It is interesting to see those on the political left claiming Trump will become a dictator if he is re-elected, all while the left is weaponising the "justice" system to neutralise their political opponents.

This is an interesting article about the loss of legitimacy in the justice system https://www.schiffsovereign.com/trends/the-end-of-legitimacy-150978/

I got a bit of enabling work done today. I wanted to lay the base beam for what will become a closet, but there was a bit of floor missing. I can't just replace it because the bits of floor that were there were unsupported - a section had been cut away so the old bath could be connected to the...

You're probably right. If he had been a senior Democrat you can be sure it would have quietly gone away. In unrelated news, apparently some guy named Hunter has some issues with the taxman and potential felony gun charges. I'm sure it's nothing though, it never is. ETA: It's hard to see the...

Is it any less pathetic to steal from a young man?

Depends on the time of year. In the summer, cold brew coffee. For breakfast, orange juice. I hardly ever drink sugary sodas so don't dedicate fridge space to them. I sometimes like a beer of an evening but there's no single staple - I like craft beer and rotate what I drink. In the winter I'm...

It was getting unreliable. It was my wife's car and with winter approaching I didn't want her driving something that might leave her stranded in the dark and cold, in an area with little to no cellphone service. We'd tried everything we could think of to get it fixed but nothing worked, so we...

Yesterday my suggested workout was a 30-minute recovery run but I really struggle with those because the suggested pace is slow enough I struggle to stay slow enough. So I did a free run, keeping the pace comfortable and taking a walk break more or less whenever I felt like it. Which turned out...

After lots of time looking at my space and scratching my head (literally and metaphorically, although not at the same time) I think I've figured out the layout I want for what will become a bedroom, bathroom and a small closet off the bedroom. Limitations include what space is available, wall...

A few to choose from. "What is truth?" is a pretty good one.

There is certainly something ironic when it's considered cruel to keep an animal alive when it's constantly suffering, and yet to do anything other than prolong a human's suffering is considered illegal. There certainly need to be lots of checks and balances - it would be unfortunate if someone...

Since the last update I hauled another 19 2x4s home (19 is an odd number but if I go to 20 it's sometimes hard to get them all into my method for transporting them. The top beam is now in place, which was a tricky process. With one hand you hold the square in place to make sure the beam is...

Perish the thought a politician might try to, you know, connect with some of the people he's hoping will vote for him.

I was hoping for a recovery day today but my suggested workout is a 42 minute base run. Base is easy enough, although the heat won't help. I met a friend for breakfast so needed to give it a while before trying to run, which meant the day had chance to get warmer. I hope the heat isn't too...

I'll give you a call when I've got my rooms drywalled. I hate painting.

It seems to me that the powers that be need to decide one way or the other what the deal is going to be regarding voting. Voting should be easy for people who are entitled to vote and very difficult for people who are not entitled to vote. The trouble is when it's allegedly racist to require...

I've started using cash more and more. It's clean, it's easy, it means a local business get to keep all of their money rather than the banks taking a 3% slice of absolutely everything, and it means cash stays on the radar. When the banks take a 3% cut of every transaction it doesn't take very...

Today's suggested workout was "threshold", running at around the pace my watch last clocked as my lactate threshold speed. But because my watch doesn't consider elevation it was a mixed blessing - the first interval was downhill for the first 60% of the way so maintaining the pace was easy. Then...

It seems more and more that people are looking for racial issues rather than useful issues. As one commentator put it, the demand for racism exceeds the supply. I was very good with numbers as a child because my parents taught me my numbers and letters early on. When I went to school we were...

Awesome, prophetic video channels. So far my experience is that anything presented online as "prophetic" ends up being the kind of thing that wouldn't recognise prophecy if it jumped out and shouted Boo. I actually used a fair bit of online "prophecy" in a Bible study I hosted some years ago as...
