To: Jane Long; All

awe. thanks Jane and all.

I had stated I would put a new thread up the first of month but we already have 2 rallies and over 4000 post on other thread and with two more rallies and the current trip abroad, the tread would just be too much so decided to go ahead and get one up now.

Lots going on and lots of chit chat. Haven’t heard from Pax if she will be able to help with the thread mid month.. I will just plan to do the threads til the first of March and then reassess. Pax has a lot going on.. sure hope she/they aren;;t sick.. just like 90% of folk here are

My physical condition is surely better but is surely still NOT good by any means. Still dealing with a lot of issues and lots of doc specialist appts coming up. Saw ENT doc on Thursday. She determined I still have bad infection in one of the cheek area sinus sections. This is after 4 rounds of antibiotics. She put me on a new one .. and must be heavy duty as the price surely was... about 250..and she told me something that I did not know.. after all these years. Ill bet many of you knew this and maybe this is why the antibiotics haven’t been effective.

No Dairy... as in NO DAIRY. while taking antibiotics. Many of you know I am a cheese aholic.. so now being a good girl. and no cheese. I don’t do milk and only have ice cream a few times a year.. but do cook with half/half; sour cream and cream cheese.. so for a few weeks will put these items on back burner

Made a mercian dinner for tonight.. A rice/pasta mexican side dish and tortilla roll ups. Mine with fajita, the rice mixture and some salsa. Jens with beef; 2 cheese and the other ingredients in mine. Sides of sour cream, artichoke garlic salsa and homemade guac

Lots of snow here and in a few minutes when Jn returns from work I will head out and feed the ferals that I “house” in my garage. Keep the door open 6” so they can come and go but they have shelter and many boxes with bedding. Not as nice as NIKKs accommodations.. but the best I can do under the circumstances. Take hot water each day as the water dish is frozen solid.

Later all.. will try to post a bit more .. anxious to do more catching up and especially what is happening in VA..this state is the test for the other state leaders who have God like mentality in controlling the peoples personal lives.

Larry C. Johnson: The Military and State Can’t Handle the Trump Truth

by Jim Hoft January 20, 2020

An excerpt from a soon to be released book, “A Very Stable Genius” (which appeared in Saturday’s edition of the Washington Post) apparently was written with the intent of presenting Donald Trump as a crazed, unstable individual. The authors of this hit job (two Washington Post reporters) clearly relied on Rex Tillerson, Gary Cohn and Jim Mattis as primary sources.

But rather than expose Trump as mentally unfit to be President, the authors unwittingly expose their own extreme bias and highlight how the men Trump named to key positions in his administration–Tillerson at State, Cohn at the White House and Mattis at DOD–tried to undermine the President and drug their feet in carrying out Trump’s directives.

These men, in my view, are bureaucratic cowards. They should have resigned if they felt so strongly about Trump’s violations. But they wanted to hang on to their little pieces of turf.

The piece is introduced with this telling paragraph:

So on July 20, 2017, Mattis invited Trump to the Tank for what he, Tillerson, and Cohn had carefully organized as a tailored tutorial. What happened inside the Tank that day crystallized the commander in chief’s berating, derisive and dismissive manner, foreshadowing decisions such as the one earlier this month that brought the United States to the brink of war with Iran. The Tank meeting was a turning point in Trump’s presidency. Rather than getting him to appreciate America’s traditional role and alliances, Trump began to tune out and eventually push away the experts who believed their duty was to protect the country by restraining his more dangerous impulses.

Yep. Trump’s a bad, crazy, deranged individual because he did not want to continue the failed policies of the last 20 years. That’s the complaint of these Deep Staters in a nutshell. And Donald Trump, unlike the serpentine politicians that infest Washington, did not speak praise to the faces of these clowns and then backstab them in the press and to other members of his Administration. Nope. He called them out to their face. Can’t have that. Telling people off to their faces is just so uncouth. Always better, according to the Swamp creatures, to say one thing to a person’s face and then trash the hell out of them when they are not around

Let’s look at the key issues discussed in this brief that put the reporters panties in a knot.

“The post-war international rules-based order is the greatest gift of the greatest generation.” Mattis then gave a 20-minute briefing on the power of the NATO alliance to stabilize Europe and keep the United States safe.

Trump’s response should not have surprised these guys if they had paid attention to the campaign:

We should make money off of everything.”Trump proceeded to explain that NATO, too, was worthless. U.S. generals were letting the allied member countries get away with murder, he said, and they owed the United States a lot of money after not living up to their promise of paying their dues. “They’re in arrears,” Trump said, reverting to the language of real estate. He lifted both his arms at his sides in frustration. Then he scolded top officials for the untold millions of dollars he believed they had let slip through their fingers by allowing allies to avoid their obligations.“

Trump was exactly right with regards to NATO. It is an anachronism. The equivalent of maintaining the horse cavalry in the U.S. Army on the eve of World War II. But there is a lot of money and high paying jobs for senior officers to be had. Cannot let that sugar tit dry up.

The men who sat around the table also tried to thwart Trump on Iran:

He wanted out of the Iran nuclear deal that President Obama had struck in 2015, which called for Iran to reduce its uranium stockpile and cut its nuclear program.
“It’s the worst deal in history!” Trump declared.
“Well, actually . . .,” Tillerson interjected.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Trump said, cutting off the secretary of state before he could explain some of the benefits of the agreement. “They’re cheating. They’re building. We’re getting out of it. I keep telling you, I keep giving you time, and you keep delaying me. I want out of it.”

Here again Trump never hid his intent with respect to Obama’s Iran deal. So why the surprise on the part of Mattis and Tillerson?

Next up, Afghanistan:

Trump erupted to revive another frequent complaint: the war in Afghanistan, which was now America’s longest war. He demanded an explanation for why the United States hadn’t won in Afghanistan yet, now 16 years after the nation began fighting there in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Trump unleashed his disdain, calling Afghanistan a “loser war.” That phrase hung in the air and disgusted not only the military leaders at the table but also the men and women in uniform sitting along the back wall behind their principals. They all were sworn to obey their commander in chief’s commands, and here he was calling the war they had been fighting a loser war. “You’re all losers,” Trump said. “You don’t know how to win anymore.”

You may not like the tone, but Trump’s position was not new nor should it have been unexpected. To his credit he called out the Generals to their face. And he was factually correct. We defeated the Japanese and German armies in four years. Here we are entering our 19th year of a meaningless war in Afghanistan and all we have to show are losses of hundreds of millions of dollars and the deaths and maiming of thousands of U.S. military personnel. Damn straight Mr. President. We’ve been pouring U.S. taxpayer dollars down an open sewer that masquerades as a country. For what purpose?

Then we get this “pity party”:

They stunned nearly everyone in the room, and some vowed that they would never repeat them. Indeed, they have not been reported until now.
“I wouldn’t go to war with you people,” Trump told the assembled brass.
Addressing the room, the commander in chief barked, “You’re a bunch of dopes and babies.”

For a president known for verbiage he euphemistically called “locker room talk,” this was the gravest insult he could have delivered to these people, in this sacred space. The flag officers in the room were shocked. Some staff began looking down at their papers, rearranging folders, almost wishing themselves out of the room. A few considered walking out. They tried not to reveal their revulsion on their faces, but questions raced through their minds. “How does the commander in chief say that?” one thought. “What would our worst adversaries think if they knew he said this?”

Grab the damn fainting couch.

Trump told the assembled military leaders who had presided over a military stalemate in Afghanistan and the rise of ISIS as “losers.” Not a one of them had the balls to stand up, tell him to his face he was wrong and offer their resignation. Nope. They preferred to endure such abuse in order to keep their jobs. Pathetic.

This excerpt in the Washington Post tells the reader more about the corruption of the Deep State and their mindset than it does about Trump’s so-called mental state. Trump acted no differently in front of these senior officers and diplomats than he did on the campaign trail. He was honest. That is something the liars in Washington cannot stomach.

Apparently the ticks aren’t bad in Tx or Maine.

https://wset.com/news/local/disease-from-tick-bites-spreads-as-local-researchers-develop-meat-patients-can-eat

LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — A shocking number of people are living with an allergy that’s potentially deadly.

The tick that latched on to you during a walk in the woods or gardening in your backyard is behind it. It’s not Lyme Disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, but something called alpha-gal and doctors say the number of cases are surging.

Rick Leeming’s life changed dramatically when a tick bit him eight years ago.

The alpha-gal allergy is a growing problem for people in the Southeast, particularly in your backyard, according to allergist Dr. Joey Lane.

“About 20 percent of the population in this area — Central Virginia — has a positive blood test to alpha-gal,” Lane explained.

Not all of those people will have an allergic response. Lane said it’s all kind of a mystery, but they have been able to trace alpha-gal to the bite of a Lone Star tick.

Here”s how it works: humans don’t have the carbohydrate alpha-gal in their bodies, but all other four-legged mammals do. When a tick bites, say a deer, and then bites you it can transmit alpha-gal. Your blood sees alpha-gal as a threat, so it develops antibodies that are stored in your body.

It could take days or weeks to manifest but when you eat meat again it sets off the allergic reaction.

Symptoms of an alpha-gal allergy commonly appear three-six hours after eating meat (e.g., beef, lamb, pork, venison, and rabbit) or exposure to products containing alpha-gal, which for a long time made diagnosing it difficult.

Lane said it’s so prevalent now, so doctors know what to look for early on.

“There are about 5,000 patients in the world who have it and we believe that about 10 percent, 500 or more, are here in the central Virginia area,” Lane said.

Lane sees the patient population dealing with typical allergic responses (hives, anaphylaxis). Gastroenterologist Dr. Bikram Bal is diagnosing people with alpha-gal who complain of nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea.

“We were almost diagnosing four to five patients a week in my office,” Bal said.

Both doctors said a rainy spring kick-started the surge in alpha-gal victims.

With many of you getting out and enjoying the outdoors this fall, doctors expect more new cases.

You can grow out of it— however, doctors don’t know how long that can take. In the meantime, you have to stop eating things like pork, beef, and lamb.

But that’s not always easy since cross-contamination can set patients off.

Living with alpha-gal has changed the way Leeming serves up family-style dinner at his own restaurant, The Spring House.

“We do everything we can to eliminate those things in the cooking process,” Leeming said. “For instance, we used to cook with ham hocks or bacon for our green beans. We use chicken broth now.”

While he’d love to have a steak again, Leeming has embraced his new diet because it’s just not worth the consequences.

Thanks for the new thread, Dolly!

Hello, Deplorables!

Checking in during a short break.

We’re beginning renovations here and I’ve been pretty busy getting samples, materials, and supplies lined up for our contractor.

This house is nearly a hundred years old. It’s been maintained pretty well but it’s in need of a general facelift and some serious work on the basement which was finished in a patchwork manner.

Finally! Most early decisions have been made and most early orders are in. Yesss!

Now I’m looking forward to being here with y’all on the TFT more regularly!

:-)

Prayers continuing for all...

So sorry, Dolly, but I must have missed your email. I’m behind on those and I need to catch up but I didn’t see yours!

If you need help posting threads I’m sure that I can manage it.

:-)

FLASHBACK: The liberal media hated the idea of calling more witnesses during Bill Clinton's impeachment, saying it was a "distraction" and a "sham."
