My working hypothesis for some time has been that after the pandemic had run it’s course the total number of deaths from all causes would fall below the projected values because COVID-19 took so many lives earlier than otherwise would have occurred.
According to the CDC, since January, 2023 we have been experiencing ‘normal’ levels of weekly deaths in the US. Clearly, the pandemic is played out.
So, if weekly deaths do not drop below normal soon, it suggests that there is a new cause of death in effect.

"Justice"
While mowing the lawn this weekend, I was stung twice on the leg by yellow jackets. So, when I finished, I returned the favor by pouring gasoline down their hole and torching them.
I did it to protect my family; it's not OK to have aggressive insects in my front yard who may attack my family, especially when I'm not there to defend them.
The stings on my leg are annoying me today as I travel, but I confess some degree of satisfaction that fiery justice was delivered.
God commands that we love our enemies, but he also uses us on occasion to deliver justice.
Justice is not merely payment for what has already occurred, but also defense from what is likely to occur again.

"Days at Home"
I'm only home for a few days per month this year. So when I'm home my phone is usually off and family is my priority.
I try to do things that make my wife happy and my absence less painful (honey-do's). I also spend quality time with Nellie... she misses her daddy despite our daily FaceTimes.
So if I'm behind on my communications with you folks, please forgive me. I'm working my way through the list.

“Recidivism”
I spoke to a pastor last year who is also a part-time parole officer with a case load of twenty. He told me that nineteen of the twenty cases he monitors are typically child molesters.
I asked him how often the convicts repeat their previous offense. He said about eighty percent.
Think about this…
By releasing these nineteen sexual predators back into the public we are robbing at least sixteen youngsters of their childhoods—indeed, condemning some to death or a life of sex-trafficking.
That’s assuming we catch the predators after their first repeat offense.
I believe in forgiveness and redemption, but not at the expense of innocent children. I also believe in justice. If someone hurts a young child, their liberty is forfeit at the least.
The fact that we permit this lays bare the low value we place on human life.
We are depraved.
Protect your children.
Kyrie eleison.

Great day of fishing in MT with Dad.
Tomorrow, it's back to the grind, meeting with grassroots teams and county comissioners.

"Climate Change Update"
Each month I post Dr Spencer's average global temperature graph for the lower atmosphere. It is the ENTIRE satellite record, because we only put them up there in 1979.
This is the precise portion of the atmosphere where human caused effects were supposed to be observed. Clearly, nothing has materialized yet. Instead, we see continuation of the same 1.3C per hundred year natural trend since the little ice age.
