6 weeks ago I found her on a building site after being tossed out of a car.
Her bones were all twisted and she was about to die alone and sad.
Today the story has the perfect happy ending Skye deserves… (1/6)
Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green.
Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose.
Eat acorns and you get tannins, and a very bad afternoon.
Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen.
Eat nettles, thistles, brambles, rushes and moorland heather and you get a mouth full of blood and no calories.
Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the waste the factory couldn't sell.
Now feed the lot of it to a cow.
She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a hide, on land that will never grow a vegetable, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you do not have.
The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a hillside nobody can plough.
She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is.
The cow is not competing with you for food. She eats the ninety percent you cannot.
Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the hard part.
Recently declassified files from a Georgia cave show what Dr. Phil argues is an ancient alien portrayed as a diety. The children cower before him as the figure empties their water.
@miles_commodore Your Honor I’d like permission to treat the witness as a hostile witness.
You think I’m hostile now just wait till we get home.
Do you two, uh, know each other?
She’s my fiancée.
Well that explains the hostility.
The entire opening statement, with the exception of thank you, will be stricken from the record. The jury will please disregard counsel's entire opening statement. And you, Mr. Gambini... You will not use that kind of language in my court. You understand me? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nothing like waking up on a summer's morning, looking out my window, and seeing Canada's total inability to properly manage their forest lands.
The skies are filled with a thick haze of burning maple syrup.
Wait.... so you are saying you were aware that there were vulnerabilities in our election system?
But CNN has been saying for years that 2020 was the most secure election in history and mocked anyone that suggested there were vulnerabilities.
Now you are saying you are well aware of vulnerabilities?
We don't hate the media enough.
The President stood in the East Room and finally named the infection that has been rotting the American nervous system for years.
He declassified the intelligence.
He showed the 220 million voter files China vacuumed out of our system.
He exposed the machines left open to foreign hands.
He demanded the obvious surgical cuts…photo ID…proof of citizenship…the end of industrial-scale mail-in fraud.
And then the entire political class did what it always does when the scalpel is finally raised against its own flesh.
It flinched.
What follows is not another performance of partisan outrage.
It is the forensic autopsy of a uniparty that has reached perfect evolutionary equilibrium with electoral dysfunction. Democrats harvest the demographic chaos.
Establishment Republicans harvest the donor class that profits from managed decline.
Both sides understand…with the cold clarity of apex predators…that a genuinely secure election system would threaten the only thing they truly love:
the permanent theater that keeps them fed.
The Senate and the House are not broken. They are functioning exactly as designed by the professional political class that inhabits them.
They will not pass the SAVE America Act in any form that matters.
They will not clean the rolls.
They will not close the machines.
They will perform concern…they will schedule hearings…they will issue statements full of the usual empty patriotic noise…and then they will return to the only work they consider sacred:
protecting the conditions of their own survival.
This is not incompetence.
It is pathology.
It is the institutional narcissism of a ruling stratum that has long since severed any neurological connection to the consent of the governed.
Jefferson warned that the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The current occupants of Congress have spent decades proving they will never volunteer for either role.
What follows is the diagnosis.
Read it without the comforting delusion that the next election…or the next bill…or the next carefully worded presidential demand will save you.
The rot is not accidental. It is structural. And structures this deeply necrotic do not reform themselves.
They are cut out…or they kill the host.

Good Morning,
Please join me for a daily scripture break. Friday’s Christian Business Corner will return in a few weeks.
I John 4:2:
"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.”
(I wanted to present the highlighted text (verse 2) in context found in Chapter 4.)
Not every spirit is from God. If you are unsure if the source of a teaching or prophecy is from God then test the spirits.
Here are a couple of observations/suggestions.
God never contradicts His Word/Will so search for corroboration in the Word of God. The more you study the Word of God, the Holy Spirit is able to bring scriptures up in your spirit to confirm or negate the messaging you are receiving. Also slow your life down, when you are rushing around it is much more difficult to hear from the Holy Spirit. Pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit to reveal the true character of the teacher or prophet who delivered the message or prophecy (you will know them by their fruits). After prayerful consideration, a sense of peace begins to settle in instead of fear or confusion; this is a positive confirmation the spirit is from God. You will begin to notice your questions fade away. As you continue on your Christian journey, your relationship with the Holy Spirit grows and this builds confidence in your discernment skills. Trust the Holy Spirit implicitly He will not fail you.
Here are some foundational scriptures that will also assist you in discerning the spirits you may encounter. The discernment of spirits is a skillset that takes time to mature.
1. Hebrews 5:14 - “But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."
2. Philippians 1:9-10-“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ…"
3. John 7:24 - “Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."
4. I Kings 3:9 - “So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”
5. Romans 12:2 - “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
6. Proverbs 15:14 - "The discerning heart seeks knowledge, but the mouth of a fool feeds on folly..."
7. Romans 8:16 - “ The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children."
8. I Corinthians 12:3 - “Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “ Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit."
9. John 10:4-5, "When He has brought out all His own, He goes on ahead of them, and His sheep follow Him because they know His voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
This post was not intended to be a comprehensive teaching on the Holy Spirit or the discerning of spirits. These are just a few practical lessons I hope are helpful for some of you as you continue to study the Word of God.
Personal Comment: This is my opinion. I believe the Holy Spirit led me in this direction because it is quite challenging to write a post that everyone understands the intended purpose of the post. As I compose each scripture break I strive to stay on point, resist interjecting my opinion, remain within the boundary of the scriptural references for the post, and listen to the Holy Spirit for specific guidance. I really try my best to write with clarity of thought and meaning. Sometimes I think it would be easier if we could beam ourselves into a conference room for half an hour. (Just kidding)😂
I would like to thank everyone who has posted comments - I believe we all benefit from that and it certainly helps me as a writer.
I am still working hard on my Women’s Forum articles. I hope to get an article out within the next week.
Have a blessed weekend.
Peace and be prepared.
Our foreign adversaries are hacking our voter databases on the grandest of scales.
Hundreds of thousands of illegals and dead people get mail-in ballots.
Anyone who says our elections are "secure" is a partisan idiot.
Trump's speech last night was not about the 2020 election.
It was about every future election.
Pass the SAVE Act!
All this talk about China being the forefront of election interference...why are we allowing up to 600,000 Chinese students to study in America? How is this not a national security risk?
@mtaibbi "But...but.. that wasn't real socialism"
Romanian who lived under Ceaușescu's regime here. Do you know how many times I read this reply on X? 😆
