Interesting video about Russia and a possible Civil War. With all the ethnic groups and diverse land areas I am surprised that with what remains of the great strong arm of the Soviet union it has kept the country together as well as it has.

Knowing I had all the ingredients available, I wanted to bake some bread from scratch today. My go-to cookbook is the old Better Homes and Gardens one. I couldn't find that cookbook so I thought I'd jog my memory and look up some basic bread recipes.

I looked at a half dozen recipes, averaged the measure of ingredients, and put together the various directions based on what I remembered from the BH&G Cookbook. The following recipe is what I came up with after baking two loaves just now.

Basic White Flour Bread Recipe


Cooking Implements:

2 bread pans
A large mixing bowl and mixing spoon
A measuring cup
A teaspoon and tablespoon
A rolling pin
A cooking thermometer
A clock, watch, or cooking timer.
A clean surface to work on
An oven large enough to bake two loaves of bread.


Ingredients:

5 cups all-purpose white flour
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 cups warm water not over 110°F
2 - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, vegetable oil or butter
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt


Directions:

Mix the yeast, sugar, and water in the mixing bowl and set aside for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes stir in 2 tablespoons oil, and one teaspoon salt. Now slowly add flour to the liquid and mix
thoroughly until the dough stiffens and pulls away from the bowl.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, flatten it into a circular shape with a rolling pin,
and knead for about 5 minutes.
Knead It by folding the far edge of the dough back over on itself
and pushing it down with the palms of your hands. Rotate and repeat.
Clean the mixing bowl and grease it with a few drops of oil or nonstick baking spray.
Knead the dough again for another few minutes, form it into a ball, then return it to the bowl,
making sure to grease the top of the dough ball.
Cover with a damp towel and keep warm until the dough doubles in size (about 1 hour in a room at 80F).
Punch down the dough with your fists and briefly knead out any air bubbles.
Cut the dough in half & shape it into two loaves (cylinder-shaped with ends pinched down).
Place the loaves in two greased bread pans, cover them with a damp towel,
and keep them in a warm place to rise. Once the dough rises just above the top of the pan (this may take 45 minutes at 80F room temperature), begin baking.
Bake at 400F for about 20 minutes until the loaves are golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow bread to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Total time from start to finish: Around 3 hours.

Don't you just love Globalists?

Quote:We have been expecting the United Nations to fully empower itself from an international cooperative body to an international governing body (world government) for some time. The globalists have dreamed of this, and constitutionalists have feared it for 80 years -- even before the nation rejected the League of Nations after World War I.



They have themselves ever pushed toward that end, making name changes over time that only partially revealed their intent: internationalists, world government, the establishment, New World Order, World Order, and now globalism -- even the Great Reset movement. This is nothing new. It was accomplished Sept. 22-23, 2024, with no Biden Administration, Democrat, RINO, or Deep State media pushback and no vote of the people. It's no longer coming. World Government is here.


It is also not new that the Biden Administration should advance the United Nations government over all nations, ending the sovereignty of nations, especially our own, as preserved in our constitution. Biden was always a prominent globalist, even publishing his loyalty to it in 1992 ("How I Learned to Love The New World Order," by Senator Joe Biden, June 16, 2021, LibertyUnderFire.org ). Today, virtually all globalists in America are Democrats or RINOS.


World globalists have always viewed a nation's sovereignty as their enemy and wanted the World Health Organization Treaty to give them power over nations, but it was defeated. The vehicle they use to destroy national sovereignty is the World Health Organization (WHO), and the issue used is fear of a pandemic. The word used is emergency. What can't be portrayed as an emergency? This time, they took their request for more power to the UN General Assembly on Sept. 22-23. The United Nations adopted a 66-page document called "The Pact for the Future." It was passed through a new procedure called the "Silence Procedure.''


This procedure made it a pact. If no one objected enough to argue against it, it was on the record as automatically adopted. Apparently, 193 countries, including the United States, expressed no objection. The problem is that without defining an emergency, the UN gets to decide what an emergency is, which gives it unlimited power. National sovereignty is destroyed. A world government, with the only limitations being those it imposes on itself, rules.


Congressional warning of the United Nations' intent to unilaterally end national sovereignty came only from Republicans. They gathered on the grounds of the Capitol, hoping the national media (mostly controlled by the Deep State) would cover them. Party leaders intentionally did so on September 17, Constitution Day, the anniversary of our signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787, which brought freedom from excessive government to us and those nations modeling it. Our constitution governs this nation and is a gift from God that cannot be trumped by government. Unless resisted -- and Biden/Harris did not -- what happened at the UN is a fatal blow to freedom and our constitution.


Some remarks regarding this mostly secret UN empowerment follow: Congressman Bob Good of Virginia reminded those on the grounds of the Capitol that President Trump had pulled us out of the WHO because it was working for world government, which Joe Biden reinstated and today fully supports. Good quoted from a chapter in the 66-page document "Summit for the Future's" website "called 'On transforming global governance ascending beyond the powers being sought by a subordinate agency,' the WHO, the UN is seeking even broader and more powerful authority," adding "they seek to facilitate the evolution of the UN from an international cooperative body to an international governing body." He said, "The American people didn't vote for this, and they don't support this."


Congressman Ralph Norman, South Carolina, "called on Donald Trump to 'draw out' of Kamala Harris 'whether or not she supports world government, and if she doesn't, for her to disavow what the Biden administration is doing right now to try to bring it about.'"
An unnamed congressman said, "They want to cede our sovereignty over to the United Nations and, in particular, the World Health Organization." He spoke of our annual assessments of $850 million to the WHO "to become enslaved to them." We need out.

 Why? "Because the World Health Organization has become captured by 'our international adversary, China.'" And, "We can't give up any more of our sovereignty."


Congressman Ronnie Jackson voiced what everyone probably felt: "With regard to the United Nations, I said it before, and I'll say it again. I think the best thing we can do for the United Nations is to go to New York and push the entire thing off into the East River."


Yet another unnamed Congresswoman said, "They are going to approve a platform, an emergency platform that will operationalize automatically. What does it mean to operationalize automatically? It means that once they have passed it through the United Nations, they don't have to ask other countries to approve it. They will just go forward with their protocols."


Another unnamed congressman identified likely emergencies to follow: "Pandemics, high impact events involving a biological agent, disruptions to global flows of goods, people or finance, disruptive activity in cyberspace, or disruption to global digital connectivity, major events in outer space, or black swan events." This leads to their getting "involved pretty much whenever and wherever they want to" (House Republicans Rally Against --The UN & World Health Organization to protect American Sovereignty, live press conference on Capitol grounds, Sept. 17, 2024). Countries, as ruling governments, will become virtually obsolete.


Welcome to the Deep State's New World Order. Everyone on Earth is controlled. Sounds like Lucifer's plan that made him a dark angel -- an enemy of God and man.

Rare ‘Monkey-Eating’ Philippine Eagle: One of the World’s Largest Birds With Blue-Gray Eyes and They Mate for Life

The Philippine eagle (Pithecopaga jefferyi) is the largest in the world, and it snacks on monkeys. With its unique blue-gray eyes this apex predator can spot prey as far as 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) away. And this magnificent bird of prey is incredibly rare, with only 392 pairs left in existence.
This deadly hunter stands 3 feet (approx. 1 meter) tall—the average size of a 3-year-old human child—and has a wingspan of 7 feet (2.1 meters), just short of the length of a Mini Cooper car. The eagle’s dagger-like talons mean it can easily swoop down and carry off prey, including monkeys, little pigs, and small dogs.
Described as the country’s top predator, the Philippine eagle lives across four islands: Leyte, Luzon, Mindanao, and Samar, with the majority living in the rugged jungle habitat of Mindanao, according to EDGE of Existence.

Their blue-gray eyes are not just for pretty effect; the Philippine eagle can see eight times better than humans. Their hunting range can cover a massive 40 square miles (approx. 64 square kilometers), and they’re able to reach maximum speeds of 100 kilometers per hour (approx. 62 miles per hour).

Quote:Biden-Harris DOJ Sues Virginia For Removing Noncitizens From Voter Rolls – Gov. Glenn Youngkin Responds
by Cristina Laila Oct. 11, 2024 6:20 pm

Governor Glenn Youngkin
The Justice Department on Friday announced it is suing the state of Virginia for removing non-citizens from its voter rolls.
“The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia, Virginia State Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections to challenge a systematic state program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA),” the DOJ announced.
“Section 8©(2) of the NVRA, also known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete systematic programs aimed at removing the names of ineligible voters from voter registration lists no later than 90 days before federal elections. The Quiet Period Provision applies to certain systematic programs carried out by states that are aimed at striking names from voter registration lists based on a perceived failure to meet initial eligibility requirements — including citizenship — at the time of registration,” the DOJ said.
“As the National Voter Registration Act mandates, officials across the country should take heed of the law’s crystal clear and unequivocal restrictions on systematic list maintenance efforts that fall within 90 days of an election,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “By cancelling voter registrations within 90 days of Election Day, Virginia places qualified voters in jeopardy of being removed from the rolls and creates the risk of confusion for the electorate. Congress adopted the National Voter Registration Act’s quiet period restriction to prevent error-prone, eleventh hour efforts that all too often disenfranchise qualified voters. The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy and the Justice Department will continue to ensure that the rights of qualified voters are protected.”
The lawsuit comes two months after Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin ® issued an executive order that codifies election security procedures to protect the 2024 election against intentional fraud.
Governor Youngkin’s policies include:
** We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody.
** We use counting machines, not voting machines, that are tested prior to every election and never connected to the internet.
** We do not mass mail ballots.
** We monitor our drop boxes 24/7.
** We verify the legal presence and identity of voters using DMV data and other trusted data sources to update our voter rolls daily.
Governor Glenn Youngkin responded to the DOJ’s lawsuit:

Quote:With less than 30 days until the election, the Biden-Harris Department of Justice is filing an unprecedented lawsuit against me and the Commonwealth of Virginia, for appropriately enforcing a 2006 law signed by Democrat Tim Kaine that requires Virginia to remove noncitizens from the voter rolls – a process that starts with someone declaring themselves a non-citizen and then registering to vote. Virginians – and Americans – will see this for exactly what it is: a desperate attempt to attack the legitimacy of the elections in the Commonwealth, the very crucible of American Democracy. With the support of our Attorney General, we will defend these commonsense steps, that we are legally required to take, with every resource available to us. Virginia’s election will be secure and fair, and I will not stand idly by as this politically motivated action tries to interfere in our elections, period.

Very informative interview about the now and the future of America

It takes a certain type of creator to come up with this kind of dark Humor. I am not saying this is funny just very visually entertaining in a sick kinda way..

At least some of these poor souls went on to live a remarkable life and earn money without being a "States Ward!"
