Thank you for that in depth segment about the Ukraine debacle.

And yes, despite their desire to prove otherwise, archeology has consistently found evidence confirming the historical accuracy of the Bible. Places, people, times, have continuously been corroborated.

I don't like Donald Rumsfeld, I think he was a snake, and showed signs of psychopathy for pushing aspartame through, for profit, regardless of its harms. Among other travesties. But I love the truth of that quote, its stark reality guaranteed it would be attacked, and it was.

After reading J. C. 's blog for today...all I can say is..... "God's GRACE is magnificently shed on the once "United" States of America.

We have a SURPLUS OF FOOLS at the helms of so many CRUCIAL departments within the Federal government that one wonders how we EVER lasted as long as we have..... 09/11 was a precursor, friends...our ENEMIES know how feckless our leadership is - for now...they probably consider us "useful idiots"....we are indebted to China for floating bonds to subsidize our MASSIVE Federal deficit (that will NEVER go away)...and we are indebted to Russia for NOT attacking us from the Aleutian Islands - using TNT resources that are CHEAP and EFFECTIVE and that we apparently DO NOT POSSESS anymore.

The Bible is a fascinating and often reliable source of history. The human “choice” to settle down and build settlements meant the earth was no longer a garden, but needed constant tending. Life expectancy plummeted due to war and disease. All well documented and defensible based on other available evidence.

So what you Dems took time to vote for Joe in ur primaries. Trust us & do what we tell you to do.

Red State and Eugyppius have some interesting articles today about the "soft coup" perpetrated by the democrat elite where they forced Joe out under threats of invoking the 25th. And now enough delegates have said they'll vote for Kamala as the new running mate to Trump (prior to any dem convention); they have successfully picked a new candidate without a vote ever being cast in a primary for her.

Kind of reminds me of Bullwinkle--"Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"

During the Afghanistan war, intel folks couldn’t understand why Al Qaeda and Taliban were working together, since they were mortal enemies. Turns out, The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend. After defeating their mutual enemy, apparently, they would then war with each other for the spoils. The Dems apply this same tactic. The people they collaborate with and consider “disposable,” i.e. Cheatle, et. al., are also euphemistically referred to as Useful Idiots…..behind their backs, of course.

Something I noticed yesterday while watching the congressional hearing is how, miraculously, there was so much bipartisan cooperation exposing this train wreck of a SS director. Even AOC sounded more like a rational person than unhinged Nancy Mace. On the surface, all the cooperation looked great but I couldn't help but wonder why there wasn't all this cooperation to impeach Mayorkis. Yes, attempted assassination is horrible but how many Americans have been victims of illegal migrants (death, rape, human trafficking, drugs, etc)?

Swearing, name calling, the kind of talk unbecoming of a Congresswoman. There are intelligent ways to articulate oneself.

I agree. She insisted on Yes/No answers to stop Cheatle's gaslighting and prevarication. That was good.

But she undermined herself with her vulgarity/swearing.

How about the fact that she didn't even know the history of previous directors (e.g. the Director who resigned following the attempt on Reagan)?

well Harris never went to border, yet she was the "border czar". Why do they need to go? Their actions and answers will be the same

Expand full comment

Regardless of the politician, regardless of the party, and regardless of the crisis, making a trip to the site is usually little more than a photo op. A statement that they "care". And with filming and photos of the realities at the site, the politician can usually get an even better viewing of situation than the one or two staged photo op photoshoots provides. So even if Kamala did go to the border, it would have been a meaningless gesture of concern. What is more helpful would be an accurate assessment of the problems and issues by authorities, citizens, and victims on the ground. But "a man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest". (Simon & Garfunkel) And when maintaining an agenda is the priority, that's all that matters.

you (or corporate IT if a business device) have to pay for crowdstrike "security" software to be affected. window$ itself is hot garbage but it was a kernel level access vulnerability triggered by bogus crowdstrike driver files which caused the issue.

it's hard to completely disable automatic updates on win 10 or 11. you can half ass disable them for a while in settings, but to actually turn them off requires registry edits and few people are comfy typing in things that could potentially brick your system if you enter any syntax errors or typos

Watch out! You could turn into a Super-Hero, at least in my book!

I use Mint and Mint has been my long time favorite. I have used Pops a good bit ... and Fedora somewhat, plus a quite a few other OSs most of which I switched out shortly after the install. I also notice that Mint has shot up in DistroWatches ranking list ... and battling it out with MXlinux. I can't figure it out, but MXlinus must hold some attraction for some people.

I use Cinnamon, and I like Mint Cinnamon better than having to load Cinnamon over Gnome in Pops!_OS. I like Mint's customizing features, and I think Mint's software store is better. And so hard to guess ... right. I'm writing on Mint too.

I have five browsers which I use. My favorite and most used is Yandex (the Google of Russia). I do use Brave and I also very much like Falkon. And all now working well on my System76 Oryx since it tested the memory, found it corrupted and replaced the old memory with an upgrade to 32 GB Crucial. the corrupted memory was, according to the terminal readout, something called Gold Star. I bet you never heard of them. And I bet System76 never used that brand again after the failure complaints began to roll in. Just a guess.

Well, thanks for the heads up. I never use Edge ... nothing MSFT at all. And I guess you can tell I always get excited over anything having to with Linux.

My vaccum cleaner store was still down Monday. Cash or check only. Florida.

Yes, it only hit Windows operating system, not Linux or Apple so also most cell phones were fine because they don't typically run Windows. My computer was find because I don't have automatic updates available and it's old as the hills.

If you don’t use cloud based you personally would not have been affected. We have a few stores and we weren’t touched because we don’t use cloud based software

Close, but not true. The only ones affected were computers and servers running Windows, with Crowdstrike installed, and that were *running* when the update was released. People who shut down nightly and boot up in the morning were unaffected because they got the fixed update as soon as they connected to the internet.

Linux wasn't affected.

It's All a Movie until it comes knocking at your door and I'm not talking about just a FIB raid.

Yes, but by bigger, it was a test to short a stock, hobble the product, and make a crap-ton of money when the stock plummets. That's all this was, kinda like how CNN suddenly started to broadcast Trump rallies on J13.

Could be...or they could be making up by shorting Crowdstrike as the short on the DJT stock didn't work when the assasination failed.

And yes, a movie, but when I see the weird clots, heart attacks, turbo cancers, etc., it's more like a nightmare.

Someone made a crap load of money shorting them

Yep, just like shorting Trump's stock just before trying to kill him. There are no coincidences, only undiscovered truths.

Like 911 ... and if making a boat load of money, then connected.

More cheating via the election machines?! I would venture to say. I dont want to be pessimistic but it feels impossible to win. So many people love Trump. Many have changed. But we all thought Trump would and did win in 2020

also. So.

I'm not scared of anything these people attempt. There are billions of us and a few thousand of them.

I agree - have you seen that creepy speech by the repellent Herr Schwab threatening humanity with a "cyber pandemic" that will bring almost the end of the world?!

These mafia goons have hijacked global power. And they're using it to commit evil.

Much bigger! I’m thinking around election time.

You can "Put-Bet" your last dollar on that. Wait, that might be backwards. Nevermind.

Yahweh is righteous in all His ways

And holy in all His works.

Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him,

To all who call upon Him in truth.

He will work out the desire of those who fear Him;

He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.
