If you weren’t there, you missed out

Dinner at my Brother’s house. All his kids, some of the other nieces, me and the parents.

3 dogs.

The food was outstanding. My sister in law does everything from scratch, and the care she takes shows in the excellence of the meal.

That’s ham, turkey, smashed taters w/gravy, corn casserole, mac and cheese, and a roll. Enough calories to feed an entire ethiopian village for 3 days.

I had another plateful minus the ham, and plus some of the other sides that wouldn’t fit on the first plate.

Then 2 pieces of pie (there were 4 choices, plus cake, plus cookies).

A cup of coffee to help me stay awake.

I hope that you, wherever you were, had it as good. (‘Cause it doesn’t get much better than that).

Was good to see my family, the nieces and their men, and have everyone (that could get there) together.

Remember why we celebrate Thanksgiving in the US. For those who live elsewhere, who don’t celebrate, you really miss out.

Wednesday words of wisdom (12)

 

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.”

“Good things come to those who believe…Better things come to those who are patient. Great things come to those who never give up”

The great philosopher Epictetus emphasized that meaningful relationships of all kinds  are built on mutual understanding, respect, and a shared sense of purpose. Without that, it isn’t a relationship.

“People change, love hurts, things go wrong….life goes on anyway”

“The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts”

“Better to be alone than be someone’s emotional punching bag”

“No man is free who is not the master of himself”

“Never be someone’s sometimes”

“You can’t change the past, But you CAN change what happens next”

“A person, a true friend, who loves you the most is the person who is willing to tell you the truth about yourself, even if it costs them”

Trust the Science.

I mean, surely this will put the issue to rest, right?

The Czech division of the International Climate Intelligence Group (Clintel) organized a two-day climate conference in Prague on November 12-13, 2024, where climate scientists declared that the “climate emergency” is over.

“Trust the science” and all that. It was good enough when they had an agenda to push, why not today?

‘The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which excludes participants and published papers disagreeing with its narrative, fails to comply with its own error-reporting protocol and draws conclusions some of which are dishonest, should be forthwith dismantled.’This declaration supports the conclusions of the major Clintel report, The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC. Moreover, the scientists at the conference declared that even if all nations moved straight to net zero emissions, by the 2050 target date the world would be only about 0.1 C cooler than with no emissions reduction.

The problem is that no-one will get fired

for having the program in place to begin with….And for the agents who “Just Followed Orders” and did the unconstitutional searches.

All of them, every single person involved, the DEA agents, their supervisors, all the way to the top, should be fired, lose their pensions, and be barred from ever working in law enforcement (or any other Federal government job). They knew it was wrong, unconstitutional, and therefore illegal. They chose to do it anyway…..

Feds stop “Controversial” airport search program after being sued by the Institute for Justice….and being caught in video.
