Supremacy is not granted it’s earned

Definition: the state or condition of being superior to all others in authority, power, or status.

I have never understood an ethnicities position of being superior over others ethnicity, simply because they are X and not Y

Swap out for religion, gender, sexuality, etc.

As a Satanist supremacy is not granted because of how or where you were born, but rather what you bring to the table. 

We require those we look up to to be able to deliver the goods so to speak

We demand that if you claim supremacy that you prove it. 

Satanists are not inherently better than any other religious individual, we have an honest assessment of our strengths and faults, which prevents one from having an overblown ego or innate sense of superiority

Now, this may not be present in every Satanist in their First Phase, but it is an inevitable result of exposure and experience to life, objective reality and self-assessment

A First Phast Satanist is simply thrilled they found Satanism, and believe that because the founder was near his Self-Actualized peak, then any Satanist should be there.

The truth is, Anton LaVey was a flawed human, and a bad businessman. Even with that, he lives in infamy and created a religion and organization that stands alone against the world championing individuality and empowerment.

What can you do with the acknowledgement of being a Satanist? 

When I see white supremacists front their superiority, I laugh. When they ask me about my wolfs hook, I proudly reply, I am not a White Supremacist, I am an ISupremacist, and the difference from them to me is that I can prove it through my real world achievements.

Rather than focusing on others and trying to drag them down, I focus on myself and work to lift myself up higher towards self actualization.

Earth is about to lose its second moon, forever

https://www.space.com/farewell-minimoon-so-2020

Earth's second moon will make a close approach to the planet next week before drifting off into space, never to be seen again.

"What second moon," you ask? Astronomers call it 2020 SO — a small object that dropped into Earth's orbit about halfway between our planet and the moon in September 2020. Temporary satellites like these are known as minimoons, though calling it a moon is a bit deceptive in this case; in December 2020, NASA researchers learned that the object isn't a space rock at all, but rather the remains of a 1960s rocket booster involved in the American Surveyor moon missions.

This non-moon minimoon made its closest approach to Earth on Dec. 1 (the day before NASA identified it as the long-lost booster), but it's coming back for one more victory lap, according to EarthSky.org. Minimoon 2020 SO will make a final close approach to Earth on Tuesday (Feb. 2) at roughly 140,000 miles (220,000 kilometers) from Earth, or 58% of the way between Earth and the moon.

The booster will drift away after that, leaving Earth's orbit entirely by March 2021, according to EarthSky. After that, the former minimoon will be just another object orbiting the sun.

Are you offended by others' religiosity?

As Satanists it it normal for others to be offended by our existence.

It’s traditionally out of ignorance

Information is based on lies spread by abrahamic religions

So it is easy to understand why Satanists would learn to hate or become offended by others religions, as they are the primary source for our own direct hostility

Are the followers of any religion, the religion?

Is a single Satanis, Satanism?

Why should we be offended by the religious display of an individual?

First Hand Account of the COVID-19 Vaccine

From Jason M., January 2, 2021

He’s been in healthcare since 2005, first as an EMT for 8 years. From 2010 to present in dialysis as well as recently helping out in the microbiology lab in a hospital

Day 1: I pre-dosed with acetaminophen in anticipation of headache, muscle and joint pain. Checked my temperature throughout the day. No changes. At the end of the night, the muscle I received the injection in was a little sore. That was gone by the next morning.

Day 2-4: Nothing. Temperature stayed within my normal range. On occasion I thought *maybe* a brief wave of lightheadedness, congestion, muscle and joint pain was going to start into something more. But it dissipated quickly and was more likely attributed to being old and working out twice in 1 week for the first time in a month.

As mundane as this experience was after Dose 1, side effects are reported as being more severe after Dose 2, which I will receive on Jan 19. I’ll give it the same 4 days (unless something happens right away) and update with how it went and also update any of the above info should new data come out.

People have always been fought against vaccinations: https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/history-anti-vaccination-movements

This site combines some basic anti-vaxx history that I have read on other sites. People have always fought against vaccines, including smallpox, Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTP), Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR). Included are completely fabricated, unproven illnesses supposedly related to the vaccines.

Most notably, there was a bullshit report that MMR caused autism. This has been debunked repeatedly and the doctor involved lost his license. In addition, it came to light that he was hired by lawyers of parents of children with autism to make a connection so they could sue. The more in-depth writeup is here : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/

BUT, this misinformation persists two decades later and many people STILL believe vaccines cause autism and use it in their “reasoning” to not get any vaccines.

Can the government make you take the vaccine?

Short answer: Technically yes. 

But the 14th Amendment says they can’t!

Except the Supreme Court ruled against the plaintiff in Jacobson v Massachusetts in 1905. Basically, the SC stated that a state’s mandate was in the name of public health and safety and where “every person is necessarily subjected for the common good.”

But would the government do it today?

Probably not, primarily for the absolute hell it would cause. Besides it is very likely the current SC would probably break from that 1905 precedent.

Can the government force us to quarantine?

Yep. Both Federal and State governments can mandate that people quarantine. https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/aboutlawsregulationsquarantineisolation.html

But, if everyone else gets the vaccine, then why should I bother?

The success of most vaccines against serious disease is predicated on everyone getting the vaccine. An unvaccinated person is a weak link that a virus can use to take hold and infect those who can’t get the vaccine (ie due to allergies) or are among the small percentage of people the vaccine doesn’t work for. If *everyone* is vaccinated, that makes the likelihood infinitesimal.

Polio is a perfect example. It is considered eradicated in the US because everyone was vaccinated. 2 of the 3 wild type (viruses as they occur in nature) polioviruses in the world have been listed as eradicated because the polio vaccine is freely given to everyone possible. 

BUT, here’s where people get confused: polio the disease is gone in the US, but the poliovirus still exists in the world. Wild Type 1 has not been eradicated. All it would take is one infected person to enter the US amongst a population of people who now refuse the vaccine because it’s “gone.” A generation of non-vaccinated people would be a freaking buffet for the poliovirus. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/ipv.html#:~:text=I%20learn%20more%3F-,Why%20get%20vaccinated%3F,and%20many%20recover%20without%20complicationshttps://www.cdc.gov/polio/what-is-polio/polio-us.html

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?

In an ongoing clinical bial, the Pf12er-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has been shown to prevent COVID-19 following 2 doses given 3 weeks apart. The duration of protection against COVID-19 is currently unknown.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE PFIZER..SIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE?

Side effects that have been reported with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine include:

injection site pain

tiredness

headache

muscle pain

chills

joint Pain

fever

injection site swelling

injection site redness

nausea

feeling unwell

swollen lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy)

There is a remote chance that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine could cause a severe allergic reaction. A severe allergic reaction would usually occur within a few minutes to one hour after getting a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine.

Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:

Difficulty breathing

Swelling of your face and throat

A fast heartbeat

A bad rash all over your body

Dizziness and weakness

From Jason M, January 18, 2021

I'll give it the same 4 days then drop a line with any side effects. More intense side effects are generally expected thank after Dose 1.

Of those I know that have had Dose 2, most complained of increased lethargy. One said she had a fever.

I have one coworker that has had Dose 1 of the Moderna vaccine. He stated no side effects.

There hasn't been a lot of new info being released. Whether a vaccinated person can transmit the virus to others is still unknown. Though a recent Israeli study shows that it might. https://news.yahoo.com/pfizer-vaccine-may-prevent-transmission-235920512.html

I find this pertinent because getting vaccinated generally makes it so you can't transmit the virus. So getting vaccinated helps yourself as well as everyone around you. But if a vaccinated person can still transmit the virus, then the vaccine only benefits that person. If that is the case, then I would definitely reduce my advocacy for people getting vaccinated because if they choose not to it'll only be their problem, so who cares.

From Jason M., January 24th, 2021

Day 2 after Dose 2 there was some general lethargy, eased up as the day went on.

For about a 24 hour period there was some mild gastrointestinal discomfort from Day 2 - 3.

Nothing I experienced was outside of expected side effects. Mine were milder than generally stated by Pfizer/FDA.

Coworkers reported headache,1 fever, lethargy, joint/muscle pain for a few days.

So nothing really all that exciting. Good for me, bad for compelling storytelling. Of course, that is how it's supposed to go.

There was a recent instance in CA where one lot of Moderna gave 6 people severe reactions, which is an inordinate amount, particularly in 1 spot within 1 lot. The lot was temporarily set aside, but the investigation is done and the lot was OK'd to use again. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/why-california-put-a-pause-on-a-single-lot-of-the-moderna-covid-19-vaccine

Romney on Trump impeachment: 'If we're going to have unity,' there must be 'accountability'

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/romney-trump-impeachment-trial-fox-news-sunday

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, expressed support for the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, telling "Fox News Sunday" that a trial is needed to achieve "truth and justice."

Romney, who voted to convict Trump at his first impeachment, cited Trump's effort to convince Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state's election result, as well as his call for a march on the U.S. Capitol at a Jan.  6 rally immediately preceding the violent riot.

"Well, we're certainly going to have a trial. I wish that weren't necessary, but the president's conduct with regards to the call to Secretary of State Raffensperger in Georgia as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led to the attack on the Capitol call for a trial," Romney said.

"And, you know, if we're going to have unity in our country, I think it's important to recognize the need for accountability, for truth and justice."

Romney said the House's article of impeachment "suggests impeachable conduct," but he acknowledged that he and his fellow senators have yet to hear arguments from the two sides. He said he will "do my best as a Senate juror to apply justice as well as I can understand it."

The Republican went on to slam Trump, not just for his words and actions in the months following the election, but for what he said leading up to it, going as far back as to his first impeachment.

"I think it's pretty clear that over the last year or so there has been an effort to corrupt the election in the United States," Romney said. "It was not by President Biden, it was by President Trump. ... That corruption we saw with regards to the conduct in Ukraine, as well as the call to Secretary of State Raffensperger, as well as the incitation to insurrection.

We embrace reality

Not just of the world around us, which is essential in Lesser Magic

But of ourselves also. This allows us to continually improve and grow

We do not bloviate our own ego. We acknowledge our own strengths and flaws.

We acknowledge our carnal roots, that we are in fact animals with an immense capacity for raising ourselves up or self destruction

We do not forget why culture, religion and society are they way they are, and use that as a guide to discover uncomfortable third side perspectives

We have tools at our disposal in the form of Satanic Magic. Lesser Magic or applied psychology and Greater Magic or psychodrama. This allows us to manipulate those around us, refocus ourselves when clouded and drive with intention through life.

We question all things, Satanism included. We challenge established dogmas as we stand outside of them with a whole perspective. 

We are learned. We demand study not worship. Of course when applied to Satanism, but to our lives as well. 

We champion the idea of the Magic of Mastery. That to be truly great, it takes effort, skill, drive and desire. This is real world accomplishment in action.

We welcome change in ourselves and environments that are driven by us. An ever evolving sense of personal aesthetics, and the crafting of total environments.

Will Trump’s mishandling of records leave a hole in history?

https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-technology-politics-vladimir-putin-russia-65748b70e3cf3f7eecffa265da9ccae7

The public won’t see President Donald Trump’s White House records for years, but there’s growing concern the collection won’t be complete, leaving a hole in the history of one of America’s most tumultuous presidencies.

Trump has been cavalier about the law requiring that records be preserved. He has a habit of ripping up documents before tossing them out, forcing White House records workers to spend hours taping them back together.

“They told him to stop doing it. He didn’t want to stop,” said Solomon Lartey, a former White House records analyst. He said the first document he taped back together was a letter from Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., about a government shutdown.

The president also confiscated an interpreter’s notes after Trump had a chat with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Trump scolded his White House counsel for taking notes at a meeting during the Russia investigation by former special counsel Robert Mueller. Top executive branch officials had to be reminded more than once not to conduct official business on private email or text messaging systems and to preserve it if they did.

And now, Trump’s baseless claim of widespread voter fraud, which postponed for weeks an acknowledgement of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, is delaying the transfer of documents to the National Archives and Records Administration, further heightening concern about the integrity of the records.

“Historians are likely to suffer from far more holes than has been the norm,” said Richard Immerman at the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. In the Trump White House, “not only has record-keeping not been a priority, but we have multiple examples of it seeking to conceal or destroy that record.”

Lack of a complete record might also hinder any ongoing investigations of Trump, from his impeachment trial and other prospective federal inquiries to investigations in the state of New York.

But even with requests by lawmakers and lawsuits by government transparency groups, there is an acknowledgment that noncompliance with the Presidential Records Act carries little consequence for Trump.

In tossing out one suit last year, U.S. Circuit Judge David Tatel wrote that courts cannot “micromanage the president’s day-to-day compliance.”

The Presidential Records Act states that a president cannot destroy records until he seeks the advice of the national archivist and notifies Congress. But the law doesn’t require him to heed the archivist’s advice. It doesn’t prevent the president from going ahead and destroying records.

Most presidential records today are electronic. Records experts estimate that automatic backup computer systems capture a vast majority of the records, but cannot capture records that a White House chooses not to create or log into those systems.

Moving a president’s trail of paper and electronic records is a laborious task. President Barack Obama left about 30 million pages of paper documents and some 250 terabytes of electronic records, including the equivalent of about 1.5 billion pages of emails.

The records of past presidents are important because they can help a current president craft new policies and prevent mistakes from being repeated.

“Presidential records tell our nation’s story from a unique perspective and are essential to an incoming administration in making informed decisions,” said Lee White, director of the National Coalition for History. “They are equally vital to historians.”

The Biden administration can request to see Trump records immediately, but the law says the public must wait five years before submitting Freedom of Information Act requests. Even then, Trump — like other presidents before him — is invoking specific restrictions to public access of his records for up to 12 years. Six restrictions outlined in the law include national security, confidential business information, confidential communications between the president and his advisers or among his advisers and personal information.

Around Trump’s first impeachment and on other sensitive issues, some normal workflow practices were bypassed, a second person familiar with the process said. Apparently worried about leaks, higher-ups and White House lawyers became more involved in deciding which materials were catalogued and scanned into White House computer networks where they are automatically saved, this person said.

Trump was criticized for confiscating the notes of an interpreter who was with him in 2017 when the president talked with Putin in Hamburg, Germany. Lawmakers tried unsuccessfully to obtain the notes of another interpreter who was with Trump in 2018 when he met with Putin in Helsinki, Finland. It’s unclear whether the two presidents talked about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Many people suspected the subject did come up because at a news conference afterward, Trump said he believed Putin when Putin denied Russian interference despite U.S. intelligence agencies finding the opposite.

Several weeks ago, the National Security Archive, two historical associations and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington sued to prevent the Trump White House from destroying any electronic communications or records sent or received on nonofficial accounts, such as personal email or WhatsApp.

They also alleged that the White House has already likely destroyed presidential materials.

Trump faces several legal challenges when he leaves the White House. There are two New York state inquiries into whether he misled tax authorities, banks or business partners. Also, two women alleging he sexually assaulted them are suing him.

Presidential records were considered a president’s personal property until the Watergate scandal under President Richard Nixon prompted Congress in 1978 to pass the Presidential Records Act over worry that Nixon would destroy White House tape recordings that led to his resignation.

After that, presidential records were no longer considered personal property but the property of the American people — if they are preserved. Lawmakers have introduced legislation to require audits of White House record-keeping and compliance with the law.

GOP Senator Ben Sasse warned that the QAnon conspiracy theory movement is destroying the Republican Party

https://www.businessinsider.com/qanon-senator-sasse-says-conspiracy-is-destroying-the-republican-party-2021-1

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska has warned that the QAnon conspiracy theory movement is destroying the GOP in a blistering op-ed for The Atlantic. 

In the article, Sasse describes how devotees of the movement played a prominent role in the Capitol's January 6 riots. 

"The violence that Americans witnessed—and that might recur in the coming days—is not a protest gone awry or the work of "a few bad apples." It is the blossoming of a rotten seed that took root in the Republican Party some time ago and has been nourished by treachery, poor political judgment, and cowardice," writes Sasse.

He praises Capitol Police officer Eugene Goodman for luring a mob led by a man wearing a QAnon shirt away from a chamber where senators and Vice President Mike Pence were present during the unrest. 

"We can dedicate ourselves to defending the Constitution and perpetuating our best American institutions and traditions, or we can be a party of conspiracy theories, cable-news fantasies, and the ruin that comes with them," he continues. "We can be the party of Eisenhower, or the party of the conspiracist Alex Jones. We can applaud Officer Goodman or side with the mob he outwitted. We cannot do both."

The QAnon conspiracy theory movement arose on messaging boards 4Chan and 8Chan in 2017 and has gone on to be embraced by a swath of the Republican grassroots, praised by President Donald Trump and seen an adherent, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, elected to Congress. 

The movement believes groundlessly that Democrats and Hollywood stars run child abuse networks, which Trump is working to dismantle. Adherents who stormed the Capitol believed that they were triggering The Storm, an event in which they believe that Trump will mass execute his political foes. 

In the essay, Sasse describes Greene as a "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

Why Satanists should stop crying about free speech.

If you live in America, you are told that you have inalienable rights, and that all men are created equal. We know both of these statements are lies.

There is no such thing as equality, and every right we have, comes with restrictions.

Why then are Satanists who inherently are a counter or sub culture, so obsessed over a public corporation restricting speech on their platforms? 

We are supposed to not be forgetful of past orthodoxies, like when we were demonised for existing, and yet we cry when popular culture rejects us. OF COURSE THEY DO

I thought that was part of the point. We didn’t want to be part of popular culture, and yet there you are, engaging in it at every opportunity, flying your bad guy badge

Why are you a Satanist? Is it to show other people how edgy you are, or is it to be yourself, for yourself? 

Why do you use public forums to share your edgy ideas if that is not what you should be doing as a Satanist? How is that helping you as an individual?

Why should you care if a public arena doesnt want your voice, YOU SHOULDN'T WANT THAT PUBLIC ARENA!

Your free speech isn't being hampered, just your ego, when you are banned from a public platform. You shouldn’t have been there in the first place. You are acting as a member of the herd, the very herd you propose to dislike or reject.

You are the very thing you hate.

Pro-Trump Republican freshmen who joined Josh Hawley's election crusade should worry us

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/pro-trump-republican-freshmen-who-joined-josh-hawley-s-election-ncna1253634

This week’s biggest political story was undoubtedly the violent attempted coup perpetrated by President Donald Trump’s supporters at the U.S. Capitol. But we should not forget the legislative event that this long-planned insurrection coincided with, and indeed was largely motivated by. Some eight Republican senators and 139 Republican House members objected to the Electoral College vote tallies in Pennsylvania and Arizona confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in. As has been written previously and exhaustively, these objections were always doomed to fail.

But the objections did their job of providing a public spectacle and a rallying cry for insurrectionists. It prolonged and drew attention to a process that, for nearly every presidential election, has served as a rubber stamp. It served as a chance for Republican members to signal their fealty to Donald Trump above all else. It gave them an opportunity to say that they would rather lose American democracy than see Trump lose an election.

Importantly, some members protested the presidential election results in their own states. That is, they objected to the electoral systems that put them in office. Others objected to the elections that put their new colleagues in office.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was sworn in on Sunday as Doug Jones’ replacement — one of his first acts as a senator was to object to a free and fair election. Indeed, he did so after Wednesday’s violent events. He was one of three newly minted senators to register objections to one or both of the states.

In the House, the number of first-time lawmakers opposing Electoral College vote totals was far higher. Those who objected included Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Diana Harshbarger of Tennessee.

Not long ago, calling for the overturning of a presidential election was seen as a risky activity, and the only people who would make such arguments were either stray cranks or those with enough experience and with respectable enough reputations to be taken seriously. For these freshmen Republicans to be doing so with just a few days of experience under their belts suggests such extremism is now a mainstream position within the Republican Party — and distinguishing oneself by undermining democratic elections is a possible path to advancement. This is highly concerning for the future.

But to find another widespread objection to legitimate election results in which the bulk of a major party simply refuses to accept the other party’s victory, you’d really have to go back to 1860, as E.J. Dionne noted in a recent piece. Southern Democrats vehemently objected to Abraham Lincoln’s election because the Republican had made clear his party’s opposition to the expansion of slavery into U.S. territories. The Southern Democrats were not simply objecting this his policies, however — they considered his election illegitimate, dismissing him as a sectional president who won only around 40 percent of the popular vote.

We shouldn’t lionize these people, obviously — these members of Congress were agitating on behalf of human enslavement, and their actions fomented the Civil War. They were, as Lincoln observed, advocating anarchy. But in some ways, their approach was more honest. They didn’t manufacture flimsy evidence or bizarre theories to try to claim that Lincoln was improperly elected. Rather, they said that a nation that could elect Lincoln was not one they wanted to be a part of. They valued the slave economy more than they valued democracy and rather than accept a loss, they left. Today’s protesting Republicans offer no such (corrupted) principles; they want to trash democratic elections because Trump lost, even while they benefit from their own elections under the same system.

The danger inherent in the Republicans’ behavior today is not as immediate as that perpetrated by Democrats in 1860, but it is nonetheless substantial. Imagine if Republicans win control of the House and Senate in 2022 (historically quite plausible) and Biden wins reelection in 2024 by similar margins in swing states. Now imagine Republicans filing the same objections as they have this month, following the precedent they laid down in 2020, only they now have the votes to dismiss electoral votes and theoretically install a Republican president. The result is a democratic crisis, no less of one than the nation faced in the early 1860s.

Here’s how to spot the rare conjunction of Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn in the sky tonight

https://www.khon2.com/news/national/heres-how-to-spot-the-rare-conjunction-of-jupiter-mercury-saturn-in-the-sky-tonight/

Those who got a kick out of watching Jupiter and Saturn cozy up in what some called the “Christmas Star” may want to look outside a little after sundown from Saturday, Jan. 9, to Monday, Jan. 12.

From Jan. 9-12, Jupiter and Saturn will be joined by Mercury in the southwestern sky.

The celestial event is known as a “triple conjunction,” which means three planets appear to meet each other in the sky for a short period of time. In reality, they are millions of miles apart. The formation of the planetary triangle is rare, but not as infrequent as the closer grand conjunction seen last week, according to the Weather Channel.

Shortly after sunset on Jan. 9, look above the southwestern horizon to see Mercury to the left of Saturn and Jupiter positioned just above Saturn. The window to see the conjunction will be short.

“From Friday evening to Monday evening, the planet Mercury will appear to pass first by Saturn and then by Jupiter as it shifts away from the horizon, visible each evening low in the west-southwest and setting before evening twilight ends,” NASA wrote on its website.

The southwestern sky is where the sun sets this time of year, so following the path of the sunset will point you in the right direction. The reflected light from the planets should make them appear brighter than surrounding stars.

According to Space.com, all three planets will fit within the field of view of binoculars. “Mercury and Saturn will be a challenge to see within the evening twilight – except for skywatchers at southerly latitudes, where the sky will darken faster.”

Viewers should find an unobstructed view of the horizon and begin stargazing no later than 45 minutes after sundown.

The planets will form a triple conjunction again on Feb. 13, according to NASA.

New Year's Resolutions Can Be Satanic Check-Ins

On their face, New Year's resolutions are sad excuses for lazy individuals to pretend like they're going to get off their asses.

They use new year's resolutions to temporarily put their lives in focus and make hollow attempts to improve oneself.

Satanists are actively doing this year round, so we don’t require a hollow gesture like this. However we can use it as a self check in.

Take the opportunity to reflect on the goals you set out for yourself the previous year, and examine the progress you have made toward them. 

Take the opportunity to celebrate your successes.

Reevaluate the choices you made toward the goals, and if need be, readjust your direction, focus, or change the goals entirely to fit the pragmatic actions in your life.

Let's be honest, we change as individuals and a goal one year may not even be on our radar the next. Or alternatively, it may no longer be relevant.

There is nothing wrong with the setting of a goal, then abandoning it for other pursuits. Stubbornly forecasting on something that no longer interests you simply because you made it a goal in the past is counter productive at best.

Welcome your evolution in thinking. Debate the pros and cons with yourself over your life choices, it’s the only way you can be as focused as possible in your actions.

Execution of only woman on US federal death row can go ahead, court rules

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/02/execution-of-only-woman-on-us-federal-death-row-can-go-ahead-court-rules

A US appeals court has cleared the way for the only woman on federal death row to be executed before president-elect Joe Biden takes office.

The ruling, handed down on Friday by a three-judge panel on the US court of appeals for the District of Columbia circuit, concluded that a lower court judge erred when he vacated Lisa Montgomery’s execution date in an order last week.

US district court judge Randolph Moss had ruled the justice department unlawfully rescheduled Montgomery’s execution and he vacated an order from the director of the bureau of prisons scheduling her death for 12 January.

Montgomery had been scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection at the federal correctional complex in Terre Haute, Indiana, in December, but Moss delayed the execution after her attorneys contracted coronavirus visiting their client and asked him to extend the time to file a clemency petition.

Moss concluded that under his order the bureau of prisons could not even reschedule Montgomery’s execution until at least 1 January. But the appeals panel disagreed.

Meaghan VerGow, an attorney for Montgomery, said her legal team would ask for the full appeals court to review the case and said Montgomery should not be executed on 12 January.

Montgomery was convicted of killing 23-year-old Bobbie Jo Stinnett in the north-west Missouri town of Skidmore in December 2004.

She used a rope to strangle Stinnett, who was eight months pregnant, and then cut the baby girl from the womb with a kitchen knife, authorities said. Montgomery took the child with her and attempted to pass the girl off as her own, prosecutors said.

Montgomery’s legal team have argued that she has serious mental illnesses. One of her lawyers, Sandra Babcock, said in an earlier statement: “Given the severity of Mrs Montgomery’s mental illness, the sexual and physical torture she endured throughout her life, and the connection between her trauma and the facts of her crime, we appeal to President Trump to grant her mercy and commute her sentence to life imprisonment.”

Biden opposes the death penalty and his spokesman, TJ Ducklo, has said he would work to end its use. But Biden has not said whether he will halt federal executions after he takes office 20 January.

Infant smothered to death by dog on New Year’s Eve

https://myfox8.com/news/infant-smothered-to-death-by-dog-on-new-years-eve/

A Dayton baby was found dead in a home on New Year’s Eve. 

Authorities say four-month-old Raelynn Harrison of Dayton died Thursday. A dog was found lying on top of her. 

Montgomery County regional dispatch says a man called 911 around 7 p.m. on Thursday. 

He said he woke to find the dog on the baby, which was not breathing. 

The girl was taken to Dayton Children’s Hospital where she was pronounced dead. 

Police are still investigating the incident. 

The breed of dog involved in the incident remains unclear, though neighbor Lonnie Dapier described it as “big” and said the animal had gotten out of the family’s house before.

“God bless that child and I just hope they get that dog taken care of one way or the other so it won't injure anyone else," Dapier told WRGT.

A GoFundMe page arranged to raise money for Raelynn’s funeral called the death an “unexpected tragedy.”

“We lost our beautiful four month niece,” the page read. “Please help in any way you possibly can so that we can lay this beautiful girl to rest.”

Chaos at the Heart of the Orion Nebula

https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/chaos-at-the-heart-of-the-orion-nebula

Gaseous swirls of hydrogen, sulfur, and hydrocarbons cradle a collection of infant stars in this composite image of the Orion Nebula, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space telescope. Together, the two telescopes expose carbon-rich molecules in the cosmic cloud of this star-formation factory located 1,500 light-years away.

Hubble's ultraviolet and visible-light view reveal hydrogen and sulfur gas that have been heated and ionized by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive stars, collectively known as the "Trapezium." Meanwhile, Spitzer's infrared view exposes carbon-rich molecules in the cloud. Together, the telescopes expose the stars in Orion as a rainbow of dots sprinkled throughout the image.
