On Lost & Walking the Razor's Edge

 

On Privilege, Example & A Wreath on the Door

 

I'm still feeling sad about this, more than I expected.  I think it has to do with the loss of something/someone who was delightful, good and irreplaceable.  Turns out she recorded a new song to be released twenty years from now on her 100th birthday.  She said a while back that she wished she could open the box where it's stored at Dollywood and play it ahead of time, because it's just that good, and I wish she could have done so too, as I'd have enjoyed hearing it. 

On Sparkle, Light & Dove Wings

During a dark season of my life, when hope was hard to find and hold, it was Dolly's version of this song that helped me through. When I'd sing along with her in the car as I was driving, I could feel my spirit lift.  Her heart, sparkle, and character also served as a light, along with her determination to live life her way.  She used her gifts and assets for good, opening doors and offering her music, humor, and perspective as an invite and opportunity to bless others.  I'm grateful for her and the effect she had on my life, feeling the sadness that's comes with knowing her life here is over.  She was most definitely one of a kind!

When troubles surrounds us

When evils come

The body grows weak 

The spirit grows numb 

When these things beset us

He doesn't forget us

He sends down His love

On the wings of a dove

On the wings of a snow-white dove

He sends His pure sweet love

A sign from above 

On the wings of a dove 

On Cartoons in Mind & Other Pieces of Work

 

Neo put a post up today entitled "What a piece of work El-Sayed is" in which she uses words to draw a conclusion that matches mine in regard to the man, his mouth and what he believes in, stands for and supports.  It invited me to consider in my imagination what a cartoon visual of him displaying "the charisma of a viper and the aura of a crocodile" might involve, to accompany the one above that also hits the nail on the head with humor and truth.

On Michigan Votes, Belles & Whistles

According to the following report, posted by WorldTribune and Michigan News Source: 

"A whistleblower inside the Michigan Secretary of State’s office has come forward with evidence alleging the state’s computer system is automatically registering noncitizens to vote when they update their addresses, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf said.

In a video statement on Tuesday, Leaf said: “The confidential informant provided evidence that the customer and automotive records system is programmed to congratulate and inform noncitizens that they are registered to vote.”

Leaf said his office has referred the matter to the U.S. Department of Justice.

According to Leaf, the informant provided evidence involving the Secretary of State’s Customer and Automotive Records System (CARS).

The current Michigan Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, is running as a Democrat for governor in this year’s midterms.

Benson continues to fight the Trump Administration’s efforts to examine Michigan’s voter rolls to ensure the state is complying with federal voter-list-maintenance laws – including requirements that only eligible voters remain on the rolls."

Too quiet

Its awfully quiet out there. Not even any drums the sound of which you don't like.

Haven't heard a peep out of Hormuz or his Gulf station for a couple of weeks. Could it be the crazies finally got the message? e e cummings told us this would be the way things end in the future. Mebbe so, Kemo Sabe.

Then there are those 3 words that would drive the Demos crazy. State of emergency . We know Trump is a great one for the carrot and the stick and it's clear it's getting to be stick time. 84% of the public, Demos included, want the SAVE Act. Looney Thune wants nothing done while he's Senate "Majority Leader". Is that misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance in office?

Guess it depends on who's (or whose) paying him.

Then there's the Democrats. WI did to Francesca Hong what the DNC and the Sidesaddle Republicans did to Trump in '20. And the crazies are noticeably quiescent. Where are the street marches, the protests, the riots, the weeping and gnashing of teeth?

And reality is finally catching up to Madmani and the Deep State Dwarf.

Are we looking at Galveston 1900? Or is everybody just off on vaca?

Stock up on bread and milk and keep your powder dry.

On Witch & Wish Casting

 If you go back far enough, you may remember Albert Gore, the Living Redwood, answer any question about his apocalyptic pronouncements with the line, "The science is settled". 

Of course, the science is never settled. We learn new things all the time.We also are taught things in our youth that may lie fallow for many years and then be proven useful. Photosynthesis, as an example. It proves CO2 is necessary for life to grow and that all the nonsense about greenhouse gases is a con.

Same with the Deep State Dwarf. A government slug if ever the was one, he went to work for the Feds the day he got his MD. He was the one who formulated "policy" when AIDS bnecame a big deal. Of course, we couldn't use the standard communicable disease procedures because it might alienate the homosexuals and they wouldn't bloc vote Democrat. And to question what diseases someone might have when they wanted to give blood would do the same. The blood supply would just have to take the hit.

40 years later, another "disease" showed up from out of the blue, although this one, when looked at, had the Dwarf's fingerprints all over it. Seems little Tony was into bio warfare on the side and the side was Red China. But the real thing was what used to be taught in schools. I had to take 2 semester of bio in undergrad school and one thing the guy pounded into our heads was you don't mess with DNA. And, when I saw how these "vaccines" were mRNA, I started doing my homework. Cellular organisms use messenger RNA (mRNA) to convey genetic information (using the nitrogenous bases of guanine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine, denoted by the letters G, U, A, and C) that directs synthesis of specific proteins, but the m didn't stand for messenger, as I learned, but modified.

In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "Yipe!". 

The Blonde did her own research and came to the same conclusion. There were other remedies, but  the Deep State Dwarf was having none of it. Doctors who disagreed were blacklisted (I thought the Lefties were against that). The so-called remedy Paxlovid won't tell you what's in it, how it works, or any other necessary info. The Dwarf demanded the whole country be locked down (the only good that did was to show parents what a lousy education their kids were getting), we should wear masks (though it was proven they'd do no good at all), and that we stand 6 feet apart (science said 13), . And the vain little weasel, when asked why we should go through all this, declared, "I am the science". And the Lefties believed him.

Now, he is faced with his deeds and pleads the 5th. 

111 times. 

I remember watching Frank Costello do the same and he didn't kill anywhere near the Dwarf's body count or steal anywhere near the Dwarf's billions. For a long time, Frank was the living incarnation of taking the 5th. Not anymore.

Now, as Fake News is outraged that his personal correspendence has been made public (they never had a problem when they did it to somebody they didn't like), his sins are catching up to him. His collaboration with the Reds could very easily be construed as treason. His financial collaborations almost certainly are illegal, and his knowledge of what the Clot Shot was doing to people may well be described as murder.

Thinking for oneself has never been popular in public education. The rise of the teacher unions has institutionalized that. Yet it's becoming quite clear that our very lives are dependent on it. 2 times Democrats ran for re-election by promising they wouldn't send Americans to Germany and once to Vietnam. Careful study of history tells us Abraham Lincoln could have avoided the Civil War and that the war was not about slavery.

In this age of instant communication, we can make our own determinations and act on them. And we must. The Left chose to go with the flow and paid the price. Without Ralph the Sheepdog, the sheep get slaughtered.
