The Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church stated that Russia is in a holy war with the godless west. This is what our government has gotten us into by poking the bear. The Russian people are united against the west. These are no desert warriors in sandals. And we didn't beat them either, we just made generational enemies. I pray that the new Congress can stop the money to this proxy war. Zelenskyy is apparently appearing on the Golden Globes, perhaps they are going to fete him for his high heel dancing in gay videos. That should inspire those Russian in their holy war.
Tim adds:
He also said the sins of fallen soldiers are forgiven if they die in the Holy War.
Now, the Patriarch is under the thumb of the civil authorities in Russia in ways we in the West do not understand. And while Ukraine was Orthodox, they split with the Russians recently because of this pro-Russian warmongering. And Putin has less than spiritual aims.
But there is a point here. If the Russian People really believe this they will fight to the bitter end. Maybe. If.
One thing is clear; Russia is not just going to roll over for Joe Biden. And at some point Putin will feel cornered and when he lashes out it will be terrible.
This war was so unnecessary. But it was an example of American politicians meddling with forces they didn't understand and taking advantage in a place where things could get really dangerous really quickly.
Oh, and the Patriarch is right in resisting Western decadence and the vile ideas coming from Babylon on the Potomac.

The Democrats on the J6 Committee doxxed Republicans and their families releasing their social security numbers.
When will the GOP fight back in kind? Two can play at that game. Of course the GOP will do nothing but maybe hold a few hearings. There will be no action taken against the Donkeys - neither legal nor reprisal.
We are in an asymmetric war. They are at war, we are playing nice.

They'll have us cooking with buffalo chips before they are through. And their justification? Some children have asthma and it MIGHT be bad for them!
Biden administration weighs nationwide ban on gas stoves: report
Electric stoves suck. It's always too low or too high; you can't regulate the temperature properly.
My mother had one when we were growing up and she eventually had it removed (it was a built-in) and replaced it with gas. So very much better.
Why is it any of government's business what we cook on? It's part of the war on fossil fuels.

My dear departed mother used to say that with so many things in life you start off being nice, then have to move to terse, then have to turn downright ugly, be a real horse's hindquarters, to get any results. She was right.
I remember a sci-fi story by I think Phillip K. Dick in which he postulated "the law of maximum irritation"; the hero of the story discussed life, and said it was caused by irritation; his boots just walked away on a very hot day. Maybe a touch of comic relief, but he did have a fundamental point down - the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Now I don't like to squeak, or get downright nasty either, but I had to last night.
I'm normally a big fan of the Auto Club. They've pulled me out of innumerable scrapes, and even come and hauled me out at the Ozark Hilton, for crying out loud! I know; it's the tow drivers, not the company itself. But the company did a great job of hiring contractors as well as their own staff.
Can't say that about last night.
I had to take my dad to Mercy hospital yesterday for his skin cancer followup (he's o.k. but had some pre-cancer they had to burn away). I took him home and stayed as long as I dared - with my bad vision I find night driving dangerous. At any rate I had plenty of time when I left.
$$^%^ flat tire!
Dad has a gas station two blocks from his house, so I limped on there and filled the tire. Made it ALMOST home when thunk! Thunk! Thunk! and there was no way I was going to make it home. I headed for the BP station a few blocks away.
Blast it; their air hose had a sign "out of order - sorry" as if that was the slightest consolation!
Now it was completely dark and I didn't think I would have much luck getting that tire off. I didn't; the lug nuts wouldn't budge, and my tire-iron wouldn't hold on the nuts. Clearly it was more a tired iron.
So I called AAA. It was about quarter to five thirty.
I received a text message "Your estimated time is 7:30".
Drat. Oh, well.
About 7:15 I received another message; "your estimated service time is 8:45".
8:15 rolls around and "your estimated time of service is 9:45".
"Your estimated time of service is 10:15"
I called. "we're very busy sir. Someone will be with you as soon as they can.
Now, I am a diabetic and hadn't eaten since 11 that morning. And I hadn't had any water despite a great need as I take lasix and can get dehydrated.
So I sat and waited and watched the cars come and go from the gas station lot (it's a small station and I was not in any sort of parking spot - just kind of stuck out there.
I called again "we're very busy sir. Your driver has one customer ahead of you."
"Your service should arrive by 1050."
"Your service should arrive by 11:51"
I called again;
"We're very busy sir. You are next in line.
Then the coup de grace:
"Your estimated service time will be 4:53 a.m."
I had been sitting in my pickup for going on five hours at this point and they were saying at least five hours more!
I don't know if you have ever seen a conniption, but I am sure it wasn't pretty. My head rotated 360* like Linda Blair's did in The Exorcist. A torrent of foamy spittle began flooding from my white lips. I began speaking a strange language, one never heard by human ears. Powers and Principalities trembled before me.
I called AAA and got a guy "we're very busy sir"
"I don't care how ^%^%# busy you are. I don't care if it's the bleeding Apocalypse. You are going to get a service truck out here with the next half hour.
He didn't like that "You don't tell me what I'm going to do!"
I really don't blame him for getting angry at me; I was beyond rational thought. Oddly enough though that calmed me a fraction.
"I want a supervisor".
He put me on hold too long and I had to hang up and call back.
I imagine they had to find her in some dusty obscure storage room, stashed behind the toner and spare printing paper. At any rate they put on Sweet Voice, a girl (and that's what she sounded like) who would melt butter in your mouth.
"I'm sorry sir, we've been very busy."
"Here is what is going to happen" I responded "I am going to wait one half hour and if you don't show up I'll have to drive home on the flat. YOU are going to pay for a new tire, a new rim, and for any damages done to my vehicle.
"Don't do that. Why don't you just go in your house?"
My blood boiled. "I told you people when I called I'm at a gas station!"
"Oh, well don't you have someone who could come get you?"
I yanked out a massive tuft of hair
"I can't leave the vehicle here, and no I don't!"
"Oh."
She promised to get someone out soon.
Within minutes the towing company called and swore a man would be there in half an hour - exactly as I demanded. He was there in 20 minutes and I was on my way home.
I have little doubt I would still be sitting in my truck waiting as of this moment had I not gone all Medieval on them. They were triaging me and mistakenly thought I was at home.
I hate getting that way and I do regret yelling at their agents - especially the guy, who had every right to think I was a real jerk. But that was just unacceptable.
AAA got rid of their own drivers and now contracts everything out, I am given to understand. Shortages are what happen when you do things like that. Now I could understand it if it were bitterly cold or very snowy, but it was pretty warm for January last night (high 40's) and there just was no excuse for such slow service - especially since I've been a member since the 1980's and have a Gold membership.
At any rate the whole point of this ridiculously long screed is to say that while AAA has done me right over the years I fear they are slipping. I may have to rethink my association with them.
Or I could just get better and screaming.

The United States today stands as a living contradiction to the ‘great man theory of history’. For the US is a great country led by small minds. In recent times, it has been ruled by a narcissistic moral reprobate and it is now being run by a cognitively deficient and scandal-plagued politician. There is a growing feeling, particularly among the young, that today’s America is diminished. Yet the US remains the world’s premier power, and its last best hope against a rising authoritarian tide.
So, how does an America led by mediocrities succeed? The secret sauce lies in two great assets – America’s geography and its constitution.
America enjoys an enormous expanse of arable land, the largest in the world, bigger than that of Russia and Ukraine combined, and nearly 100million acres more than China. It is not only by far the largest food exporter in the world, but it also leads all countries, including Russia and Saudi Arabia, in the production of fossil fuels, which are now being consumed more than ever. And not to be overlooked are America’s vast reserves of fresh water, the third largest on the planet.
These assets separate America from its largest rivals. Neither China nor Europe has adequate domestic energy supplies, making both ever reliant, like Tennessee Williams’ Blanche DuBois, on the ‘kindness of strangers’. Shortages and high prices are already hammering Germany’s industrial economy, from its dynamic mid-sized firms to the giants of its chemicals industry, despite the German government spending a massive half-a-trillion dollars on energy subsidies. Europe is now desperately firing up coal plants and reconsidering nuclear energy, but in the near-term its energy salvation will most likely lie in the oil fields of the Permian basin and other hotbeds of US energy production.
[...]
Yet perhaps even more than nature’s gifts, America’s greatest asset may lie in its centuries-old constitutional order. This is very different to the much ballyhooed, bureaucratic ‘rules-based’ system so attractive to Eurocrats and their American admirers. In Europe, decisions are based on the political fashions of the moment. Only a bureaucracy in thrall to green ideology, for instance, could have ignored all the warning signs of the current energy crisis and placed ever more bets on unreliable wind and solar in the name of stopping climate change – even while China, by far the world’s biggest emitter of CO2, is building more coal plants to power its homes and industries. Today, coal is now being consumed more than at any time in history.
Although it looks less ‘professional’ than the Brussels bureaucracy, the US’s constitutionally directed democratic governance has survived other chaotic periods like this one. As bad as our leaders may be, they are fortunately not omnipotent. In contrast, while unencumbered leaders can at times make enormous strides in catching up with more advanced countries, they almost always fail in the long run – bad news for Xi and Putin.
These lessons have still not been learned in academia and the media, which continue the old Western intellectual habit, visible in the 1930s and again in the 1960s, of eulogising foreign despotisms. For years now, many have regarded the ascendency of China’s ‘stronger government’ model as inevitable. Yet now, even China’s supreme leader admits its growth will be slowing and that surpassing the US in the medium term is no longer assured.
I hope this has whetted your appetite for the entire article, found here: https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/01/08/america-a-nation-of-giants-led-by-pygmies/

This guy is a 1980s equivalent to a go-fund-me quack. Venus is only 900F compared to 57F but in absolute terms it's only 4 times hotter. Based on Venus 90 TIMES MORE CO2 concentrations, but he doesn't say 1 day on Venus is 243 earth days (meaning convective heat transfer dominates radiative much more than here), venus has 75 TIMES atmospheric density (no way for radiation to escape planet), and is 2/3rds the distance from the sun (exponentially increasing energy going into system). This basically gives venus no way to release energy compared to ours. Our hubris knows no bounds to think we can control a planet 1 or 2 degree Kelvin... which is a very miniscule amount in absolute temp (1/3 of 1% of our planets temp) by controlling the tiniest fraction of 1 greenhouse gas. The sun could fart the wrong way for a decade and do +/- 20 times this. Did you know oxygen and nitrogen are 1000s of times more effective at heating our planet because there's 10s of 1000s more O2 & N2 molecules? EVERY molecule is a greenhouse gas when you have enough of them. A gigantic hack trying to talk over everyone's heads for his own gains

For those wondering what the 20 holdout Congressmen negotiated as part of their agreement to support Speaker McCarthy, here is a short list of some of their objectives.
It will only take a single congressperson,
A "Church” style committee will be convened to look into the weaponization of the FBI and other government organizations (presumably the CIA, the subject of the original Church Committee) against the American people.
Term limits will be put up for a vote.
Bills presented to Congress will be single subject, not omnibus with all the attendant earmarks, and there will be a 72-hour minimum period to read them.
The Texas Border Plan will be put before
Congress. From The Hill: "The four-pronged plan aims to ‘Complete
Physical Border Infrastructure,
Covid mandates will be ended, including "so called" emergency funding.
Budget Bills would stop the endless increases in the debt ceiling and hold the Senate accountable for the same.
Anyone see reasons to not support this?

The former Chief of the Capitol Police was on The Wilkow Majority yesterday. He has written a book about January 6th. He outlines what he saw and experienced. He answered question that the MSM declared lies and misinformation.
He spent hours testifying before the January 6th Committee. Yet, they didn't use 1 second of his testimony.
There are 4 people tasked with Capitol security. The Seargant of Arms of the Senate, The Seargant of Arms of the House, and the Chief of the Capitol Police. All three answer to ONE person. The Speaker of the House. That was Nancy Pelosi.
He has text messages to Nancy Pelosi to back his claim that he requested the National Guard 6 times. All 6 times Pelosi denied the request.
After January 6th the Chief of the Capitol Police was relieved of his duty.

This was from a speech by Sen. James Hillhouse after the passing of the 12th Amendment and the "democratic Presidency":
"Of the impropriety and impolicy of the present mode of electing a President, can there be stronger proof, can there be more convincing evidence, than is now exhibited in the United States? In whatever direction we turn our eyes, we behold the people arranging themselves for the purpose of commencing the electioneering campaign for the next President and Vice President. All the passions and feelings of the human heart are brought into the most active operation. The electioneering spirit finds its way to every fireside; pervades our domestic circles, and threatens to destroy the enjoyment of social harmony. The seeds of discord will be sown in families, among friends, and throughout the whole community. In saying this, I do not mean anything to the disadvantage of either of the candidates. They may have no agency in the business. They may be the involuntary objects of such competition, without the power of directing or controlling the storm. The fault is in the mode of election, in setting the people to choose a king. In fact, a popular election, and the exercise of such powers and prerogatives as are by the Constitution vested in the President, are incompatible. The evil is increasing and will increase, until it shall terminate in civil war and despotism. The people, suffering under the scourge of party feuds and factions, and finding no refuge under the State, any more than in the General government, from party persecution and oppression, may become impatient, and submit to the first tyrant who can protect them against the thousand tyrants."
—James Hillhouse, Speech to the Senate on Presidential Power, 1804.

I have some shocking news about climate change in Europe.
We are now in January 2023, and we are seeing temperatures above zero in many Eastern European nations that are used to freezing conditions at this time of year.
And we are told that this is clear indication of a general trend towards warmer winters for the region.
A year ago in 2022, Poland and the Czech Republic saw temperatures fall as low as -28°C.
So, what we are seeing is a rise in temperatures of over 30°C year on year.
If this trend continues then by the end of the decade we should expect to see winter temperatures of over 200°C.
With at least 2000°C by the end of the century.
This year people may be worried that the snow has turned to slush.
But in 100 years most Alpine ski resorts will be melted into a sea of boiling lava.
Heavy snowfall and extreme cold sweeps over Europe

I have been watching the old summer show "Under the Dome" and there was the best line in all of television history in one episode.
Just a couple of people are left unaffected by the dome aliens, and two of them were watching as meteor fireballs fell onto the beleaguered Earth.

Julia "Maybe the meteors scared him."

Consequences for Children: Data So Far By Justin Hart.
Lockdowns resulted in a 10-20% increase in new cases of severe child abuse and a 50-80% increase in fatalities from child abuse, caused a 30-50% increase in cases of malnutrition and a 50-100% increase in fatalities from malnutrition, and resulted in a 40-60% increase in new cases of mental illness in children and adolescents and a 100-200% increase in suicides by young people.

On Facebook a girl named Allison Lundt observed:
McCarthy voted for the J6 committee
Voted for the insane Ukraine spending spree 100B…..
Same sex marriages
Vax mandates for military
To use Medicare to fund USPS
Amnesty for DACA
Drafting of women ….. and more. I’ll get you the list , if you want.
So, no he would not be my choice. He’s right on board with the lefts crazy spending sprees, as well as lobbying for other things , not good for America.
As I stated before, Jim Jordan could be drafted, he’s already humble. I gave you my reasons, he’s trustworthy , actually for , we the people , willing to fight against the insanity of the left’s agendas .
When most of the Bush backers , fox commentators & others in the swamp, keep trying to make the dissenters feel guilty & just come on, vote him in….. big red flags to me.
Don’t worry though, seems they’re working on the 20 , that actually want someone accountable, trustworthy, and again, for , we the people. So he’ll probably get the spot he so desperately wants.
Hillary Hinckle adds:
We will lose anyway, if this is any indication of the GOP we will have for 2 more years. The lack of GOP proper response to the election of 2020 created a split that cannot heal. And yes, it is still all about TRUMP! Trump haters, now a majority of the R House can & will push through McC and settle for the norm GOP uniparty bend over & take "what the Dems dish" party.. Trump got dumped by even the most loyal in far too many cases (as noted by all your comments & other's replies). Far too many see Trump as damaged goods that you all say cannot be repaired, & could never do what he did before again.
I am actually enjoying the RESIST MC C group. And I like that it shows MCC how shaky the ground he's on in this future House. Wrong man for a job to unify & get the votes. I do think he will get in anyway b/c the Nevers & RINOS, the indies, MEDIA, Biden, Dems derision, are the loudest voices now.
What I hear is MAGA
Tim adds:
Bravo Hillary! Very well said! I think this fight is healthy for the GOP, frankly, and it's entertaining besides. The Republican leadership needs a sword of damoclese hanging over it's head. And as you say so much of this is about purging the GOP of the MAGA wing and getting back to "business as usual" meaning screwing the American People and enriching themselves. It is a reassertion of the Establishment. Sad that so many of the GOP are on board with this. I greatly respect Sherrie but she's dead wrong on this issue. She's siding with the media and the Democrats here.And this is not going to hurt the GOP in two years; most of the public won't remember it.

Many people don't know that Vladimir Putin allowed some Russian bloggers to be "embedded" with the Russian Army in Ukraine, much like Western countries embed journalists with its field armies (thinking the Russian Army would blitzkrieg its way through the Ukrainians, and the bloggers would provide him with a steady stream of pro-Russian, pro-war media content of the army's brilliant campaign). But lately, the pro-war bloggers have been contradicting the official Kremlin media accounts of the war. For example, the state-controlled media (which is all of the Russian media, at this point) reported 63 soldiers were killed in the New Year's Eve missile attack by Ukraine on a Russian barracks at Makiivka, then later changed that to 89 casualties. But even pro-Putin Russian bloggers are disputing that, with some of them reporting up to EIGHT HUNDRED casualties (killed and wounded), and calling for punishment for incompetent Russian field commanders. Embarrassing! Meanwhile, some 500 Russian troops were also killed in Kherson and Crimea by New Year's Eve missile attacks on Russian positions.

I agree with most of what Richard says here, but Carter was a self-aggrandizing ass. He lied about being a "nuclear physicist". He was often abusive to his staff. He infuriated the Democrats in Congress, leading House Speaker Tip O'Neal to say of him "they (the Administration) came in like pricks and they went out the same way." In private he used foul language pretty regularly. When the Shah of Iran called during the Revolution Carter was informed and said "F$#k the Shah!" He was smug and sanctimonious.
Couple that with his horrible management and people skills and you had - the worst President in American history (except maybe Obama, who was a capaable enough fellow which is what could have made him worse.)
Anyway, this from Richard Cronin:
We have the most decent, loyal patriotic Americans in law enforcement and specifically the lower ranks of the FBI. More to the point, the FBI is the Praetorian Guard of the Republic. The Praetorian Guard was duty bound to the Emperor but in fact they were enmeshed in imperial succession. Emperors not to their liking were deposed.
Former FBI deputy director William Mark Felt broke his 30-year silence and confirmed in 2005 that he was "Deep Throat,” the anonymous government source who helped take down President Nixon in the Watergate scandal.
If you know someone in the FBI who is concerned about Washington’s palace intrigues and the fact that patriotic Americans can be tagged and silenced as "domestic terrorists”, ask them to ponder our current condition under the leadership of Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray.
FBI whistleblowers who have stepped forward have been picked off
one-by-one. The mainstream media will not carry the stories of
individual whistleblowers.
The response must be en masse. Rank and file. Yes, I know, easier said than done.
I’ve even thought about Jimmy Carter , arguably one of the most decent, religious men to ever sit in the White House but a total train wreck as a President. Of course, both President Carter and I share our time in Habitat for Humanity, from different quarters.
I’ve pondered my own studies in Earth and planetary sciences and am ever so aware of the magnificence of God’s Design. The Lord gave his Covenant that there would never be another Great Flood. Take Him at His Word. The sea level is just fine. Water is retained in polar ice caps and mountain top glaciers. Rain on the land recharges aquifers, plant life grows, root systems grow out to stabilize the soil and retain ground water.
We can only serve one Master. God’s Laws trump Man’s Laws. I wish that I could speak with President Carter for only an hour or so. Maybe we’d even resurrect the Great Plains Coal Gasification project.
Something not well known is that Pontius Pilate was a Praetorian. He served as the number 2 guy to a man named Sejanus, who went on to become co-emperor under Tiberius and promoted Pilate along. Tiberius, like all Roman political critters, had to be very suspicious, and he came to suspect Sejanus. He had him murdered, his whole murdered, and issued a hit list on Sejanus' people.
Pilate didn't go down with him, but it was at that moment in time that a 33 year old Jew who claimed to be King was brought before him for judgment. Pilate wanted to let the man go, but when the crowd said "we have no king but Caesar" they were threatening to go to Caesar and Pilate wold probably wind up headless. So he handed Jesus over to be crucified.
Just a couple of years later there was an uprising in Samaria and Pilate had to put it down hard. There were complaints to Caesar and he was recalled (no doubt to face his doom). Tiberius died while Pilate was en-route and Gaius Caligula offered a general amnesty, so Pilate survived. He stayed in Rome where his wife became a Christian and is one of the founders of the Roman church. She is a saint to both Catholics and Orthodox (and Pilate is a saint to the Coptic as well as Ethiopian churches for his legal defense of Jesus, which he gave in accordance with Roman law at the time.

The story isn't that there are some insurgents in the Republican House, the story is that McCarthy doesn't have the votes.
Have seen nothing out of McCarthy about plans or platforms or list of objectives. Just monitoring who gets to wiggle up to the DC trough. When they threw away their only leverage by signing the 1.7 billion dem wish list and massive tax and spend and military industrial complex bill in the lame duck, McCarthy clearly was going to do nothing and then hand the gavel back to the Dems in 2024.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING!
For several decades, representatives
This literally creates a situation of TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION,
"Regular order” requires the budget to be made available in july, to be voted on in September, or something like that. That allows for floor debate and amendment.
For months, the house freedom caucus has been trying to work out agreement with McCarthy on six specific badly needed procedural points, including a return to "regular order”. McCarthy refused to even meet with them — he believed he could run over them and get the Speakership, anyway, without agreeing to anything, because he has the backing of big money lobbyists and he thought that enough of the others in the House were on the payroll of the lobbyists to get him through.
He failed!
Nothing may come of it, but the 20 holdouts have at least given us some hope that we may possibly be able to get some representation in our government, again, after about 30 years with none!

At least go to the end of the article and read "evidenced conclusions".
This is why federal authorities have converged on Hamlin’s hospital – to control the narrative and fallout from an unavoidable injury, a likely permanent and significant disability, and a potential death that was likely caused by cardiac arrest induced by COVID-19 vaccination. Moreover, here is a table of other children and adults in their health and athletic primes that faced the same or similar cardiac outcome as Hamlin. It all makes the disinformation being proffered about commotio cortis as the likely cause of Hamlin’s cardiac arrest absolute garbage and I’m going to entirely eviscerate that nonsense in the rest of this article; and definitively if not authoritatively so."
