Good mornin’, all! I’m up and about to get my coffee and Catholic in, then maybe watch the Trump/Rogan video. Or my westerns. I enjoy watching my Saturday morning METv shows: “Wagon Train”, “Big Valley”, “Bonanza”, etc. Never was big on “Gunsmoke” for some reason, but I like “The Rifleman”. Chuck Connors’ show doesn’t come on ’til afternoon, though, so I usually miss him.

RE: Shannon’s 6:27 AM
I went and opened my big mouth defending GMO products and then I find out my old jalapeños have gone flat because some academics in a lab colluded with salsa makers. I could tell thirty years they were changing and when Pace Picante sauce started making 3 different levels of hot, I began to suspect something was rotten in the pepper patch. I knew enough about peppers and capsaicin to know it couldn’t be regulated so easily.
I’ve tried but I don’t get enough sustained hot sunlight anymore to grow peppers of any kind. My neighbor’s trees have gotten big and started blocking too much sunlight.
The other problem I have is if these pepper PhDs come up with some hotter varieties, the grocers up here will never buy them. These yankees have no palate and are a bunch of wimps. So the solution is for y’all to grow some of these new, hot jalapeños and ship them to me.

I remember back in the 80’s when Texas A&M researchers were all a-twitter about their new milder jalapeño variety.
Little did I know they were on the cusp of screwing up the entire jalapeño world.-
Thank God they haven’t screwed up the bluebonnet world with their maroon variety….I guess it just can’t compete with the original in the wild.
-
-
Get one of those grow light setups like the cultivators of the Holy Herb use.
The mild jalapeños aren’t necessarily GMO; they were just crossbred like that monk and his peas way back when.

This is why I cannot stand Bill O’Reilly. He’s a pompous, narcissistic and phony and always kissing somebody’s a$$. Anyone claiming to be a conservative who says Obama was the hardest working modern president is a flat-out liar.
Bill O’Reilly praised former President Barack Obama as the “hardest working modern president” in an upcoming special for NewsNation.
NewsNation’s Leland Vittert sat down with O’Reilly to discuss his new nonfiction work Confronting the Presidents, which examines personal lives and impacts of U.S. presidents. One example is a deep-dive into the troubled relationship between George Washington and his mother that lasted through her death.
and,
“We were very fair to Barack Obama in Confronting the Presidents. We had a good relationship with Obama. I knew what he was doing it, and why he was doing it. And he wasn’t, in his mind, or in my mind, damaging the country. I didn’t think he was damaging the country at all. Obama is the hardest working modern President,” O’Reilly said.
-
The notion that Barky O’Jugears was anything but a lazy grifter is laughable.
-
O’Reilly was kicked to my curb years ago. I can’t stand to hear his voice. He must pay big bucks to be on for so long and lauded so loudly on some of these radio stations. When I hear he’s going to be “interviewed” (aka: promoting his latest book), I turn it off.

This used to be how Hillary talked about the border on her way to the Hypocrites Hall of Fame. Don’t miss this video !

I support those positions that she took then, would that the Ds would take them now.

This has been smothered by the MSM. Kamala was booed by the crowd in Houston when they realized Beyonce was just bait and they weren’t going to get a free concert.
Can you believe it? This is now the second time the Harris campaign used rumors of Beyoncé performing to give Kamala a boost.
And it seems there were plenty of people who weren’t happy, It appears that after Beyoncé introduced Kamala without performing, rally attendees were a bit miffed, and Kamala’s speech was met with a chorus of boos from supporters who were expecting to get a concert.

Re: jalapeños
i have long been a loyal customer of Cajun Chef brand of sliced jalapeños (pickled), as was Hammie, because they are unwaveringly consistent with their heat. Now I know how they do it.
They’re a bit hot for me these days but I adjust accordingly. -
Woman in Surprise Arizona criticizes the exorbitant pay for the City Attorney, she is trespassed from the public meeting and put in jail. She then goes to trial to fight the trespass charge and the judge dismissed the charge with prejudice. She is now suing the mayor and others.
This is a big win for the 1st amendment. -

I did not watch, but it appears that Ted Cruz wiped the floor with Colin Allred in the debate. After the debate Cruz made a big post that highlighted all of Allred’s lies. Brutal.

If it is true, although it’s probably not, there were only two military fatalities in the Israeli attacks on Iran, then they had full warning and it was probably from the US State Dept. You just don’t blow up critical offensive ballistic missile installations and not kill people. Does anyone believe they aren’t manned 24/7/365 ?

This is funny as hell. Trump in the race to be the most authoritarian president.

Funny and also true. FDR of course. 😉

Voter registration fraud caught in Pennsylvania.
2500 applications dropped on one day and so far 60% determined to be fraudulent. -
I made and prayed my rosaries, listened to my Catholic podcasts (and pachapapa is up to his heretical shenanigans again, no shocker there), and then I got the “white tornado” urge and tackled decluttering the kitchen bar and taking out some boxes. Got a few things set aside to give away.
I’m finally getting hungry, so I guess it’s time to eat.

While my lunch is heating up, I’ll bring you the C&C roundup:
Good morning, C&C, it’s Saturday! Only eleven days left. Make plans to vote, and early. Now let’s get to your Weekend Edition Roundup: Rogan interviews Trump and more records are set; the Washington Post commits the greatest act of betrayal since Benedict Arnold; House Oversight drops report detailing how the government lied their way into a fake pandemic; RFK raises the stakes to ‘ultimate’ in latest campaign ad for Trump; terrific news from the Fifth Circuit that might just be an election integrity game changer.

I have yet to watch the Joe Rogan interview, but here’s Mr. C’s coverage:
Last night, right after the record-breaking interview dropped, the New York Times ran a lightning damage-control article headlined, “6 Takeaways From Donald Trump’s 3-Hour Podcast With Joe Rogan.” The face-off between the former Fear Factor and Apprentice hosts forged political history yesterday and dealt the selected candidate a crippling blow from which she may never recover.
***
Even before the interview began, Trump had already won, by denying Kamala access to Rogan’s show. Rogan says he’d still have her on. But there’s no way she’ll take that interview now, fearing inevitable and predictably brutal comparisons between her’s and Trump’s performance. And that is the point: Trump doesn’t need independents to listen to the interview.He just needs them to know Trump took the three-hour unscripted interview, and Kamala didn’t or couldn’t. And that may be a sufficiently compelling reason to vote for President Trump, since it really does evidence a basic presidential capability.
In the first nine hours since the podcast went live on YouTube, it has already been viewed 8.3 million times. And there are already 196,000 comments. These figures don’t even count additional listeners on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
/snip
But it was surprising to see how much of the world is with us. The YouTube comments section —which developed overnight— was incredibly encouraging. Foreign Trump fans from all over Planet Earth chimed in, wishing America blessings for the election….
***
He ends with the observation that there is no way the Cackler could generate this kind of energy or enthusiasm. -
Following a discussion of the non-endorsement by another left wing media outlet, Mr. C. moves on to psyop wars:
This week, the House Oversight Committee released its long-awaited report on the government’s misuse of psychological manipulation during the pandemic. It’s ugly. The House report was titled, “We Can Do This: An Assessment of the Department of Health and Human Services’ Covid-19 Public Campaign.”
The report weighs in at a very-readable 70 pages. I recommend the whole thing. If you’re time-limited, skim the table of contents on the third page and just read the sections of most interest. For a quick overview of the whole thing, read this Twitter thread summarizing the report written by Stanford Professor and real public health expert Dr. Jay Bhattacharya.
In fall 2020, the bureaucratic behemoth that is HHS… outsourced critical public health communications to a “full-service behavior-change research” firm.
Not a science firm. Not a health firm. A “behavior-change research” firm….the Fors Marsh Group. (We will figure out the names of the involved individuals at FMG. I bet there is a lot more to this story.)
HHS paid this firm just shy of a billion dollars to figure out to make puppets out of the citizenry. With the strings being pulled by the Deep State, the unelected bureaucracy.
They did this by just lying, over and over, inflating the dangers in people’s minds until it was all they could think about. With the imprimatur of the US Government, too many people fell for the fearmongering.
FMG’s plan wasn’t innovative. It wasn’t cutting edge. A child could have done it. They’re morons. They just lied, and they leaned on Americans’ trust in government to sell their simplistic lies. And the bureaucrats running the health agencies and the country’s liberal health professionals all compliantly went right along with it all, facilitating the lies at every step.
Lies are unethical and Liars are bad people. Even, or especially, public health liars. FMG’s whole stupid program was unethical to the core.
It was also overhyped nonsense.
That’s not innovative, creative, cutting-edge, or even smart. All that Model says is, if you scare people by saying they’ll die, and don’t give them time to think, they’re likely to do whatever you say, especially if they already trust the person telling them what to do:
/snip
Worse, it’s not just the billion dollars FMG got. The real cost includes Americans’ lost trust in government. And the lost trust in public health. The lost trust in vaccines (well, that one might actually be a positive). The lost trust in experts. The spiked anxiety rates from the fear campaigns. The broken brains of germaphobes and medical fetishists. The cost to the children in lost educational attainment, depression, and who knows what kinds of future psychosis.
Heads should roll. ™
But the important thing is FMG’s owners got paid. And they were paid well. Very well. They are now set to retire on generational wealth earned from our tax dollars, all wielded as psychological weapons against us.
This House report was a great start toward accountability. Having documents like this is important, because they can be cited as official findings. For example, a court is much more likely to seriously consider something from a House Oversight Report than something some lawyer says. We’re getting there.

And chalk up another one for election integrity, thanks to the Fifth Circuit.
Finally, get ready for what might be the best election integrity news we’ve yet received. At minimum, it’s a game changer. The Washington Post ran the story yesterday headlined, “Court rules ballots that arrive late shouldn’t be counted despite postmarks.” The sub-headline ominously warned, “The 5th Circuit’s ruling in a Mississippi case could have implications for other states with similar laws.”
The RNC had sued for the cutoff date of Nov. 5th, as designated by law, to be THE CUTOFF DATE for counting ballots. Forget the postmark date (like that couldn’t be manipulated).
IMHO, if we’re going to have weeks of pre-election voting, there’s plenty of time to be sure the ballot gets in the mail in time.
Yesterday, a unanimous three-judge Fifth Circuit panel ruled conclusively: the date of receipt is all that matters. The postmark is irrelevant. The date of mailing is irrelevant. If a ballot hasn’t been received by November 5th, it’s too late. “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day,” Judge Oldham wrote. “And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days.”
This Fifth Circuit decision automatically applies to Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana. In other jurisdictions, it will be “persuasive” but not binding. Should another Circuit disagree, then it goes to SCOTUS. Hopefully we’ll find some common sense and backbone there.
If the Supreme Court upholds the Fifth, it will become law in all fifty states.
The judges left the problem of how to handle the current election up to the District Court. But it will be under a lot of pressure to comply with the law. More importantly, this brand-new Fifth Circuit law is now available for post-election challenges in any state where late-arrived mail-in ballot determine the results.
It’s difficult to overestimate the significance of this ruling. While it only applies to one avenue of cheating, that avenue has been completely closed off. And while it only applies in one federal circuit, it ripples across the rest of the country.

everyone knows she can’t win without massive fraud.
the kammunist is an idiot. Dumber than a box of rocks and dumber than the wooden dummy.she’s just another empty vessel for which the creature from the Kenyan lagoon can channel his satanic soul. It will enable him to obtain another 4 years (16 years total) so he can perform his final crocodile like death roll on America.
it’s a travesty this country doesn’t have honest and fair elections and you can thank the go along to get along pull my finger party of the last 4 decades and the myriad of corrupt kangaroos dressed in penguin suits for it.

With Biden and Harris, it doesn’t matter how much you fraternize with the enemy.
The Biden-Harris administration has promoted the senior Pentagon employee who was outed as a member of an Iranian government-run influence operation, Politico reported.
Ariane Tabatabai is now a deputy assistant secretary of defense within Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s office, where she will lead its force education and training division. Tabatabai, according to Politico, was offered the promotion last month. She previously served as chief of staff for the assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict.
Tabatabai became a public commodity after a 2023 Semafor report outed her as a member of an Iranian government propaganda group known as the Iran Experts Initiative. The affiliation saw Tabatabai report back to Iran’s foreign ministry and communicate with senior officials in the hardline regime.

GE Fridge from 1960.
SO! Is it bolted to the floor or does it weigh 2 tons? 😉-
I wish we still had some of those options that were found on the old appliances. I’d love to have the swing out shelves, and some of the other items.

Headed off to the wedding of my Godson’s daughter. Should be quite the soirée as the reception is at the fairgrounds exposition building.
I actually tried to take a date but she’s going to an 18-wheeler tractor pull in Onalaska!!But I get 100 points for asking a woman out for the first time in….uh….45 years?
🙂
-
Did she leave the door open by saying some other time, perhaps?
-
Well you know you can’t beat out a 18-wheeler tractor pull in Onalaska. 😀
And Kudos for askin’. -
Onalaska tractor pull must be the new excuse.

I don’t think Israel is going to listen much to the evil in DC and the EU. Enough is enough and they are going to eliminate the threat . . . .all the way to Tehran.
I think/hope/pray that vanquishing the goat rapers in Iran is going to be much easier than expected as there are masses in Iran that have had quite enough of the mullahs bs. Once it starts, the masses will take over.

I’m watching the Trump/Rogan interview, and Hubby and I both agree that the Cackler couldn’t do it. She can’t talk coherently for more than two minutes – with a teleprompter or a memorized script.

Just got through the Rogan/Trump interview. Good talk but a little softball for some of the criticisms I’ve heard Rogan has had with Trump. I mean, he supported Bernie Sanders, no questions from that point of view?
-
Maybe Rogan softball cause he does not want Kamala? Maybe?
-
Doesn’t look like she will be going on his show, but if she does, seems he’s put himself in the position to softball her as well?
-
Nothing is really a softball for her.

I just stumbled across something over yonder and I’m not sure it is true, any thoughts?
Ghislaine Maxwell/Laurene Powell Jobs picture.-
I don’t have any reason to believe it’s not true. Maxwell was photographed with thousands of famous people.

My thoughts also.

BTW; my @ 7:05 AM, the picture isn’t very flattering but not obscene.

Mornin!
I got tickled during the Rogan talk with Trump, asked if it was a real thing Trump bringing in RFK Jr into his administration, if elected. Trump said yes but he would have to keep him away from environmental stuff, “He doesn’t like oil, I like oil, he can do what he wants with health.” Lol

It will be a YUGE spectacle.
My son-in-law registered for a free ticket to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. There were already 120,000 tickets issued and that was on Friday. People began camping out on 8th Avenue at 10 AM yesterday morning in front of the building.
The MSG, a hockey/basketball venue, only seats 19,500 people so there might be 100,000 people on the streets of midtown Manhattan. The Trump people planned it this way and I hope there’s going to be adequate security for the crowd.
-
I don’t know if you saw my @ 4:13 PM post on Thursday but daughter’s Canadian boss and Filipino wife are going to the Trump Madison Square Garden event.
-
Good luck to them. I don’t go to NYC anymore and the Trump event is going to be utter madness.
-
-
The people in MSG will be a huge magnet for TDS afflicted criminals to harass. I would not go.

The people running higher education need to be fired en masse.
University of Nevada women’s volleyball team decided to forfeit a game against San Jose State because of their tranny player who has already seriously injured one girl. The school administration treated them like imbeciles. Look at this quote:
The university added that any player was free to sit the match out without consequences.
Liilii said Saturday that when her teammates approached school officials expressing their desire to forfeit the match, they were lectured about “not understanding science” and asked to reconsider their stance.
“We felt unsafe and dismissed,” Liilii said, sobbing. “We met with our school officials to give them our team’s new statement, but they wouldn’t even hear it. We were told that we weren’t educated enough and that we didn’t understand the science. We were told to reconsider our position.”

Security at the Air Force Academy prevented a fan from wearing a “Keep Women’s Sports Female” shirt during a women’s volleyball match against San Jose State on Saturday.
OutKick obtained video of the moment security officials told the fan, John Kopecky, that he had to unzip his sweatshirt to reveal what his T-shirt read underneath. Kopecky obliged, and after reading his shirt, security told him he couldn’t display that during the match.
Kopecky told OutKick that the reasoning was due to his shirt being a “political” message, which was not allowed.

My friend just sold his independent pharmacy in Bellville.
Healthcare middlemen — companies known as pharmacy benefit managers, or P.B.M.s, have been slowly destroying mom-and-pop pharmacies throughout the United States. P.B.M.s, which employers and government programs hire to oversee prescription drug benefits, have been systematically underpaying small pharmacies, helping to drive hundreds out of business. Nearly 800 zip codes once had at least one pharmacy, but now there are none. Many of those pharmacy deserts are throughout the Northeast and Midwest of the United States. (The New York Times)…
-
The nail in the coffin is Walmart and Amazon are both going nationwide in 2025 with huge expansions of their prescription home delivery services. Even CVS and Walgreens are feeling a lot of heat.

The pass defense in the A&M vs LSU game was some of the best I have ever seen – both teams. Those are some very impressive defensive coordinators. So many of the blocked passes went down with the defender a hair away from getting a flag thrown, but didn’t. A smart coach will using that game film to teach in the future.

As I’ve said before, I love Vigano. Wish he was Pope. There might be a mass exodus from the Church, but the ones that’d be left would be the Catholics and not the liberal fakes.
Years ago I had a friend and confidant in my old parish who confided to me that he was gay. I really respected him, because he lived out his faith by living in celibacy. He was very active in our parish and worship. Knowing that about him really made me appreciate how some people carry their crosses without fanfare and with respect for the Lord.
And I remind ya’ll of my saying about crosses: We all have our crosses to bear. Some we are born with, some we give birth to, and others we marry.

Citizen Free Press linked to this very enlightening clip from a Megyn Kelly interview of former Trump press secretary Sean Spicer. He reveals what kind of man retired general and former White House chief of staff John Kelly really is. Even Mark Cuban doesn’t have an ego this big.

I put on a big ole pot of chili earlier, 2 Lbs Bambi Round Steak and a pound of ground pork sausage. It’s smelling real good in here now. FWIW; It’s not cool enough for chili yet with temps in the high 80’s but I just had to have a pot to kick off the season. 😉

I had a good mass this morning. I got there early and was able to meet up with a couple. The wife has a broken rosary that I am planning to repair for her (she’s missing a bead, gotta see if she can find it). I got precious hugs from Noel, possibly the best snuggler I’ve ever found. She lets me pick her up and she just tucks her head into my neck. If she can get a foot on the bench, she pushes and we rock together. So sweet. She grabbed a pink rosary from my hand about a year ago, and Dad says they try to help her pray with it already.
I was also happy to find Diego, the little boy who reluctantly picked out a wooden bead rosary at our rosary procession at Discovery Green. He really wanted a blue one, but all that I had on me that day were baby blue variations. I came home and whipped up a medium blue marbled strung rosary and dark blue wire rosary. When I found him and his folks, I explained that I didn’t like how disappointed he was wanted him to pick out one that he would like. His face lit up like Christmas, and he happily picked out the dark blue one. Mom and Dad were very happy; Dad seemed amazed and grateful that I would do that for his boy. I told them the only payment I wanted was a hug, and Diego was happy to do that for me.
So, snuggles and hugs, happy faces all round. Good times.
Then Fr. Felix used his homily on this, the day of Christ the King, to discuss honoring Christ by voting values that reflect His teachings. Father is very active in the pro-life movement, so I’m guessing he won’t be voting for any Democrats.
More good times.

The garden is filled.
75,000 people are still waiting outside to see if they can get in.
Absolutely insane.
75K waiting outside?! In New York?!
How many panties are getting wadded right now on the left? I’ll bet my BETA is having the vapors right now. Which is dangerous. Beloved East Texas Aunt has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel as it is.

I said the Trump campaign overbooked the Madison Square Garden by 120,000 on purpose. The place only holds 20,000 people maximum. They wanted NYPD to have to block off 8th Avenue and 34th Street to create this spectacle of 75-100,000 folks in the streets of midtown Manhattan supporting Donald Trump in the city whose leadership has tried to imprison and destroy him and his family. God bless this man and I would not have said that not too many years ago.

Catching up on back episodes of “Tracker”. I don’t watch much current tv, but I like this show. I didn’t realize season 2 had started – I think I was mixing it up with “Reacher,” which I believe starts in February.
-
I have never understood in these shows that when a good guy takes down a bad guy and leaves him unconscious, they walk away without grabbing their weapons.
Stupid. I mean, unless you kill the guy, odds are he’s gonna wake up some time….
-
This is why all the the good guys die on TV and in the movies. Because they’re simply stupid.
