How Orwellian. Our version of "Newspeak". Limit the ability for an individual to express detail.

What do you ya'll think? ; )

Thank you, but unfortunately, that was the last of my family. My parents and all my siblings have now passed and I'm only 64.

My brother's cancer accelerated incredibly every time he voluntarily took a booster clot shot. He had a heart attack shortly after his last booster and died a few weeks later.

Those of us who live in Harris County know about the voting corruption. Our big fear is that Sheila Jackson Lee will be "elected" mayor. The peculiar thing is she has had ZERO ads and No mail outs supporting her campaign. All her competitors have been on TV and mailing ads by the tons. Don't tell me the fix isn't already in.

The SPR is stored in underground salt domes. While empty, they start to deteriorate, which only complicates the matter.

I got the same alert here in Houston, home to a very, large Muslim population. Today at Costco, there were numerous ladies in the full get-up with only eye slits buying quite a bit in their shopping carts. Perhaps, Thursday is the big shopping day before their sabbath?

It most certainly is something big. This throws gasoline on the fire that has been smoldering for the US Dollar to no longer be the World’s reserve currency. That would be a financial catastrophe for us.

Something BIG did happen. Fitch downgraded US Long Term Debt to AA+.

You see real satellite images of the Earth every single day when you look at Google Earth or iMaps or the weather channel or NOAA Hurricane Center.....the list is endless.

We might know each other, but I won't ask who you are. Two astronauts that died lived on our street (Freeman and Chaffee) and another lived about six blocks down (Bassett). 10 of the 14 men that walked on the moon lived in our little one square mile city across from NASA.

Just stop it people. We went to the moon.

I grew up literally across the street from the Manned Space Center during the Gemini and Apollo programs. I watched thousands of dedicated and talented men and women achieve this historic milestone. We cheered when our neighbor astronauts succeeded, we grieved when our neighbor astronauts were killed in training or Apollo 1. These were real people.

I am not a doctor, but this shuffling walk looks very similar to someone who has Parkinson's Disease. In addition, a common accompaniment to Parkinson's is Lewy Body Dementia. I've seen this disease in family, it's not nice.

"Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die? If may be, that in the sight of Heaven, you are more worthless and less fit to live than millions like this poor man's child. Oh God! to hear the insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust".

The English have a great expression for this type of situation, "Mutton dressed as Lamb".

Just in case folks don’t recognize the play on this saying….. When Davy Crockett lost his bid for Congress in Tennessee, he said, “Y’all can go to Hell, I’m going to Texas”.

I believe you might be referring to DEF, a separate additive that newer Diesel engines are required to add to their fuel. This is another reason I love my 2008 Ford F-250 —- no DEF required and NO electronics to be tracked. Besides, you can’t haul horses with a Tesla.

Benjamin Franklin did say, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

As a six decade resident of often flooded Houston, it is hard to predict when and where catastrophic or flash flooding will occur.....especially in areas that have hilly terrain like Kentucky. However, local National Weather Service Offices do issue weather Advisories and Warnings, but it is up to the individual to be aware of and heed those warnings. Flash flooding can occur so quickly, it often precludes an evacuation. Individuals must accept responsibility for themselves and keep abreast of potential threats.....both weather and otherwise.

Belleville is a wonderful small town and county seat of Austin County. It is an hour or so drive from Houston. In April, it is one of the first places folks go to see the Texas bluebonnets before heading out to Chappell Hill and Brenham.
