Facebook Is Now Fact Checking Eucharistic Miracles

“Facebook is inserting itself into Church affairs for no good reason.” Nailed. It.

This story isn’t about my religion. It’s about Facebook’s inserting itself into my religion.

Items of note:
1. The picture posted is NOT the picture from Ireland, but another – though mistaken – “Eucharistic miracle”. Someone just used a picture to go with the story, not a picture FROM the story.

2. The Church doesn’t just celebrate every “miracle” as if it were true. There are strict testing guidelines before a miracle is proclaimed. Many times, these events are not miraculous, even though people may think so.

3. The Church has barely begun investigating the event in Ireland yet, so no determination of “miraculous” has even begun to happen.

4. Last, but not least, why in heckfahr is FB trying to determine whether an event is a sacred miracle? The folks there wouldn’t recognize “sacred,” “holy,” or “miraculous” if it slapped ’em in the face. And it should. Because they need it.

5. I don’t need FB to inform me, protect me, or guide me on anything relating to my religion. They don’t know my faith, understand my faith, or respect my faith. The fact that they think they can tell me anything about my beliefs is…utter hubris.

    Uh oh Hal is back.
    Well I’m just tickled that we got 2.31″ of rain in about an hour, yesterday. I was just hoping for enough to save the grass but with this rain will really help raise the water table, I.E. ponds.

    I never knew that the Russians had an unsuccessful supersonic plane.

    Yup and we had two of them the Lockheed L 2000 and the Boeing 2707.
    I remember this cold war story well but the Apollo program got much more coverage and when the smoke cleared was just down to the Concorde and the Tupolev.

    Good morning gang.  Things should be returning to normal out here today, with both winds and temps returning.  Some chance of the tropical storm developing in the Gulf finding it’s way up in our direction for the weekend.  In the meantime, you folks on the coast had better look out – the storm is gonna get cha.

    Not certain what all else is in store for the day.  But I’ll keep you posted as it develops.  In the interim, you all have a great one.  More later.

    Putting things into context. A novel concept not understood by many, and willfully ignored by others.

    First, there’s the baseline problem: a list of nearly 100 incidents disrupting food supplies certainly seems like a worrisome trend. But what’s the context? More than 2 million farms operate in this country, and about 35,000 food and beverage processing centers. The NFPA doesn’t specifically track fires at food-processing plants. But it does report that roughly 5,000 fires occur every year at all types of manufacturing and processing facilities combined—nearly 15 per day. In addition, the group says, in 2019, “more than 2,000 fires occurred in agricultural, grain and livestock, and refrigerated storage facilities.” At this rate, perhaps we should be surprised there aren’t more incidents included on the lists of supposedly suspicious events.

    Experts also stress that farms and food facilities are fire-prone environments. Agriculture is a notoriously dangerous pursuit, involving heavy equipment, explosive fuels and chemicals, and huge quantities of straw, grains, and other flammable products. (Just Google “barn fire.”) Food processing involves additional risks. “Food is fuel,” notes NFPA research director Birgitte Messerschmidt. These facilities process sugar, flour, fats, oils, and other flammable ingredients using ovens and similar heat sources.

    The article even notes something I mentioned here that I have a personal connection with.

    And some of the events included on these lists are just obvious stretches. “Fire destroys East Conway Beef & Pork Meat Market in Conway, New Hampshire,” reads one item. No doubt, the loss of a small-town butcher shop is a local tragedy. But it is hard to see it as a national emergency.

    We’re going to be compared with the Loony Left by the Independent voters we rely on to stop the spread of Socialism. Its important that in the comparison we end up looking like the sane ones.

    Back from TOK, but nothing new to report on for now.  Only local issues under discussion.  Starting to warm up again early this morning, and it looks like the hot weather is back.  Took a walk around earlier this morning, and the ant beds appear to be limited.  I could mow, but think I’ll wait a couple more days before I do that.  So we’ll just see what else comes up as the day progresses.

    Interesting observation this morning – a couple of different people came in to Larry’s for the morning breakfast taco wearing masks.  First time I’ve seen mask wearers here in SS for quite a while.

    Once again great OC and supporting clip.

    I think what Face Book, Google, Twitter are doing is multi-faceted .

    Yes FB is interjecting themselves into Church matters. But I think the real goal is to run interference for the Left by creating “Defining Moments” to take the focus off what is really important.

    Unfortunately most of us have a short attention span. Couple that with everyday activity that requires our undivided attention and the reality is we can only process one “Defining Moment” at a time.

    Seth Rich was a “Defining Moment” but there have been a thousand since. Seth never got the investigation he deserved.

    Ray Epps is another and the list is endless.

    Social Media and MSM have perfected this diversion tactic to take our focus off the Ball.

    The Ball is:

    The Pope and his agenda
    Biden and his agenda
    Inflation
    Threat of War
    Gun Control
    Etc….

    For my money Balancing The Budget should be the primary focus.

    Because if America goes bankrupt everything else is mute point.

    Make me President for Day and I would lock The House in their sacred chambers and not let them out until the Budget is Balanced.

     

    Tedtam

    It is my continual prayer for our Church leaders because Satan is attacking them at all angles and using Social Media and MSM to do his bidding.

    You might be able to slide off to the Vatican while you are in Italy and Tac a Tedtam Papal Bull to the Door.

    At least it would give them notice Parishioners are watching.

    Later gotta go putter around the house and fix stuff.

    Within the last couple of days, the current spokes-hole for Bidet, actually stated that it was a matter of fact that the southern border is closed. The absurdity of that statement is insulting in the extreme.
    The Ds have had a love affair with slavery since the founding of our country. The mass importation of hordes of peasants (at $10,000 a head FOR THE CARTELS) is just another link in the slavery chain from which the Ds profit.

    Grampa Wild was buried yesterday at Alpine City Cemetery. He had a 21 gun salute and his son Skip received the flag. My son Kason was one of the Pallbearers. He was his Great Grampa Wild’s “Little Spud” an, of course, there are adorable pictures of the two interacting together starting when Kason was around 1 year old. Kason and Breelahn successfully returned to Houston last night. Niki returns tonight.

    Tedtam Papal Bull. You have no idea how tempting that is.

    I sent in my deposit yesterday, and reviewed some of the paperwork. It seems we are having a papal audience as one of the first things we do.

    I’m hoping it’s with a bunch of other people and I can hide in the back. I despise this Pope so much that I will have to call upon all my strength of will not to embarrass or cause problems for my priest. He’ll be with out group, and I really like and respect him.

    Coffee & Covid ☙ Thursday, June 30, 2022 ☙ SPLURGING
    ******************************

    Good morning C&C! It’s Thursday, and I have an epic roundup for you today: DeSantis impanels a statewide criminal grand jury on illegal immigration; Pfizer splurges on Colombia; a literally unbelievable connection to Cassidy Hutchinson; I reply to a critical commenter about the Armenian biolabs; poor Doctor Fauci’s Paxlovid misfire; a surprising country takes first place in MonkeyPox; we learn where some of our Ukrainian aid money is going; and a Ukrainian asks a really good question.

    *****************************
    *THE C&C ARMY POST*

    I need to start preparing you guys for next week. After a two-year hiatus for a virus, the courts are finally back to holding jury trials. They were sidelined because jury trials can’t be effectively conducted over Zoom. Now my turn has come up, and one of my cases is going to trial next week, Tuesday through Friday.

    Conducting a jury trial well is one of the most physically and mentally demanding parts of a litigator’s job. I’ve never done a jury trial while blogging before. I have no idea what kind of blogging time I’m going to have. I’m thinking it will be pretty thin, at best. But don’t worry! I’ll make it up to you guys on the back side, I promise. [I’ll try not to go into withdrawal. Have to have my snark in the morning!]

    ************************

    WARNING: There are some relevant but unavoidable links in today’s post including some adult language (F-bombs) and some mildly offensive images (dancing bikini-clad females). Parental supervision is suggested for younger readers. [I’ll try to clean up what I can, Hammy’s Grammy rules still apply.]

    ******************************

    *COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*

    Yesterday, Florida Voice ran a story headlined, “Supreme Court Grants DeSantis Request for Grand Jury to Investigate Human Smuggling from Southern Border.”

    The article reported that DeSantis ask the Supreme Court to impanel a special statewide grand jury to investigate and prosecute people who are helping relocate illegal aliens into Florida. The order also authorizes investigation of a host of related offenses, including crimes involving narcotics, bribery, computer-related crimes, fraud, and money laundering.

    Get ready.

    It’s a brilliant strategy, and once again, Florida is leading, showing other states how to push back against the federal government’s scheme to drop aliens off all over the country.

    “People coming illegally, a lot of them are trying to get here in the state of Florida,” DeSantis told reporters when he filed the petition. “This is something that absolutely affects us. The drugs that are coming in affect us.”

    Corporate media is going to lose its collective mind when arrests begin. [PASS THE POPCORN!]

    ********************************

    Columbian media outlet Cambio broke a story this week shedding a lot of light on vaccine “science.” On October 9, 2021, Pfizer splurged on a gala event on a yacht in Miami harbor attended by Colombian politicians, lobbyists, and Pfizer executives, billed as a lobbying event, since Pfizer “seeks to expand” its business in that country. I’ll let you decide for yourselves, but the “lobbying event” seems to me to be more of a sordid debauch than a “get to know you” reception.

    The images broadcast by the media show practically naked young ladies cavorting and drinking alcohol along with Columbian presidential candidate Hernández, other politicians, lobbyists, and Pfizer executives. In the video, Hernández dances playfully with one young woman and, at another point can be seen whispering sweet nothings in another woman’s ear.

    https://youtu.be/IOFfsxhMGB0

    Hernández, the older gentleman in the video, is one of Colombia’s presidential candidates. According to Cambio’s intel, the young women and the yacht set Pfizer back ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. In other words, Pfizer paid $11M for ONE PARTY just for a CANDIDATE. That’s literally unimaginable. Try it. Try to imagine a lifestyle where you attend $11M yacht parties.

    How much have they spent entertaining politicians overall, on ALL the parties?

    Cambio also reported that its investigation showed Columbia overpaid a little for the Pfizer vaccine. A little meaning $375 MILLION DOLLARS. Plus, it agreed to give Pfizer blanket liability, meaning injured Columbians, whose tax dollars paid for the vaccines, now have no recourse against the pharmaceutical giant. Sorry!

    My question is, how many of these “events” has Pfizer offered to other politicians in the name of “lobbying?” Isn’t this more of a sex bribe? How many politicians can really be bought off this cheaply?     [Well, 99% of the Democrat party, we know that for sure. And a good chunk of the R’s as well. Just my opinion.]

    There should be a formal investigation of all lobbying efforts related to the vaccines and to figure out how these international contracts were negotiated, at minimum.     What has Pfizer “provided” to U.S. politicians? If we only had a government that wasn’t captured by pharmaceutical interests, we might find out the answers to these questions someday.

    Maybe the Russians will do it.

    **************************

    Okay, this next story is absolutely bonkers. I PROMISE I am not making this up. Yesterday I told you about the J6 Committee’s newest star surprise witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified among other things that President Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the Presidential limousine to go fight at the Capitol.

    Even though it was a facially laughable claim, and even though Hutchinson was testifying about hearsay — she wasn’t there herself — the Committee and corporate media credulously lapped it all up, for about ten seconds anyway, until people who WERE there, like Secret Service agents, started popping up with lawyers, ready to testify that it never happened. Whoops.

    The story exploded on social media, and in one dramatic development, MSNBC was interviewing oily House Representative and Committee member Jamie Raskin when it appears somebody tells him something in his earpiece, and then he promptly hangs up on the interview. Bloop. Never seen THAT before.

    Jamie Raskin: *disappears*

    June 29th 2022

    With me so far? It gets better. Next, remember how I told you a couple days ago about this anonymous online person or group named “Q” who had the corporate media in a tizzy this week because he’d reappeared after a long hiatus? And how the media’s over-reaction was making me think there might be something to this Q person after all?

    Yesterday, the Cassidy Hutchinson story connected to the Q story in a giant shower of sparks. Bzzzzt!

    So, early in the morning yesterday, before Cassidy’s testimony, the Q account posted a cryptic message mentioning her:

    This is how badly Cassidy Hutchinson’s awful over-the-top testimony hurt the Committee: people began speculating that the former aide was actually a false-flag torpedo — a plant — designed to sink the Committee’s credibility battleship. That’s how awful the testimony’s fallout was.

    And then the story got even crazier! It’s not just online Q fans speculating about Q knowing or predicting that Hutchinson was a plant. The House Committee emailed the guy who runs the online site where Q posts, Ron Watkins, asking him if he’d accept service of a subpoena:

    So even the House Committee now suspects Q — whoever they are — might have known something, and more hilariously, even the House is wondering if Cassidy was a plant! Hahahahahaha!

    Look: this is litigation 101. To avoid embarrassment, before you call a hearsay witness, do some basic due diligence to confirm their story.

    I don’t know what is really going on, or who or what Q is, or how incompetent the J6 Committee could possibly be, although I could guess, but this is one of those stories that makes me wonder whether we’re actually living in a simulation and the bored night shift staff just got creative.

    Correction Corner: This week, I unfairly discounted Q’s early predictions of arrests and prosecutions of an alleged elite international pedophile network. In fact there HAVE been arrests and prosecutions meeting that description: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and most recently, R Kelly. Plus, Epstein’s arrest does actually seem near-miraculous; after decades of bulletproof political protection, he was suddenly unprotected. How?

    ******************************

    Anyway, if Cassidy’s story is actually true, if it DID really happen, it probably looked like this [Y’ALL REALLY NEED TO WATCH THIS! HAHAHAHA!]:
    https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1542319958948020224/pu/vid/480×270/6t5l6gD5JSYn0Vch.mp4?tag=12

    **********************************

    MAILBAG: After I reported on the US-linked Armenian biolabs, and Russia’s related complaints, a commenter criticized me for credulously falling for former KGB-leader Vladimir Putin’s psyop, since Putin was just using the Armenian biolabs story as prop to attack America, or something. I’d like to set the record straight.

    Bioweapons research is illegal, both internationally and within the U.S. It seems unlikely to me that there’s any good excuse for the U.S. to be building expensive, high-tech biolabs in all these unsecure third-world countries where laws aren’t well enforced and local officials are easily bribed. But maybe there IS a good excuse? IF SO LET’S HEAR IT.

    What’s the excuse?

    If Russia’s biolab complaints are in fact just a psyop, tell us WHY. If the labs are just innocent but misunderstood good-faith research outposts diligently toiling away in the third world to keep us safe in America, by studying bugs in remote places like Ukraine, Nicaragua, and Armenia, then just OPEN THE LABS.

    Frankly, I would go, myself, but I’m guessing they wouldn’t even let me in the parking lot, much less the building. For safety or something.

    If we really are acting in good faith, END THE MEDIA EMBARGO on the story. Sure, I get it, why repeat Russian propaganda? But the Russian propaganda is WORKING. It’s making us look terrible. Therefore ignoring the propaganda seems like a reckless strategy.

    You know what would defuse the Russian propaganda? TRANSPARENCY.

    Let’s see the contracts, the staffing, the inventories, the shipments. If the labs aren’t military, there’s no need for secrecy. If they ARE military, it looks a whole lot like either laws are being outright broken, or the government is exporting operations that would be illegal IN the United States to third world countries and remote areas where local folks are ill-equipped to resist.

    Remote places like, say, Wuhan, China. And we all know what Book of Revelations-style fruit flowered from that innocent little research outpost. After Wuhan, the National Institutes of Health does NOT get the benefit of the doubt. They need to start showing their work. Like, now.

    Maybe Russia has manifestly earned a lot of fair criticism. But sadly, we are in no place to criticize them, not until our own house is squeaky-clean. Russia is taking advantage of our real or apparent hypocrisy.

    My vote is: dump the dissembling and start the scrubbing.

    ****************************

    Oh no! Poor Dr. Fauci. The nation’s Top Covid Doc recently came down with a symptomatic case of the virus, as you know. The old beagle torturer must have thought he was at risk, because he started taking Paxlovid. Now THIS happens. He just can’t catch a break.

    The Hill ran a story yesterday headlined, “What Is COVID-19 ‘Rebound’? CDC Explains Phenomenon Affecting Fauci, Some Paxlovid Users.” Uh oh.

    That’s right. Fauci fell victim to Paxlovid rebound, where people taking the miracle drug catch an even worse case of covid after seeming to improve for a few days. On the fourth day of his treatment using the safe and effective drug, Fauci tested positive AGAIN. He also began to experience worsening symptoms. “It was sort of what people are referring to as a ‘Paxlovid rebound,’” Fauci told reporters.

    “Sort of.” And, it’s not a drug failure, dummies. It’s a “rebound.”

    So what’s a covid expert like Fauci to do? There’s only one possible option, and he bravely accepted it. Fauci confirmed he is currently taking ANOTHER course of Paxlovid! Hahaha! Of course! If it doesn’t work the first time, do it MORE!

    Fauci said Tuesday that he’s feeling “reasonably good,” but “not completely without symptoms.” For now, the 82-year-old bureaucrat has to stay home from work. The Hill reported Fauci will return to his job at the NIH once he tests negative for the virus.

    So!

    ********************************

    MonkeyPox Update! The latest figures show two countries with so many proportional Monkeypox cases they are clear outliers: Portugal, in second place, and Vatican City, in first. [Hmmmm…monkeypox is an STD. The “Fr. James Martin” brigade within the ranks of the Vatican/priesthood would have nothing to do with this spike, right? /spits ]

    Now, in fairness, Vatican City has a tiny population, so only a few cases would tilt it toward the high end of the proportional scale. But still. The Vatican. Don’t make me say it. [I already did. /spits ]

    Zelensky’s Team is buying up expensive real estate in Switzerland with #Ukraine-aid While sponsoring countries go bankrupt

    In Switzerland the local land registry is public domain

    3 properties bought by Zelenskyy Ukraine leadership total $ 27 million

    So at least we know where some of that $60 billion we’ve sent to Ukraine so far is going. I bet the Swiss properties are nice, too. One of them sold for $9 million dollars.

    I wonder if we could borrow it some weekend.

    *******************************

    The Ukrainians have finally blown the Russians off tiny Snake Island, which media now reports is a “key” strategic location, a fact they completely failed to mention during the last two months of Russian occupation.

    For its part, the Russian Ministry of Defense laughably said it voluntarily retreated in an act of “goodwill.”

    *****************************

    The latest debate about whether Ukraine or Russia is worse involves a blown-up urban shopping mall in Kyiv that Ukraine says Russia deliberately targeted, and Russia says was right next to an ammo storage warehouse, which was the actual target, and the shopping mall just got caught in the explosion’s fallout.

    Either way, at least SOME Ukrainians are starting to ask the right questions (warning- adult language):

    Clean version: whoever is to blame, why the heck would the moronic government of Ukraine store high-value ammo right next to a downtown shopping mall? Why not put it out in the country somewhere where explosions can’t hurt anybody? Dummies. They’re using their own citizens as human shields to protect their assets.

    Good Morning Hamsters,

    Yesterday’s presumed rain forecast out here did not give us one drop on either side of the Brazos. Promises for today are the same as yesterday, high overcast again, no breeze to speak of, and don’t hold your breath. But if today fails, Friday through the weekend is supposed to bring the real thing. Really.

    Purrscilla kitty is parked behind the screen on the computer desk, her usual vantage point for finding out what is going on. Not much apparently, since she just left. Talking with my fellow Hamsters apparently does not rate as interesting for her. Her loss.

    So you have officially joined the left cancel culture.  They started out telling us what we should say and should not say because it might “offend someone”.  Now you say we should censor ourselves for the sake of some “independents”.  We have been compared to lunatics ever since I can remember.  If we have to rely on them to stop socialism. well then truly all is lost.

    Independents…… now there is a conspiracy theory.  If they do exist I do not see them censoring themselves in fear of looking like the lunatics to us.

    Here, maybe YOU should join Joe.  Another conspiracy we should not talk about ehhhh?

    Re: Vatican and monkeypox – I kinda wondered what punishment God would enact after the Pope claimed the Covid jabs were “a gift from God”. Pope don’t know the diff between a gift from The Almighty and an invoice from Pfizer?

    It’s not just the Catholic Church. About a year ago Francis Collins of the NIH (a self-proclaimed evangelical) held an outreach to high profile evangelical pastors urging them to promote the vaccine from the pulpits. The pitch was that taking the shot was the Christian thing to do under the guise of love thy neighbor. The fact that so many of our Christian “thought leaders” fell for it hook, line, and sinker without a shred of critical thinking is not reassuring.

    Many of these same people have been quiet as a church mouse in the wake of Roe being overturned, apparently afraid to provoke the left’s anger by acknowledging this great victory. Be very careful who you follow for spiritual leadership, many have shown themselves to me more concerned with the opinion of man than pleasing God.

    Well said. The vaccine is the golden calf

    It’s a tragedy what COVID did to churches everywhere. It certainly created hard feelings in our church. Some members left because our pastor refused to be vaccinated. They said he had the duty “to sacrifice himself for the congregation.”

    Many Catholics, including myself, are not pleased with the leadership of Pope Francis

    Remember Judas, chosen by Christ. No church is perfect, but church teachings can be. [What I cling to…]

    They were celebrating PRIDE MONTH a little too much – what happenes at the sistenth chapel stays at the sistenth chapel….

    And since monkeypox seems to be affecting men having sexual contact with men = vatican. Not surprised at all. Portugal has a 92% fully vaxxed status so that makes sense too. And I do understand that there are a lot of great priests in the church etc. I am not anti catholic etc.

    Yes, the only path toward maintaining sanity and hope is knowing that there is a holy, just, and righteous God in charge of the universe. And that he will mete out justice.

    BTW, I saw a rep from White Coat Waste on Newsmax. Another NIAID funded Beagle experiment starts in a month ~ apparently a repeat experiment using 108 Beagle puppies.

    In a rational world, folks would see that the “treatments” don’t just not work, but sicken and kill. But these days there are more genders than rational thoughts.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve shared this verse here before, but for some reason, it’s a recurring theme. Maybe it’s because of all the wicked people doing wicked things and suffering “rebound” in one form or another.

    “Let the wicked fall into their own nets,

    While I pass by safely.”

    Ukrainians buying mega-mansions with government money? I had not realized that Zelensky uses the BLM playbook.

    It looks like the Russians will have to expose all the corruption, biolabs, money laundering etc by our government and all its agencies since we no longer have an actual press Corp or Justice department who does that. Transparency is a must.

    “How many politicians can really be bought off this cheaply?”

    LOL! Vatican City #1! I’m a Catholic and thus couldn’t happen to a more deserving regime. Francis is reaping what he has sown. You play with monkies and you get the pox.

    So you have officially joined the left cancel culture. They started out telling us what we should say and should not say because it might “offend someone”. Now you say we should censor ourselves for the sake of some “independents”. We have been compared to lunatics ever since I can remember. If we have to rely on them to stop socialism. well then truly all is lost

    Total crap and you’ve missed the point by a wider margin than Biden misjudged inflation.

    You’re not “censoring yourself” when you check to see if what you’re saying sounds insane to most reasonable people, especially those who bother to check. So you need to check whether or not what you’re fixing to say is true. When you say that a fire at a local butcher shop is evidence of a wide spread conspiracy you sound exactly as crazy and untruthful as the ones who say that th President grabbed the wheel of the limo from the back seat.

    I can’t believe that the advice we’re being given is “Go ahead, be just as crazy and lie as much as the other guys.

    To put a finer point on it:

    We’re experiencing high inflation and gas prices right now because that is the ontended effect of policies enacted by those currently in power and thosevthat helped put them there. We know this because they have madecstatements that tos was their intent.

    The theory that there is a deep dark conspiracy to destroy food processing centers to cause wide spread hunger is easily disproven once you find out that the number of fires and accidents aren’t any higher than tehyv bee for the last 50 years.

    Pick your conspiracy theories wisely, especially if you want to destroy the Leftists. Otherwise, you end up looking like the folks who are saying that overturning Roe will result in outlawing mixed race marriages.

    So you didn’t read the article I linked to, or the one one that was posted here about a week ago that addresses both the validity of some of those instances (like the plane flown by a student pilot crashing 300 yards away from the food plant and the small town family butcher shop being counted among them).

    If youre going to count those among the 96 instances, then you have to factor in the fact that there are 35,000 food processing facilities in this country that are of the same size as both of those instances. Ninety six out of 35 000 is a drop in the bucket, and pretty much normal and have been for decades.

    HEADLINE: Biden Takes Aim at America’s Largest Oil Field, Threatens to Stop Production, Sending Gas Prices Soaring
    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is preparing to cite the United States’ largest oil field for violating ozone pollution standards, a move that will threaten the end of oil and gas production in the region.

    According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically.

    This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.

    I wish the above were really a BB article. It is not. SpongeBrain Bidet goes begging around the world for more oil production and his agency moves to shut down even more production here at the same time. Like drilling more holes in the bottom of the boat and using a smaller bucket to bail it out. Add to that a looming shortage of Diesel exhaust fluid and the UP refusing to ship fertilizer and one could reasonably conclude that this administration is trying to destroy the country. I guess the big reset requires complete destruction of the old ways that worked really well and most of the productive people. This will surely not work well.

    HEADLINE: Fauci reports COVID rebound, says his is “much worse” than initial illness
    /snip
    In an interview Tuesday at Foreign Policy’s Global Health Forum, Fauci recounted the progression of his infection to his current rebound, which he said has been much worse than his first round with the disease. Fauci—the director of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to the president—is 81 years old and has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and boosted twice.
    He first tested positive on a rapid antigen test on June 15 and experienced “very minimal symptoms.” But his symptoms worsened and he began a five-day course of Paxlovid. “And I felt really quite well,” Fauci said, adding that he just had mild nasal congestion and fatigue. When he had finished the five-day course, he had reverted to negative on antigen tests for three consecutive days. But, “then on the fourth day—just to be absolutely certain—I tested myself again, and I reverted back to positive … and then over the next day or so I started to feel really poorly, much worse than in the first go-around.”

    Fauci subsequently went back on Paxlovid for another five-day course. “Right now, I’m on my fourth day of a five-day course of my second course of Paxlovid,” he said Tuesday. “And, fortunately, I feel reasonably good, I mean, I’m not completely without symptoms, but I certainly don’t feel acutely ill.”

    Fully vaccinated and boosted twice and he still got the ‘rona? HOw is this possible, we were all told that if you got the shot you would not get the bug. I guess they lied to us . . . . . .AGAIN!!

    I am Tarred! I’ve been clearing my fence line along the dirt road where the fancy ‘Lectric Gate is. I started out clearing under a pecan tree close to the fence and then decided it was more important to clear the fence. There were about a hundred Bradford pears and privet hedge along with a few small Sweetgums and pines. The trees were mostly 1″-3″ in diameter with a bunch of thumb size ones so it was a lot of work. But the wood chipper ate them up with no problem. I also cut along the road with my gasoline powered weed sling to whack down the weeds, briar vines and Honeysuckle. The bank along there is unlevel, real lumpy, so I think I’ll use the tractor blade to smooth it out and plant grass on it so I can mow along there.

    I do not wholly buy into the sabotage of food processing plants theory. Most of these plants are in small towns with tight communities. If a saboteur purposefully damaged or destroyed equipment, they risk injuring friends or loved ones. Could someone be paid off?

    Oh, something is foul, um I mean fowl, alright. Digging down into the numbers on the website you provided, we see that of the 96 incidents, 30 involved dead chickens, and 24 involved dead ducks and turkeys. Thats way more than half of all those incidents.

    Saw this in a story about a jerk getting his.

    They threw him so far under the bus for acting like a jerk that he rolled out the other side and got hit by a semi in the next lane over.

    I know people who need that kind of treatment.

    Interesting how you started this telling us we needed to watch what we say so the independents don’t think we are insane.  Looks to me your battle is with other conservatives.  Ohhhhh I forgot you are still campaigning to be BMOC

    Congratulations YOU WIN.  Yup you won the BMOC Pixel Trophy.  We are so proud of you.

    There is a fabulous “cool” breeze outside right now — only 80°. I went out back to put fresh water in the pan for the night gang, and it was so pleasant I stayed out for a while and checked on some of the plants. Discovered that the tallest stalk that came up this Spring from the banana plant’s underground corm has a green center. The other 3 stalks already had leaves unfurling, and I peeled down some of the brown folds on this stalk to free up its greenery. It should be looking better in a week or so.

    Time for “dinner and a show” at Chez Harp. I’m having a supper salad with a tuna packet called Latin Citrus for the protein. The show is my recorded daytime soap I’ve been watching for 40-some-odd years. And 20 y.o. Millie naps in my lap while I chow down and watch my show.

    I’ll check in later and get the final score! Oh and the duck count… Save my spot.

    OK Super Dave.

    Need you to weigh in on what Monkey Werx just said about NASA and DARPA.

    It is right at the beginning of presentation so you won’t have to wait too long.

    Here ya go:

    48.47 million

    How many ducks are in the world? According to the Fish and Wildlife Services U.S 2016’s statistical report on ducks and duckling population, the overall results were consistent with the last study results. In that traditional survey area, the total population of the breeding ducks was 48.47 million which is 38% greater than the 1995-2015 results.

    #106 – Abuck… From what I recall, he has an aneurysm – and if I recall correctly, it’s on the biggest artery in the human body- the aorta. Kinda like having a ballooning spot on the inner-tube of your unicycle tire (if unicycles carried your blood thru to vital things like heart, brain, body…)

    Yep, Bsue is right.

    Those aortic aneurysms run in my Dad’s family, got Grandpa and Uncle Joe. My Beloved Fluttery Aunt was terrified that she’d die of it, but she lucked out.

    Thanks for the update.

    We did a Nursing Home Ministry for about 4 years (The Leader Did 14).

    After a few months we all came to the same conclusion.

    God take me home quick so I don’t have to languish in a Nursing Home.

    We saw a lot of Stroke Victims and Dementia patients and it really brought reality home to us.

    We had a Lady that played the guitar and sang songs from the 60s and 70s in the Lobby.

    That lobby would fill up and everyone would sing along. A Nurse exclaimed one day that patient hasn’t said a word since coming here and now she is singing.

    Good Night Chet

    Hope the debate ends well!

    We’ll just pray that the surgeons are successful in repairing the aneurysm, and there are no persisting after-effects… at least that’s what I’m praying – that, and for peace for Gail during the procedure…

    Tim’s aneurysm is on the abdominal aorta — when you see the word aorta, you think of the heart, the chest.  At least, if you took some biology classes, you do. My husband had one, found almost accidentally when he was getting scanned for something else in the abdomen. His was small, and he died from other ailments before reaching the stage where he would have needed surgery on the aneurysm.

    116 MHarper – way back 3/4ths of the way thru the last century, my very first nite working in Surgical ICU, I had only 1 patient. He had a partially dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysm and was on IV medication to keep his blood pressure up enough to get oxygen to all the needful places, but not so high as to make the layers of the aorta separate further. I checked his blood pressure every 15 minutes, and somehow, the Dr, the medicine, and the Good Lord kept him going until stable enough for surgery… which he came thru with flying colors, and he walked out of the hospital under his own power, after stopping by to thank us.  I don’t believe I’ll ever forget that – that one was a good one.
