This is the place for meetings, faires or fairs, get togethers, meet ups and such.

Count down to Jan 20th

Count down to Jan 20th 2021

 

Here we are a week before Biden/Harris get sworn in.

 

Half are happy and half are not…..   Things are what they are. Do the best you can.

 

Regardless of how you feel about all this, maintain your social distance from all the activities.

 

There is more going on than meets the eye with all this stuff last week.

 

Stay peaceful and orderly, remember that we are still a nation of laws .

 

OK so what to do during this time of change?

 

Gather information locally. Listen to your radios [am/fm broadcast, scanner, CB, ect to know what is going on. Stay away from any trouble spots. Share information with your friends and us here at the blog [in the comments section of this post] report any criminal activity you witness to the police.

 

Top off you fuel tank Thursday of this week AND again on MONDAY next week. Make your last runs to the stores to top up your provisions as if you were heading into a 3 week blizzard.

 

Review your communication plans with your family / team.

 

What do you still need to deal with a shelter in place situation?

 

Just a side note…   the national guard in all 50 states reportedly are on alert and for sure the ones in DC will be armed [and just as scared about the situation as anyone else is]. DO NOT push them,, they are just trying to do their jobs. Same with the police, FBI ect…

 

Be ready to provide first aid and other emergency care IF there is trouble…

 

With less than a week to go…..   the House wants to impeach NOW….   Consider that once the new people are in office at noon on the 20th – congress will no longer have jurisdiction to deal with The Donald….   So what is the real point?  It is a waste of time and effort…

Current events 20210107

 

 

Well things are getting really real and we need to pay attention to things, stay alert.

 

While we normally avoid politics it appears that all of us need to be more involved. Ymmv.

 

By now most everyone has heard of the situation in DC yesterday.  STILL half the country is happy and the other half is not….     Everyone just has to deal with it… till the next elections \.

 

There were several early reports that Antifa ect were planning a false flag op at the demonstration. I would think that THEY were the bulk of the rioting….  perhaps egged on by the deep state….   IDK was not there… BUT – late night national news about 3 am today heard it reported that facial recognition programs IDed several Antifa regulars were in the raiding party…    Have heard that repeated today..

 

Biggest issue for me is that we all need to pay more attention to the home front…   Violence is not the answer [except in self defense] …    stay ready to shelter in place, still share your/our points of view  with those we elect and remember all this next election.

 

The demonstration that we had in Cheyenne at the capitol [about 450 people which IS a big crowd for this state] was peaceful with no reported violence that I have heard yet….

 

Take care and stay safe…

 

 

Most of the following came to us from others  DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH on this.

NOTABLE QUOTES

 

President Trump speaking at the DC 1/6/21 Save America rally: You’re stronger, you’re smarter, you’ve got more going than anybody and they try and demean everybody having to do with us. And you’re the real people. You are the people who built this nation. You’re not the people that tore down our nation.

 

Elijah Schaffer , Blaze TV tweet: BREAKING: Trump supporters have breached the Capitol building, tearing down 4 layers of security fencing and are attempting to occupy the building — fighting federal police who are overrun. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Thousands, police can’t stop them

 

Daniel Greenfield contributor to Frontpage Magazine wrote: After a year of normalizing riots, of silencing anyone who dared to condemn rioting as a racist, there’s shock at the rioting on Capitol Hill. Rioting is obviously wrong. Much like protesting outside people’s homes, doxxing political opponents on social media, and the whole rest of the ugly social justice playbook. Except it’s not wrong if one side normalizes it and then acts shocked when that creates a new normal.

 

Emma Right tweet: Stop listening to MSM lies. I was there in DC. Antifa started to break windows but stops by Trump supporters.

 

Andrea Widburg contributor to American Thinker wrote:  . . .if anyone led to this uprising, it’s not Trump: It’s the establishment. It’s the media, the political class, the NeverTrumpers, the RINOS, and all the others who refuse to acknowledge that a republic cannot survive if people do not trust the political system. They are the ones who are fanning the flames higher and higher.

 

Now President-Elect, Joe Biden, who has never condemned Antifa and BLM violence and rioting said yesterday:  At  this hour, our democracy is under unprecedented assault unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times. I call on President Trump to go on national television now to fulfill his oath and defend the Constitution and demand an end to this siege. It’s not protest. It’s insurrection.

 

Senator Lindsey Graham (R- SC) tweet: I could not agree more with President-elect Biden’s statement to the nation. Time to retake the Capitol, end the violence, & stop the madness.  Time to move forward in governing our nation.  Our differences are real but the love of our nation overwhelms our differences.

 

John Marshall tweet: Liz Cheney: We just had a violent mob assault the US capitol … No question the President formed the mob, the President incited the mob, the President addressed the mob. He lit the flame.

 

President George W. Bush: I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement. The violent assault on the Capitol — and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress — was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes. Insurrection could do grave damage to our Nation and reputation.

 

Senator Kelly Loeffler  (R-GA) who lost her reelection to Democrat said: When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes. However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot now, in good conscience, object to the certification of these electors.

 

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT):  What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States.

 

Dr. Fauci, in moving the goal post yet again, predicts some semblance of normalcy by the Fall: If we then diligently vaccinate people in April, May, June, July, that we will gradually and noticeably get a degree of protection approaching herd immunity, which I believe —  first of all, no one really knows what absolute herd immunity is for coronavirus. We know what it is for measles because we have decades of experience with measles. So I would say it’s somewhere between 70% and 85%.

 

Pat McMurray for Gateway Pundit wrote: We checked it out, and the report is correct. Vice President Pence, whose political career is likely over, has unfollowed President Trump. We’ve gone through the list of accounts he follows and while Melania Trump remains on that list, President Trump is no longer on his “Following” list.

Sundance: Facebook, YouTube and Twitter Delete President Trump Tweets and Videos Urging for Calm and Peace – Control Platforms Using Alinsky Tactics

After a day of conflict and agitation within Washington DC, some of which was agitated by Antifa and far-left provocateurs (will come out in the days ahead), President Trump urged calm and peace in a Twitter message and video.  However, the social media platforms did not like that President Trump continued to challenge the Biden election win: “We had an election that was stolen from us,” the President said. You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order,” Trump said. “We don’t want anybody hurt.” “I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace,” adding: “We love you. You’re very special.”  In what can be considered a planned approach Twitter then blocked and suspended President Trump’s account: . . . Twitter went one-step further in their efforts to be the arbiters of public discourse and said they will continue to monitor the “situation in real time, including examining activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter. We will keep the public informed, including if further escalation in our enforcement approach is necessary.” Twitter also threatened to permanently suspend Donald Trump’s account: . . .

BREACH OF THE U.S. CAPITOL

 

Greenfield: Democrats Were For Riots Before They Were Against Them

Why is broken glass on Capitol Hill so much more precious than the broken glass in Kenosha? In 2018, the media was writing up glowing stories about the hundreds of Women’s March members who were engaging in “direct action” to disrupt the Senate’s Kavanaugh hearings.

Hundreds of members from the radical leftist group had invaded the hearings and were arrested. Their travel expenses and bail for the disruptions were covered by the Women’s March. Radicals from the March and other leftist groups blocked hallways, shouted down Senate members, and draped protest banners from balconies. Democrats cheered them on. When a leftist mob assailed the Supreme Court, pounding on the doors, MSNBC called it an “extraordinary moment” and praised the crowd, “besieging the Supreme Court” and “confronting senators”. “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them,” Rep. Maxine Waters had urged earlier that year. Later, the Democrat House member told MSNBC, “They’re going to absolutely harass them”. In 2020, Black Lives Matter rioters . . . Democrat House members took to proposing bills to protect the racist mobs from law enforcement. Meanwhile the BLM mob besieged the White House and battled Secret Service personnel, allegedly forcing the evacuation of President Trump and his family to a bunker. This was the new normal enthusiastically supported by Democrats and the media. […]  After a massive peaceful rally by Save America protesters, who had been addressed by President Trump, a smaller group marched on Congress. In the resulting confrontation, a number of fringe elements, . . .  […]  The outrage over the protests is a farce coming from a political movement that advocated . . .  […]  Contrary to the media’s spin, Republicans have never normalized violence. And Republican political power doesn’t depend on political terror and violence. Leftist power invariably does.

Justice; 28 Times Media And Democrats Excused Or Endorsed Violence Committed By Left-Wing Activists

Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative. On Wednesday, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. It was an astonishing display of anarchic protest that delayed congressional certification of the Electoral College vote formally handing former Vice President Joe Biden the keys to the White House. The scenes from the dark day of disaster demonstrations illustrated a deteriorating country, repulsed millions, and traumatized a nation still recovering from the death, despair, and disruption that came to define the dystopian months of 2020. Above all, what happened Wednesday served as a grim reminder that the institutional stress test of 2020 has followed us into 2021. For the left, however, the chaos at the Capitol has opened an opportunity to refute the perception they own the monopoly on widespread political violence. Democrats and left-wing media elites have already capitalized on the violent outbreak, where four people died, to characterize conservatives as the creatures of chaos. At this point, it’s undeniable that the political far-right calls home to its own Antifa-like anarchists. It is also undeniable, however, that reaction to the protests from conservative leaders roundly condemning the violence from their own side stands in remarkable contrast to the way Democrats and corporate media spent months going out of their way attempting to justify the deadly actions of militant leftists. […]  It was only seven months ago that Washington D.C. was last on fire. A trip down memory lane chronicling the left’s reaction to last year’s eruption of unrest claiming the lives of at least 30 people not only exposes the hypocrisy suffusing Democrats’ condemnation of political violence, but also illustrates a sobering reality that there’s plenty of blame to go around for the situation in which the United States now finds itself.  1. Kamala Harris Urges Followers to Cover Rioters’ Bail . . . 2. Chris Cuomo: Who Said Protests Were Supposed To Be Peaceful? . . .

McMurray: Did Antifa Infiltrate The Mob of Protesters Who Stormed The Capitol Building? [VIDEO]

Journalist Paul Sperry tweeted that about a former FBI agent on the ground at U.S. Capitol who texted him and “confirmed that at least 1 “bus load” of Antifa thugs infiltrated peaceful Trump demonstrators as part of a false Trump flag ops.” Storming buildings and creating chaos is the trademark of the violent Antifa group, so it isn’t really such a far-fetched idea, especially since non-mainstream media news outlets have been reporting about such a possibility for weeks. Eight months ago, in Nashville, TN, violent Antifa/BLM protesters set fire to this beautiful government building after they busted out the windows. Crowds of bystanders stood by and cheered. Curiously, Democrats didn’t seem to be bothered by their actions, because the violence was for a good cause…the death of George Floyd. Apparently stealing a national election doesn’t rise to the same level of concern for Democrats.

Scarborough: Facial recognition firm claims Antifa infiltrated Trump protesters who stormed Capitol

Trump supporters say that Antifa members disguised as one of them infiltrated the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday. A retired military officer told The Washington Times that the firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia Antifa members to two men inside the Senate. The source provided the photo match to The Times. One has a tattoo that indicates he is a Stalinist sympathizer. Many Antifa members promote anarchy through violence and want the end of America in favor of a Stalinist-state. “No more USA at all” is a protest chant.

XRVision also has identified another man who, while not known to have Antifa links, is someone who shows up at climate and Black Lives Matter protests in the West.

Video: Trump Supporters Stop ‘Antifa’ From Breaking Windows at Capitol

Videos taken of Trump supporters gathered at the West Front of the Capitol during Wednesday’s protest show that they stopped a person whom they believed to be an Antifa thug who was trying to break windows in the Capitol. In one of the videos, Trump supporters can be heard calling out, “Don’t break the window!” “No Antifa! No Antifa!” as several Trump supporters intervened and stopped the attack by someone dressed and acting like Antifa but with a Trump sticker on the back of their helmet. […]  A Trump supporter wearing a red MAGA hat grabs the ‘Antifa’ thug and forcibly shoves the thug away from the window as the crowd cheers.

O’Neil: 6 Other Times People Broke Into the U.S. Capitol

On Wednesday, protesters with a pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” rally broke through Capitol Police and breached the premises of the U.S. Capitol Building. Some of them even made it to the Capitol Rotunda and the Senate Floor. The U.S. Capitol has survived many invasions in the past, and it will endure through this one, as well. 1. The War of 1812 Not long after construction ended on the U.S. Capitol’s two wings in 1811, the British Army invaded Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812. British troops partially burned the Capitol on August 24, 1814. Reconstruction took about four years. 2. A bomb in the Senate

On July 2, 1915, before the U.S. entered World War I, German professor Eric Muenter exploded a bomb in the reception room of the U.S. Senate, aiming to stop American support of the Allies. The next morning, Muenter tried to assassinate J.P. Morgan, Jr., son of the financier, whose company served as Great Britain’s principal U.S. purchasing agent for munitions. He committed suicide a few days later. Ironically, Muenter’s terrorism only enflamed America’s war fever against the Germans. 3. . . .

The Senate rejected the Arizona challenge by a 93-6 vote while the House vote was 303-121, with greater than half of the GOP House conference seeking to reject the state’s electoral slate.

Lifson: Biden’s pick of Merrick Garland for AG is a clever maneuver to name and quickly confirm a hard leftist to SCOTUS

Merrick Garland was anointed as a martyr by the left/media combine when Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans blocked his appointment to the Supreme Court in the last year of the Obama administration. One might, therefore, assume that he would be Joe Biden’s choice for a seat on the highest court if and when a vacancy becomes available to fill. It takes no imagination at all to conjure up the sort of rhetoric (“righting a historic wrong”) that could be used to buffalo Republican opposition into silence, if not assent. But the people telling Biden what to do are smarter and more devious than that, and they want someone far more radical taking the next seat on the SCOTUS bench.

REBUILDING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

 

Buskirk: It’s Time For Mitch To Go

f the GOP wants to win again, they’ll reject McConnell and find younger leadership that is ready to build a new party to serve the middle class, not the ruling class. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who currently holds what I suppose we now call the Office of the Outgoing Senate Majority Leader, has to go. He’s a man unsuited for the times. The results prove it. It is McConnell who has been the architect of Republican defeat in the Senate. Heading into the 2016 election, there were 54 Republican senators. After the election there were 52. Then, in 2018, McConnell backed the disastrous candidacy of Martha McSally for an open seat in Arizona. It was McConnell who picked her and crowded out other viable candidates. That year McSally lost by 2.4 percentage points to Kyrsten Sinema while, at the same time, Republican Doug Ducey cruised to a nearly 15-point win as Arizona’s governor.  Voters didn’t reject Republicans as such; they rejected McSally. McConnell then lobbied for McSally to be appointed to the seat vacated by John McCain, setting up another McSally defeat at the hands of Mark Kelly in November. Again, she trailed the Republican at the top of ticket, underperforming Donald Trump. And once again, it was McConnell’s doing. In Arizona he helped engineer the loss of two Republican senate seats in two years by handpicking a candidate Arizonans didn’t want.

Solomon: How the GOP lost control of Washington, and what comes next

News Analysis: Democrats owned the narrative and rules of the 2020 election. Will Republicans learn from it? Now that Democrats are poised to control the White House, Senate and House, the traditional game of finger-pointing and recrimination will begin inside the GOP. The first instinct for politicians will be to assign blame, call names and jockey for position. But the 2020 election wasn’t just an election, it was a political watershed in which the rules and strategy for winning were rewritten. The November election (and Tuesday’s Georgia curtain call) wasn’t won and lost by the tactics, spending, individual players and messaging in the weeks before Nov. 3, according to interviews conducted with more than three dozen frontline players. Rather, its outcome was cemented long before Labor Day 2020 by a Democratic machinery of former Barack Obama proteges, like David Plouffe, John Podesta, David Axelrod and Stacy Abrams, who worried far less about the tactics of ads, travel (Joe Biden hardly did!) and fundraising and far more about the strategy of how to control the narrative and the rules that would shape the outcome. They even told the Republicans and the public what they planned to do. Just read Plouffe’s book, “A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump.” They even boastfully predicted days before how the vote count would roll out on election night and for several days later. Trump would lead early, and Biden would surpass late, they said. They were right. Why?

Slaughter: Conservatives, remember who you are

I’m disgusted that it’s taken breaking into the Capitol for the Democrats to see what we’re capable of. It’s sickening that conservatives have allowed ourselves to be so complacent and quiet for so long that all of a sudden we jump to the extreme of violence to show how we feel. I’m proud that people are finally standing up for truth, but refuse to condone the violence they’re causing, the very violence we condemn Democrats for. Despite my conflicting emotions, I am and always will be, a conservative. I will always stand for what is right, defend the truth to the death if necessary, and fight for the rights guaranteed to Americans- both born and unborn, in the Constitution. I will not bend, break, or falter in my beliefs or allow the Left to brainwash me into something I’m not. Intimidation tactics and fear will not prevail. I have seen so many posts today saying how disappointed people are in conservatives or how it’s a sad day to be a Republican. I’m disappointed that people have taken the protest too far, and I’m disappointed we haven’t stood up to the government before this, but I’m not going to attack the conservative movement as a whole, we are stronger than that.

WHO WILL BE NEXT?

 

Hinderaker: THE LEFT CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM

Cleta Mitchell is the top political and non-profit lawyer on the right. For quite a few years, she has been a partner in Foley & Lardner, a major national law firm that originated in Milwaukee. In recent years, she has been attacked and lied about repeatedly by the Left. This reached a crescendo over the last few days, following the leaked telephone conversation between President Trump and Georgia’s Secretary of State, in which she was participated on behalf of the president. The Left mounted a vicious campaign against Cleta, her law firm and her firm’s clients, not accusing her of any wrongdoing other than having the temerity to give advice to the President of the United States. Yesterday, in an email to clients and friends, Cleta announced her departure from Foley & Lardner. I am reproducing the email with her permission: . . . […] . . . the extent to which the far Left has been successful in banning conservatives from mainstream businesses and institutions is chilling. One can contrast Cleta Mitchell’s situation with that of Marc Elias, a partner in the Perkins Coie law firm, originally from Seattle. Perkins Coie is comparable to Foley & Lardner in size and stature. Elias is the Democrats’ top election lawyer, and he has played a controversial role in his representations of the Democratic National Committee and Democratic campaigns. In particular, it was Elias and Perkins Coie who laundered money from the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign, falsely recording it as legal expenses in FEC filings when in fact the money was used by Elias to hire the disreputable opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which in turn paid Christopher Steele to fabricate the Russia collusion hoax. Here, Elias played the role of a bagman  . . .

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S WAR ON CHRISTIANITY

 

Whitmer Mocks Christians With Stacey Abrams Prayer Candle: ‘Offensive As Hell’

The tweet sparked thousands of reactions, including from Christians highlighting Whitmer’s apparent fervent faith of Leftism and seeming mockery of Christians, particularly Catholics who often use prayer candles.

“Good morning!” Whitmer captioned the post. “This from the group that voted God out of their party a decade ago…,” noted activist JT Lewis.

Lt. Col. Grossman: Masks Can Be Murder

Wearing masks can create a sense of anonymity for an aggressor, while also dehumanizing the victim. This prevents empathy, empowering violence, and murder. So that you know my bona fides, I wrote the book On Killing and created a new field of scholarly endeavor known as “killology” to understand and reduce violence in our society. Criminology is not about teaching people to be criminals, and killology is not about teaching people to kill. It is about understanding the factors that empower and restrain killing in our society. […]  Every time one person interacts with another there is a “friction point” adding up to billions of friction points every day. An amazing array of social, physical, psychological, and physiological factors provide a “lubricant” for each of these friction points, to prevent physical violence and murder.

Masks are like a handful of sand in an automobile engine, increasing the “friction” at . . . Every. Single. One. Of these billions of daily contact points. We understand that people will say things online that they would never say face-to-face. Masks create a similar sense of anonymity for the aggressor, empowering interpersonal violence, and hostility across our nation.

Congress/Electoral vote

Congress/Electoral vote  2 days till Congress meets to decide on the Electoral vote.

 

At this point there are several Senators and Reps who have said they plan to challenge the results. THIS IS totally within the rules of the US Constitution – just most of us have not heard of or cared enough to pay attention to how a Constitutional Republic [which is what these United States of America IS, we are not and never have been a democracy ] actually there are still LEGAL gambits left in the process…. We just need to ride this out for a few more weeks.

 

Regardless of who is sworn in on Jan 20th – a good share of our citizens will be happy AND a good share will be sad.  And some will just not care either way.

 

Things to do on Monday or Tuesday of this week prior to Congress meeting on the 6th.

 

Get last minute stuff as if there were a blizzard happening on Wednesday,

 

Top off your vehicle fuel tanks – should always drive on the top 1/3 of the tank anyway.

Get last minute milk, bread and other perishables – and any canned goods you still need.

Review your family communication plans and make sure ALL of your devices are charged AND that you have a way to charge things if the grid goes down.

Do whatever you do for a winter storm.

Count down to Christmas 2020

 

4 days to Christmas!

 

Last minute stocking stuffers…

 

A high carbon wood rasp that has 4 patterns on it… at Walmart they are about 6-7 dollars… this will be used as a wood shaper AND with a sharp quartz rock to start fires with char cloth.

 

There are several package deals of knives, other tools ect .. on sale right now [or you can take your chances and get something for half price typically after Christmas.

 

Sawyer water filters would be a great idea. They have the advantage of being able to directly connect with 2 L coke bottles.

 

Another idea is food storage items OR camp cooking items..

Well the Electoral College is voting today… it CAN go either way, but will most likely go toward Harris/Biden.   Once again half the country will be happy and the other half will be pissed….   Is it OVER so we can move on with our lives after today?

 

Nope!!   The next step is Congress has to vote [on Jan 6th] on whether or not to accept this determination…  If they vote NO, then it moves on to the next step which is the House picks the President and the Senate picks the Vice President….  Who will be sworn in on Jan 20th….

 

While we wait…regardless of which ‘side’ you are on… continue to improve your situation.  Organize your home. Learn things. Get to know those who live near you.

How to train toddlers in preparedness

How to train toddlers in preparedness

As I sit here cutting out memory games for church, I got to thinking that this is a good way to teach toddlers just about anything that you have pictures for. For example you could teach herbs, animals, fish, tools, prep supplies, cooking tools, etc.

All you need is a picture of an item and of course make 2 of them so the toddlers can match them, and write the name of the picture on it so that they get use to how the name looks and then when they match the items say what it is a few times. After that, they will tell YOU what it is. I would keep the cards to certain categories, like all animals or all herbs, etc. You could even put a front and back of the same item (for example an animal so the child would know it from either direction) on different squares for older toddlers or children to match. You could put a picture of an animal and its tracks/or poop [aka scat] for the older toddlers and children to match – this would work for adults who don’t know the information too.

Take card stock and draw 3” X 2” squares and draw or cut out printed pictures and place within the 3” X 2” space. After you make copies and cut the squares out you can either use as is or if you want to use for a long period of time like through multiple children, then take clear shelf paper and laminate them on both sides.

You can also do step training by using the same type cards. Use the same 3”X 2” cards and draw or cut out anywhere from 2-5 steps and what the process would look like in each step. These could be how to turn the water main off, what to do if you smell smoke in the house or how to change the batteries in your flashlight. As your toddler gets older you could add more steps like how build a fire or how to put up a tent. You only have to have 1 copy of each using this game.

So instead of matching just 2 cards you would have to match in order 3 or more. Cut the squares out and either use as is or laminate them for longer use.

You may want to consider putting a laminated copy of the whole procedure into your emergency binder and near the equipment too so that others will know what to do if you are not available.

Thanksgiving 2020

from a friend….

This year marks the 400th Anniversary of the Mayflower’s landing at Plymouth.  We believe our first President, George Washington may have said it best with his October 3, 1789 Proclamation:

Thanksgiving Proclamation

[New York, 3 October 1789]

By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Go: Washington

In your journal consider including those things and people you are thankful for…..

slow roasted turkey 2020

one week counting down to Thanksgiving!!

 

slow roasted turkey

I have used this fashion of roasting turkeys for many years. It consistently produces fall off the bone moist turkey every time AND it is hard to over cook or burn it. ;]

Preplanning the feast. Start a few days ahead of when you plan to have your turkey / meal. How big is your turkey? For this discussion we will say that it weighs 20 pounds and is still in the deep freeze. Do you have a roasting pan that will comfortably hold the turkey? Assemble everything that you need for the meal. Write down everything that you are missing and go buy it.

A day or 2 before the meal bake whatever pies you want. The day before make the bread, I would suggest Ezekiel bread. 21 hours before you plan on sitting down for the meal take the turkey out of the freezer. Dice 2 or 3 large onions and make a bed in the roaster pan for the turkey. Release the turkey from the wrapping while it is still frozen and put it on the bed of onions. Coat the turkey with olive oil apply seasonings which will follow. Add 1 cup of water to the pan. Cover & place into the oven. Set your oven to 200 degrees F [no preheating required] set an alarm for 20 hours from starting the oven. Here is the hard part…. Leave it alone, no peaking!

By taking the bird straight from the freezer and cooking it this way germs do not have time to multiply as the turkey spends very little time in the danger zone of 40 – 140 degrees F.

At the end of the 20 hours [1 hour per pound at 200 degrees F] remove the cover and turn the heat up to 350 degrees to brown your turkey. Carve and serve.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE RUB
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage (crumbled between your fingers)
• 2 teaspoons coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
+++
One year the stores had whole turkeys 20 pounds for $5.00— that year we put up [canned] 150 pounds of turkey [after skinning and deboning] .
What are your recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals?

Election report 2020

Election report 2020

 

 

Well, as I type this on Veteran’s Day, the election has NOT been declared one way nor the other. NONE of the states have CERTIFIED the votes. YET.  The media can call it anyway that they want BUT that is NOT the legal determination. The media does not have the legal power to decide.

 

Remember back in 2000 Bush V Gore? Recounts, hanging chads, court involvement and all that stuff. It does not matter which side of the issue anyone is on for this discussion. Half of the population will be happy and the rest not so much. There is going to be recounts and court challenges for the next month ish…. THEN on December 14th [this time- there is a formula to figure it out during other elections] the electoral college votes and they will pick who will be presented to Congress to vote for on January 6th. This happens EVERY time there is a presidential election, NOT just this time.

 

THE most important issue to be protected is the perception by the American public that the process can be trusted. Right now many don’t trust the system. Time will tell as to the results of the election and what happens over the next year or so.

 

Interesting how many places have had riots most nights for the last several months [Portland OR for example] and this last week strangely silent. Kinda like the calm before a big storm. Regardless of how the process outlined above shakes out it would be best to be ready to shelter in place and have what you will need to limit the times you have to go out in public.

 

The jury is still out ref the Human Malware Program-19 .  Regardless of what the reality is, during the winter or cold months, there are things we should ALL be doing. WASH your hands often, cover your coughs, PROPER use of PPE [personal protective equipment]  AND if you are sick STAY home and away from others. Talk with YOUR healthcare provider about your specific concerns.

 

Stores are starting to limit how much of each product you can buy AGAIN due to current shortages. HUMMMm    guess we ALL should have been stocking up  RIGHT?

 

Paper towels, TP for example. So far I have not heard of limits on food YET.  BUT there are shortages of SOME foods already or is it still?  I would make sure that you have shelf stable foods to last for a LONG blizzard, read back over what we have discussed the last several years. Talk with you healthcare provider about what medications you need to have on hand. There are entries which suggest areas for discussion with your healthcare provider. One thing is for sure… prices on everything are going up.

 

What are your thoughts and concerns during the current times??  Post them in the comments section below.

Veteran’s Day 2020

Yesterday was the birthday of the USMC – 1775-11-10

We intentionally are combining that with Veteran’s Day this year.

This date in history… the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 was the last day of World War One…… This was actually before we had to start numbering them. Back then it was simply the Great [meaning BIG] War aka the War to end wars… How sadly wrong they ended up being…

 

Commemorated in many countries as Armistice Day the following year, November 11th became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became known as Veterans Day.

 

On this day and every day please remember and pray for OUR troops deployed or at home. Past, present and future! Keep in mind that their family supported their service.

 

PLEASE, be the kind of Americans who are worthy of the sacrifices….

To our brothers and sisters in arms….   Remember your oath….
