The Big 10 Championship is this year's actual National Championship....

No 1 vs. No.2.

Should be good. On tomorrow night....

Ohio State vs. Indiana; both undefeated!

It's 15 degrees outside where I am right now and "feels like" 2.

By morning, it's supposed to be 0 degrees. Does that mean it will feel like -13 degrees?

(It's a math word problem!)

TACO is caving....

Trump says it 'may be necessary' to extend Obamacare subsidies that fueled shutdown
He said, though, he'd "rather not" and again pitched paying people directly.

Lawrence O. showed the clip of the abc reporter asking the tough questions of Trump and the Prince.

She was not intimidated by either of them and especially not Trump. Right on, girl!!!!

Trump doesn't understand that his "Epstein investigation" into the Democrats will actually protect them, leaving him

to be the one whose Epstein files will be required to be released.

The ones under "investigation" will be withheld, but the ones with him in them will be free to be released!

LMAO!!!

Will someone please help me find the post in the last few days about Trump barging into a party at Mira Lago

and rambling about going to Heaven?

I intended to save it to read later, but didn't, and now I can't find it....

Thanks!

Here's an attorney friend of mine's take on the "scrubbing" of the Epstein files:

"But something else occurred to me which may cut against the notion of scrubbing the files.
All the Epstein files in the possession of the DOJ were presumably obtained over the the course of multiple investigations and interviews, including discovery in legal proceedings, including the criminal cases against Maxwell and Epstein.
In the ordinary course of document discovery, the documents obtained are numbered - lawyers call it Bates numbering after the old Bates automatic numbering “machines” (heavy stamping devices that rotated an inked number wheel to sequentially hand-number documents.)
The way it works is that all documents are scanned into a computer, usually converted to pdf if they already exist in an electronic file format, and then a computer program like Acrobat Pro, automatically, sequentially numbers them (it could be hundreds of thousands of documents) very quickly.
The numbering app within the program also allows for other alphanumeric characters to be added as either headers or footers, to function, for example as source identifier.
So a Bates number might be GM-0000001 (first document from Ghislaine Maxwell) or JE-0000001 (from Jeffrey Epstein).
Most commonly the Bates number is placed in the lower right hand corner of every page.
It is nearly impossible to unnumber the pages. So, if there is a mass document dump, all the pages should be, at least theoretically, sequentially numbered.
If pages are pulled, there will be gaps in the sequence of numbers..
Now, the program that does the Bates numbering also allows for redactions of words or word sequences (names are words) and it is certainly possible to conceal information via redactions and claim “victim privacy protection,” as if these corrupt grifters cared about that at all. They can redact whole pages, preserving the numerical page sequence while functionally not producing any information.
We will all have a better sense of the particular subterfuge being employed later in the week."

Isaiah 33:1

Isaiah 33:1 states: "Woe to you, destroyer, you who have not been destroyed! Woe to you, betrayer, you who have not been betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed; when you stop betraying, you will be betrayed."

"This verse expresses a warning and condemnation towards those who cause destruction and betrayal without facing consequences themselves. It emphasizes the inevitable justice that will come to those who harm others."

Pondering why Boebert, Greene, and Mace signed and would not remove their signatures from the discharge petition....

Boebert, Greene, and Mace signed and, in the case of Boebert and Mace, would not remove their signatures from it. We're not aware if Greene was also pressured to remove her signature.

Nancy Mace has admitted to having been an abuse victim and left the room in quite an emotional state after some of Epstein's victims were being interviewed in the House. Nothing (that I'm aware of) is known about Boebert or Greene in the context of sexual abuse....

It's common knowledge that sex abusers do not do well in prison, because so many of the prisoners themselves have been sexually abused. The "not doing well in prison" often means the fellow prisoner who is in for abuse is killed. Call it displaced revenge for never being able to get back at their abuser. "Displaced revenge refers to the act of directing revenge towards a target other than the original transgressor, often as a psychological response to feelings of powerlessness or frustration."

Are there any dots to be connected here?
