Toying? And remember back in the 90’s when the chicoms planted 500 million trees downwind of the Gobi ‘cause the Gobi was eating them up. They planted the trees but only built about five miles of water line. Now, both the trees and the railroad are buried and gone. So they built a bigazz dam that floods everything else. Genius born every minute.
Lurlene is a gem, an absolute gem. :-)

Since kicking cable to the curb several years back, all I watch are retro shows OTA (over the air) like Leave it to Beaver, The Andy Griffith Show, Hazel, Carol Burnett, etc. Those shows are OLD . . . Older even than *I* am. Heh.
Oh, and METV Toons (classic cartoons) is one more that I can tolerate for short periods. The on-off switch gets a heck of a workout, though, since I absolutely do not tolerate commercials. IMHO, commercials are OF the stupid, BY the stupid, and FOR the stupid.
I do not denigrate everyone on TV, there is good stuff too. For some reason, and one daughter is like this too, I don’t like to watch anything as it sticks in my mind seemingly forever and pops back up randomly. The more emotional impact the content, the more it sticks and pops up. But even random stupid stuff. Just a weird mind or brain or something. Plus haha I can read faster than people can talk, for informative type videos.
Well, at least the people in GA/TN/NC won’t get hit again. How are you going to fare?
Correction. I AM going blind!
I do not denigrate everyTHING on TV
I used to get Chobani yogurt, it was pretty good. As soon as I heard the Mohammedan angle. no more!
I’ll have to check his twitterX account, it appears to be from there.
The Queen honey bee has sex with an average of 17-20 males in a single afternoon.

What is the point of that I wonder?

It’s so she can have a gazillion baby bees, she lays eggs in the individual cells made by the worker beeds, they feed the babies, who grow into worker beeds. And we’d all die without bees. They’re the main pollinators.
It’s that simple.

Battle of Lepanto 1571
The Battle of Lepanto took place on October 7, 1571, when a galley fleet of the Holy League, a coalition of Christian states, decisively defeated the main fleet of Ottoman war galleys. The Holy League consisted of the Republic of Venice, the Papacy (under Pope Pius V), Spain (including Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia), the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Savoy, the Knights Hospitaller, and the Habsburgs.
Key Events
The battle occurred off the coast of Lepanto, Greece, during an Ottoman campaign to acquire the Venetian island of Cyprus.
The Christian fleet, led by Juan de Austria, engaged the Ottoman fleet, which was significantly larger, with over 250 galleys and 100,000 sailors and soldiers.
After four hours of intense fighting, the Christians emerged victorious, capturing 117 Ottoman galleys and thousands of men.
They really, really want us to start this war, don't they?

You either think there’s a patriot plan going on, or you do not. This is a foundational binary in a war built on anything but.
If you do NOT think there’s a patriot plan going on, then you can continue spiraling into an infinite black pill doom loop.
If you DO think there’s a patriot plan, then you believe the US MIL plays a vital role in said plan.

Hurricane Helene: “Don’t forget about us.”
A quick update from my visit with survivors in Georgia and North Carolina
Tulsi Gabbard
Oct 07, 2024
It’s hard to find the words.
The apocalyptic devastation I saw in North Carolina is difficult to describe. The resilience of people who have lost everything can’t easily be conveyed — but I’ve seen it before. In the residents of West Maui last year in the wake of the tragic fires that completely decimated the historic town of Lahaina and many homes in the surrounding areas.
In both cases, I stood in awe of their resilience, strength, and what we in Hawaii call the aloha spirit — even those who lost everything, stepping up to do all they can for their neighbors, friends, and those in need.
Unfortunately, much like we saw on Maui, there are still many people who are not getting the assistance they need. Communications are still down in many isolated areas and small towns. The closest thing they have to emergency services is a volunteer fire department. Their limited emergency resources have been quickly overwhelmed and nobody from FEMA has come or knocked on their door to offer assistance.
There are volunteers who are helping out wherever possible. We delivered a trailer full of chainsaws, leaf blowers, shovels, rakes, generators, fuel, oil, water, and electrolytes. They are trying to survive and recover what little is left. The thought of rebuilding is difficult to comprehend at this moment. What does that look like? What will it take? How long will it take? The heartfelt message I heard again and again from those facing the challenge of their lifetime was, “Don’t forget us.”
I truly thank God and all of you for the quick response and thousands of generous donations to my all-volunteer nonprofit We Must Protect. In less than a week, we’ve raised $331,833 and every dollar is going to Hurricane Helene survivors.
With your selfless contributions and a gracious, significant bulk discount from Lowe’s, we were able to distribute equipment to help clear roads and remove debris. We brought in toiletries, first aid kits, and other essentials that survivors desperately need. I’m getting requests for more emergency supplies and we are working to continue delivering direct support. I will keep you updated.
DONATE $10 OR MORE TO SUPPORT OUR WORK
Thank you for standing with our fellow Americans in their time of need. We don’t know yet how many lives have been lost, but we do know that there are thousands of people in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia who are struggling and need our help.
Here’s a short video that shares just a snapshot of what I experienced in North Carolina. It’s not just the wreckage, but the voices of our fellow Americans sharing what they are going through, and how we can help. We have to make sure they are not forgotten. It’s going to be a long road ahead. Let’s continue to support them in any way we can.
Thank you for your help, your aloha, and your compassion.
With gratitude,
Tulsi
