Too little, too late but at least it's now a law on the books. "The Senate approves Rand Paul's (R-KY) amendment to a bill that bans all gain of function research in China from receiving US funding by unanimous voice vote." (Forbes Breaking News)

Dehydrating 10 lbs of shredded potatoes for this next winter. The gifted bag was at the end of the shelf life, so SIL helped me peel. DH shredded them and I blanched them for 5 minutes. Then DH laid them out onto the trays to dry. He'd never done anything like this before.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, May 21, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A group of parents, along with America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) and written by Thomas Renz, Esq., filed a motion in federal court seeking a temporary restraining order “to prevent the expansion of the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for COVID-19 vaccines to include children under the age of 16,” according a statement released earlier today. The motion was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama and is directed against Secretary Xavier Becerra and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It consists of numerous plaintiffs representing various interests and backgrounds, including “physicians and the parents of minor children who are alarmed about offering children experimental products that have not undergone long term animal or safety studies.” “We’ve never seen this level of side effects for any vaccine without the FDA taking action,” stated Dr. Angelina Farella, AFLDS Pediatric Medical Director. “The Rotavirus vaccine was pulled for 15 cases of non-lethal side effects and the Swine Flu vaccine was pulled for 25 deaths. But now, by the CDC’s own data, we are seeing a 12,000 percent increase in deaths with these vaccines and they’re still talking about giving this to our kids.” The lawsuit also challenges the legality of "emergency use authorization" since that law states that children must be at risk, which the CDC says children are statistically at ZERO percent mortality rate by COVID-19. The "emergency use authorization" also states that it can only go into effect if there are no other viable treatments for the virus. Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Zinc, and Budesonide have all been proven as effective treatments by multiple doctors. This lawsuit throws the kitchen sink at the unethical collusion and marketing campaign of this deadly vaccine through Big Media, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Gov, all to financially benefit globalist billionaires. https://renz-law.com/

I tried the magnet test on my husband's arm. He had the Moderna. He couldn't remember which arm received the shot. Yeah, right. I decided to try to find out which arm it was. The magnet stuck to the upper right arm, at the area where he received the shot. He had the funnest look on his face. I didn't say anything about the shot, or 'I told you so'.

We have an annual 'steam and gas show' in a neighboring town. It draws 10,000's of fans. It's the largest in the Midwest. Everything imaginable is running there. The Amish have many of the items on display. I bet you might find one near you and make some offers.

Good article, thanks!! My DH grew up on a mink ranch. They raised 100,000's of mink every year. His father was the breeder and researcher for the owner. Leukemia caused a huge loss in the industry each year. They developed a vaccine for mink and it eliminated the disease in this animal which closely resembles humans in many ways. They submitted the findings and the whole subject was buried and never resurrected. That was over 50 years ago. DH used to also work in the automotive industry. A friend of his developed a carburetor for vehicles that got 50 mph. It was revolutionary and would change the automotive and oil industry. One of the big businesses bought the idea and that was the last time anything was heard of about the new carburetor. Today, the trillions are in big pharma and it's only created a monster that will not go away. On the brighter side, much of my retirement investments are in big pharma. Nuff said.

I laughed when you said 'when old man trouble comes around' .... When DH had his leg crushed from an iron and steel accident at a crane site, the ortho surgeon told him that he patched him up but DH would never walk normal again. DH turned to Doc and said, "that's unacceptable". He was assigned a PT therapist from church but she took herself off the case. Claimed DH would never talk to her again on Sundays. They didn't tell him that his Achilles tendon had ruptured and ended up shorter which required him to learn to walk again. Being the stubborn Kraut that he is, he shed many tears through the year-long PT agony, but does walk normal now. You will too.

I talked to a charity worker from Central America on Sunday and he said that many residents in his country were not taking the shot because it was coming from China and Russia. The people were afraid of the ingredients. He did get the two shots while visiting us in the USA. His wife chose not to get them.

On a brighter note, Texas scored a zero for deaths yesterday.

I didn't take a call yesterday because I was already on the phone. The VA left me a voice message, wanting me to commit to taking a vaccine while I was there this coming monday while getting a steroid injection in my shoulder. If I already had the vaccine, I'm supposed to bring the paperwork proving it. I can see under the current federal administration that it won't be long before the unvaccinated won't be able to secure their rightful medical care.

I heard on the news today that they won't even let the barges pass under the bridge. They are now backed up over 800 barges loaded with fuel and goods.

Wisconsin could pay residents to get COVID-19 vaccine https://www.wisn.com/article/covid-19-wisconsin-doesnt-rule-out-paying-residents-to-get-vaccine/36411950 The percentage of residents who have received at least one dose has only risen a little more than 1% during the last 10 days. Wisconsin vaccination numbers, which had been on the rise for months, are now at a plateau. They dropped from a single-day high of more than 91,000 doses five weeks ago to a little more than 20,000 on Tuesday. "Probably more education because they're afraid. I was afraid at first myself," Ruby Bardwell said. From pop-up clinics in places like shopping centers and bars, health officials have tried a variety of approaches to raise the vaccination rate among those who may still be hesitant. "Now, as we say, the hard part begins. Which is, we find a lot of different, creative ways to do pop-up clinics to bring vaccine to where people are at," Health Services Deputy Secretary Julie Willems Van Dijk said Wednesday. Gov. Tony Evers didn't rule out possibly paying people to get shots at some point in the future. "We'll never say never about any opportunity to convince people to do it," he said. "We haven't reached that point, but we will do everything in our power to get people to get shots in their arms." It appears that the test group is slowing down in adding numbers. The government will now try to bait the control group with candy to get them to step into line to get stuck with the experimental drug.

One commentator said it best ... "Gates wants to rule the world but he can't even rule his own family."

I listened to this man during the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs back in December 2020. The video is getting harder to find as time goes on. The committee is chaired by our own Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. He has since been crucified by the Social Media Giants at every turn. The state newspapers have launched a constant diatribe against him, ranting and raving about his conservative convictions, often on the front page and usually unfairly and inaccurately. Because Senator Johnson is up for reelection, the barrage of attacks are non-stop. The citizens of Wisconsin are sick of it. No wonder political conservatives want to retire to retreat from the front line assault. No doubt, Senator Johnson has take a huge risk by bringing in well-known doctors who refute, under testimony and with strong long-term data that shows the ability of the drug ivermectin to help prevent COVID-19, to keep those with early symptoms from progressing to the hyper-inflammatory phase of the disease, and even to help critically ill patients recover.

I am unable to open that extension. Even that talented who sits behind me couldn't find a program to open it.

My niece called and said that they were gifted with 75 baby chicks (local feedmill). I could have as many as I wanted. Too bad I don't have any outbuildings, and I'm certainly not going to buy a truckload of wood to build a shed THIS YEAR.

When I met DH, he built and raced cars. I remember when the guys used to make repairs (welding) to the race car gas tanks. They would fill them up with fuel and then weld on the outside. They could boil the fuel without very many accidents. I think of the gene therapy in the same way. Welding gas tanks aren't the answer, but until a better technique comes along, most cars (and welders) are saved without too many incidents.

Maybe we don't need so many respirators anymore in the USA? Pallets and pallets and pallets were found at a landfill in Miami-Dade, WPLG TV reports. "From the packaging, Local 10 News traced the model and the manufacturer: Beijing Aerospace Changfeng Ltd. in Beijing. A posting from a broker shows the device selling at $26,000 during the height of need last spring, as U.S. medical workers scrambled to find ventilators for an exploding number of COVID-19 patients," the station reported.

India is one of the few large countries we didn't work in in the communications field. Our Indian coworkers told us to stay away. First, we were a risk to them because we were Caucasian. Riots come from nowhere and we would be dead before 'law enforcement' could arrive. If we were yanked out 'alive' we would be escorted to jail to wait the 'sorting out' of the situation. We would die of either starvation or disease. They also went on to say there is little infrastructure except for cell phones in most areas. Non-existent power outside cities, non-existent healthcare outside cities, masses of people living on top of one another. Little regard to life and countless Indians live day-to-day on food for that very day. It's a whole new definition to 'give us this day our daily bread.' We really do not understand the concept of living day to day just to exist. Never seeing a doctor or a dentist. The MSM has no idea how the Indians actually live outside of a three star hotel. Unless you're 'boots on the ground', Indian can not be defined by the outside world. I'm surprised this disaster hasn't happened more in the African countries, too. When healthcare workers have to walk for days to outlying villages because there are no roads, it is a country that will not be adequately vaccinated.

My niece texted me yesterday after receiving 75 free chicks. Their local farm store gives away the chicks after a certain length of time to farmers they know would take good care of the little McNuggets. Sure wish I had an outbuilding.

We've been scrounging around for pallets in our area for weeks. Since we haven't lived here very long, our resource contacts are few. However, we hit a bonanza at a flooring store we used to shop at when we built our first home back in the 1980's. They're still in business! They told us to take whatever we wanted. The next day we pulled up with our truck and trailer. It was interesting watching DH trying to help me load the pallets with just one arm. The other one is still in a cast from his thumb surgery. It's so hard for a man to work without the use of a thumb. He tells me that he needs 'an extra pincher' when I have to tie his boots. We forget how much pinching and pulling we do with our thumbs. The photo below isn't our set-up yet, but is a good representation of what we'll have by next week. I've got 5 acres of grass/dry leaves that I can mow and stuff into the first bin (and maybe add more bins in the future). The old black square bin has done it's job but living in sand makes it impossible to keep up with compost needs in the garden and orchard.

We wrote to Schwepps years ago and they had almost no quinine in in their tonic water anymore. Maybe it's because quinine can't be bought with a script in the USA and more. Tell your doc to write a script for quinine on paper and I will give you the address of the Canadian pharmacy that fills them. Most of the capsules come from England as quinine is still used in Africa.

It's been a long journey but the garden shed finally arrived and is set on the new gravel pad. DH has his arm in a cast from surgery so the alternative was to purchase a pre-made shed. We've purchased these before and really like the quality of workmanship. The prices are through the roof this year though. We had to purchase off-the-sales-lot because of the months of back-order. The surcharge was $725 because the cost of lumber increases every day. Our carpenter friends said that we couldn't build the shed for what we paid for it, so we bit the bullet and had it delivered and set-up by the mfg. Glad that painful purchase is done and the garage can be emptied out and the vehicles have a place to live this coming winter.
