    Stellars….

    On Thankful Thursday I’m thankful for the two human genders…and for patriot male cowboys…

    …plus God’s beautiful earth…Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska…

    …and all wildlife such as a mama fox and her kits of both genders…

    Have a beautiful day!

      I don’t anticipate he’ll ever leave his team, but if we can get some of his votes on personnel and some other stuff, we should take it as a win. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

        Yes, I’d be greatly surprised if he ever leaves the Dems. Some folks simply remain out of habit, upbringing. There’s no way he’s thinking his leftie pals are going to change and become more bi-partisan and willing to cross the aisle or become the least bit interested in working with President Trump.

      A big YES to remembering he was elected to represent the people, doing what makes sense to advance the USA and not to vote according to the Rats who just want to retain their power.

    22* on the porch this morning, but better than yesterday’s 12*. Supposed to rise enough to melt the ice on the roads today. Patches of snow still left in the shady areas of my yard. It was glorious while it lasted, now becoming irritating that it is inconvenient.

    National Security Technician Day – need them more than ever these days

    National Handwriting Day – more convenient than typing everything, just requires a pen, needs to be legible, tho

    National Pie Day – not to be confused with Pi Day, March 14.

    Mornin’ All. Still winter here. The snow is turning to ice. I’m glad it’s warm inside.

    But, on the other hand, the sun is shining brightly on our country now that we are cleaning out the trash. What a relief to finally know some positive things are being done.

    Hope you all have a nice day.

    Davos 2025 Celebrates Neo-Paganist Movement – Promotes Giving Personhood to Forests, Rivers, Valleys and Streams (VIDEO)

    By Jim Hoft Jan. 23, 2025 12:20 pm

    According to a previous article on the WEF website, granting legal personhood to forests, rivers, and species could give them the best chance of survival and renewal. But in order to do this, the paganist group claims, “you must listen to and understand the language of nature” itself.

    Sometimes you just need to laugh, even if it’s at yourself. I mis-read the following recipe, and at first thought, “Oh no, not the butterflies”.

    Butterfly Tea Latte

    Butterfly pea powder gives this drink a unique blue coloring.

    Butterfly Tea Latte

    Yield: 2 servings Total Time: 10 Minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup (240 g) soy milk
    • 1/2 Tablespoon butterfly pea flower powder
    • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup (240 ml) water

    Directions

    1. Place all ingredients into the high speed blender container in the order listed and secure the lid.
    2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 7 minutes 30 seconds.

    Chef’s Notes

    • Soy milk and butterfly pea powder are the secret nutrient powerhouse ingredients in this recipe.  Soy milk is an excellent plant based milk alternative that is loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
    • Butterfly pea powder not only brings the “wow” factor with its beautiful, blue hue; but, interestingly, the color is due to a specific kind of antioxidant called anthocyanins. These are the same antioxidants found in grapes and berries, which accounts for their similar color.  Anthocyanins, when consumed regularly, can help prevent chronic disease.

    It’s a pretty blue-flowering pea.

    Said to have an earthy asparagus-type flavor.

      Forgot to give credit to the high-speed blender company, Vita-Mix.

      I did not see a copyright notice on the recipe, but there is one on the page.

      Interestingly enough, the flowers can be used as a natural food-coloring, too.
