      Czar., great reply too the chicken plant roundup. Stella’s comments just click some thoughts from an MBA class, long long time ago, employee productivity was the topic.
      Now I know why the Koch brothers are Anti Trumpers.

        The Koch brothers have no connection to the plants/company, the name is just a coincidence, but the plants do supply Kroger, Burger King and Walmart. I wonder if they’ll be raided next?

          So far, not even the plant owners and managers have not been arrested, but are being investigated.

            I believe DoJ is building a mountain of charges, they’ve been on to these plants for over a year and have a ton of materials including wiretaps.

            The Feds like to let targets stew, they are in no hurry to get to court. The suspense calso causes others who hire illegals to wonder if they’re in the crosshairs, they had a free ride during Obama and now it’s getting to be pay-up time, let them sweat a bit too.

            These guys are dead in the water, they know it and DoJ’s letting them squirm while they prepare the playing grounds.

        Just a note here – it sounds as if you believe that Koch Industries (Koch Brothers) are the owners of Koch Foods. For the record, they are not owners and are not related to the Koch Foods family in any way.

        The Local Newspaper has run articles here expressing worry if Gainesville GA will be next! They have many chicken plants, and they are FULL of illegals. They’ve been raided before years ago. One of them is Koch Foods.
        Gainesville is the “Chicken Capitol of the World)! They even locked up Colonel Sanders for eating chicken with a fork! It was all for charity.
        They have an actual law on the books that you have to eat fried chicken with your fingers!

    For Catholics and many others, today is a very special day: the Feast Day of the Assumption of Mary
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_of_Mary

    If your view of the Blessed Mother is different, and you do not celebrate this day or agree with Catholics and others on this issue, just move on, or enjoy this musical offering from the Cathedral Choir of Einsiedeln, a soaring edifice and monastery (a key church on the mid-Europe Way of of St. James) just 10 minutes from my home:

      Good morning, Nyet! I’m off to the dentist, so no breakfast for me right now but I’ll stop by later to pick up samplings of everything to take with me to Eyre Hall…

      …a plantation house located in Northampton, Virginia, close to Cheriton which was built in 1759-60. The property has been owned by the Eyre family since 1668. The plantation was placed on the National Register on November 12, 1969. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on March 2, 2012.

      Thanks!

    It seems I have been sort of blacklisted by someone who is a friend of my friend. I guess she saw the MAGA tattoo on my forehead. 🙄

    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 Gen. 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.
