The Weekly Gardening Thread is a weekly gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From
complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack...

‘What A Wonderful World’: Louis Armstrong’s Iconic Life-Affirming Ballad

| May 5, 2022 | Charles Waring
The story behind the jazz legend’s final hit and, quite simply, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.The legendary New Orleans singer and trumpeter Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong had been making records since 1923, but in February 1968, at the age of 66, he released “What A Wonderful World,” which would become
the biggest-selling song of his long and storied career. Though renowned as one of the pioneers of Dixieland-style jazz in the 1920s, Armstrong was no stranger to the pop charts in the 1960s, having topped Billboard’s Hot 100 with the Grammy-winning single, “Hello Dolly,” in 1964. But “What...

The First Lady review: A woeful waste of three wonderful actresses
|

Entertainment Weekly ^
| 4/11/2022 | Kristen Baldwin
"First Ladies and their teams are often the vanguards of social progress in this country, despite no budget and no pay," writes Betty Ford (Michelle Pfeiffer) to Michelle Obama (Viola Davis) in the tenth and final episode of Showtime's The First Lady. The sentiment serves as the thesis for this anthology series
from creator Aaron Cooley and director Susanne Bier, a well-meaning but ponderous effort that wastes a trio of extraordinary actresses with its dull and cursory storytelling. Despite its singular title, The First Lady insists on cramming three presidential spouses — Mrs. Obama, Mrs. Ford, and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt...

Donald Trump Endorses Sarah Palin for Congress: ‘Wonderful Patriot’

Former President Donald Trump enthusiastically endorsed former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in her run to fill Rep. Don Young’s (R-AK) congressional seat. Hailing
the former Alaska governor as a “wonderful patriot,” Donald Trump praised Palin for her persistence in the face of the Democrats’ attacks on her. “Wonderful patriot Sarah Palin of Alaska just announced that she is running for Congress, and that means there will be a true America First fighter on the ballot to replace the late and legendary Congressman Don Young,” said Trump. Sarah Palin notably endorsed Trump very early in the 2016 primaries. “We are ready...

The Return ^
| March 25, 2022
I have been meditating for the past few days on Psalms 142 and 143. I
was interested in what King David was going through when he said, “When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way in which I walk they have secretly set a snare for me. Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul” (Psalm 142:3-4, NKJV). David actually cried to the Lord, “Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low… Bring my...

It's A Wonderful (Italian-American) Life

NPR ^
| December 20, 2012 | MARK ROTELLA
We think of It's a Wonderful Life as a great American movie, a great Jimmy Stewart movie, a great Frank Capra movie — and, of course, as a great Christmas movie. We
don't think of it as a great Italian-American movie. But we should, especially at Christmastime, when Italian-Americans — of Capra's generation and beyond — can be heard in every shop and restaurant singing many of the songs that define the season. Capra was born in Sicily, and at age 6 moved to Los Angeles. It's a Wonderful Life is spiced with subtle but significant references to his fellow...

New York City's SantaCon returned this year as hundreds took part in drunken debauchery after the booze-fueled festival was cancelled last year due to the pandemic. The
event brought countless of maskless Santas, Grinches, reindeers and other holiday-themed characters to the Big Apple on Saturday to march, crawl through pubs and celebrate Christmas. The fun times come amid concerns that the gathering might serve as a super-spreader for the COVID-19 Omicron variant, which has now been spotted in half of U.S. states, including New York. At least 43 people in the country have contracted Omicron, with New York confirming 20...

Former President Donald Trump issued a Thanksgiving Day message, telling Americans "do not worry, we will be great again." Trump

The country also is dealing with a surge of migrants at the southern border, critical race theory affecting school curricula, and recent high-profiled trials concerning fatal shootings with racial implications.

Just Wonderful: Nancy Pelosi Buys a $25 Million Mansion in Florida (on the beach)

Liberty First ^
| 11/23/21 | Dr. Rich Swier
It’s wonderful that Nancy Pelosi is buying a $25 million home on beautiful Jupiter Island, Florida. Reminds me of the song Jennifer Juniper by Donovan when he sings “Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill.” Maybe
we should change the lyric to say “Nancy Pelosi was once upon Capital hill but is now moving the Jupiter beach?” We can call her “Nancy of Jupiter?” But we wonder why? Is Nancy Pelosi tired of California and its high cost of living? Is Nancy happier being in a state run by Republican Ron DeSantis than her home state of California run by Democrat...

Archeologists found something amazing and wonderful in Israel: Evidence, yet again, that the Bible isn’t just a religious book, it is a history book

My father gave me Werner Keller’s The Bible as History when I was a kid. I’ve
been a sucker for Biblical histories since then. Keller’s been superseded, both by the deconstructionists who claim the Bible isn’t true and by modern archeology, which has added to and reinterpreted many archeological findings since Keller’s time. And last week, in Jerusalem, an archeologist discovered an earring that helps confirms one of the most pivotal stories in the Bible: The destruction of Solomon’s Temple and the Babylonian captivity.The Bible describes how the Kingdom of Judah, under Jehoiakim, refused to pay tribute to King Nebuchadnezzar...
