THE BETRAYAL OF MCCONNELL REPUBLICANS
American patriots choose liberty but the 19 Republicans in the Senate chose tyranny.
Biden chooses tyranny and every single Democrat lockstep is for tyranny. How many people know what’s in that 2,700 page Infrastructure Hoax that just passed yesterday (8/10), with the 19 Republicans?
These Republican senators — I blame them. They are the Madoffs of the Republican Party. These are McConnell Republicans.
They think they’re doing something for the people, they are destroying our currency, they are destroying our finances, they are destroying our economy, they are destroying our country.
PROTECTIVE RESUMPTION – HOW STATES CAN RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOMS
The COVID pandemic has witnessed the exercise of state “police powers” on a scale and scope unprecedented in America’s peacetime history.
Out of fear of contagion, massive amounts of private property in the form of shops, restaurants, bars, and other businesses were peremptorily seized and shuttered. The rights of landlords to collect rents and evict tenants were suspended. The ability of people to cross from one state to another was hobbled by regulations, quarantines, and delays.
The purpose here is to point out what such robust assertions of police powers could achieve, constitutionally and politically, if put to different and more legitimate ends—protecting Americans’ health and safety against what predictably ensues when the federal government abandons one of its primary charges.
We propose calling this the Doctrine of Protective Resumption.
IT’S TIME TO RESIST
Resist!
They can’t arrest us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones they should.
We don’t have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can simply say no, not again.
WHY ARENT CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS IMPEACHING BIDEN RIGHT NOW?
Capitol Hill Cowards
"You always know the mark of a coward. A coward hides behind freedom. A brave person stands in front of freedom and defends it for others." —Henry Rollins
We all know that the Democrats fight dirty; always have, always will. The Republicans, on the other hand, just sit back and let them lie, cheat, and steal as if it would be rude to call them out for their crimes. They seem to delight in being known as the polite party.
As a result, the Democrats plowing them under with glee. Their cowardice has got to be stopped, and impeachment proceedings begun of the most traitorous presidency in our history.
RUNWAY ABLE
It is a profoundly somber experience to stand here on this abandoned weed-strewn airstrip. For this is Runway Able on Tinian Island in the Northern Marianas, where 76 years ago, on August 6, 1945, a B-29 nicknamed Enola Gay piloted by Capt. Paul Tibbets took off with Little Boy in its bomb bay bound for Hiroshima – and three days later on August 9, a B-29 nicknamed Bockscar piloted by Maj. Charles Sweeney flew off with Fat Boy in its bomb bay headed for Nagasaki.
As a consequence, on August 15, Emperor Hirohito announced the surrender of Japan to America. Here is where World War II was won, and the Nuclear Age begun.
This lost bit of tarmac is the most consequential airstrip on earth. Be prepared for a deep complex of swirling emotions if you ever stand here yourself. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #14 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
THE WELL OF JOB
We’re all familiar with the sufferings of Job in the Old Testament’s Book of Job. But what happened to Job after his sufferings were ended? All the OT says is that, with his health and riches restored, he lived long enough to see his great-great grandchildren.
The OT says Job lived in the “Land of Uz,” which was “beyond the Euphrates.” That would place it in modern day Iraq. There is no connection between this Hebraic name and the land of Uzbekistan – meaning the Land of Uzbeks, a Turkic people. Yet the Silk Road city of Bukhara in today’s Uzbekistan is thousands of years old.
Jews have lived in Bukhara for 3,000 years, although almost all have emigrated now (some 150,000 Bukharan Jews live in Israel). Thus it is a very ancient legend that during a terrible drought in Bukhara, Job visited the city and struck the ground with his staff – causing a spring of healing water to gush from the ground, and continues to do so today.
A shrine was built around the spring – the Well of Job – and the water is clear and drinkable. One of the many extraordinary experiences in what we call Hidden Central Asia. We’ll be here again next May. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #114 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

It is so easy to lose your mind with all the Vax Insanity swirling around us. But TTPers are not interested in whining about problems – they are interested in solutions to them. That’s what TTP does its best to provide. So here we go.
Today we focus on your own personal protection and options.
FLASHBACK FRIDAY – CANNIBAL TREEHOUSE
August 1977. High in the mountains above the source of the April River, a tributary of the Sepik in Papua New Guinea, I had a First Contact with an undiscovered tribe calling themselves the Wali-ali-fo. They ate “man long pig,” cooked human meat and lived in thatch dwelling built up in trees. Here I am in one with my Sepik guide Peter who got me here.
Peter translated a description of their practice: “When a man dies, we take a pig to his wife and exchange it for the body of the man. We take the body out into the forest and…cook ‘im eat ‘im. We do this so the man will continue to live in the bodies of his friends.”
Not something we’ll do but something we can understand, yes? These are people we could laugh and joke with, tell stories with, enjoy being with. A very different culture, but human all the same. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #148 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
SAFETY FIRST!
HALF-FULL REPORT 08/06/21
Odds are growing we’ll get a Schadenfreudelicious Two-fer this week – the political demise of America’s most disgusting governor and the media demise of his obnoxious brother.
No sympathy anywhere for Prince Andrew, while Fox shed crocodile tears for Fredo this morning (8/06). Chrissie-pie earned his infamous sobriquet when he had a total meltdown two years ago over a Trump supporter calling him “Fredo,” the weak, cowardly nebbish brother of Michael Corleone in The Godfather. He’s a jerk.
His brother is not just a jerk – he’s murderously evil, nicknamed for good reason “The Butcher of Albany” and “Governor Death.” Ereyesterday (8/04), The Onion satire site ran a marvelously brutal takedown of him: Cuomo Increasingly Desperate To Shift Focus Back Onto Nursing Home Deaths. Yet there could be something far more infernal at work.
