What Shall We Make Today?

Food 1 Minute

Picnic season is starting, so let’s make an easy, no bake dessert! Chocolate Lasagna!

Recipe Ingredients:

1 package regular Oreo cookies (not the Double Stuff kind) – about 36 cookies

5 Tablespoon butter, melted

8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons cold milk

Optional – 4 tbsp chocolate liqueur such as Godiva Chocolate Liqueur or Bailey’s.( If you don’t want to use this, just leave it out! No substitution of another liquid is required.)

12-ounce tub Cool Whip, divided

2 of 3.9-ounce packages Chocolate Instant Pudding

3 1/4 cups cold milk

1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions:

Crush 36 Oreo cookies. You can use a food processor, but you could also place them in a large ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer mallet. Crush until the Oreos have turned into fine crumbs.

Add the Oreo crumbs to a large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Use a fork to mix the butter into the cookie crumbs. Transfer the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch baking dish, pressing the crumbs into the bottom of the dish. Place the baking dish into the refrigerator and work on the additional layers.

In a large bowl mix the cream cheese with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add 2 Tablespoons of milk and sugar. Mix well. Add the chocolate liquor if desired. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip and completely mix. Spread this mixture over the Oreo crust.

In a bowl, add 3 and 1/4 cups cold milk to the chocolate instant pudding. Whisk for several minutes until the pudding starts to thicken. Use a spatula to spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Allow the dessert to firm up on the countertop for 5 minutes.

Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top. Next sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top. Place in the freezer for 1 hour, or the refrigerator for 4 hours then serve.

This dessert can be frozen for a week.

ENJOY!

  2. from sundance…they set him up.
    FTA
    […] “Tim Parlatore and Jim Trusty, two of the undersigned counsel for President Trump, reviewed all 15 boxes at NARA earlier this year and based on that review, it is clear to us what happened. The boxes contain all manner of documents from the White House, are loosely grouped by date, and include newspapers, magazines, notes, letters, and daily schedules. Following its review of the materials, NARA inserted placeholder pages where it had removed documents with classification markings. That allowed Messrs. Parlatore and Trusty to discern what the documents were, as well as what other materials in the boxes were in the proximity of the marked documents when the White House staff packed them. The vast majority of the placeholder inserts refer to briefings for phone calls with foreign leaders that were located near the schedule for those calls.” (page 3, pdf link)

    Additionally, get this part… despite the standard process that has been in place for the prior four administrations, the NARA refused to participate in the collection of any documents from the White House during the transition phase following the November 2020 election.

    The NARA refused to assist in the collection of the Trump records for national archive holding and review, and then the NARA triggered a sequence of events that led to the DOJ using a reference from the NARA, to weaponize a process they refused to engage in. The NARA refused to do their specialized bureaucratic job, and then the NARA used what they defined as an incomplete job as a reason to refer the outcome to the DOJ. The details are quite interesting.

    The letter details how the DOJ-NSD then weaponized the process, fought with the FBI investigative and supervisory agents who were saying Trump was doing nothing wrong, and then culminating in a documented lie to the Florida magistrate, in order to get a politically motivated search warrant.

    The DOJ will not release the documents they used to convince the judge to obtain the warrant. Additionally, the DOJ will not release a list of the documents, or even describe the documents, they later claimed are classified. To this date, the Trump defense team is being told President Trump held classified documents, yet the DOJ will not describe to the lawyers who represent President Trump, what those classified documents are.

    DeSantis Condemns Trump Indictment — and Uses it to Campaign For Himself

    DeSantis posted a statement about the “weaponization of federal law enforcement” to his Twitter account on Thursday evening.

    “The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society,” DeSantis began. “We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.”

    The tweet continued, “Why so zealous in pursuing Trump yet so passive about Hillary or Hunter?”

    DeSantis then quickly switched gears to campaign for himself.

    “The DeSantis administration will bring accountability to the DOJ, excise political bias and end weaponization once and for all,” the governor concluded.

    It’s not about “uneven application of the law.” That implies that Trump has done something wrong. This is about political persecution of an innocent man to keep him out of office so others can take over the country.

    I’m starting to despise all these power-hungry sellouts.

    Backhanded “support” for Trump from Vivek Ramaswamy:

    We can’t have two tiers of justice: one for Trump, another for Biden. One for Assange, another for Manning. One for BLM/Antifa, another for peaceful protesters on Jan 6.

    I never thought we’d see the day when the U.S. President deputizes the DOJ to arrest his lead rival in the middle of an election. Obama shamefully tried to deputize the FBI to infiltrate Trump’s 2016 campaign, but they’re leaving nothing to chance this time around: the federal police state is outright arresting Trump.

    This is an affront to every citizen: we cannot devolve into a banana republic where the party in power uses police force to arrest its political opponents. It’s hypocritical for the DOJ to selectively prosecute Trump but not Biden.

    There are also serious legal questions about the President’s power to declassify documents and the potential illegality of the over-classification of federal documents in the first place. That’s for the courts to decide, but *we the people* decide who governs this nation.

    Oh, really? Overclassification by agencies is a real problem, but what are those “serious legal questions” about the president’s power to declassify, and how has that ever been a problem before the issue was brought to the fore when they framed Trump?

    It would be much easier for me to win this election if Trump weren’t in the race, but I stand for principles over politics. I commit to pardon Trump promptly on January 20, 2025 and to restore the rule of law in our country.

    Wait, what? He commits to standing by and letting an innocent man be railroaded, unjustly accused, indicted, and who knows what else, and all he can say is, “I’ll pardon him; elect me”? America is on fire, and alll these guys care about is getting into the White House in a year and a half.

    We can’t have two tiers of justice: one for Trump, another for Biden. One for Assange, another for Manning. One for BLM/Antifa, another for peaceful protesters on Jan 6.

  25. Rep. Wesley Hunt Press Office
    @RepWPH
    STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN HUNT ON THE BIDEN DOJ INDICTMENT OF PRESIDENT TRUMP

    On very same day the FBI agreed to allow members of the Oversight Committee to review documents tying Joe Biden to a $5 Million bribery scheme with a foreign national, President Trump is informed that he will be indicted by Biden’s DOJ.

    Coincidence? You don’t still believe those exist under this administration, do you?

    I know that we live in a news cycle today that can be difficult to keep up with. So allow me to remind those who may have forgotten that it was Joe Biden who was illegally in possession of numerous boxes of classified material he obtained both as a United States Senator, and as Vice President. Neither one of those offices afforded him the authority to declassify the material.

    In the face of this glaring irony, I wonder, is it ignorance that drives Biden’s DOJ to charge Trump over classified material, or is it hubris? Biden, Garland, and this entire administration have become drunk with power and they will pursue every avenue available to them to destroy Donald Trump, even if it means taking an open flame to the Constitution.

    Last night, one of the candidates running for the GOP nomination, demanded that the GOP not pledge support to a nominee if they are found guilty of this specific charge, and that if President Trump is the subject of an ongoing investigation then he should step aside.

    I have another idea. If the candidates running for the GOP nomination do NOT swiftly denounce the weaponization of the federal government to destroy Joe Biden’s top political opponent, then they should step aside.

    Donald J. Trump represents an existential threat to the status quo, a system that has failed America, and to the most unpopular, unqualified, and unfit President to hold this office in a century. That’s why this election interference persists.

    We the people will not be deterred, we the people will not be fooled, and we the people will continue to stand firm in support of a man who has sacrificed everything to restore our nation to the glory she deserves.

    Tuesday will be yet another soiled chapter in the great American decline, but it’s always darkest before the dawn, and the dawn is coming. That’s what they’re most afraid of.

    America, President Trump will be the Republican Nominee.

            It stands for “nonfungible token.”

            Nonfungible, meaning you can’t exchange it for another thing of equal value. A $10 bill can be exchanged for two $5 bills. One bar of gold can be swapped for another bar of gold of the same size. Those things are fungible. An NFT, though, is one of a kind.

            The token refers to a unit of currency on the blockchain. It’s how cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is bought and sold.”

    New York Lawmaker Wants To Ban Use Of Fossil Fuels In Making Wind Turbines And Solar Panels

    If a bill banning the use of fossil fuels in the creation of green energy projects were to become law, it would be the end of renewable energy. There’s no feasible way to manufacture and transport wind turbines, solar panels and electric vehicles without fossil fuels.

    New York state Sen. George Borrello, R-Wyoming County, has introduced a bill to require that all wind turbines, solar collectors and infrastructure for producing green energy be manufactured and constructed without the use of fossil fuels.

    His bill would also apply to the manufacture and distribution of electric vehicles.

    If the bill were to become law, it would be the end of renewable energy. There’s no feasible way to manufacture and transport wind turbines, solar panels and electric vehicles without fossil fuels.

    Borrello is well aware of this fact and said he suspects most of his colleagues in the New York Legislature do too.

  37. ENTIRE ARTICLE @ TrendingPolitics: “Concerns over economic weakness in the United States have led Saudi Arabia to institute a new round of cuts in its oil production, a move which builds on top of two previous rounds of cuts by OPEC+.

    Starting in July, the Islamic nation will reduce its oil output by 1 million barrels per day, news that will surely influence coming talks among OPEC nations to extend the previous rounds of cuts into next year.

    Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said his nation will do “whatever is necessary” to stabilize the crude market after slumps that have allowed U.S. consumers to fill their tanks at reduced rates. Analysts forecast higher rates at the pump in the near future, according to the Associated Press.

    ‘The move provides “a price floor because the Saudis can play with the voluntary cut as much as they like,” said Jorge Leon, senior vice president of oil markets research at Rystad Energy. “Gas is not going to become cheaper. If anything, it will become marginally more expensive.”

    Uncertain demand in the months ahead is not only limited to economic woes in the U.S. but Europe as well. In addition, Saudi Arabia cited a weak economic performance by China as the communist nation works to dig out from under its “zero Covid” policy.

    The reduction comes as Americans gear up for the traditionally heavy season of summer driving, something the Republican candidates for president are sure to cite as a hardship resulting from President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy. Polls show the majority of Americans blame Biden for the nation’s ongoing struggles with increasing unemployment and persistent inflation. Another poll, asking which Republican they feel would better handle the economy, gave former President Donald Trump an astonishing 71 percent approval rating, something the frontrunner is sure to tout as he prepares to take on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and other challengers.”

  38. National Nanotechnology Initiative Specifically Speaks of Covid 19 Bioweapons As “Nano Technology Enabled” And Plans Many More Nanotechnological “Vaccines”

    ANA MARIA MIHALCEA, MD, PHD
    JUN 8, 2023

    EXCERPT: “Millions of people have been mislead in a concerted effort to divert attention from the study of nanotechnology in the C19 shots. Mainstream “freedom doctors” proclaimed that we see nothing but salt, sugar and cholesterol. The analysis of the hydrogel clots was omitted, and finally, only Mike Adams analyzed them – confirming that they are made of self assembly polymers with metals – aka hydrogel. Since then I and my colleagues have presented much experimental evidence to validate these results repeatedly and will continue to do so.

    This means the nanotechnology had self assembled to grow to large sizes causing rubbery clots, not dissolvable by usual blood thinners.

    The omission of the discussion of nanotechnology by the “freedom movement” -except a few – seems so obviously out of place. I point out, you cannot have freedom without truth. We should also remember the vehemence of prohibiting the discussion of graphene oxide by world experts like Astrid Stuckelberger in Stockholm at “Health Freedom Conference” – as obvious forced narrative control. Many people say it does not matter, that talking about spike protein is more acceptable and those people suppressing the discussion are still fighting for freedom. Hence why bother pointing out the nanotechnology and synthetic biology aspect since it would just “upset people”?

    Except that is a shortsighted statement. If the whole world is deceived to believe there is only a spike protein posing danger to humans and that is the only focus of treatment, the real culprit of illness and blood clots of self assembly hydrogel nanotechnology is ignored – and people are getting hurt. Also, if the spike protein is not understood as a nanotechnological hydrogel enveloped entity, as Karen Kingston points out – treatment again is not directed at the correct target.”

  39. “How to Kill Your Brother Completely Legally–Using a clinical trial of experimental “targeted gene therapy” with only one participant”
    SASHA LATYPOVA
    JUN 8, 2023

    EXCERPT: “First, you will need to set up a non-profit working on “rare diseases” and experimental gene therapies. Next, enroll your brother as the single participant of your “personalized gene therapy” trial.

    Sadly, I am not making this up. Here is a report detailing what happened from Endpoint News. No, they do not see it the same way I do, they wrote this up as if some sort of good thing happened.

    ‘Terry [Horgan], a 27-year-old patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, died last October just eight days after receiving the therapy in a clinical trial in which he was the only participant. The case raised questions about the safety of certain gene therapies and what would happen to other drug programs under a nonprofit that [his older brother Rich] Horgan created, called Cure Rare Disease.’

    Siblicide happens to be one of the rarest forms of family homicide, and most often happens between two adult males. In this specific case I do not believe the killing was intentional. It was, tragically, due to the unchecked hubris of “DNA editing”, incompetence and atrophied sense of ethics in all involved, even the victim. The intense worship of technology, combined with absence of strong moral and ethical grounding has resulted in the majority of adults (including medical doctors and scientists) today unable to separate science fiction from science, and from physical reality. The phenomenon of hyper-reality describes the delusion which lead to the death of one of the brothers at the hands of the other. I think the worship of the Golden Calf idol of technology also applies here.

    Not a single person involved with this cockamamie assisted-suicide-by-science seemed to be concerned about what happened with Terry. Oh well, he died, but trust the science. It could have been worse – it could have “cast a pall” on CRISPR!

    ‘Others worried the ensuing tragedy would cast a pall on CRISPR, the experimental molecular scissors widely used to develop gene-altering treatments. Terry was the first to receive a CRISPR therapy tailor made to his disease, and the first treated with a form of CRISPR that dials up the expression of genes, rather than altering them directly.’

    CRISPR/Cas9 – Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats typically advertised as a “specific, efficient and versatile gene-editing technology we can harness to modify, delete or correct precise regions of our DNA”. It is never described as a bunch of buttons pushed by alarmingly less and less competent people, without real understanding what they do. Can anyone fully characterize genetic normality, please, before brandishing DNA cutting scissors to correct the “abnormal”?

    ‘But the autopsy cleared CRISPR’s name of wrongdoing, because Terry died before the therapy ever had a chance to work, researchers reported last week in a preprint study. Rather, it appears he died from an immune reaction caused by a high dose of the viral vector that shuttled the therapy to his cells.’

    Phew! It was his immune system that “over-reacted”, not the therapy! Therapy was great. It was the immune system that was bad. We cannot under any circumstances create CRISPR hesitancy. This reminds me of a dark Russian joke. Doctor: “Did the patient sweat profusely before he died?” Nurse: “Yes”. Doctor: “Oh, that’s good”.

    As typical of gene therapies, they can never be delivered to the right location in he correct amount. This is dependent on highly variable individual cellular processes which nobody in science understands to the degree that can be safely, predictably and reproducibly manipulated in humans.

    ‘High doses, topping hundreds of trillions of engineered viruses known as AAVs, are needed to get enough of the therapy into the right part of the body – in Terry’s case, his muscles. But such infusions have increasingly been linked to a small but significant number of deaths.’

    Oh. So whoever cooked up Terry’s lethal CRISPR/AAV brew knew that prior attempts resulted in deaths? Were there any successes at all? Looks like zero. Yet, this prior knowledge did not stop the DNA scissor happy crew. Neither did Terry’s death cause any concern for the cult of gene therapy, it’s full steam ahead!

    ‘Multiple gene therapy experts told Endpoints that they doubt Terry’s death will slow either the gene therapy field at large or efforts from families to develop experimental therapies for children or siblings with rare diseases. It’s a sentiment echoed by the couple.’

    “Had it been 10 years ago it would have halted the entire field,” Angela Lek said. “But now, no one even bats an eyelid, because for gene therapy, for CRISPR, it’s still full steam ahead because of the promise of what it can do.”

    For the sake of completeness, the non-viral modes of delivering gene therapies for rare diseases are also going bust. As the “science remains elusive”. Importantly, money is involved. Lots of it. I wonder if Horgan paid himself a handsome salary for managing the non-profit syndicate into which he appears to have lured other families?”

  41. “Durham ignores Clinton role, and new holes, in Russian hacking allegation–While faulting the FBI, John Durham ignored damning evidence he unearthed about the Clinton campaign’s role in the core allegation of Russian hacking — including potential perjury.”

    AARON MATÉ
    JUN 6, 2023
    EXCERPT: “Special Counsel John Durham’s final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign’s equally central tie to Russiagate’s other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump.

    Durham’s silence on the Clinton team’s role in generating this unproven claim comes despite his unearthing of evidence that newly calls it into question.

    Material obtained by Durham’s team shows that the Clinton campaign and its contractor, the cyber-firm CrowdStrike, stonewalled the FBI’s requests for critical data about the alleged Russian hack. Two key Clinton associates who were integral to the Russian hacking claim also appear to have perjured themselves before Congress.

    These overlooked revelations can be pieced together through court documents connected to Durham’s probe, particularly his unsuccessful prosecution of Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann on a separate perjury charge.

    In April 2016, Sussmann hired CrowdStrike to investigate the alleged hack of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). In mid-June ‒ just as Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS were producing their first Clinton-funded dossier report alleging a Trump-Russia conspiracy ‒ Clinton-funded CrowdStrike came forward to publicly accuse Russia of hacking the Democrats’ computer networks. Sussmann, who worked closely with the firm, lobbied the FBI to endorse the allegation. The FBI initially declined, but reversed course months later despite failing to examine the DNC/DCCC servers. Instead, much like its use of Steele’s dossier for surveillance warrants and investigative leads when it came to collusion, the FBI relied on CrowdStrike’s forensics and redacted reports.

    The FBI’s dependence on CrowdStrike – and, indeed, the entire basis for the Russiagate probe ‒ was further called into question when it emerged that the firm’s president had admitted under oath that it “did not have concrete evidence” of Russian hacking. Shawn Henry, a former close FBI colleague of Directors Robert Mueller and James Comey, made the disclosure to Congress in December 2017. Yet his testimony was kept secret throughout the entirety of the FBI’s Comey- and Mueller-overseen Russia probes, and only became public in May 2020.”

    I’ve been under the impression for quite some time at President Trump realizes that this run, and this next presidency are going to be quite different than 2016 or 2020. He must have known they were going to come at him guns blazing. He must have known that the personal peril and the necessary sacrifice were going to be brutal. But he decided to do it anyway. And now we’re in thick of it. But I also think one other thing. He must think he can win this. He’s not trying to martyr himself for no reason. We have chatted on this blog about the amazing things he has done and about the incomprehensible blunders he has made along the way. I don’t think anybody feels them more than he does. And he’s had a lot of time to reflect on this. I’ve known a couple of people in my life on that economic level, and I can tell you this. They are learning machines. I don’t think he’s going to make the same mistakes twice. We can’t do a lot ourselves, but spread the truth as best you can, and throw sand in the gears whenever possible. And let’s see what happens

    The House Ethics Committee has restarted an investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the latest legal problem for the controversial Florida Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
    Since DOJ didn’t charge Gaetz and is no longer scrutinizing him, the Ethics Committee is free to conduct its own investigation.
    The Florida Republican has been at the center of an ongoing standoff with Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the GOP leadership in the wake of the debt-limit crisis.
    Gaetz, 41, was also one of the most vocal opponents to McCarthy’s ascension to the speaker’s chair during January’s grueling 15-vote floor drama.
