Well, it is hard to tell. She is still scratching around her tail and there are some scabs there. She is on a antihistamine but I don’t really think it is working all that well. I can’t see any fleas on her, because her fur is so thick and black. Her snout seemed swollen, but the doctor couldn’t see it, because the swelling has seemed to go down and she has her snuggle tooth back. And, she seems to be eating better every meal now. So, just watching her. She still has lots of energy and loves her walks.
She just has spells scratching, she doesn’t do it constantly. And, if I tell her to stop, she will. But, yes, it does worry me. She is eating better. She gobbled her dinner down tonight. 🙂

Military Anti-Extremism Order Fails to Identify the Target
February 18, 2021 – By Tony Perkins
As FRC’s General Jerry Boykin explained on “Washington Watch” yesterday, the order relies upon the theory that the ranks of our military are filled with white supremacists based on the Capitol riot on January 6. In a stunning act of cynical political theater, Democrats have turned the Capitol into Fort Pelosi due to baseless claims of an ongoing right-wing threat of violence. But as Boykin pointed out, the military does a good job weeding out those associated with the KKK or other white supremacist groups.
He’ getting rid of all dissent within the military. Bronco Bama cleare out most who disagreed with him, and He, ValJarr, and team are getting rid of the rest of them. Seeing a lot of posts from regular folks who are saying NO to their kids going into the petri dish of sociology they call the military. The combo of Klinger and Bill Murray is not gonna be real scary to Xi, or Vlad the Impaler.
Sooo, I’ve been seeing a lot of commercials, video ads, articles, etc. promoting synthetic meats! Because you know, climate change and cow farts! 🙄 Here’s a breakdown from Dr. Berg!
You know, if someone else wants to eat this stuff, that’s ok. I intend to actively avoid it, just like I avoid eating boiled okra because it is icky, endangered wild game meat because it is endangered, and arsenic because it is poison.
Mornin’ All. I hope the situation in Texas and other points in the south is better. It is cool but sunny here today. Dems strike again. I am watching a news article on them closing the ice skating rinks in NY that were associated with the Trump name. All these poor kids that play ice hockey now have no place to go. And, it is all because the rinks are attached to the Trump name. Well, keep warm everyone. 🙂
Yesterday we has a memorial service for Czar in the backyard under the oak tree he grew from an acorn. It was a beautiful, sunny, coolish day. Besides his sons and great grandson, about 9 friends came. Most people had a few words or prayers, and I had a friend read excerpts from the tribute Stella wrote on January 28th and many of y’all’s posts from that day. Your comments were a blessing. Czar’s youngest son built a cross from 4x4s, looking out across the lake, and buried Czar’s ashes there.
Here is a picture of Czar with his grandson. I’d like to tell you he was teaching GS how to post on Stella’s and TCH, but they were really watching the “Baby Shark” video.
Sending hugs to the entire family, Czarina. Sometimes when I’m reading an article I’ll think, wow–Czar would have known all about this, especially if it is some military subject. To be remembered fondly, warmly after you’ve gone is the best tribute of all. Czar deserves the best.
It sounds like a wonderful spot – bet he would’ve picked it out himself! I still think of him all the time. This last week in the political world would have set his hair on fire… Thank you, Czarina.
Thank You for sharing that with us Czarina. It sounds like a lovely and loving memorial. If you ever happen to get a photo of the tree and Cross, I’m guessing we’d love to see it. This photo of Czar and the little guy is sweet – a real man passing on his love and values to the next generations. {{{Hugs}}} to you.
I don’t know what’s happening. I know I put this as a reply to Czarina, but it showed up as a separate comment. Is it because I take so long to write some comments? This is only the past few days. Anyone know why?
We’re warming up, finally, too. Just makes me sick the amount of death a few days of that weather brings, to both humans and beasts…Wyman’s posts on the FB, for example. So, so sad.
Who knew?? I’d sure take it with a smile. Our stores are stripped – of course they’ll be caught back up in 2 or 3 days, but when the trucks “can’t get there from here” to restock they ain’t much left on the shelves after a week.

Guilting: Kindergarteners Forced to Recite “Acknowledgements” That They Occupy Stolen Land

As with language, kids learn all things best when they’re young — and hate-America-first propaganda is no exception.

Renaissance-Era Venetian Beads Found in Alaska Were There Before Columbus
By Madeleine Muzdakis on February 12, 2021
A new report published in the journal “American Antiquity” details the finding of Venetian glass beads from the mid-15th century at archeological sites in Alaska. Authored by Michael L. Kunz and Robin O. Mills, the paper reports that Venetian blue glass “trade beads” were found at three Late Prehistoric Eskimo sites within the Arctic Circle.Trade beads were glass beads frequently used by European traders in the Atlantic world during the 16th to 18th centuries.
In ‘Undaunted Courage’, a thorough history of Meriwether Lewis’ famous expedition, one anecdote refers to him running out of blue trading beads (of which he had begun with an enormous supply). So interesting that centuries later the natives still preferred them.
At least 12 countries had sailors out and about the Pacific Ocean exploring the Western Hemisphere before Columbus. There were probably a couple dozen sailing around the Atlantic Ocean, also before Columbus.
Looks like SloeJoe’s nom for Sturgeon General might have some ‘splainin’ to do. He made bank flappin’ his gums during the scamdemic. For most of these yahoos that’s a feature, not a bug.

Life is almost back to normal here. Power came back on Friday night after 8 days, internet returned a couple of hours ago. My son and his wife just got power back this afternoon after 10 days. Some are still out with no end in sight.
