So, today I woke up, right before Blizzard Maintenance. I ended up going to Stormwind to turn in a quest. I bought a new staff for my druid, also. Also, I noticed something:
I have exactly, 66 Deviled Clams! Haha. To funny.
Well, anyways, it was supposed to be cloudy. But as I drank my coffee and smoked my cigarette, I noticed not a cloud in the sky. But, it is early, so perhaps we will see. It was nice out though. But the grass is a little high.
Let me just say, I am taking a break from posting about Trump, because I believe it is all in God’s hands. We need to pray for our President, and be vigilant. A lot is happening all at once. Oh, I did it! I mentioned Trump. Well, what can I say? He has been in the forefront of the news for- nearing 12 years.
Anyways, my Dad and I ate at a restaurant called “The Cotton Patch”, and my Dad ordered the Chicken fried steak, while I had a regular steak. I thought my steak was delicious, it was so juicy!
So, I shared EntertheStars. Sometimes I share the perspective of people- who do not share my beliefs. Nor, does the host seem to understand why we voted for Trump. Still, sometimes he has good information. So, I shared the opposite perspective with you. He goes in and makes fun of Trump for wearing a catheter.
I was reminded the other day, of something. There are Christians inside Iran. Iran is one of those countries, where persecution of Christians is the norm. On top of this they are being bombed! We need to pray for, and remember that they exist.
I have been labelled a Trump troll. I don’t mind, because Trump is my President, and Trump says “Never give up”. Trump always speaks in uplifting positive terms, rather than the negative whininess from the left. I cannot fully describe why I like Trump. I do my best to put it in human terms. But Trump really is a God send at a time when America is struggling. Did you know that Trump never conceded? No wonder! Before the dominion servers went down Trump had 410 electoral votes. Trump carried California. It was a landslide. Mike Lyndell constantly insists the election was stolen. We have the 2000 Mules story as well.
Now, the witch hunt continues against Trump. The FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. In the news, I heard that the FBI recovered two passports. One was expired. The anti-Trump campaign is like something out of Eastern Europe, or the Soviet Union. Where they lock the opposition up. They are trying to imprison Trump, or at least prevent him from running.
Europe Hit By Gas Shortage. Portugal to Fill the Gap
I found a news article. The news article is here, from the Business Insider. It discusses how gas coming in from Russia is down to 20%. So, now the Europeans are in a crisis. The Germans and the French are looking to Portugal to fulfill there energy needs. In the article, the author, Phil Rosen writes this:
A new European gas pipeline link could be ready in less than a year as the continent moves to minimize its reliance on Russian supplies amid a worsening energy crisis.
Business Insider
Europe is scrambling to fill the void left by reduced Russian energy capacity. Europe is being cowed into submission by the Kremlin, I think. The United States has dipped into its own recourses also, to counter the loss of Russian energy throughout Europe.
Now, other nations, including the US, have ramped up LNG exports to Europe
Business Insider
The United States is already back helping Europe. Other nations are too. But, the United States has had to stoop down once more, and come to the aid of the European Union countries. Mind you, many of those nations are in NATO, but are they pulling there weight?
Use Your Head, Vote MAGA In November
On another Facebook group I am a part of, I found an article. The title is Student Loan Transferral Ought To Be The Nail In the Coffin For The Democrats. It argues that with all of the debt, the proposed 500 billion, to 1 trillion dollars required to buy the college debt is over the top with our over 30 trillion in debt. It argues that people should vote red in November. But I think this is a part of the problem. To many times, people with R next to there name get elected, and they turn out to be a Rino. We need to elect the Make America Great Again Candidates, because they are backed by Trump. I read in another place that all 26 MAGA candidates won there primaries. Trump, aside from weighing another run in 2024, has been actively helping candidates he supports, win. Because of this, that Trump supports them I think we can bet they are worthy of the title Republican.
The article claims to be about one thing, but winds up being about something else. At the end of the article by American Thinker, it says
The best way to stay out of debt, student or otherwise, is to not spend money you don’t have
American Thinker
The article side tracked from its main point, hopes of a republican victory in November, to financial advise. Although at the end it does re-iterate the hopes of a Red win. Still, I felt like I was being given financial advise, so be careful reading articles from American Thinker, you might become financially savvy.
The Mark Of The Beast
I have been advised to start clear of Revelations. But I thought this was worth sharing. God defeats death.
I really liked this video. It went over the myths surrounding the Mark Of The Beast, as its called in the book of Revelations. It also aims to look at what the Mark is not, and what it is supposed to be. The video explained at one point that the Mark is not something you can take accidently.
I Worked Last Night
Yesterday was Sunday. I worked, and it was another sixteen hour day. But I get paid a lot. So, I don’t mind. But I worry about Max when I am at work. It was that way in school too. My mind focuses on Max, but I cannot help it. Max is my dog, and he needs attention. I cannot give him attention when I am at school or at work. I have considered hiring a dog sitter. I may have to at some point. My Dad has been taking care of Max when I am gone. I wish he would have done it when I was in school. But he does such a good job. He is always careful to bring Max’s food inside, and makes sure Max has plenty of water.
I found my song. I first heard it in 2017 while watching YouTube videos made by Watchman Of The Harvest channel. Which no longer exists. I heard the music while watching one of there videos, explaining about the esoteric stuff. I couldn’t find the name. But on EnterTheStars, someone shared a video about the 2021 New Years Celebration in Seattle. It had that music. So, I looked at the “About” information of the video, and sure enough I found the name of the song. It is from a movie released in 2012. A very haunting piece of music, that I think fits my story. But I will write more about it later. I am listening to it right now, as I type. Although EnterTheStars is really just an anti-Trump rag, it has been most helpful in my research, more than I can admit. I discovered something new. Who knew? Anyways, thats not the point. Thanks EntertheStars for your help.
I have a dental cleaning coming up. I need a deep cleaning. That is more than one opinion, so I am following the advice and going to get a deep cleaning. I have not had a cleaning in years, since before I left Active Duty. My cleaning is on the 31st of August at 1300. I am off work now. Today the Office Manager had me open the door for him. I am going to introduce you to #EntertheStars. I don’t agree with everything EntertheStars has to say but I do find him entertaining. So, I will share it here. My Dad is going out of town today. So, I will have a few days to myself. But I will need to be responsible. Max is outside, because the weather is cooler. It rained last night, and it might rain again today. This cooler weather will be nice, because I have to work while my Dad is out, so it will be much easier on Max.
I really need a dental cleaning. So, this month I am going to get one. Hopefully, this is the start of a good relationship with a dentist. Because I have a lot of dental issues. I would like to get braces for my teeth because my smile needs to be straightened out. I know, I know, I should just accept myself. But it is more than just cosmetics. It has to do with keeping my teeth clean as well. This will help me with the Navy, I think. Which reminds me, I need to update Medical on my condition. I plan to do this once I have my cleaning done. It needs to be a deep cleaning.
EntertheStars
I wanted to include a show I follow on YouTube, EntertheStars. I don’t agree with everything EntertheStars has to say. But Casey is very entertaining. He does decodes of films and shows. Casey also likes to talk about the Bible, and follows the news for you. Again, I do not agree with everything EntertheStars has to say, but I want to share a different perspective here, so that you can appreciate the entertainment value. Occasionally, EntertheStars will say something profound, so I am not sure if he is being sarcastic or if he really believes this stuff. It is hard to tell, maybe he just wants a viral video. Maybe he really does believe what he says. That is for you, to decide for yourself.
In this episode, EntertheStars covered a show, West World, some headlines, and also he discussed the moon and the Bible. EntertheStars likes to quote from the Bible, though, as Casey says, he does not always quote the chapter and verse. Well, I will let you hear what Casey, or rather EntertheStars, himself has to say. This is the Facebook Group for EntertheStars.
My Dad left to go out of town. He is headed to somewhere in New Mexico. Artesia, New Mexico to be exact. That is the last place with phone coverage, he said. He is going to meet his friend, Brad, and his girlfriend. Dad will be gone for several days. He took his Honda Civic instead of the Camry. He barrowed some of my discs to listen to on the way. Right before he left, Dad went and aired up the tires on the Civic. He said he was going to get breakfast before he heads out. So, I think he is all set. I let Max back in after he left.
It is nice and cool this morning. I really think Max should be outside. Despite this, I let Max back in once Dad had left. This is because I need to keep a closer eye on him while Dad is gone. Max is just laying on the bed, resting. I already smoked, so I guess I will just finish writing this blog post.
Today, I am going to try and reconnect with Lady Raven. I really miss chatting Lady Raven. I think me and Lady Raven would click, off the internet. I don’t even know her Facebook. All I have is her Fetlife, and her Kik account, by some miracle. Not sure if you use Kik. It seems similar to GroupMe, but is also like the old chat programs. Anyways, I just wanted to write something about Lady Raven in my blog, so that she knows she is special. Lady Raven is my Mistress, and i am her pet.
Well, thats it for now. With Dad gone, I will need to be more responsible. My dental cleaning couldn’t come at a better time. With it not being as hot today, I will let Max out later. Maybe it is time to get some rest. Have a good day.
For reading my blog. I enjoy it when people read my writing. How are you doing? I hope you are having an excellent day. Remember, each day is a gift from above.
I found this article on Yahoo News. The title of the article, by Caitlin Dickson, is Poll: Republican Support for Afghan Refugees Wanes as Trump, Fox News promote anti-immigrant claims. I think this article is an attempt to make the issue of Afghan refugees yet another partisan issue. But the issue isn’t really partisan. For one, I never heard any claims from Trump or Fox News against the Afghan Refugees. The Afghan refugees are a special category of refugee. Some of them were actively helping the United States while it was in Afghanistan. The survey, which went from August 30 to September 1, found that overall support for resettling the Afghans dropped from 49% to 44%. They use the numbers game to try and make the argument that the issue is with republicans.
I am here to say that most republicans I know are in support of resettling those who helped the United States. The end of Operation Enduring Freedom was symbolic- this was the end of fighting for freedom. So, then after evacuating 124,000 Afghans from Afghanistan, Yahoo News does not want the refugees to feel welcomed by Republicans. They live here now because of Republican Presidents who refused to leave behind those who helped us. Hopefully, despite the end of the evacuation they will be able to continue to get vulnerable Afghans out of the country. The withdrawal was all symbolic, I really do believe so. That we are watching the end of America. How will anyone take us seriously, that we won World War II, when we just up and let the tyrants of the Taliban regain control of the country, just like that.
The people they criticized in the article are Former President Trump, Kevin McCarthy, the minority leader of the senate, and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green. Yet, it was actually the Supreme Court who upheld Trump era policies regarding immigration across the southern border. In fact, I watched an interview on “The Five” on Fox News where they interviewed one of the Afghans trying to escape. Even his phone was breaking up, as the Taliban took over. They wished him well in his endeavor to escape. As he was authorized to come to the United States. But I think that people are just concerned that the Taliban and or, ISIS-K might have used the opportunity to come over here and sneak into the country. But I do not think that is likely. The Taliban is to busy celebrating all the equipment they got, $90 million dollars worth of equipment from the United States. Here is a YouTube video of Rep. Mullins on Fox News. Of course, I think Rep. Mullins is just another figure designed to fit a narrative, or a certain perspective on American politics. That perspective, is to make it appear that conservatives, or republicans are a certain way. Anyways, this video was posted by my Aunt Janet. Enjoy:
Fox News Interview With Rep. Mullins
I do not mean to get all political. I just refreshed my coffee and smoked let Max out. It is hot today, but before I head to work he needs to be outside for a while. Meanwhile, I will continue to write on my blog. I had the other day realized, I need to write on articles that stick out to me. Not just the first one I see. I feel like by doing this, I am helping as a citizen journalist. Many news outlets online now have comments turned off. So, it is up to us to make sure and share these articles, when they stick out to us. To share our perspective so that they will see, there is no alternative to turning comments back on. One way or the other, we will review and comment on their articles.
After my eye-exam yesterday, I had to work. I am part time, and I pulled a double shift. But I am glad, because of the money. I will work any hours they give me. I am not sure if I will do it as good as they want me to, but I will try my best. Now that they know I want to go full time, maybe they are testing me and seeing how I do. Before I started working at Albertsons, I did not know whether I could even work eight hours. Now I am finding out I can work eight hours. But it is very trying. still, I appreciate the hours. I’m mostly moving carts, but I need to remember to stop and do the trashes as well. But the time just goes by so fast, before I know it, it is time to go home.
I also wanted to share a scripture with you. Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers.
2 Rather, he delights in the teachings of the LORD and reflects on his teachings day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted beside streams-
a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does.
4 Wicked people are not like that. Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away. 5 That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgement and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather.
6 The LORD knows the way of righteous people, but the way of wicked people will end.
I try to fit a bit of everything in my blog posts, it seems. That is because, I hope to impress on people the need to wake up. I do not know whether Jesus is coming or not. But we need to wake up, and repent so that we will not be in the way of the wicked. All of scripture points to the coming of Jesus Christ, and then His return as well. I like this one from the end of John. John 21:25 Jesus also did many other things. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books that would be written.
I finished preparing for work. So, I can write a little bit before I head in. Yesterday, I was getting carts for so long, that another, Edward, went and started the trash. But I was able to finish the trash for him. God is watching over me at work, in ways I never expect.
Today is Saturday, September 4, 2021. I need to take my medicine. I did, and I was glad. I just got off of work, a bit ago. I bought Max a treat. But I think I will give it to him tomorrow, sometime. He seems to be doing ok. At work I had some help from Trayne. They helped get carts, do trash, and clean the restrooms.
I was trying to find a COVID article. I read about variant 1.2. It is supposed to have the highest mutations, thus far. But I did not see anything on Yahoo about it. Yahoo, is slipping. Well, no matter. I found a Navy article.
It is an AP article. The title, is Navy Declares Five Sailors Dead After Helicopter Crash. It is in the Pacific Ocean, about 70 miles off of San Diego that the crash occurred. But I really had to read into the article to get that. After 72 hours of intense searches, and dozens of search and rescue missions to find the missing sailors, or the wreckage, the search is now on for remains. On the Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) five other sailors were injured where the MH-60S helicopter was operating before it crashed. They were investigating whether the helicopter struck the ship, where the other sailors were working on the flight deck. The injured sailors were in stable condition according to a Lt. Samuel R. Boyle. The article states that the helicopter belonged to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8.
It is sad for those lost. But reading the article brings back memories of being on the Flight Deck. I remember how dangerous it could be to operate there. One time, when we were underway, I remember a guy accidently bumped a jet. It was a big deal. On the Flight Deck, they do not play games.
The Image Associated With The AP Article
I did a search for Helicopter Sea Squadron 8. I found another article by US Naval Institute. They had an image of what the helicopter looked like:
According to the article by USNI, the nickname of the squadron is the “Eightballers”. Also, the mishap was unspecified. One sailor was recovered from the sea. Meanwhile, two of the five sailors injured were transported ashore for treatment. I liked the USNI article much better. But the AP article at least notified us that something happened. But it was not very specific and left questions. At the end of the USNI article it says:
An investigation into the incident is underway
-USNI
The efforts for the search included the Coast Guard, USS Cincinnati (LCS 20) and USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) and helicopter squadrons from U.S. Pacific Fleet Sea Combat Wing and Helicopter Maritime Strike Wing. A lot of assets were used for this search and rescue. yet, nothing was turned up. The technology we have these days, but yet they cannot find the missing sailors. This is on the heels of the twelve Marines, and one sailor who were killed in Afghanistan. The names of the sailors are being withheld for 24 hours after notification of kin.
Anyways. I am just watching another video on YouTube. I do that a lot. Some of them are interesting. Others are long, but they seem worth it to listen to. You just never know what they might discuss next. I have a whole bunch of videos to watch in my Facebook Group EnterTheStars. But I do not have time now to watch them all.
I finally found it. An article about COVID-19 variant c.1.2 in the Los Angeles Times, by Amina Kahn. Titled “What is the C.1.2 Coronavirus Variant – and Should We be Worried?”. You can read the article yourself, here. Basically, it just says that c.1.2 evolved from c.1, in South Africa and was first noticed in May, and identified in July of this year, according to the article. So, it does not sound like we need to be worried. Because the variant is so far away. But it is highly mutative, higher than other variants. The variant made its way from Africa to Asia, Oceania, and even Europe. But I think this is miss reporting, designed to mask that the virus itself originally came from the lab in Wuhan?
Who knows. They blame Africa to cover up for China. But one of the things is, that China is heavily involved in Africa, for resources. Sometimes they even bring in the troops. I wish I could find an article about that.
Continuing on, to determine whether the variant of c.1.2 is a threat to the United States, they talked with Dr. Stuart Ray of John Hopkins University, and RamÓn Lorenzo-Redondo PH.D of Northwestern university. The article went on to explain that the virus variants are divided into two groups: Variants of Interest and Variants of Concern. So far, c.1.2 has not made either list.

The article blamed the unvaccinated for the rise in new variants. Saying that they need to provide more access to vaccinations. Of course, the real reason to be vaccinated is to protect our rights. Vaccinate! To keep your rights. To protect our freedoms.
Now I am just enjoying a meat stick. I got a meat stick as a treat for Max. Then, I got myself one as well. Max just enjoyed his treat. it is now, Sunday, September 5, 2021. At just after midnight. Time for me to smoke a cigarette and head to bed. Please have a good night.
