Running on empty
I have to go to the doctor this morning, so he can find something alarmingly wrong with me, Robbie needs more medical attention, Patty is freaking out from stress…
I might not be able to do my work today. I might not make it back to the blog at all, once I post the morning hymn.
Please pray for us. We need it.
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of fight in the dog.
Does that apply to dogs quite this small?
He certainly seems ready to challenge just about anybody. Any takers?
Somehow I forgot to post this yesterday, so here it is now: requested by Erlene, Through It All, by Carroll Roberson.
I do try to post every hymn requested by our readers. So keep ’em coming.
This is how Rome’s republic ended
With self-appointed “critics” wildly predicting that President Donald Trump, should he be returned to the White House, would go all out for “retribution” and “ending Democracy in America,” blah-blah-blah, Trump himself has cited strong reasons not to do so (https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-addresses-concerns-he-would-seek-retribution-i-would-have-every-right-go-after-them).
The lawfare, the quest to jail political rivals, and all the rest of that stuff freely indulged in by the Biden administration–“It’s wrong,” said Trump. “It has to stop, because otherwise we’re not going to have a country.” Ya think? But he did add that “I would have every right” to seek payback.
I can’t help thinking of the bitter end of Rome’s republic in the First Century B.C.–a crown offered to Julius Caesar, followed immediately by his assassination, riots in the cities, civil war in Italy and throughout the provinces, and finally, a permanent dissolution of the Roman republic.
Augustus Caesar, Pompey, Marc Antony, Cato the Younger… It seems Donald Trump is wiser and more humane than any of them were.
Maybe he has learned by their experience.
It’s gonna be great, right? Almost unimaginably so.
Isn’t it about time the dead got some input? And can’t we give it to them, via AI (“Artificial Intelligence,” as opposed to the real kind)?
C’mon, man! Thinking’s hard! You shouldn’t ever have to do it, once you enter public education.
Real Smart People are working toward that end. Pay your taxes cheerfully!
What did they spray at this guy to make him go away–and where can we buy some?
“Beto” was running for president when he made this prediction. We haven’t seen or heard from him lately. In fact, it’s been years.
Ooh-ooh! The Climbit Change Meanies must’ve got him! His arithmetic was a dead giveaway. Follow the trail of nonsense liberally strewn throughout his political career.
So where is “Beto”? He stepped off the train from Phonyland, made a few speeches, and then just disappeared.
Where do we buy whatever was sprayed at him to make him go away?
(Boy, we need a normal day today! Please pray for us.)
One of my favorite hymns, written by John Bunyan and found in Pilgrim’s Progress: performed here by the choir at Wallingford Parish Church and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra–He Who Would Valiant Be.
This cat is a foster mother. She certainly seems to have a knack for it. I wonder if these are all her kittens.
By the way, inquiring minds what to know: is that snoring or purring in the background? And who’s doing it?
The good guys win: take that, teachers’ unions!
Republican legislators who voted against school choice got clobbered in Texas’ primary elections last week, opening the way for a school choice/vouchers bill to be passed (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/after-texas-win-school-choice-groups-eye-other/). Fourteen of them lost their elections, one has quit… and that should be enough to carry the ball across the goal line.
The bill proposes to offer vouchers of $10,500 per student per year to families opting for private instead of public schools. A recent poll showed 88 percent of Texas families in favor of the school choice plan. And who wants to run against 88 percent of public opinion?
Well, Democrats do… but they won’t get far in Texas.
Is this really the answer?
It’s lookin’ bad for The Washington Post. “Democracy dies in darkness”… when you can’t pay the electric bill.
How bad is it (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/journalsim-dies-wokeness-washington-post-executive-editor-stepping/)?
Sales are down 50 percent, the executive editor has been fired, and, in the words of the CEO, “People are not reading your stuff.” That does tend to happen when you write nothing but Woke stuff.
And to top it off, rumors abound that the management will soon be replacing (ahem!) “journalists” with AI robots. But if the new robots just keep on writing the same old stuff we weren’t reading when the humans wrote it, what’s the good of that?
Well, at least the bots won’t ask for raises.
