The measles vaccine was developed, implemented, and protected most humans long before the current crop of liars, deceivers, and greedy rulers let loose with the mRNA tool. Which is used by the HIV pathogen. Both involving Lord Fauci.
But the measles vaccine predated that evil.

We were best friends and got engaged as I was headed from one coast to another. We married six weeks later. 45 years ago. Not sure if that was the right way to do it. Who knows whether it will last, eh?
Ol' Joe blocked the sale of 24,000 AR-15's to Israel. He is concerned that the 1/2 million Israelis in West Bank settlements would have the ability to defend themselves against the 2 1/2 million palestinians there.
This is how he feels about Americans, as well. He wants chaos.
@hillbillythings
Involve that child. More will be learned from your attitude, expression, and behavior than you could ever imagine. Use a harness and leash if you must. That youngster is more important to you than boxes properly packed. HAVE FUN ...
@Songbird70x7
Bet there's plenty wishing it was a whirlwind for their future!
The portrait exudes an intense and unpretentious reality. No wonder why there are so many compliments.
@SWENGDAD
Was there for years. Men seldom accuse women of misbehavior. There are women, however, who are just looking for a reason to blame one man or another for how much their lives suck. So the men I knew locked it up. No laughter. No mentoring. Virtually no personality.
@5Solas2
That it was possible that I could "get someone saved". Not just witness. Not just give God glory in all things. But actually SAVE people. The arrogance.
@emilykmay
Similar, but not same.
45+ years. Bought and, ultimately, paid for HER home. Filled with HER stuff. Vehicles owned. Her charity work tools and contributions funded. All that we have is hers. (except weapons)
Lesson? Not every situation has to be dangerous.
@SWENGDAD
Not sure she was MORE beautiful. But her value to me soared like one of those legendary IPO's. The Queen got a much more impressive crown during those times.
@Songbird70x7
No. Not red-headed who wear glasses. Hair color and glasses are very poor proxies for predicting and causing fascinating and intelligent women. Fascinating and intelligent women have a much higher forces compelling their uniqueness. Congratulations on being one of those very few.
@TheEcho13
Wives are women, too. (they notice) Phones are a proxy for all that distracts us from the truly beautiful people and activities in our lives. For some, the TV. For some, work. Gardening, hobbies, etc. can all be excuses for not taking the time to focus on our loved ones.
@5Solas2
Nope. But exclusionary assertions are more divisive than propositional assertions. I have to duck the excrement to finish reading your posts. Not fun.
@24tog
Never ask a Texan how many head of cattle he has?
Never ask your server how many degrees she has?
Never ask your lawyer how many felony convictions they have?
Somehow I suspect in this post-modern era, all formalities have been lost in the shuffle...
@godlywomanhood
Similar. Married two weeks after graduation. Clueless but same values. Had nothing. Crossed the nation. Though a commissioned officer, pumped gas after hours for a little cash flow. Still lovers and best friends after 45 years.
@thetexasbird
Is shopping for groceries a relationship transaction?
Is kissing a transaction?
Is watching a movie together a transaction?
Why are we having this conversation? Are we "transacting"?
As a reminder, riding a merry-go-round doesn't count as "getting somewhere".

Men: don't demand the uncomfortable.
Women: don't deny based on emotion only - deny only if there's a damn good physical reason.
But withholding for emotional reasons is your thing - expect him to walk, sooner or later.
@614clinton
Yup. No TV. No shoes. No phones (anywhere). Every boy had a dog (mostly nondescript brand). If you died, you better resurrect yourself pronto or you would get into serious trouble. Swimming holes were dangerous and fun. The shorts you wore were the shorts you swam in.
@ArnotbUp
A civil war is some citizens against other citizens.
A revolution is citizens replacing bad rulers with worse rulers.
To which are you referring?
@_evelynrae
Women at first glance and at a distance look awesome. Closer inspection over time tends to eliminate many of them from that high position.
Men at first glance and at a distance look despicable and repulsive. Closer inspection over time tends to ...
Never mind. I was wrong.
@WSkies08
Heaven, we hope. And hope mitigates the tragedy of losing such devotion and constant companionship. All of our past pets are up there having a good chase and wrestle waiting for our arrival. Soli Deo Gloria.
@JosephFordCotto
Gaetz. Harsh. Principled. Even vicious. But, for the deserving folks and cause: compassionate.
McCarthy is just avarice painted with fading conservative lacquer. Like many politicians and bureaucrats.
@D_B_Harrison
I will be accused of being a racist for just noticing blacks are way overrepresented in these events. Just remember God made all men equal in His sight and all have original sin. However, LBJ was the protagonist in relegating the black community to sub-human status.

@wiz_political
One of the most despicable tasks I had as an RN in MedSurg was a morbidly obese patient with an infection under the foreskin of a tiny little member. I had to figure a way to obtain purchase (a grasp) and hold..whatever...and apply anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. Ugh.
See post.
@BrunusCutis
The language and structure of Revelation is not always literal but metaphorical and paradigmatical. We are not intended to KNOW the future. Based on other parts of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, many won't recognize when prophecy is fulfilled. But God reigns. Forever.
@riseofmen
I would think most real men would be asking the question "How can I help this awesome new mother who is mine for life?" After those whole 9 months of hormonal, metabolic, and physiological chaos, a little peace, quietness, and expressed happiness to her seems wise, no?
@TheEcho13
Ah, but awesome spouses, empirically speaking, make each other beautiful over the decades. Just went to her 50th class reunion. I was the envy of all the guys. They all said I sure got lucky. 🙂
@stiletoprincess
Could it be the influence of culture, ethnicity, and class structure? Frat guy, Summa Cum Laude, science, law, hugely accomplished parents, religious to a fault, entrepreneur, hedge funds, venture capital. "It's only words and words are all I have to take your heart away".
@TheEcho13
It's another version, like all the letters in LGBTQxyz, of not just denying but opposing the creative intent of humanity. Not just avoiding having kids and quietly going on with a self absorbed life, but actively engaged in the pride of self and promoting it. Opposing nature.
@22liv22
Though the world be filled with lies, we endure because there remains a framework of truth. Where reality is, from time to time, admitted and used to resolve the untenable.
Imagine living where there is no truth to find, know, or follow.
@lyssasphere
I stared hard at the image above until it began to move. It rose from the screen and enveloped my head and extracted all of my evil thoughts. It then turned red and black and sentenced me to the life of a unicorn in the Vatican. When I cleared my head, the image above was gone.
@Kathy_Arizona
Has she not yet been plugged into the wall socket? Has nobody turned on the light switch? Or is the darkness enveloping our nation insufficiently dark to see the 0.01 lumens from her filament?

Latent heats of evaporation and condensation.
The energy released/absorbed into/from the surrounding environment when the refrigerant gas/liquid is pressured/depressurized to liquid/gas. Separating the environments enables the forced movement of thermal energy.
Trump has the experience, history, and chutzpah.
DeSantis has the resolve, the focus, and the wisdom to end the reign of terror under the current pharma-gov't cabal.
I feel bad Trump got duped by Lord Fauci/Eve Brix and just didn't "follow the money" to see what was happening.

@atensnut
Nope. Old Navy ATF I drove walked like a bad date. But only with no way on. With way on, the water moving over the rudder completely dominates. The vessel was at 8-9 knots. The rudder was providing the change of heading.
@BumpstockBarbie
In 1913, the 17th Amendment granted the voters in each state elected Senators directly.
Before that, Senators were chosen by each state's legislature to serve as representatives of each STATE's interests, uniquely different from the interests of the popular electorate.
@TheEcho13
I am a man. Real certain of that. I really don't know what the "manosphere" is. Sure, I've seen references to it, usually disparaging. But it's identity, purpose, and character is unknown. Still, I'm pretty sure I don't need it. I wonder how many (real) men believe the same.
Old one but still worth a face plant. Dude is either a bold faced liar or his shoulder is toothpicks held together with rubber bands. Since he is a liberal, the odds are about 50/50. His "disorientation" and "sickness" were already there. And PTSD is after 6 months.
@SpiritedSparr0w
Few of us are born beautiful. Even less of us have the luck and intensity to become wealthy. But a light hearted humility can produce laughter and a continuous curiosity can produce interesting conversation. Both achievable by most, even some dolts like me, right?
@SWENGDAD
Bicycle lanes in the Netherlands. Because they care about both cyclists and drivers. Takes intentional and courageous policymakers, not simps on the take.
@Texas_Made67
Early indicator. Also test market for positions, policies, and problematic statements. The shallow end of the pool for your first swim test.
So this guy is involved with religious studies and he's an atheist?
Maybe like a scientist in a virological lab who is antivaccine?
Possibly like John Kerry, taking personal jets all around the world to fight anthropogenic climate change?
Antithetical. Hypocritical. Incoherent.
The same people that want to put Bibles in schools are the same people who want to remove ‘overtly sexual’ books from libraries.
Did you all even read the Bible?
@TheEcho13
Projection. A young Italian heritage junior officer who worked for me was, at 5'4", taller than anyone else in his company. Fact. Funny fact, though. Bold spirit. Indominable confidence.
Putting imaginaryVP Kah Mah Lah in charge of something (like ending 2A rights given by God) ensures:
1) virtue has been sufficiently signaled, and
2) the effort, like all others she has lead, will fail
@cagrown5
Holidays apart suck. We've been apart about 20% of our holidays due to deployments, war, business, and extended family needs. So the holidays together always have this discussion of the times we missed; adds to the value of being together.
@cl_collinss
No Gazan is completely innocent of Jew hatred. Anything else is a denial of the last several decades. They have hostages which were civilians, not military prisoners of war. They have rocket launchers in schools, mosques, and hospitals. Nope. Sorry. All Gazans are complicit.
@Songbird70x7
I left earlier than that last night. 3:03 a.m.
The big beast needed to go out.
I was back, luckily, by 3:12 a.m.
I was even allowed to get back the warmth I'd lost while chillin' outside.
@thanightskyy03
Nature. Which was created. To demonstrate God's glory. We like the way our lovers smell ... Because ... It glorifies God. Yep. That's it. That's the answer. And it might be the most fundamentally sound answer you'll ever get. <smiling>
Al-Shifa Hospital currently under attack.
Didn't need to be. (October 7th)
Doesn't need to be. (Return the hostages)
Many think hospitals should not be wartime targets.
(Is that why Hamas hides under them?)
This won't end well.
The choice is genocide of either Gazans or Israelis.
@IsabellaMDeLuca
There are several far more important and differentiating qualities in women taking precedence over "body count".
Sometimes the top card in a new deck is just the thing.
Other times the final pocket wherein the Roulette ball rests is just perfect.

It's a multi-lateral crime syndicate where common sense is subordinated to fear mongering and expensive, dangerous solutions paid for "by others".

Inconclusive. Poorly written. But it does beg the question: "Is an expressly written operator, in this case the sign for divided, higher priority or lower priority than an inferred operator, one that is not in ink and is understood to mean multiplied."
@Diane_Jackson7
Along the way.
Before that, I finished my BSci. Physics with a slide rule (pictured below).
Swore off computers (rooms full of blinking lights) and then later spent half a career with Hewlett-Packard.
Life is strange.
p-n junctions changed the world.

@lanechanged
The concept of "the divine right of kings" imbues many an arrogant person with feelings of sacrifice, holiness, magnificence, and patriarchal grace. Lord Fauci does NOT think he is a tyrant but a benefactor of many. He's blind to the suffering he has caused. Not to his wealth.
@HeavenScent88
The Ostrich Theory. If you bury your head in the sand, you cannot possibly see any curvature, any rotational motion, any differential star movement across the night sky, or any change of seasons. And your butthole makes for a bad telescope.
@LangmanVince
1st realization was masks. Physics (mask holes around 50 μm) and microbiology (virus particles around .12 μm).
2nd was mRNA. Biology. HIV uses reverse transcriptase to back mRNA segments into DNA.
3rd was EUA. Pharma-Gov't collusion for mutual profit. Fear for payoffs.
@mtntallpaul
Is NOT punishing criminal behavior a disease?
Will we fund THAT research?
Are self-righteousness, moral superiority, and false virtuosity diseases?
Because those conditions are truly getting others killed.
@tompawnbadil
Hate: despise, ignore, dissociate, etc.
Amazing how godless folks kill the babies in the womb, farm out their care, trust a perverse state for daycare, set horrific standards of conduct, grant every wish of youngsters, and protect them from accountability for their actions.
Hate.
@cagrown5
Foods and nutrition. Sugars and synthetics. Technology and sedentary habits. Google and declining curiosity. Social divisions and crime. Distance no longer mitigates stress of conflict. All of these contribute to obesity and behavioral pathologies.
@lyssasphere
This is a truly fantastic question.
Recognize the importance and influence of turning things OFF.
Share information on just what consumes energy and mineral resources.
What contributes to non-biodegradable debris.
What our pride and privilege has to do with wasting our world.
@theheroinehunky
Men who really love women (specifically their own wife) do not disparage nor disrespect the extremely difficult job of growing and developing the next generation. While making it look relatively easy.
CNN says only a dozen Jews left in Egypt. I wonder how many Egyptians are "left in Israel"? The Council on Foreign Relations says about 2 million Arabs live in Israel but doesn't address Egyptians within that number.
