Unprecedent evil will require an unprecedented rescue, and unprecedented consequences on those who want to destroy it all. I can get through anything that's not permanent. My mother taught me to say, "I am looking forward to looking back on this." Granted, she was talking about the accounting course I had to take in summer school, but the principle is the same.
I love that…”I am looking forward to looking back on this.” I agree. Although I would rather stomp it into the ground and grind my boot heel in it’s face. Cowboy boots, not the nazi kind. Weird times we are living in. I miss my dad, but then again, I am glad he is not here to see this. He was always against government and we always thought he was nuts. Turns out he was right on so many levels. Mom is still here, she is 97 and doing well. She is a warrior.
Like Hubs always says and it infuriates me to no end “well, there have always been bad times and everyone always thought they were living in the last days, but there is just more outlets for the bad news today, so it is nothing new.” I stick my tongue out at him after I tell him he is a dummy.
To some extent he is probably right. My mom is an irrational D but we have had some lucid discussions. She is 86 on Friday, and says growing up, there was just a lot of that was not talked about, pushed under the rug. There was no language around PTSD for returning war veterans. Suicide was NOT talked about. Says her family totally ostracized her uncle's widow and kids after he committed suicide in the 40's. Pretended it never happened. Pedos and incest may have been whispered about but never made headlines. My hometown KC was literally run by the Pendergast machine in the 1920's and 30's and the mob held sway beneath the surface up until the 80's. Bad stuff always there, but we do know more about it now, although I still would argue that we are still reaching an inflection point where we could lose our country if things continue.
BUT having said all that I have been out knocking doors for my friend who is running to unseat a 20-year machine D in congress (Cleaver, 5th Dist MO) since late May and the conversations at the doors ARE very encouraging. More people are coming to see the light than it appears. Oh they are not fully awake, but the sense that things are headed the wrong way is very palpable. It's fresh air, face to face conversation and exercise that is keeping me sane and at least a little hopeful that we are not too far gone.
Here is to The Truth. You are a rock star in MO, they are lucky to have you. Love to have ‘boots on the ground’ reports. Especially ones that show the tide is turning.
Over 1500 doors at this point. I tell every one of his 'doubters' (Cleaver has beat every R by 6-12 points every election) that unless they are willing to go out and spend an afternoon knocking on doors and talking to real people (not social media trolls) they can just STFU. Of course I say it more nicely, but I am getting tired of the armchair quarterbacks who bitch and don't DO anything about it.
I DO think the tide is turning. Whether it is enough remains to be seen. And we are focused mainly on lower middle class purple areas of the district. So just one segment of the larger population. But these are the folks who have been hurt most in the last 3.5 years. Huge property tax increases in the county have added to the misery and Sean (who is running against Cleaver) has been at the forefront of helping people appeal assessments, holds one-two forums a week for over a year now. Cleaver, when asked, just says, oh that's a county issue, not mine. Hubby has been delivering yard signs & banners and some of them are to D's who said they have had enough.
STFU! One of my favorites! As to the rise (I wrote ruse) in property taxes, I have seen increases in Washington state, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire, nearly a two-fold increase. I think the controllers are getting ready to pull the plug on us in the USSA. Bleed us dry first though.
Yes, you work hard, pay off your mortgage, and think you own your home. Wrong. Try not paying property tax for 3 years. They will sell your house on the courthouse steps. That realization alone has woken a lot of people up. And the higher home value = higher insurance premiums. I tell people who are renting that the taxes and insurance are why their rent keeps going up. Small landlords are getting squeezed as they can only raise it so much before they lose tenants. In come the big companies ready to buy them out.
It's coming to a head, me thinks. And yes, Love/God/Source/Life/Light wins in the end. The more we can align with life as sacred and a Divine gift - the better. So much good we can't see happening too. They always go together. :-)
Yes, always the light, but the darkness is out there dancing on our screens with green hair and its genitals hanging out. COME ON. We are designed to be so much more than that. People are deep, multifaceted and beautifully made, capable of building beautiful cities (not in America and not within the last 200 years though) and creating music for the ages (not in the last 150 years though). With all the ‘advances’ in the last 150 years (motors, flight, tech, automation) something has been subtracted inside mankind and made the collective give away pieces of that Renaissance soul which makes us so unique, gifted and just downright marvelous. I don’t think people now are actually capable of inner expansion without help from God. Life is hard and ugly when you have an IQ that is the same as your shoe size.
You have a point. But, we know better and know that there is more than hard and ugly out there. We know there is intrinsic value in the beauty of overcoming struggles and coming out on the other side victorious. Those who are nihilists? Not so much. And there is a whole Orc-dom full of those…”May the odds be ever in your favor!”
Yes, I kind of liken D's to my cats. On the surface, they are fluffy and cute. But if they are cornered and freaked out, there will be blood. I only spend cursory time on social media these days, I am too busy focusing on productive things to help my candidates win, but from what I see the tone is increasingly unhinged and irrational. I watched the Tucker interview with Mark Halperin last night. Not really familiar with Halperin but his closing remarks, 'a Trump victory will create the biggest mental health crisis this country has ever seen' (paraphrasing). I was thinking, that is already the case! Thanks media!
I have cut the most unhinged ones out of my personal life. I don't need that kind of negativity. But know they are out there, I just don't have a good estimate of crowd size.
It is still unbelievable that some folks don't see the evil in our everyday life. I wonder how bad it needs to get before the sheeple wake? I guess Dan Bongino is right, "it's just not bad enough yet"!
The world will move out of the way of a fierce, angry, warrior woman. World, stand-aside! Go-girl-go. Anger is a good motivating factor. Keep on keeping on.
It is all so evil and horrible! I too am sick of these creatures that will not give up! They will burn the US down before they will give up!
Me toooo. Just beyond evil. Thank God He is bigger than all that.

Is it me or is the bad news multiplying?! And yet I still have faith that God wins in the end. Praying for rain!

Life us hard and ugly no matter your IQ. It's actually worse the smarter you are because us smart people see through the bullshit.

Very poetic.
I laughed at least 3 times reading that. Good to be humorous in the face of so much ugly.
Agree, agree, agree!
It's not you. The cabal is turning the thumbscrews and yes, bad news is multiplying. Maybe 'They' are running scared. Who knows?

Donna in MO (the show-me state) Unhinged is spot-on, and might be an understatement. I live in the live-free-or-die state.

I hope we are strong enough to take ‘bad enough’ standing up!!
Great article Sadie!
Warriors….mount up…
Can't afford fear either. I don't have that but I sure am angry.
Anger is a healthy response when someone (the controllers) is trying to poison, starve, and ki ll you (or extort your wealth at gunpoint).
Makes me fierce!
The world will move out of the way of a fierce, angry, warrior woman. World, stand-aside! Go-girl-go. Anger is a good motivating factor. Keep on keeping on.
Same to you Tony, same to you. Strength and peace to you and yours. Thanks for being here.♥
So appreciate your passionate and faithful voice, SJ. We'll get through it. Thank you for being you.❤️
Thanks for the support K...I appreciate you and your words. ♥
