Hurricane IDALIA...
We don't get many hurricanes on the West coast of Florida. Nearly a year ago, Ian cut North of the Fort Myers area with extreme flooding and loss of life. The outer bands of winds were so extreme it spawned tornadoes on the East coast 200 miles away that took the roofs off several of the houses and condos around me.
11 months later, waiting for reconstruction, I see they put new trusses on some of the 2nd story condos that were covered with tarps all this time. Those units were severely damaged and unoccupied all this time.
To those who haven't experienced the force of a hurricane and seen the devastation, words and photos cannot fully describe.
Sunday morning, I met with friends and one mentioned a tropical storm in the Yucatan peninsula with a forecast to become a powerful hurricane headed for the West coast of Florida.
Idalia is born...
Late Sunday night, Idalia was a Tropical storm and will strengthen Monday morning while crossing the Western top of Cuba, expected to be a hurricane mid-Monday making a slight curve to the East and hit Florida about 100 miles North of Tampa.

BREAKING NEWS
Most of the recently dead were in the South and unvaccinated, and there were more younger victims than any other point in the pandemic.

An overwhelming majority of Americans who have died in recent months were unvaccinated. The United States has had one of the highest recent death rates of any country with an ample supply of vaccines.
The coronavirus pandemic has become the deadliest in American history, overtaking the toll from the influenza pandemic of 1918 and 1919, which killed about 675,000 people.

It's a real lethal problem

making sense of America’s gun violence problem turns out to be a fairly straightforward proposition.
393 million: That’s how many guns the United States has, according to a 2018 Small Arms Survey, more than one gun per American and about 46 percent of all civilian-owned firearms in the world. And it’s the only variable that can explain America’s high rate of mass shootings: As my colleagues Max Fisher and Josh Keller pointed out back in 2017, an ever-growing body of research consistently reaches this same conclusion.
The same can be said for gun deaths in general, of which mass shootings account for only a tiny fraction. As German Lopez has explained in Vox, “When researchers control for other confounding variables, they have found time and time again that America’s high levels of gun ownership are a major reason the U.S. is so much worse in terms of gun violence than its developed peers.”

While debatable what the best methods for change are, to prevent further slaughter of innocent people, children & adults, it definitely needs change, not resistance to change.
Change is inevitable. Growth is possible. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way."

The tyranny of the minority
There are other reasons policy doesn’t follow public opinion, and some of them are inherent in the very structure of American government. The Senate, for example, by giving equal representation to every state, militates against majority rule. As Harry L. Wilson writes in The Conversation, “California and New York, the first and fourth largest states and ones that favor stricter gun laws, comprise about 18 percent of the population of the United States but only 4 percent of the senators.”
Already a counter-majoritarian institution, the Senate was made even more so by the rise of the modern filibuster in the 20th century, which allows a minority to block majority-supported legislation. That means most substantive legislation must get 60 votes in the Senate to pass — often an exceedingly difficult threshold to reach.

GA judge orders ‘strangely pristine’ mail-in ballots, that look photocopied, to be guarded
Georgia is questioning the validity of a large number of mail-in ballots from last November that allegedly appear to be identical Xeroxed copies that are uncreased, and use identical paper and ink.
Fulton County poll manager Suzi Voyles has never seen anything like it during her 20 years of monitoring elections in Fulton County. “All of them were strangely pristine,” she noted. She noticed the discrepancy as she sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November. As she went through the ballots she saw that a number of the ones cast for Joe Biden were strangely similar to each other right down to the ink and paper.
The votes were identical in nature with perfectly filled ovals. Each of the bubbles featured an identical white void inside them that was shaped like a tiny crescent. The darkened ovals appear to have been copied rather than filled in with a pen or pencil according to RealClearInvestigations.
Voyles also noted that the ballots in question were printed on different paper than the others she had counted. None of them were folded or creased either which is the norm for mail-in ballots since they arrive in envelopes.
The stack of ballots was labeled “State Farm Arena.” There were 110 ballots in that particular stack and all but three of them were marked for Biden. They appeared to be “identical ballots.”
Voyles came forward and voiced her concerns over the anomaly. For her diligence, she was fired as a poll manager by the Fulton County Department of Elections. “I got the boot for speaking the truth,” she said.
She was not alone in noticing the oddity of the ballots. At least three other poll workers all witnessed the same identical ballots.

How the Fake-Vaccine Operates. Delayed reaction, 4 to 14 months. Dr. Tenpenny.
Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who has spent over 20 years and over 40,000 hours reviewing studies on vaccines and how they work, is aghast at what is in this injection.
At 5m 10sec mark: The adverse events for most will likely come into full impact between 4 to 14 months after injection. In the 30 days that had taken place before the recorded interview, VAERS reported 3100 cases of anaphylactic shock (A serious life-threatening allergic reaction which usually occurs within few seconds or minutes of exposure to allergic substances. This involves hives, swelling and sudden drop in the blood pressure and sometimes shock.) and 5,600 neurological reactions *
At 11m 53s through 17m mark:
The spike proteins that the Jab makes your body produce, destroy its ability to defend itself.... the triggering event is subsequent exposure to another Coronavirus.

-- Covid-19 is primarily a disease of the vascular system (The vascular system, also called the circulatory system, is made up of the vessels that carry blood and lymph through the body.) and not the respiratory system.
-- The main culprit is the spike protein. (Spike protein–“a glycoprotein that protrudes from the envelope of some viruses” Merriam-Webster “Like a key in a lock, these spike proteins fuse to receptors on the surface of cells, allowing the virus’s genetic code to invade the host cell, take over its machinery and replicate.” Bruce Lieberman)
-- If Covid-19 is primarily a vascular disease and if the main instrument of physical damage is the spike protein, then why are we injecting people with billions of spike proteins?

* "She returned home after recovering from the initial symptoms, but the next day she woke in tremendous pain throughout her entire body. The woman suffered from incapacitating fatigue and slept almost the entire day for the next three weeks. As she started to slowly recover from the pain and fatigue, Hoffe says she developed what he called “quite a dense Bell’s Palsy.” Hoffe says half of the woman’s face was paralyzed, she was unable to close one eye, and her speech was impeded from a lack of motor functions in her mouth, which also caused drooling."
Dr. David Martin goes through the patent records of Fauci, NIAID, CDC, etc.. and finds they were working on SARS / COVID for over 20 years.
There is no “Delta” Variant – "COVID-19" Was Patented 2 Decades Ago
FF to 1m37 seconds, D. Martin describes how research on the virus itself and use of mRNA as a vaccine resulted in patent applications being filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office over 20 years ago.
Neither the synthetic virus, nor the vaccine are novel.

GROUNDHOG DAY! WINTER WILL...
1) END - 
2) CONTINUE FOR SIX MORE WEEKS -
History...
Groundhogs (aka hedgehogs, whistle pigs, woodchucks) break hibernation this time of year. The weather lore holds that when they emerge from their Winter burrow, if they see their shadows, it frightens them, they return to their holes & Winter will continue for six more weeks.
.....
....
If, however, it is cloudy, they do not see the shadow, so they remain out of their Winter abode and...WINTER ENDS!
...
First reports from Eastern U.S. locales should be coming in shortly...
Stay tuned to this blog for updates as they become available!
Score -
END OF WINTER - 10
SIX MORE WEEKS OF FROZEN HELL ON EARTH - 6

FIREBALL IN THE SKY, E. Wisc. 1:25 a.m. Feb. 6
Stars are visible...lightning seems unlikely.
Fireball meteor?
Did anyone else in the area observe this?
BTW - I'm stark raving sober.

We Are Not Everyone’s Cup of Tea… and That’s OK (*)
The world is filled with people who, no matter what you do, no matter what you try, will simply not like us (yeah! poor things lol!). But the world is also filled with those who will love us fiercely The ones who love us: they are our people.
Don’t waste your finite time and heart trying to convince people who aren’t your people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They won’t buy what you are selling. Don’t try to convince them to walk your path with you because you will only waste your time and your emotional good health. You are not for them and they are not for you. You are not their cup of tea and they are not yours.
Politely wave them along and you move away as well. Seek to share your path with those who recognize and appreciate your gifts, who you are.
We spend so much time focussing on the people who don’t matter that we can sometimes neglect the people that do love and support us unconditionally. Think of them now, think of the last time you told them just how much they mean to you. Make a plan to talk to them and let them know again and stop wasting your valuable time thinking about the people who can’t see just how awesome you are

The turning point
It will be a tough call.
Was it the jailing of refugee children, or the acceptance of a murdering dictator's word,
over the US Intelligence agencies ?
The majority of the American public has had more than enough of #45.
Their low approval rating has shown that for quite some while.
Robert Mueller likely has more than an enough evidence by now.
But, have the Republicans in Congress finally recognized, that 45's removal is what is best for the country.
Indeed, that #45 is a danger to this country ?
