It's been a while since I've read the Bible, but this morning I heard a journalist refer to this quotation:
And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe in me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Matthew 18:6
That sounds appropriately prophetic!
Baba,
When I read your post, I got goosebumps. This won't end well for the perpetrators. I pray that it happens soon.
The concentration camps were a hot topic on the Sunday news interview shows. I don't watch them but I have seem written transcripts. The administrations line is "it's the Dems fault because they won't do what we tell them to do" or it's the parents fault for bringing these children here. How pathedic can you be to blamethe parents for trying to keep their children safe from the death squads in the 3rd world countries. Pence was on one of the shows and it did not go well for him. He evadently himmed and hawwed trying to repeat the party line.
Unfortunetly people still think the Rep party is the same party as the 1950's. It's not. They are now facist of the worse order. There was an article I wish I could have saved and referenced here. It is about rural Tennessee and the medical problem there. The state has cut it's Medicaid benefits to the bone forcing hospitals and clinics to close. These people have to travel to one clinic and wait for hours to get a ticket to see a Doc. The medical staff and equipment is all volunteers and they do the best they can. It is really sad, these prople have nothing, but they still either don't vote or vote Republican becauses they always have. The mango moron and his admin is all smoke and mirrors. They have no health plan except to do away with ACA because it had Obama's name on it.
@Wisteriacats, I am also a senior (almost 67), so I know what you mean when you say "I've seen a lot of weird things in this world." I encourage you to continue posting when you feel the need. We often are in sync with what we see, etc., but sometimes we aren't. We're all individuals and have different life experiences -- to me, that's the beauty of it. I believe that we're here to learn from and support each other.
I have had a very intricately interesting life, and I know how frustrating it is to have someone who is "evil" (in my terms) and they manage to still get ahead.
My opinions are only that - opinions. Time will reveal what happens. I understand sociopathy very well. I am also a therapist. Oddly, I noticed his psychopathy immediately. I told my observations to others who found him attractive as a president. But they didn't believe me. As a therapist, it was pretty obvious what his disorder was. The kind of pathology that he has is not curable. :(
I feel the same frustrations that others feel. I'm just looking at other things to try to make sense of it, and, sadly, he is very fortunate.
I guess the "good news" is that if he is re-elected, then that's the end of his 8 years.
Let's just put prayers out there that this will resolve in a positive way.
What I find fascinating and disturbing is that there are those of us who could immediately see who and what we were dealing with, and those who, as Wisteriacats stated, "found him attractive as a president." I'm good at reading people, although I have been fooled occasionally. But his sociopathy is so obvious, that it's mind boggling he achieved this position of power. I think that someone on this site once spoke of people being in a trance. I agree -- it's been a numbing trance. And for those of us who aren't under the spell, we try to make sense of it. But it's nonsensical, and a waste of my time to try to figure out. Instead, I will do what Cindy suggested:
While we are tired of what we see and hear, we can still work to make changes. Call your representatives-Dem or Republican. Call those Dems like Pelosi and those on oversight committees urging them to start hearings. Pray. Meditate.
Most of all, let your light shine thru. Darkness has no power to vanquish light. However light will always pierce the darkness.
Thank you, deetoo. I appreciate that. Yes, we are indeed all individuals - which is what makes this world so interesting! :) Thanks so much!
And I just saw your most recent post. I have already emailed numerous times to my representatives. Yes, it was immediately apparent that he had a mental disorder/personality disorder. And, like you said, his sociopathy IS evident - immediately. But many people don't either have that insight or knowledge or just are with him...frankly, I don't understand how people could not have noticed his disorder/personality, but I guess they didn't. So, I am buckling up for another 4 years, just in case. :/
Next Tuesday on July 2nd, 8 pm eastern time, meet with me online for the strongest healing meditation ever. We are going all out with our powerful group psychic energy to heal this nation on its birthday.
July 2 is the day the Continental Congress declared our independence from England and became a new born nation.
We pivot energetically on our birthdays, so let's send a blast of energy to pivot our nation. I will post the zoom link by tonight for anyone who wants to join us. I am excited about this.
Perhaps we can keep these events going on the second of each month, we shall see.
This time of year is special for our country. Growing up I had no clue that I had relatives who were involved in the change from living in a colony to living in a new country. It wasn't until about 15 years ago that my mother found that my 5-6th great grandfathers went to Christ Church in Philadelphia with Ben Franklin, George Washington, Betsy Ross and signers of the Declaration of Independence. This document, found at the National Archives shows my 5th great grandfather John Harrison asking to leave the local militia to defend the ports of PA as the captain of a ship in what he knew would be turbulent times back in 1776. John's father George is buried within 100 feet of Ben Franklin according to Christ Church, but the records have been lost as to exactly which grave is his, and the stones are too worn to read any longer. We owe it to our country and our descendants to keep things on track, even if we can't march off and bear arms. We can march in protest, make calls, write letters, and keep the faith.
During later research mom also found that we had ancestors fighting for the Union during the Civil War. Three brothers at Gettysburg all at once. One died, one was severely wounded and the third (my direct ancestor) had to remove his two brothers from the battlefield. This finally explained why I had such a bad reaction while touring the fields (the Devil's Den specifically) on a school field trip back in 7th grade. It took three friends to get me to the ladies room to wash my face and keep from passing out. Go figure! LOL
It amazes me to this day that no one passed down this family history over the years, and it was only discovered long after the fact. It's also a reminder that even if no one remembers it, the things we do, both large and small, make a difference.
