It was a year ago today since I lost my much loved Calico Lady. My cat, who shared so much with me during her life.
As most of you know, we are a sentimental bunch here at Patriotrealm and I am probably one of the most sentimental of all.
As the moment approaches, I want to reach out to all the animal lovers out there and celebrate the love they give us and the love they gave.
In these sad and troubled times, their dedication, tolerance, and love sometimes keep us going. I wrote this a year ago and my emotions are just as strong as they were back then.

We seem to have an outbreak of mental health issues throughout the world. Yelling “allah hu akbar “ is not terrorism, apparently it is a mental health issue.
People murdering others, massacres carried out – mental health issues.
There are people whose brains have been addled by drugs and they have mental health issues. Addled by religious zealous or fanatical indoctrination.

The demolition of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in the Baltic Sea is one of the most outrageous and evil acts of terrorism and sabotage in the history of our world. Now that the sabotage has been confirmed by numerous nations, the blame game has begun as everyone is wondering, “Who did it?”
Resident Joe Biden, Russophobic State Department official Victoria Nuland and GOP Senator Ron Johnson are all on the record demanding the Nord Stream pipelines be taken out, implying they will use any means necessary to achieve that outcome.
Europe’s economy, currencies and industries are in free fall, plunging toward “economic wasteland” status that’s less than a year away if natural gas supplies from Russia aren’t quickly restored.
That’s the conclusion of numerous experts who have spoken to Natural News over the last two weeks, including war correspondent Michael Yon, Finnish economist Tuomas Malinen, global agricultural trends researcher David Dubyne, and Italian-American author Leo Zagami.
Back in the 1990's I wrote this story. Computer graphics were in their infancy.
The strange thing is that the story I told is not an infantile or an old tale.
It is one that will be told through the generations when, hopefully, we defended our anthill and got rid of the soldier ants that seek to take our homes and our livelihoods.
I chose to keep the original images. Only the last image has changed. Enjoy.
Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave in Ancient Greece. He was also a storyteller and lived around 600 BC.
They always had a moral to the story, something which exists to this day: telling a tale to deliver a message.
How times change. I found this old post from 2019 and realised that the world is now reaping the reward of an old fable that has been forgotten.

Joe Biden, President of The Disunited States of America has gone past being an embarrassment. He is now actually a laughing stock and a danger to the country and the world as a whole.
As his presidency wanders aimlessly through the fog of advanced dementia, we all watch in horror and perverse amusement as he goes from one disastrous public performance to another.
In fact he is so far gone, I wonder if he is setting up a snack plate and making room for cheese that comes from the moon. It would not surprise me.
This is such a cliche, yet today, it is more true than ever before. I have been asking myself a lot these days " why do our governments and media want to divide us? ". All I can think of is that through division we will fall into disarray and become weak. What astonishes me is how easy it has been for " them " to carry out their mission. But I keep coming back to our old mates " who " , " what " "where " "when " and most importantly " why "

It is coming up for an anniversary of a passing... I always like to mark them here on my blog. John's passing marked the end of a friendship lasting over 50 years.
He was, let me say, a life that was a life WORTH having been lived. Like most lives.
A life when hard work and a solid marriage and having children and a home were all that one aspired to. And that was an accomplishment.
A normal life. Yes, it was a few years ago now, but I was reminded of him when I got an email from his sister this morning. And the years came flooding back.
Three years ago, we saw President Trump make a massive fuss of Australia. Now, while I was flattered, I could not help but ask myself “ Why? “ Considering the Prime Minister of India, Mr Modi, was also in America at the very same time, why was Australia so honoured?
The Trump/ PM Modi joint Rally attracted 50,000 adoring fans and Trump applauded India’s Sovereign borders policy and talked of the Islamic threat. No doubt referencing the Pakistan Islamic militancy and the August revocation of Article 370 . in relation to Kashmir, a much disputed area important to Pakistan, India and China. It seemed that Trump was implying support for India in this decision.
Is it finally Showtime?

“Contrary to the claims of proponents of the Green New Deal and Net Zero, fossil fuels are the greenest fuels.
First, uniquely among energy sources, fossil fuel use emits CO2, which is the ultimate source of the elemental building block, carbon, found in all carbon-based life, i.e., almost all life on Earth.”
