THE WAGES OF SCOTUS COWARDICE
Karma’s a *****, isn’t it, John? Right now, there’s a mob of pro-abortionists clogging up the street in front of Chief Justice John Roberts’ home in McLean, Virginia.
The same is happening at the homes of Justices Alito, Barrett, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Thomas. Not only is there a federal law making it a felony to protest outside the home of a federal judge -- Title 18 of the U.S. Code, section 1507 – the Biden White House is publicly encouraging such “peaceful protests.”
This might be a good time for Clarence Thomas to give Roberts a call to remind him of the Chief Justice’s fateful words to his colleagues on December 10, 2020: “Are you going to be responsible for the rioting if we hear this case?”
NINE TERRIFYING CONSEQUENCES OF OVERTURNING ROE V WADE
A super spy descended from the ceiling and stole the Supreme Court's majority opinion that would overturn Roe v Wade and leaked it to the press. Dozens of people across the nation are furious because this will "ruin my weekend murder plans!"
Here are just a few of the terrifying consequences of Roe being overturned:
1) You’ll carry your child to term and have the miraculous, joyful, and beautiful experience of giving birth while your life is enriched and filled with meaning: Who could want that? UUUGGGHHH!
2) All women will be issued Handmaid's Tale outfits and then it will be really hard to find your wife at the mall: Super inconvenient!

A CUP OF YAK BUTTER TEA IN A TIBETAN NOMAD TENT
At 14,000 feet, Tibetan nomads called Drogpa set their summer encampment for their yak herds to graze on green pastures. You find them with difficulty in the remote Himalayan highlands of the Kingdom of Lo. They are happy to welcome you into their home, a single large tent of black yak wool, and serve you a cup of delicious yak butter tea.
It is a rare privilege to be with these people and experience their ancient way of life. It is something we strive to do on our Himalaya Helicopter Expeditions. I took this picture last week. Here is their home from the outside. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #203 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
WHERE JESUS WAS BORN
The exact spot where Jesus was born is marked by this 14-pointed silver star with the Latin inscription Hic De Virgine Maria Jesus Christus Natus Est- "Here Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary."
This is in a cave known as The Grotto of Nativity, enshrining the traditional site of the manger in Bethlehem, over which the Church of the Nativity was built, originally by Constantine the Great after his mother St. Helena visited the Holy Land and confirmed the site in 326.
It is only appropriate to commemorate what happened here over 2,000 years ago on Christmas Day. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #107 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
NINA THE FASCIST FRUITCAKE
You read about Nina Jankowicz in Mike Ryan’s exceptional HFR last Friday. Now you get to take a look at her. Pretty horrifying isn’t she, like AOC on acid and with half the brains (which AOC hasn’t much of).
The young woman (she’s 33) is flat out nuts, an absolute fascist fruitcake. Here she is on a Tik Tok video demonstrating what an expert she is in “disinformation” with an impression of Mary Poppins –
BUCKET LIST IRELAND
Unless you’ve already fully explored Ireland to your satisfaction, the Emerald Isle has to be on your bucket list. I’ll bet when you think of Ireland, there’s a wistful twinkle in your eye. There’s so much magical gloriousness here inspiring you to make Ireland a part of you for the rest of your life.
So now’s the time to experience Ireland as you’ve dreamed of doing, by joining Rebel and me with a small group of your fellow TTPers on our Ireland-Dream-2022-Sep-01-to-10.
One thing that needs to be stressed: Ireland is back to pre-Covid normal. Arriving passengers into Ireland no longer require passenger locator forms, proof of valid vaccination, a negative RT-PCR/Antigen test, nothing. Just book your ticket, fly to Dublin, and Rebel and I will be there to greet you.
Carpe diem, we’re off to Ireland…
KEEPING YOUR SANITY WITH POSITIVE SUBTRACTION
Had my parents not changed the routine that year, Sue and I might never have met; we never would have been married, we would never have had our kids, and the life we know would be different in so many ways it’s hard to fathom.
It's pretty remarkable if you think about it, that two people ever meet. But people do, and we did. If you're married, it might be worth considering there’s a chance the two of you might never have met.
Doing this deliberately can also make you happier. Here’s how and why. Oh, I’ve also added a short essay of Jack’s at the end. Even though he wrote it on TTP 17 years ago, he describes another method of “positive subtraction.”
RUSSIAN SHAME DAY
And with the even more glaring fact that it was a war it was badly losing.
Which is why, in so many places around the world, there were protests and demonstrations today calling it Russian Shame Day – as in New York City’s Times Square:
FLASHBACK FRIDAY – THE MAGIC OF TASSILI
February, 2003. In the deepest hidden heart of the Sahara Desert where Algeria, Libya, and Niger come together, there is a high uninhabited plateau called the Tassili n’Ajjer. It is one of the most magical places on the planet – gigantic rock pillars and arches in spectacular abstract shapes, a forest of 2,000 year-old trees from when the Sahara was once green, the greatest profusion of prehistoric rock art on earth many thousand years old.
This is my son Jackson when we trekked and camped here at age 10. He’ll be guiding our next expedition here with me next January, for it is now safe and secure again. Come with us to have one of the most magically unforgettable experiences of your life. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #122 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
