This Soviet Stalinist 1930s Propaganda Painting of the Ukraine Is a Lie.
This was the Holodomor, the Holocaust, the Shoah of the Soviet Communists.
Millions of men, women and children were deliberately starved to death in Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
The women depicted in this wheat harvest painting were either starving to death or already dead by the time the paint dried on the canvas.
Holodomor, man-made famine that convulsed the Soviet republic of Ukraine from 1932 to 1933, peaking in the late spring of 1933. It was part of a broader Soviet famine (1931–34) that also caused mass starvation in the grain-growing regions of Soviet Russia and Kazakhstan. The Ukrainian famine, however, was made deadlier by a series of political decrees and decisions that were aimed mostly or only at Ukraine. In acknowledgement of its scale, the famine of 1932–33 is often called the Holodomor, a term derived from the Ukrainian words for hunger (holod) and extermination (mor).
and,
The rebellions worried Stalin because they were unfolding in provinces which had, a decade earlier, fought against the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. He was also concerned by anger and resistance to the state agricultural policy within the Ukrainian Communist Party. “If we don’t make an effort now to improve the situation in Ukraine,” he wrote to his colleague Lazar Kaganovich in August 1932, “we may lose Ukraine.” That autumn the Soviet Politburo, the elite leadership of the Soviet Communist Party, took a series of decisions that widened and deepened the famine in the Ukrainian countryside. Farms, villages, and whole towns in Ukraine were placed on blacklists and prevented from receiving food. Peasants were forbidden to leave the Ukrainian republic in search of food. Despite growing starvation, food requisitions were increased and aid was not provided in sufficient quantities. The crisis reached its peak in the winter of 1932–33, when organized groups of police and communist apparatchiks ransacked the homes of peasants and took everything edible, from crops to personal food supplies to pets. Hunger and fear drove these actions, but they were reinforced by more than a decade of hateful and conspiratorial rhetoric emanating from the highest levels of the Kremlin.
Watching the news tonight about the vicious storm tearing up Florida and states north, the Florida newsman giving the info on the storm’s first serious damage on coming ashore was sown on Ch. 11 at 10. He was standing out in the storm and barely able to keep his balance. Stupid, stupid, stupid having reporters stand outside in terrible and dangerous weather like that. Such dangerous decisions to do so will get someone injured in real time on the tube for all to see one of these days. And the TV station will get itself suedto the Moon and back… Read more »
Mind your pets, two feral hogs in the yards at Woodway Dr along Post Oak Ct.
The storm is pretty amazing. Related rain is now reaching Columbus, Ohio!
Live hurricane coverage from stormchasers.
Pretty interesting coverage of the upcoming Smartmatic vs. NewsMax trial (barring a settlement).
Warning: Typical CNN slant.
RFK talks about our ever-sickening society, and how our diet is involved.
Why I’m seeking to control my health through my diet instead of adding chemicals to my body to manage symptoms.
Karen gets owned. Big time. I do love it when people get their just desserts.
I hope this guy makes zillion bucks off of this homeless deterrent device.
Because I’m a capitalist and he built a better mousetrap.
Pray for Florida. That could be us again.
Texas help is on the way thanks to our Governor. Florida helped us quickly with our hurricane. This one is supposed to be a Cat 4 before it hits. Much worse than ours.
Video from FLA already looking pretty nasty.
My friend and colleague in our singing trio is 80 years old and had a mitral valve repaired in his heart while I was in Mexico.
It just amazing what they can do with catheters now instead of cracking open your chest.
Spotted over yonder; Florida Storm PSA. 😀
The Cackler is giving an address on how to deal with gun violence. I guess that polled better for her than they economy.
More lies and gun grabbing ‘n such. I had to turn the volume off.
I find it more than just a tad hypocritical that the Ds love to accuse the Rs of being ‘fascists’, while they use the government to punish those who do not toe the preferred line, totally control 90% of the media, social media – not as much now that Musk owns X. The Ds use all the fascistic tactics against us yet they call us the fascists and racists. Would that a significant majority of elected Rs demonstrate some testicular fortitude and start the process to pull the fascist weeds from our governmental garden. The shenanigans outlined in this post… Read more »
Seen over yonder – genius homeless sign: “Give me money or I’m voting for Kamala Harris”.
Yeah, I might actually cough up a few bucks.
A father dresses as Darth Vader for Halloween, and this is the result.
Heather MacDonald, scholar and author, is one of the smartest people around and America is lucky to have her. I’ve been a fan of MacDonald for over 20 years. Listen to this 1:16 video clip of her explaining why the whole Covid disaster was the result of a feminine rationale.
It’s not an indictment of all women, but she does illustrate a certain point of view and frame of mind.
I’m out of here!
In case anybody was wondering, the Amish people, whom I love because they keep my local market full of the finest produce, vote 100% for Donald Trump. They show up at all his rallies in Pennsylvania.
I had some chicken stock in my freezers, so I loaded two trays for Elsa with the stock, one for some cottage cheese, and the last one with sour cream. I haven’t done the cottage cheese nor the sour cream yet, but the videos show that they should freeze dry just fine. More stuff for my shelves. Because, as I told Hubby – if they manage to finish the job on Trump, it may not be safe to leave the house, even if the stores could stay stocked. And I put the $1.98 pound of pork butt roast in the… Read more »
Bone, whenever I’ve gotten called for afternoon sessions, they always provided a phone number you could call after 10:00am to see if you still had to go. If you got waved off, you got credit for service.
While I was at Wal-mart picking up some groceries (meat, bread for Hubby, cottage cheese, sour cream, et al), I managed to put three rosaries into the hands of 3 lovely women. The cashier managing my bank of self-checkouts kept saying she was tired when asked the casual ‘How ya’ doin’?’. When I offered her a rosary, I may have put the first smile on her face for the day. Then on my way out, I came abreast of two women, each of which was wearing t-shirts with “JESUS JESUS JESUS” printed on the shirts. I told them I liked… Read more »
The IDF conducted an air strike on a specific apartment in a building in Beirut to whack the Hezbollah commander responsible for drone strikes into Israel and coordinating with the houthis.
Okay, this really is funny. I’m not a big fan of Revolver News although they do come up with a scoop now and then.
Love me some grandbabies. I don’t get to see mine often enough. /sigh Just finished unloading my case of misfit eggs; most of these appear to be of decent size. Sometimes I get really weirdly shaped ones, or teeny ones, or some with shells so fragile that it takes a lot of concentration to not break them while transferring them to my refrigerator. Today, they appear to be about 30% medium, 50% large, and the rest XL or jumbo, with a scattering of small ones here and there. A case of misfits are about $15 cheaper than a case of… Read more »
So far, 1 hour and one group has been called; I was not in that group. It is still possible that I may have dodged a bullet.

Bonecrusher,
Sitting in a jury assembly room anywhere is miserable after the first 15 minutes or so of nothing happening. You have to bring something to read, or maybe several somethings to read.
I was called for jury duty three times while I was still eligible to serve by age, and elected to serve on a jury on two occasions. Both were quite interesting experiences.
I’m in the jury assembly room sitting on a hard, plastic chair, trying not to nod off.
I can think of lots of things I would rather be doing.
She wasn’t even Vice-President ! From the editorial board of the New York Post: Wikipedia users “who accessed the ‘List of executive branch czars’ article on July 24” would’ve seen Kamala Harris listed, reports Ashley Rindsberg at Pirate Wires.But after that date, the list had “no mention of Harris at all.” Behind that change is the way the site classifies “outright leftist or socialist outlets” as mainstream sources while “conservative outlets like Fox News” are rated unreliable.“Reducing our understanding of knowledge to assertions made by a small subset of supposedly ‘reliable sources’” adds “bias into the encyclopedia.”“Wikipedia is a testament to the limitless… Read more »
Surely some of them wish Alex was a bit more private; when Soros met with Harris in June of last year (and posted the evidence to his socials) the tete-a-tete was excluded from Harris’ public schedule, implying that she thought that could prevent people from noticing. The younger Soros has visited the Biden White House two dozen times — with visible consequences, the latest being the FCC’s race to approve a Soros takeover of over 200 radio stations ahead of the presidential election.And the Soros influence will only increase further in a Harris-Walz presidency.During the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Alex tweeted out photos of himself… Read more »
Excuse the Grandpa pride here. I couldn’t resist. Her name is Ellie Ruth.
Eric Adams got crossways with the creature from the Kenyan lagoon admin III when he started complaining about all the illegal aliens being dumped in NY.
he was on a plane to dc to talk about it when his office was raided by the Kenyan’s personal Gestapo the Gestapo bureau of Interrogation.
not saying he’s not corrupt too but the Kenyan couldn’t have him stepping out of line.
it’s bad optics.
you live under totalitarianism now and the pull my finger party is ok with that because they have no choice.

AG Merrick Garland could very easily made the plausible case the United Nations Relief and Works (UNRWA) agency and its employees do not enjoy immunity. The DC Circuit Court and the US Supreme Court have already ruled the same. Garland doesn’t give a damn about dead Jews or living ones for that matter. But the Harris-Biden administration is arguing in federal court that lots of people are above the law — in particular, the many UN employees who helped Hamas build its terror facilities and launch its genocidal pogrom on Oct. 7.In June, some victims of the Oct. 7 massacre filed suit in New York, where… Read more »
Off to the eggery!
Skipping a lot of news about the NYC Mayor, Ukraine, etc., Mr. C. discusses major changes to the US tax code via a new Trump presidency: During his first term, President Trump cut the corporate tax rate nearly in half, from 39% to 21%. Now he’s proposing, for products completely made in America, a tax rate of only 15%, comparable to the favored long-term capital gains rate.Remember: corporations do not actually pay income taxes. They only collect the tax from their customers. [Emphasis mine – the Dems seem to be totally ignorant of this fact as they repeat their mantra… Read more »
Today’s C&C roundup: Good morning, C&C family, it’s Thursday! Good news on the home front and a stormy roundup: Hurricane Helene picks up speed and predictions are off the charts; New York Mayor Eric Adams federally indicted for something secret; Varma exposé expands to encompass health reporters; Zelensky victory plan to start World War III might fizzle; and in dribs and drabs, President Trump is proposing the most radical tax overhaul in our lifetimes. And the C&C Army update: Mr. C’s father is doing much better! The Childers family is grateful to the C&C Army; your prayers produced a miracle.… Read more »
From my ReturnToTradition.org site: Cardinal McElroy can’t have too much real Catholicism, so he’s trying to crush those traditional home schoolers. Because the Bergolian religion can’t handle competition from Jesus. Second podcast of the day: Francis Freaks Out as Vatican Hemorrhages Money There are many, many Catholics withholding money from various collections, refusing to support the Pope’s favorite slush funds. I’m one of them. I’ll support my parish, but no way do I give to Peter’s Pence. There have been so many bad, corrupt decisions with all of that money that I refuse to participate. Plus, there are a lot… Read more »
Finished stringing up a coupla rosaries this morning, about to head out to the eggery and grocery shopping. The mouth is almost all better; stitches to come out tomorrow, but those tenting screws are going to be a PITA for six months. I was wiping sweat off my face during my treadmill time yesterday, and I learned quickly to dab, not wipe, the front part of my right jaw. I’m hoping that with more time that constant discomfort will reduce or disappear.
I know it was necessary, but dang, I’ll be glad when they are removed.
Awwww there is good news tonight.
Talk of the town. At 53 and 47 years old, I don’t think they can do anything personally about the declining birthrate, but you never know. The pair were seated beside each other at the event and were spotted having a deep conversation. One clip posted on X shows Meloni gesturing emphatically as Musck leaned his head toward her. Musk and Meroni have met several times over the last year, including their first meeting at Meloni’s official residence in Rome in June 2023, according to The Telegraph.They have discussed their shared interest in the West’s declining birth rates and expressed their optimism for the future of artificial intelligence.Musk… Read more »
I’ve been running I 10 from Houston to Mobile or Jacksonville for many years so I pretty much know where to buy my gas. SO! I have a question, gas in Louisiana is a few pennies cheaper than Texas except for the area around the Capitol, Baton Rouge where it can be tens cents or more higher than the rest of the state, why is that? Extra taxes for the legislature? Yesterday I was sucking fumes but pretty much knew I could make it on to Lafayette. I decided to get off at Breaux Bridge if the gas wasn’t way… Read more »
Salcedo is discussing the huge radio purchase by Emperor Palpatine, being rushed through by this administration and skipping a “security review,” a process that would delay this acquisition until after the election. By skipping these steps, this purchase by foreigners can start the flooding of the airwaves with socialist propaganda.
When you control the flow of information, you can control the people. The left knows this better than anyone.
Two cows loose on Dogwood and Oak Hallow.

This is a New York Times article; I wonder how much of it is true and who is the preferred candidate to run against Adams in the next mayoral election. I would be very surprised if this indictment is not connected to the next election.
Dang, Bones slid in under the wire while my Hot Spot was trying to load up. 😉
Well I just say Jennifer Reyna doing her traffic report on Ch 11 so I’m good. 😀

Let us never forget: the people currently running the government and I don’t mean VP Kneepads, would eagerly see this famine visited upon the red states in order to further cement their power and position. Birds of a feather.
Today at 12:30 I have to report for jury duty at 1201 Congress; I am not amused.
