I will freely admit to being an opossum convert. There was something about them that made me uneasy. But over the years we've all learned so much more about the wonderful critters.

A Small Ask
Author: Raine Date: 06/29/2023 12:22:53

We have plans to go on a boat trip on the Chesapeake Bay today. This morning I got some terrible news about a dear friend's family in NY, so I have been very distracted since I woke up.

TFG is still indicted and more will be handed down in the coming days, I suspect. I'm gonna carry that with me today.

Also, whether you pray or not my friend and her family could use the energy of the good sort today.

Do Two Lies Make the Truth?
Author: BobR Date: 06/28/2023 12:27:55

A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.
— Alfred Tennyson, 1809-1892, English poet

On Monday, CNN aired an audio tape of TFG showing classified documents to several people. It's a jaw-dropping bit of audio, and deserves a listen (available at the link). It was recorded by an assistant of former WH COS Mark Meadows, with a couple of TFG's "staffers" present.

As it should have, the reactions created were immediate. It's one thing to read a transcript; it's another entirely to hear it in his voice as he's blathering on. Naturally, this caused some sturm and drang on the part of TFG, who came up with the worst possible explanation ever...

"It was bravado"...

Coup de Nah
Author: Raine Date: 06/26/2023 13:02:36

Happy Monday. I'm not going to do a deep dive this morning on the events over the weekend, because while most media outlets seem to want to believe that there was an attempted coup in Russia, we still don't know what happened. We don't know what will happen.

Society in Freefall
Author: TriSec Date: 06/24/2023 23:11:26

Good evening.

I'm sure you're aware that Boston has the fourth-worst traffic in the world?

I drive in it every day - but why is that? And what does it have to do with society?

Just something silly today. Answering the age old question - can you laser engrave on a kernel of corn?

Honor and Enmity
Author: Raine Date: 06/22/2023 12:26:17

Back in 1936, 3 days before the Presidential Election, FDR addressed his supporters at Madison Square Garden. He soon would be entering his second term in office. 'Roosevelt described forces which he labeled "the old enemies of peace: business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering." He went on to claim that these forces were united against his candidacy; that "They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred." ' Wiki

Frogs in the Pot
Author: BobR Date: 06/21/2023 13:05:55

Over the weekend, TriSec posted a blog detailing events happening as they related to the predictions in Revelations. For another take on this, one could look at our warming planet as a descent into Hell. We are literally roasting ourselves alive.

To wit:

Nearly 100 people died in India over the last few days, due to a heatwave with temperatures reaching 109 degrees F. Considering that most "hot tubs" have a max temp of 105, this is horrendous, especially since there's no good way to cool off. One area of India reached 113 degrees.

Good Morning.

Well, an interesting story presents itself to AAV from Mississippi. Given that the military is well-regulated and trained, they'd be the place to find everyone with a gun. But what about outside the base?
