In a time when most Christian music seems so fake, generic and uninspired, not to mention utterly lacking in musicality, I'm so glad a friend tipped me off to Darrell Mansfield. Not only does his blues rock contain lyrics that glorify and tell truth about the Lord God, but the talent of Mansfield and his backup musicians is out of this world. Listen here to his album "Give Him Your Blues" and, if you like it, please purchase a copy.

ANOTHER DXER WITH A LOT OF RECENT CATCHES
Of course, with radio waves working as they do, other people have been having good AM reception lately, too, including this guy, whom I'm subscribed to. Over the years, I have enjoyed his recordings of stations, many of which I am probably never going to receive myself.
FOOD SHORTAGE
AH: Please pardon the scanning errors.
Food Shortage?
We have never seen a food shortage in the USA in our lifetimes. That does not mean it could not happen. But, with recent headlines such as:
A Perfect Storm for US Agriculture, and,
Beef Prices Surge As Ranchers Sell Off Cattle Herds,
We can’t say that our enemy hasn’t told us what they have in mind regarding the further destruction of America as we know it.
And why not? Doesn’t our Bible, the same Bible that has John 3:16 in it, also have Leviticus 26:18-20 in it, where the SAME GOD says he will make our sky like iron and our earth like bronze, because of our sins'! YES it does! Read Ezekiel 30:12, where our God says He will make the land desolate, and dry up the canals. Meditate on and study Psalm 107:33-34, where we read:
He changes rivers into a wilderness And springs of water into a thirsty ground; A fruitful land into a salt waste, Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
What do we have in our land today, Remnant, but wickedness and deceit and lies and filth and apostasy! God keeps His Words to His people! Changes to this land are coming, and it will be on the righteous and the unrighteous both. Be found in our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ, walking in His way, not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and being a DOER of the Word.
The following is taken from articles that point out, in no-uncertain terms or language, what is happening in this land today, and what is seen as coming on the horizon.
A Food Shortage Could Be Coming, Even in the U.S.
Concerns of a global food shortage have been mounting given the war in Ukraine and the huge amounts of fertilizer, wheat, and other food-related exports that come from that region. Many economists and strategists say a food shortage can’t happen here. After all, the U.S. produces most of its own food and roughly half of domestic land is used for agricultural production, according to the Food and Drug Administration. There are several overlapping reasons, however, why America shouldn’t take a sufficient food supply for granted.
Record temperatures and the worst drought in more than a decade mean there isn’t grass for the animals to eat, and hay—the
alternative—is tough to come by as higher fuel costs make it harder to transport from other states. The cost of hay in one Texas area is around $220 a roll, compared with about $45 in normal times and $120 in a typical drought year.
“None of the ranchers I know want to get out, but they have to,” a local says, says of the livestock liquidation. “Everybody is selling because they can’t feed them, and no one is buying the cows to raise.” That suggests more meat and lower prices in the near term. But the Texas Farm Bureau said in a report this past week that with much of the current breeding herd going to processing plants, calf numbers will fall in years ahead. If everyone sells out of cattle now, what are we going to do later on?
About 250 miles away, Stephen Brantley is getting nervous—but for a different reason. Brantley, a longtime banker at Waggoner National Bank in Vernon, Texas, says his bank has been fielding calls lately from farmers approached by solar companies interested in their land. First the companies ask to test the land over about a year, during which time the farmer can continue growing crops such as wheat. Then, if the testing goes well, the solar company either offers to buy the land or lease it for 20 to 30 years.
The offers are hard to refuse. Farmland often best meets solar- site requirements, and Brantley says solar companies are paying as much as $800 an acre in his area of the wheat belt for leases that last for decades. That’s $512,000 a year for a section of land—640 acres—an attractive lifeline for farmers increasingly strapped by rising input prices and unfavorable weather. There is also a precedent. Wind came in about ' 5 years ago and turbines proliferated in the area, overall a net positive, Brantley says. But unlike wind, which is less lucrative and can coexist with crops, solar is pretty zero sum. “I know how fast it can happen. I’m afraid this thing might snowball. If solar catches on like wind did, all this cultivated land will go out of production,” says Brantley.
Solar farms like this one in Andrews County, Texas, (and in Colorado, too) are gobbling up prime farmland. Some observers see a long-term threat to the nation’s food supply.
A May report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago said agricultural land values in the region surged 23% in the first quarter from a year earlier as investors bought a rising share of some of the country’s best farmland. Strategic Solar Group, which brokers land, says the high end of the average solar-farm lease is $2,000 an acre. Apart from business incentives, government subsidies and tax credits also help explain why solar companies are aggressively seeking land.
Already, Americans have seen double-digit price increases in food categories this year. In the latest consumer price index report, meats, poultry, fish, and eggs leapt 12% from a year earlier as bread rose 11% and milk increased 16%. That’s occurring as the U.S. Census Bureau has found about a 10th of Americans don’t have enough to eat.
Fourth-generation farmer:
‘Food shortage is coming’
One fourth-generation farmer is warning the worst is yet to come. “People are going to see the rising cost of food in their local grocery stores in the coming month,” John B. Jr. said Monday.
“Farmers are feeling the pinch from high cost of diesel fuel and fertilizer, truckers are feeling the pinch and you have a certain region in the world that’s not planting crops at this time in Ukraine, so there’s going to be a shortage of wheat and commodities that they’ve been producing there, as well,” John said.
And it goes far beyond the gas pump: Eggs are up 32%, poultry is up 16.6%, milk is up 15.9% and fats and oils are up 16.9 %, Axios reports. Overall, the cost of food is up about 12 % — the largest increase since 1979.
This fourth-generation farmer goes on to explain food staples such as corn, corn syrup and soybeans are all the types of products local farmers produce daily, which, in turn, helps place the major products on shelves that shoppers are accustomed to seeing. Inflation, however, makes these deliverables more difficult.
“For so long, we’ve enjoyed lots of food in this country, so we’ve never ever faced a food shortage and I think that’s coming in the coming months.”
“The Biden administration that I’ve been urging to take more of swift action, still hasn’t taken the action I believe that’s needed,” he said. “Farmers are the last person on the totem pole. You may not need a doctor or a lawyer today, but every day in this country, you need a farmer,” he said.
We NEED Jesus Christ in America, every Day!
Remnant, remember the promise of Psalm 37:19:
They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days ¦ 'amine they will have abundance.
The time is now to be that Doer of the Word, and not a hearer only. Make sure your trust, hope, work and faith is in our King, our _r._e. our law-giver, our refuge and our Savior, Jesus Christ. rp

SENDING KIDS HOME WHO HAVE HEAD LICE IS A CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
Not the Bee
Sending kids home who have head lice is a Civil Rights issue according to new American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines.
Mister Retrops
Sep 29, 2022 · NottheBee.com
In communist America, it's not very equitable if only one kid gets lice at school; all the kids should have lice equally.
At least that seems to be the new messaging out of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), whose new guidelines state:
No healthy child or adolescent should be excluded from school or allowed to miss school time because of head lice or nits. Medical providers should educate school communities that no-nit policies for return to school should be abandoned, because such policies would have negative consequences for children's or adolescents' academic progress, may violate their civil rights, and stigmatize head lice as a public health hazard.
That's right. According to the AAP, head lice are no longer a medical issue; they are a civil rights issue.
Right to Lice Movement (circa 2022)
The AAP cites an article giving international recommendations regarding school children and lice from the International Journal of Dermatology as their authority for the recommendations, which unsurprisingly cites the AAP as the authority for their recommendations.
Of course every mother for thousands of years has known where children pick up lice: from other children. The website Mothers Against Head Lice makes an impassioned plea promoting no-nit policies in the schools.
However, the AAP knows just how to counter that:
No-nit policies are unjust and should be discontinued, because they are based on misinformation rather than objective science.
That's right. Everything you thought you knew about head lice is all just misinformation.
So, stop struggling against the breakdown of society. It's better if all the kids have head lice anyway.

Today we got footage of Chattanooga Pride Youth Day at Wanderlinger Brewing Co. and this is what kids were subjected to. It’s NOT hard to not spread your legs to kids. It’s NOT hard to redirect a kid away from that area if they grab near your crotch. We have to stop this madness!

Yeah... a man dressed as the Little Mermaid invited children on stage to touch his mermaid costume and allowed the children to stroke his crotch while Princesses Anna and Elsa watch.
Then there was another man doing the splits and spreading his bulging groin for very young children to see.

Replying to @robbystarbuck
The fact they WANT to spread their legs for kids should make very clear to everyone that something is WRONG with this. Where’s law enforcement? We won’t allow this continue. In Tennessee there will be no safe space to be inappropriate like this with kids. We WILL stop this!

@robbystarbuck
We will be watching every move the left makes to do this in Tennessee and we will be reporting to the public, to the politicians and to the police until this stops. Tennesseans: Send this to your reps and ask them to stop this and to work with us on legislation to protect kids!

MEDIA-RELATED STUFF
Westwood One needs to update their commercials.
How could people effected by Hurricane Fiona call into "Cross-country Checkup" yesterday if their power and cell service were out?
CKWS-TV Kingston needs to update their commercials even worse than Westwood One. Having a commercial that begins with the words "It's spring" when it is, in fact, nearly October?!
If CNN wants to be taken more seriously, having Chris Wallace hosting a lame celebrity interview show is not the way to do so.
You should not say "this morning we have joining us" when the interview is to air on the noon news.
One of the women in that Huggies grandmas commercial seriously needs to quit smoking.
Love the Pampers Lullaby video. A corporation actually has a positive message in a commercial without overtly advertising their product.
Picked up WRNJ Hackettstown, New Jersey last week.
INTERESTING AUDIO
At the beginning of a commercially produced Jerry Lee Lewis live album, there was the beginning of a boy band song from the nineties. In the middle of the B side of the tape, there was a few seconds of a rap song. Bet someone's parent or grandparent was mad.
A commercially produced tape of the story of Sir Lancelot.
A commercially produced tape featuring the story of King Arthur and the Sable Knight.
A homemade mixtape from March 1, 1991 featuring mainly rap songs with a young white boy at the end of the first side pretending to be a deejay and using black slang, telling people what was coming up on the other side.

BRAZILIAN RESTAURANT PATRONS TAKE OFF RUNNING AFTER GROUP OF JOGGERS PASS BY

Everyone was apparently both embarrassed and jumpy afterwards:
"Then they said it was CrossFit," said doctor Amyr Kelner who was reportedly at the restaurant at the time, according to local media.
"It was very fast. People were coming slowly, then, when they got close to our table, they started running. I told my friend to call and hold her bag. She got up and, at that moment, someone shouted that it was a robbery. That's when I got up, shouted that it was also a robber and ran away," he told local media source G1.
"After a few minutes, we saw that nothing was happening. Everyone started laughing and went back to the tables as if nothing had happened.
"When I got up, I put my cell phone and wallet in my pocket. There were people who thought I was pulling out a gun. It's something to live in a city as insecure as ours."
Don't feel bad, Dr. Kelner, the cities in the U.S. are just as terrifying as yours!

MEDIA-RELATED STUFF: THIS WEEK
Don't use a headline such as "Ontario Prepares for Winter Weather" when all we're expecting is frost.
I was unaware until recently that CFRB's John Moore used to host a show called "Guy Stuff" on the old Canadian network E back in the day.
Was surprised to hear a commercial for a corner store in Quebec on My FM Napanee tonight.
AIR FORCE ACADEMY TELLS CADETS TO DITCH GENDER NEUTRAL TERMS LIKE MOM AND DAD
National Review
Air Force Academy Tells Cadets to Ditch Gendered Terms Like ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’
By CAROLINE DOWNEY
September 23, 2022 12:23 PM
Cadets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs have been instructed to adopt gender-inclusive language as part of their diversity and inclusion training at the esteemed military institution.
“Use words that include all genders,” the training material, obtained by Fox News, directs. It reminds readers to ask for a person’s preferred gender pronouns and names rather than referring to them by their observable sex.
Recommended substitutes for “you guys,” if a student is addressing a group of people, are gender-neutral terms including “team,” “squaddies,” “folks” and “y’all.”
“Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'” the training says. Romantic relationships have to be stripped of gender connotations, too, with the presentation suggesting the word “partner” over “boyfriend or girlfriend.”
The training suggests that lumping people into a class based on various orientations is offensive and orders students to use “person-centered” language. Instead of “the disabled,” the speaker should say “people with disabilities” and “transgender people” instead of “transgenders.”
Treating races equally by vowing to be “color blind” is not acceptable or sufficient, according to the training, which says that “color conscious,” on the other hand, is the correct language to use instead. It encourages students to distinguish based on race, to “see Color/Patterns” AND VALUE people for their uniqueness.”
The training instructs cadets to adopt gender, racial, and bodily inclusive language.
The training claims that the programming will make the country’s military more competitive, as “our leaders have deemed D&I a warfighting imperative.” It is important to “lift others (motivate our teams)” as part of a strategy to develop “warfighters.” In order to foster a “warfighter mentality” among trainees, the commandant feels instructors should prioritize inclusivity, ownership, harmony, and institutional pride, according to the presentation.
The Air Force “develops leaders of character that can lead diverse teams of Airmen and Guardians inclusively, to enhance innovation and win future conflict,” a spokesperson told Fox News. “It is the diversity of Airmen and Guardians coming from all corners of our nation who perform the Department of the Air Force’s hundreds of critical mission sets that make us the best, most innovative Air and Space Forces the world has ever known.”
