Summer Eggs 2

 Finally, after a few weeks they are here.

More later.....

What is Bill Gates Planning?

Why would someone with as much money as Bill Gates spend it on farmland?

Answer: control

Having that amount is all about control of the food supply; it should be against the law.

I wonder what other plans he has for the land.

Summer Eggs

 

I was surprised to discover this because it is so late in the summer. 

More as this develops....

Bookstore Current Affairs

 

This is the Current Affairs section at Barns & Noble's bookstore. If this is any indication of the direction of our country, we are in trouble. 

July Christmas

 

This past weekend I went to Hobby Lobby with my wife; there was not much for me to look at, but this caught my attention.

It's July, and Christmas is in December. People will prepare 6 months before December the 25th, and on the 26th, all the decorations are boxed and stored away. The month of December is Advent - the preparation for Christ's birth, a time of deep reflection. The 26th is the first day of Christmas, not the 1st of July. The 12 days of Christmas are the days after the 25th. 

I will usually go on this rant every July.  Let's keep the holidays within their respective months.

Decipher

 Continuing from the last post...

Should journalists/media report all the news, good or bad?

I believe they are responsible for reporting both because they are lying to us if they don't. They are withholding the truth.

The news is so biased it is hard to decipher what is true and what is not.

Just my opinion...

 

July

 

July - America's month

On the 4th, we celebrated our independence, which I believe most people take for granted.  Our independence from England allowed us to form a new nation based on freedoms and rights for individuals written in the words of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

One freedom that is exercised every day is the freedom of speech. We see and hear this in the news, on social media, and on this blog.  Some people could only dream of being able to voice their opinion about whatever they wanted without being persecuted or arrested. 

Freedom is a God-given right, and those who live with this freedom should thank God every day.

What does this say about November 2022?

 

Soylent Green

I haven't seen this movie yet, but it looks interesting, made in1973, about the year 2022.  The plot summary below seems to echo what is in the news currently.

Soylent Green (1973)

Plot Summary by Mystic80

A tale of Earth in despair in 2022. Natural food like fruits, vegetables, and meat, among others are now extinct. Earth is overpopulated, and New York City has 40 million starving, poverty-stricken people. They only survive with water rations and eating a mysterious food called Soylent. A detective investigates the murder of the president of the Soylent company. The truth he uncovers is more disturbing than the Earth in turmoil when he learns the secret ingredient of Soylent Green.

Reasonable Conclusion

What is really dividing our Nation?

The United States is clearly divided on the issues of the decisions made by the Supreme Court.

Why?

Two groups of people have existed since this country's founding. But who is right or wrong? Either side will point to the other and say they are wrong. So, how does one determine the right side?

First, we have to openly look and hear both sides. Once the facts have been determined to be accurate, one can come to a reasonable conclusion.  Now, this might seem too easy, but the problem is people do not listen; their predetermined minds have already decided the answer. 

The bottom line is people have stopped listening. They do not want to know the truth. I realize people have experiences, traditions, and history that shape their thinking.  But for a civilized society to function, we must listen to one another, and clearly, not all will agree - what is the absolute truth?       

Praise God

The ruling on Friday (Roe v Wade overturned) was on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

God still works miracles for those who pray. 

St Teresa of Calcutta - "Do not let the past disturb you. Leave everything in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and begin again with joy." 

Lets us say a few extra prayers of thanksgiving for this gift.

 

Bluebirds 3

 

The heat was too much for the bluebirds for several weeks, with temperatures in the upper 90s and a few days above 100 degrees. This is all that is left, and this one egg will probably be gone soon. 

Higher Decisions

It has been a topic for the last several days about when The Supreme Court will make its final decisions about several controversial issues.

The Justices have a critical role because their decisions will affect the laws of the land that will apply to every citizen; it is the final word. The main branches of our government, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, are entirely separate; no one department has power over the other. 

But I predict if their decisions go the way I believe, the President and the Legislative branch will somehow find a way to reverse their decision.

The First Day of Summer

Today is the official day of Summer.

The time of the year when most people are busy doing what they love outdoors, except those who work outside. God bless them; they have a hard job working in the elements all year.

I think most people enjoy the summer because everything seems to come to life, gardens are growing, lawns are being mowed, and people are boating or spending more time at the beach.

I say this from the perspective of someone who has experienced all four seasons, so I look forward to the warmer months. I'm not a fan of cold weather. 

So, Happy first day of Summer.

The Distraction

I would believe if you asked anyone on the street, what is the one thing that worries you the most?

I don't think it would be the Jan 6th hearings.  The media has gone to the point of broadcasting the event on primetime evening television; nobody cares.  Let's move on; problems like the economy are affecting everyone.

This is an apparent distraction from the reality of the failed policies of the Biden administration.  Plus, this distraction is a straightforward build-up to the November elections. The hearings will focus on what is terrible about the conservatives.

 

Live PD / On Patrol Live

A few years ago, there was a TV show called LivePD on the A&E network.  I was a huge fan until the network decided to take it off the air because of all the George Floyd protests. 

This was a huge mistake; the fan base was a big part of the popularity; typically, on a Friday or Saturday night, it would trend on Twitter.

Anyway, it's Back on the air!!

The new show is called "On Patrol: Live" on the Reelz channel.

 

Heat

What's up with the heat?

And no, it's not climate change.

Just a short opinion

I don't believe in climate change.  The weather has been changing since the earth was created.  Oceans levels, temperature changes, and storms have always existed and changed yearly. And for those that believe the United States is contributing to the pollution causing the change. 

They should look to China first, where the pollution is so bad that wearing masks has become the norm.
