General Discussion, Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Posted on July 2, 2019 by Stella

On this day in 1776, Continental Congress resolves “these United Colonies are & of right ought to be Free and Independent States.”

The political naysayer of the day, John Dickinson abstains from the votes that declare independence.

According to many – including John Adams – July 2 is our real Independence Day. According to the National Archives, July 2, 1776 is the day that the Continental Congress actually voted for independence. John Adams, in his writings, even noted that July 2 would be remembered in the annals of American history and would be marked with fireworks and celebrations. The written Declaration of Independence was dated July 4 but wasn’t actually signed until August 2. Fifty-six delegates eventually signed the document, although all were not present on that day in August.

    The rat-ingrate who knelt for our national anthem and flag, because of TDS 🙄, is injured and out completely for the semi final game of the women’s world cup 😎😂 👍🏽!!

    Hopefully she can still keep her date with Alexandria Cortez.

    I hope that the energy shift continues.

    The United States soccer team is in the semifinals and coming off a 2-1 win over France thanks to two goals by Rapinoe. Rapinoe also helped lead the USWNT to victories over Spain (2-1) in the round of 16 and over Group F opponents Thailand (13-0), Chile (3-0) and Sweden (2-0).

    😂😂 So why isn’t Rapinoe playing to start the game? 😂😂

    A U.S. official to Goal Magazine that Rapinoe’s absence is not disciplinary, but wouldn’t answer if she’s injured. “[Coach] Jill [Ellis] will deal with that after the game,” the official said.

    Just in…oh, my the Navy Seal Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher trial is basically finished with a “not guilty” verdict on all but the taking a photo with a dead body charge for which a sentence will be rendered shortly and will probably be time served while awaiting trial or a similar sentence.

    McCarthy: ‘History will prove’ Trump was right on North Korea

    When McCarthy took over from Ryan, people thought “more of the same” but I don’t think that. He’s supportive of President Trump, Ryan phonied it up and pretended to support our President but actually undermined him. McCarthy doesn’t seem to be going down that disloyal road.

    G’evening all. Hope the WP censors allow this through.
    Wicked Son sent me a link today to a press release for his part of a new network at UNCG (UNC Greensboro) and NCA&T. WS designed the NCA&T part.

    You IT Old Guys here – this sure sounds to me like the gubmint is putting in a new backbone. Asked WS (he is intimately familiar with ARPANet) and he agreed. Anyway, here is the link w/the network description. https://newsandfeatures.uncg.edu/high-speed-network/

    Reading through to the end of the press release, imagine my shock when I read the durn kid is a Chancellor of something or other. Thankfully someone recognized him and added Vice to his name. WS should be investigated by Vice! Besides, the kid is too young to be chancellor anything – he only started shaving last week, iirc.

    What do you think about a new gubmint backbone? The first backbone worked really well, before some ID10T gave it away. Why not do it again? And design for security from the beginning this time, not as an afterthought like before.

    (no, WS’s name is not the same as mine – our story is worse and more convoluted than Stella’s)

    Forget guitars at mass, onward to blowguns, spears and recycling bins by the fonts. The sacred tribes of Amazonia will join the 12 tribes of Israel. Catholicism will become a green religion. there won’t be a 2nd Coming, there’ll be a Divine Recycling. This Pope’s on a roll!

    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.

    Roy Orbison – “In Dreams”

    A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
    Tiptoes to my room every night
    Just to sprinkle star dust and to whisper
    Go to sleep, everything is alright

    I close my eyes then I drift away
    Into the magic night, I softly say
    A silent prayer like dreamers do
    Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you

    In dreams I walk with you
    In dreams I talk to you
    In dreams you’re mine all the time
    We’re together in dreams, in dreams

    But just before the dawn
    I awake and find you gone
    I can’t help it, I can’t help it if I cry
    I remember that you said goodbye

    It’s too bad it only seems
    It only happens in my dreams
    Only in dreams
    In beautiful dreams.

    ***************************************

    Good night! God bless!
