Amen, what you say is true. But is God though with the US, I don’t know. Pretty sure there are some great lessons and corrections ahead, hang on.
Today is one year anniversary of my grandsons death. The family will be doing something…hopefully their message will get through to me
Along with Jayce and Madi we will be remembering Jayce’s first cousin who was murdered one year to day prior and the newest add Brad killed Sunday.
His body will be transported this week
My (STUBBORN) son won’t be able to participate as he can’t walk… maybe he’ll try to hobble along on my Walker.
Just a good morning to all . Wanting to spend most of day attending to yard projects
Had a bad dream last night that might be related to Yon’s post. Was traveling in a car on a very large freeway bridge that was built poorly and poorly maintained, was not quite finished yet people traveled on it knowing that. Suddenly the whole thing collapse. Our car fell and landed in the water with the belly down, we floated to the shore by the velocity of the prior movement and the current. The car still ran as we got to shore, but the environment of the survivors was chaotic. I then thought that perhaps this disaster was planned. So apparently it is planned. Hold on, trust God, get your ducks in a row.

It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you, especially when all of the sleazebags, lowlifes, and grifters that you oppose are allowed to say absolutely anything that they want. It is hard to sit back and listen to lies and false statements be made against you knowing that if you respond, even in the most modest fashion, you are told by a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge that you will be PUT IN PRISON, maybe for a long period of time. This Fascist mindset is all coming from D.C. It is a sophisticated hit job on Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME!. Judges Engoron and Kaplan, also of New York, are equally Corrupt, only in different ways. What these THUGS are doing is AN ATTACK ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND OUR ONCE GREAT NATION ITSELF. OUR FIRST AMENDMENT MUST STAND, FREE AND STRONG. “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!’

It should concern every American that the FBI STAGED photographs at the Mar-A-Lago.
They put ‘Top Secret’ covers on documents that were not even top secret.
The conspiracy is out there. They framed a former U.S. President for a crime he did not commit.
ARREST THEM ALL.

Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Explosive Salvage

May 8, 2024: Charges to Be Used on Bridge Section Over Dali
The Key Bridge Response Unified Command plans to use small charges, i.e. explosives, to make precision cuts to remove a large section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge wreckage from the bow of the Dali.
The method will create smaller sections for easier removal by cranes and barges.
“We remain focused on restoring the Marine Transportation System, while ensuring the protection of the public and the environment,” said Capt. David O’Connell, Key Bridge Response Federal On-Scene Coordinator. “By using precision cuts, we reduce risks to our personnel and can safely and efficiently continue clearing the channel for the Port of Baltimore.”
The Unified Command coordinated with the Maryland Department of Emergency Management to issue a cellular notification for a controlled demolition. Hearing protection is not required outside of the 2,000-yard noise radius, with sound levels comparable to a standard fireworks show lasting 2-5 seconds. Maryland State Police and other law enforcement agencies will provide perimeter security for an area where spectating is discouraged.
Crew members are expected to remain on board the Dali during the operation.
The use of charges was previously used during the controlled demolition of the Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge in Charles County, Maryland in March 2023.
A 2,000-yard safety zone around the bridge remains in effect.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released a video illustrating the operation:

“Live Free or Die”
American General John Stark dies
On this day in history, May 8, 1822, American General John Stark dies. John Stark was a Revolutionary War hero from New Hampshire, especially known for his victory at the Battle of Bennington. Stark was born in 1728 to Irish immigrants who settled in Derryfield, which is now Manchester, New Hampshire.
When he was 23 years old, Stark was captured by Abenaki Indians while on a hunting trip and was forced to “run the gauntlet,” which meant he had to run through two lines of Indian warriors who would pummel him with their fists. John attacked the first warrior in the line, which so impressed the chief that he adopted him into the tribe. The following year, John was bought back to white society for a ransom.
When the French and Indian War broke out, John served as a top lieutenant in the famed Rogers Rangers, an elite scouting and special missions force. In 1759, the Rangers were ordered to attack the Abenaki settlement where John’s adopted Indian family lived. He refused to take part in the mission and returned to Derryfield to begin life with his new wife, Molly Page.
When the American Revolution broke out, John became colonel of the 1st New Hampshire Regiment, which marched straight to Boston after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Stark’s regiment, along with James Reed’s 3rd New Hampshire Regiment, came to the rescue of American Colonel William Prescott when he called for reinforcements. They quickly formed a redoubt and repelled several British assaults, killing scores of British soldiers. When Prescott’s men ran out of ammunition, the New Hampshire regiments laid down covering fire to let them escape.
For his heroism, Stark came to the attention of George Washington and his regiment was brought into the Continental Army. They helped in the defenses of New York before being ordered north to defend the retreating American army from the failed Siege of Quebec. After helping at the Battles of Trenton and Princeton, Stark returned to New Hampshire to recruit more men. While there, he learned of the promotion of several others, who had less experience, to general over himself. He was offended and resigned his position, but declared he would still work for the defense of New Hampshire.
As the British began a major invasion from Canada in the summer of 1777, Stark took the position of Brigadier General of the New Hampshire militia, under the condition that he would not take orders from the Continental Army. In August, Stark learned the British had sent a large force to capture supplies at Bennington, Vermont. Stark took hundreds of men to defend the city and met the British at the Battle of Bennington on August 16. Aided by Seth Warner’s Green Mountain Boys, Stark captured or killed nearly a thousand British soldiers, which won Stark widespread acclaim and helped secure the surrender of British General John Burgoyne’s army several weeks later. For the victory, Stark received an offer to be a Brigadier General in the Continental Army, which he accepted. Stark would serve on and off as the commander of the Northern Department for the rest of the war.
After the war, Stark returned to farming in Derryfield, where he remained the rest of his life. In 1809, veterans from the Battle of Bennington asked for his presence at a ceremony remembering the battle. Being in ill health, Stark declined to attend, sending a letter instead. The letter closed with the statement, “Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils.” The phrase, “Live free or die,” stuck in the minds of New Hampshire residents and became the official state motto in 1945. John Stark passed away at Derryfield in 1822 at the age of 93.

“Today I went to get oil change and Battery replaced”
Now that’s a big accomplishment! Anything I get something done with the car, I feel the same way. And then I’m so grateful I don’t have to go again for months. Same thing with a doctor’s appointment! I wonder why I’ve had such a hard time making those.
“Because of my bad back, I have to do my housework in fits and starts.”
A bad back has to make doing anything difficult. I just swept the whole house. Well not the carpet. I don’t feel up to mopping, it looks good enough. Now I get to do fun stuff!
My plan was to try to do a little each day. I somehow forgot that until today. I bet I forget again tomorrow
ggggrrrrrrr
I think those protesting against Israel don’t even know that they were the ones attacked. I’m pretty sure the dumbing down is complete by now. I don’t think it could get any worse.
I wonder if dogs enjoy going on a swing? We used to take our dog on the jet ski and snowmobile. I’m not sure he liked it but he just liked being with us. I think he was just tolerating it
