In a stunning move that has the DC establishment scrambling, Director of National Intelligence Gabbard just declassified what might be the most disturbing government document of the Biden era: their deceptively-named “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.” and, The plan’s centerpiece? A comprehensive strategy to leverage federal power for pushing red flag laws and restricting access to firearms, all under the guise of preventing “lethal means.” Because apparently, in Biden’s America, exercising your Constitutional rights made you a potential threat under the guise of combating domestic terrorism.The strategic implementation plan (SIP) pushed agencies to crack down on what it… Read more »
I just finished making three pink/purple rosaries. I gave away the last of those colors last night, to a delightful family at St. Nicholas. Now, I need to get my butt moving and get to the Co-Cathedral downtown. I just checked, and street parking is free today, so I’m going to be heading to Annunciation asap to find a free parking space. With a game tonight, it could be a headache to find a space, and the paid lot near my church will probably try to bankrupt me. So, here’s today’s C&C roundup, after which I’m off to honor God… Read more »
Weather Underground had major problems and down for days. I’ve used it for years and thought it was gone. They are back up now. If you want to get technical about things, go to Windy.com, the site used by commercial and private pilots. An American Airlines captain turned me on to it in Ronald Reagan Airport in DC.
‘Wheeeeee I’m An Astronaut!’ Exclaims Katy Perry During Ride On Disneyland Astro Orbiter. ANAHEIM, CA — Singer and TV personality Katy Perry inspired dozens Thursday after declaring she was an astronaut following a brief ride on Disneyland’s Astro Orbiter.“Wheeeeee! I’m an astronaut!” she said while riding the thrilling Tomorrowland attraction. “Taking up spaaaace! I really feel in touch with the divine feminine now.”Perry described the ride as deeply supernatural, saying that it spun her around and around to the point that she felt “all the G’s.” She is now a bona fide astronaut, she says, because she got to pilot… Read more »
I finally quit procrastinating and upgraded this Mac yesterday. The download was huge and took 4-1/2 hours. Then I went to sign in and it goes to black screen with a buffering circle in the middle. I wasn’t sure what had happened since I walked off and left it for 4 hours thinking it was fine. When I came it was still the dark, unresponsive screen. I decided to shutdown and restart and it worked. I don’t why the sign-in hung up for all those hours.
Somehow the linkage did not make the trip last night, so I am reposting this: If Chevy would make this car, and price it under $50K, they would struggle to make enough of them.
Big story in the local paper says that starting in Aug/Sept a DOT contractor will begin a 2-year-long major rehab of SH36 (Main St.) – all within the Bellville city limits.
Down to the original dirt.
What a nightmare. Wish I could move away for a couple years.
OK I know y’all have been waiting for today’s technical discussion. So today we’ll be talking about proper “Squish Clearance” on a high performance 2 stroke motorcycle engine. 😉 Tutoriel / Réglage de squish Squish clearance, or simply squish. Squish clearance is the distance between the piston and the cylinder head edge when the piston is at top dead center (TDC). If this distance is not adjusted correctly, strong detonations can occur, which in turn can cause the piston pin bearing to break and destroy the engine. Therefore, you should not neglect adjusting squish under any circumstances.To measure squish, we… Read more »
It’s way early, but I just got home from church. After the Holy Thursday mass, the altar was stripped and one Host was put in a side altar (the “altar of repose”). My friends and I did the Seven Churches Devotion, where we went to seven local churches who participated, making their altars of repose available for adoration time until midnight. Then back to Annunciation to get our cars and head home. We found out that two churches will be having confession early in the day: Holy Rosary (starting at 10:30) and the Co-Cathedral (7:00 am to 7:00 pm). We’ll… Read more »
I just put up the weekend thread.
Do you know how hard it is to find an image of a CLOSED tomb? I had to settle.
I just left the most amazing Good Friday service I’ve ever witnessed.
I’m backing up my Mac to Carbonite this afternoon and it’s taking forever.
John Cornin is running for reelection to the senate in 2026.
JUST SAY NO TO JOHN CORNHOLIO
VOTE FOR KEN PAXTON FOR SENATE
Bernie Sanders – Public Nazi !!!
The opening figure needs no explanation today.
A few tears rightfully appeared on my side….

Somehow, I missed this video of a 30 story building under construction collapsing during the earthquake in Bangkok 2 weeks ago.
This A-Whole, Chris Van Hollen, made a blatant Logan Act violation and there really is no debating this point. Will the DOJ indict him?

I just had to log-in after posting earlier this morning. But this is the first time in a while.

Good morning.
Great picture. We’ve made yet another Friday and I still have some mowing to do.
SO! Mornin’ Gang
