Biden's look changed so often it was often commented on, but I rarely see speculation regarding a potential Trump body double. Something just looks off in this picture to me..

Maybe he was on his way to the hairdresser when that picture was taken, but a body double is probably a good idea for the next four years.

Smiles…great memes as always. We must set the stage for the Western Elites to fight it out. That is the ONLY way things get jostled around enough to make a real difference. And we can’t afford to wait any longer.

Lol I love how you translate Thai into English. I’m sure it’s a beautiful language but you always crack me up for some reason. 🤣

In the case of the conversations above we were all speaking in English! It’s T’English or Thai English as it is called. Some of this is because certain types of words don’t exist in Thai language so if a proper English phrase might be “I’m going to go to the store.” it gets broken down into “I go the store.” I keep the general cadence because it’s how it was said. The translations from Thai to English are usually more proper sounding!

So funny, Amy. I understand your mood although I'm not feeling a spooky season myself.

I've recently encountered spagyric tinctures. I haven't begun my elaborate protocol to stop and hopefully rid my system of nano/spike protein/whatever you want to call it, but they'll form a large part. I have had trouble getting my sleep schedule right. I have since retirement. I used to work night hours which hasn't translated well into retirement hours.

I decided to try Ghost Pipes spagyric. It was interesting. I knew the "spirit" well. I have an intimate connection with Ghost Pipes. You know that feeling when you "know something"...when you have a familiar connection with something, somewhere, or someone? I now know that Ghost Pipes works well for continuous sleep if needed, I would think, e.g., for someone ill and unable to sleep. Much like putting someone into a coma so that they can get well. I need something different to help with changing hours. Unfortunately, the guy I encountered, who looks very good and sources impeccably, is moving across country to where land is cheaper and establishing his home off grid.

His pharmacy will be back in business in a few months. I've stocked up on my detox products.

Just a very interesting experience. It changes your mood, too. Just a thought to put into your mind for the future. Supposedly spagyrics, via alchemical process, incorporates the whole plant or mushroom thereby altering the astral and etheric bodies.

My wife and I were woken by The Storm, thankfully we were miles away.

Trump mentally seems worse compared to when he was president. His jokes aren't as sharp, he speaks slower. He's definitely getting older, but I wonder what they did to him regarding his treatment when he had Covid.

I've noticed a seeming decline in video clips myself. I have always been suspicious of the Trump as Savior angle some of his more hardcore supporters believe. I suspect that they had to change the guard to Biden in 2020 in order to maximize jab intake. If Trump had won the miracle Covid jabs would have branded as Operation Warp Speed by his detractors and they needed both sides onboard. This time they might need Trump to be the bag holder for the economic collapse/Great Taking to commence. Time will tell!

I fully expect booby traps set for him if/before he takes office.

Definitely older. Wiser? I figure he now has a death grip on understanding the depth of the deep state. That and five years as the target of lawfare and literally getting shot at will sober a guy up. (We do think he was literally shot at, don't we? I'm ambivalent.) I have no expectations for him to be the Savior of the World. I just want the Obamites and Clintonistas to go away, like to penitentiaries.

I still ponder the "it's a Big Club and You Ain't in It" lament of George Carlin. It's hard for me to suss out how much of this all is performance theater....

I remember the tsunami very well. I was always listening to talk radio back then, so I heard of it as soon as it happened.

One of the older guys, a coworker in the auto shop I worked at, was retired Navy. He told me that when he was younger, he used to work in Hawaii. He was a tech on P-3 Orion aircraft. He worked on the gyro systems that were used to map where the aircraft had flown.

He said, "I should have never left the Navy. We didn't really do anything except fly around every once in a while, and get paid." He told me that once there was a tsunami warning, and they all went down to the beach to see it! However, when it came, it was like a 7-8 foot wave. Not very impressive. But he told me, "Damn man, we were stupid! After seeing what just happened with the tsunami on the news, we could have all been killed!"

I remember stories of elephants, the ones they use to take people on tours, they were picking people up and taking them to higher ground. The animals instinctively knew what to do.

There was the story of that one little girl Tilly Smith, who was 10 years-old at the time, and had just learned about tsunamis in school. When the tide went way out -- she knew that it was going to be followed by a giant wave. She warned her parents and others not to leave the hotel, and to go to higher floors. As a result 100 or so people were saved.

At the time I was around 25 years-old. I didn’t really know anything about tsunamis, not to where I would recognize the early effects of one. But I have been Boogie Boarding in the ocean here in Florida when a hurricane was off the coast, when the water retracts like that, it’s always followed by a seriously nasty wave. I wouldn’t have known what was going on [a tsunami] but I damn sure wouldn’t have wandered out into that! I would have known a large wave was coming at least. Just not as large as the one that came.

I always am watching the water levels here and had a few nightmares especially during the worst of the monsoon rain regarding being overwhelmed and swept away while we slept. They claim there are tsunami warning systems here now for it of course. One time a tsunami warning was deployed in Venice Beach some hours in advance following some off shore Earthquake. Me and Joe and our baby girl went to the Santa Monica Pier to see it and...it was absolutely indistinguishable from any other wave on the beach that night. I sometimes wonder about the conditions that give rise to these deadly waves versus the more benign ones. Waves in general are a good thing as opposed to still as sea glass water, as that usually indicates a sharp drop off to deeper waters. I'd have a good idea of what to look for but that's assuming it doesn't happen in the middle of the night, say. My younger daughter always told me she didn't want to live on the beach precisely because she was scared of tsunamis. Perhaps she even remembered some of her father's stories of it...

You just never know. In a place that’s on the beach, in an area of the world where tsunamis have happened before, it’s got to be a little unnerving.

I’m in Florida, and I suppose something like that could happen here as well, but I’m further inland. It likely wouldn’t make it this far in.

I remember Florida beaches best for the fact that you couldn't see the beach one block away from the beach because houses or trees or something would block it with the very flat land. This is in contrast to California's and sometimes Thailand's very dramatic rises into mountains which sometimes give way to panoramic ocean views with houses built on hills. Of course then there is a concern of mudslides and erosion taking it back into the sea. I suppose there's always something to contend with no matter where you live!

I saw this in Oregon back in 2015. It was a huge landslide. Because of the trees we saw, it looked like it might have happened just a few days/weeks before we arrived.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cresent+Beach/@45.479731,-123.9695787,320a,35y,357.94h,45.95t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x5494a45939f8ce05:0x10db2b59d4d791e5!8m2!3d45.9132882!4d-123.9701317!16s%2Fg%2F11c54b1s4q?hl=en&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAxMy4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Me and a coworker drove through the Tillamook Forest so we could have a beer on some place along the beach -- but everything there closed at around 8pm! We got there around 8:30.

On the way there, we saw that landslide, and pulled over to look at it. It was MASSIVE, I couldn't imagine being there when that fell in.

There were trees strewn about from where everything fell out from under them. It was pretty wild!

2004 tsunami 🌊 distinctly remember videos. Read haarp nexrad can create tsunamis earthquakes volcanos. Fukushima was speculated.

Great memes the Biden win with that low of counties ??? And and well imo 5 States 3 am ballots from vans stolen election.

Biden Halloween mask changed often? Trump must and it’s been said body doubles. Remember the old commercial you might “Is it Live or Memorex” ?

I borrowed a meme!!

Between prayers sarcasm memes make our current

"They still would have biological advantages in sports though"

Exactly, and this is why we should not allow men to compete in women's sports. I'm especially upset about this happening in cycling, having once been a racer in my youth in the 70s, when there were very few women in the sport. Now there are lots of women cyclists, and letting men into their races threatens to destroy what women have achieved over the recent decades.

The 2004 Tsunami has special significance to my family. My brother-in-law and his partner were living in Thailand (working as English teachers) and I was traveling abroad to visit family, along with wife and two-year-old daughter. My BIL never participated on rescue efforts, but he did the second best thing he could do afterwards. As soon as they could access some of the affected areas, they visited and bought as much local art and wares they could. They eventually brought them back home, and my family proudly owns some masks, craft chopsticks and other wares bought from folks living in the most affected areas. I remember.

Oh's tattoo had a masked figure of the type I think you are referring to on it, one of those half black and half white ones. Economic support for those affected by disaster is extremely important to the larger population, especially if they already were dependant on tourists who might be down in numbers...

The mask is a wooden Thai warrior red/gold gild style. We were very grateful for these gifts; we were really worried on the 26th, because we were not so versed on Thai geography at that time, and really, really worried about their well being. We rarely use the chopsticks, but they came in an exquisitely carved wooden box. May be just touristy stuff, but I appreciate their gesture. Again, I remember...

I want to resist speculating on how this election will turn out, but I enjoy seeing the propagandists squirm and sound more stupid by the day. Do you think the “drones” over Virginia point to a nasty October-surprise or to the Apocalypse? I’m good either way.

Have read many sources say the 2004 tsunami was engineered-----hard to imagine the grief it caused.

I have read a few things regarding the technical feasibility of causing a tsunami with a series of underwater nuclear blasts, but I don't have a link to the main paper I recall on this. This was some scientists more speculating if a tsunami could be caused by human engineering and did not delve into whether the 2004 Asian tsunami WAS caused by human engineering. At one point the idea that they would have caused so many traumatic deaths just to test out a weapons system say would have been beyond the pale of belief. Following on from Covid and the injections, however, it's not off the table.

The scientists concluded that yes, maybe it could be done with a series of well timed charges in coordination with the earthquake. One paper speculated about some odd US military flights in the area as well. The only motivation here would be straight bioweather warfare testing on the planet...

Believe I also read there was trading on the stock market shortly before the tsunami that would not have been made unless someone knew what was coming.
