Broccoli & Cheese Soup
I cut up on broccoli bunch along with one onion and heat them in a pot of water. Once they are soft, I pour the mixture into a Ninja blender and mix it up for 2-3 minutes, maybe a little longer to make sure it is all liquid.
Back into the pot the mixture goes, and I add two tablespoons of soup starter from Creamy Cauliflower and Creamy Mushroom containers. I got these containers from Yoder's an Amish store nearby by.
As this mixture cooks, I add black pepper and dice up the second bunch of broccoli. Once that cooks for about an hour, I will add 4-6 slices of cheddar sliced cheese and make sure that is blended in properly. I let that mixture cook for another 60 minutes then cool and put into plastic container for later consumption.
I do not add cream or half n half to give it another texture because it adds in too many calories and the way I have made it is perfectly fine on taste for me.
My soup is enough for 3 meals and has about 100 calories per bowl.
Finally, I will take out a baguette from the freezer, thaw it out, and eat with the soup. The baguette was purchased from SAMS and cut into quarters, wrapped and put in the freezer for later consumption.
With the bread, my meal is 320 calories.
Today is a Federal Holiday
Some say this change was for the positive while other say it was for the negative... however, change is change and it is change that moves us forward...
MLK Jr laid the foundation for BLM to grow and flourish and it is BLM that laid the foundation for WOKEness to filter through our society as well... both of these movements had negative influence on the American society...
However, this should not cloud or influence the impact that MLK Jr had on our society... MLK Jr's message was one of unity not one of disunity... we are all one people and as one people we should come together despite our differences.
Moving into equity is the wrong message to send because we were all born with different skills and abilities and if you don't have a particular skill or ability, passing a law that tries to make it so, will change change the reality.
- Some people have natural athletic skills

- Some people are naturally beautiful or handsome
THESE NATURAL GIFTS CANNOT BE SHARED VIA EQUITY
Classified Docs in Biden's Home
An additional five pages of classified material has been found in US President Joe Biden's family home in Delaware, the White House has said.
Mr Biden's lawyer Richard Sauber said he discovered the additional documents on Thursday which were immediately handed to the Justice Department.
Mr Biden's lawyers have said the documents relate to his time as Barack Obama's vice-president. A special counsel is investigating Mr Biden's handling of the files.
The discovery of documents throughout the investigation has been called a political embarrassment for Mr Biden, as it comes during an ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump's own alleged mishandling of classified files. READ MORE...
We Are At The End Of The Line
We have had enough inflation
We have had enough illegal immigration
We have had enough illegal drugs
We have had enough crime
We have had enough lying politicians
We have had enough of BLM
We have had enough of WOKE
We have had enough of cancel culture
We have had enough of going green
We have had enough of ending gasoline
AND MOST OF US AIN'T BUYING NO FRIGGING ELECTRIC CAR...
The USA is divided politically right around 50/50 maybe shifting a little from time to time to 51/49 but certainly no more... This division started with President Trump and so the other side blames him... but the shift in feelings was always there waiting for someone like Trump to bring it out... So, it is not really his fault, but the fault of the entire nation for allowing it to fester and grow like a pimple or a boil... We have only ourselves to blame which is exactly why we want to point the finger. No one wants to admit they are wrong or were wrong.
The USA is in trouble from within and we really don't see it yet but the longer this goes on, the worse our situation will beccome. HATE and RESENTMENT has a way of growing when left unattended... all you have to do is look at our success with marriage... 50% of all first time marriages end in divorce... that ain't nothing to brag about.
BUT the bigger concern is how the USA is being perceived by the rest of the world, especially our enemies like Russia, China, the Middle East, and North Korea... Do they smell or sense WEAKNESS?
Right now, some of our military experts say that we would play hell trying to win a war with China because of how they have grown their military over the last few years... Instead of putting their money in social programs like the USA, China invests in the military, science, technology, education, and space...
The USA wants to take money away from the military and put it into going green, healthcare for all, education for all, housing for all, and reparations to the black because of slavery... while many citizens of the US like all these government handouts, they are not going to like it when China begins to flex its muscles... Then these pussies are going to bitch and moan and blame govt for not taking care of them..... TOO LATE...

US Renames Five Places That Use Racist Slur
The US government has announced name changes for five places whose designations included a racist term for Native American women.
The sites are in the states of California, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. The decision came after a year-long process to remove the racial slur from federal use, the government said. The sites are the last of almost 650 locations selected by the Department of the Interior to be renamed.
"Words matter, particularly in our work to ensure our nation's public lands and waters are accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds," said Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland (photo above), who is the first Native American cabinet secretary in US history.
The word 'squaw' has historically been used as "an offensive ethnic, racial and sexist slur, particularly for Indigenous women", the department said. Nearly a year ago, Ms Haaland created a task force to replace derogatory names of the nation's geographic features.
She said the panel would serve as a "big step forward in our efforts to remove derogatory terms whose expiration dates are long overdue".
In September, the Department of the Interior - which oversees public lands and is the federal agency that most closely oversees Native affairs - announced a final vote to change the names of hundreds of locations, but left seven places that it said needed to be further reviewed. READ MORE...
An Alternative Theory
Here is something to ponder about today...
Jesus said: "My kingdom is not of this world."
what do you think he meant by that?
Not of earth perhaps...
But, if not of earth, then where?
The heavens...
This seems more reasonable but again what is considered the heavens?
I would submit to you that the heavens are OUTER SPACE or the UNIVERSE...
The Universe is frigging huge... If we traveled at LIGHT SPEED, we would die before we went from one side to the other side of our own SOLAR SYSTEM...
And, there are billions of solar systems in our universe...
So... is this what Jesus meant?
We have no way of knowing exactly because we were not there and could not ask him questions as to what he meant... TODAY... we can only speculate...
However... if Jesus' kingdom is not of this world (that is to say earth) then Jesus was an EXTRATERRESRTRIAL... an ALIEN... perhaps some kind of space traveler that ended up on earth as a result of the Virgin Mary giving birth to him...
How did that happen?
GOD had Mary impregnated with Jesus without the need of fornication or sexual intercourse.
Again... how did that happen?
GOD must also be an Extraterrestrial... I mean isn't the trinity: God - Jesus - Holy Ghost
We have always consider God and Jesus to be HUMAN BEINGS... well at least Jesus is... since GOD is something else that we have no way of describing or understanding completely since he has never been met by anyone outside of a metaphorical meeting.
Perhaps Jesus is how GOD would look, if he had been transformed... But then, mankind was created in GOD's image... except this is also a metaphorical statement and could mean anything depending upon one's interpretation.
STILL... there is a creator... I believe that... there is no other logical explanation for life.
But then, who created GOD?
And who created the UNIVERSE?
Are these two creators one and the same?
French Court Orders Removal of Virgin Mary Statue
A French court ordered on Friday the removal of a statue of the Virgin Mary from a small town on the grounds that its display violates the separation of church and state.
The court’s order ended four decades of the statue’s display at a crossroads in La Flotte, France, a town of about 2,800 people, according to Agence France Presse (AFP). A local family originally erected the statue after World War II in gratitude for a father and son’s safe return from the war, the outlet reported. A private garden first housed the statue, until the family gifted it to the town and saw its placement at the crossroads in 1983.
The statue sustained damage after it was struck by a passing car in 2020, the outlet noted. Its restoration included the addition of a platform, a move which drew the attention of of an organization that advocates for the defense of secularity. La Libre Pensee 17 filed a complaint, citing a 1905 French law that forbids the display of religious monuments in public places.
Mayor Jean-Paul Heraudeau appealed instead to the statue’s “historical heritage,” calling the complaint “ridiculous,” AFP quoted. It should be regarded as “more of a memorial than a religious statue,” the mayor said.
While the court acknowledged the town’s intentions, its ruling favored the argument of the Virgin Mary as an “important figure in Christian religion,” giving it “an inherently religious character,” according to AFP. In accordance with the court’s order, the town has six months to remove the statue.
