The outlines of a peace deal are emerging: no Nato membership for Ukraine; a frontier that respects the current military situation; a demilitarised zone around the new frontier; and, I presume, a return of Russia’s frozen assets, and a gradual lifting of the sanctions. Trump even wants Russia back in the G7.
This has left the Europeans furious. The European media, and numerous academics, keep up the increasingly implausible narrative that Ukraine can win the war only if the West maintains its support. But this is how people talk with no skin in the game.
Emphasis mine.
From Shannon’s End of the Transatlantic Alliance @ 7:08 PM last night. It is a must read BTW.
Up a little early this morning and hoping for a little rain. We have a whole .05″ as of 4 AM.

Good morning.

Israel is situated on the 32nd parallel north latitude.
So are Midland and Hillsboro, Texas.The 32nd parallel also serves as New Mexico’s southern border with Texas.

I just double-checked… so is Abilene… well… 32.27….

It was 34F in my driveway around 5:45 and 37 here at the office at 6:15.

The Unherd essay by Wolfgang Munchau posted by Shannon late last night. It is a must read coming from a very intelligent, informed German.
There is no longer any doubt that Europe and America are parting ways. The death of the transatlantic relationship was foretold many times, but at the Munich Security Conference this weekend, it finally ended.
and,
Europe’s leaders are aghast. Some of them, including Keir Starmer, were still peddling the idea of future Nato membership for Ukraine when Trump announced that Ukraine will not become a Nato member. Trump said that, from a Russian perspective, it was the prospect of Ukraine’s Nato membership that triggered the war — a version of events the Europeans profoundly disagree with. He has also concluded that Ukraine cannot possibly win the war (a point on which I agree).

See my @ 4:16 AM and yes it is a Must Read! 😉

Streaming FoxNews reported that Pope Frankie has double pneumonia and speculated that it is both viral and bacterial. If this is true, both viral and bacterial, Frankie does not have long before The Reckoning.

SO! Let’s get this straight; Back in 2024, Eric Adams was not happy with his city being a dumping ground for Biden’s
illegal alienssoon to be voters so he complained. Biden’s IN-Justice department conjured some fake charges that Adams accepted an up-grade on a Turkish Airline and that was a “Quid Pro Quo” and highly illegal. Trump gets into office and drops all the charges so now Kathy Hochul is having an emergency meeting to get him thrown out of office!?!? Can she legally do this? If so how? -
The biggest draw for far-flung corporations in North America to move to Dallas is the central location and two major airports. The Mexican cheese company I profiled here a few months ago moved from central California to the dairy intense area of the Texas panhandle. Their production facilities remain there, but they moved the HQ and sales departments to DFW because a sales rep can take a redeye flight in the AM, make sales calls and fly home that night from any major city in America. They can’t do that from the West Coast or the East Coast.
The fried chicken chain’s U.S. headquarters will move from Louisville, Kentucky, to Plano, Texas, owner Yum Brands said Tuesday.
About 100 KFC U.S. employees will be required to relocate over the next six months.
The relocation is part of Yum’s broader plan to have two corporate headquarters: one in Plano, the other in Irvine, California. KFC and Pizza Hut’s global teams are already based in Plano, while Taco Bell and the Habit Burger & Grill’s teams are located in Irvine.
Additionally, Yum’s U.S. remote workforce, roughly 90 workers, will also be asked to move to the campus where their work is based.

Pachapapa’s health condition has worsened, and the Vatican is “on watch”. He may recover, but things are not looking good for him. Physically or spiritually.
I pray for his reversion to the faith and redemption of his soul. Before he draws his last breath.
And I pray for the next conclave, that we may be given a more faithful pontiff.

Yeah, and I want to know what in the hell the Jewish Family Services of San Diego was doing with over $22 million of American taxpayer money. Along with the Catholic Family Services, the Jews were running an underground railroad for illegal aliens over the Tijuana border.

The last I heard was $3 billion directly to the Bishops and who knows for sure how much indirectly through other NGO recipients of USAID money.

The Left is still teaching censorship and racism, but not under the titles CRT or DEI.
I’m a Providence, Rhode Island, high school teacher. You may remember me from when I blew the whistle in July 2021 on how a new Critical Race Curriculum was creating racial hostility in the Middle School where I taught at the time, and the subsequent retaliation and harassment.
I’m blowing the whistle again, this time as to Department of Homeland Security funding for training of teachers on combatting so-called “disinformation” as part of supposed “media literacy” programming through the University of Rhode Island, called Courageous RI. The training is not what it purports to be. It’s all about training teachers to teach students to become “disinformation” informers. I know. I took the training.
Starting in September 2023, I attended a twelve week online training through “Courageous Rhode Island” at the University of Rhode Island, funded by a DHS grant of over $700,000. The program is for K-12 teachers and is promoted as “media literacy.” But it’s so much more than media literacy, and the impact of the training turned to teacher interaction with students and how students could be utilized as reporting sources.

Good morning, C&C family, it’s Wednesday! In today’s roundup: tearing into the manufactured flu panic, the slow implosion of Big Pharma, and the MAHA movement’s latest victory as RFK Jr. launches an all-out war on chronic disease. Trump’s legal booby traps continue detonating, turning Biden’s own power grabs into weapons for the Deep State purge. Across the Atlantic, Europe is melting down even more hysterically after Trump’s latest diplomatic earthquake on Ukraine.
-
Mr. C. brings up the annual “epidemic” scare and the attempt to drive folks to getting more jabs. He comments at length, of course, on the accuracy of the statements. Then he compares the use of Vitamin D vs. jab juice – and the VitD comes out way ahead.
“At a public health level,” the AI concluded, “prioritizing Vitamin D sufficiency could be as effective—or more effective—than flu vaccines while being far cheaper and universally beneficial.” The machine admitted that isn’t likely to happen, though. You know the reason.
Um, yeah, that’s not surprising. But then, there’s RFK in charge, so maybe that will change???
CLIP: No stone will be left unturned (1:52).
Newly confirmed HHS Secretary Kennedy explicitly declared his first war— a war on the nation’s chronic disease problem. “Nothing, he said, “is going to be off limits,” even though “some of the possible factors we will investigate were formerly taboo.” The former lawyer and author emphasized, “I’m willing to subject them all to the scrutiny of unbiased science.”
/snip
Kennedy said, “We will study the causes of the drastic rise in chronic disease … the childhood vaccine schedule, electromagnetic radiation, glyphosate, other pesticides, ultra-processed foods, artificial food additives, SSRI and other psychiatric drugs, PFA’s, PFOA’s — nothing is going to be off limits.”
“Our template,” he explained, “is going to be unbiased science.”
UNbiased science. What a concept!
Like the other Trump initiatives, Kennedy is going all out. His list of “formerly taboo” topics was also an implicit declaration of war against the entire modern public health-industrial complex—vaccines, Big Ag, Big Pharma, telecom, and chemical manufacturers all in one fell swoop. No wonder Politico and the rest of corporate media carefully avoided quoting it. They don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.
RFK’s “nothing is off limits” approach is exactly what public health should have been always doing (damn their bespectacled eyes!) but from avarice, or cowardice, or both, hasn’t. Too many powerful interests profit from chronic disease. The system was designed to manage illness, not prevent it.
Make medicine real again.

Mr. C. then delves into the connection between the Deep State (U.S. security agencies) and Big Pharma : Pfizer has tentacles into DARPA and the DoD, involving biowar and foreign biolabs in questionable places. (Remember Ukraine?)
The question we’ve begun asking is, why is the Deep State so deeply invested in the tools of “health”? Why are disease outbreaks now treated as intelligence operations? Why are health grants essential to the deployment of “soft power?” Why have pandemics become playgrounds for geopolitical influence?
Pharmakeia. The ancient Greek word for sorcery, poison, and drug administration—and the root of our modern words like pharmacy and pharmaceutical.
To the ancients, pharmakeia referred to witchcraft and the manipulation of alchemicals for power and control. Now, it perfectly describes what Big Pharma and the global biosecurity state have become: a system that doesn’t heal but ensnares, manipulates, and dominates through endlessly escalating cycles of medication and engineered fear of germs.
…RFK now has the access, opportunity, and motive to unearth the concealed corpses of corruption. It’s perhaps the biggest front in the war against the Deep State, and maybe the one offering the most promise of initializing the vaunted Golden Era. If all Kennedy accomplishes is halting the horrifying rise of chronic disease, it would be one of the greatest health achievements in modern history. But if he reverses those trends?
There will be statues. There will be museums. Universities will be named after him. LFG.

Our grandfather, father and mother were all lifelong professional pharmacists and they would be horrified at all of this.

I want this woman, Dr. Deborah Birx, put in prison.
You’ve got to watch the Piers Morgan video. It’s included here on Ace with a lot of other info.
BIRX: He [HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.] made it very, he made it very clear to every mom out there that his children were immunized about childhood vaccines. And what we’ve done wrong in public health is we didn’t explain that COVID vaccines were nothing like the childhood vaccines and that the childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases, you get it once, you don’t get it again.
And this is getting the children to have that disease without getting the deadly consequences. That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn’t designed against infection. And if you look at the vaccine hesitancy rates, they’ve doubled since COVID.
So we have to start addressing these things. We can’t just…
and,
BIRX: The messenger RNA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease because that’s what the vaccine was developed for. But when we say that we’re following the science and the data, we need to follow the science and the data. And the science and the data, said people, primarily over 65, or people with significant comorbidities were at risk for severe disease. Those are the individuals that should have been immunized first, and we should have put our science behind our immunization schedule and protected those most at risk.

Next, Mr. C. discusses an upcoming meeting with the medical bigwigs and the current administration over things the mandated jab, new cancer treatments, etc.
This could be interesting. But next up: the TRO failure to stop DOGE. Mr. C. gives some legal history and background, then this:
Why couldn’t Chutkan uphold the TRO?
In what the New York Times called an “extraordinary declaration,” the Director of the Office of Administration filed an affidavit swearing that Elon Musk is not even a DOGE employee. It also said Elon is just an advisor to the President— with no authority to make decisions by himself, such as firing anybody. Read the extraordinary declaration for yourself. [insert text image]
I told you: Elon is a decoy.
…They are downplaying it, but it was devastating news. They’ve been chasing the wrong person the whole time. The billionaire they love to hate —nobody elected Elon Musk!— is just a special consultant to the White House. But … Musk … may have hinted at authority, he never actually claimed it.
For those of you following the online chatter about this case, the Elon Affidavit also torched the plaintiffs’ Appointments Clause argument. They thought they were so clever wielding it against Trump, since Trump used the same argument against Special Prosecutor Jack Smith. But now their argument has vanished, poof! It is a dead letter.
The appointments clause, which states that certain positions require Congressional approval, doesn’t apply to Elon. The screamers and criers thought they had a Constitutional weapon to wield against Elon: the same argument that Trump had used against Jack Smith, to wit. But Elon is an advisor and doesn’t fall into that bucket. Their arguments have failed. The left has left another big splat mark on the brick wall that is Trump.
It was pure political aikido—using the enemy’s own momentum against them. They built an entire legal argument around a fundamental mistake. Trump’s team let the media and the blue states chase Musk around, and then ripped the rug out at the last second. Now their credibility is cracked, their legal strategy is lifeless, their narrative is nullified, and they’re clueless about who to chase next.
It was a strategic humiliation. Like a cartoon coyote, they set the trap for Musk, but the Acme anvil landed on them.
Trump 2.0 is playing a completely different game, and they still don’t realize how far behind they are.
It’s amazing how scary wicked smart Trump’s legal team must be.
-
Then there’s the Sean Spicer revelation about how his firing from the Naval Academy Visitor’s Board helped set up Trump’s 2.0 administration:
Essentially, Biden fired all of Trump’s appointees in an unprecedented move. America First Legal contacted Spicer to argue in court – and get the court to establish that the POTUS has the authority and power to fire anyone in the Executive Branch. This laid the framework for what Trump is doing today.
Trump was planning his return years ago.
The law firm, America First Legal, is a conservative legal advocacy organization founded in April 2021 by former Trump administration officials. Until July of last year, America First Legal was a member of the advisory board for Project 2025, which is widely believed to provide the template for Trump’s plan to drain the Swamp.
/snip
Biden fired Spicer, AFL sued, and the far-left DC courts predictably ruled Biden could fire termed federal employees at will. Now Trump can fire them at will, too.
This wasn’t just a lawsuit; It was a strategic booby trap—forcing Biden’s own DOJ to argue on the record that the President has unlimited authority to remove Executive Branch appointees, even those with statutory terms. They fell right into the trap.
Again – Trump’s legal team is wicked smart, and the Dems don’t know how to fight smart.
Pun intended.

America First Legal is Stephen Miller’s group and he is ferocious. I remember this case very well.

On the EU panty wadding over Trump talking with Putin and the potential breaking out of peace over there:
Two things happened yesterday. First, the American and Russian negotiating teams met in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and agreed to general terms of a three-part plan. Second, Trump said stuff that wasn’t nice about Ukraine’s Martial Law Administrator and Venmo Glutton Volodymyr Zelensky.
Well, technically, three things happened. Also, Zelensky flew to Riyadh and tried to crash the meeting. I am not making that up. The Saudis politely invited him to return later. But that was just an awkward sideshow.
This morning (midday in the EU), the flummoxed Europeans are noisily racing around like caged hens being pursued by a particularly aggressive wire terrier.
The EU overlords aren’t happy that they aren’t involved in the peace talks. What, we’re not important? No, actually….you’d be a anchor dragging in the water behind the boat.
Mr. Le Drian angrily called the developments a “monstrous reversal of world alliances,” and also an “inversion of the truth.” The French President was also chatty. “Russia constitutes an existential threat to Europeans,” Macron told reporters yesterday. The usually cheerful bantamweight was not optimistic. “Do not think that the unthinkable cannot happen, including the worst,” he added darkly.
Presumably, by “the worst,” he meant the United States negotiating with Russia without the EU’s permission.
Macron convened a second, more diverse, emergency meeting. The first one flopped because only the “important” EU players were invited. The remaining hoi polloi were left banging on the EU gate, demanding to be let into the party. So, second time around…
One surprising side-effect has been that the normally parsimonious Europeans are suddenly and enthusiastically offering to pay more of their share of NATO expenses….“This will allow member states to substantially increase their defense expenditure,” she explained.
By substantially borrowing money.
Maybe. But just now is not a very good time for big-time borrowing. The Times noted that “many European leaders, including Mr. Macron, find themselves in fragile political and economic positions in their own countries.” A French expert quoted for the story added, “Not many governments have the political capital to spend on all this.”
This sounds like an opportunity for implosion. Be listening for the big bang sounds.

If Trump is able to walk the current European leadership into a politically suicidal trap and their reign of error collapses around them allowing populist movements to win elections, I will nominate Donald Trump for Sainthood and demand he win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Details on the talks with Russia: a 3-part plan has been established.
First, the U.S. and Russia will re-establish diplomatic relations obliterated by the Biden Administration. For example, the mothballed Russian embassy in DC can re-open for normal diplomatic business.
Second, the US and Russia will explore brand new geopolitical and business opportunities together. Meaning, no more sanctions. And beyond that, it likely means new joint ventures, probably related to energy.
And third —last and least— they will discuss a structure to end the war in Ukraine.
At his press conference yesterday at Mar-a-Lago, Trump shocked and astounded the worldwide neocon establishment by “downplaying” the Russian aggression.
“I hear that the Ukrainians are upset about not having a seat,” President Trump said. “Well, they’ve had a seat for three years. And a long time before that. This could have been settled very easily. Just a half-baked negotiator could have settled this years ago without, I think, the loss of much land, or very little land. Without the loss of any lives. And without the loss of cities that are now just laying on their sides.”
Trump pointed out that Ukraine needs to have an election, but Zelensky has been refusing. Democracy, anyone? So, now that Orange Man Bad (OMB) and Putin have supported this, the media is forced to support the view that elections are a bad thing.
Then Trump asked the reporters, “Where is all the money?” That question did not bode well for the Ukrainians.
The media hoped or assumed that Trump’s rhetoric would be similar to the Biden Administration’s pugilistic rhetoric about Russia. But it has flipped, nearly evenly. Trump clearly thinks Ukraine could have avoided the war if it wanted to. So do I, for that matter, although nobody cares what I think.
Trump finished his comments saying, “I think I have the power to end this war.” That’s what we are all counting on.
Again, Trump has upended the game table, strewing the original game board and game pieces all over the room. As the media and TPTB are busy crawling around the floor and trying to pick up the pieces, he’s drawing out a new game board on the table.

Truly amazing.
Even today, one of their structures – the Pantheon, still intact and nearly 2,000 years old – holds the record for the world’s largest dome of unreinforced concrete.
How did the Romans do it ? We’ll probably never know exactly how they figured it out back then.
The properties of this concrete have generally been attributed to its ingredients: pozzolana, a mix of volcanic ash – named after the Italian city of Pozzuoli, where a significant deposit of it can be found – and lime. When mixed with water, the two materials can react to produce strong concrete.
plus this remarkable discovery,
And it has another benefit: The lime clasts give the concrete remarkable self-healing abilities.
When cracks form in the concrete, they preferentially travel to the lime clasts, which have a higher surface area than other particles in the matrix. When water gets into the crack, it reacts with the lime to form a solution rich in calcium that dries and hardens as calcium carbonate, gluing the crack back together and preventing it from spreading further.
-
I’ve read a coupla articles about this self-healing concrete. Boy, would that be a help on our roadways!
I’ve been inside the Pantheon. It is truly a wonder to experience. I have a picture of the inside of the dome hanging on my wall.
-
That is fascinating, great find.
-
We’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Pantheon and are completely amazed at its inside and outside as being almost surely a magic creation of the Romans. Our first thought several times over: How did they make and move those very heavy blocks to build it?
And there it sits in the midst of many younger and very much younger buildings. But you can’t miss it even in that crowd.

I think I’m going to whip up some of that freeze dryer friendly mayo recipe that BSue turned me onto. I had to go look up the recipe, but I’m going out of town this weekend, and it would be nice to have some condiment to take with me. I’m planning on FDing some chicken to turn into chicken “flour” for pizza crusts, etc., so I think I’ll be able to fill my trays. I have some stock that can fill in any empty spaces.

Mr. Heater now has a smaller propane directional safe for indoors unit. I’m not sure how that works. I bet they are selling a ton of them.

I actually thought about purchasing one of those for my deer stand but at $60 bucks a pop I said Naw. But now that I think about this last cold winter, maybe it would have been worth it. 😉 As far as using the heater inside I’m guessing that the low the BTU = low carbon monoxide emissions.

Bit of a buzz today regarding the flyer put out there of creating dividends from DOGE savings found in the government coffers to be returned to the taxpayer. I’d prefer the lump sum be better put to use against debt or some other program than getting my little $432 or whatever the distributed amount would be.
-
I’m with you. I’d rather they use the money to pay down the debt, but they’re talking about as much as $5,000 per household. Lots of people won’t lobby against it going into a midterm election year.
-
Either $432 or $5000
I guess it depends on your financial situation.
I need the money.
-
-
How about a 50/50 split between the debt and a refund – PROVIDED THAT IT COMES FROM A SURPLUS and not more deficit spending.
-
I have mixed emotions on this, of course paying off the debt is much more important than some walking around money but I don’t know if I trust them to do that. And yes I know Trump and Musk are in charge but this isn’t my first rodeo.

Wow – didn’t expect this! Vigano is asking the CIA to investigate emails between Podesta and pachapapa. If Benedict was forced to resign, his resignation is null and void, and the crap-filled years of pachapapa are also null and void. His whole attempt to destroy and remake the Church can be rolled back, or at least an attempt to do so can be made.
BTW – the script on the arms of Baphomet statues, very loosely translated, mean “dissolve and rebuild”. Exactly what Francis – and Democrats – have been trying to do. Destroy the existing and rebuild or remake in the new image.
-
I agree. This is the one black sheep out of the flock.
Trump’s nominee to be the next Secretary of Labor is Lori Chavez-DeRemer, one of the worst Republican nominees for a Cabinet position in recent memory. Seriously, this was a phenomenally bone-headed choice by Trump; it’s a serious buzzkill for those of us who have been enjoying the MAGA high since January 20.
and,
Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s Senate confirmation hearings begin on Wednesday. The former Planned Parenthood employee and loyal union stooge needs to be replaced — Trump should never have chosen her. In fact, she’s an absolute gift to the most leftist and most corrupt unions. It is one thing to appeal to union membership, as Trump undoubtedly did in the last election, and another thing to place a radical union ally in a position of high federal authority.
a giveaway to Teamster leaders for nothing in return…

I see that I have started my personal “static electricity” season.

- Two of the laws of nature: 1 1 – The bigger the bureaucracy, the more corrupt and tyrannical it is. 2 – The natural state of any government is one of tyranny. This is why it is critical we have informed citizens who are involved.
I hope Jim Jordan has lots of kids just like him.

Matt Gaetz said the exact same thing. The Ukraine War is “to launder money through” Congress reps are literally, STEALING YOUR MONEY disguised as ‘war funding’ Matt Gaetz “I think that the reason we are as involved in Ukraine as we are is because Afghanistan wound down. If we still had Afghanistan to launder money through, there probably wouldn’t be the need for this type of excessive involvement in Ukraine. But I think we can look at Afghanistan and we can look at what’s going on here and say, what a lot of these defense contractors are pushing toward is how to have an extended kind of low yield war. Like if there’s a way to stretch this thing out, turn it into a 20, 30 year kind of thing where there’s a whole lot of money moving around and unaccountable pots and a lot of weapons getting bought and then all man the stockpiles well we got to spend more money to reload those” American Wars are looking for Longterm Unaccountable Money Laundering US Politicians take their kickbacks from their lobbyist and through scams like FTX to keep the taxpayer money laundering going

In today’s mail was my vehicle registration due in March.
A bitter reminder that those sorry SOBs in the Texas Legislature saw fit to discontinue Vehicle Inspections but continue collecting the inspection fee from us anyway.
Not to mention the fact that the Gutless Wonders refused to discontinue Emissions Testing in 17 Texas counties.
May they all suffer debilitating hemorrhoid pain for all eternity.
-
In New Jersey, all they do is emissions testing. You can drive in with no taillights and a missing fender and get a sticker for free, no charge, if you pass the emissions test.
