A stunt? That doesn’t fit Garland’s reputation. And to what advantage? Also, some fake state electors also received FBI visits yesterday. We’re in the midst of a high-stakes drama like no other. Most of the machinations are secret. We can’t judge the effectiveness yet.

Exactly. Boy, am I feeling it in my body and mind today. Please, everyone, take really good care of yourselves and do at least one thing per day that calms and soothes you. We must take good care of ourselves for the long haul. Am off to the great outdoors...

I'm grilling a decadent feast and eating in the backyard next to our very small pond and waterfall with my best friend. Celebrating our half birthdays, or at least that's our excuse. My teenage son, quite the baker, has made a butter matcha cake with chocolate glaze for us.

Oh, happy half-birthday, Michael! Sounds like a divine evening with with a body of water AND the sound of falling water. My favorite things. Thanks for sharing how you are re-charging your battery. Celebrate anything!

Well, it's my full birthday today and quite an elderly one. Each year the well-wishers dwindle, but that's to be expected. Nevertheless, there are old FB friends, a few relatives' phone calls and some cards. But perhaps the most meaningful BD wish was from a little poor lady in my apartment building who brought me a ceramic lamb, clearly not new, that she had once treasured. So it goes. Enjoy the out-of-doors and I wish you a lovely day, Michael. And, Pensa, isn't Vermont lovely this early summer day!?

Excellent idea, MaryPat! Water is good for the soul!! Need to tell all the seditious conspirators against our country to do the same--and wake up to their destruction. Go Jump In The Lake! Just not MaryPat's!!

😊 And I just came in from watching fireflies on this perfect night with Mr. Higgins (my marmalade coon cat). Feeling much better as well. Onwards!!

Christine, Everyone, sorry for delayed response.

Perhaps it was a poor choice of words. I accept the feedback and thank you.

However, I learned of Jeffrey Clark as a long ago as February 2021. I knew, a guy who reads maybe 40 minutes a day in various newspapers, about Clark's efforts to lay at Trumps feet and do his bidding.

It is now the end of June 2022 and the FBI have searched Clark's home for the first time.

So, if I knew about Clark so long ago, how is it that the FBI only now, in coordination with public exposure via Jan 06, is just now searching Clark's home?

Does it not seem "late" at the very least and possibly a "stunt"?

Because, the FBI does not have to wait for a televised expose to do an investigation of its own and execute search warrants.

That's all I meant Christine.

I have not been made aware of your knowledge regarding the processes taken by the DOJ in preparation of providing a judge with specific crime or crimes suspected and evidence of such, so that a 'court approved' search could be granted. Your application of guesswork and suspicion was not the least bit convincing to me. Obviously, you think you learned a lot about Clark from the reading of a friend of yours. That is not in-depth learning in my book. Nothing you have written has provided me with even a hint of the 'possibly a 'stunt'. I do note how hard you cling to something cooked up in your mind.
