    You know how it is…you think of one thing and google it and that leads to a whole series of items to look up. Well, I started off with what the English equivalent of Carlos is…

    History of the name CHARLES
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles

    One of the most famous “Charles” in history…Charlemagne

    When Charlemagne died in 814 CE, he left behind a dominion and a legacy unlike anything seen in Western Europe since the fall of Rome. Distinguished historian and author of The Middle Ages Johannes Fried presents a new biographical study of the legendary Frankish king and emperor, illuminating the life and reign of a ruler who shaped Europe’s destiny in ways few figures, before or since, have equaled.

      Lucille, excellent introduction to Charlemagne, “the Knights Code”. Another great Charles would be, Chuck “the Hammer” Martel……

        Yes, indeed, Colonel. Martel should be on every Frenchman’s lips as a reminder that he saved them once from the moslem hordes, but this time around they have to save themselves.

        Did you notice how the Notre Dame fire “investigation” has disappeared into the media ether?

        Good morning Col. 🙂 . Why is it that democrats have to befoul everything that they touch? The anti Prop 10 crowd in WI was absolutely a mob of filthy disgusting stinky slobs. And they are proud of their own stench. Crazy people.

          Lovely, I just can’t answer your question without using a few of “them words”. We have a goof ball Lt. Governor (D) going around the State on a “listening tour” for legalizing Marijuana. He is actually pushing drugs on young people…..just look at City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County or Philadelphia. Or any city/State under Demo control. Did you know under the Trumps’ economy, Demo Control California posted a 9-12 Billion Dollar surplus…

            And yet they believe President Trump is the worst person in the world. Well the democrat minions believe that, the democrat oligarchs just live in fear of being hanged at high noon for their multitudes of heinous crimes against America and humanity.

            From the ‘strange’ instances in Vietnam and Laos to today I really don’t think the government and the elite are that interested in doing away with drugs, quite the contrary. Ditto Europe.

            We destroyed ISIS in what amount of time yet we can’t seem to find and destroy the thousands and thousands of acres of poppies in Central and South America that feed America’s heroin trade? We can’t do the same with the coca plantations that feed the US and Europe? We’re in a Drug War yet the prices of crack and heroin have fallen or remained stable for the last 30ish years relative to inflation? We couldn’t find a Mexican cartel distribution hug smack (excuse the pun) in the middle of Chicago that operated for years, controlled distribution throughout the Midwest and turned more $$$ a year than the Chicago Mercantile Exchange?

              I’ve always said this too czar. I don’t have your background and knowledge, but danged if I can see how they can know what kind of toilet paper every American uses, shoot people from drones controlled thousands of miles away, spend millions on imaginary Russian collusions, and not shut down the drug trade.

              I am inclined to believe that this means the right people profit from not shutting it down.

    Mornin’ all… Wednesday, I went out and mowed . I was so sure that spring was here that I went to storage and pulled out my patio rocking chairs. Thursday the temperatures fell and by mid day the wind began to howl.

    Yesterday morning, the chairs were missing (located them a block away), the temperature kept falling and we had a steady rain all day. Squeaks was not amused to find that he’s not waterproof.

    Last night when I went to bed, I had hopes that in the morning I’d wake up to sunshine and spring…unfortunately, I woke to heavy snowfall and it doesn’t look like it’s going to let up anytime soon. (sigh)

    Stopped by the feed store this morning, found out it was ‘Chicken Day’, folks come from all around to buy/sell/trade chickens. Folks kept on encouraging me to buy some chickens but, as I told ’em, I just can’t seem to figure out how to correctly plant them, they never grow. Did buy a Pollo shirt though.

    Exclusive — 2016 Arizona Police Report: Cocaine Pipe Found in Car Rented by Joe Biden’s Son Hunter Biden, Authorities Declined to Prosecute

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/17/exclusive-2016-arizona-police-report-cocaine-pipe-found-in-car-rented-by-joe-bidens-son-hunter-biden-authorities-declined-to-prosecute/

    His son will trash whatever campaign Jokin’ Joe is able to mount, what with marrying his brother’s wife, China, the Ukraine, and drugs.

    Breitbart News has exclusively obtained a heretofore unreported-on police report from days before the 2016 presidential election that describes how a cocaine pipe that authorities determined was used to smoke cocaine was found in a rental car returned to an Arizona Hertz location in the middle of the night. Also found in the vehicle were several personal effects of Hunter Biden, then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son, like two of his DC driver’s licenses, multiple credit cards, and personally identifying information like a Delaware Attorney General badge and a U.S. Secret Service business card that police said bore his name. Hunter Biden, according to the police report, had rented the vehicle from a location in California with the intent to return it to the Prescott, Arizona, location, where it was discovered the morning after it was dropped off with the drug paraphernalia and Hunter Biden’s personal effects inside.

      It’s good. The pork is moist and the leftovers will make great sandwiches and leftovers for dinner tomorrow. The flavors are a little bit old-fashioned, but very good. My next effort will be spicy-sweet sambal pork noodles.

      I don’t usually cook with fresh pork, but these two dishes are good ones, I think.

    Good evening ladies and gentlymen. Hope your weekend is going well, although one sees a wee bit of bad weather has intruded.

    Wicked Son and DIL listed their house yesterday. Yard sign and all. This morning they had two showings before noon.
    It is sinking in – my kid is leaving, and will not be around anymore for the first time in his life.

    WS is very happy, loves his job, and is buying a new home in Greensboro worth double their current home. They will be living on WS’s salary alone, and DIL’s entire salary will go into retirement.
    Evil Mom should be extremely happy. And yet…

    Ah well. This has not come to stay, it has come to pass. And pass it will.
    Have a Great rest-of-the-weekend, and will pray for fair weather moving in for our weather-oppressed.

      It is hard to have them leave jean, I miss all my girls but my youngest moved to Chicago in January and it has been a huge adjustment. Thankfully none have moved across the country (or to another country) yet!

      It’s part of life, letting them go, and being happy that they are following their own path, I know it is still an empty feeling to see them leave. Hopefully you will be able to visit often.

    • I’m sorry, jeans2nd. 😦 When DD went away to college in Arkansas, I took it very hard. I understand completely. Then our oldest moved to Arizona with his wife and kiddos a few months ago. It was so hard on my husband, because he’s never been far from his son. Thankfully FaceTime and texting make it a bit easier. (((Hugs)))

    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.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Col. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
