I can’t get over the number of hummingbirds, at each feeder!
I wonder when they’ll start migrating, south.
Maybe after they get their fill of nectar, at my place :-)

This essay from https://revolutionary-war-and-beyond.com surprised me, as I expected the separation of church and state would prohibit such a clear endorsement of religion.

Congress authorizes the first printing of the Bible
On this day in history, September 12, 1782, Congress authorizes the first printing of the Bible in North America by Philadelphia publisher, Robert Aitken. This Bible has been called the “Bible of the Revolution.” But why would Congress “authorize” the publishing of a Bible?

In Europe it was traditional for the Christian governments to authorize or license Bible publishers for accuracy. It was believed that if any old person could publish the Bible, inaccuracies could creep into the text, creating confusion amongst the populace about what was proper Christian doctrine.

After the boycotts of British goods began during the Revolution, there was a shortage of Bibles in the American colonies, because Bibles were previously imported from Britain. As early as 1777, Congress discussed importing Bibles from Scotland or Holland, but these plans were never completed.
On January 21, 1781, Robert Aitken addressed a letter to Congress requesting them to review and authorize a printing of the Bible he was currently working on. Aitken stated that he knew Congress would “not neglect spiritual security, while they are virtuously contending for temporal blessings.” He also said the Bible would be used in schools, and requests that Congress review it for accuracy. He asks them to appoint and authorize him to print as many as were necessary to meet the needs of the American people.

Congress obliged Aitken’s request by appointing a committee for the review, consisting of James Duane, Thomas McKean and the Rev. John Witherspoon. The committee referred the Aitken Bible to Congress’ two congressional chaplains, the Rev. William White of Christ Church, Philadelphia, and the Rev. George Duffield of the Third Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia.
On September 1, the chaplains reported back that they believed Aitken’s printing was indeed accurate and indicated it would provide them great personal joy that a new supply of Bibles would finally be available in America once again.
On September 12, Congress took up the recommendation based on the chaplains’ review and passed the following resolution, which was printed in the front of the Aitken Bible: “RESOLVED, THAT the United States in Congress assembled highly approve the pious and laudable undertaking of Mr. Aitken, as subservient to the interest of religion, as well as an instance of the progress of arts in this country, and being satisfied from the above report of his care and accuracy in the execution of the work, they recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States, and hereby authorize him to publish this Recommendation in the manner he shall think proper.”
Aitken printed 10,000 copies of his Bible, only 30-40 of which still exist today. Ironically Aitken’s sister, Jane, later became the first woman to print a Bible in world history, also on September 12, when she printed a Bible containing Charles Thomson’s translation of the New Testament in 1808. Thomson was the long time Secretary of Congress and an accomplished theologian. His translation of the Septuagint, the Greek New Testament, was the first translation of the New Testament directly from the Greek into English ever written. All previous English New Testaments were translated from the Latin.

The day after I announced that I was going to be the center of Lara Logan’s movie about January 6th & Rosanne Boyland the FBI came to my home and arrested me.
I can’t say anything else since they are using the Gov and lawfare to silence me. But I can say this…

#3206 Thanks LG for all the Julian Assange quotes and sayings.
It's getting to the point that the only time I go near hospitals/doctors is to join the rest of the clan at the birth of the latest new addition.
Strangely, the new Mommies aren't great fans of excessive innoculations....especially since COVID.
...and I haven't spoken a word to any of 'em on those subjects. (Okay, actions DO speak louder than words, eh?)
“The main part of the conversation was whether to go through the front of my neck, the usual way, or the back, which means cutting through muscle so harder to recuperate. Since I already have 3 scars and lymphadema in the front, I decided to go through a few weeks of misery than more daily discomfort all the time.”
Oh Rusty I hate to hear this. My oldest daughter went through this. They went through her front first but it didn’t stabalize or something so they ended up going through the back of her neck later. Once they do that you have very little movement in your neck. She almost ran over people because she couldn’t turn her neck far enough to see them. She was only 55 and ended up giving up her drivers license.
I pray it all goes well for you.
You must be pulling my leg.

Did you see how the prisoner escaped? With that talent they may never find him.
