A beautiful, peaceful day here in Northern Calunicornia today. One would almost think this state had its stuff together.
Hilarious - to me - breakdown of the Senate Race in Mississipppi. Colum the black Democrat has a slight lead and is forecasted to win. But the comedy comes in the demographics.
Blacks -91 percent D.
Black women 99 percent D.
White men - 21 percent D
White Women - 33 percent D.
The only reason its a close race is because whites outnumber blacks 2-1.
Perspective in photos is funny, the crescent moon is never that small when I look at it with naked eye.
Prayer request. I could use some spiritual help. If any believers feel like helping me, thank you.
I know the moon is 0.5 degrees wide and a pencil eraser held at arms length will cover the full moon but I see it as bigger.
So I have a religious question for the usual suspects here:
Could Jesus see angels?
This is prompted by The Chosen's latest teaser for their new season, which starts the 16th.
https://youtu.be/05HgLbWet8c?si=ctUVcneCqhVkghAG
In the teaser, Jesus is about to be arrested in Gethsemane. Three warrior angels jump onto the walls of the garden, visible only to JC, and prepared to counterattack the Temple guards and Roman soldiers.
JC looks up at them and silently shakes his head 'no.'
This scene is of course non-Biblical. But it sort of riffs on JC's statement that he could ask the Father for twelve legions of angels to defend him.
A lot of people have been focusing on the aesthetics of the angels. I immediately had a Christological concern:
JC the man has perfect faith. Which means he does not have knowledge. He believes the angels can appear to defend him. But for this to be faith, he must have no actual experience with angels.
Of course, Christ is dual-natured: he is also The Son, Who is always with angels.
The paradox of the dual nature doctrine is that JC must simultaneously hang out with angels and have no actual knowledge of them. We will not resolve this paradox in this world. But I think that however you pin down the dual-natures doctrine, it does not anticipate pre-death JC waving off angels.
Also, JC has to feel the full sense of abandonment that we as humans feel in extremis. Angels on the walls ready to pierce some scuti are not abandonment.
(A contrary non-biblical scene, from Kazantzakis's Last Temptation of Christ, has JC seeing his Roman killers as angels hammering in the nails, then thinking "God is crucifying me!" Also some problems there, but more in keeping with the genuine human emotions he must have been feeling.
Interestingly, the actual gospels have lots of scenes of JC with demons, and with Satan himself. They all know exactly Who and What He is. And He can recognize them and of course command them.
But angels? The disputed line about angels comforting him after he sweats blood, and the undisputed but very vague line about angels ministering to him after his desert fast and temptation by Satan. No detailed information. The desert ministration could just be dropping off some food and water around the bend of a wadi.
Finally, nothing Christological, but: right before the arrest, during his bloody-sweat prayer session, JC says "Not My will, but Thine" to the Father. He resolves to go through with the Passion. So why would angels show up unbidden to defend him? Seems like they are not following the Father and Son's wills.
I dunno, what do you all think? CC, JSM
St Croix, I was writing from before you put out your prayer request. Sorry to drown it out with Bible nerdiness. The most important thing is that all will be well (Julian of Norwich). But perhaps some theological nerdery will distract you from your problems for a bit? Again, I know that all will be well for you. CC, JSM

This week I've felt like my world is a sacred and beautiful space. And an amazing, joyful gift. And a dark, and scary universe where nobody cares, and people glare at you on the street.
I can't prove "vibes" scientifically but I've definitely felt them. From women, from strangers, from music, from dogs, from a sunset, from the beach. There is no right or wrong with vibes. And thinking won't help you. There are good vibes, bad vibes, and no vibes. But man oh man, our world is an interesting place. I want to share the good news of Christ. But I also want to keep my mouth shut and my head down. I'm hoping for some Good Vibrations
God's peace, brother.
St. Croix--I don't know what you are going through, but you have my prayers. For what that is worth. Hang in there.
Great photo of the fingernail moon at dawn
2 minutes of some absolutely fantastic alternate picking from Albert Lee.

"St. Croix--I don't know what you are going through, but you have my prayers. For what that is worth. Hang in there."
FWIW, ditto.
Moon conjunction with Venus this morning.
Hmmm. Still no word about "affordability" yet?
Yeshua's fate was sealed before he was born.
"Still no word about "affordability" yet?"
"You'll own nothing and you'll be happy."
St. Croix. Talk to someone you trust and consider doing what they suggest.
Thanks josephbleau. Much appreciated.
Thank you Mason and boatbuilder. Both public and private support. And thank you John Mosby.
We have all been there, man.
I have not seen anyone on this site posting ill will towards Senator Chris Murphy who recently had a stroke. A marked difference from our friends on the left.
“Prayer request. I could use some spiritual help. If any believers feel like helping me, thank you.”
Saint Croix…
You are loved by God and me and other humans you may not even know. Don’t despair, God knows what you need. I will of course pray that whatever it is that has you feeling low will be healed. I like to think of earth with millions of bright little lights that are human prayers going up to heaven. What a beautiful sight that must be to God who loves us.
Don’t forget Saint Croix, that Inga from the Althouse blog loves you, you have a good soul, I can feel it.
St. Croix, the universe is huge and dangerous, but at its very center is the beating heart of love. Praying for you now. Peace.
I’m scheduling something with one of my priests next week.
Thank you old country lawyer!
God bless Inga, thank you so much.
Inga you about made me cry. I really appreciate this support.
St Croix, thank you for bringing this prayer request to the group. It warms my heart to be part of this community.
St. Croix, just said a Memorare for you. May our prayers be efficacious.
I would like to associate with all the good things being said to our friend Saint Croix. And if I may, I would also like to relate how when for the first time, I felt inclined to visit his blog, linked to in his profile, I found he had just written something stirring about the scourge of abortion. Just so happened I had been asking for something like that, and there it was, talk about a vibe.
Thank you, Saint Croix, and may God bless you, and keep you from harm.
“Inga you about made me cry. I really appreciate this support.”
Saint Croix, here’s a virtual hug, filled with love. God, our Creator, blessed his human children, us, with the capability of loving our neighbor.what a precious gift, despite it being very difficult to do at times. Yes, Trump is even a child of God and I have to admit I forget that quite often.
St. Croix: I was wondering if something was wrong because of some of your comments elsewhere. So now I see. I will gladly send a prayer for you; however, I do encourage you to reach out to someone IRL, and may whoever that is be a blessing.
“Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV):

Trump has worked to ease sanctions on Putin, who is now reportedly negotiating to supply Iran with advanced missiles to use in its war against, well, Trump. 5D chess genius at work.
I'm back at home, safe and sound, and on my computer. Thanks so much for the prayers, everyone.
Mosby, I love The Chosen. That's a mini-series done by some powerful Christians. I own season 1 and 2. Great independent cinema.
Thanks so much rccomal. I am genuinely touched by all this support.
Oh my God, Lem, thank you.
mongo and Caroline, strangers to me, and yet you help. It gives me tingles. thank you.
we all need help sometimes. fact of life
When Help rescues Christian from the Slough of Despond in the book “Pilgrim’s Progress”, he says, “ "It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so bad." It’s probably weird to quote from such an archaic book, but this popped into my mind after I sent the prayer, so I thought, what the heck, why not share it with you, St. Croix.
“Lem Vibe Bandit said...
Moon conjunction with Venus this morning.”
To be clear, it’s tomorrow morning:
“In Eastern Standard Time (EST), the closest approach of the conjunction will take place on Saturday morning, November 7, 2026, between 5:30 AM and 6:15 AM EST.”
It’s the closest approach of the year. In southern South America it will be an actual occultation.
FWIW St Croix,
”Why It Is Seen Positively
• The "Lesser Benefic": In Western astrology, Venus is known as the "Lesser Benefic" (a planet that brings good fortune, harmony, and joy). When it pairs with the Moon, which rules emotions, intuition, and the home, it is generally thought to bring a sense of peace, emotional alignment, and strong social connections.
• The "Morning Star" Energy: In the morning sky (as a "Morning Star"), Venus represents renewal, hope, and fresh beginnings. Watching it rise just before dawn alongside a sliver of the crescent Moon is traditionally seen as an inspiring symbol of a new day.”
I must say, in the Althouse blog there are many mansions.
“When Help rescues Christian from the Slough of Despond in the book “Pilgrim’s Progress”, he says, “ "It is not the pleasure of the King that this place should remain so bad."
Thanks, that is a great quote.
I had a heck of a dream last night! Oh my goodness. Peaceful Islam and the Jews and the Christians on one side. Not to mention the sweet atheists. All 19 of them. A little too much alcohol in the celebration. "We know there is God because there is beer!"
"I heard it was actually wine and not beer."
"Ben Franklin, I love that guy."
"They told me Ye was playing. They sucked me in with Ye, but I don't see Ye."
"What I want to know is why the Christians get to cry in public." And so on and so forth. It was a crazy party. It was a love fest. No orgies, you know. It's like "love" and "sex" are two completely different things or something. In my dream, you understand.
The big 3 religions getting along in public, more or less. And the atheists were all, "I might not be an atheist. You don't know. You don't know what's going on in my mind."
"All you need is love! Love. All you need is love! Love. All you need is love! Love. Love is all you need." A lot of Beatles music. "I think the Beatles might be the best band the world has ever seen."
"I know it's crazy but I like the Sex Pistols," some damn happy feminist says. That's right, happy feminists. Happy feminists in my dream! I know, it's crazy. They believed in equality and shit. Men and women getting married and sleeping together. "I don't care if we get married or not married," some hot lesbian says. "We were just fucking with y'all. You want marriage back? You can have marriage back if you want marriage back. The main thing is that we don't get raped. We hate that."
"Take my wife. Please." The Baptist says.
"You have no sense of humor," the Orthodox Jew says.
"Is it 609 Commandments in the Bible, or 613 Commandments in the Bible?" The smart ass in the back says. "I only know like 22 Commandments."
"22? That's pretty good if you know 22."
"God invented orgasms! We know God loves us because of orgasms. He invented orgasms! You think your hairless monkeys are nice enough to invent orgasms? Only God is cool enough and nice enough and lovely enough to give us the orgasms. You know how many ways a cruel creator could have invented a way to reproduce? An infinite number of ways. But only a God who loves us gives us orgasms!"
"Shits are hilarious!" some peace-lover from Japan says. "God is shitty."
"No! Damn it. God is the shit. That's what the kids say."
"Is there a public shower where I can wash?" OCD man says.
"You can't be nude in public. We got kids here."
"OH SHIT!" everybody screams. The party gets super quiet. Everybody looks around.
"I don't see any 6 year olds. Where are the 6 year olds?" some Episcopalian asks.
"Shhhh. They are in the next room. And the walls are sound-proof," the Hindu says.
"Thanks a lot for wrecking the party, Ralph."
And the curtain closes. And somebody walks out in a tuxedo. "We're thinking of calling it Love Island."
"That sounds gay as shit!" somebody screams.
"What about Hate Island?"
"Oh?" the man in the tuxedo says. "You want to go to Hate Island?"
And that's when I wake up. Apparently, I did not want to go to Hate Island. Or Fear Island. Or Shit Your Pants Island. Or Rape Island. Or Kill People For Fun Island.
My brain was like, "Nope. I'm not in the mood for a nightmare tonight, all right?"
Sorry if my dream is a little confused. I got to go back to sleep.
Jesus called Satan the Father of Lies. Which I think is a clue or something. Don't lie to people. Be as honest as you can. Honesty is important. Don't be brutal or mean, either. Be nice. Or be quiet. You can always say nothing! That's an option. Silence is golden. Talk is cheap.
Sending prayers. May God grant us all strength and peace.
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.
Jesus says so many amazing things. People get caught up in one or two sentences, and become obsessed with those one or two sentences. Satan can get you that way.
I have discovered that I do not do well in isolation. Writers can be very isolated. You sit in front of a screen and write. You are very much in your head. And you're cut off from other people.
I do much, much better in community. I am very happy when I am here. (Maybe too happy sometimes). God bless the Althouse blog. She inspires me. And not just Althouse, but her rag-tag group of independent thinkers.
I love y'all very much.
Althouse kept me focused on abortion, all the way up until Roe v. Wade was overruled. Once it was overruled, she lost interest in the subject, more or less. And I barely write on it. Although aborting up until birth is crazy as shit.
I'm not sure if Bari Weiss can play the Althouse role for me. I'm not sure if she can provide a platform for me. I'm not sure she wants to! Who knows if these free speakers are honest or not honest. Maybe they just like to pretend to be free speakers. Maybe I just pretend to be pro-life. We all can do better, when we do the stuff we like to do.
Yes, Trump is even a child of God and I have to admit I forget that quite often.
I am very impressed that you said this, Inga.
Prayers sent.
thanks Achilles
I just googled "false prophet" and the damn AI reported that we should beware sheep dressed as wolves.
I think you're a false prophet, AI!
There is a house nearby that is flying the Israeli flag under the Stars and Stripes. Makes me smile.
Another major theme in Christianity is "the way." As in, don't get lost, and go down the wrong road. Don't keep circling, around and around, trying to find your way back home. This can be scary. You are lost. And it's ridiculous, because you ought to know where you are. Your phone app isn't working right. Maybe it led you down a bad path.
And it makes you so happy, to find the right road. The road you know. Jesus is the way. Stay on that road and you'll be all right.
In the same vein, Jesus said: “No one comes to the Father but by me”.
Yes, St. Croix, The Chosen has another non-Biblical line that is so good it should have been in the Bible:
"I only have one thing to do today: follow Him." CC, JSM
I think that what cost Trump this drubbing is that the election asked Americans to directly vote on attacking a country that had never done anything to us except in self defense and defense of allies who were under foreign occupation, in order to take their oil.
There is a French saying, “It’s an evil beast, when attacked, it defends itself.”
Jaq. Are you really that ignorant? Unbelievable.

LOL!
You are such a retard. You can't be this stupid and deluded. You just can't.
You just need to go live with your muslim heroes. You just have no idea what the actual world is like outside the fever dream you have built yourself.
On the flip side I am all for every congressman and senator who has taken AIPAC money being put in jail for treason.
I have nothing against Israel for bribing our senators and congressman. It is the smart thing for a foreign country to do. We know that almost every country is doing it.
But our senators and congressman being bribed is a problem.
Headline from Salon: “Human-on-dolphin sex is not really that weird”.
Salon magazine announced it is closing its doors. Not sure why.
@TickTock, yes he really is. He thinks Iran should have been allowed to develop nuclear weapons to be exploded in Tel Aviv, Nrw York, Washingyon, etc.
Jaq, really? Are you daft?
When I googled "unable to relax," I got this
Being physically or mentally unable to relax usually happens because your nervous system is stuck in a protective state (such as "fight or flight" or hypervigilance), rather than a simple lack of willpower.
Why Your Body Won't Power Down
• Nervous System Dysregulation: If you have experienced chronic stress, trauma, or ongoing pain, your body may fail to return to baseline even when your schedule is calm.
• The "Tired but Wired" Effect: Adrenaline and cortisol keep your engine running, making stillness feel uncomfortable, dangerous, or guilt-inducing.
• Physiological Triggers: Sleep disruption, high caffeine intake, blood sugar spikes, or hidden physical inflammation can keep your internal alarm sounding
I do have a lot of stress in my life right now. Usually I use humor to reduce stress. Sometimes humor can backfire.
Anyway, please don't worry about me. Don't stress yourself out. I'm in good shape, just tired. Thank you so much, Althouse blog.
Donald Trump stole US military secrets for Israel and Israel bartered them to the Soviets. Trump commuted the life sentence he was serving for treason, and now Congress, the Republican Congress, is preparing to pass a law that would make Pollard’s treason perfectly legal by making available to them all of our technical secrets, giving them access to all of our intelligence, intercpts, satellite, whatever, and the Democrats won’t stop it because Israel owns Scummer too.
“Are you daft?”
Please give us an example where Iran attacked the US where we weren’t a foreign power occupying a country in their neighborhood, or hadn’t installed a brutal dictator in their country in a coup and controlled their oil for 25 years. I will wait.
Jonathon Pollard stole the secrets, Trump pardoned him, and he now lives as a hero in Israel. What a typo!
And I do have a clue how the world works, and I don’t like it, and I voted against it.
Jaq, no matter who you think you are, or what 'cause' you think you are standing for, understand this: When they get half a chance, the Muslims will take your head just like they would mine. And they don't give a single f*** what you have to say about Jews or Israel on some remote blog (apologies Ann) in the US. You're just a useful idiot to them. I don't give you that much credit. To me you're not even useful.
Jaq says we earned all the terrorist attacks since the Shah was deposed in 1979. Same with Israel I suppose. Good to know.
Never argue with a donkey
or wrestle with a pig
@BillieBob. You’re correct. Lost my head there.
God bless you, Saint Croix. I pray that you get what you need.
So you guys have no answer but commies and Muslims. That’s why you lost.
And why should we fight a costly war because Israel was attacked? Hezbollah formed while Israel was occupying southern Lebanon, BTW.
I got ya StC.
Prayer request honored, St C. God bless you.
Iman @ 6:14
California is a beautiful state. A lot of trails and back roads. Until you get out of the car and start walking. Silverado Canyon trail. People diligently pick up after their dogs and just leave the bags along the trail. Same for the beach.
Another fear I have is maybe I will be mentally ill one day. My Father has Parkinson's. He's 84. He's got full on dementia right now. I love him but I can't stand to sit in the room with him. My Mom is also 84. She is his power of attorney. My mom is great with money. (I am not great with money). Her short term memory is really bad. Other than that, her brain is fine. I might have some ADD. I watched a lot of cartoons when I was a kid. So my brain jumps around. It's super fast sometimes. My sleep is horrible. I take a lot of naps. I asked my father one time if I might be mentally ill. And I listed all the symptoms I could imagine. And my Dad just looked at me and goes, "Taylor, you are not mentally ill." And I was so relieved and happy to hear him say that. That's what I thought too. But I'm biased.
Anyway, whatever went wrong yesterday, I'm good now. Thank you for the prayers. No need to keep sending them. But prayers are free, so I'll take as many as you want to give. Love you guys.
Not sure what your issue is Saint Croix, but know that God hears your prayers. And the others also. Take comfort.
Commies and Radical Islam won - Jaq - be happy.
Sant Croix, I hope the coming days bring you some peace and renewed happiness. Take care.
St C, both my grandfather and father died of Alzheimer’s so I live in the grace of God too, wondering, making the most of each day.
Rusty @7:43AM… I did say almost, lol. I grew up behind the Orange Curtain of the O.C.. Back when Silverado and Trabuco Canyons were still rustic, very little housing developments, with seasonal creeks and orange groves dotted the county’s landscape.
I barely recognize it now.
BTW, I don’t think that any of our soldiers “deserved” these attacks, they are not the ones who decided to fight these wars, like Iraq, or even to be in a barracks in Lebanon that got blown up as a US warship was shelling the Lebanese in the Beka Valley on the behalf of Israel, and foolishly ordered to be there by their government.
All I can do is vote against governments that pursue these actions. But thanks for putting words in my mouth.
“Please give us an example where Iran attacked the US where we weren’t a foreign power occupying a country in their neighborhood, or hadn’t installed a brutal dictator in their country in a coup and controlled their oil for 25 years. I will wait.”
I won’t make you wait long. It happened 57 years and 3 days ago. Under international law a nation’s embassy is legally that nation’s sovereign territory,* ergo the Iranian “students” invaded sovereign American territory.
____________________
* For those wondering, from the perspective of international law, when the Clinton administration bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade in May 1999, from a legal perspective we dropped bombs on sovereign mainland China.
Make that 47 years and 3 days ago, Big Mike. Well said, sir.
Is it against international law to overthrow an elected government and replace him with a dictator who ruled brutally via his secret police and signed over its resources to us, like we did to Iran in 1953?
What about for us to provide Saddam with the precursors to chemical weapons, which he used against Iran and killed half a million Iranians? Is that against international law?
Jaq reminds us that the blowing up of the Marine barracks in Lebanon (October 23, 1983) happened "as a US warship was shelling the Lebanese in the Beka [sic] Valley", as if the bombing were a reaction to the shelling. In fact, it was the other way around. The battleship New Jersey was sent to the area after terrorists blew up the U.S. embassy in Beirut, not a legitimate target, killing 63, on April 18th of the same year. Whether this gross ignorance is first-hand, or second-hand (he's copying talking points), or pretended (he knows the truths, but lies to deceive the less-informed), is hard to say.
The "precursors to chemical weapons" are chemicals legitimately used as insecticides to protect crops, and traded internationally by all civilized countries for that purpose. It was naive not to realize that Saddam wanted them to make weapons to kill people, but I don't think any American realized, until it was too late, what he wanted them for.
Doc.
Jaqs grasp of history is at best John Belushi-esque
