The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack...

"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." Revelation, Chapter 1 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants...

Helena Kerschner is a 23-year-old woman who lived for several years as a man through hormone therapy. *snip* “You might think you have a good handle on this (transgender) phenomenon, but I guarantee that most of you do not. I did not, though I read about this stuff all the time,” wrote Dreher, a senior editor and blogger at The American Conservative and author of several best-selling books, including “The Benedict Option” and “Live Not by Lies.” Dreher noted that he and co-interviewer Kale Zeldon are Christians who “believe in the reality of the demonic.” “After we finished the interview,...

John Paul Mac Isaac’s life changed late in the day, 10 minutes before close when Hunter Biden stumbled into his computer repair shop and dropped off a laptop for repair. Mac Isaac’s ended up with the laptop – the laptop from hell. John Paul Mac Isaac joined The Joe Hoft Show on the Real Talk Radio Network on Friday afternoon in St. Louis. Mac Isaac’s life turned upside down a couple of years ago when about 10 minutes before closing on April 12, 2019, Hunter Biden stumbled into his shop. Isaacs said he was not in great shape. Hunter had...

Bernie Sanders is the founder of the Progressive Caucus and most popular figure in the Democrat Party. He is also the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and therefore a key player in determining how Washington decides to spend taxpayers’ dollars. Bernie is also a lifetime fan of Communist regimes and apologist for their totalitarian practices – and atrocities. He supported Iran’s Islamo-fascist regime in 1979 when it made hostages of 52 American diplomats and embassy workers, held them for 444 days, and chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” – repeating the threats through time. As an American...

Actor Sean Penn is continuing to voice his support for Ukraine amid Russia’s unprovoked invasion of the country. The 61-year-old “Dead Man Walking” star has been working on a documentary about escalating tensions in the country since last year, and flew to Ukraine in February to get a firsthand look at the war. After spending some time on the ground in Kyiv, the actor told Hollywood Authentic magazine that he recently thought about taking up arms against Russia. ...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemRevelation 8The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer 8 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up...

Critics warn that Atlanta-based extremist group is abusive, dangerous Last month, Gazi Kodzo, the leader of the extremist sect the Black Hammer Party, led a small band of followers on a protest march through downtown Atlanta, threatening Mayor Andre Dickens and the Atlanta Police. He announced that he was armed with “a lot of guns” and had security for anyone who tried to shut him up. “Kill the police!” Kodzo shouted into a bullhorn as a follower with a cell phone camera beamed the march to the group’s YouTube channel. “To get free, you’ve got to kill the pigs.” The...

The current war in Ukraine is not a battle between the good and bad guys; it has everything to do with the setting up of a one-world government. Both sides favor a New World Order, but are they fighting for the same vision? Both Putin and Zelenskyy graduated from Klaus Schwab’s school for Young Global Leaders. Schwab, founder and head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), promotes what he calls the Great Reset, which is a Marxist reordering of the world’s economy under one government. So how do we explain what’s happening in Ukraine? I believe the answer lies in...

Sen. Dianne Feinstein turns 90 next year, at which point she will be in the penultimate year of her fifth Senate term. Finally, years after the rest of the press was privy to an open Washington secret, Feinstein’s colleagues have ramped up the pressure to force her out. Feinstein, multiple Hill sources told the San Francisco Chronicle, is “rapidly deteriorating,” often unable to recognize colleagues in the chamber or recall conversations she just had. The only shocker is that Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the opposite chamber of Congress, stuck her neck out to protect one of her own. Democrats...

A 21-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fatal armed robbery at a Georgia gun range that left three members of a family dead last week. Jacob Christian Muse, of College Park, is charged with three counts of malice murder, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a news release Friday. When Grantville officers arrived at the scene of Lock Stock & Barrel Shooting Range on the night of April 8, they discovered the bodies of the gun range’s owner, along with his wife and grandson. The victims were identified as Thomas Hawk, 75; Evelyn Hawk, 75; and...

Leftist cancel culture is being driven by the emotionally deranged agenda of teenage girls. It is not often that two contrasting mainstream media events reveal so completely the nature of the deep dysfunction of modern culture. Yet that is precisely what happened last month. Those two events are as follows: First, contrarian Substack writer and known anti-woke crusader Andrew Sullivan appeared on Jon Stewart’s new show, “The Problem With Jon Stewart.” I do not think I am being uncharitable when I call the appearance a disaster. Which, to be fair, is not entirely Sullivan’s fault, seeing as he was thrust...

It took Jimmy Carter three years for his popularity among the wildlife community to sink to the point that a hissing swamp rabbit defied the Secret Service cordon and assailed Carter, but here we are, not yet 18 months into Biden’s reign, and pigeons are pooping on him. Though probably not near as much as voters will in November. Well at least he hasn’t lot a battleship (yet), unlike that other guy.

Putin, Xi Jinping, and the world’s other tyrants are symptoms, not causes of the existential threats America faces. Here’s a question that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who wrote his Warning to the West 46 years ago, would ask American patriots: Will you be faithful to stand up against the tyranny of our day?! Will we live or die on this hill that our Nation’s forefathers feared would be America’s end without the corrections of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights? Half of our country has lost entirely the meaning underlying our original documents, which were rooted in principles of...

Joe Biden sent his family scathing articles about Hillary’s declining popularity with black voters, impending investigation over her private email server and her top aide’s private deals with the UAE. Joe sent an email to Hunter, with the subject ‘Mills’....linked to a WsJ editorial on Hillary’s top aide Cheryl Mills, who was paid to negotiate a private deal with the United Arab Emirates. Two weeks later Joe sent another email, containing a link to a Wall Street Journal editorial on Hillary’s top aide Cheryl Mills, who the Washington Post revealed was paid to negotiate a private deal with the United...

The warmists will never give up on the global warming hoax. In the Monty Python sketch, “The Parrot,” a customer returns a parrot he had bought just 30 minutes before. Why? Because it is dead. The shopkeeper insists that the parrot is not dead but resting. Nothing the customer says can change the shopkeeper’s mind. Our modern-day shopkeepers, the global warmists, insist a cataclysmic doom is our future unless we throw the entire world into a state of complete chaos. There have been a number of studies on our side that show global warming is a hoax. Will the left...

Don’t be fooled, though, into thinking that the administration intends to ease up on the inflationary pressure from high fuel prices. It means, instead, to stifle drilling. Inflation in America is the worst it’s been in over 40 years, with much of the inflationary pressure coming from soaring fuel prices. On Friday, though, the Biden administration announced with pride that it has refused all but 20% of the requests for oil and gas leases on federal land as well as raising royalty prices for drilling companies. The Biden administration’s goal isn’t to make life better for ordinary Americans; its goal,...

California public school enrollment has dropped for the fifth year in a row — a decline of more than 110,000 students... Some students entered private schools, which saw an increase in enrollment. Home schooling also increased
