To mark the 4th anniversary of the passing of his brother Alex Van Halen has given the gift of music to their fans , 6 minutes of never before heard music from Edward and Alex Van Halen simply titled Unfinished - Full Version.

Enjoy.

Trump gets on my nerves as I get tired of listening to him speaking in "circular New York speak." Having said that though I do hope he wins as I think he will try to make America great again unlike the open border communist POS he is fighting against.

Skip to 4:40 to miss the advertisement: Many of you know several parts of this stuff but the video ties the parts of this story together.

Quote:Symbols of Power: Deciphering the Language of the Secret Elite How closely have you looked at the one-dollar bill? You've seen that unfinished pyramid and mysterious eye thousands of times, but have you ever wondered why they're there? These symbols connect to an intricate web of signs that stretches from ancient Egypt through medieval secret societies to today's corridors of power. These aren't meaningless decorations; they are tools of influence and control. From the owl hidden in plain sight to corporate logos to architectural designs, these markers tell a story. They speak directly to your subconscious, shaping your thoughts and behavior without you realizing it. Influencing you to accept their secret plan. But the plan isn't very secret -- when you know how to read the signs.

The following video seems like a serious effort at doom porn with climate change and pollution but, what if some of these thoughts are valid ?

Patents denied that could have meaningfully changed the world, inventors killed because TPTB have the monopoly on certain products and inventions; the video ends up with human reverse engineered UAP/UFOs. A little something for everyone ?

My faith in the goodness of mankind and the way the world actually works is no longer set in stone as other thoughts and events have polluted the school taught paradigm I grew up with. The following video may be all B.S. or "What If ?"

The Military industrial Complex (MIC) has been used and spoken about since Ike gave the complex a name when he was leaving the White House. 

Most of us do not realize just how deeply the MIC is embedded in all we do as a nation. Very short video worth your time..

Full title of the article is : Boeing Suffers $6 Billion Loss in 3rd Quarter, CEO Calls for Fundamental Cultural Changes

This quarter loss was $6.174 billion, compared with a $1.638 billion loss in the previous quarter. IMO it is better to hire by qualifications instead of quotas .

Quote:Boeing reported a massive loss of $6 billion in the third quarter, just hours before a labor vote on Wednesday. The company’s president and CEO, Kelly Ortberg, stated that it needs fundamental changes in its culture to return to the iconic brand it was for decades.

IMO it is about time too !

Quote:For independent-thinkers like myself, there is no home in the Democrat Party. However, there is a home for us in the Republican Party. The Republican Party of warmongering elite Dick Cheney is in the past. Trump’s GOP is a big open tent party of the people, equality, commonsense, and the party that is led by a President who has the courage and strength to fight for peace. Tonight I stood with President Trump and announced I am joining the Republican Party. President Trump is our best and only hope in this election to lead our country toward a future where every one of us can live in a truly free, peaceful, and prosperous nation. Now is the time for us to stand together, vote for Trump and save our country.

I have a question for the Rogues during this spooky Halloween season, "Where do the classic horror story monsters like vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein's monster, et al, come from?"

What is the basis of the classic old haunted house or castle, one that is usually in ruins, that is inhabited by some old eccentric aristocrat from some European family bloodline? Or some mad scientist, that one is pretty classic. I am speaking of Gothic Horror of course, as opposed to slasher or other types of stories.

Just fishing around for opinions on this subject, one I have of my own.

Let's hear what you got Rogues, Inquiring minds want to know.

I finished it! (more or less)

This is not ‘fine furniture”. LOL It is me learning how to do stuff and most will consider it junk.

It can be categorized as farmhouse style, ultra rustic, shabby chic or maybe even faux antique or a vintage reproduction/replica. Whatever it is, is 100% pine and cedar with the later being simple cheap cedar fence pickets that I have run through various degrees of the milling and distressing process and the former being 10” x 6’ pine boards that have been milled, cut and glued together in some places to create 12” shelves and a 16” top.

Even using cheap lumber, materials costs probably run in the ballpark of $400 with around $120 or so just for paint, some of which I didn’t even use and some I have significant leftovers of for future endeavors. I won’t even begin to guess how many hours I have working on this but it was a lot with most of those hours in the scorching Arizona summer heat.

With this being the third actual project other than building shop furniture and doing upgrades, I am still very much in the learning process and have relied heavily on tips and tricks from YouTube woodworkers/makers to learn things I wasn’t sure or didn’t know how to do.

Every tool in my shop, table saw, compound miter saw, jointer, planer, several different routers and multiple sanders along with many hand tools along with hella amounts elbow grease, sweat, tears, cuts, bruises and sore muscles not to mention confusion and being lost at times went into this thing. It is the most complicated and difficult thing I have ever tried to do and while it’s not perfect and a bit rough in places, I am quite pleased with what I have accomplished and will approach my next project with new and better skills and confidence.

Rather than post a bunch of pictures, I put them together in a short video.

Quote:Map Shows US States Where 'Deadly' Whooping Cough Rising

A deadly disease that mostly affects young children is on the rise in the U.S., health officials have warned.
Since 2020, whooping cough cases have increased exponentially. However, these reports have not been evenly spread across the country. "Whooping cough can cause serious and sometimes deadly complications," a spokesperson from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Newsweek.
The disease, also known as pertussis, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis. These bacteria attach to the tiny hairs in our breathing tubes and release toxins that cause our airways to swell. While whooping cough may begin like a common cold, the resulting cough can last for weeks or even months.
