Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.
Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see.

Those who attack you.
Those who mock you.
Those who cull you.
Those who control you.
Those who label you.
Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
Mental Enslavement.
The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding ‘mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).
When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable.
When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’.
"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma.
When you are awake, you are able to clearly see.
The choice is yours, and yours alone.
Trust and put faith in yourself.
You are not alone and you are not in the minority.
Difficult truths will soon see the light of day.

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Speaking of Great Lakes shipping, the SS Arthur M Anderson, another lake freighter, was the last ship to be in contact with the Edmund Fitzgerald before she sank in 1975. I believe that I have actually seen the Arthur Anderson at least once, as the shipping industry in the Great Lakes strongly supports the steel industry in Cleveland, Ohio. These long ships have meandered their way up the Cuyahoga River many a time, to deliver ore to the steel mills.
One last ship and I’ll shut up (you hope anyway) - the William G Mather. The SS William G Mather is permanently anchored/docked in Cleveland, having become something of a maritime museum. The ship was the flagship for Cleveland-Cliffs and was named in honor of that company’s president. It was built in 1925 and served many decades after that.
In 1941, the Mather led a convoy of 13 freighters through the ice-choked upper great lakes to Duluth, Minnesota to help supply steel for the war effort (we weren’t in the war yet, but we were building and delivering weapons to our allies well in advance of Pearl Harbor). The ship also was the first commercial ship on the Great Lakes to be equipped with radar, in 1946.
If you’re really into Cleveland history, the Mather also became the first American ship to have an automated boiler system, manufactured by Bailey Controls of Cleveland.
Yes, I cheated and used Wikipedia for some of the above information. I realize that they lie through their teeth on some issues, but I think chronicling the life of Great Lakes freighters is not one of them.
If those spineless republicans cave or give one inch to the democrats on funding for Obamacare, they’re done. The dems want a 1 year extension, which makes it a campaign issue for the midterms.
But the republicans aren’t called the stupid part for nothing.
That is one haunting melody and beautiful song and tribute to the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald. And there will never be another singer, song writer and voice like Gordon Lightfoot.
Interesting that he had a guest starring role in an NCIS episode - as a retired Marine Sgt.(his rank in real life) who also was POW.

Repubs keep proving they just don’t know what to do with a majority....
Course, I’m guessing they don’t have the votes for it...Collins, Murkowski & Paul among a few...
.
Wow - Drew Carey was on NCIS? That’s cool. I’ll have to look that up. I probably saw the episode and didn’t even recognize him. I’m like that sometimes. (and I was too fixated on Ziva David)
I just looked up the episode - I have seen it, but the fact that it was Drew Carey completely escaped me.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Playin’ her lies,
Playin’ her lies......
You’re putting me in a disco state of mind!
Natives? I think most of them were run out of there by 1718 after the Tuscarora wars. But they would only show up on the tax list if they were land or slave holders and their tribal status wouldn’t have been noted. I don’t think I’ve ever seen natives noted on a census record in Edgecombe either.

COMET 3I/ATLAS HAS SPROUTED AN UNUSUAL TAIL: After passing behind the sun in late October, interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is now visible from Earth again. Astronomers are photographing it in the pre-dawn sky (constellation Virgo).
Michael Jaeger of Austria has been tracking the comet since it re-appeared on Nov. 4th. "We have something unusual to report," he says. "3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning (Nov. 8th)."
This image differs from other photos we've seen in recent days, which show only a fuzzy blob with no distinct tail. Jaeger's exposure detected a spray of four or five tails, including a narrow jet pointing toward the sun.
Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb suggests that 3I/ATLAS might be a spaceship. If so, this could be a sign of propulsion; after all, engines make plumes.Yet, there is no sign that 3I/ATLAS has changed course. Jaeger found it exactly where it should be, following the same cometary trajectory it was on before perihelion.
"The astrometry showed that it continues to follow the ephemeris," notes Jaeger. "The residuals were better than 1 arc second. It hasn't slowed down or released any small spaceships."
Monitoring is encouraged. Astronomers, please photograph 3I/ATLAS in the mornings ahead and submit your images here. "
This list I am transcribing only shows the totals for each column, but not how much the taxes were. I find it interesting that were a couple of notations of people who didn’t pay, and the term was “give in.” As in, “John Elliott has not given in,” like he was having his arm twisted or something.
$2000, nice
I could use it to pay CC interest. sigh.
