I took this from James Goodrich’s comment in Dr. Malone’s Substack. I tried to go to his newsletter, but the link took me to a site without content; therefore, I post his prose here.

If we think about all of the illegal unconstitutional infringements this Biden/Harris administration has executed on the good citizens of America like forcing people to get harmful experimental chemicals injected into their bodies against their will (so much for their cries of bodily autonomy) there is one infringement that many, even the closed minded Trump derangement syndrome psychopaths who say they believe in God and Religion, must see as completely unacceptable, and a reason to never vote for the new communist party in America, would be the Biden/Harris policy of blatant unconstitutional closing of churches and trampling peoples right to assemble, talk about tyranny!!!
There is a reason why the freedom of religion is one of the most important freedoms in our bill of rights. There is also a reason why totalitarian parties or authoritarian governments like the Biden/Harris administration hate religion. Most all religions are based on the ideas of faith, hope and freedom. We have all seen when an authoritarian party wants to forcibly impose its will on a population, faith, hope and the idea of freedom are the last thoughts the party wants entering the minds of its subjects. When a priest, pastor, minister, rabbi or etc. speaks of these things to their congregation, and the congregation absorbs these ideas, they all become enemies of the state. This is the motive for governments church closings around the world.
It’s obvious the mind is such a powerful instrument the authoritarian fears it, the founding fathers knew this, hence the freedom of religion and the right to assemble were front and center in the first amendment.
We should all recognize this power of positive thought. If we allow them to get us down and think our situation is impossible we have given up and things will stay the same or get worse. The enemy would love nothing less than to know they have defeated the minds of their subjects, us. There have been much more powerful authoritarian governments than this democrat communist party, that collapsed because in the minds of the people they no longer believed the parties lies. Through decades of suffering, in many instances, the people will finally rid themselves of the authoritarian communists. It’s so extremely important for all of us to stay positive in our minds. This is why Faith, Hope, Freedom and God should always stay centered in our lives.

GJT,
Condolences on the loss of your wife’s brother. Calls in the late night/early morning frequently bare bad news. The visit with him turned out to be very special.
The 3:30 am call from my cousin in Australia it with news of her elderly mother (my first cousin) having passed away was a jolt. That news kept us awake for a couple of hours.
We never linked the WIP!

I had no idea that cigarettes were ever sold in cans.
Oooooopsie!
since Im absolutely sick of all the lies and Orwellian propaganda on steroids I will be going politics free on the weekends from now until November.
like milk, going politics free on weekends, will do a body good.
In the early morning hours we received a call that my wife’s brother had passed away. Don’t know the cause yet, his wife found him laying face down on the bedroom floor during the night, he had a bloody bump on his forehead but nothing around that his head had struck except the floor. One EMT speculated it may have been a heart attack, autopsy supposed to be tomorrow. He was 61, very active and heathy other than blood flow issues in his legs. We had just spent the afternoon over there yesterday celebrating his and Sweetie’s sister Robin’s birthday.… Read more »
IF a major offensive (no pun intended) is on the way, could this be the way that the Dems try to backdoor the Cackler into office?
“It’s too dangerous to hold elections right now, we’ll Article 25 Biden now and put the VP in until this emergency is (never) over.”
I wouldn’t put it past them. Everything they’ve accused Trump/conservatives/Republicans (those groups may or may not overlap), the Dems have done themselves.
We might be doomed.
Some Kamala Kampaign humor.

Tedtam’s artwork in making rosaries is truly outstanding.
All the bars and restaurants anywhere near the Pentagon are empty.
The Olympics thus far have been good to watch and see lots of Americans doing well representing us. Gymnastics thus far have been the most fun to watch. More good stuff today.
You want real live military intel ? Here you go ! The “pizza-meter” theory is predicated upon the belief that in times of high tension, especially when military confrontation is expected to occur in the near future, Pentagon personnel often order large amounts of pizza to their offices.Frank Meeks, the owner of dozens of Domino’s Pizza franchise in the Washington D.C. area, is credited with bringing the “pizza-meter” theory to public prominence. Just before the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Meeks told local media that he received an unusually large orders of pizzas for delivery to the White House, Congress, the Pentagon,… Read more »
As I’ve said before, the pictures really don’t do them justice.

Made two rosaries today. Trying to catch up ..
This is a very cool story. These three girls and three boys are now out of high school and most serving in the IDF. Six former Israeli high school students are flying high after their research into the effects of space travel on neurodegenerative diseases was recently published in a leading peer-reviewed scientific journal.The findings may have significant implications for long-term space missions and open new avenues of treatment for disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.The study — conducted both on Earth and aboard the International Space Station (ISS) — was led by the students of the Shehakim School in Nahariya… Read more »
Egypt is supposed to be policing and stopping this type of thing. They lie a lot. Israel discovered a three-meter tall smuggling tunnel on the Gaza-Egypt border, large enough to drive vehicles through, the Israel Defense Forces said on Sunday.The army has uncovered dozens of other tunnels in the area of the Egyptian border, but did not specify if they were connected to the cross-border route.The tunnels were uncovered by combat engineers in the army’s elite Yahalom unit as part of Israel’s efforts to cut off weapons smuggling from Egypt to Hamas and other Gaza terror groups.The Philadelphi corridor is… Read more »
Kamala Harris’s campaign took a page out of the Biden White House playbook on Friday, issuing an edited transcript that cleaned up a bizarre comment in which Harris lauded Joe Biden as “a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy and strengthening alliances.”Kamala HQ tweeted a clip of the remark overnight Friday, shortly after Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, Marine veteran Paul Whelan, and journalist Alsu Kurmasheva arrived back on American soil following a prisoner swap with Russia.But the campaign did not include Harris’s full quote, instead opting for… Read more »
RE: My comment at 1:17 PM
I forgot to attach the photo of lithium ion battery installations. They’re putting these in residential neighborhoods. There are more across the US than people are aware of today. Can you imagine one of these on fire near your home ? It’s like having a thousand Teslas on fire down the street.
Israel has been steadily pounding on Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. Funny how we don’t hear much about it in the LSM.
I just returned home from mass. I gave away a total of five rosaries this morning. Three of them went to parking lot attendees that weren’t even Catholic. I darn near emptied out my purse stash of rosaries, and when I came home to reload, I discovered that my stash that I keep at the house is also low. I have been giving them away so fast lately that I can’t keep up with the manufacturer of them. I’m going to have to get busy, and hopefully I’ll be teaching a rosary making class at church soon.
If the government can’t kill you one way, they’ll find another way. The new climate insanity coming to your town. On the one hand, in response to the 733 lithium-ion battery e-bike and scooter fires that have broken out in the five boroughs since 2019, political leaders launched an initiative to ban the vehicles from apartment lobbies.The battery packs that power these unsafe devices are about 18 inches long and 6 inches wide. And they seem to catch fire often, resulting not only in significant property damage, but also in the loss of innocent lives: at least 29 New Yorkers killed in… Read more »
There is something about this airplane that really does it for me.
Outstanding new ad from the MAGA PAC.

The wife didn’t leave me the car seat so I had to improvise. 😀
My @ 7:16 I don’t have time to look for a link, I snapped a picture off the TV to get the quote exactly right. Well I need to hit the shower so I can head down to the airport and pick up daughter and SIL. Later,….. 😉
23 years ago while still in college Shapiro said this; “[Palestinians] do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the U.S. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.” AMEN! This is 100% true and exactly what I’ve thought since Bill Clinton gave everything to Arafat that he wanted to try to establish a legacy for himself BUT Arafat turned him down. As long as Israel exists the Palestinian Savages will not be happy. Of course this has the Squat… Read more »
The Cackler is beyond stupid. This is as bad as She-Jack thinking we could land on…what was it? The Sun?
What’s up all you cream puff eating hosers?
whatever happened to the Friday Music thread?
Hubby came in earlier to ask if I wanted to go restaurant X tomorrow morning, since restaurant Y was still recovering from hurricane damage.
Dang, today is only Saturday. All day long I’ve been thinking it’s Sunday, probably because I attended mass this morning.
Headed west at 6am tomorrow.
Going to tiny Nordheim to see my good friend preach his last sermon there before he takes over the oldest Lutheran church in Fredericksburg next month.
He’s also gifting the Nordheim congregation with an organ concert tomorrow evening.
Good times.
God times.
You know you’re getting old when your wife’s former high school students are now having grandchildren entering the same high school.
That’s one of many indicators. Unfortunately, I’m hitting those more often.
NASA Sis is revamping my rosary handout. When she asked for one of my rosaries when I was taking care of her, I went through the rosary instructions with her. She immediately went into her design mode and said she wanted to redo it for me. She’s already working on it.

Okay, if you’re so danged smart, why did you keep all this a secret till now ? I mean, we’ve had to wait around all this time for MIT to discover something so elemental, so fundamental it changes all the climate analysis with which we have been threatened.

Photons are simply little packets of energy. Energy can be added to a substance via radiation (photons) and conduction. It’s not much of a surprise that photons can increase the evaporation rate of a liquid. Photons absorbed by surface atoms/molecules would be most likely to increase evaporation; those absorbed deeper in the substance would be more likely to raise its temperature. Another option would be that they simply pass through the substance.
In short, the likelihood that light would increase evaporation is a function of the wavelength of that light, since different materials absorb different wavelengths.

I saw a mention and link to a story somewhere about a public Zoom Call meeting called Black Voters Against Kamala. I cannot find it after extensive searching. I have tried Google and DuckDuckGo. The first 5 pages of hits are all Zoom Calls for Kamala Harris links. DDG is even worse than Google on manipulated searches.
OMG ! no, no, no, no….Childless Cat Ladies for Kamala.
Remember my earlier comment about August ? Tevi Troy, presidential historian says: Beware the eighth month !But could there be more? According to presidential history, August is the month we should really worry about, most especially our incumbent president, who has just implicitly admitted that he is not up to the job. This could be a real problem if August does what it often does—deliver the big, the strange, and the unexpected.The most dramatic example of this phenomenon, of course, came in 1914, with the arrival of World War I, with what Barbara Tuchman described unforgettably as “The Guns of… Read more »

Introducing the organization, New Tolerance Campaign, that has created a database and new Hate Map with 184 individuals and organizations on the Left listed. The New Tolerance Campaign, a nonprofit dedicated to applying equal standards of tolerance to balance the Left’s cancel culture, launched its own hate map to counter that narrative.“I can forgive the general public for thinking that hate and violence are exclusively the domain of the far Right—that’s the message they’ve been receiving for years from much of the mass media and the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Gregory Angelo, president of the New Tolerance Campaign, told The Daily… Read more »
