In an interview with Tucker, John Rich said “he had no choice but to write this song”. He felt like the Lord “hit him with a hammer in the back of the head” with this melody and these lyrics, and this song was written in less than an hour. It was a physical thing, like the Lord “slammed this song through him”. He says he had a similar event with another song, “Earth to God,” but it wasn’t as intense as this one.

It is Dr. Jill in the ring for a double smackdown match against Barack and Kamala. As my colleague Nick Arama reported, it’s been a whisper campaign of epic proportions regarding Barack Obama’s feelings about Vice President Kamala Harris and her chances of winning the 2024 election. Expect these whispers and leaks to continue up to the convention, and possibly beyond.… Read more »
I can’t even speak….but watch out Squawk, one of these days those pine trees in your yard are going file a class action lawsuit against you. The eminent Christian theologian, Wesley Smith, wrote recently: Smith argued the effort to give rights to non-living things “isn’t science. It is neo-pagan mysticism.” He cites a passage from Rodriguez-Garavito’s book that states there are spirits… Read more »
Beef? What the hell is beef? I may eat it once a week – maybe.
And that’s in a hamburger bought on the road.
I spent $120 dollars on groceries last Saturday.
That figure includes no non-food items or alcohol.
It was 73 this morning at 6 and has made it to 74 today. Rain overnight and today thus far is 1.02″. We don’t need more rain, thank you, as the ground is already full of moisture far enough down. Spouse and I went out for lunch today, managing to make it about noon, when the rain here was light.… Read more »
Bloomberg article about cost-of-living crisis.
Even UPS and FedEx dealing with reduced volumes.
How can burning the American Flag be an act of free speech while burning another countries flag is a hate crime?
How come the burning of a Rebel Battle Flag is not a hate crime?
I don’t get it. How can liberals have a gender reveal when their baby has not been born yet to decide what gender it is?
I love Carl Higbie.
Just now, discussing Biden’s speech, where B says that he’ll continue to grow the economy: “The only thing growing right now are calls for your resignation!”
He’s become my favorite talking head.
Phil’s 12:07 post is soooo worth watching.
610 just east of Stella Link, a Houston cop working radar steps out into the lane and gets clobbered by an ATT service mini-van.
I loved my Motorola Startac flip phone. I was sad when I finally had to give it up. The foldable phone would arrive no sooner than 2026, as it takes about two years to go through the process of manufacturing a new iPhone model. It’s also still possible that Apple will abandon its plans in the future.When the foldable iPhone… Read more »
The full list of 9 Senators and 30 Representatives who boycotted Netanyahu’s speech.
The Cackler will be toast in any international relations. Her nervous laugh will make her useless in any negotiations or if she needs to get along with leaders she doesn’t like. What an obvious tell. Love him or hate him, Trump is a good negotiator.
This look at the end….

A grilled cheese sammich would be a better president.

Herb Kelleher is rolling in his grave. I was 19 years old when Southwest Airlines started up. I grew up with the airline from its early, scrappy days confined to the Texas border. Older friends of mine called it cattle car flying, but I liked the cheap fares and planes leaving every 30 to 60 minutes any destination in the… Read more »
Does Oklahoma not realize it would take about one day for “Teach the Koran” classes to be mandated?
The nightmare of High-Tech. Scams involving fake emails in real estate deals have exploded over the last decade, rising from less than $9 million in losses in 2015 to $446.1 million by 2022, according to FBI data. I used to do a lot of wire transfers, particularly in the pre-internet days. I always went to the trouble of going to… Read more »
Hubby asked how I slept last night. Around 1:30 a.m., I had to jerk myself out of a nightmare that was so frightening that I got up and found my bottle of holy water and blessed myself, went back to bed and fell asleep with my blessed rosary in my hand, praying all the while for protection from the Holy… Read more »
Oklahoma has joined the “teach Bible as history” movement: If you’d like to see the details for yourself, the link to Walters’ tweet (above) included several sample pages from the new guidance. It focuses teachers and students on the Bible’s historical context, including themes like literary analysis, comparative ethical traditions (with other influential religious texts), historical documents and speeches, referencing Biblical sources,… Read more »
Another win in the legal arena (dang, that’s a busy place these days!): In a story with potentially Galactic consequences, scrappy ex-MMA fighter and actress Gina Carano enjoyed a huge legal win yesterday. The actress starred as a popular regular in Disney’s top new Star Wars-themed show The Mandalorian. But Disney fired her in 2021 over a conservative tweet.Yesterday, California U.S District… Read more »
And Trump wins again in the legal arena: Trump’s lawsuit against George StepOnAllOfUs for defamation will move forward. Trump’s lawsuit alleged ABC’s anchorman defamed him. Stephanopoulos repeatedly stated on-air that President Trump was found “liable for rape” in the stale, thirty-year-old lawsuit brought by advice columnist, card-carrying cat lady, and one-letter first named E. Jean Carroll.But the jury had found… Read more »
Then Mr. C. compares the departure speech with one from a real world leader – Netanyahu: Maybe the biggest difference between the two speeches was the optics. Joe delivered his brief, creaky address solo, abandoned and alone. The leader of the free world whispered to the country he allegedly leads for the first time in over a week for only thirteen… Read more »
Re the very forgettable departure speech: The headlines gave it away. There were tons of them, but none quoted any newsworthy line. In one of his longest speeches in recent memory, President Cabbage ignored the giant groundhog in the room, neglecting any mention of how he’d gotten to this point, and avoiding any reconciliation of his many vows to stay… Read more »
Today’s C&C: Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Your morning roundup of essential news and commentary includes: a tale of two speeches, beginning with Joe Biden’s short Long Goodbye; then Netanyahu’s triumphant return to Congress and the mostly peaceful protests it provoked; more good legal news for President Trump in his ABC defamation suit; great news for scrappy conservative actress and… Read more »
We have some very nice tenants. One of them just texted me, to inquire after my well being after the power/headache issues from the storm.
We’ve had bad ones, but we’ve had good ones, too.
I find the claim to be staggering: 30% of DNA tests indicate that the supposed father is not the real father. Forcing a man to pay child support for a child that is not his, which also proves infidelity on her part, is just wrong yet it still happens.
My @ 8:30 AM, the old Jon Boat stays at the Tractor Shed most of the time but I sometimes leave it at the pond for a few days in the Summer and I don’t like to just put it on the ground.
A.I.? SO yesterday I built a rack out of fence posts and a pressure treated 2X4 to put the boat on when it’s down at the pond. I took pictures of the rack before and after I put the boat on it and put those pictures in a Power Point file so both pictures would be on the same page.… Read more »
Re: Black Lives Matter
BLM has to have an ulterior motive behind this stance, what is it?
The required
readingViewing today is the MRC News Busters video in Texpat’s @ 7:42 AM. SMDHIt appears that Germany has had quite enough of shiite muzzy extremism. At the end of the almost 6 minute video they ask the question: should Britain do the same thing?
Erick Erickson has posted this excellent MRC News Busters video revealing the utter hypocrisy of of the MSM trying to vaporize Border Czar Kamala Harris.
You know how far the Democratic Party has descended when Black Lives Matter calls them out and makes more sense than they do. We do not live in a dictatorship. Delegates are not oligarchs. Any attempt to evade or override the will of voters in our primary system—no matter how historic the candidate—must be condemned. We demand an informal, virtual snap… Read more »
Texpat has mentioned the dire straights that commercial real estate is in particularly in the north east. This phenomenon has hit Houston, see this video as evidence. That being said, the property on the west side of Buffalo Speedway, south of West Alabama has been vacant for at least 10 years and now there is quite a bit of activity.… Read more »
Good morning gang. There’s a steady rain coming down here at Buffalo Speedway and Westheimer. Trump is right that he should get equal time in prime time to make a political speech; because Biden’s speech was purely political with the intent to get the Ho elected.
This subject is about the Democrat/News Media talking points that are sent out by Bat Signal to stress whatever lie they are campaigning that day. Last night I watched Biden’s speech and he pretty much said exactly what I thought he would. He talked about what a fantastic job he’d done in the last 3 1/2 years and that merited… Read more »
I got a chance to read yesterday’s “Where I stand” and it is a worthwhile few minutes of your time. Short but spot on.
Houston, we have a problem. I was picking up eggs the other day and found this fellow helping himself to one of the eggs. But I took it away from him, grabbed him by the tail and whacked his head against a pecan tree. No more eggs for you. It is amazing how a snakes mouth is double hinged and… Read more »
Dr. Sal thinks the capsized and sunk tugboat Miss Peggy was sideswiped by a big bulk carrier ship in the Houston Ship Channel on July 19.
