns about increased intrinsic virulence, its widespread dominance is of high concern. The presence of additional, productivity-enhancing mutations in viral proteins other than the S protein indicates the exertion of immune selection pressure … strongly suggests a reduction in the production of virulence-inhibiting antibodies.
I can’t argue with Geert’s science. Literally I couldn’t argue with him. He’s way out of my scientific league. But I do not yet see the evidence for his theory. From day one I asked public health officials about antibody-dependent enhancement and immune escape and never once got any intelligent answer, not one time. I’ve since learned why. Most public health officials don’t understand vaccine science; they’re just good liars who can repeat whatever they’re told in a strong, confident tone of voice.
…Scientists didn’t refuse to answer questions because … The real reason is that, if they started trying to answer questions, it would have quickly become obvious they had no idea what they’re talking about.
… Geert was 100% right with his prediction that mass vaccination would drive evolution of a large number of immune escape variants.
The plain evidence shows an unusual number of major covid mutations all trending toward evading vaccine coverage.
But his worst-case scenarios have yet to emerge. There is solid evidence that the vaccines can degrade immune systems, cause catastrophic autoimmune problems, and enhance some folks susceptibility to common (and uncommon) infections. But … there is no evidence of serious systemic immune failures in large numbers.
Geert might be right. …But Geert’s theory depends on a new, as-yet-unseen variant that would violate evolutionary norms.
So, watch the mutated viruses, but don’t panic until it’s necessary. And that’s not when the CDC or TPTB announce that a panic is necessary.

A big storm knocked out power to a lot of folks and Maine delayed a pro-EV vote because it was so obvious what the problem would be if everyone was dependent upon electricity.
Hah!
And O’Keefe’s new media group, OMG (and that makes me laugh), unleashed yet one more DIE video:
Yesterday, James O’Keefe and OMG Media released another probably-illegal DEI quota video, adding to last week’s IBM exposé. This one was from pharmaceutical giant Sanofi.
… Sanofi requires one in five of its employees to be black, and one in ten must be hispanic. I’m not sure which is more troubling, the potential Title VII violations, or the fact that merit seems not to be the highest priority anymore at the nation’s largest corporations that make important things like medicines.
/snip
As private entities, corporations are not subject to Constitutional limits on government.
But corporations are limited by Title VII, which bars racial discrimination in hiring, even so-called “reverse discrimination.” And in fact, the lawsuits have begun. All the momentum seems to be running against DEI right now.
DIE should die! -
And there’s growing pressure against Harvard’s Claudine Gay:
Since last week’s decision to keep Claudine, whistleblowers have been crawling out of the woodpile with more and more examples of stolen work. The list now includes 47 plagiarized passages, which are found in fully half of her total published works plus her doctoral dissertation.
Students have been expelled for much less. Four legs good, two legs better!

Morning, chickadees! I was glad to see Billy Cat rush toward his breakfast when I opened the back door. I still have no clue where he was all day on December 20.

Once it got to discovery phase and Straka’s lawyers began asking hard question of the cops under oath, they started hedging. One cop admitted to lying and said he was in Maryland on January 6th.
The crapital police incited a riot by lobbing tear gas grenades and firing rubber bullets into the peaceful protesters on Jan 6 yet many are still being held political prisoners by the joined@thehipparty Vampyres.
J6 protestors were fired upon with NO warning. USCP Chief Waldow lied saying he gave warnings but never did.

At least Ford is giving their dealers an option. GM’s attitude with Buick dealers was take it or leave, pal, and 53% of them left.
Ford said on Thursday that half of all 1,550 Ford dealers chose to sell electric vehicles in 2024—down from two-thirds that said this time last year that they would opt in to sell EVs for 2023.
The other half of Ford dealers will sell—and service—ICE and hybrid models. “EV adoption rates vary across the country, and we believe our dealers know their market best,” Ford spokesman Martin Günsberg told the Detroit Free Press.
The slack buy-in from Ford dealerships comes even after Ford relaxed its requirements for dealers in the EV dealer program last January that mandated fewer L2 chargers and extended installation deadlines. Certified Ford EV dealers were once required to spend $500,000 for a single public DC fast charger, or $1 million if they wanted to be in the Elite tier of EV dealers. The extra $500,000 was for another fast charger and demo units, among other things. But the high price tag caused Ford dealers to balk.

Just how fast can a woman run wearing a chador or a burqa ?
The Biden administration is focused on a new project amid Israel’s war against the terrorist group Hamas: “improving the mental health of 200 adolescent girls and young women in Palestine through weekly running and wellness sessions.”
In late September, the U.S. Department of State directed a $100,000 grant for a roughly two-year initiative to Free to Run, a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization seeking “to increase the opportunities for women and girls to engage in public life, using sport as a tool of empowerment and education,” federal funding records show. The goal is to build “Palestinian girls’ and young women’s resilience through running,” according to the U.S. government.
plus,
“Why are we investing American tax dollars toward a running program halfway across the world when we have so many issues that need fixing here at home?” said Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Similarly, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told the Washington Examiner the Biden administration’s spending habits “confuse the hell” out of him.
“None of this sh*t surprises me, but these things frustrate the hell out of the American people,” Nehls said.
surprise, surprise…
The founder and president of Free to Run is Stephanie Case, chief of the refugee protection division for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, an agency under the U.N. that deals with Palestinian aid, according to Case’s LinkedIn profile. The agency has faced scrutiny for years from lawmakers and national security experts due to it sharing ties with Hamas and employing teachers who have celebrated terrorism against Jews, including after the Oct. 7 attack. President Joe Biden resumed aid to UNRWA in 2021 after the Trump administration halted cash transfers over concerns about terrorism ties and antisemitism in the agency.
The UNRWA is a nasty, morally bankrupt criminal organization. It is largely funded by the American taxpayer. Read this from the UNRWA website.
On 18 January 2022, UNRWA announced it 2022 operating budget. The Agency will require US$ 1.6 billion in funding to serve Palestine refugees, of which US$ 806 million will go towards core humanitarian funding, US$ 406 million towards emergency humanitarian aid in the occupied Palestinian territory and US$ 365 million for emergency humanitarian aid in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. These funds will enable UNRWA to provide vital, lifesaving services, including education, health and food assistance.
They forgot to break out the expenditures for suicide vests, ammo, full auto weapons, grenade launchers and IEDs.

#20 TP: UNRWA is the sole reason that there is no peace in the mid-east. But for that flood of corruption and cash, the ‘palestenian’ problem would not exist; the inhabitants of that geography, in addition to the west bank would simply be referred to as citizens of the State of Israel.

Pope Frankie has promulgated new guidance for blessing gay “partnerships”.

I almost feel sorry for pope frankie; he is going to spend eternity on a spit roaster in hell. I despise who/what he is working for and the destruction he is causing by his apostacy.
ELOHIM, please open the eyes, ears, hearts, and minds of your people to recognize the evil amongst them and in positions of power everywhere.

Today’s headache actually had me laying down for a few hours this afternoon. A phone call from a real estate flipper wanted to buy one of our properties that is not for sale woke me up. I’m feeling better, but still not running at all cylinders. I guess I need to get my butt out of bed and try to get something productive going on.

Several thoughts:
- I share your thoughts on pachapapa. What he is doing is evil.
- Taylor Marshall wrote a book titled “Infiltration,” and in it he documents a lot of what has been going on inside the Church for many, many years. By documents, I mean – he has citations for documents for the history that he tells. TPTB that failed to assail the Church from outside decided to go inside and rot it out from within. PP is the culmination of those efforts.
- I pray at least one rosary every day, as Our Lady requested in her appearances at Fatima. I pray for peace in our world and healing of His Church. I also try to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, which repeats the request for His mercy for souls. I used to pray it for everyone generally, but some time ago I began appointing certain people/groups to each bead. Members of my family, my blogger family, friends, etc., get a bead. I also pray for the faithful voices inside the Church, as well as for PP and the other heretical voices – “and those they lead astray”. Sometimes I want to throw up in my mouth a little, but I do it.
- Sister Lucia, one of the seers of Our Lady at Fatima, predicted that the “final battle” between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and family. We are seeing that battle now.

I saw a bit of delightful karma yesterday while running errands.
First, you have to know that Pearland has a LOT of their cars “ghost marked,” and by that I mean the word “Police” can barely be seen. I imagine that traffic citations are a large contributor of revenue for that town.
I was at a red light, in the left turn lane, and the two lanes to my right were moving through the green. You know those drivers who “tail” the green lighters through the intersection even after the light changes? Yep, there were about three of them, and the last one was definitely a red light runner.
I was delightfully surprised when the pretty lights started flashing from on the crossing lanes to my right. The cop pulled right out of the center and whooped his siren a few times behind the perp.
I don’t get to see that nearly often enough. I’ve had folks nearly rear end me as I’m stopping at the light change, so they can zoom through on the red light.
That reminds me of another incident, years ago. It was dark, and I was on a fairly busy street that was undergoing some kind of construction. I was third in line at the red light, behind a truck and then some kind of sedan. We waited at the red light for a bit, and since there wasn’t any cross traffic the truck decided to run the light and go on his merry way.
The police car that had been between us kinda delayed that merry way. Bust-ed.

IT is happening again in the southern end of the Red Sea, now France is doing her own thing.
France is doing her own thing because the US Navy can’t be trusted to do the right thing because they are handcuffed by the traitorous regime currently in power here.
Lots of nations are represented shipping wise in the region. That little tidbit, in light of everything else that is happening brings to mind Ezekiel 38.
Everything is playing out exactly as it is written. . . . . .‘in that day, I will draw them out with fish hooks in their jaws and defeat them that the entire world will know that I am ELOHIM’*
*this is a paraphrase of a particular passage that I have not yet looked up to properly cite.

Everyone should take a look at your link in to Sal Mercogliano’s What Going On With Shipping report on the Red Sea debacle.
Shannon has been a loyal fan of Sal’s for years now I believe.

Got some Latin we can use:

I have the feeling that this phrase could be very useful.

This whole dramatic story of Obama secretly lobbying Harvard to save Claudine Gay’s job doesn’t smell right to me. The narrative reeks of some hastily concocted Democratic tale to try and save Harvard Corporation board chair Penny Pritzker’s large, wide derriere.
Penny is the sister of the governor of Illinois and their brother who prances around in women’s clothes and is even uglier than
RachelRichard Levine. When they were not dipping into their billions of inheritance to fund tranny outfits, drag queen shows and sex change operations, they have always been quietly funding an unknown Chicago political wannabe named Barry Obama.President Obama appointed Penny Pritzker as Commerce Secretary as a nice patronage payback, but now Penny has her panties caught in the wringer and the pressure, private and public, is mounting. She finally calls up and says, “Hey, Barry, we need your help in providing cover over this President Gay disaster. I was responsible for hiring her and I blew it. Dumbest thing I ever did.”
“Okay, Penny, I wouldn’t normally touch this thing with a ten foot pole, but I owe you and your obnoxious family. Fake up a story I’ve been secretly lobbying to save Harvard and that stupid, clueless Claudine Gay woman. Leak it to the press as if I didn’t want it to be known.”
“Barry, you da’ man ! Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
“We’re even now, Penny. Don’t you or any of your stupid relatives call me again. I got my own money now.”

House decorations for Christmas and the rest of winter are finally finished. Purrscilla kitty has been curious about most of it and sniffs what she can reach to find out what it might be. Almost everything she investigates gets an “oh” rating and little further attention. “Nothing to eat” means not interesting and ignore it for the most part. We have to pick up small pieces of things that can drop off some decorations to make sure she doesn’t try to “taste” them to see what they might be and get sick.
Christmas cards are almost finished other than those to our neighbors. Every year the number of cards received and sent seems to be smaller than the previous year, what with email cards so convenient.
Waiting for the rain to start for tonight night and tomorrow. Weather guessers are sure that most of the Houston area will be getting some, so maybe we shall actually get some this time. Seems rain doesn’t fall very often on our subdivision and manages to stop at the edge of a nearby subdivision. Have had several instances of it stopping just at the entrance to our subdivision, and it seems so surreal to see that with not a drop for us. Kitty Purrscilla has to do her rain dance again. 🙂
