Ain’t that true? Morning Wee. Kale is one of those vegetables that I’ve found I need to bury in some other flavor, so it kind of defeats the purpose, I think.
Although, weirdly, I can usually drink things I’d never eat. I’m not bothered by green smoothies, and I don’t even fill them with sugar. But I still stick to coffee, I think my smoothie days are mostly over.

Senator Kennedy says the way to cook kale is to put a little olive oil in it, that way it slides out of the pan into the trash easier.

I hope every college president is made aware of this today to realize how evil these “protesters” are. Two Isreali embassy staffers were killed last night in DC. They have the shooter in custody and he speaks very good english. Almost like he might have been born and raised in this Country.

I am going to say this bluntly. For months, maybe more than a year, we’ve been battling antisemitism online where we all met. It’s blatant and it’s hidden. There’s a crew who flag comments, not because they violate policy, contain nasty words or threats, but because they don’t like them, especially if they are one of the Jewish commenters or supporters.
The leaders of that nasty bunch pride themselves on their MAGA identity.
I say they are cowards and have the exact same reasoning and logic as the blue haired non binary pan sexual currently on strike at Starbucks.
I say this not because young people are wearing fake head scarfs and protest on college campuses are the main problem.
I am saying it because a big portion of the conservative “decent” people we think we know are trying to label people who have different opinions, religions, and attitudes as “operatives” who are pushing an agenda, and should be silenced. In my opinion, and I’ve given a lot of thought to it, we should be just as alarmed and appalled by these people as we are the gun grabbing open border crowd.
These people are everywhere now, and they are accepted, and too few people call this out. Of particular concern to me are the Catholics who are outright anti-Semites. Oh, they have reason after reason to say they aren’t. But they’re talking points, that’s all. It’s no secret the Vatican has heavily favored the “Palestinian” cause, and as much as I have so far been thrilled, cautiously, by our new pope, I’m pretty sure that won’t change. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong.
These people, where ever they are, are an eminent danger to our freedoms, and a clear contributing factor to the murders of those two young Israelis.
The fact that the entire decent world, including especially those Muslims in every country who loudly and frequently spout their message of being a peace loving people, all of us, did not rise up after October 7 and finally stop this indescribable, inexcusable butchery, has left me total off kilter and adrift.
Indeed, the world has embraced these savages and espouse their evil, cracked philosophical outlook.
My brain is perhaps permanently fried.

Bless you, Menagerie! Standing up for what is right in today’s world isn’t easy.
I usually regret reading the comment sections at various websites. The sheer ignorance and lack of common decency of so many is most disquieting. It’s especially distressing to read disparaging comments being made against Jews and Israel by those who claim to be Christians.
The following is what God promised to Israel, the birthplace of Our Lord…
Our God has not abandoned Israel, and neither should we. Her survival is nothing short of miraculous. It is due to His care and love and His everlasting promises. Praise be to Him!

Thanks to all for coming into this conversation.
Menagerie, thanks for pointing out that “indescribable, inexcusable butchery” was done on October 7. That alone should be enough. It is indeed a savage, evil, cracked philosophical outlook. Your brain is rational, at any other time such an act would be condemned.
Stella, thank you for pointing out the the young man killed was Christian. I’m quite sure the murderer did not care. In that twisted mind it might even be considered a “plus”. Those of this mindset are dangerous to anyone who would challenge them.
Lucille, Christianity is not allowed to be openly preached according to official Israeli government policy, I’ll let God determine whom He has chosen, or who chooses him, either in or outside of Israel. Beliefs, not lineage. They are entitled to their own.
Romans 9:6
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
KJV
Romans 9:31-33
But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
KJV
They are our allies and should be treated as such. They have a right to defend themselves and their nation from murderous fanatics schooled in an ancient hatred.

Lucille,
I neglected to thank you, it was not intentional.
Thank you, too.
I realize that what you posted is commonly done by Christians, but that verse was not to Israel, but to Abraham. Israel did not exist then.
We are “children of Abraham” as he is the father of “all them that believe”.
Galatians 3:6-9
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. KJV
That’s why the peace negotiations in the Middle East are called the Abrahamic Accords.

Stella,
Do you have a good recipe for butterscotch pudding?
Most recipes I see depend on boxed pudding or artificially flavored morsels.
Not the same.
And butterscotch popcorn is delicious. Unfortunately it was a proprietary recipe and I never found another.

Good day, Czarina! Not having heard of National Maritime Day before, I looked it up and it’s been around since 1933!!
In 1933, Congress declared National Maritime Day to commemorate the American steamship Savannah’s voyage from the United States to England, marking the first successful crossing of the Atlantic Ocean with steam propulsion. During World War II more than 250,000 members of the American Merchant Marine served their country, with more than 6,700 giving their lives, hundreds being detained as prisoners of war and more than 800 U.S. merchant ships being sunk or damaged.
Maritime Day is a time-honored tradition that recognizes one of our country’s most important industries. Each year, ceremonies and celebrations throughout the country recognize Maritime Day and the people our maritime nation depends on.” – https://www.maritime.dot.gov/education/national-maritime-day/national-maritime-day
