Faded Memory – Weekend Open Comments

Lone Star Times Holy Cow Bear

I found this little guy in my office, stashed on a bookshelf and obscured by my clothing iron. Someone with a better memory than mine will have to remind me the circumstances of how he came to be.

One of the tags identifies him as an Original Holy Bear. The other tag identifies him as “The Holy Cow Bear” and includes the following:

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together…. – Isaiah 11:7

IT’S ABOUT BRINGING AMERICA DOWN, NOT RAISING UP THE PALESTINIANS: If anybody with a brain and a pulse remains who doesn’t know the “Pro-Palestinian” movement is actually all about being anti-America, they should check this out:“The people of Palestine have called for this movement to escalate its pressure. We are here to answer that call and help this movement ESCALATE. We want this movement to break out of the confines of universities, to spread throughout society, paralyzing the economy that is driving the genocide of the Palestinian people, and has made all of us complicit in decades of colonial war.”That… Read more »

Magister (my Latin teacher) brought me home after Mass today, so that saved Hubby a trip. I went ahead and gardened, getting all sweaty just watering outside. I was going to treadmill, but the back is tightening up on me. I’ll see how I feel later. I laid down to rest the back, and the fact that I woke up around 2:30 last night and didn’t sleep well after hit me. So, now that I’m awake again…

Anyone know what might have been going on late last night in College Station? We were coning in from a race in Giddings on 290 about 1:30AM and as we came up to Hwy 6 southbound traffic merging in, cars were bumper to bumper for as far as you could see. Looks like there may have been a baseball game last night, but 1:30 in the morning?

If this Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling stands, the real manure will hit the Westinghouse. They stated in this opinion that the mRNA “vaccines” are not real vaccines. Got that ? If the courts say the Covid shots were not vaccines then I don’t see how any of the federal exemptions for liabilities can survive a serious legal challenge. It may also indicate massive fraud by Pfizer, Moderna, etc. Plaintiffs argue that what’s commonly known as the COVID-19 vaccine isn’t a vaccine at all (because it doesn’t prevent transmission), but is a therapeutic, so it cannot be mandated by… Read more »

Real snakes on the plane ! Real story. My next door neighbor is a retired captain, US Army and was the senior logistics officer in Kuwait for supply lines into Iraq and Afghanistan. He went to work as logistics exec for a privately owned commercial electrical contractor in NY before he took this recent job as logistics director at Newark’s Liberty International Airport. He was dragged into the middle of this absurd episode. Sometime this week, a plane inbound to Newark discovered a rattlesnake onboard. It was probably the quickest deboarding in years. Airline security personnel were told to not… Read more »

Back home from the trip to Wisconsin to see spouse’s brother and wife. Travel however was not pleasant coming home however, with a 3-hour and then some delay at Green Bay to fetch another plane to take the place of the original plane that was taken out of service. No reason given of course. We finally get to O’Hare near Chicago and wait again, this time nearly 4 hours or so. The original wait there had been 2 hours to allow lots of time getting there from Green Bay. We got there with lots of time to spare. Well, that… Read more »

Yamam is Israel’s counterterrorism unit. Commander Arnon Zamora was killed in the rescue of Noa Argamani in Gaza. Thankfully, he was the only casualty. Israel is commemorating him on the level of Yoni Netanyahu, Entebbe hero.

I want to focus on these two quotes from the opinion rant by Richard Horton in The Lancet. We were meeting at a moment of catastrophe for Palestinians. The people of Gaza, most of whom have had nothing to do with Hamas or the Hamas-led terrorist attacks of Oct 7, 2023, are suffering a systematic attempt to destroy their lives and the health system that supports their lives. It is a human crisis—but also a crisis for humanity itself. Because why is this mass slaughter being permitted by the international community?  This is a disgusting hypocritical lie. Period. Over 70%… Read more »

David Strom is an excellent writer at HotAir and this story is quite a doozy. The diagnosis of the Woke sickness is so deep in the medical world, some influential members have Stage Four Psychosis. How Far Have Medical Journals Fallen ? This Far… Richard Horton is editor in chief of the preeminent medical journal, The Lancet. Richard seems to be on the verge of an emotional meltdown.

No need to have to de-sand both of them. Right now the Cabana and beach chairs are drying in the backyard after a thorough wash down with the hose.

SO! How did Amazon know that I used my 10′ X 10′ Cabana at the beach? I went looking for an ink cartridge and this 10′ X 20′ monstrosity popped up.

A Must Read… [CORRECTED WITH LINK]

Hen Mazzig in Tel Aviv has a detailed account of how the hostage rescue in Gaza went down. It’s fascinating and remarkable for the extensive planning and training that went into this operation. The fact they lost only warrior is simply a miracle.

I commented to Texpat about astronaut William Anders and the fact died flying his own plane and went out doing what he loved to do. And remember, he took the Earthrise picture that changed everyone’s view of our world.

I used to read Jason Whitlock 20 years ago when he was a black columnist for the Kansas City daily. He was left-of-center politically, but there something about him I liked and trusted and he finally got saw the light some years ago. This is upfront, in your face, nasty racism and lesbian butch bullying on a national scale sponsored by and condoned by a national professional sports league. It is pure thuggery shoved at the American people. Jason Whitlock has reacted furiously to Caitlin Clark’s Team USA Olympics snub, blaming ‘BLM-LGBTQIA+Silent P Alphabet Mafia bigots’ in a string of angry social… Read more »

I just finished my treadmill time and I put on a video from Midwest Magic Cleaning on YT. This house was the home of a man who was injured, causing him to lose his job, which spiraled into a mental breakdown and alcoholism. His utilities were cut off. Based on the trash in the house, especially the number of beer boxes, the estimate was a minimum of 6000 beer cans in the home. The man had gotten to the point of using a 5 gallon bucket in his living room for a toilet, with just a ceiling tile laying on… Read more »

I was thinking about American Apollo program astronaut William Anders who died in a plane crash off the San Juan Islands of Washington state. He was 90 years old flying his own plane and went out doing what he loved to do. Her Highness thinks I’m wrong and he shouldn’t have been flying alone or flying at all, for that matter. Sometimes women don’t understand men.

The newest ridiculous insult to the American people from the Biden administration is the EPA’s announcement of a new regulation requiring all cars in the near future to meet a 65 mpg minimum mileage standard. Anything at 55 mpg or above rules out any internal combustion gasoline engine cars and will force people to buy EVs…theoretically. First of all, this will be buried in litigation for years, Trump can rescind it and Americans do not want it regardless of party affiliation.

Citizens doing the work of the government, putting together a local militia group to protect their neighborhood. The fact that they’re black may put a bit of pause in pushback against them. It’ll be hard to climb over that pile of victim points. When the armed volunteers are not on the streets, the group monitors video feeds from a dozen drones hovering over the neighborhood, and 75 home surveillance cameras in the neighborhood.“The Democratic machine in Hartford is either unwilling or unable, incapable of doing it, and people are paying their tax dollars, and they’re not really getting any kind of service,”… Read more »

Mr. C. then brings up a legal decision from the Ninth Circuit, the gist of it being that the jabs weren’t real vaccines, and thus didn’t fall under the protection of laws regarding vaccine health laws and mandates. This reasoning is a legal earthquake. For years, we anti-mandate lawyers have argued that the covid mandates were unconstitutional. But the government lawyers have always argued “there is no Constitutional right not to take a vaccine.”Now, a federal appellate judge — one step below the Supreme Court — just cut through the confusion like a hot needle through butter, agreeing with our… Read more »

More from Mr. C’s speech: In early 2021, I published my most widely read post, which immediately went viral, got me canceled, and got C&C purged from every single publishing platform on the same day. It was a letter to the Church, addressed to pastors. I advised spiritual shepherds to stop falsely telling their flocks that the vaccines stopped transmission, and most of all, to stop preaching that taking the jabs was a moral imperative.I explained the World had been possessed by a demonic Spirit of Fear, manifested in a substitute religion of Science with its own rituals, sacraments, and high priests.

I just don’t get it. I understand women announcers for women’s sports. In this age to push men out it is only natural, But why do the announcer women sound more like men than some men announcers do? Guttural speech sounds along with type “A” aggressiveness. Some of these women look more like men than some men do. The more things change the more things stay the same……sorta
