    Since the top gun grabber in the world, Hillary, is running for POTUS here is some food for thought.

    The phrase “well-regulated” was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people’s arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it.

    This is the 2nd amendment. We must realize what the Bill of Rights is/was. It is,
    The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Written by James Madison in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties, the Bill of Rights lists specific prohibitions on governmental power. Just the opposite of the communist gun grabbers such as Hillary.

    Specifically prohibitions on government power in favor of the individual. Nothing can be clearer. Gun control nuts fail the test of constitutional scrutiny. The amendment is a specific prohibition on gun grabbers and must be defended as such.

      Howie, checkout the Militia Act, I believe it’s dated 1792. It’s the orginal act Roberts used to make the case for Obola care.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That each and every free able-bodied white male citizen of the respective States, resident therein, who is or shall be of age of eighteen years, and under the age of forty-five years (except as is herein after excepted) shall severally and respectively be enrolled in the militia, by the Captain or Commanding Officer of the company, within whose bounds such citizen shall reside, and that within twelve months after the passing of this Act. And it shall at all time hereafter be the duty of every such Captain or Commanding Officer of a company, to enroll every such citizen as aforesaid, and also those who shall, from time to time, arrive at the age of 18 years, or being at the age of 18 years, and under the age of 45 years (except as before excepted) shall come to reside within his bounds; and shall without delay notify such citizen of the said enrollment, by the proper non-commissioned Officer of the company, by whom such notice may be proved. That every citizen, so enrolled and notified, shall, within six months thereafter, provide himself with a good musket or firelock, a sufficient bayonet and belt, two spare flints, and a knapsack, a pouch, with a box therein, to contain not less than twenty four cartridges, suited to the bore of his musket or firelock, each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball; or with a good rifle, knapsack, shot-pouch, and powder-horn, twenty balls suited to the bore of his rifle, and a quarter of a pound of powder; and shall appear so armed, accoutred and provided, when called out to exercise or into service, except, that when called out on company days to exercise only, he may appear without a knapsack. That the commissioned Officers shall severally be armed with a sword or hanger, and espontoon; and that from and after five years from the passing of this Act, all muskets from arming the militia as is herein required, shall be of bores sufficient for balls of the eighteenth part of a pound; and every citizen so enrolled, and providing himself with the arms, ammunition and accoutrements, required as aforesaid, shall hold the same exempted from all suits, distresses, executions or sales, for debt or for the payment of taxes.

    Good morning! Another beautiful May day; the sun is shining, and it looks like we got a bit of rain over night. Summer is arriving – we are expecting temps in the 80’s all week with chances of thunderstorms most days.

    Pied Beauty
    Gerard Manley Hopkins

    GLORY be to God for dappled things—
    For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
    For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
    Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
    Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
    And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

    All things counter, original, spare, strange;
    Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
    With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
    He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
    Praise him.

    Trump rally this evening in Albuquerque, NM at 9:00 pm EDT, and another tomorrow afternoon in Anaheim, CA. Here’s this week’s schedule: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/schedule/

      Good morning Stella. You know, I never had reason to think about it before, but I am in agreement with lovely. The word dappled is a fine word, and evocative when used correctly.

      My last job with Home Depot was as ops manager. Eventually the demands of the massive amount of freight coming in at night made me have to work third shift. My husband would get home about 7:30 at night and have a fresh hot pot of coffee for me when I came out of the shower. We would drink it together on our front porch swing and by that time the sun would be almost gone, and filtered through the dense woods, dappled about and lingering a few appreciated moments. I think of that when I see the word. Good memories.

        Menagerie, just a thought on weed whacking your lane. If you have a tractor, PTO, a side sickle bar may be used, or salt, water conditioner salt. Around the barn house I use Clorox beach straight in my sprayer. On the drive way and Lane I use salt. Do Not put salt down, and then spray bleach…….not good!!! When you have a dry spell, use the bleach, and salt. Just a thought…… Just be careful…….

    Eric Clapton and Luciano Pavarotti Mournful Cry for the “Holy Mother”

    http://www.patheos.com/blogs/mysticpost/2016/05/16/eric-clapton-and-luciano-pavoratti-mournful-cry-for-the-holy-mother/

    Clapton’s prayer, is indeed real. In his painfully honest memoir, Clapton: The Autobiography, he elaborates on the beginnings of his prayer life — a 1987 rock-bottom moment at the rehab treatment center.

    “I was in complete despair,” Clapton wrote. “In the privacy of my room, I begged for help. I had no notion who I thought I was talking to, I just knew that I had come to the end of my tether . . . and, getting down on my knees, I surrendered. Within a few days I realized that . . . I had found a place to turn to, a place I’d always known was there but never really wanted, or needed, to believe in. From that day until this, I have never failed to pray in the morning, on my knees, asking for help, and at night, to express gratitude for my life and, most of all, for my sobriety. I choose to kneel because I feel I need to humble myself when I pray, and with my ego, this is the most I can do. If you are asking why I do all this, I will tell you . . . because it works, as simple as that.

      Oh boy, do I identify with this! AA would say: Put your shoes under the bed when you go to sleep. When you wake up, get down on the floor to retrieve your shoes and, by the way, start praying! His surrender and realization is just about exactly what happened to me.

      Thank you Stella! That is sheer beauty. Just wow!

      Clapton is really a fascinating man. He was 9 years old when he discovered that the people who were raising him as their own child, were in actuality his grandparents and that the woman he had known as his sister was really his mom. He made a vow at that young age to never trust anyone ever again.

      His distrust of everyone is why he became infatuated with and married Pattie Boyd (George Harrison’s ex-wife) because George was one of the very few people who Eric did have a connection with, he trusted that George could do something that Eric could not, pick a good wife.

      Eric’s journey is really interesting.

    Some things Flannery O’Connor wrote:

    “The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.”

    “I don’t deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it.”

    “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd.”

    “All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and the change is painful.”

      I love this one, a good priest friend of mine was fond of saying, “Sure everyone is willing to be a Great Martyr, take me now! But who is ready for little martyrdom?” “Sure honey you can have the last piece of pizza I’ll have a salad.”

        Have people willing to be Great Martyrs thought that one through? I don’t know. Some animal ripping your guts out? A crucifixion? Being starved to death? I had no idea until I started praying the Liturgy of the Hours, 1960 version, where they will list martyrs and what was done to them. Barbarity and cruelty beyond belief. And they had absolutely no qualms if you were a woman either. Or even, suffering with some illness for years until you finally die. Little martyr things are much easier for me, especially if it has to do with sharing food now… 🙂

          He wasn’t necessarily speaking of the gruesomeness of the death but the imminence of it and the fact that of course most people will never be called to be a great martyr so it is easy to proclaim that one is willing to die for one’s faith.

          This is a priest who counseled married couples about fights over someone eating the last piece of pizza when their spouse had to know that they were looking forward to that piece of pizza when they got home from work 🙄and all the fall out of such a small incident.

          But no if it came down to it even he admitted that if martyrdom was long and drawn out rather than swift and precise that he didn’t know if he would have the courage to remain faithful.

              Nah you didn’t sound off it is just a subject that interests me and it reminded me of some past conversations that I have had.

              I’m well aware of the sanitation of martyrdom that most people have. It is one of the reasons it brings tears to my eyes when Trump talks about the savages who drown people in cages, set people on fire and saw peoples heads off. That is one thing I wish that was stated by Trump and others. The barbarian Muslims do not generally chop off peoples heads or cut off peoples heads they saw them off with small knives.

              We don’t know what the future holds, but we do know that in the end one thing will remain “Love” that is the promise and all of this will be as a blink of the eye. Sometimes that is little comfort while we are living in the blink of that eye, but it is what gives me peace.

                I only ever saw one picture on some non-mainstream website last year, where they had crucified some poor man somewhere over there. I can’t watch the live videos that have been put out of beheadings, etc. I know it would just be that horror deep in me always. I make myself watch Jesus being crucified in The Passion movie. If an animal is hurt, I can’t stand it, but I can watch movies of people dying in battles and shooting and swords, as long as it’s not too graphic.

                I’ve seen real-life bad things and suffering. There’s just only so much I can take in. I’m getting closer to the idea that I will be glad when the “blink of the eye” is over. Meanwhile, we have to stay here and do what we have to do.

    OK, any of us who bought into the “medical profession’s” godlike pronouncements, time to retool our brains:

    We have to have salt now.
    We need fat now.

    Good thing I never took them very seriously. But I did try to lose weight on the low-fat thing. Awful. If I had cut down on salt, I would have dropped from low blood pressure.

      Let’s see, over the years we have been told NOT to eat butter or cheese, supplements are dangerous, coffee is bad, tea is bad, eggs are bad, bacon is bad, beef is bad, etc. I chose to ignore all that years and years ago. I still have friends who only eat the egg white or substitutes which I think is ridiculous. I eat all the rest except for beef, which I just don’t digest well so I gave it up. Didn’t really like it all that much anyway. They just go overboard with their pronouncements about what is bad. I think it usually is connected with financial dealings. JMO

            Mama started using margarine when I was a teenager. Later on, after I moved away from home, I started reading health-nut articles. That was back in the 70’s and I went back to butter. Most of that reading told me all these substitutes were total nonsense. I tried to stay away from trans fats but wasn’t paying enough attention to all the things they ended up in. So, about 10 years ago my bad cholesterol went up and my good when down and the doctor mentioned cholesterol meds the next time they were off. I started taking garlic and quit eating everything that had trans fats in it and my levels have been fine since, actually very good. That was 10 years ago.

              How did you take the garlic – pills? I have had high cholesterol for years. But the good parts outweighed the others in that complicated triage of whatever. My doctor who diagnosed my fibro, etc., was a full MD but also open-minded to some alternative medicine. He said some people just were that way and it wasn’t as bad as they tried to make it sound. So for years I was ok.

              The good parts got less good as I got older and my illness advanced. Then I had this carotid artery blockage – very bad. But I made them test my stomach and legs and run that extra blood test that shows inflammation in the blood. All of that was fine. I can’t figure out what to do. I absolutely cannot tolerate any statin drug. They tried everything…tiny doses, different kinds. It instantly throws me into hyper-pain everywhere, intensifying what’s already there. I already eat almost nothing. Food, which I used to love, is practically meaningless to me. Almost no sweets, maybe once a month or so. My cholesterol is high but not super-awful high.

              Of course, I am highly nervous that the artery they had to use pig-stuff (I think it’s pig) to patch might quickly build up again what was there. It wasn’t the nice, smooth plaque. It was the evil, spitting, bleeding plaque. Just thinking about it gives me the creeps.

        Salt is not bad. In fact, if you get too little salt, you could die.

          Many veggies
          contain sodium.
          Too much of a
          good thing can
          be bad, too.

            Of course. But salt does not cause cancer. It is a legitimate part of the diet. And you would have to eat a LOT of veggies to get an excess of sodium in your diet! Most people who are advised to cut their salt intake get it from processed foods.

            There have been studies (notably in England) that try to link salt to stomach cancer, but there are so many factors that aren’t tested, and it is impossible to pinpoint one single thing that could be contributing to it.

      But “blame has shifted to the widespread use of the harsh chemical glyphosate which is used as a pesticide,” reports Daily Mail UK:

      Glyphosate isn’t a pesticide.

              Roger that, y’all might have glyphosate in your garage under ‘Roundup’. The stuff inactivates 50% in about two months BUT that’s highly dependent upon soil pH, soil bacteria, soil type, soil temp and other factors, Half life can be much less or more but it is not all that mobile once in the soil.
              They say they find glyphosate BUT how long after it was sprayed are they tesing and are they actually finding glyphosate or are th limiting access to and use of the chemicals we eed toey finding the byproducts of breakdown and just calling them glyphosate?
              Many of the problems with contamination are, as I’ve said, not reading and following the instructions. In the barely-getting-enough-food 3rd world you can’t expect some subsistence farmer to read the label and do all of the math and measurement. He sees he has one bottle, one field and one applicator and guess what happens? Those suburban users also tend to over use and are frequently not very picky about how they dispose of leftover mixes and unwanted concentrate. How much of it gets washed down street and home drains?
              These internationalists are coming up with ways for us not to eat meat (inefficient converters of vegetation to protein), fish (over fishing) and are now trying to limit fruit and vegetable production through limiting access to the chemicals we need to fertilize the crops, kill weeds and blast insects. Looks like it’s time for them to start weeding out the population…

      The only mention of party affiliation is when they quote some lady whose deceased loved-one was Rigidly Democrat and she nearly hyperventilated at the thought that his dead vote might have been cast for ***gasp*** a Republican.

      Our MSM knows that that (Repubs cheating, except against other Repubs) actually pretty much never happens in real life, but we know, after all these long years, what our MSM is going to say on any given subject.

      Sometimes I’m actually surprised at my complete and utter lack of surprise, when I read MSM news articles anymore.

          Thx, Stella.

          I have some sweet pics of the new restaurant whenever we finally finish building it.

          Bossman’s opening this place in hopefully two weeks. Reclaimed 200-year-old barn wood, lots of scrubbing and care and polyurethane and epoxy, red and charcoal, burgers and beer.

          The bars look like glass with wood under them.

          Pray for Mike. He taught Russians how to open and run restaurants, when Russians started becoming millionaires, and previously only knew bread-lines.

          He’s a dishwasher now. But we need him to run this new joint.

          Just pray for Mike, please.

            So where is the restaurant, I live for new eateries. As teaching the Russians how to open restaurants, the only places I ate there that were worth a damn were the restaurants reserved for foreigners and Party hacks with real cash. Opening a Mickey D’s over there would be a act of mercy. I remember the corn-based drink in the vending machines that was served at ambient temperature and you drank it from a communal (what else would it be?) tin cup chained to the machine. We rarely ate at the few cafes available, youi don’t want to risk a case of the Trotskys at below zero with the only facility available was a People’s Potty with a line

          I sort of thought of the ‘dead voting’ to be one of those election apocryphal stories untol, in 1991′ I worked with a state-level campaign.
          Obe of the staff had a thich stack of computer printout pages that were lists of voters registered in the candidate’s district over the last ten years. The pages showed which registered voters had voted in the various elections in races from the local to national. If the voter hadn’t voted in the last few elections it could be inferred that voter had left or died and that voter’s name and info were recorded. Now you might ask why the candidate’s staff would be winnowing such a list to find voters in the district who were dead or had moved, I knew better than to ask, but when the busses with the ‘3-piecers’ moved from poll to poll on election day, in a city that didn’t require picture ID, just someone to quote a name on the district’s roll, welllllll………

    Season Approaches: U.S. Hits Record 127 Months Since Major Hurricane Strike

    http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/barbara-hollingsworth/season-approaches-record-127-months-major-hurricane-hit-us

    Although a major hurricane typically strikes the U.S. about once every two years, no major hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. for more than 10 and a half years.

    The second longest stretch between major hurricane strikes was between the major hurricane that struck in August 1860 and the one that struck in September 1869, NOAA records show. The third longest stretch was between the major hurricane that struck in September 1900 and the one that struck in October 1906.

        Our town just gave LED light bulbs to every business in town. Thousands of them.

        We have probably 50 in the track lighting in the new place.

        You see one that’s been on all day, you reluctantly grab it with your whole hand…

        …it’s as cool as a tomato that’s been sitting out all day.

        These bulbs look and illuminate just like incandescent bulbs, and use, in all, as much power as 2 incandescent spots. And last for years.

        Every now and then, white and asian privilege leads to some really neat stuff.

          I switched to LED flashlights as they have a higher output per input, a cleaner light and the LED at tightest stricture goves me a great ‘E’ target projection. Also about 20% of the US price when I buy them directly from China. Downdide is they’re too light to tune up a skel, but there’s really no need for that anymore anyway.
          No LED bulbs in the inside lights yet, just the flourescent ones built to look like a real bulbs. I dislike the wait while they try to get to the point a regular bulb gets to from the git go. BTW, Czarina doesn’t like the spectrum on the LED bulbs so we buy boxes of good old boy bulbs and syore ’em in the garage.

            I’d probably be more better at it were I getting paid but I just enjoy the New Age ability to bend language across multiple international borders at the tap of a few keys on an iPad. There’s a retired Navy captain I worked with in the intel field for many years who, were he a contributer here, would notch this up to the level where medical oversight might becrequired but as we’re just having friendly banter back and forth I don’t see any reason to invoke the Samson Option. Anyone disappointed with the twisted language is welcome to file for a refund, paperwork to be submitted in triplicate, with Mrs Tice, my inspiration and third grade English teacher.
