IF I were a photographer, I would take a photograph of one of the apples I bought yesterday. Since I can't take a decent picture, I will try a snapshot in words. I went to a roadside stand far from the supermarket. Instead of pristine apples from 200 hundred miles away in plastic bags, they were all jumbled together, entirely naked in bins, separated by variety and pestered by a few bees. They were 39 cents a pound. A Jonagold, this apple has tiny brown varicose veins or scribbles along the top, a small black spot where a worm or fungus had a meal, and skin that is pinkish red and dusky yellow. It is not shiny or shellacked. The hostile action of the wind and rain seem visible on its dulled skin. The spot suggests hardship too. This apple has been through some stuff. Did you know that an apple has a soul? The apple's musky golden-ness is all the proof you need. It is like no other apple you've seen and like every apple you've seen. Plato would say it's an expression of the ideal apple. An apple has a soul, but not an immortal soul. Artists have spent much time and effort painting bowls or piles of fruit on tables not because they were hungry or in the advertising business for apple growers but because they were trying to capture the evanescent soul of fruit. When I looked…

FROM Chuck Baldwin’s article, “Another Phony Conservative Judge Nominated To The Supreme Court:”

As with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, Barrett is just another Big Government, Police State ideologue who will continue the assault against our constitutionally protected liberties and who will do nothing to overturn Roe.

Here is what Constitutional attorney Robert Barnes says about Barrett:

Barrett sided with the government on almost every civil rights case, every big employer case, every criminal case, while also siding with the government on the lockdowns, on uncompensated takings, on excusing First Amendment infringements & Fourth Amendment violations.

Barrett exclaimed the benefits of Jacobson, the decision that green-lit forced vaccines & carved out an emergency exception to Constitutional protection in “public health” or “emergency” cases used to justify forced sterilizations & detention camps. (more…)

MARK CRISPIN MILLER made the mistake of introducing live propaganda to his college students. Speaking of propaganda, this clip below is from an event in Doylestown, Pennsylvania in which Governor Tom Wolf and PA State Rep Wendy Ullman "chat about removing their masks to speak. Ullman says she is going to play 'political theater' and wait to get her mask removal 'on camera.' They laugh. Gov. Wolf responds 'okay, that’s good.'"    

KAMALA Harris is more physically attractive than Al Sharpton but she's cut from the same cloth as the famous race hustler. To present Breonna Taylor and George Floyd as national martyrs as she did last night at the debate with Mike Pence says a lot about her audacious lack of integrity. Breonna Taylor was killed because her drug dealing boyfriend fired at police and they fired back. George Floyd was a convict who resisted arrest and had taken fentanyl. A total of nine unarmed black people have been killed by police this year. Meanwhile, 57 children under 12, all of them black or brown, have been killed in street violence; every single one of them likely by a black shooter. Every year, about 7,000 blacks are killed by other blacks. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron was called a "coon" by other blacks and received death threats for supporting the decision by a grand jury that no criminal charges be filed against Louisville police in connection with Taylor's death. Harris in the debate was implicitly attacking Cameron too. If Harris, the black supremacist becomes vice president or president, she will do much to wake up more people to the lies behind the sloganeering for "racial justice." They are just so obvious. This kind of racial agitation is a form of political control on behalf of the one percent.  

  IF you were disgusted by the race hustling of Kamala Harris in last night's debate, you might be interested in this address by a former Communist in the 1950s and his description of how the NAACP incited and used blacks.  

CHRISTIANS who thought they were too holy to defend the white race in the face of its constant demonization might be surprised to find that they are considered de facto racists and "white supremacists" anyway. (But then Christianity was the target all along.) Here are relevant headlines (from Leonydus Johnson) of the last few months:

Is there no escape from the drivel of human chattering? And could that question ever be more apropos than in this year of propaganda, revolution, electioneering, and the Great Flu Fraud?

These thoughts came to mind when I read a column Chicago newspaperman Bob Greene wrote twenty years ago about walking along the beach in Florida. He had been doing that for more than fifty years, since he was a boy.  He enjoyed it immensely. He walked alone, but he knew he was not alone. The Gulf, the beach, the sky, the silence, the sounds of night were always there for him to see, to hear, to absorb, and to appreciate.

He wrote about that experience in sharp contrast to the busy-ness and transience of men and women chattering about this or that political candidate.

He preferred the beach and the ocean. As far as I am concerned, there would be no contest. He was right.

The older I got, the more respect I have for nature and the less for modern Americans.

It was years and years ago when I concluded that there is no human invention for which I have less use than television.  During the early weeks of the Great Flu Fraud last spring, I decided to see whether I could find anything worth listening to on AM radio.  I was looking for some evidence—some tiny trace—of reason and old-fashioned American common sense.  I couldn’t find it.

What do you think about Trump’s nomination for SCOTUS?  I see this as a worse attack on motherhood/homemaking than anything the Democrats could do.  Amy Coney Barrett should be home taking care of those seven children and her husband.  She obviously does not need the money.  But her career as a lawyer and judge is SO much more important than being a mother.  Trump is implicitly sending this message, as I see it.

SHORT of an apology from President Trump for allowing this country to descend into medical tyranny and Bolshevik violence, and a vow from him to bring charges of fraud and treason against federal and state officials (I could care less what anyone who paws children as much as Joe Biden does has to say), I sure as heck was not going to watch these two professional wrestlers debate our future. American sovereignty is a thing of the past.

I heard it was every bit as awful as I expected.

It’s not good either way. (more…)
