Monday, Monday, Can’t Trust That Day… Open Comments

Watch The Above and Then Read This…

Samuel Sey is one of the most level-headed and fair-handed, yet zealous Christian writers out there.

Earlier this week, Samuel sent out this tweet about his 4-month-old son and ignited a firestorm among progressive “Christians” who saw an opportunity.

In this tweet, which was an effort by Sey to do what he always does and try to proclaim truths about God and theology, Sey repeated the concept found in Psalm 51 that humans are conceived in sin, sinful from birth, inheriting the sin of Adam.

However, some folks on the Left who oppose Samuel’s work and worldview keyed in on one word: “Discipline.”

And, of course, they assume “discipline” is a code word for “beating” even though it can mean many things, including what it meant in this instance:

Sleep training.

Sey said his baby would not sleep and it pained him to have to put him in the crib to cry for a short time – something many parents know well.

Samuel Sey, a native of Ghana, quoting the Old Testament somehow enraged a bunch of leftwing, nosy busybody evangelicals and they reported him to the local Child Protective Services.

    The horror stories about CPS are legion. What recourse does Mr. Sey have against CPS or the leftist busybodies that called them with lies?

    Patsy was our mother and she passed away in 2006, about 5 weeks shy of her 80th birthday. She had a myocardial infarction heart attack at 45 and the doctors then told her she had a 5% chance of living another 5 years. Patsy was a licensed pharmacist in the state of Texas for over 50 years.

    I don’t guess they gave him a Miranda warning either.

    Leaked footage has revealed that one of the four terrorists who carried out the Moscow massacre cried and screamed as he was caught by Russian authorities, who would go on to cut off his ear and make him eat it.

    Russian border guards and FSB agents were seen furiously battering a man understood to be suspect Saidakrami Murodalii Rachabalizoda after chasing him through dense woodlands, in the 90-second-long clip shared to Telegram.

     

    Moments after this clip, an enraged soldier was captured slicing off Rachabalizoda’s ear with a knife and forcing him to eat it in a video too gruesome for MailOnline to publish.

    WARSAW, POLAND —

     

    Observances were held in Poland on Sunday to mark the 80th anniversary of the “Great Escape,” an ingenious act of defiance during World War II in which 76 prisoners of war tunneled out of a German prisoner-of-war camp into a snowy forest.

    British soldiers carried photos of pilots murdered on Hitler’s orders at a ceremony that was also attended by the British ambassador to Poland and marked the culmination of observances that lasted all weekend.

    and,

    Most of the soldiers who escaped from Stalag Luft III on the night of March 24, 1944, faced a tragic end. Only three made it to safety. The others were recaptured and 50 of them were executed.

    Though it largely failed it came to be known as the “Great Escape,” and was celebrated in a 1963 film starring Steve McQueen that was highly fictionalized.

    It won’t be that long before Houston passes Chicago to become the nation’s third largest city. Of the eleven major American cities ranked, three of them are in Texas – Austin #1, Dallas #5, Houston #7.

    Henley & Partners is a London-based investment migration consultancy. It recently released its 2024 USA Wealth Report estimating growth in the number of new millionaires from 2013 to 2023. Chicago ranked last at 22%, far lower than the national average of 62%. Austin topped the list at 110%. The full results of the analysis are below.

    The good news is that Chicago still has lots of millionaires — 120,500, ranking fourth on their list.

    Further good news in the introduction to the report is that the wealthy are not fleeing America. There’s no “impending millionaire exodus from America due to higher taxes, crime, or other domestic concerns.”

    However, rather than wholesale fleeing, Henley says, “what we observe today is more of a ‘millionaire remix’ within America. Cities such as Austin, Miami, and Scottsdale are gaining residents, while traditional hubs such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago experience modest declines.”

    The excellent Jeffrey Carter, formerly of Chicago, writes in his Substack pages:

    I am in Chicago right now seeing my new grandson. While here, they had a primary election. The State’s Attorney’s race was the one to watch. It pitted a traditional liberal Democrat, Eileen Burke with a Chicago Teacher’s Union/Toni Preckwinkle socialist/communist Democrat Clayton Harris. 

    Fortunately, the mansion tax the communist mayor proposed failed and the margin was so big, the CTU Machine couldn’t steal it.

    Only about 20% of eligible voters voted, and it’s taking them at least six days past the election to count all the votes. Every single one of these people is responsible for making fraud easier.

    But, the State’s Attorney’s race was closer. Lo and behold after all the ballots were practically counted they “found” another mail-in ballot dropbox full of 10,000 ballots that were not postmarked or dated. They are counting them now.

     

    Amazingly, the lead that Eileen Burke had has shrunk to 1.8%, or 2000 votes. There are still enough ballots left to count to put her rival over the top.

    When people object to my saying Democrats are far more skilled at stealing elections than Republicans, I smile and say something like this:

    “I grew up in Texas when there were no Republicans. Everybody was a Democrat and I watched Democrats steal elections from other Democrats for 40 years. Lyndon Johnson was the Grand Master of vote theft so don’t tell me left-wingers don’t cheat ! They do and they do it well !”

    Thats one reason you never see the “palestinians” messing with the Russians. The last time they did, the cut a different body part off the perpetrator and made him chew for a bit before they shot him and dumped his body in front of the local PLO “office”.

      I believe that was back in the 1980s when the Palestinians kidnapped the head of the CIA office in Beirut, William Buckley. They had also taken a Russian official captive and after the Russians dumped the body the Jihadis immediately released them. I think they also sent some body part(s) to the terrorist leader’s family home.

    LawProfBlawg (Anonymous Professor, Top 100 Law School), What Do My Campaign Contributions Say About My Politics?:

    Dean Paul Caron posted on TaxProfBlog some findings from professor Derek Muller about law school faculty campaign donations from 2017 to early 2023.

    The results are stunning. According to Muller, he “identified 3,148 law faculty who contributed only to Democrats in this 5+ year span — 95.9% of the data set of those identified as contributing to either Democrats or Republicans in this period. Another 88 (2.7%) contributed only to Republicans. And 48 others contributed to both Democrats and Republicans.” ..

    N.Y. appeals court reduces Trump’s bond in his civil fraud case to $175 million, a victory for the former president.

    The court also gave Trump an additional 10 days to post the bond, which his lawyers have said they’ve had trouble securing.

    This down from $464 million.

    Morning, chickadees! I usually wake up in a bed full of cats, who swarm into the kitchen to watch me prepare their breakfast bowls.While they are eating, I take stray cat Billy’s bowl out back and I usually sit in a lawn chair under the breezeway. He enjoys my company as long as I don’t try to pet him. By the time I get back inside, the house cats have all conked out in their beds around the big window overlooking the back yard. I fix my breakfast and get comfortable at the laptop in the adjoining breakfast room. From there, I can’t see any of the cats in the family room windows, but pretty soon Travis races in to get me to set my bowl down on the floor so he can lick it clean.He’s been doing that his entire life, as he discovered cottage cheese when he was just a kitten.

    Oregon bans commercial farming and ranching. They ban it unless you get a permit. If you have any improvements, like a gravel path on your private property and have never sold any of your produce to anyone, you are still a commercial operation.

    My whole day’s schedule has been catterwampus. I took a relaxant last night because I really needed it, which meant I was slow getting up this morning. After I got my coffee and settled in with my beads, I found I was one bead short and spent a lot of time trying to find a bead that would fit in, unsuccessfully. As I was doing that, Hubby came in and since he can’t do crap on the computer, I had to help him order stuff for his car, and then we discussed some insurance issues/doctor payments. Then I got wissed off at the persistent presence of pantry moths and spent a few hours going through my pantry (again!) and still couldn’t find where they were coming from. I took the time to put my almond flour into canning jars, vacuum sealed – just in case.

    I did actually get to eat, at least. I’m going to try to get some treadmill time in, very carefully. I think I’m skipping the rosary making today, since I have other stuff that needs my attention.

    Charlie Kirk & entourage fighting fire with fire, hiring ballot chasers. Finally, someone is trying to play the game better. If they are successful in beating the Dems at the ballot chasing game, I’ll bet the left will start trying to shut down those methods of voting.

    Because it ain’t about legitimate votes.

    Many are a fry short of a Happy Meal, a can short of a six-pack, etc. This is the first instance I’ve seen of being a bead short of a rosary.

      Actually, this happened early on in my youth ministry. We made rosaries as our “craft” portion of the weekend event, and I made it a point to emphasize that they needed to “COUNT! COUNT! COUNT! YOUR BEADS!” One of my students made her final knot and discovered she didn’t count carefully enough. I used the exact analogy that you did, and the “one bead short of a rosary” became one of my phrases that I used with ‘my kids’.

    I actually got two whole miles in on the treadmill, though I had to slow it down after the first 1 1/4 miles – certain shin muscles started to complain. Because of the back I haven’t put in the walking for a coupla days. But I stuck it out and got the miles in. I know that two miles instead of one is better for the blood sugar; it will be interesting to see if it going half of it at 2.5 mph instead of 3.4 or 3.5 mph will make a difference.

    I’m going to cool down by laying on the floor with a pressure ball under my shoulder, to see if it’ll help this numbness. Dr. Bailey thinks I need to do the rolled towel under my neck thing to help alleviate the obvious pinching of that nerve. So, a second pressure ball under the neck. I have TV remotes and I’m not afraid to use them.

    I knew about this man and his store before I came to the East Coast. I swore I was going to go there to visit and never did.

    Master tailor Martin Greenfield gained a national reputation over the generations with his brand of fitted suits and men’s clothing worn by U.S. presidents and Hollywood celebrities alike. He died on March 20 at age 95.

    Maximilian Grünfeld was born to a Jewish family on Aug. 9, 1928, in a region of Czechoslovakia now ruled by Ukraine.

    his family died at Auschwitz leaving him the only survivor,

    On Sept. 18, 1947, poor and alone, he arrived in the United States, changing his name to Martin Greenfield and settling in New York City. He managed to get a job as a “floor boy” at a tailoring firm in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. Said to have learned the value of clothing from the Nazis, over the years, he made it a point to learn clothes-making skills as well as the production process.

    plus this,

    His suits developed a cult following, patronized by U.S. Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Donald Trump; former U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell; and businessman Michael Bloomberg, the three-term mayor of New York City. According to Yahoo! News, Greenfield was scheduled to hold a fitting for President George W. Bush on Sept. 11, 2001; it was canceled.

    Well that rain should be here in the morning. We had a high in the 70’s today and it was 63 at dark but it’s 69 now with that wind coming off the gulf. And did I say wind? I just went out and turned off both the motion sensing lights because they’ve been on most of the night. That wind keeps the limbs moving and that sets them off. I do like the howl the tin roof makes though.

    Another day of wonderful comments. Late again looking in, as today was 100% wound around preparing the contents of the Fed tax filing form to guess how much we might owe once our accountant looks at it and prepares it for us,

    While gathering the information for the filing mostly took all day and is not quite done until tomorrow so I can take it to the accountant, most of it is gathered and ready to organize. I always make a copy of everything that goes into that form, which slows things down a bit getting it ready to file, and check that I have a copy of all the things included.

    Purrscilla kitty just had to be involved with it off and on, and she spent lots of time looking from distance at what I was doing. But numerous times she just had to see what was on the kitchen table, and so jumped up on it several times. Only to be picked up with me trying not to disturb the paperwork on the table while setting her on the floor.

    Good Night All.
