    With all my heart, I wish I had nothing more than art to post.

    Instead, there is this:

      And they say Islam is a branch of the the Abrahamic religious tree. Guess it is even though they are descended from”…a wild donkey of a man, (whose) hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand will be against him…”. And who says the Scriptures aren’t accurate?

          I am hopeful that this is a false report. The WT and the Mirror are siting Cardinal’s Easter Vigil for the source who reveled Father Tom’s death but they misinterpreted what he said. Cardinal Schonborn asked for prayers of the repose of the souls of the 4 Missionaries of Charity and their 12 collaborators who were slaughtered by the devils of Islam.

          Although this is the headline the video attached does not match the content of the story. This is what the article says;

          ISIS crucify priest in chilling Easter execution after he was kidnapped from old people’s home

          Now the Washington Times has reported the savage murder has been confirmed at the Easter Vigil Mass by Cardinal Christoph Schonborn of Vienna.

          I believe that there is till hope that Father Tom is still alive, Cardinal Schonborn states this at the vigil; “Since 4th March Faether Tom Uzhunnzlila Salesian Priest who has been serving in Yemen for several years has been missing, since the day he was kidnapped we do not know what has happened to him or where he is, there is still hope he might be freed.

          I hope and pray that the Washington Times has misinterpreted Cardinal Schonborn’s words.

          I have been following this story and I can’t find any source with actual knowledge that he was crucified. I would not be surprised if the devil’s of Islam did crucify Father tom but it has not been confirmed, so let us hope and pray.

          Drudge also has a headline that Father Tom has been crucified but the link starts that;

          The Indian Catholic priest kidnapped by ISIS-linked terrorists in Yemen earlier this month was crucified on Good Friday, it has been claimed.

          The article also states Cardinal Schnborn told his congregation that Father Tom has been crucified but again unless it has yet to be released Cardinal Schonborn did not say this.

          Update while updating this post, I have heard from one involved in the community that boasting of Tom’s death has been made by ISIS but no confirmation as of yet.

            Hmmmm. I’m unsure. Is Robert Flynn Johnson’s little essay just parroting back what someone else told him? To me the drawings make much more sense in the reverse. They are mocking the enlightened and reasoned. The monsters were the OWS types waiting for taking by force their fair share.

          My take is that it is a warning–that when reason sleeps, monsters are free to roam around.

          e.g., OUR reason tells us that Islam is slaughtering Christians as part of religious cleansing; reason ITSELF tells us that. The “reasoning” capabilities of the leftists/ruling elite/world leaders have been allowed to go to “sleep” (or deliberately put into sleep mode) and therefore “monsters” are free to roam around.

          Jihadists are not the only monsters that are taking advantage of the sleep of reason. We see the monsters all around us, every day. Their numbers are growing.

      Last week, I went looking for photos of dogwoods in the forest. At one time the company I worked for had an office in Charlotte, NC, and I visited there in the Spring when the dogwood was blooming in the woods behind the building. It was so very beautiful, and I wanted to show that here. I’m not sure that even this photo is as beautiful as I remember it, but it pays homage to that memory.

            This one is small and not very old, I imagine God’s little birds carried the seeds out in the middle of all the large trees and bushes and it managed to take root.

            Over the years I have bought dogwoods and redbuds and planted them where I wanted them and have never gotten them to live. That makes me love the wild ones and although I’m probably silly, I always look at them as a gift from God.

                I’ve planted many azaleas over the years as well and only once have gotten one to live. I was so proud of myself. 🙂

                A friend of mine has them all over her yard. I swear she can plant a new one and forget to water it for a month and it will live.

                My mother always had a green thumb, but the one thing she could never get to live is an azalea.

                It’s getting about time to take a drive to Muskogee, OK and see all the azaleas at Honor Heights Park, they have over 30,000 azaleas, the big festival is in April.

      I just watched the entire interview and this man has no sense of decency. Trump or nobody has attacked his wife, his family or his kids.
      Retweeting a picture is not an attack. If posting bad pictures is an attack, I’m going to have to go to war with my children who always seem to find the worst old family pictures to share with family on FB. lol

      Revealing Heidi’s past when her past has been working against the sovereignty of our country is fair game, especially for a woman who is going to have unelected power in the White House. Especially when she comes out and says, “we are running for President.”

          Ask schoolkids about Mooch approved lunches.

          I think a woman like Heidi who works to get funding for her husband through her contacts should receive scrutiny. What is she promising these folks in return for their donations? She should have to answer those questions along with she should have to answer questions about her work with Council on Foreign Relations.

          Cruz doesn’t want that scrutinized and that’s why he’s playing the fake outrage act of attacking his wife.

      FTA:

      ” The strongest fire from all media portholes and loopholes is directed at the Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, and his supporters. They are being described as uneducated, angry, vengeful, racist, xenophobic, and plain stupid. Authors of these assumptions, mostly writing from within the Boston-New York-Washington corridor, admit that they don’t even know anyone who likes Trump. But how can they write about what they don’t know? When the electoral map is fluid, when things are happening rapidly in real time, and when no reliable historical data exists, we rely on personal experiences and anecdotal evidence. In the absence of such, the writers simply fill the gaps in their knowledge with their own prejudices, similar to how medieval mapmakers marked unexplored areas with “here be dragons.”

      There’s a big probability that Trump supporters are, in fact, all around them, even in their own families — and the reason why these writers don’t know it, is their own snobbery. No one likes to be called stupid, his IQ questioned, or presumed to be an unthinking herd animal, and many simply don’t have the time to stop and explain their reasons whenever a #Nevertrump activist feels like trashing Trump voters. Many simply choose to remain silent.“

      Very long essay for AT, and very good. Many great comparisons with the USSR.

        Why would we attempt to argue with them, with dialectic OR rhetoric. It’s not possible. I don’t try and levitate objects with The Force, either. Because attempting the impossible, again and again, only leads to strife with these people, and insanity for both participants. So they told us to shut up. So we did.

    Paul Ryan faces primary challenge from wealthy businessman ‘betrayed’ by House speaker

    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/28/paul-ryan-faces-primary-challenge-wealthy-business/

    A wealthy businessman with tea party ties confirmed Sunday that he is mounting a primary challenge to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, saying that after donating to the Wisconsin Republican’s past campaigns he feels “betrayed” by the speaker on trade deals and immigration.

    The businessman, who is not yet revealing his identity, promised that his run will “shake up the establishment in a profound way,” according to a political consultant close to the prospective candidate.

      I truly believe the ripples from Donald Trump’s stand are moving across the country. This may not have a direct tie to Trump, but it may have made this potential candidate think about actually running, think that he might have a chance, or at least, think it is worth it to try. He is a leader.

    Good afternoon, Stella… and ~All! 🙂

    I am beginning a (last) week move-a-thon and will drop by as often as I can, if only to read at the least. Everyone have a fabulous week.

        I hate moving. We’ve done it I think 4 times during our marriage and every time it took us a week to move.
        Our old house we rent out and I swear renters can be moved in a day and moved out within 4 hours.

          Oh I know, Michellc. I’ve known about this move for over two years, have postponed a million times in the past 9 months. And it’s down to the last six days. :\

        Back to Fort Worth in a house we’ve been in since ’77. I’ve been living in my parents house (my home town), they have passed and it’s time to move back to where my girls and g-kids are. I’ve been to daughter’s house in Dallas many times, but haven’t been back to the house in over five years. It is gutted and my husband has renovated it. Hoping happy times are in the future. 🙂

      If I ever write a rap about gun control, (and I could), it would be entitled, “Christian/Newsom:R.I.P.”.

      Had they been packin’… there wouldn’a been no jackin’.

    There’s something sticking to the back of my mind like toilet paper to a shoe – the Turkish connection to ISIS’s murder of the Mideast Christian community.
    Turkey has been actively suporting ISIS in hopes that ISIS wiil kill Kurds and create Sunni enclaves in the Syrian territories adjacent to Turkey in Syria, territories the old Ottoman Empire once owned. In the process the ISIS forces are murdering all of the Christians and non-Moslems it can get its bloody hands on, depopulating these same areas, plus others, of their Christian/non-Moslem occupants. This is a boon to Turkey as it has no more use for the Christian population than it does the Kurds. A pliable Sunni population under Turkish military and religious control is the best outcome for Turkey and if they can get ISIS to do the job all the better, and there’s that much more deniability they can wave in front of them to divert blame.
    Reason this stuck in my mind was the Armenian Genocide, where the Ottoman Empire murdered better than 1.5 MILLION Christians while the rest of the world, occupied by WW I, looked the other way. The word ‘genocide’ was created to describe the Turks’ actions in trying to totally wipe the Christian ‘race’ from the face of the Ottoman Empire.
    Jump ahead 100 years and a resurgent Turkey is once again trying to expand its influence and territory while trying to eradicate the Kurdish ‘race’ while allying itself with another Moslem group all too happy to do Turkey’s dirty work. Might the Turks now be subcontracting its work out to keep its hands clean? They could let ISIS keep on cleaning housebof non-Moslem and politically inconvenient Moslem groups then, when the time comes, turn on ISIS with Western help, cleaning up the mes on the livingroom floor.
    Just wondering…

    Bill Clinton has disappeared from the presidential campaign of wife Hillary — amidst troubling new charges of past cocaine use and his own increasingly bizarre behavior! The National ENQUIRER has revealed a number of recent disturbing moments as the former Prez has campaigned for his wife. His bizarre statements and dazed appearances culminated early last week with Bill declaring that President Obama’s past eight years as President created an “awful legacy!”

    http://www.infowars.com/walker-will-endorse-cruz-in-wisc-push/

    The Big Steal is on – trust me.

    The Bush, Cruz, Rubio, Romney, Ryan, McConnell faction has united and is moving into high gear to steal the nomination from Trump. The immediate plan is an all out bid to deprive Donald Trump of victory – and the delegates – in Wisconsin.

    Governor Scott Walker, long reliant on Koch money, will endorse Cruz. A victory in Wisconsin for Cruz makes the big steal possible. A loss there makes the big steal much more difficult.

    The power-brokers’ short term game is clear; stall Trump just short of the magic number of delegates needed to be nominated on the first ballot with the knowledge that many delegates bound on the first ballot by Trump primary and caucus victories would be unbound on a second ballot. Much in the way the RNC stacked the galleries with anti-Trump partisans in the last two debates, anti-Trump quislings are being planted in various delegations that will be free to betray Trump on subsequent ballots.

    Some Republican state chairmen, for example, in Texas, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, North Dakota, and other states, are planting “Trojan Horse” delegates into slots won by Trump on the first ballot.

    The second part of their audacious plan is to use procedural votes to adopt rules for the convention as recommended by the Rules Committee and the seating of the delegates as recommended by the Credentials Committee, neither of which will favor Donald Trump in any way. Those key committees are made up of two members from each state and the conspirators have been quietly placing their establishment stooges in these positions. This poses the gravest danger to Trump.

      This is going to cost them a lot more than the presidency if Trump is not elected due to their duplicity. Voters will punish them in every race on the ticket.

      Apparently they don’t care to give up at least four years in the White House, but what will it do to their power structure and ability to money grab when they lose big time from Congress to dog catcher? I believe it will happen.

      Is this country so far gone that it won’t matter? I can’t see how that is possible. They really, really overestimate their ability to pee down our backs and tell us it’s raining.

        I honestly don’t think they care because some business donor or lobbyist will give them a cushy job. The donors and lobbyists don’t care who is in charge as long as they get theirs.
        Then the RNC can beg for money if you want to turn this country back around.

      Wi is going to be a mess. I live in one of the most conservative counties in the country and republicans are all over the place. You have Trump supporters who are pissed at Ryan and the GOP cabal, you have Party loyalists who are leaning Kasich and you have the lock step Walkerists who think Cruz is the best bet and hate Trump because they blame him for Walker’s early withdrawal from the race.

      Trump is doing well everywhere other than Milwaukee (no surprise) and the conservative enclaves.

      Tomorrow Trump is going right into the hot seat of Ryan’s home town. There are already protesters there. The Freedom riders are coming tomorrow to put themselves and their Harley’s between Trump supporters and the idiot protestors.

    Well of course Tom Cole loves him.

    http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/274355-ryan-moves-stir-white-house-talk

    With the ugly GOP primary race heading toward a possible contested convention this summer, some of the Speaker’s biggest fans have begun rooting for Ryan to become this year’s GOP nominee — a consensus pick in the event the delegates in Cleveland can’t agree on anyone else.

    “Look, he’s already been vetted, he’s been on a national ticket, millions of people have already voted for him in that regard, we know how he performs,” Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said in an interview on C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers.” “And frankly, he does represent the kind of vision and values, as a Republican, you would want to put forward.”

      Tex, this has been going on in Allegheny County, which surrounds the city of Pittsburgh. Some of the Large Estate homes, county buys, Po folks move in. County mows the grass, and try’s too keep up with the appearance of the house. Within a year or so, the moving vans are moving other folks out.

      This is an easy one. You chain one of the protesters to a car and drag him/her off with the others being towed behind. You don’t have to go fast, just very slowly, it won’t take long until they give up.

      They’ve been lloking at this for decades, economic redlining. One’s dedication to improving one’s lot, getting an education, having a work ethic, investing…you know, all of those things so many at the bottom rungs of our national ladder find so unappealing. Ahhh, if it weren’t for so many materialistic, overachieving ants the grasshoppers would be able to stumble across a crumb every now and then. Grasshoppers are oppressed!

      Appropriate doctrinal conditioning personnel, accompanied by IRS and Medicaid auditors, will arrive at the American College of Pediatrics offices shortly. How dare these persons of science contradict the pronouncements of progressive soft-science doctrinaires!

      BTW if someone ever asks my husband if he’s been faithful during our marriage and he lets another woman answer for him and refuses to answer the question, he will be kicked out on his rear.

      Someone put it on youtube. I still can’t get over her saying she’s going to comment and the guy asking her if she has first hand knowledge of his marriage. lol
      Did either of them think this was going to help? This is the strangest defense I’ve ever seen.
