I have worn out my bead form, the tray I use to count and lay out my beads when designing my rosaries. This is the one I had. I’ve had it for years, and it has glue spots, worn surfaces, and missing out edges – the latter meaning beads and parts would roll underneath it, to be retrieved later. Maybe. I looked for a replacement today, but couldn’t find one on the shelves. So I wandered into the party area and found this tray. I brought it home and used my glue gun to create channels and “corrals” for my… Read more »
Latin class in a few hours, I’m going to try to get some homework done.
Deponent verbs are mind bending: passive voice syntax but used as an active voice verb. Passive verbs are used when the subject is receiving the action instead of executing it:
Active: He hit the ball.
Passive: The ball was hit.
So, imagine a passive verb used as an active. English doesn’t do that, but Latin has no problem with it. And they just need to be memorized. Fortunately, there aren’t hundreds of them…but still.
This was discussed by Salcedo on his radio show this morning. Salcedo anticipates that Cornyn will “bribe” someone to run in the race, split the opposing vote, and allow Cornyn to eventually win the race.
Because Cornyn is a long-time politician and knows how to play the game, twisting the rules a bit, to get what he wants. I also heard that he’s not planning on staying around much longer because of the poll numbers. He’d rather go out than be kicked out.
I guess it’s 50-50 as to which scenario plays out.
Just heard on Bannon’s war room that a corrupt Texas kangaroo, dressed as a totalitarian penguin, put a permanent injunction against the president’s ability to deport illegal aliens and illegal alien terrorists.
the judge in question was recommended by the Texas cornhole.
even when you vote it too big to rig it’s still always gonna be rigged in the totalitarian deep state’s favor.
A Republican poll obtained exclusively by the Houston Chronicle show Cornyn is down against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton among likely GOP primary voters by 17 percentage points. A Democratic poll shows him down more than 20 percentage points.
The commentary by Jeff Childers in his C&C newsletter is really very good today. The coverage of what has constituted “testing” particularly for vaccines is pretty shocking.
With the remainder of Hamas’ terrorist force cornered by the Israeli military in Gaza, Palestinians have embarked on a campaign of arson, setting off massive wildfires across central and eastern Israel.
“Firefighting teams continued battling large wildfires across the Jerusalem Hills on Thursday morning, with 119 crews deployed across 11 active fronts in a race to contain the flames and protect nearby communities,” the Israel Hayom newspaper reported. “The fire has yet to be fully brought under control, but emergency officials report progress in containment efforts.”
On to global science: changes in our very, very important magnetic field. Without this, our planet is subject to some pretty severe radiation from the Sun. Really bad juju. It’s called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), a part of space high up in our atmosphere. It’s a continent sized (which continent? I guess it doesn’t matter.) part of our sky that is magnetically weak, allowing solar particles to penetrate further towards our globe. Satellites and spacecraft are being affected. It hovers over South America and the South Atlantic Ocean— but it is slowly growing, dividing in two, and drifting northwest.When… Read more »
HB366 is an unconstitutional abomination, an embarrassment for the Texas Legislature and an insult to the people of Texas.
I just did a hand-written tally and 42 Republicans voted for this pile of manure. We had 38 Republicans vote against it, at least half of which were women representatives. Two Democrats voted against this bill with the 38.
Again, 42 Republicans and 60 Democrats voted to cancel your First Amendment rights and expose anyone on this website to criminal charges for posting a parody anyone in Austin doesn’t like.
Why are the “health experts” so “alarmed” over the new testing procedures? You know, the kind where the stuff they want to inject into our bodies is actually tested? First, they argued it’s unethical to withhold a “known” vaccine from people who need protection (they always offer kids and measles as their example). Second, placebo-controlled trials are expensive and take longer than antibody trials, potentially slowing vaccines’ time to market. And third, they unironically argued some drugs might not make it.Michael Osterholm, the University of Minnesota infectious-disease expert on Biden’s transition team, said the change threatened the existence of coronavirus vaccines. I’m not sure… Read more »
Okay, Mr. C.’s prose about the vaccine issue and JFK just tickles my funny bone: Yesterday, the Boston Globe ran a story headlined, “RFK Jr. will order ‘placebo’ testing for new vaccines, alarming health experts.” What would we do without alarmed health experts? Is there any other kind? Anyway, not only was the Globe’s article another fine example of journalistic malpractice, but for careful readers, it accidentally cut the vaccine industrial complex’s femoral artery.On some future day, aging medical school doctors will look back on our time, and tell their fresh-faced students how, back in the day, pharma firms used to test vaccines… Read more »
The left can’t say that Trump isn’t being transparent. At least, more transparent than Biden. Re: Trump’s fourth public, media attended cabinet meeting: Media acts like we all just landed on Planet Earth or have amnesia or something. Joe Biden held only nine Cabinet meetings in four years. Yesterday was Trump’s fourth Cabinet meeting in 100 days, which now exceeds Biden’s annual total during any one of his four agonizing years (President Autopen could only handle three a year). Biden’s meetings were carefully scripted, with Biden answering fewer than a dozen questions over his nine meetings.Yesterday, President Trump himself took over one hundred questions from… Read more »
Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! Welcome to May. Your quick but hard-hitting roundup includes: Trump holds his fourth full Cabinet meeting and lets the entire media question the whole federal government; Secretary Kennedy drops a fact bomb about HHS and child trafficking; huge news from HHS over “radical” policy shift on vaccine approval requirements; and scientists ignore inconvenient, giant, gaping hole in the Earth’s magnetic field that you could drive Australia through.
I’m just now settling down. I had things to do this morning and finally got home. I guess I’ll do a quick scan of today’s offerings before going to my happy place.
PS: I’m going to have to make more pink rosaries. The looks on those girls’ faces was all the payment I need. I’m kicking myself that I didn’t give them one to hand over to their dad before I left the store.

Again, I remind everyone: ignore the accountants, fire the swivel chair admirals, banish the missile-exclusivists, dismiss the PPT transformationalists—when war comes one thing you will hear from your fighting commanders is that your ships do not have enough general purpose guns, and the ones they have need to be of a larger caliber.
