I distinctly remember when Djokovic got on the plane to Australia for a big tennis event last year - he tweeted something about his unvaccinated self heading to Down Under. Had a feeling then that he would be made an example, and he was. The tennis powers-that-be coalesced and decided to deny him entry whenever possible. It’s truly shameful, especially now. I also suspect that - had he stayed quiet - he would have been allowed entry into various countries that have special exceptions (and those exemptions are out there though not widely publicized). I have to admire his courage and willingness to speak out.

After experimenting with just about every imaginable fake meat product (seriously, I thought it might be a healthier option.....what a dumbass), the reason they're not moving the retail needle is because there aren't enough condiments on the planet to cover up the fact that they taste like tile grout with about the same consistency. Incidentally, there is no discernible taste difference with the "free range" crickets. Those cricket slaughter houses are disturbing. Seeing them hanging from those paperclips......I didn't sleep for days.

To be honest, Novak Djokovic will probably be the last tennis player standing! So, good for him sticking to his ethics in not getting the shot! It's certainly not worth a trip to the US to play a game.

Dick Cheney is responsible for Anthony Fauci, too?! Is there no end to his malevolence?

Back in the 2000s, my husband wrote a dirge with the line β€œDick Cheney is still alive” repeated mournfully several times. I cannot believe we are still singing that sad song today.

We can always switch it up to β€œLiz Cheney is still alive” if he does ever die, which is looking increasingly unlikely given how long he’s lasted thus far. He must be performing some vampire trickery or something.

β€œCome and see the works of God,

Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men.

He turned the sea into dry land;

They passed through the river on foot;

There let us rejoice in Him!

He rules by His might forever;

His eyes keep watch on the nations;

Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Bless our God, O peoples,

And sound His praise abroad,

Who keeps us in life

And does not allow our feet to slip.”

β€” Psalm 66:5-9

β€œHo! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters;

And you who have no money come, buy and eat.

Come, buy wine and milk

Without money and without cost.

Why do you spend money for what is not bread,

And your wages for what does not satisfy?

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,

And delight yourself in abundance.”

β€” Isaiah 55:1-2

NASB1995

I love β€œCoffee & Courage”! A brand needs to be adaptable to emerging growth, for expanded distribution capable of engaging additional targeted audiences and should have the ability to maintain relevance and sustainability in future unknown market changes. As we’re fairly certain, Coffee’s not going anywhere (at least we haven’t heard of a new β€œanimal-based” trend to replace the β€œplant-based” nectar!), and as we’re definitely certain that circumstances are almost guaranteed to change, I believe you hit upon what is the most applicable word for responding to and managing the anticipated chaos accompanying that change; β€œCourage”! Well done, maestro!

Since you brought up Cheney. He forever changed the military. In my time service members cut grass, painted stuff, washed vehicles, worked in the chow halls, etc, not only to learn other tasks, but to promote team unity and the spirit of helping each other out. After Cheney these mundane but necessary tasks are contracted out. Military members actually drive vehicles to car washes for detailing. Mowing lawns or scrubbing pots? Not in my job description, sir. But I can sit on my duff and surf the net while someone else does it β€œfor us.” Did wonders adding to the defense budget too. Another lasting legacy from that rotten Dick.

I like this new name option! I need all the courage I can get with my morning coffee. My mantra at night is the Bible verse, β€œ sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”. This way I can start with courage and end with reassurance.

So... for years, decades anyone who reported Aerial spraying from planes aka chemtrails was lambasted, discredited, laughed at, humiliated even involuntarily committed to a psych ward as a lunatic conspiracy theorist despite the mounds of patents and evidence, and now the NYT actually posts rabies is (sprayed) dropped from planes!?! Look into this recent unexplained dog deaths in Michigan phenomenon and connect the dots... another β€œconspiracy theorist” are right again conundrum? https://nypost.com/2022/08/22/mystery-virus-kills-dozens-of-dogs-in-michigan/
