The restaurant/minimart looks terrific, and the painter looks jubilant. Well done! Have you named the business? Something along the lines of an English pub might be cool, like "The Grasshopper and Frog."

Yes they banned spraying in the skies in Tennessee last July. But this week, we have had a triple load of spraying (making up for lost time?). The legislation specified that no FEDERAL agency could spray...but that opened the door for private entities. Everyone is sick here. Literally (except those who think the spraying is all conspiracy nut jobs). The hospitals are filled with sick people and kids.

I‘m sorry to hear that. It’s maddening…

Sounds like it's high time for the State to tack on an amendment to that Law saying it covers any and all spraying of biohazardeous materials. Might want to add such actions will be punishable by death. Just a thought.

If you look up the definition of terrorism you'll find that it applies perfectly to the activities of government.

Yes it does. Absolutely.

The story of the frog and the grasshopper is wonderful!! If you pay attention... the universe is always speaking to us. We had a few clear days here in West MI. Yesterday the trails started again and caused me to shout at the sky 😆. I noticed I felt better when the skies were clear... hmmmm. I'm tired of all of the nonsense. I am certainly not going to get myself frenzied up again by what others decide is healthy for them. I will act as if it's 2019, when not many talked about personal health issues unless coerced by a "medical professional". I've learned more about others than I ever wanted and it's left a sour taste in my mouth. But persist we must... or something like that 😉. Mini mart looks good!! Bet the frog and grasshopper would love to live there.

I'm keeping up with news but definitely spending far less time reading any analyses or viewing additional material. I don't think the season influences me. I'm simply tired of the same game playing everyday. I want a new outlook--a fresh POV. I want a breath of fresh air. Everything seems tired and old. I liked many of Trump's initial actions, but now either see the inconsistencies foretold to arise in his administration (you point to some above) and/or am sick of the political opposition with their hatred and judicial constipation.

I wrote extensively on my substack about Israel and particularly the actions in Gaza for quite a while. The research has stood me in good stead. I came to the conclusion you did: Hamas is as much apart of the problem as Israel's Zionism.

I knew what is happening in Syria would happen because I've also followed Syria closely over the years. Look at the behavior of countries, both Western and Middle Eastern, since the U.S. invaded Iraq. Look how we chronically support violence in the region. How could anything be a surprise?

Nothing much surprises me anymore because human nature is quite predictable, and the Agenda keeps unfolding no matter who has power.

After a while, you just can't care so much. You know what's right. You know what should be done, but the exact opposite occurs.

After another while, you just have to stop beating your head against a wall. Essentially, most people have zero power. You can gain power by affiliating with a political side and causes if you like. I will acknowledge that many people have made great gains in local government affairs, but I just don't like this time.

I don't like the people. I find their attitudes and beliefs horrendous. I don't know why anyone would key or blow up a Tesla because they don't like Musk. I grew up in equally volatile times, and everyone behaved with courtesy and good manners toward another. I find the times crass, unappealing, and...now...uninteresting.

Maybe you are the guardian angel of the grasshopper and frog? Or maybe they are yours? 😇

I’m not sure which way it goes with the grasshopper and the frog but no creature of either species has before this taken an interest in me. I don’t wake up in the morning with strange critters on my arm that often…

The "right" to Health? How exactly does THAT work?

Although health is a blessing that in no way can be guaranteed, I'd say the mass poisoning campaigns do violate that right...

Yeah - I would re-word that "right". But understand what you're trying to accomplish. So many people sabotage their own health - that cannot be discounted - and then expect "free healthcare" after a life of self abuse. We are responsible for our choices - but when every (for example) food choice is some sort of poison - yeah - it's a problem. When ingredients are hidden and therefore "allowable" - it's a problem. So many examples. That's how medical industry lost our trust.

And then who bought who? Didn't the food industries buy the tobacco companies? After they realized how cigarette companies made their products addictive? It's not the tobacco - it's the additives. Same with food now - it's the additives -- the chemicals they add for flavor, texture -- those are addictive and very unhealthy. Ugh. Very hard to buy real food now. Word games and trickery with ingredients.
