America’s Cheese Stockpile Just Hit A Record High
The Washington Post reports American warehouses have amassed their most massive stockpile of cheese in more than 100 years since government regulators began tracking dairy products, the result of oversupplied domestic markets and waning consumer demand.
Commercial and government cheese storage facilities now have a whopping 1.39 billion-pound surplus, counted by the Agriculture Department in May and published in a report on June 22. It is a 6 percent y/y and a 16 percent jump since the government launched ‘quantitative cheesing’ to buy excess supply in 2016.
Cheese analysts say record stockpiling is attributed to a decline in consumer demand for milk. When dairy cattle produce too much milk, processors generally convert the milk into cheese, butter, or powder, which is the easiest method for long-term storage.
Record amounts of cheese, however, comes with a significant drawback: If it is being stored, it is not sold, that leads…

ALLOWED AND FORBIDDEN – Marilyn Armstrong
Are we still free?
As our “freedom” seems to be becoming increasingly less free with each passing day, I have to wonder about a lot of things I always accepted as true. Or close to true.
I never believed Americans were quite as “free” as we said we were, but we were freer than most places I could live. Americans were under less scrutiny than most places. Our press was stronger — and freer — than most other places.
A friend told me a long time ago that one of the major differences between Europe and the U.S.A. was how we see our “freedom.”
Is that still true? I have a feeling it isn’t. You think?
Know Your Space
“Space. The final frontier.”
Or is it?
Well, at least in the garden, space is the important frontier.
Space can be the final say regarding what you plant and how you plant. The smaller the garden, the more important the amount of space you have. And the more important it is to use it properly. One of the first steps in using space properly is to know how much space you there is to work with.
Nothing is harder to do than to figure your space without taking measurements-inevitably you’re wrong. When you take those measurements, it’s important to be as accurate as possible, because in a small space an inch can mean a lot. A foot can make a difference with what type of plants you plant, and a yard to make the difference in the type of material you use for hard-scaping.
When taking your measurements, it is…

Self-control … yeah, right.
Now that we’re on the upside of the winter solstice, I’ve planted my garlic—108 cloves, which should yield about 100 heads, assuming my usual success rate.
That’s absolutely too much garlic.
It’s a bad omen. I drew up my garden plan this morning—a garden roughly three-quarters the size of the one I’ve planted for the last decade. Hopefully it won’t yield 200 pumpkins and 80 kilos of pickling cucumbers next year when my teenage son won’t be around to eat them all.
But, plan or not, if I plant other crops with the exuberance with which I planted garlic today, I’ll end up with a garden every bit as big as past gardens. Some time in the next two weeks, before this year’s seed catalogue arrives, I need to get control of my gardening urge.
Wish me luck.
Moving Mountains
I have a mountain of earth to move. It equates to 6 truckloads of good quality swamp-like soil from ‘up near Froggies’ near where we used to live. I feel confident it will be a fabulous growing medium for my new garden and it appears to be weed free. It has been hanging about for a couple of months now and nothing nasty has reared its head. This is always a great relief when taking delivery of soil from an unknown location.
From this angle it looks insurmountable. It is certainly a lot of earth.
The earth needs moving for a couple of reasons. The first obvious one is I need to fill beds so I can be ready for the spring. There are a lot of beds, so it should make a good dent in the mountain. However, I have only constructed half the beds I need and want…

A Unesco-supported Biosphere Reserve in Chiang Mai has been so successful it’s serving as a model for programmes all over the region
LOCATED AT THE head of the Mae Sa Watershed in the Mae Sa-Kog Ma Biosphere Reserve – a crucial component of the greater Chiang Mai region water supply – the sleepy mountain town of Pong Krai has traditionally been home to the hilltribe people of Northern Thailand. For decades, the villagers led a largely pastoral life, raising livestock and growing crops for subsistence, until the modern world and consequences of the Vietnam War era encroached upon their traditions, exposing them to the demand for opium. In just a short time, the surrounding region was mostly deforested to accommodate the new cash crop –…

America Has Totally Forgotten History
America is repeating the mistakes of so many nations before it and repudiating its own founding principles. This is happening because the vast majority of the American people have lost touch with their own national history and heritage.

The Spanish-American philosopher Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás (known in English as simply George Santayana) famously said in his book The Life Of Reason, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
For all intents and purposes, America is in the process of fulfilling Santayana’s proverb. If America’s founders were to rise from the grave and look at the country they sacrificed so much to create, they would think they were looking at King George’s England instead of the free and independent republic they birthed.
The only references to America’s past nowadays seem to be those…

Have you been baptized since trusting Jesus?
Kimberly and I on the night of our baptisms in 1998
3 events, separated by 25 years, tell the story of my spiritual journey when I came to be a Christ follower.
The first event was when I was baptized as an infant. I was born to two amazing parents who wanted to raise me in a Christian home. They brought me to church each Sunday growing up. I do not remember a time when church was not a part of my life. This is such a huge blessing. When I was just a few months old, my parents had me baptized at the church we attended.
The second event was when I placed my faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of my sins. This was a major turning point in my life. I had attended many church events, memorized many…

In every stage of life, we learn to save for something we cannot see. When we are kids, it might be saving for a new toy or a summer camp. When we are students, the piggy bank points to that first car. As adults, there is that moment when we start contributing to an IRA.
At each stage, a similar process happened:
- Someone promised you something you wanted or needed that you did not already possess: that BIG Lego set, the used pickup, or the ability to one day move to “Del Boca Vista.” A compelling vision was painted of a future reality that was worth your sacrifice today for your satisfaction tomorrow.

We have just seen that as a counterweight to both the faculties of mind, that of sight and audition, the providence has provided us with a treasure of divinity within which can be unearthed to our advantage with the aid of a competent Master. So mind can be controlled only with the grace of the Master, who attunes it with something substantial within – the light and voice of God. We should always try to sit at ease at the eye focus, the resting place of the soul during waking hours, and try to get the mystic experience which the Master vouchsafes to all who come to Him.

Self-Denial “to the Max”? The Extreme Holiness of 5th Century Mystic, Simeon Stylites
I didn’t realise how easy happiness can be to find. Often, it’s right there staring at you, but you’re too busy to see it…
A few days ago I made a huge decision to walk away from a career that I saw myself in for life. I came home from a regular day at work and sat and cried. At first I thought, why the hell am I crying? I knew my period wasn’t due anytime soon and so I just blamed it on being a woman with never-ending emotions, but something inside my heart was trying to tell me something… and it took me a while to figure out what that something really was.
Happiness. The noun comes from the verb ‘happy’. Verbs are ‘doing words’ and yet often we find ‘being happy’ as something that is quite difficult ‘to do’. Life today is so incredibly fast moving. It’s a constant sea of swirling whirlpools and often we push our own happiness to the side to accommodate or please others. But not anymore.

Make America Great = Very Good. Made in China 2025 = Very Bad
State media agencies ordered to avoid mentioning the industrial modernisation plan as US president makes it a focus of looming trade war
26 June 2018 | Sidney Leng and Zheng Yangpeng | South China Morning Post
Beijing is attempting to play down “Made in China 2025” by ordering state media to minimise their coverage of the industrial modernisation programme, as US President Donald Trump makes it a focus of his trade battle with China.
Three separate mainland media sources briefed about the directive told the South China Morning Post that the government has instructed Chinese state media agencies to avoid mentioning Made in China 2025 in their reports.
A reporter with a state-owned newspaper told the Post that an official affiliated with the Communist Youth League in Beijing recently made him aware of the demand.
Another source traced the clampdown back to early May, when an American delegation headed by…

Italy’s far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Sunday told foreign charities to stop rescuing migrants off Libya even as one group said 1,000 people were on boats in distress in the Mediterranean.
With Italy — long the frontline in Europe’s migration crisis — vowing a new hardline stance, Salvini told the aid groups to back off and let the Libyan coastguard take care of rescue operations.
“Let the Libyan authorities do their work of rescue, recovery and return (of migrants) to their country, as they have been doing for some time, without the ships of the voracious NGOs disturbing them or causing trouble,” he said.
“Italian ports are and will be closed to those who aid human traffickers,” he…

Japanese investment house Nomura expects the BSP to follow up last Wednesday’s tightening move with another 25-basis point hike at its next meeting in August, which will bring the overnight borrowing rate to 3.75 per cent.

England recorded their biggest ever World Cup finals win by thrashing an ill-disciplined Panama 6-1 on Sunday to breeze through to the knockout stage after two games.
A hat-trick from captain Harry Kane — which means he is now the leading scorer in the tournament with five goals — two from John Stones, his first ever in an England shirt, and a beauty from Jesse Lingard completed the crushing victory.
The result also confirmed Belgium’s qualification for the knockout stage and means Panama exit the tournament alongside Tunisia.

Russia placed 52nd in the ranking, with low scores in transparency, corruption and effective governance.
The country’s reputational gap suffered among the biggest declines globally, according to the RBC business portal’s analysis.
Wedged between Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, Russia’s reputation was also topped by that of Venezuela, Iran and Iraq. The United States’ reputation placed 34th, followed by India at 35th and China at 45th.

The Western Hijacked Democracy
by Ghassan Kadi for the Saker Blog
June 22, 2018
If my previous article (http://thesaker.is/the-lebanese-style-of-democracy-of-no-winners-or-losers/) dissected Lebanese style democracy and mentioned Western style democracy in passing, then we should perhaps have a closer look at Western democracy; or what is left of it.
The word “democracy’ comes from the Greek word demokratia; from demos ‘the people’ and kratia ‘power’. In other words, it means the power of the people.
Different dictionaries give slightly different definitions, but I find the definition given in the Cambridge Dictionary to be closest to the commonly-held understanding of democracy being “the belief in freedom and equality between people, or a system of government based on this belief, in which power is either held by elected representatives or directly by the people themselves.”
According to the Cambridge Dictionary also, this is the definition of the adjective “democratic”: “a person or a group that is…

Russia V Saudi Arabia. 14.06.18
Group A.
Russia vs. Saudi Arabia. 14.06.18
After the weirdest ‘opening ceremony’ and Putin speech I’ve ever heard/ seen, Russia kick off the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
A cagey first five minutes gave very little away about either side. The first chance falling to Russia who seemed to get a dangerous break but the Saudis were back fast and got themselves in the way.
10 minutes mark and another chance for Russia who really had the game by the scruff of the neck from the outset. Great run by Zobnin who sneaked a ball through to Dzagoev but he could never quite get it from under his feet and a double block came in from the Saudi defence for a Russian corner.
Good corner, tapped on well from the front post, excellent cross from Golovin comes back in and Gazinsky is unmarked at the back post leaving him free for…

EU should introduce Global Human Rights Accountability Law
Various reports over the last few years have clearly shown a worrying global trend: the protection of human rights is under pressure. Human rights, civil liberties and democracy are actively undermined by an increase of authoritarian and populist driven rule.
During and after World War 2 the major (allied) powers of the moment, the United States, Western Europe, the Soviet Union and China initiated the United Nations, initially in order to keep peace on earth. Despite its prolonged internal division soon after World War 2, due to the Cold War, the United Nations set global standards through various human rights conventions. Despite these standards, and signatory human rights protection, these are often not lived up to. Even after passing resolutions in the General Assembly or Security Council countries called upon do not live up to the resolutions. Often this has to do with lack of leverage over the offenders.

Arkady Babchenko Fears Another Russian Assassination Attempt
Arkady Babchenko
Today, Arkady Babchenko (Аркадий Бабченко)shared his words on Facebook about his current situation following the fake assassination.
Russia was embarrassed, so obviously, Russia is going to try to squash this little bug. That is all he is to Russia. He caused Russia embarrassment, so he means even less and they also have an incentive to kill him. You know, because Russia is all macho like that.
In his own words, Babchenko tells us how life is after embarrassing Russia.

“Truth” Telling at Democrat’s Fascist Fake News

Today is Friday and if I stuck to what once used to be the routine of this blog, I were to post a comic for a “Friday Funny” post. But times are not so funny.
Not here in Germany, not in the States. Not anywhere, really. I am so fed up with politicians working hard to destroy what’s left of Europe and the ideas that were behind it. Basically to overcome national thinking and unite. And, if I look at Trump and his agendas, destroying, what used to be called “Western Ideas” in general.
Petty nationalistic interest, irrational fears, greed and corruption, quick political cash-in on the backs of those fleeing their war and poverty ridden homes and outright racism are doing away with that construct, that gave me hope for a better way of living together here in Europe.

The True Character of Christians
Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God. (6:9–11)
Paul’s purpose here is not to give a list of sins that will indicate one has lost his salvation. There are no such sins. He is rather giving a catalog of sinners who are typical of the unsaved. Persons whose lives are totally characterized by such sins are not saved and therefore unrighteous, unjustified. They shall not inherit the kingdom of God, because they are…

NJ Child Marriage Ban Now Law
(Trenton, NJ) – Governor Murphy is signing into law a ban on child marriage. The new law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from marrying or entering into a civil union.
New Jersey is now the second state in our country to ban child marriage under all circumstances. Previously, minors in the Garden State could get married after obtaining parental consent and approval from a judge.
According to the New Jersey Department of Health, more than 36-hundred minors got married in the state between 1995 and 2015.

L.A. Mayor Fights Feds On Helping Migrant Kids
(Los Angeles, CA) – L.A.’s mayor says his office isn’t getting any federal help in an effort to assist migrant children. Mayor Eric Garcetti said today the city is working to identify an estimated 100 children believed to be in Los Angeles after being separated from their parents.
Garcetti says the federal government is not providing any information about the children and there is no legal grounds for the city to make that happen. Garcetti believes the children in the city were being placed in group homes and foster care through organizations contracted with the federal government.
He says most of the kids are believed to be “among the very youngest.”
Who Is REALLY To Blame About “Child Separation”?
The debate over separating the kids from the parents at the border is an idiotic one when you think about it. Of course, NO one wants to separate kids from their parents. That seems to be yet another in a very long liberal line of sludge that’s spewed by the snowflake left. It’s the same type of thing we heard back in the 80’s when Republicans wanted to kill babies, or take the food out of the mouths of grandmothers. What rot!
But, who really is to blame for this happening? I did a blog a while back fact-checking some things on this, and while there really isn’t any law regarding separating children from their parents, there is a court case. In fact, it was a class-action court case. I won’t bore you by rehashing that…that’s not what this particular blog is about.
The fact remains clear. On Thursday, there…

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.”
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

Tunisian World Cup Team: 23 Writers

He imagined an all-Africa squad, writing:
The task is simple really. Choose three goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight defenders and five strikers to send to [Russia] like in any world cup team. In this instance, the goalies are the ones that ensure that the they keep the faith as the last barrier against bad prose. The defenders wouldn’t be the ones we keep talking about in the news or blogs but like good defenders do a lot in ensuring that the craft is defended with good prose.
The midfielders would be of two types; the energetic types churning out many good books and supporting the business to have a positive bank balance. These are also the ones you see at festivals either well known or that you may never heard of but represent the continent’s prose the fullest. Strikers are the ones for whom…

CFACT Billboard — Russia Funneled Cash To Greens To Cripple Energy
From the team at CFACT ~
CFACT’s kicked off a new billboard on busy I-10 in Louisiana which reads, “Russia funneled Green groups millions of dollars to oppose fracking & cripple American energy,” and asks, “How’s that for COLLUSION?”
The billboard campaign was spearheaded by CFACT’s Graham Beduze and Adam Houser.
Russia wants to reduce and eliminate competition to its energy exports with the goal of keeping prices high and the world, particularly Europe, dependent on Russian energy.
What better allies could Putin find but the free world’s network of Green pressure groups?
Russia’s actions are well documented in a detailed report released by the U.S. House of Representatives this year.
You can read details about what Russia’s been up to at CFACT.org from CFACT scholars Bonner Cohen here and Paul Driessen here.
Question: Are Russia’s Green allies useful idiots, or willing partners in its anti-energy campaigns?

30 Years Of Exaggerating Global Warming
By Andrew Bolt ~
Pat Michaels and Ryan Maue fact check the explosive claim made 30 years ago by probably the high priest of the global warming scare:
James E. Hansen wiped sweat from his brow. Outside it was a record-high 98 degrees on June 23, 1988, as the NASA scientist testified before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources during a prolonged heat wave, which he decided to cast as a climate event of cosmic significance. He expressed to the senators his “high degree of confidence” in “a cause-and-effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and observed warming.”
With that testimony and an accompanying paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Mr. Hansen lit the bonfire of the greenhouse vanities, igniting a world-wide debate that continues today about the energy structure of the entire planet…
But the 30th anniversary of Mr. Hansen’s predictions affords an opportunity to see how well his…

It was then revealed that the 10cm-long scar was the result of a surgery he had to undergo three years ago in order to donate his liver to his father.

Appearing in her second LET event after missing the cut here 12 months ago, the 20-year-old shot five birdies against a lone bogey for a two-day total of six under-par-138, one behind 24-year-old Carlsson, who shot an unblemished 65, and 19-year-old Del Rosario, who hit a 67.

Bronnitsy, Russia – Fearful of data breaches and keen to avoid embarrassing images surfacing in the home of ‘kompromat’, several teams at the World Cup in Russia have enforced rigid guidelines to shield their players from hacks.
Whereas in past tournaments teams went to extraordinary lengths to keep the paparazzi at bay, the stars of Russia 2018 have a more high-tech approach to guarding their privacy.
The Australian football federation is one of several to use its own mobile internet connection while in Russia, in theory to make it harder to access information contained on the devices of players and staff.

JAKARTA
PUBLICLY listed consumer goods manufacturer PT Unilever Indonesia agreed to sell its food spreads businesses to KKR & Co during a shareholders’ meeting on Thursday.
The buyout is worth a reported 2.92 trillion rupiah (US$ 210 million).
“This business separation marks the next step in reshaping and sharpening our portfolio for long-term growth,” Unilever Indonesia president director Hemant Bakshi said in a release after an extraordinary shareholders meeting.
“The sale will allow the spreads businesses to stand alone, focusing on growth and innovation,” he said.
The businesses would be handled by KKR subsidiaries.
The decision was made by Unilever Indonesia following KKR’s recent offer to Unilever’s global management – Unilever NV and Unilever Plc – in December last year.
