I hate to keep harping on this but I am just done with the bumper sticker BS. We went through CRT (critical race theory) no one knew what it was but to the small minded it screamed BLACK… but if you made the morons say the words they had no idea what it meant. Now Felon47s cry is DEI and that is all the red hat militia cry, make them say the words Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, then ask them as professed Christian’s how those are bad things. Make them openly admit they are racist, then make them acknowledge that they believe that rich people are better than they are.

It is sad that we have to blatantly point out idiocy and hypocrisy. Republicans have always had the arrogance to spout what they believe is right … we need to put our chins up and throw the facts in their faces, and keep doing it till they get the point.

With the current Pontiff currently in the hospital with pneumonia thought I would refresh memories on who started the FAITH …

Peter the Apostle

Another major New Testament figure, Peter is renowned as the most prominent of Jesus’ disciples. A fisherman initially known by the name of Simon, Peter earned his new name along with a promise he would receive the keys to the kingdom of heaven from Jesus.

According to the Bible, Peter is the only discipleto walk on water, and was with Jesus for such critical moments as the Transfiguration (when Jesus appeared on a mountaintop in his divine form) and the raising of Jairus’ daughter (when Jesus performed a miracle to bring a young girl back to life). And while Peter attempted to prevent his leader’s arrest, he also fulfilled the prediction that he would deny Jesus three times that night, before atoning by thrice telling the resurrected lord that he loved him. 

According to the Bible, Peter later performed his own miracles such as the healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, until he too was crucified (upside down) for spreading the gospel of Christianity. Traditionally considered the first pope, Peter is also highly regarded in the church for his close relationship with Jesus, as well as his devotion in spite of his imperfect character.

For those that think that Donny and his South African stooge are putting the People of the United States first look at the programs and agencies they are going after.

FEMA helping after disasters (full of waste and abuse)

Social Security system we pay into (sending billions to dead people)

Department of Education (WOKE)

Centers for Disease Control… well why do we need that.

FAA now planes are crashing

Consumer Financial Protection Agency because they are stopping banks from gouging Americans.

They are on a crusade to end Diversity Equity and Inclusion… make them say the words not just DEI

Have you heard that they are cutting the billions we give to BIG OIL… no you haven’t because they aren’t.

Musk has gotten more money for Space X and a contract to supple armored Cybertrucks to the DOD… no conflict there,

Donald believes he alone is AMERICA fuck everyone else.

Icy glaciers probably don’t spring to mind when you think about the tropics. But whether it’s Indonesia, Colombia, Kenya, or elsewhere, glaciers do exist in these warm climates. Of course, these huge chunks of ice aren’t sipping mai tais beachside, but are instead perched high up in mountain ranges. These frigid formations are the result of snow that’s been compressed into massive, slow-moving bodies of iceover the course of centuries. 

But although these glaciers have taken ages to form, their disappearing act will be much more swift. In all, 50% of mountain glaciers (both tropical and nontropical) will disappear by the end of this century due to climate change. Glaciers can serve as vital water reserves during drought, so their disappearance can have dire consequences in hot regions. In Indonesia, the Eternity Glacierscurrently rest in the Jayawijaya mountains, but continuous dry seasons mean they’ll likely disappear forever in 2026. The Conejeras glacier in the Colombian Andeswill perform the same vanishing act on a similar timeline. Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa also sport glaciers on their peaks, though both mountains are steadily losing ice mass due to changes in ocean patterns caused by our warming world. Sadly, this is just the latest glacial batch facing evaporation. In 2009, the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia disappeared completely, and the country has lost around half of its glaciers in the past 50 years. Glaciers will continue to exist in the colder reaches of the world for centuries, but the age of tropical glaciers is quickly coming to an end.

After some consideration on the issue of wealth, power, and the desire to control the world, a question arises. The people that are behind the destruction or attempted destruction of democracy have control of much of the wealth of this nation and possibly more influence in the world than is realistic, so when it is well known that you attract more bees with honey than with vinegar, why are they all so intent on dumping vinegar on everything? All that wealth could be returned to them more easily if they would support the programs and agencies that support the people. 
     Taking away all of the things that keep society running is quite simply foolish. If the systems and programs that make life better and give more opportunity for hope and fulfillment are taken away then nothing is going to move forward, grow, or produce a profit. If you cannot at least sell what you produce then why bother? If you have a factory run with robots but at the end of the day you have no sales what have you accomplished? No one working means no one has money to purchase, and where does the wealth come from, sitting on gold bars? No matter how warm the chickens bottom is gold will not produce more gold from being sat on. Money has to have a function as do people to produce a satisfactory result.
    So to the wealthy 1% think about your future if you destroy the futures of all that support your businesses what does your future look like? A serious common sense look at what is going on with the destruction of our nation and democracy should cause a great deal of anguish and maybe some sleepless nights. THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

Some of the earliest sunglasses were used by judges in court to hide their facial expressions.

Long before they became fashionable accessories for sunny days, some of the earliest sunglasses served a far different purpose: In Chinese courtrooms, judges used dark-lensed glasses to hide their facial expressions. Eyeglasses became popular in Chinese society during the late 13th century and early 14th century, and around the same period, rudimentary sunglasses featuring dark lenses made from smoky quartz were invented. While they protected against glare, they were also intended to provide judges with an air of impartiality during trials by obscuring their eyes — and thus their emotional responses.

It wasn’t until the 18th century that an early precursor to modern sunglasses, explicitly designed for dealing with sun and glare, became popular in Europe. “Goldoni’s eyeglasses” were developed circa 1700 in Venice, Italy, and were nicknamed for playwright Carlo Goldoni, who fashionably wore a pair. These green-tinted spectacles were primarily worn by Venetian gondoliers as well as high-society women and children in an effort to shield their eyes from the glare that bounced off the canal water. In 1752, British optician James Ayscough unveiled a new invention to serve a similar purpose: blue-tinted glasses that he believed protected eyes against harmful light better than white glass.

Sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins can.

Sloths are masters of living life in the slow lane. These tree-hugging mammals, split into two-toed and three-toed varieties, travel only about 125 feet a day — so slowly that moss and algae grow on their fur. This lethargic lifestyle is actually a survival strategy suitable for their slow metabolisms and low-calorie diets, which are mostly based on tree leaves. In fact, three-toed sloths have the slowest metabolism of any mammal (followed closely by pandas and two-toed sloths). 

Their sluggish metabolism, as well as their ability to slow their heart to one-third its normal rate, give sloths an unexpected superpower — they can hold their breath for an impressively long time. With estimates suggesting that some two-toed sloths can hold their breath for upwards of 40 minutes, this makes sloths better at conserving oxygen than even some marine mammals such as dolphins, who can only hold their breath for 15 minutes, max. The sloth breathing technique, aided by the design of their lungs, helps make sloths excellent swimmers. So while their leisurely lifestyle may seem a bit lazy to the untrained eye, don’t blame the sloths — they’re just built that way.

More on the usual nonsense coming from this administration. At every turn he has tried to ignore the Constitution and since he had sworn to uphold it I would have to say that makes him a traitor and should be subject to prosecution. This is becoming a case of one mans attitude is the only thing that counts. He does not accept science, or approve of public education, transgender people, same sex marriage, global warming, or kindness. His world is filled with vengence and rightiousness not that he has any. His actions so far signal mental illness and incompentecy and he needs to be removed from office. The actions of the people he has chosen to be part of his cabinet prove that his mental capacity is limited to self interest and little else. He put three justices on the Supreme Court that lied under oath and nothing has been done about it, now he has people in various positions throughout govenorment and all have been under oath in their hearings and all have lied, still nothing is done. The biggest liar is Trump as he lied about everything to get reelected and has broken every promise he made unless it concerned the rich bastards that bank rolled his campaign. In order to stop this completely it is going to need for the entire Congress to stand up and stop all this nonsense. They need to remove Trump and make sure that Musk is also terminated. Trump is hoping that he will be allowed a third term, although he has said that in 4 years election will not bee needed as he is going to change all that. He pobably needs to view the possible consequences that might just lead to lack of ability to even finish this tour. We have more than enough to deal with and now we have a person in the Oval Office that is mandating not only economic policy but requiring that all should follow his preferences about gender issues, racial issues, next will be a requirement to eat at least one meal a day at a McDonald's. There are people that are concerned about what to do IF he orders this or that. The simple answer to this question is that he has already violated the Constitution and seems pleased to continue to do so. His blatant disregard for the Constitution, that he took and oath to, is not just a bump in the road, it is treason. He needs to be arrested and removed from where he can do any more harm. All that back him also need to be confined so that they are not temped to follow his requests and jepordize the nation. Another issue at hand is the interest of those in California to create a separate nation. That would mean leaving the US and forming their own alliances and all the rest of it. Part of the driving force behind this desire is the fact that Trump does not want to help the state after the fires they have had. That effort is fostered by the weakest of reasons and that is because they hurt Donnies feelings. Another method to get back at the central government would be to not pay into the tax requests or requirements. If the central governorment is reluctant to help with fire damage just don't pay the central government for anything. I have another way to pay for the recovery, don't send any tax funds to Washington and when asked just say you are rebuilding and let it go at that. The longer this madness goes on the more reason we see for making use of our passports and leaving, although running away is not the answer. Another part of that is you really don't want to fly these days because that is not all that safe either. Going back to the issue of not paying attention to court orders, when are the judges going to call on the US Marshalls to go and arrest Trump for violating the orders? Is that what it is going to take? Will the releasted Jan 6 people jump in and defend Trump? The point is that everyone of the people that got sworn into office of any type, legislative or law enforcement, or even the President, took an oath to the Constitution to serve and protect against all eneemies foreign and DOMESTIC, and right now our greatest danger is the enemy within. Those people are sitting in the seats of positions that should be prosecuting crimes against the nation not being filled by idiots trying to destroy our nation. All agents of law enforcement, all sitting members of Congress, think about the oath you took and act accordingly. Members of the military remember that you do not have to obey orders that are illigal or that go against the Constitution, and you can be tried under UCMJ laws if you do follow those orders. All of you need to stand up and remove the threat, if that means bodily remove someone, anyone from their office and put them under arrest, do so. Secret service agents are suppose to protect the President, and the President is suppose to represent us, the people of the United States. When the President no longer represents us, your job should become the task of defend us from the President. For the sake of the nation, do your jobs.
