Ive never seen a 2 headed snake and poisonous too. No Czar…it aint human. 😉
Video embeded.
“New details were released Friday about a two-headed baby copperhead found earlier this monthoutside a home in Woodbridge, Virginia.
The snake is currently being monitored by a state herpetologist after it was examined at the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro.
“It appears as though the left head is more dominant — it’s generally more active and responsive to stimulus,” a spokesperson for the veterinary hospital said. “Radiographs revealed that the two-headed snake has two tracheas [the left one is more developed], two esophaguses [the right one is more developed], and the two heads share one heart and one set of lungs. Based on the anatomy, it would be better for the right head to eat, but it may be a challenge since the left head appears more dominant.”
Photos and video of the snake were going viral on Facebook after Powhatan-based animal removal business Virginia Wildlife Management and Controlshared them earlier this month.”

“Scientific studies behind Michelle Obama school lunch program retracted”
By Rick Moran – September 21, 2018
We all know that the nutrition industry has more than its share of fakes, charlatans, and snake oil salesmen. But it was thought that scientific studies published in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) had the advantage of being peer-reviewed and critiqued by objective experts.

My mother worked in the school cafeteria from the time I was in 7th grade through my 12th. A lot of the food was from scratch; other dishes contained canned veggies or fruits. After all, this it was a public school and funds are limited unless people want to pay a lot more taxes.
Parents could always prepare a lunch at home to send with their children if they objected to the fare. Even though Mom worked in the cafeteria and I could have received a discount, I never ate there. It was cheaper for Mom to make our lunches, and we got to spend our time at the outdoor tables on the patio with our pals who also brought lunch from home.
Lunch ladies are hard-working. Mom worked with a wonderful group of women of all races and everyone was kind to each other…a great microcosm of America.

“…credibility of the nutrition industry…” – you mean they had some?
We drive down each year for grandparent’s day and have a school lunch with the GGS. It’s a carb-heavy disaster and I sort of feel sorry for the kids, especially those who may rely on them for much of their daily nutrition.
Even in New Orleans, America’s food mecca, school lunches were worse than pathetic. OK, the school admin folks at all levels were stealing every program blind but the cost of local NOLA/SE Louisiana seafood and produce should have meant they could have served an acceptable local meal and not that Yankee-invented crap that most kids just dumped into the trash.
Let’s go back to the Obama administration (hold your nose and swallow hard). The MSM was pushing them sooooo hard that Michelle could have recommended a daily serving of puppy or kitty for each student and the NY Times would be crowing about her gastronomical expertise and publishing their own recipes in their weekly menu. ASPCA would have been extolling the virtues of PETA bred on PITA bread (just had to add that one). No one would have dared question Michelle’s pronouncement’s, she was an empowered black woman married to the New America’s first black president who was so superior to mere mortals he received a Nobel Prize for just existing (The World’s Most Interesting Man). I’m surprised her school lunch work didn’t win her a James Beard award.
Even had her faulty facts been exposed it wouldn’t have been her fault, it would have been portrayed as yet another example of a brother/sister being led astray by the perfidious blue-eyed devil, she’d have been hailed as trying to save the children from the evil clutches of The Man.
BTW, note who’s obviously missing from the strategically placed ‘family’ picture in the carefully planned propaganda photo? Just Michelle…alone with her daughters…running as an individual without her hubby’s help…a strong, independent and lone black woman. Michelle, 2020…or soon thereafter.

What annoyed me was the fact that I think I read in Laura Ingram’s Obama Diaries where Michelle confessed that she hadn’t been feeding her kids properly. So, in traditional Nanny state fashion, she decided that she had to feed everyone’s kids properly. But she wasn’t a dietician and nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all-deal.
At least aura Bush only encouraged kids to read. Encouraging kids to read doesn’t require a specialized degree, unlike what Michelle My Belle decided to meddle in.

Once our Golden Retriver jumped in the pool in the winter. We had been lazy and not removed the leaves from the cover. He sank the pool cover, leaves and all, and his leash got tangles in the whole mess.
My oldest son and I had to get in the icy water and get him free, and he was panicking. Praise God it was in the shallow end. It look a long time, and we were all popsicles. We all loved that dog so much, but for a few days we held a mean grudge.

My ex’s grandfather had a retriever that lived for the fall and bird hunting season.

Pheasant, ducks, geese – all the same to that dog, it’s what it lived for. For much of the year it was ‘a dog’ but for those few months it was the happiest creature on earth.

Arguing with a progressive.
Then they look at you, very seriously, point, and say “See? You’re starting to get it, now. WHERE DOES THE BREAD GO? I rest my case.” And then they walk away.
This is why I don’t argue with progressives. There’s no point. I literally smile and say, “Nope! I can’t argue with that!” And for most of them, even that goes over their head. You literally cannot argue with absurdity. It’s not possible, except for maybe with Zappa or Dali, which would be a neat conversation to witness.
I worked for almost 2 years with a really intelligent guy — both truly and definitely by his own lights –, when he met me he said, “Oh, you’re a Believer? We’re going to have lots of great conversations, admitting to me he is an Atheist.”
I said, “No, we’re not. Watch me.”

We had mutually-enlightening conversations about politics, philosophy, culture, books, and music, but never about religion. I said, from the get-go, it’s not going to be a conversation about my religion, you’re going to watch me, and work with me.

I’m on the iPad, and I can’t (okay, won’t go to all the PITA trouble) post the picture of my favorite, and that’s a shame because words can’t describe it well. It’s awesome.
It has an angle on it and the pi symbol. Translated it says I’m acute pi.
Okay, the combination of math and pun gets me.

This is the meme that got James Woods suspended from Twitter.
His alleged crime? Trying to influence an election by using false information 😜.
Scott Adams agrees with the suspension because he believes that the meme meets Twitter’s criteria for suspension 😂 Scott believes 30% of people are missing the humor gene. Even when I disagree with Scott’s conclusions I conceded that it would take a lot of words to logical refute his path to his conclusion.

Twitter accepts paid ad promoting female genital mutilation

Would Twitter run a paid ad opposing jihad terror? No, I don’t think so, either.

Lactaid makes good milk and really good ice cream, which is what I buy. I can’t consume either of the regular variety at all. For some reason, I seem to be able to tolerate sour cream in small amounts.

Kiddo has moderate sensitivity to soy. The alkergist said that depending on how it is made vefore being eaten, to molecule chains are different and digestion can be easier. I think dairy is the same. Ive got lactose intolerance too now. I either avoid it or take lactaid.

Leftism is about inflicting harm on those who disagree.
Part of the reason we’re seeing unprecedented levels of leftist insanity is that they’re telling us, “If you throw us out of power, we will f*ck you up.”
It’s a form of extortion.
Well, they will harm us whether we leave them in power or remove them from power.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
