Accidental tornado daredevil?? Pilot captures up-close footage An Oklahoma glider pilot inadvertently found himself swirling around a sudden tornado, an event that has stumped local meteorologists. David Evans had been looking for a thermal to propel his craft higher when one suddenly developed into what he described as a “rat’s tail-looking thing." “I’ve seen cool drone footage, but you never see someone in their own plane flying right next to a funnel,” said one weather expert.

With their permission, I am publishing a private conversation just in case it may be of help for someone else. Q: … Who do you recommend we follow or not follow on Telegram? A: Rather than provide you a laundry list for the two categories you mentioned, please allow me to respond in a different way. Ask yourself questions such as: - Does the channel’s content make me feel stressed out, anxious, worried or extremely angry after visiting? - Does the channel’s content resonate with me on a gut level most of the time, some of the time or rarely? - Does the channel post information that is inaccurate, or make claims without documentation? - Does the channel’s host admit mistakes, or retract erroneous information? - Does the channel make me feel comfortable enough to engage/comment? - Does the channel’s owner handle contrary opinions well, or do they shutdown differing points of views? - Does the channel’s host make condescending comments to their subscribers? Folks other than The Elites? - Does the channel come up with original content, or are they passing along the same information as other channels? [You could pare down channels that post the same stuff.] - Does it bother you to see graphic images of the Deep State’s deeds, especially without warning? - Does the channel post humorous sexual innuendo memes you find offensive? - Does the channel post adult graphics and humor, and use foul language (regularly) then later post a Bible verse or invoke God? [This is pandering.] - Does the channel’s host have myopic views? Are they a critical thinker? - Does the channel’s host truly promote self-determination, private property, free market solutions, free speech and free association? - Does the channel challenge me to dig deeper? Be better? Help others? I am not suggesting that you should agree with all the opinions of the channel owner. In fact, disagreeing on a few things allows you to contemplate other perspectives, and helps hone your own point of views. The host’s personality is obviously going to influence the content posted. But, overall, a channel shouldn’t leave you consistently feeling dejected, lonely, panicked, frustrated or empty-handed. If it is, you may need to reevaluate what is important to you. I would think the stress of wading through the insincere to find the authentic isn’t worth your valuable time or having your peace stolen. We all have a role in securing our liberty so it’s important for us to engage with one another. I hope you feel comfy enough here (and elsewhere) to share your impressions and ideas.

I listened to Sidney Powell’s interview on Bannon’s War Room. Does anyone else find the background curious?

👆🏻 On the surface, this sounds noble and would in fact, have been an endeavor best undertaken in the private sector. There are reasons to be concerned when .gov gets involved with the citizenry like this, if only because just about everything .gov sticks its nose in turns putrid and is a blight on society. Let’s consider so-called hate crimes. If we were completely honest, crimes are hatred against God. But, what Big Brother did was bless some crimes and criminals with more specialness than others. Essentially they said that “this” crime against “these peoples” deserves more punishment. What if you weren’t in the “these peoples” group singled out? Then your grievances are less worthy. Sadly, our government believes that some murders are more valuable than others. See how they love to categorize and pit us against one another? What are the best laws? The Ten Commandments. The Bible teaches us The Golden Rule. Some ideologies teach (and it’s one we do with our kids), “Don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff.” Both of these beliefs are not discriminatory or fraudulent. We really don’t need to make it more complicated. And it will become convoluted and prejudiced if the government gets involved. Free markets, free speech and free association would handle most of the citizen’s concerns, in my humble opinion.

This is not the role of government! Believe it or not, the government is not responsible for preventing hate. You are free to hate or not hate whatever individual or group or belief you want. The Bill of Rights protects your right to discuss your hatred (or love!) of… whatever. However, you are not free to initiate violence against someone who is not threatening your life. This is a slippery slope of Big Brother interfering in the lives of citizens. Free speech, private property and free association are crucial to liberty. Make no mistake: this is not about showing solidarity with the Jewish community. A bunch of bureaucratic ne’er-do-wells who are consistently on the wrong side of history, and who do not follow the constitution, should not be making laws 👇🏻

"Teach a Man To Fish" by Jon McNaughton

So yesterday my day got a little off kilter for a few hours after finding a baby'ish roach. I very bravely, oh so very bravely, got my son to use the bug catcher to get it. After the fiendish beast was secured, I put the container outside for my husband to deal with later. ThinMint: We captured a cockroach and put it outside for you. Husband: Thank you? ThinMint: You know we have to move now. No time to pack, we just need to leave. Husband: ThinMint: I don’t know if I should be proud or concerned that your 4 year old came up with some very creative ways to dispose of it. Husband: I’ll go take care of it now. A little while later… ThinMint: Is it gone? Did you slaughter it? Husband: Yeah, but it flew away before I could do anything. ThinMint: *goes pale* It was a palmetto?!?! Husband: No, I think it was a moth. Or something. ThinMint: I can’t believe I cannot trust you. You would show me an image of a shark and tell me it was a picture of some kid’s goldfish. Husband: I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a roach. ThinMint: *spent the rest of the day communing with the Good Lord so she wouldn’t have a nervous breakdown over her insect nemesis* Why am I sharing this with you? I want to remind that you that sometimes we have to deal with the unpleasantness of the unexpected so we appreciate the moments that are filled with goodness. Oh, and also we should appreciate the men in our lives who are The Official Household Bug Catcher™. Even when they drop the ball. Happy early Father’s Day!

Here is a site to verify visiting hours to some of these places: https://www.si.edu/museums

When you click on the link it takes you to Hal Turner’s site. There you will see a list of institutions that are closed to the public in the DC area. What immediately jumped out to me is the bullet point, “National Cherry Blossom Festival canceled.” The Cherry Blossom Festival already took place in late March to early April thus nothing is cancelled! Hal says, “Closures now CONFIRMED by a sitting member of the US Congress.” Unfortunately he does not state who this individual is or that they’re off the record. Fishy. A mind-blowingly quick search online shows that these places are 1) open or 2) have been closed for tours since last spring due to covid. Absolutely nothing news worthy. This afternoon I even called to reserve “time-entry passes” at a few places and had no problem being able to secure the tickets over the phone (just for verification purposes). Back on May 11th I posted: “So just for giggles I contacted my congressional representative’s local office today to inquire about White House tours. I was told there are no tours happening now, but they’re hopeful it’ll start up by late summer. The aide said that the DC Mayor has announced that DC is supposed to be fully open by June. We’ll see.”

Wow. I’m so very dismayed. I am posting this here as an example of why it’s crucial for all of us to be sentinels with *news* This was found on a channel –who not only forwarded it from somewhere else, but obviously didn’t verify the information 👇🏻

Today George News posted an update from a friend in Geneva, Switzerland: “… Meanwhile, we learned while standing there that the leaders had started speaking without media inside the room. Finally at 1:39 pm, nine of the 13-member US pool got into the room.” When you couple this with Biden leaving for the G7 while the media pool was still grounded stateside, leaving hours after he did, and *if* you believe this is a White Hat operation… makes you wonder if perhaps the actor needed a break 🤔😃
