Today is the final day of the Christmas season and the beginning of ordinary time in the Church with the feast of the Baptism of Christ.

Because Christmas fell on a Saturday this is the shortest possible Christmas Season under the new calendar (under the old Calendar Christmas ran till Feb 2nd, forty days till the Feast of the Presentation) but it’s an appropriate end to the season as the events are a precursor of “Water and the Spirit” that Jesus explains to Nicodemus in John’s Gospel:

Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?”

Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit.

John 3:4-6

As John the Baptist noted Christ did not need baptism but yet he submits to it as an example and the spirit descends and makes it clear exactly who Christ is.

This is what our baptism does for us which is why so many are so desperate to delay or stop it from happening. As soon as we are baptized we are part of that Christmas morning when we become flesh and spirit and enter into this world a new creation.

Players are available in waivers until rosters expand

I listened to the arguments of the SCOTUS. The only thing more astounding than the false claims made by the government in their argument concerning the virus and the vaccines was listening to the false claims by some of the justices.

Judicial robes do not confirm knowledge or wisdom they just confirm that they were confirmed by congress.


There is movement both at my employer and my wife’s employer concerning our vaccine status.

It is very possible that the Biden Administration will cause both of us to become unemployable in our current fields.

What a difference one stolen election makes.

Of course with the latest jobs report people losing their jobs is not all that odd


One of the most interesting bits of COVID news that I read over the last week was a leftist journalist discovering that many of his friends actually had COVID last year but kept it quiet because the media meme was all about shaming those who caught it due to vaccine status.

Now of course that the double and triple vaxxed and boosted are getting it and some of them are high profiles media and leftists there is no reason to hide this kind of thing.

That’s what really insidious about the left, people silently going along with meme’s that they know are false.

Had a few inches of snow today. It never ceases to amaze me how many people in Massachusetts get all panicked over snow when we regularly get it

I’ll say one thing about today’s storm. Those Ariens snow blowers are all they’re advertised to be. I’ve never used one with more get up and go.


Got a 2nd or is it 3rd late notice for the old site that I cancelled a month ago and got notice that it would be shut down within 24 hours of my cancellation.

That completely convinces me something has happened to the guy who was running the site and it’s completely on automatic.

Saving all the emails just in case.

If the founding fathers of this nation were alive today they would be absolutely outraged that the federal government, state governments, and local governments are imposing vaccine mandates, implementing vaccine passports, and subjecting countless millions to mask mandates.  They would be outraged because they worked tirelessly and shed a veritable ocean of blood to break away from the tyrannical British monarchy. They would be distraught that we have allowed the federal government, state governments, and local governments to become far more tyrannical than the British ever were.

The founding fathers of the United States created a country where freedom and liberty formed this nation’s bedrock and foundation.  They left us a Constitution and Bill of Rights to preserve our freedom and liberty.  In these three articles The Right of Conscience is being obliterated by vaccine mandates, With the vaccine mandate the Biden Regime has now become a petty dictatorship, and Vaccine Passports would be unconstitutional, immoral, and unscientific I proved that vaccine passports and vaccine mandates violate the US Constitution and state constitutions.

Some federal courts have set aside the Biden vaccine mandate, only to be overturned by a higher court.  I am unaware of  single court overturning any state or local mandate.  I have no hope that any will.  I have no hope that the Supreme Court will set things right because they abandoned the Constitution decades ago.  The same is true of all levels of the United States court system.

For the past twenty months I have been shocked and saddened that the American people have not risen up and put a stop to all of this freedom and liberty destroying nonsense. Far too may blindly accept what is going on.  None of this was even remotely acceptable during the founding period of the United States.  That generation would have grabbed their muskets and pitch forks a week or so into this nightmare.  Succeeding generations have allowed a gradual eroding of freedom and liberty through a process called the Overton Window

The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support — they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. These policies lie inside the Overton Window. Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas. These policies lie outside the Overton Window.

But the Overton Window can both shift and expand, either increasing or shrinking the number of ideas politicians can support without unduly risking their electoral support. Sometimes politicians can move the Overton Window themselves by courageously endorsing a policy lying outside the window, but this is rare. More often, the window moves based on a much more complex and dynamic phenomenon, one that is not easily controlled from on high: the slow evolution of societal values and norms.

Progressives have proved to be experts at using the Overton Window to steadily transform the United States from a freedom and liberty loving Constitutional Republic into a nation of meek sheep that more closely resembles a socialist democracy.  They have accomplished this through the culture war and decades of indoctrination at all levels of education, through the mainstream news, leftist Hollywood, and courts such as the Supreme Court. 

The only way to fight this is by yanking the window back to where it belongs, where it was right after the ratification of the Constitution and Bill Rights.  The only way to accomplish this is by spreading the truth on social media and through mass demonstrations.

All government mandates, no matter how beneficial they are, destroy freedom and liberty. Because of this they violate the U S Constitution, and state constitutions if they are on the state or local level. Even state and local vaccine mandates mandating children receive extremely safe and effective vaccines such as the MMR and Polio vaccines violate the freedom and rights of the parents to make medical decisions for their children. With this article I am not attacking vaccines or the science behind vaccines, only the mandating of vaccines. I know the courts and I disagree. That is proof that the courts abandoned the Constitution a great many decades ago.

There is no medical or scientific proof that vaccine mandates aid in the fight against diseases in any way. I know for a fact that there is a large minority of individuals in this country who will not do something specifically because it was mandated by government, no matter how beneficial it is. If governments want to ensure that the highest percentage of the population is vaccinated against certain diseases, they will inform and educate us of the medical and scientific benefits of that vaccine. Nagging and pestering us is acceptable. Mandating and coercing is not acceptable because this is a free country.
