    Speaking of the magic elixir, here ya’z go. It’s Finally Friday and we’ve all gotta get rested up and energized for the marathon that is in front of us for the next many months. I’ve added some supplements to the regular fare, so just be aware that you might be able to do more chores in much less time through next November. We’re gonna need it. Grab a cup or two. 😉

    Afternoon All. Weather here pretty much the same as yesterday. Cold and overcast. The ground is all white, but that is from frost. Looks pretty, though.

    Not much news. What I am hearing on the boob tube is the same thing pretty much that they said all week, only each day is worse, so I am ignoring it. 2024 is coming fast enough. 🙄

    Well, hope your weather is good and you all have a nice day.

    Captured Member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad Admits His Team Raped Israeli Women
    By Margaret Flavin Dec. 29, 2023 12:40 pm

    Despite the evidence of abuse of women by Hamas, it took nearly TWO MONTHS for the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, known as UN Women, to finally bring itself to mildly criticize Hamas for its rape and murder spree.

    Although the UN has issued statements condemning the Hamas terrorist attack on civilians, UN Women has stayed silent on addressing reports of the gender-based violence perpetrated by Hamas.

      I’ve watched about half of the first video. I suppose I receive at least one phony invoice a month, exactly along the lines as the example they show. I never open them. Just immediately delete them. The ripoff aspect is obvous to me. It frustrates me to see frequently (including here in my neighborhood, how cluelessly trusting so many people are, including opening their doors and letting someone come in who was not expected and who is not someone they know.

      Survival instinct and “spidey senses” are missing.

      One thing I noticed about a year ago on one of those scam invoices: I could easily view my email address at the top, but when I looked a little closer (without clicking into their email) I could see ALL THE EMAIL ADDRESSES IT HAD BEEN SENT TO!! There were about 200 of them on that one page! Unfortunately, that indicated they are just playing the percentages: if they can get 1% or 2% of addresses to panic and respond, they’re successful.

      …and I NEVER answer a phone call that (1) is not in my contacts list or that (2) shows as potential spam.

      Long before the days of cell phones and spam warnings, I had an easy way of getting rid of nuisance callers who were reading from a script and who simply wouldn’t take no for an answer…..as soon as I realized that’s what they were, I would simply announce, “I’m not interested. And besides that, this is a private line and you have no business calling me.” None of those ever called me back—they probably spent the rest of the day trying to figure out what my point was!! Obviously, every phone line was a “private line”, but throwing that into the conversation sort of shut things down.

      It’s no wonder we are in the mess we are in when some are so easily deceived.

        Hi, Sharon! Not long after my father died, my mother received a call asking if he were home. Mom said, “Oh, yes, he’s home and if you’ve got a direct line to heaven you can talk to him.” Silence, then click.

    At the beginning of the year, Crooked Joe Biden and his Democrat accomplices believed that 2023 would mark the END of the Make America Great Again movement. They concocted a nefarious plot to weaponize our nation’s legal system to have me indicted and arrested in an attempt to eliminate their leading opponent – ME. It’s something you’d expect to read out of a textbook on the Soviet Union.

    But the year is not ending as they had hoped.

    Now that 2023 is nearly over, I am honored to tell you that our 2024 presidential campaign is in its strongest position since the moment I rode down the Golden Escalator and announced my bid to run for president as a political outsider.

    Despite having access to every single lever of power you could imagine, Biden is still LOSING. And I’ll tell you why. Because there’s nothing more powerful than YOU, the American people. Crooked Joe can go on a tyrannical rampage all he wants, but he will NEVER have the backing of the patriots of our country.

    There’s only one thing that scares a tyrant – and that’s a free and united PEOPLE.
    2023 may have been a dark chapter in American history. But it also proved that there is no greater force on the face of the planet than when patriots of a nation unite to make their country great again.

    Who Remembers That Chinese Spy Balloon? Well…
    By Spencer Brown | December 29, 2023 1:30 PM

    On September 17, Gen. Mark Milley, Biden’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CBS News that the Chinese spy balloon that had drifted over the United States between January and February was unable to spy on Americans or U.S. government and military assets.

    “…there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,” Milley said, citing an assessment from the U.S. intelligence community.
