- Snow Dusting last Night
-
Yeah, the much anticipated snow was pretty much a dusting and we have enjoyed the mess as an interlude in the winter cold — which has had a bit of a bite to it.
Mom arose and watched it from her kitchen and sipped her coffee.
I trudged through it a little to get back and forth from my house to hers.
All in all it was interesting but certainly nothing I would call spectacular.
Something about the weatherman's description and the actual event was lost in the translation.
Happy snow day anyway !

- Dance of the Seven Veils Day 2025
-
One of the earliest Bible stories I encountered in my childhood was the murder of John the Baptist by Herod Antipas.
The king ordered The Baptist beheaded after being influenced by his wife Herodias and her daughter Salomé.
The Dance of the Seven Veils was performed by Salomé.
It is a Middle-Eastern dance similar to belly dancing.
The performer typically wears a bikini top, pantaloons, bracelets, anklets, rings, and sometimes, a pair of finger cymbals. Scarves are also prominent in the dance routine.
Herod was so taken by Salomé doing the dance he promised her whatever she wanted. She in return requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
The Romano-Jewish historian Josephus named her as the reason John The Bapist was murdered, but he does not mention the dance.
Regardless, John is in Heaven, Herod, Herodias and Salomé are accountable to the One True God, whose name is "I Am" and not "I was".

- Squirrel Appreciation Day 2025
-
Yeah, I cohabitate with quite a squirrel population. In my yard I have about 20 or so gray squirrels who think they own the pine and oak trees and they pretty much stay away from my house and out of my hair otherwise.
To reward them for abstaining from nesting in my attic I give them segments of bread loaves and they can be seen ferrying them up the side of the trees in which they live. I add peanuts and other things to this and hopefully we will endure each other as best we can.
I used to take a much more heavy handed approach to them, until my best friend, Sam chastised me roundly and called me cruel. So now I don't catch or hurt them in any way. They still exhibit a lot of fear of me nonetheless.
Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. It is held each January 21st under the auspices of Ashville wildlife rehabilitation specialist one Christy Hargrove.
It is a day "to learn about and celebrate the world’s cutest rodents".
These animals have been introduced to various areas in the country to promote interest and this has given rise to accusations of "invasive species" and have caused some vitriol among various people who live here.
I have attempted to locate and import red and black fox squirrels to no avail. Perhaps my reputation preceeds me.
So despite our best efforts, the imported squirrel exists in our midst and I personally believe they are here to stay.

- Trump/Vance Inauguration 2025
-
The inauguration of Donald Trump and J D Vance has finally arrived.
We will now jettison the incompetent, unscrupulous, and immoral embarassment to the nation Joseph Biden who defecates upon himself before heads of state — as well as his crime family who is an enemy of the state yet nobody has taken him and his dirtbag wife, son, and brothers to GITMO where they deserve to be placed on bread and water for the rest of their miserable felonious lives.
The event will include a performance artist and will take place in the Capitol Rotunda due to cold weather forecasts.
The inauguration was today, with the swearing-in ceremony expected having been completed.
I arose at 4 am this morning from the excitement associated with anticipation of the ceremonies.
I am so glad the Biden Harris debacle is over.
There remains the work of fixing the entire mess made of the nation by the democrats who were controlling this puppet leadership. The work of uncovering who has been responsible for which dastardly policies set into place during this run with the devil.
There remains the consequences of what has been done to damage the Republic.
The lawfare. The unscrupulous immorality of the democratic regime in place under the guise of a carrot named Joe Biden.
The third Kenyan pervert Obama presidency was made possible by this toad.
No, we will not forget.

- Martin Luther King Jr Day 2025
-
Martin Luther King Jr Day is one of those federal holidays in the United States designed to self agrandize the slave race and place us in the simulation of reparations for the past sins of ancestors.
While I have never owned another person or really sought to I feel that there is an attempt to hold me accountable for the actions of others beyond my control. I'm sorry but responsibility does not pass down lines of heredity regardless of how much you claim this to be so ...
While the blacks are so ready to leap upon affixing blame to all white men for slavery in the United States I am one to lay it at the feet of the perpetrators and call it a day.
It was the Dutch Slave Traders who brought the black man to the United States to be owned by the stupid crackers who would do business with them. This could have and should have been curtailed at several levels but wasn't because the leadership of the nation was just as sorry as the general populace from a standpoint of humanity and ethics. Something I might add which continues to this day ...
As I find the entire notion of slavery unseemly the stupid ranting idiot N-words go on with their white supremacy beliefs that white people (think they are) are superior to those of other races and thus should dominate them.
One should never attempt to tell me what I may or not say OR when I may say it. I use the words I choose for emphasis more so than offense. However, if you are offended, so be it. I'm not going to put up with you much beyond this and I like the rough stuff.
I don't feel superior. Believe me, if I did I would tell you. This white supremacy thing favors maintaining and defending any power and privilege held by white people. White supremacy has origins in the now-discredited doctrine of "scientific" aka "biological" racism whereby the human species is taxonomically divided into races and that there is empirical evidence for the justification of racial discrimination as well as racial inferiority or superiority, and was a key justification for European colonialism and debunked as pseudoscience. This is what your Harvard and your Yale and the pitiful remainder of your so-called 'ivy league' have given you snapperheads.
This self annointed "superiority" has only been aided and abetted by those stupid blacks who just go on and on about it regardless of the truth or regardless of relevancy. If they would just pipe down and limit their attacks to logic and things proven they would fair much better in this ridiculous fray.
So now, on the third Monday of January each year we have marches to the statehouse in honor of Dr King. His was a nonviolent spin on activism during the civil rights mess — which I feel continues to this day regardless of what you call it.
Dr King was always someone I have wanted sit and speak with because I have agreed with much he espoused during his life time and I feel he was taken out by a coward with a rifle just for stating his views.
I believe we have a right to express our views and should be able to make them known without fear of being murdered as Dr King was. Concurrently, I have also been pretty irate over the loss of his father by Dexter King, whom I saw cry while speaking about his father years ago when I was much younger and more impressionable than I am today. It touched my heart and he too had a pround effect on my attitudes toward race relations and civil rights in general. Dexter King deserved to be with his father much longer than the assassin permitted.
So happy Martin Luther King Jr Day anyway. Martin Luther King Jr didn't have to die for his beliefs but some others calling themselves "men" wouldn't have it any other way.

- Gun Appreciation Day 2025
-
I maintain a couple of guns in the crib. There is my primary weapon which is a .367 magnum Ruger Security Six manufactured in the 1970s. Then there is my antique chrome plated nazi Luger 9 mm of the WW2 era.The Second Ammendment to the US Constitution gives us the right to keep and bear arms.
Weapons are authorized by law for the preservation of life, liberty, and property.
The purpose of gun rights is for self-defense, as well as hunting and sporting activities.
The left would curtail your constitutional rights because they are a criminal and overbearing control freak group out to seize our taxes and rule by decree.
Neither weapon has seen much in the way of action since I acquired them. I last fired the Luger back in the 1970s at a tree in Dewitt Casey's yard the day I got it. I last fired my .357 on 05/28/2021 which was the time I qualified for concealed carry, I believe.
Being my primary carry the .357 gets cleaned much more frequently than the lugar — which is primarily a lay around and show gun. I have cleaned the Ruger twice since it was last fired.
Regardless, I have been known to fire long distance at a head sized target periodically and have a reasonable accuracy of approximately 300 feet. I view this as adequate distance from an adversary with good possibility for a kill shot. I don't shoot to wound. I shoot to kill.
Yes, should you find yourself going up against me in a gun fight I'm likely going to kill you without apologies.
Today is Gun Appreciation Day.
It is observed on January 19 annually in the United States. It began primarily as an impetus against heavy handed gun control like the leftist libtards want.
I for one will let the so-called libtard 'authorities' control my weapon when they can pry it from my cold dead hands.
So have respect for your firearms. Those weapons you maintain may sometimes save you from some untenable situation over which you might not gain control otherwise.
Guns don't hurt people. Bad people wielding guns hurt people.
Happy Gun Appreciation Day.

- National Gourmet Coffee Day 2025
-
I am a coffee drinker.
I have experienced intermittent intervals whereby I abstained — but by and large I have consumed coffee regularly for the bulk of my life because I view the caffiene as a promoter of honed concentration; and I like to get jacked up, particularly when at work. I think of it as liquid motivation.
110 words a minute at the computer keyboard does not come without prior efforts toward efficiency and accuracy. I drink coffee toward that end.
Today is National Gourmet Coffee Day. It goes down each January 18.
While I am not a gourmet of coffee or anything I do like a shot of sugar free hazelnut syrup in my cup and have been known to drink a pot or two on some days. The pot I use is a 5 cup thingie and it fills my 16 oz cup two times with a bit left over.
I see others at the Starbucks acting all hoity toity over their offerings. I am not anyone's barrista client nor do I like a lot of sweet going on in the cup.
Suffice it to say that I make my own brew and doctor it up in accordance with my personal tastes and call it a day.
While others are into the show and savoring the moment I am mostly about the effect and what is going on otherwise.
It is said that gourmet coffee is made using 100% Arabica beans.
I find that entire notion the preposterous ranting of some white trash know nothing would be "expert". I have an affinity for other varieties as well. Juan Valdez has nothing on me.
Regardless of your personal opinion I hope you have a happy National Gourmet Coffee Day and drink that brew which you enjoy most.

- National Bootlegger's Day 2025
-
I've known a couple of bootleggers in my day. Being from the rural South it is conceivable that I might have turned out with the skill to 'turn off a gallon or two'.
Today is National Bootlegger’s Day. It is observed each January since 2015 under the asupices of Infinium Spirits in honor of certain historical references to imbibing:
☠ The beginning of prohibition in the US ☠ Distillation of Templeton Rye whiskey ☠ The birthday of the infamous gangster Al Capone
These events all intersect with bootlegging at several levels and the stupidity of the nation to even propose prohibition is evidence for the idiocy of elected officials which persists to this day.
That outlaw nature of bootlegging probably lends credence to it's allure. In the vicinity of my home there are even a segment of the population named 'Still' and they are by and large rebellious and outlawesque in the big scheme of things. So while the teetotaler I am will remain I mark the day as a point in the history of my people.
Happy National Bootlegger’s Day.

- National Religious Freedom Day 2025
-
Religion is a longstanding system of that belief in — and reverence for a supernatural power or powers, regarded as creating and governing the universe.
Specifically, it refers to your specific variety of that belief as it relates to doctrine and practice.
So belief in a spiritual leader typically results in beliefs, values, and practices based on their teachings.
Religion is disparate. It exhibits fundamental differences in kind.
National Religious Freedom Day is observed each January 16 to promote peace and acceptance among the religions of the world. The day emphasizes the right to personal religious beliefs.
You may go to worship in a formal church based surroundings or not.
Not all nations hold liberal tolerance for religious beliefs. There are countries with "state" religions who will punish you severely for failure to adhere to their tenets.
The signing of the International Religious Freedom Act in 1998 in addition to US Congress and US Presidential Administration have added impetus to this notion of religious freedom.
My personal views are of a Christian caucasian Christ and Godhead orientation.
I am not a church goer per se opting for online and televised biblical study for which I make no apologies.
I am also not one of these who holds some denominational religion in high esteem.
Denominations are separist traditions of men.
I understand that there are many who beg to differ with me regarding this.
For example, I think that the sitting Pope Francis is a blatant miscreant heretic who should be burned alive at the stake. I would gladly pile on the wood and light the brush kindling in the best notions of those beginning scenes in the movie Elizabeth of 1998.
I will also accept those beliefs you hold for yourself and would never belittle them as a matter of course unless they are parallel to the notions of the heretic Francis, Bishop of Rome. Boo !
However, in the presence of religious freedom I will retain the right to choose that set of religious notions which mesh with my attitudes otherwise.
Happy National Religious Freedom Day.

- National Hat Day 2025
-
I don't presently own a hat.
My days of hat wearing up til now were primarily a function of my navy service — whereby I was required to wear various head gear in the performance of my duties.
My brother came over day before yesterday in a brown leather looking fedora. He was surprised to see that the conspicuously large hat did not fit on my even larger melon.
Today is National Hat Day. It's a January 15 ocurrence noting the hat in general as both a fashion statement and utilitarian accessory.
I keep thinking I will sucumb to the notion and buy one but it hasn't happened yet. I don't when I became so adamately opposed to hats in general. I suppose it is a function of some underlying dissatisfaction with male pattern baldness or something equally petty.
So if you're so inclined you might don your favorite hat and mark the day in accordance with your personal wishes.
Happy National Hat Day and let me know if you ever see me wearing my black felt fedora as I have planned so many times in the past.

- Organize Your Home Day 2025

That elusive butterfly of optimal home organization.
Yes, I have sought it unsuccessfully for the vast bulk of my life.
While a cluttered desk is said to be the sign of a genius, I find the clutter somewhat foreboding in the presence of all that remains to be done these days.
I attribute this primarily to that impression of the critical level of slovenly slob which appears to inhabit my psyche.
So I engage an angle of attack which suits my lifestyle and go at it repeatedly. Often I am unsuccessful in that endeavor known as reduced entropy.
Today is Organize Your Home Day. It is a January 14th happening this year and a time to take stock of all the clutter that has been accumulating in your house.
They say to donate what you can and discard what you can’t.
The aim is more effective storage space utilization.
The origins of the day like so may others remain obscure.
Regardless you should get on in there and grab that clutter by the throat and evict it from your premeses.

- Make Your Dream Come True Day 2024
-
Our dreams are a function of our ambition, wants, wishes, and desires for ourselves and/or others.
Today is Make Your Dream Come True Day.
It happens each January 13th and is a mechanism for attempting to fulfill all of your dreams — whatever they entail or whomever they involve.
The day is observed as encouragement for each one of us to make our dreams come true.
The origins of the day are quite obscure to say the least, but the notion is always timely and relevant to human existence from a standpoint of self fulfillment.
The act of highlighting those hopes and wishes we may entertain is sometimes called "daydreaming" and they are alleged to be but fantasies made manifest as a result of our personal hopes, dreams, and thoughts.
Whatever your orientation to reality, I hope you'll take a moment to indulge your dreams and who knows, your wishes just may come true.
Like Glenda the Good Witch said, "There's no place like home".
To date, this was my most important wish as well. I gained my domicile back in the early 1990s and have been happy and satisfied by and large ever since.

- Work Harder Day 2025
-
Hard work provides benefits to your existence. Opportunity for advancement, retirement fundage, the respect of your peers as well as your employers.
Work Harder Day is observed each January 12th and is as the name suggests; an opportunity to work harder and the reap the benefits of a job well done.
Success is a function of hard work, subject mastery, skill acquisition and public comportment.
I have found personally that the more humble approach is much more well received than the braggadocio that sometimes eminates from our traps just because we think we have done well.
Work Harder Day appears to have began back in 2016.
You want to stand on your own two feet so it won't be discovered that like Thomas Edison your main claim to fame is riding on the coat tails of someone truly worthy.
Happy Work Harder Day and I wish you success in your endeavors.

- New York crooks Lawfare Judge and Manhattan DA
-
The threads have been revealing that the uncouth, sloppy, and unlawful Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Soros bitch whore Judge Merchan intentionally violated the constitutional and legal rights of President Donald J Trump while his democrat activist slimeball daughter monetized the democratic party and their losses in the 2024 election.
Bragg's unconstitutional and unprecedented Russian nesting doll theory of criminal liability, in which the jury never had to reach unanimity as to each element of the alleged criminal offenses. There must be accountability. There must be consequences.
Bragg usurped the federal government's exclusive authority to prosecute alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws and the Biden Harris Administration's refused to intercede to protect federal interests. These people were in cahoots to contrive charges and they are in addition to the democratic party and main stream media liars of comission and omission. Boo.
Judge Merchan's conspicuously bad and offensive legal rulings before and during the trial that all curtailed President Trump's rights, including:
His failure to recuse himself for blatant political bias against President Trump.
The unconstitutional gag order he imposed on President Trump during the trial.
Judge Merchan's admission of plainly inadmissible, irrelevant, and unfairly prejudicial testimony against President Trump.
His refusal to permit former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley Smith to testify as to the meaning and complexities of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
This custom lawfare should result in prision for life on bread and water or execution of the perpetrators. Put them against a wall, shoot them, and allow them to rot where their worthless criminal asses drop.
Those who practice law in New York, including elected district attorneys and appointed judges, must take a "constitutional oath of office," swearing or affirming to "support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the State of New York."
The oath required District Attorney Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan ostensibly meant they were "bound to a constitutional course of conduct." In their politicized efforts to indict and convict President Trump, they failed these oaths of office. The State of New York did not hold them to any of the standards of ethics and comportment set forth in the judiciary.
Given that President Trump's indictment was conceived in legal and constitutional error with a trial complicated simply made everything worse. An honest review of the facts and the law will likely lead appellate courts to vacate the conviction and dismiss the indictment with prejudice.
This restore some of the American people's trust and confidence in our justice system but MUCH remains to be done. In the meantime, the Committee and Select Subcommittee will continue our oversight of lawfare and its effect on the rule of law in the United States.
However, there needs to be accountability during the crimes not as an after thought.
