I used to get this a lot with Buster and Missy on my lap: it wasn’t big enough for both of them.
Here’s one kitten maintaining his claim to the top of the footstool–one against four. Watch his siblings try and try to dispossess him of his perch. This is a cat who’s going to go places!
I’ve been very busy this afternoon. I have to edit Behold! and provide some material which our artist, Kirk DouPonce, can work up into a cover.
But we do have a hymn request from Susan–Speak to the Mountains, by Chris McClarney. You might find the lyrics reminiscent of a Psalm.
“Ah, we’ve just killed Caesar! Now what?”
I heard a commentator on the radio today who had a highly tempting message:
Now that Democrats have laid the groundwork, mapped out the path, for treating your political rivals as criminals, silencing dissent, and it being totally okay to set up “a mild species of dictatorship,” we who are not Democrats should be resolved that when our turn comes, when we have the power and they don’t, we are going to use that power as they used it–and hammer them silly.
Every red blood cell in my body cried out, “Yeah, man, yeah! Give it to ’em! Let’s see how they like it! At last the wheel turns! At last we’ll see the Democrats run over by it!”
But I soon got to thinking about the destruction of the Roman Republic… by the Romans. This is how it started: rival political factions pulling knives on each other. With us it’ll be “You threw our guy in jail, now we’ll throw two of yours into a worse jail.” The shooting and the rioting doesn’t start until a little later. In Rome it wasn’t safe to step out of your house to vote. That could happen here. Unless, of course, they’ve got the technology to change your vote even as you cast it.
Violence in Rome, chaos and fear–until finally Augustus Caesar is the last of the killers left alive, and the new ruler of the Roman world. Everyone else has been killed. And from now on, no republic.
So–do we just let the Democrats get away with what they’ve done? Heaven forbid. But there has to be a difference between accountability and vendetta. My flesh desires the vendetta, but it must not be.
Without any accountability at all, the whole nation is demoralized. Some of Biden’s stooges would do well to get out of town while the gettin’s good. But this must be law, conforming to the Constitution–not a blood feud. I don’t like saying so! But it’s the truth.
“Progressive agenda” in action!
From open borders to Critical Race Theory, from Transgender to high taxes, from identity politics to unlimited abortion… most people just don’t like “progressive” policies–according to a poll of 60,000 voters taken by a bunch of libs at the Winning Jobs Narrative Project (https://freebeacon.com/latest-news/progressive-pollster-finds-that-people-oppose-progressive-policies/).
Well, duhhhh! People don’t like those policies? Schiff, you could’ve knocked me over with a feather!
The pollsters warn their “progressive” clients that they’ll have to start sounding more like Republicans or they’re going to get clobbered in the next election.
The pollsters swear they’re dedicated to “advancing a progressive agenda.” How? By lying about it? By springing it on the public only after they’re elected? Nowhere do they offer a hint as to just what, exactly, a “progressive agenda” is. Because they know they have to keep quiet about that!
I can understand how they might be a little bit confused. After all, Far Left Crazies own the federal government, the schools and colleges, Blue states (lock, stock, and barrel), Hollywood, the nooze media, and have plenty of their stooges in office everywhere, working for the progressive agenda and turning the country into a basket case. How do they achieve all that if the people aren’t on their side?
Do you really need anyone to answer that question for you?
No, I do not publish pictures of these people. Here’s a nice puppy instead.
[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip]
As Democrats herd and prod and goad us toward their “mild species of dictatorship” (that they now admit they want to have), they must be feeling very confident because now they’re rubbing our faces in it. And laughing as they do it.
Example: Michigan attorney general calls for “a drag queen for every school.” Nooze media try to pass it off as a “joke.” Ha, ha. Just a li’l Pride Month humor ( https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/nessel-jokingly-calls-drag-queen-every-school-gop-not-laughing).
We are unable to explain how an in-your-face, to-hell-with-normal-people lesbian gets elected state attorney general. Really, how does that happen?
“Drag queens make everything better,” she quipped. “Drag queens are fun.”
Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin
Joking, was she? Any reason why we ought to believe that?
Democrats will turn our country into Hell.
“Advanced Placement Government” teacher in a public high school–on your dime, people! This is what you’re getting for your school tax dollars.
It’s not a challenge anymore, to find public education outrage stories. New ones surface every day.
Even so, these two stories do more than make you wonder if you’ve strayed into someone else’s delusion.
How many of your teachers, guidance counselors, principals, or school board members were either racketeers or communist wack-jobs? What–none of that would have been allowed, back then?
Tell me how these shenanigans in public “education” do anything but undermine our country, or society, or even our individual personalities?
It really has to stop. One way or another.
Our nooze media love to gloat over reports that Americans are leaving their churches and dropping Christianity. But are the reports true?
Christians aren’t going to stay in churches that aren’t Christian anymore. If Jesus has left the building, so should you.
Naturally we’re concerned by the numbers–if we believe them. Leaving a particular church is not the same as leaving Christianity. We do not forsake our assembling together for prayer and worship and thanksgiving. But we find new ways to do it.
Like here, for instance.
We have a good old-fashioned Sunday school favorite, requested by Erlene–Showers of Blessings, sung by Andy Harsant and choir. I can’t say I remember this one from my old Sunday school, but it would have certainly fit right in.
None of our cats ever did this–walk on just their two hind legs. But that’s nothing. A few of the cats in this video walk on just their two front legs.
All right, all right, so what? Now let’s see if they can tap-dance.
I don’t think the dog in this video would have had much of a problem falling asleep that night.
It’s harder to provoke cats to zoomies, but it can be done. What’s really hard is getting human beings to do it. If you have video of humans doing zoomies, please share.
