Friday Bread This Week<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pain Normand \u2013<\/strong> A bread that brings in the flavor of french Normandy region which is known for its apples. Made with some fresh milled whole wheat and rye flours as well as bread flour then mixed with apple cider as well as dried apples, for a delicious artisan bread! \u2013 $5\/loaf<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Le Pave d\u2019Autrefois \u2013<\/strong> Translates roughly as old paving stones. This is a ciabatta like bread which has a lot of hydration so it isn\u2019t really shaped so much as simply divided into approximate squares \u2013 hence the paving stones name. Made with a mix of bread flour as well as fresh milled whole wheat, rye and buckwheat flours for a lot of hearty whole grain goodness. A great artisan bread -$5\/loaf<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Pain aux Raisin<\/strong> – Made with the same laminated dough as croissants. The dough is rolled out, spread with pastry cream and sprinkled with a mix of golden raisins and dried cranberries that have been soaked in sugar syrup. Rolled up and sliced before baking. These are my favorites! As always, quantities are limited, be sure to get your order in early!\u00a0 -$5\/loaf<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Island Bakery has developed a rotation cycle of several dozen breads and pastries. Each Sunday the Bakery emails the week\u2019s bread offering to the mailing list.

Economics of the Heart: “He’s one cloudless night away from baying at the moon.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 sumie sketch by Rich<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

On Tuesday the Tweetser had a lengthy<\/span> TV interview with John Micklethwait,<\/span><\/a> editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News. Despite a fair amount of coaching from the interviewer, the T was lost in a continual rant not particularly related the questions asked. He was in his own world, visibly continuing to deteriorate before our eyes just three weeks before the Election which could decide the future of the entire world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heather Cox Richardson also weighed in on the subject, quoting Journalist David Rothkopf of Deep State Radio, who wrote: \u201cThe past 24 hours seem to have been a dividing line in the Trump campaign…and in Trump. He went from being periodically adrift and sporadically demented to being 24\/7 unfit and in need of permanent medical attention. He’s one cloudless night away from baying at the Moon.\u201d\u00a0<\/u> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And this is on top of the previous night’s “rally,” where the T, accompanied by S. Dakota’s dog-shooting Governor Kristi Noem, was for once not interested in wallowing in his long suffering, self-perceived Victimhood at the hands of the Leftist press. Instead he appeared in all respects to have had a few tokes of some “mellowing agents” that kept him spinning records like a dance party DJ from the fifties. Kristy kept trying to put the train back on the track, but the T was in full 10-year-old mode, oblivious to reality. In the last six months he has been on an increasingly steep dive into cognitive chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n

The increasingly obvious takeaway is that he is beyond even having an ordinary conversation, take in facts, or make competent decisions. Even if somehow the election is successfully stolen and <\/span>these clowns actually win, Vance, his real mentor Kevin Roberts<\/a><\/span> (Pres. of Heritage Foundation and force behind Project 2025), and a handful of billionaires will make us sitting ducks for our ruthless adversaries in Russia, China, and around the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It turns out that not all Republicans are on board with this plan. We have seen many of the old-fashioned hawks and neocons declare their commitment to vote for Harris to save our Constitution and the Rule of Law. A common threat is recognized by both Democrats and many former Republican House and Senate members who share a collective goal for the continuance of responsible American Leadership in a healthy, peaceful, safe World. There will be plenty of time to argue about the details if we can join forces to keep our careening ship of state afloat and back on course.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, this is a scary time. The election is less than three weeks away, and large numbers of ordinary people have been brainwashed by relentless lies from Fox News and its many surrogates, relentless Russian disinformation<\/span><\/a> on social media. These campaigns have been relentless and voluminous for some eight years now, to the extent that millions of Americans who get all their news from these sources really believe<\/em> a long list of ridiculous sound bytes about untended\/open borders (they have obviously never met a real Border Patrol agent!),<\/em> and on and on and on.<\/p>\n

Below are links to several conversations with some of these people about their beliefs. In many cases, when the interviewers gently ask about various details of their beliefs, the people are unable to explain any facts to support their views. On the contrary, their beliefs are ultimately tautological<\/a>.<\/em><\/span> That is, they cannot relate these beliefs to any particular illustrative incidence. For example, no one has actually seen <\/em>a Haitian immigrant in Ohio eat anyone’s pet, or seen <\/em>thousands of immigrants crossing the border freely, (the list goes on and on) <\/em>yet they believe countless baseless assertions simply because they have heard them so many times.<\/p>\n

These responses are exactly the purpose of the disinformation spewed by the Tweetster, Fox News personalities, Republicans in Congress, AM radio, and the rest. It is bad enough to imagine that our 250-year old country would suddenly blink out of existence for any reason, but to die for a LIE…? REALLY…? Yet this is how Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, and other right-wing dictators have done it, along with ruthless armies of probably well-intentioned ordinary people who had been systematically lied to for so long they actually they stopped seeing what was actually happening right in front of them.<\/p>\n

Below are links to some videos of interviews with Maga Believers. They are in general ordinary people who seem to believe what they are saying because they have heard it asserted so forcefully so many times. They have not seen, read, or heard any actual documentation of any instance of the things they believe. And when they try to explain it, they wind up in tautological trap. They believe the unbelievable because they have been trained by repetition to believe it, and have become unwitting “domestic enemies” who can destroy the future of an entire planet with their ignorance.<\/p>\n
