Using a computer at the law mines and I am able to get through to the dash board. I will post what I can between legal activities.

Here’s some nerdy information about the vintage test pattern above.
There’s a lot packed into that one image!

In my day after Captain Video the test pattern came on and we watch it The TV was new and the channel 5 Dumont test pattern assured us that the TV was operable and we waited for the next show: Howdy Dowdy?
Donald, some months ago my ISP WiFi prevented me from posting on TAC. Posting via 5GLTE and via different ISP WiFi at the homes of family members was without a problem. Something obviously happened that results in my posts at TAC being banned or blocked or going into moderation when on my home ISP WiFi. Indeed, my home ISP WiFi prevents connection to my work place’s VPN; I must use an ethernet cable to plug my work computer into my WiFi modem. Therefore, I think perhaps your ISP WiFi security settings are preventing you from TAC access at home; likely your ISP did a security upgrade unbeknownst to you, and lo and behold, the present problem. There is something unique in the TAC blog that certain ISPs simply reject. As for my work computer, we got more cyber security overlays than my daughter’s Chihuahua has fleas. 😞
BTW, this comment is being made via 5GLTE and NOT my home ISP WiFi.
Still working on smiting the gremlins from the Kremlin! I hope we will be back sometime today.
Donald, are you certain the gremlins are from the Kremlin and not from Zhongnanhai within the Xicheng District of Beijing, adjacent to the Forbidden City? That’s where the Chinese Communist Party sits, and where they appoint Bishops for the Catholic Church in China. 😉
Mary De Voe, my parents first TV was a Dumont. The cabinet had the TV, phonograph and radio. The picture tube was huge. We still have the mahogany cabinet at my parents’ house.
Still at war with the gremlins! In the meantime, a topic for discussion would be Pope Bob’s latest attempt to carry on his predecessor’s Green Crusade by creating environmental sins against the Creator. Many problems with this, particularly using the category of sin to encompass prudential judgements as to how the natural world should be used. Feel free to discuss this and other issues of the moment in this thread.
Another item for possible discussion in this thread. The mainstream media is doing their best to bury it.
Anyone else a fan of the radio version of Gunsmoke?
Never forget that the human side of the Church is currently being governed by villains and complete morons:
I’d like to hear Tucho’s personal definition of “discrimination” before I render judgement. Wasn’t he pushing for Lutherans to be able to receive the Eucharist? Could be discriminatory to forbid it.
Still swatting at the gremlins. At least we are learning what isn’t working in our attempts to fix this problem.
In the meantime, Trump has resolved the Greenland issue to the advantage of the United States.
Trump was put on this Earth to make deals. Something his enemies always forget, and something his friends sometime forget.
testing
Your test post was timestamped 11:11 PM yesterday, FWIW.
Still working at it. Frustrating. In the meantime use the link below to view the latest prayerful posse:

Kicking traditional Catholics in the teeth is the favorite sport of the gang running the Vatican.
Evil woman.
You never knew what de Gaulle was going to say:
DeGaulle was given a tour of the battlefield by the Soviets in 1944. This exchange occurred with one of his aides:
Charles deGaulle: “Ah, Stalingrad! C’est tout de même un peuple formidable, un très grand peuple.”
AW: “Ah, oui, les Russes…”
Charles deGaulle: “Mais non. Je ne parle pas des Russes, je parle des Allemands. Tout de même, avoir poussé jusque là !”
Roughly translated:
Charles deGaulle: “Ah, Stalingrad! All the same, they are a great people, a very great people.”
AW: “Ah, yes, the Russians…”
Charles deGaulle: “No, I’m not talking about the Russians; I mean the Germans. In spite of everything, to have pushed so far!”
I am learning what you all go through when you comment!
Canadian delusions:
I wonder how cozying up to the EU is playing with the more conservative provinces of Canada.
They weren’t real fond of Canadian socialists telling them what to do – what do they think of Ottawa shoving them into bed with foreign socialists?
I hope this site is back online soon!
Me too! Our tech support is giving it the highest priority.
