Dear friends,

Hi there. Been awhile. I apologize for my absence.

I feel that an explanation is owed, particularly to those who have reached out, and that offering one will provide some degree of catharsis for me. So here is my candid propitiation.

It was a necessary sabbatical, albeit not quite the outright reprieve from struggles and stressors that I was desiring and perhaps am still in some need of.

I've gotten many messages asking where and how I am. Kind messages that remind me to not stay inside my shell for too long, that I am not alone, and that when I am gone, I am missed. Those kind messages mean more to me than I can articulate here. Thank you. Long-time readers and listeners will recall that I have wrestled with addiction, depression, and various other ailments of the body and of the soul. I found myself battling those things again recently. Depression specifically.

I was on the edge of that dark abyss in October, pushed there by various frustrations, miasmic thoughts, and just generally allowing myself to wonder towards a depressed space. Much to my regret, this came through in my on-stream appearances and in my posting.

Some close friends suggested to me that perhaps I should take a break. I ought to have taken them up on that. I did not, and so nature intervened.

For the past two weeks, I've been sick off and on with a head or chest cold. My wife and kids, too. We just can't quite overcome it. Worse, though, one of our puppies ate something, which caused him to get critically ill. We nearly lost him. He's currently hospitalized, but we are hoping to have him home today. Given the unhealthy, out-of-balance mental state I was in leading up to this, I tumbled into depression, the real cause of my absence, and am crawling out of that pit now.

So that's where I have been. It's a familiar place to me, unfortunately, in most respects but not all. I'm actually thankful for the battle because the weapons or tools that I have equipped myself with in order to avoid and, when needed, escape depression serve me well in many areas.

Those tools are cognitive calibration through stoicism, therapy through meaningful music, sanctuary in the love of family and friends, and the foundational understanding that there is a God and that He has gifted us an existence as well as purposed us for this time, this era.

From time to time I forget where I've placed those tools and have to go searching for them.

: )

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yep pretty much that right now.

How is this even a thing? That's right. Pedos use virtuous to describe themselves. 🖕

Oh FFS; wtaf is wrong with the Loudoun County Public Schools administration? I'm sure errybody remembers it was LCPS that tried to cover up how girls were being raped in their schools' bathrooms by boys who self ID as girls, yes?

So you'd think LCPS would avoid doubling down on the self ID/bathroom sitch but no; they're goin all in on making it worse and the kids, boys and girls alike, are fed up to the point of staging a walkout yesterday. Let's make some noise for these kids, please; they need our support.

“I would like to be able when I get off football practice and go put my pads away and change not feel uncomfortable with other genders in there watching me,” another male student told 7News. “I feel that girls feel the same way about the situation. How would you feel if you were a female changing with a male?”

“It's a massive safety risk, and they [LCPS] don't do anything about it,” the female student told 7News. “And we express these concerns and they ignore us and write us off as right-wing crazies. We're not crazy. We just don't want to be in danger on a daily basis in this building. I think it's people finally stepping up and just being sick of it. We're sick of being here and just being completely ignored. I stopped using them [the bathrooms] because I don't know what's going to happen to me in there. And people can be like, 'Oh, well, that's paranoid'...We don't use the bathrooms. We hold our pee until we can't. I mean, there are girls in PE [Physical Education class] who still get changed in the bathroom stalls in there because they're afraid of who might waltz in.”

7News has heard from students at Woodgrove High School who wanted to participate in the student walkout Wednesday morning to restore girls-only and boys-only bathrooms and locker rooms, but the students were discouraged by their teachers.

The Oversight Committee has released 2 checks worth $240,000 that was money laundered straight to the Big Guy himself.

Joe Biden sold his office to foreign adversaries. He is compromised and so is America.

Joe Biden must be impeached!

🚨NEW VIDYA TIME!🚨

It’s been way too long since I’ve made an original video, and I hope y’all like this one.

We’ve all had the hell kicked out of us. We are all weary and beaten down. But one truth shall always remain - God is with us. With God at our side, we cannot fail. Set aside your worries and fears and just trust God.

God bless and Godspeed, frens. 🙏🏻🐸👊🏻

This AGP incel fookwit decided it was a great day for mansplaining how to be a lesbian. To lesbians. And it's going over about like you'd expect.

Amazingly, this madness isn't exclusive to lesbians; gay men hear similar arguments from young women led to believe they'd be well-received by gay men after they transitioned.

It's a really sick cult.

Apparently, a pre-requisite to being a member of the deep state is possessing the inability to traverse stairs without incident. 😂🤣😂

And yes - I’ve put my own flair on this video. Enjoy! 🤭

And here we go.

Biden now has a choice:

Support Israel, which he has promised, and leave Ukraine flapping in the breeze

Or

Veto funding for Israel which will get him raked over the coals.

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t.

We knew the damned part already.

They asked Johnson what his worldview was, and he responded, “Read the Bible.” Amazing.

So much to unpack here.

Eric Adams has been oddly MAGA at times, even parroting Trump once in a while. I’ve pointed that out.

Adams cancelled a visit with Biden yesterday. I suspect he refused to play ball.

Turkey is off the reservation on Israel and has economic ties to BRICS and Russia. Biden just announced sanctions on Turkey today. Turkey has figured things out.

They need to cut Turkey loose. They need to cut Adams loose.

But then there is foreign election interference. This move has forced the turd chompers to allege exactly what they say was impossible in 2020.

I see a boomerang in the air.
