A favorite of mine for seasoning chicken, sweet marjoram smells so lovely that you could dry it and use it in sachets for your dresser drawers! Did you know that another name for oregano is “wild marjoram”? Its name originates from Latin meaning ‘Mountain Joy’.

Marjoram is used in essential oils. I have read that marjoram essential oil is calming and warming, helping the body to relax into a state of well-being, and can work as a sleep aid. It can also be used in herbal teas.

      Hey Czar, morning to you Last night was the storm H$ll! Was a succession of level 4&5 thunderstorms with very heavy downpours. One right after another……. Hey I’m here. Now down to business; have you ever heard of a government computer system called the Hammer? Google “The American Report”, the link that has Montgomery, George is the story you want to start with……
      I have heard about this system. DOD, has a lab in my big city. ….this whole issue the AG is now investigating makes Watergate look petty larceny…….Clapper, Brennan, and Cardinal Comely are in deep kimchi!!!!

        If you’re talking about the super computer allegedly used to tap Trump, no. I’ve been out of the business for nearly ten years now and the Beltway guys have had time to change systems a number of times.

        The NSA has a truck load of supercomputers, what’s been released from the open source guys on the Utah center alone shows a capacity to not only vacuum up the metadata daily but store, process and harvest it real-time. They have the potential to tap everyone 24/7 and I’d like to see if the existing laws have been parsed to create a situation where gathering the metadata and holding it, if not processing it, is not a crime.

        Again, if we’re talking NSA/CIA, the question comes ‘how did they miss the massive alleged Russian dabbling in the 2016 election’ with their massive intel systems aimed at Russia?

        Muller just mentioned, in his address, that the GRU and not the FSS was responsible for the hits on Hillary’s and the DNC’s computers, interesting.

          I’m reminded of the beginning of Psalm 52…verses 1-7….

          Why do you brag of evil, “Big Man”?
          God’s mercy carries the day.
          You scheme catastrophe;
          your tongue cuts razor-sharp,
          artisan in lies.
          You love evil more than good,
          you call black white.
          You love malicious gossip,
          you foul-mouth.
          God will tear you limb from limb,
          sweep you up and throw you out,
          Pull you up by the roots
          from the land of life.
          Good people will watch and
          worship. They’ll laugh in relief:
          “Big Man bet on the wrong horse,
          trusted in big money,
          made his living from catastrophe.”

    “Revoke Ilhan Omar’s Marriage Fraud Immunity Card”
    By Michelle Malkin |Posted: May 29, 2019 12:01 AM

    If you are not a member of the Democrats’ protected class of bitter loudmouths who hate America, you can be investigated and prosecuted for marriage fraud. The headlines have been filled with recent crackdowns.

    I received this email about this new play by Phelim McAleer

    Dear Supporters,

    You made the Gosnell Movie happen so we just wanted you to be among the first to hear this shocking news. The Mead Theater in Washington DC, which had agreed to host our staged reading of the play FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers has broken their contract and cancelled the event.

    The play is based upon incriminating anti-Trump text messages sent between disgraced former FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. “Young Superman” Dean Cain and “Vampire Slayer” Kristy Swanson are set to play Strzok and Page. Just as with Gosnell this is a story the mainstream media and the establishment want to suppress so they have broken the contract just weeks before the event is supposed to go ahead.

    We are appalled. The Mead Theater withdrew the event, citing “threats of violence.” In actuality, this is an attempt to squash the content of FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers and what it reveals about the anti-Trump forces in the government. They knew we are filming the play and planning to release it online. That’s why they banned us. They just don’t want the truth out there.

    They want to keep the facts hidden from the American people. And they are hiding behind ‘safety concerns’ in order to squash diversity of opinion in the theater and across the country.

    Despite this attempt to sabotage the event, the show will go on. We are working on getting a new venue. The play will go on, on June 13th. It will be filmed and released online. The show will go on even if we have to have it on the pavement outside the theater.

    But just like Gosnell this is an entirely crowdfunded project and we need your assistance. We are now trying to hire event spaces at the last minute – this is proving difficult and expensive. So help us ensure that the truth gets out and that the play is produced. You made Gosnell possible so please visit http://www.FBILovebirds.com to donate and send the link to anyone you think would want to help.

    Watch this video… and see Ann and me condemn the Mead Theater for their cowardice.

    The premise of the article is that the best and brightest have left rural areas for urban opportunities and counties that have anything to offer have become urbanized. Apparently, the rest of us are just blight. Oh yeah, old and white gets mentioned too, surprise, surprise.

    Do these people ever get out of their ivory towers? Yep, there are plenty of simple country people in my town. Thing is, believe it or not, most are honest, hard working, intelligent, productive, and very happy. There are also quite a number of very intellectual people who live here by choice.

    Update: Some areas are a lot better, other areas are a lot worse and some areas that are still in danger. It has been raining all day, so certainly not helping. Good news is local forecast is calling for sunshine the next 3 days. Latest prediction by Corps is flooding until June 8.

    I don’t know how many remember me telling about the local teacher who molested her foster child, but good news on that front as well. She was sentenced to 8 years on 1st count, 8 years on 2nd count and 3rd count was dismissed, she ended up pleading guilty so I don’t know if that was an agreement to a guilty plea or not. She was transferred to a women’s prison in the state yesterday. I feel sorry for her kids, but am happy she at least got sent to prison.

      I hope the forecast bears out and you can all start drying out!

      I don’t know how many remember me telling about the local teacher who molested her foster child, but good news on that front as well.

      I remember. I especially remember the flat brains feeling sorry for her and chastising people as non-christians for wanting her to be punished rather than forgiven and embraced returned to a free run of children.

      Sickening sickos!

      I am pleased she is going to be incarcerated. I hope her sentences are consecutive rather than concurrent.

        I’ll have to look on court page and see, but I’m thinking it’s probably concurrent because on the DOC page it shows 8 years, 2 years and 3 years probation.

        All of those people are as quiet as little church mice now that she’s a convicted child rapist and in prison.

      I was watching the news a little bit ago and Tulsa county is going around in an armored military vehicle with a loudspeaker telling people they should be prepared to evacuate. They’re worried about levees that keep seeping water, their term, the videos I’ve seen on FB look a little more like gushing. People are just a little nuts, I would have already been gone. Nobody can say for sure what will happen if those levees go.

      I know many different LE agencies have all of this military equipment, but it still doesn’t give me a good feeling when I see them.

      Then they were talking about all the people who are being cited for ignoring barriers and going around them. Some people are just really stupid, thinking they need to be up close to flooding waters.

      Then a woman was arrested for calling 911 and saying she saw a person get washed away, rescue teams needed elsewhere spent hours searching for the person and she finally admitted it was all a hoax. Why in the world would a person do that? Hopefully they throw the book at her.

    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.

    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.
