| Mercedes, Lisa, Tammy, Juliet, Mom, Dad 1998 |
I came across this gem yesterday while searching for a photo for Juliet. I don't remember seeing this before and I'm not sure the circumstance. Looks like an airport. Anybody remember? Looks like around 1998. Michael's Mission homecoming? My memory is terrible.
But since we all looked especially lovely, I thought I would post it. :-)
This is getting way out of hand. There is a huge story in the New York Post about the Hunter Biden, Joe Biden Ukraine scandal. Proof found on a laptop in a repair shop. And of course the story is being suppressed in the media and censored on social media. That right there is interfering with the election. It's got to be illegal. And I'm not just talking about Facebook and twitter censoring average people posting or talking about the story. Twitter literally banned the White House Press Secretary, Kayleigh McEnany because she posted the New York Post story to her twitter. Twitter also banned and censored James Woods the actor, for posting the story.
It's insane! So much censorship and suppression of the truth. We are not talking about opinions. We are talking about facts. Proven facts taken from Hunter Biden's laptop. His own words!
From Rush Limbaugh.com:
"But the American people need to know, because this is about serious political, criminal corruption — Biden family corruption. It’s about tech industry corruption involving Facebook and Twitter, and the American people need to know about this before they vote. Now, there are a number of stories out there concerning the Biden family. You probably have seen them.
It’s not the first time the Bidens have been in the news for shady deals.
But what we’re learning must impact the November elections. It must have an impact. This cannot be suppressed. We cannot let the tech industry and others get away with suppressing or hiding or basically disappearing these stories. The past 36 hours of news and news suppression confirms what most political observers have already known, that Joe Biden, like Hillary Clinton, sold his office for millions of dollars.
...And this is when James Comey rode to her rescue on July 5th of 2016 and proclaimed that she had not done anything anybody would prosecute. Today another massive scandal has been confirmed by emails. These are emails from the laptop of Hunter Biden. These are emails from the laptop of Joe Biden’s son. Now, this scandal — it honestly is, folks — this scandal is so big and so dangerous, like it was with Hillary, that an enormous cover-up is underway to save Biden’s presidential bid. Nothing less than an effort to save Biden’s campaign is underway.
That’s why the story is being suppressed. It’s why people that trade in the story are being –well, their accounts are being closed. They’re being doxed. The FBI had in their possession and controlled Hillary’s emails. Because of that, the Obama deep state never allowed the details of Hillary’s violations of the Espionage Act or her grotesque abuses of power to see the light of day. The FBI had in their possession and they controlled Hillary’s emails.
It was a massive government-run cover-up led by the FBI, led by James Comey. Maybe we’ll get full details someday. That can wait because Hillary’s scandal is different from Biden’s. The FBI does not control the evidence of Biden’s corruption. But the FBI had Hunter Biden’s laptop the entire time when they were trying to impeach Trump. They had all this. The FBI had his laptop. His laptop had been turned over. His laptop turned in to a computer repair shop in Delaware. They knew what they had. They chose not to act on it.
The evidence contained in Hunter Biden’s laptop of financial malfeasance of government payoffs, of blackmailable events, makes what Hillary Clinton was trafficking in really small stuff. Joe Biden is no different than Hillary Clinton in that he was selling access to his family and to him for huge amounts of money and for the enrichment of his son Hunter.
"... [Joe] Biden had been at the Council on Foreign Relations — we played you this audio I don’t know how many times — bragging about how he got the prosecutor, who was looking into his son’s malfeasance, fired." -- Rush Limbaugh.com, October 15, 2020
I'm not going to go into all the details. You can read about it if you wish. You certainly won't hear on mainstream media.
This is a huge scandal. It's really unethical for the media to suppress this information. But when has the media been known to be ethical? After all, they are an arm of the Democrat party.
This is the Gadianton robbers on steroids. Yet how many people still think Joe is just Joe? And are still going to vote for him?! Unthinkable. Seriously, anyone who votes for Joe Biden is extremely ignorant and oblivious or stupid or just plain evil.
The man is involved in very serious crimes. Not just the Ukraine scandal with his son, Hunter. I can't begin to name all the crimes associated with that. But Joe Biden is also a pathological liar, a pervert to put it mildly -- predator is a better word. Joe is also a known racist who spoke at the funeral of his good friend, Robert Byrd, a former KKK member. Not to mention the simple fact that Joe Biden is suffering from dementia. He can't even run his own life, let alone the free world. "Hidin' Biden" is a good nomenclature for him -- he won't even answer policy questions before the election. He keeps flip-flopping trying to tell people what they want to hear knowing full well that he intends to destroy this nation and take away our liberties and freedoms.
Donald Trump has done so much for this nation in the nearly 4 years that he's been in office.
Here is a list of some of his accomplishments from an article in the Federalist:
"Trump’s list of first-term accomplishments has been truly impressive:
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh had President Trump on his radio program for two hours. I read most of the transcript and this exchange jumped out at me. It is spot on and sums up this election.
From Rush Limbaugh.com:
RUSH: Let me try to simplify this. You know, one of the things I’ve tried to do, learn to do over the course of the years is make the complex understandable. I think this election, Sir, is really simple to explain, particularly people who are the undecided, and I don’t know how many of those there are. I, frankly, don’t know how you can’t be decided by now.
THE PRESIDENT: (chuckles) Right.
RUSH: But this election really boils down to two propositions. One is it’s between a man, you, who believes America is good and decent and great, against people —
THE PRESIDENT: Right. It has great potential.
RUSH: — against people who are behind Joe Biden who think America isn’t good. They think America is unjust and immoral from the days of our founding, and they are trying to undermine and transform this country as founded. And that’s why you are undermined. And that’s why your successes are hidden. That’s why your successes are distorted and lied about. It’s no more complicated than that.
Folks, if you love this country, if you love America — the America you think exists — you don’t have a choice in this election. Your only choice is President Trump. If you don’t support President Trump here, you are gonna end up facilitating the transformation of America into a country it was never intended to be. You’re gonna have $13-a-gallon gasoline with the Green New Deal.
You’re gonna have so much disruption in your life that you can’t possibly imagine — and don’t doubt me. They’re not gonna be honest with you about this. But that’s really what this is about. You are good. You believe America is good. You believe America is great. You want to keep it that way, and you want to solidify it, and you want America’s greatness to be enshrined and empowered for decades beyond you.
Rush is exactly right. This election is between good versus bad. President Trump loves America, believes America is good, believes the American people are good, decent people who can think for themselves and make their own decisions, and President Trump can see the potential to make America better.
On the other hand, Joe Biden and the Democrats hate America. They think America is bad. They believe it's been bad from its founding. They think the American people are stupid and need the government to tell them what to do. Joe and the Democrats don't care about you or the American people. All they care about is power and control and destroying our great nation.
If you want the government to control you and make your decisions for you and destroy America -- vote for Joe Biden.
If you treasure your freedom and want to make your own choices and want America to be even better -- vote for Donald Trump.
Elect Joe Biden if you want to be controlled, oppressed, destitute, and miserable.
Elect Donald Trump if you enjoy freedom, prosperity, and happiness.
That's my two cents
Mike Pence crushed Kamala Harris like a bug. She, like her running mate Joe Biden, have no interest in telling the truth. All Kamala did was spew lies just like Joe. And just like Joe, when Vice President Pence would set her straight by speaking the truth, all she knew how to do was smile and laugh nervously.
I honestly didn't know much about Kamala Harris personally, before the debate, I had never seen her speak. But she came across as defensive, angry, arrogant, pretentious, deceptive, repetitive, chiffy -- overall very unlikable. She obviously thinks she's smarter than she actually is. She wouldn't answer direct questions, but instead would repeat the same garbage she had already stated several times which had nothing to do with the questions she was asked. She can't think for herself obviously. She had to go off of her list of lies she was told to spew. The vice president said it best when he told her, "But look, Senator Harris, you're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts."
On the other hand, Vice President Pence came across as genuine, caring, knowledgeable, truthful, confident -- and very likable. Unfortunately he had to spend a lot of his time correcting Kamala's lies. But he was still able to answer the biased questions asked of him, very well and with confidence -- sometimes in the next round, but he got to them. The difference between the two people, tickets, parties was obvious. It's good versus evil. That's what it boils down to.
I think this quote from Vice President Pence sums the whole thing up:
"The difference here is President Trump and I trust the American people to make choices in the best interest of their health. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris consistently talk about mandates, and not just mandates with the Coronavirus, but a government takeover of healthcare, the Green New Deal, all government control. We're about freedom and respecting the freedom of the American people." --Vice President Mike Pence, October 7, 2020, Vice Presidential Debate, Salt Lake City, Utah.
President Trump and Vice President Pence are about freedom and choice -- agency. They know that people should make their own choices and not be forced into doing what the government dictates they should do. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are about all government control and no freedom -- no agency.
If that doesn't sound like good versus evil -- Jesus' plan versus Satan's plan -- I don't know what does.
That's my two cents.
"Upon analysis of negative-stained SARS-CoV-2 articles by electron microscopy, researchers have determined the diameter of this virus to range between 60 nanometers (nm) to a maximum diameter of 140 nanometers (nm)." 1
Comparing the size of the novel coronavirus to something we are all familiar with, human hair, we see that the virus is anywhere from 400 to 1000 times smaller.
"A human hair has a thickness that is typically in the size range of 60 to 120 µm... The size of a single human hair is comparable to the size of as little as 400 SARS-CoV-2 particles to as many as 1,000 particles." 1
There is no way to experiment on the effectiveness of masks regarding SARS-CoV-2 using typical microbiology experiments using agar and incubation. Those are great for showing the spread of bacteria which is huge compared to viruses. And I have no doubt that masks do help stop the spread of bacteria. But viruses are too small to see even with the most powerful light microscope. They can only be seen with an electron microscope.
Therefore it's only logical to me that if the mask won't stop water vapor, smoke or even fine dust particles, it certainly won't stop a virus.
If you've noticed, mask mandates are everywhere, yet the virus continues to infect people.
As I've said before, the only way to stop a viral pandemic is by letting it run its course and achieving herd immunity. Or through effective vaccination which will also create herd immunity.
It's quite simple.
Like President Trump said, don't be afraid of COVID. Its mortality rate is akin to a bad flu year. Yes, some people will die. But that's part of life. Even in the last few months therapeutic treatment has advanced and fewer people are dying from COVID-19. There's no reason for normal, healthy people to be walking around with masks on their face everywhere they go. Masks belong on people in hospitals not in Wal-Mart.
That's my two cents.

Another great singer-songwriter has graduated from mortality. Mac Davis, born January 21, 1942, died September 30, 2020.
I used to listen to Mac Davis a lot in my 20s. "Baby, Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me" is one you might remember. Catchy little tune. Of course my favorite was, "It's Hard to Be Humble". I used to sing that song to my companions on my mission all the time. What can I say? Humility is a hard characteristic to acquire. Mac and I both know the struggle. :-)
"You know it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way, I can't wait to look in the mirror, 'cause I get better looking each day. To know me is to love me, I must be a heck of a man, you know it's hard to be humble, but I'm doing the best that I can..."
I didn't learn until a little bit later in my life that Mac Davis also wrote several songs that Elvis cut. The most famous probably being "In the Ghetto". He also wrote, "Memories", "Don't Cry Daddy", and "A Little Less Conversation".
I'm sure you all are on pins and needles waiting to hear my take on the debate last night. Well, here you go. There wasn't really a debate. Every time President Trump would start debating, Chris Wallace would stop it. Biden did nothing but spew lies, call names, and laugh.
I know a lot of people may think that President Trump was interrupting too much. But all he was doing was trying to tell the truth and correct the lies. He had to interrupt because Wallace would not let him respond to the lies. Wallace wouldn't let him respond at all.
Biden did not debate. He just spewed lies, disrespected the president by calling him all kinds of different names, and would just smile and laugh condescendingly. Very childish and unprofessional. Biden even lied about stuff where there is evidence-- video evidence to prove President Trump right.
One example was when Biden said he never called soldiers a certain vulgar name -- there is video evidence to prove that he did. Yet he still denied it. When Biden claimed that law enforcement endorsed him, President Trump asked Biden to name specific law enforcement that endorses him and he flat out refused to answer the question. Because there are none. It was a joke. I could go on with examples of Biden's lies and incompetence, but it should be fairly obvious if you watched the debate.
President Trump was right when he said that he was debating Chris Wallace and not Biden. Wallace was the worst moderator I have ever witnessed. Totally and completely biased towards helping Biden and thwarting President Trump. Biden had his rehearsed lines. It was really more of a press conference than debate.
President Trump tried to make it a debate, but Chris Wallace would have none of it. Chris had to coddle his demented fellow leftist. Par for the course for the media.
It would have been nice to have an actual debate but obviously Joe Biden is incapable of anything close to an actual debate with a man as smart as President Trump. Chris Wallace made sure there would be no actual debate with all of his interruptions and stopping President Trump from refuting the lies and stopping President Trump anytime he asked Joe Biden a good question or made a good point.
Still, I think the American people are smart enough to figure out that President Trump is a fighter and will always do what is best for America and the American people. President Trump is sincere, unlike plastic two-faced Biden. President Trump wants to make America great again and keep America great. Unlike Biden and the left who only want to help themselves while destroying America. President Trump was up against two people last night and still crushed it.
That's my two cents.
I don't usually do movie recommendations. I'm not a movie person and most of them are not worth watching. But I saw a good movie and I'm going to recommend it to you. It's called Spirit of the Game.
The CDC has had more prominence this year than usual, thanks to the Wuhan virus. However, when America looked to it for help, it wasn't ready, whether with tests or useful advice. Its lack of preparedness might have been because the CDC's been expending its time and your money training its people in Critical Race Theory (CRT) rather than disease control. And while I'm currently agnostic about a vaccination's efficacy (I need a lot more information), I'm also suspicious when the CDC's director, Dr. Robert Redfield, announces that his surgical mask is what will save him and what will save all of us.
Aside from being inherently distrustful of the CDC thanks to its epic run of errors and unpreparedness, I'm also suspicious about the timing of Redfield's attack on Trump's plans for the vaccination. The CDC just engaged in a small but significant power struggle with Trump. Days after Trump exercised his constitutional executive authority to end CRT seminars in federal agencies, the CDC announced that it would proceed with a mandatory 13-week CRT seminar. The administration has canceled the training, but it's clear that the CDC is at war with the administration.
There's one more reason why I'm skeptical about Redfield's praise for masks when he spoke before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee. I recently received an email from someone who specializes in masks, and he gave me some fascinating facts that I'll share with you (with my correspondent's permission).
Here's Dr. Redfield. Please note that the mask he's waving around is the classical surgical mask. It's thin and fits relatively loosely over the nose and mouth:
To set the stage, the person who sent the email is a chemist who has worked in the filtration industry. He's helped develop masks used in medical and industrial settings. He also holds patents on several filters. As he says, "I know a little bit about filters." That's why he believes that masks of the type Redfield is waiving around are useless:
Surgical masks were not designed as filters and were not intended to be used as filters. Surgical masks were designed to be used by surgeons standing face down over an operating table holding a patient with an open wound. The surgeon wearing the mask would be able to talk to others in the room without discharging spittle droplets into the patient's wound. Spittle droplets are large and can cause infection.
I witnessed a test of surgical masks. Small plaster particles were generated in a room. They were visible as a white dust in the air. A man was properly fitted with a surgical mask and spent a short time in the room. When he came out, the mask was removed. A camera was focused on the man's face. The entire area that had been covered by the mask was coated by the white dust. The camera showed that his nostrils and his mouth had been penetrated by the white dust. The dust particles were measured and found to be around 40 micrometers in diameter. The particles that penetrated the mask were the same diameter.
Covid-19 virus molecules are about 0.1 micrometers in diameter. That is 400 times smaller than the plaster particles that penetrated the mask.
Surgical masks will not prevent the wearer from inhaling or exhaling viruses or bacteria. They provide absolutely no protection for either the wearer or anyone nearby. They create a very dangerous false sense of security for everyone. They also force the wearer to rebreathe carbon dioxide, which will, over time, reduce the wearer's blood oxygen level. That can become very dangerous, especially for older people.
This farce is being promoted by sleazy politicians who believe that if they can convince people that they are protecting them or creating a safe environment for them by pushing this mask farce, those people will re-elect them.
All politicians pushing this dangerous mask farce should be voted out of office as soon as possible.
I'm already starting to hear anecdotal evidence that students are getting fungal and bacterial infections thanks to the masks they have to wear all day (especially because students don't keep their masks very clean). This is worrisome because the front of the face is called "the triangle of death" because it's close to the brain. When a doctor who has government power at his back waves around a mask that has no utility and can cause bad infections in vulnerable areas, I start to worry. -- American Thinker.com
I decided to include the full article because it shows the politics behind mask mandates. I would certainly trust a chemist who works in the filtration industry and has developed masks for medical settings. More than I would trust some politician or CDC director who never studied mask design or how they work as filters. You're not taught that in medical school.
But it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out that if particles 400 times larger than a virus can easily penetrate a surgical mask, then certainly the Chinese coronavirus-- or any virus for that matter -- would have no trouble getting through the mask.
Like the filter expert was explaining, surgical masks were designed to prevent large droplets from entering and infecting open wounds. There were not designed to filter viruses.
The CDC director, Doctor Robert Redfield, is irresponsible at best and I would call it malpractice to suggest that the surgical mask is more efficacious at stopping the virus and spread of COVID-19 than a vaccine. That's absolutely ridiculous. Either he's lying through his teeth or he is the stupidest doctor on the planet.
This entire Wuhan China coronavirus pandemic has been political from the get go. It's no coincidence that now that Trump has a vaccine that will likely be ready around election time, that the left is pooh-poohing the vaccine. Instead they are pushing the dangerous facemask. Which has nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics.
You would think, of all people, that the director of the Centers for Disease Control would want to protect Americans, like President Trump wants to. President Trump single-handedly pushed this vaccine production way ahead of schedule. President Trump actually cares about Americans and wants to protect us and save lives. Apparently Doctor Redfield and the CDC cares more about politics than people.
That's my two cents.
"Anyway, so while they’re demanding that everybody on the sidelines, from the coaches to the medical staff to the trainers to whoever, all wear masks and all maintain social distancing, right out there on the field you got 22 players not wearing masks who are not maintaining a social distancing of six feet. They’re out playing the game of football. They are exchanging bodily fluids in one of many different ways, including sweat and spit, and there are no steps being taken whatsoever to mitigate. And yet the league is insistent that over there on the sidelines everybody wear the masks.
"Now, to me — look, I understand the league. They’ve got a bunch of local and state authorities that they have to keep happy here if they’re gonna get exemptions to have these games played eventually with fans in the stands. But just the hypocrisy of this is illustrative of the cockamamie aspects of all of it. If you can have 22 guys out there playing the game and not protected in any way, then you’re gonna get upset over people on the sidelines not wearing masks and so forth — is it okay for the 22 guys playing to get infected? Is it okay that they run the risk? Is it okay that they take no steps at mitigating?
"Well, obviously it is because if they were to wear masks and if they were to maintain proper social distancing, guess what? There wouldn’t be any games. No way you can play football with a social distancing requirement of six feet. And there is no way you’re gonna get top athletic performance from skilled players wearing masks who need to be able to breathe unencumbered.
"...National Football League players are tested every day. I don’t know — look. I think everybody is. I think the support staff, the coaches, the trainers, I think they’re all tested every day. You might say, well, then what does the mask mean? Why wear the mask? The mask is a symbol, folks. The mask means you are to be afraid." -- Rush Limbaugh.com, September 14, 2020The hypocrisy shows how crazy this is. It's okay for 22 guys to play full contact tackle football, within inches of each other, breathing each other's air -- yet as soon as they go to the sidelines they have to wear a mask? How ridiculous!
And what did you do, Nancy? You went indoors without a mask to a government mandated locked down salon. Which-- according to science -- is much worse than the outdoor affair at the White House. Hypocrite!“What further evidence does anyone need that this president doesn’t care less about the spread of this virus than to see what he did?” Pelosi said. “Bringing all those people there, no masks, no distancing, and the rest. He slapped science right in the face.”-- Nancy Pelosi, "All in with Chris Hayes", MSNBC, August 31, 2020
