Uncategorized 4 Minutes

Thirty one years ago, when I was 31 myself, I married the most wonderful man! We had a whirlwind courtship, engaged after just 10 weeks. But I’m getting ahead of myself.

They say true romance never runs smooth, and they are right! The night of the proposal, I had an evening college class. My future husband dropped by just after supper and asked if he could talk with me on the porch. I went out and he said he needed to use the bathroom and would be right out. When he finally came out, he looked really nervous. He began by saying how different we were, how we came at life from different perspectives, and how we were pretty set in our ways.

I was sure he was breaking up with me and began to cry. I told him I needed to get to class and we could break up AFTER my class. He grabbed my arm and whirled me around and said, I want to marry you! I just asked your Dad and he gave me his blessing. Say yes!

UMMMMMM…WHAT???????

I did say yes, and we started to plan a June wedding…we had only met in July, and here we were planning to be married in June! I was beyond happy! But I was also in my final year of college–working full time and raising my son alone. I was BUSY! When I first began evening college, I promised my son I would take him to Florida after I graduated–a promise he reminded me of constantly. And a promise is a promise!

By the time May rolled around, the wedding details were finalized, the vacation I promised my son was booked and I had made significant progress on my wedding gown (did I forget to mention I was also making my own gown? LOL) and I was studying for finals.

I thought I was going to pull this all off! I took my finals…aced them all! I graduated suma cum laude and a Phi Beta Kappa. (One thing crossed off my to-do list!) The day after graduation, my son and I departed for Florida. We spent a fun week in Florida–seeing Disney World, Sea World and everything else on his little list. (Second thing crossed off my list!)

Thankfully this was NOT on his list…lol

The week after we got home from vacation, disaster struck. I got pneumonia. I continued to work and stress about the wedding details, but put finishing the dress on hold. I just didn’t have the strength. At this point, my future husband’s ex-wife decided she HAD to meet me, approve of me and decide whether or not I would be an “appropriate” addition to her daughter’s life. She was met with staunch silence. She then threatened to take my future husband to family court to change the custody agreement if he didn’t agree and he said have your lawyer call mine. After she made that phonecall and found there was nothing she could do to compel me to meet with her, she threatened to come to the church and ruin the wedding. Hubby enlisted additional family members to stand watch at the church and remove her if she showed up.

When our wedding day arrived, the gown was ready, the “guards” were ready and the day was HOT. The bridal cars were being decorated in my family’s driveway, when a limo pulled up. One of my hubby’s groomsmen worked at a rental place, and as a surprise, rented us the limo. Although it was a nice gesture, he had to be the one to drive it–which displaced the entire bridal procession. My brother who was to drive us in my Dad’s new car now had no job. And the bridesmaid who was supposed to be in the same car as the limo bringing groomsman had no one to ride in the car with her. Sigh…but we rolled on anyway.

The wedding itself went off without a hitch…the ex never showed her face. Afterwards we went to the Rose Gardens to take pictures before the reception. After enduring a half hour in the hot June sun posing among the flowers, I was looking forward to an air conditioned ride to the reception hall. The heat in the limo was stifling–and hubby asked the driver to blast the air conditioning in the back. He said…I AM. sigh…the air conditioning was NOT working in the back. I passed out.

I awoke to a large glass of water being thrown (yes, you read that correctly–THROWN) in my face. They drove to my parents’ house, got a large glass of water and threw it in my face. My hair, my make up and my dress were soaked. When I opened my eyes, my hubby and the driver looked pleased with themselves that they got me awake. I was livid. I wanted to go into the house and fix my hair and my make up and try to dry my dress…I was told there wasn’t time. The guests were waiting for us at the reception hall.

I managed to fix my face a little and off we went to the reception. As the bridal party entered the hall, the dj announced their names flawlessly. When he got to ours, he said…please welcome, for the first time…Mr. (hubby) and Patrick Frederick. Sigh…

Happy Anniversary Honey!!!

    2. Good morning Pat and Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. Pat! Sounds like an eventful day. Our wedding was outside in July. I about sweat to death in my monkey suit and my wife was late arriving. All turned out well though, we celebrate our 6th next week.

  11. EXCERPT: “The Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal employees will remain blocked until at least September after a federal appeals court on Monday agreed to reconsider its previous decision to reinstate the mandate.

    The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans will revisit its April ruling by a three-judge panel that the administration has the legal authority to require federal employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19, The Associated Press reported. The new injunction will remain until the case can be argued before the full court’s 17 judges. According to The Epoch Times, the court has tentatively scheduled the en banc oral arguments for the week of Sept. 12.

    Back-and-forth rulings on federal worker vaccine mandate since January

    Biden introduced Executive Order 14043 in September 2021, requiring more than 3.5 million federal executive branch workers to undergo vaccination unless they secured approved medical or religious exemptions. The order did not allow workers to choose regular testing in place of getting the vaccine.

    In December 2021, Feds for Medical Freedom — a grassroots organization with about 6,000 members throughout the federal civil service — sued the Biden administration and several federal agencies. Other parties to the lawsuit included the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 918, a union representing employees in the Federal Protective Service and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and several other individuals and federal contractors.

    The groups sought to block two COVID-19 vaccine mandates: one covering federal employees and the other for federal contractors. Lawyers representing the Biden administration argued the Constitution gives the president, as the head of the federal workforce, the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation, and that therefore mandating vaccination was under the president’s authority.

    The plaintiffs disagreed, countering that such action oversteps a president’s powers.

    “The main thrust of the argument [of the plaintiffs],” attorney Bruce Castor Jr. told The Epoch Times in February, “is that the president doesn’t have the authority to issue an order like this, pursuant to the powers granted him in Article Two of the United States Constitution, and that’s the same argument that won the day in the Supreme Court regarding the 100 or more employees; the president doesn’t have that authority.”

  14. EXCERPT: “Sudden cardiac death is what the media and public health agencies are now glibly referring to as “sudden adult death syndrome” or SADS.

    The older and more appropriate description for SADS is “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome,” but they don’t even want to use the word “arrhythmic” anymore, as that tells you what the death is really caused by, and many are now aware that the jab can cause heart inflammation.

    By avoiding the word “arrhythmic,” it’s easier for them to pretend as though people are dying for no apparent reason, and certainly not because of the COVID shots. Still, real-world facts tell us that SADS didn’t take off until after the shots were rolled out, and the vast majority of young healthy people who suddenly die for no apparent reason have been jabbed.

    Also, understand that if your child or you are injured by the shot, you cannot sue the drug company for damages and, so far, the U.S. government has rejected all but one of the claims filed with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program.

    At the current pace of about 18 claims a month, it would take 38 years just to get through the current backlog, Reuters has noted. Basically, many may die before their case even gets through review.

    COVID jab authorization granted for babies

    As if the situation were not bad enough already, on June 15, the FDA’s vaccine advisory panel — the VRBPAC — unanimously approved (21-0) to grant EUA to both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID shots for infants and young children. Pfizer’s EUA is for a three-dose regimen (3-microgram shots) for children 6 months to 5 years old, while Moderna’s EUA is for a two-dose regimen (25-microgram shots) for children 6 months to 6 years.

    In the video at the top of the page, Steve Kirsch, president of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, interviews reporter Toby Rogers, who endured the entire nine-hour day of the recent VRBPAC meeting. The day before that meeting, June 14, Rogers published a written summary of Pfizer’s trial on young children, which he referred to as “an embarrassment.” “Any VRBPAC member who votes Aye on this junk science application should be removed from his/her job,” he wrote. Apparently, they all need to go.”

  18. Good morning y’all! Got to work early today…about 5 am. Had to drop Ms. Mama off at the airport at 0430 for her flight to D.C. Have to pick her back up tomorrow night. Vacation starts Friday for me and Saturday for her. She has been approved to work remotely when we move, so that is a blessing. With luck it will be made permanent. Just have to get her high speed internet hooked up. Most likely going to try Starlink. Enjoyed the opening Pat! My wife was 31 when we married also, I was 41. I asked permission from her parents as well. Thought her dad would be the tough one, but it was the opposite. He was very enthusiastic about it and I still tease her about it to this day.

      “However, I thought I would share some information regarding the cake smashing. If you have already decided that this is something that you’re going to do, that’s a personal decision. It’s always good to know the origin of a tradition.

      Cake smashing, “Dear Abby”, June 26, 2011

      The cake-in-the-face custom should have been retired at least 50 years ago. The significance of the “ritual” is extremely demeaning to women. According to the book “Curious Customs” by Tad Tuleja (Stonesong Press, 1987): “The cake-cutting at modern weddings is a four-step comedic ritual that sustains masculine prerogatives in the very act of supposedly subverting them.

      “… in the first step of the comedy, the groom helps direct the bride’s hand—a symbolic demonstration of male control that was unnecessary in the days of more tractable women. She accepts this gesture and, as a further proof of submissiveness, performs the second step of the ritual, offering him the first bite of cake, the gustatory equivalent of her body, which he will have the right to ‘partake of’ later.

      “In the third step, the master-servant relationship is temporarily upset, as the bride mischievously pushes the cake into her new husband’s face. … Significantly, this act of revolt is performed in a childish fashion, and the groom is able to endure it without losing face because it ironically demonstrates his superiority: His bride is an imp needing supervision.

      “That the bride herself accepts this view of this is demonstrated in the ritual’s final step, in which she wipes the goo apologetically from his face. This brings the play back to the beginning, as she is once again obedient to his wiser judgment. Thus, the entire tableau may be seen as a dramatization of the tensions in favor of the dominance of the male.”

  26. Entire Article: “For all those who are freaking out that Maxwell only got 20 years, there are a few things to consider.

    Firstly, I understand we all know what Maxwell did was horrific and we all believe she deserves much worse than she got, but as the letter of the law goes, this is an appropriate sentence. Don’t get mad at the sentencing, get mad at the way the law is written, and advocate to your representatives to pass legislation for harsher punishments for these crimes.

    Also, she is 60, meaning she won’t be out until she’s 80. That is, if she lives that long. So in the terms of getting the monster off of the streets and behind bars, I’d say this is just about as good as we could have hoped for, realistically speaking.

    She and Epstein can’t do damage to anyone anymore, and hopefully the rest of the co-conspirators/clients are brought to Justice as well. So it might not be the massive victory you were hoping for, but it ultimately gets the job done.

    Also, now that the predators are dead or behind bars, the most important thing is mass public awareness. Now that the veil is lifted, it’s no longer a conspiracy theory that rich elites are trafficking sex slaves and many of them are children. This story is mainstream, and helping with mass awakening. Now we have the stage set to prosecute others involved with a legal precedent and the public with a baseline understanding that these evil acts really happen.

    As to if the clients will be exposed and held accountable? I have no idea. As we know, the clients are very wealthy and powerful people, and may be involved in other ongoing investigations, on much bigger crimes. These crimes may include threats to NATSEC in multiple countries, if not the world, therefore giving the military jurisdiction.

    For example Bill and Hillary Clinton are implicated via the Lolita Express flight logs to the island, but the Clintons are also under investigation via Durham for possible treason and sedition, and then there are the allegations of the Clintons and many others breaking the BWTC and Nuremberg Code, via their involvement in the Ukrainian biological network.

    So I’m not entirely sure how this all shakes out or what this process looks like. These are uncharted waters. Unprecedented in magnitude and scale. Which will likely cause for an unprecedented response that none of us could possibly predict.

    And for those of you who claim to have lost hope… Remember 4 weeks ago during the Sussman sentencing and everyone lost their minds? And I told you all to relax and in a couple weeks you’ll forget about it? Now everyone’s on cloud 9 from the huge victories and barely even remembers Sussman.

    In conclusion, this is a victory. A big one. A huge “conspiracy theory” has been confirmed true, the ring leaders of the globalist child sex traffickers are dead or behind bards, their crimes are well known by the mainstream public, and now the masses are more willing to look into other things the media heavily labeled as a “conspiracy theory”.

  34. EXCERPT: “The Ukrainian military is being routed in the field, and now losing badly to the Russian military, which has successfully employed old-school industrial warfare to vacuum up territory that provides Moscow with port access. Time is no longer on the side of Kiev, which continues to lose territory, and has failed to chalk up a significant battlefield victory for many weeks.

    Similar to the trillions in “pandemic expenditures,” the costs related to the war have officially entered sunk costs territory. The Ukrainian military is on its heels, and it has no hope of independently regaining territory from Russia. Thankfully, there is no appetite in the West for direct confrontation, which could lead to a World War 3-like outcome.

    I am not convinced that any sum of money and arms thrown at Ukraine, regardless of how much of that money actually finds its way to the battlefield, can fix this geopolitical reality. And for the American taxpayer, it is simply not worth the endeavor.

    And it’s quite likely that none of this money “for Ukraine” will actually in any way benefit your average Ukrainian citizen. As the great Ron Paul once explained, “foreign aid [in its current form] is taking money from poor people in this country and giving it to rich people in poor countries.”

    Not a penny of American taxpayer dollars, let alone a prospective price tag of hundreds of billions, should be spent to finance a foreign turf war and subsidize a broken and corrupt government. The Zelensky-led government needs to stop its delusions of a World Police coming in to save them from Moscow. Instead, create an opportunity to protect your sovereignty, and engage the Russians in negotiations for a settlement that allows for the rebuilding of your country.

    Both America and Europe are in dire straits, and regardless of the economic outlook, it is long past time to relinquish the democracy projects abroad. In an era of political, economic and societal chaos, the U.S. and its allies don’t have the time nor resources to play imperial war games. Instead, they should reprioritize towards rebuilding nations that created the most admired, desired, and enlightened civilizations in the world.”

  35. Entire op-ed:

    “In my 20s, my girlfriend and I mutually agreed to abort our baby in the first trimester of her pregnancy. I do not remember talking about having a baby, nor do I have any recollection of my emotional state at the time, but I do remember it was a mix of emotions. Though trivial, I recall my ex-partner having food cravings, and it was for something spicy and something from a fruitería shop; this unfortunately may be my only memory of her pregnancy.

    The week or so I knew I had helped create a baby after the results of the pregnancy test was joyful. However, I did not know what it meant to have a child on the way, I was not prepared for a child. I was a typical young man raised in the U.S.: I was immature, had a serious lack of motivation, and, if my drinking habits continued, I would have been at serious risk of developing alcoholism.

    Although I had supportive parents who financially were in a place to help me out, the worries of being able to raise a child with my broken life weighed on me. I was not doing well in school, my girlfriend was living with me in my parents’ house, and the dynamics between my dad and girlfriend were horrible. The messages I heard around me were, “You can’t have a baby now! Think of your future!” The list of why we were not qualified to raise a child started to get longer and longer.

    We somehow decided to have an abortion; I say somehow because I don’t remember what the process of this was and we did not have any memorable conversations about what it meant. I did not feel comfortable speaking to my parents about this choice as I thought I’d get in trouble for not being diligent for using a condom.

    I drove my girlfriend to and from the private hospital where the abortion took place. I remember the pain and how much we cried. For years, I did not process the event that had taken place, nor did my risky sex life change. In the future, I continued to use a condom sometimes, but when I did not, the morning after pill was readily available.

    That relationship ended after other life difficulties overwhelmed us, so we decided to go our separate ways. Since choosing to abort our baby, we have not spoken to each other about our choice. Although it still hurts that I do not have the gift of a child in my life, I have experienced much healing through an active search to reconcile this choice. Through sharing my story, I hope that others do not make the same mistake I made.”

  36. EXCERPT: ““Someone complained, and it was gone.”

    That’s all Cornell University biology Professor Randy Wayne said he has been able to determine so far about the whereabouts of a longtime display in the Ivy League school’s Kroch Library of a bust of President Abraham Lincoln in front of a bronzed Gettysburg Address plaque.

    Wayne, a frequent visitor to the library, which houses Cornell’s rare and manuscript collections, said when he stopped in several weeks ago he noticed the display had been disappeared.

    “It’s been there since I can remember,” he told The College Fix in an interview.

    He asked the librarians about it, and they had no details to provide, except to say it was removed after some sort of complaint, he said. It’s been replaced with, “well, nothing,” Wayne said. The walls are white, according to photos Wayne took for The Fix.”

  39. Excerpt of book excerpt (hmmmm….ok, is that confusing enough???)

    “And if you thought the four years under Donald Trump were bad, those were a piece of cake compared with what would come. A presidential election was approaching in 2020 and the economy was booming. What were Democrats and their reliable friends in the news media left to do other than turn up the dial to a breaking point, generate mass race rioting and covid hysteria, then promise the public that it would only go away if they were put in charge?

    It was fraudulent but enough voters found it persuasive. The bigger problem, however, was that by validating the tactic and voting for Joe Biden, Americans effectively encouraged the Left’s worst impulse, which is to spread its own bitter, joyless misery.

    Even when Democrats emerged victorious from the suffocating bonfire of 2020, having control of the White House and all of Congress for two years, has their mood change? No. It’s only gotten worse.

    They may have traded their pussy hats for Fauci prayer candles, but the attitude has never been angrier or more spiteful. Vengeance has animated them each and every day. There are scores of studies, surveys, reports and data to back up that truism. But like others, I also know it so well firsthand.”

  40. EXCERPT: “Anything seemed possible last weekend. The Biden regime attempted to snow under the Supreme Court with a blizzard of press releases from every cubby-hole office staffed by a purple-haired cat-lady in Washington DC.

    So much for the Administrative State being a neutral group of civil servants.

    The Biden regime was getting very insurrectionary with the Supreme Court — and it was making it clear that the federal government was not going to allow federalism to flourish again. Was the Executive Branch simply defying the Judicial Branch and the Legislative Branch — and seizing power for itself?

    Who knows. It’s hard to keep up these days. Between the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh, the illegal protests at the private homes of Supreme Court justices, the illegal arrest of Peter Navarro by the FBI, the illegal raid of former DOJ official Jeff Clark’s home by the FBI, and the illegal seizure of law professor John Eastman’s phone without a proper warrant by the FBI — the answer seems to be that Merrick Garland is trying to become another Caesar.

    Needless to say, who is not a domestic terrorist in 2022? Everybody wants to riot in America right now.”

    EXCERPT: “De Gaulle’s Secret Motive for Really Hating the Nazis

    Did I mention that one of the main characters is De Gaulle’s beloved daughter, Anne, who had Down Syndrome? She was born to the couple back when such kids were called “Mongoloids” and their handicap often blamed on maternal syphilis. Doctors recommend that the busy couple with a large family relegate Anne to an institution, but they refuse. Instead, they lovingly home-school her, and she thrives.

    In fact, the film accurately shows us that Anne became the most beloved child of the close-knit De Gaulle family. Charles relied on her love and simple goodness to raise his spirits, as he battled against invaders who were even then massacring handicapped children in Germany, the first phase of the Holocaust. (The West is currently doing much the same, aborting in some countries more than 90% of such children.)

    So there’s your pro-life angle, which parents might use as a teaching moment about eugenics new and old.”

    1. Back in the 70s when I was heavily involved in politics, another activist and his wife (Catholic) had a large family … last child had Downs … she grew up at home … in a most loving environment. Her family thought her a joy, a special gift from God.

      My cousin’s 2nd child has Downs… she too is a joy…

      What is wrong with humans? Can’t they see a gift when it smacks them in their face?

      1. i agree!
        gosh when i was 14, i started working summers at a rehabilitation place. there were people with disabilities, mental and physical and they were paid minimum wage to do little things–stamp papers, remove staples and whatnot to get files ready for micro filming–the micro filming itself. the summer kids’ jobs were to assist them. (move boxes, carry trays) and there were so many lovely people there!!!
        people happy to be doing something productive—it was an amazing experience for me–i worked there during the summers for 4 years!

        1. My Dad and I had a very deep conversation about my cousin’s child. That is what she is … a really bright light. We come into the world filled with Light, Joy … and that light and joy diminish as we age and are subjected to our “whirl” … but these entities retain their Light and Joy . Most peeps see it as “lack” … perhaps it is not “lack” but “more” – they have risen ‘above’ our “whirl” – they “see” in the stillness, the timelessness …
          when I interact with one of these angels I feel we are on the ‘Soul’ level, direct eye contact… perhaps ‘peace’?

  42. Once again, WHY is it on the back of the tax payer to support this POS for the rest of his natural life??!!?? DEATH PENALTY PLEASE!!!!

    EXCERPT: “An Iowa man was sentenced to life in prison Monday following his conviction last month for murdering a state trooper. Michael Thomas Lang was found guilty in a Grundy County courtroom back in May of first-degree and other charges in the death of Sgt. Jim Smith, a 51-year-old husband, father, and 27-year veteran of the Iowa State Patrol (ISP).

    District Court Judge Joel Dalrymple handed down the sentence of life without parole, plus 25 years for attempted murder and five more for assaulting a peace officer, the Des Moines Register reported. The sentences will be served concurrently.

    Authorities said in the complaint the shooting occurred on April 9, 2021, when Lang fled from an attempted traffic stop, assaulted a Grundy Center police officer, and eventually barricaded himself inside a residence.

    “During the assault, Lang yelled, ‘shoot me’ multiple times to the Officer. Lang disarmed the officer of his Taser, removed his radio and put the Officer in a chokehold,” the complaint said. Sgt. Smith was one of the law enforcement officers who subsequently entered the residence Lang had entered. The suspect, however, had grabbed a shotgun and opened fire.”

  43. EXCERPT: “One month ago CNN breathlessly reported, “Exclusive: Supreme Court leak investigation heats up as clerks are asked for phone records in an unprecedented move.” Nina Totenberg reported to her NPR audience, “After the leak, the Supreme Court seethes with resentment and fear behind the scenes.” Bloomberg lectured that the “Supreme Court’s Leak Investigation Is Self-Destructive.”

    Well, pardon me, but after all this unprecedented phone confiscating, seething, and self-harm, I just want to find out who the hell did this and hound him for the rest of his professional life. I want him charged with crimes, I want him to be required to assume liability for the millions of dollars in arson and other damage he has inspired, and I want retributive justice. Throw that guy in the slammer with the J6ers. Let him feel what it’s like to get jacked up by the FBI and have your phone taken before you even get a glimpse of a warrant, like what happened to John Eastman simply for being a Trump lawyer.

    President Trump has nothing on this leaker. At least Trump knew his supporters understood his hyperbolic rhetoric. At least President Trump knew there was no pattern of his supporters rioting. He certainly had no expectation of such, but the same cannot be said of the leaker and his buddies on the Left. The leaker knew exactly what he was doing. He knew the Left would mobilize, riot, protest, firebomb, and threaten the justices to change their votes or else because they’ve been doing the same for years. Hell, the leaker probably helped them. He knew Justice Alito would be targeted–that’s why he made sure the photo of the draft opinion and the names of the co-signers were leaked into the political swamp. To get a reaction. A violent reaction. Ask Brett Kavanaugh’s wife and children about that. Is there another explanation?”

  44. Entire Article: “Justin Broomhall made quite the catch on Father’s Day. Broomhall was fishing at Lake Cherokee in East Texas when he hooked into something big. He was using dough bait in hopes of catching a catfish, but it wasn’t a fish that took his bait. Instead, he reeled in an absolutely giant alligator snapping turtle. Once he wrangled the creature to the bank, he picked it up for a photograph.

    “I do a lot of lifting. I was a bodybuilder in high school and 200 pounds to me is pretty easy to pick up. [But] I was struggling with it,” Broomhall told MySA. “My three-year-old son started panicking. He thought it was a dinosaur and kept saying, ‘Let it go! Let it go! Put it back!”

    Broomhall estimated that the giant turtle was between 100 and 150 years old. In Texas, alligator snapping turtles are considered a threatened species. It is illegal to take or possess one. The alligator snapping turtle is the largest freshwater turtle species, according to the National Wildlife Federation. They live in the waters of the southeast U.S., from northern Florida to eastern Texas. Their numbers have been on the decline in recent years due to overharvesting for meat and loss of habitat.

    With the turtle in hand, Broomhall realized that the fishing hook was still embedded in its beak. Broomhall slid into the water with the beast, grabbed it by the tail, and pulled it partway onto land. Then, with the help of his father, he slipped a rope around its head, flipped it on its back, and removed the hook. Then he safely released the giant reptile. “On Tik Tok and Facebook, everybody was saying [the photo of the turtle] was photoshopped,” Broomhall told CBS19. “I’m telling you the God honest truth it was the biggest turtle I’d ever seen.”

    1. our neighbor told us the story of the large snapper turtle that came to his pond repeatedly (he had it stocked with bass) and how he tried to shoo it away with a chair–it snapped the leg in half. he tried running it off with a metal rod–it just waited till the old man got tired and came back later.
      we worried it would make it’s way to our little pond, but he took care of it. one morning coming back from the little diner he had coffee at every morning, he ran over with his truck–4 times!!! then made turtle soup…

  49. Ultra Maggot sets up website for girls to get around abortion laws
    FTA

    For women under age 18, AbortionFinder.org directs them to a separate website to obtain a judicial bypass to get an abortion “if you need to avoid involving a parent or guardian.” …

    The webpage contains a “quick exit” button that immediately redirects the website to an unrelated webpage, presumably so a minor can avoid getting caught browsing the site.

    Girls under 18 who want to avoid parental involvement — or who are being pressured into an abortion by their abusers — are encouraged to contact the Repro Legal Helpline, which helps teens obtain consent from a judge instead of a parent.

    “There are other options if you can’t or don’t want to involve your parents, or if your parents refuse to support your decision,” the group states on its website. “You can get an order from a judge that lets you get an abortion without telling your parents. This process is called judicial bypass.”

    Most states require that a parent consent or at least be informed before their underage daughter has an abortion; however, 12 do not.

    The new government website also promotes mail-order abortion drugs to women of all ages, claiming they are “safe and effective.”

  50. HA! ceo of bed bath & beyond fired after dropping My Pillow…
    FTA
    Within months after dropping MyPillow products from their stores, Bed Bath & Beyond is in a fiscal freefall. They have now fired their CEO and are turning off air conditioners in retail stores across the country in an effort to save money.

    Chances are dropping MyPillow played less of a role in their current freefall than the fact that Bidenomics is tearing through retail stores like an Oklahoma tornado, but it’s conspicuous that Bed Bath & Beyond seems to have been hit harder than less “woke” retailers. For transparency, we wholeheartedly support MyPillow, not just because they’re one of our sponsors (promo code “TLD“) but also because they’re an America First company led by an America First patriot, Mike Lindell.
