    I have been a Democrat my entire life. I live in Los Angeles. I was an actress for years. I voted for Obama, then Clinton. I couldn’t wait to vote against the ban on gay marriage. I supported Planned Parenthood. I called JK Rowling “TERF.” I read books like THE NEW JIM CROW in an attempt to “educate” myself. I was a Democrat through-and-through, and more than that—I was even onboard with wokeism, with equity (as opposed to equality), with intersectional feminism, etc. These people had me pretty much hook, line, and sinker.

    Then in Summer 2020 I was encouraged to go out and engage in “firey but mostly peaceful protests” but was told it was still unsafe for me to go to work. That didn’t make sense. Nothing around me made any sense whatsoever. And I really needed to go back to work. Whenever I brought this up, I was told I was being selfish or even “racist.” Indeed, whenever I saw talk—whether online or on corporate news—of those who took issue with lockdowns, it was always framed as an issue of selfishness, even of racism. For some reason, liberal folks had this idea that anyone remotely concerned over lockdowns was a wealthy white woman who was just bored and wanted to get her hair and nails done. I felt like screaming at everyone, “who do you think does hair and nails?” Hairdressers and nail artists, whose jobs are ESSENTIAL TO THEM. Everyone is an “essential worker” to himself and the people who may depend upon him.

    What bothered me the most wasn’t that these people disagreed with me, or that they had different ideas on how best to handle covid or BLM unrest—what bothered me the most was that they absolutely refused to recognize I might have any honest reasons for disagreeing with them. And I had honest reasons for disagreeing with them. I and MANY others were being harmed by the tyrannical, overreaching, nonsensical response to covid—especially in blue cities and states. That felt like a punch to the gut, from the people I’d supported and aligned with all my life.

    So I walked away from the Democrat party. They’ve proven me correct every damn day since then. #walkaway

  5. Oh, by the way ...

    The QFS (Quantum Financial System) was created years ago. Our money in the banks has been mirrored onto it for years now. Everything we knew about banking will be different and corruption free. No more banks. No more illegal loans and mortgages. No more credit cards. No more income tax, payroll tax, property tax. All of that was ILLEGAL and went against the Constitution. 

    Our country was highjacked in 1871. AMERICA became a corporation and then they made US corporations. All of this will be explained on how they did it. It’s what we were born into. We didn’t know. NOW WE DO. This is the very thing TRUMP and the military are freeing us of, hence the 24/7 attacks. He bankrupted the deep state. Do you understand that??? HE DEFEATED THE DEEP STATE. They owned us. They stole from us. They enslaved us. They killed and disabled us. They wanted total control of the WORLD. That’s what all of this is about. Not political parties. Not Dems v Republicans. Not who’s a better party. It’s about corrupt entities that ran the world for centuries. The people you don’t even know their names. The puppet masters that you were told was a “Conspiracy Theory” any time anyone would speak up. So the ignorant people that are supporting this shit show administration are brain dead, brain washed and cannot see anything from a higher prospective. They are lazy tv watchers that sit back and go with what their tv says. No research. No looking around for deeper meaning. Support the newest social engineering agenda that was created by the deep state. Those people will be the ones that won’t make it. Small minded individuals, hateful and angry. They will be left behind. God isn’t allowing evil to move forward. 

    With that said. If you’re still supporting this administration, know that every single one of them will be removed along with some rhinos. There will be only a few people standing in Congress. Trump and his military are in charge and we are taking our country back. God is ridding the world of the evil ones. That includes ALL industries as well. 

    You must choose a side. You’re either on the side of God, Trump our military and the people that love America or you’re the enemy. There is no in between. 

    CHOOSE WISELY. The enemy does not win. It’s already done. @JulieSnark

  7. One Thing, Jesus Christ - Article #4 - Fourth Series - May 8th, 2023 by Fr. Ben Daghir

    Editor's Note: Fr. Ben Daghir wrote this historical fiction story while studying at the Institute for Priestly Formation at Creighton University in the summer of 2018. The story focuses on the last moments in the life of Saint Peter while in Rome. 

    Article:
    Peter’s eye sight is weakened as he’s crucified upside-down below the hot, Roman sun. The heat beats on his face and the sunlight glows on his blood.

    He desires to only be in the shadow of the Lord. This has always been his mission since he left Jerusalem – the shadow reminds him that he’s near Jesus. Shadows and darkness used to scare him, but now they only remind him of his love for the Crucified One.

    He can barely breathe, but his strength as a fisherman has returned from within his old bones. He’s found the balance on this Roman cross – his years on a boat have helped him. He catches the grace and realizes even more that God has been forming him since his youth. 

    Peter begins to forget about the nails through his hands and feet, the excruciating pain, and even himself. As the blood flows from his heart, it’s replaced by Christ’s words which enter back into the organ which has spread the truth across an entire continent. 

    He hears a voice that he’s familiar with and forgets about the world around him, “Do you love me?...Someone else will dress you…Come after me…Do not be afraid…Feed my sheep!”

    Peter immediately gets spiritually attacked and begins to think about denying Jesus three times. Peter is much more aware of this internal threat than he is of the Roman guards that are mocking him. They hate Peter because they’ve never met a criminal so calm before a cross. 

    Peter decides to quench his fists and lifts his body up while refusing to fall into the dark thoughts. He silently prays, “Lord, help me give it a shepherd’s care.” The Roman guards then hear Peter shout “Yes!” three separate times. Quicker than the blood flowing down his chest do the memories of denying Jesus leave his heart and mind. 

    The Roman soldiers are amazed with this man and hate his joy. These murderers are the most trained soldiers in the world, yet they don’t realize that Peter is enduring a much different war. Peter prays for them under his breath and he can relate to their weaknesses. In them, he sees a much younger, weaker Peter. 

    His brother, Andrew, comes to mind. Peter enjoys the memories of his brother – especially the day he first met Jesus. He prays for his brother and thanks God for the memories coming back to him. Peter snaps out of his thoughts once a Roman guard kicks him in the mouth. He chokes on his blood. No longer pondering his thoughts, he looks up at his bloody body. The blood only fuels his prayer. Again, Peter hears powerful words from Christ. 

    “Take this all of you and drink from it.” 

    “You will never wash my feet” and the memory makes him smirk with a grin. The Roman guard sees his smile and draws his hand on his sword. 

    “I’ve given you a model – as you should also do” and the flashbacks keep coming back to Peter. The Roman guards hear, “Yes, Lord!”

    He is kicked in the face another time. Blood splashes onto the soil. Peter looks around – he sees Roman legs walking around him. He loses hope and begins to fear. He responds with a whisper to the Lord and says, “God, help me to stay sober and alert. Evil is prowling around me. Let me be solid in faith.” 

    Then, suddenly, a drop of blood falls from his feet and into his eyes. He looks up toward Heaven. 

    Peter’s mind takes him to the Sermon on the Mount and he hears, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Just then, the Roman sun moves west behind the foot of the cross. The temperature cools.  He regains his strength. A shadow is now cast over Peter. He desires the shadow of the cross. Only once before has he felt so much joy in his life – in the presence of the Risen Christ. 

    “I’m supposed to be here, Lord” Peter says toward Heaven.

    Peter begins to cry for the first time today. 

    The Roman guards laugh – they believe that they have finally broken the Christian leader’s spirit. One Roman, out of pride, runs over and kicks the Galilean in the head as hard as he can. Peter shakes the blow and never looks down toward earth again. He focuses solely on the foot of the cross. The Roman guard looks back toward the criminal. 

    Peter then whispers, “You told me that I’m the rock, you called me, you love me. Jesus, I love you.” Peter is spiritually attacked another time and his mind races back to the Agony in the Garden. Peter hears a voice that he has learned to ignore but it still enters his mind, “You’ve failed him so many times Peter. You’ve always been a failure. You will fail again today.”

    Peter breathes slowly and responds, “Lord, not what I will, but what you will.”

    Near Peter’s feet comes a sound that says, “Follow me.” He tastes his own blood and can only see through one eye. He responds, “Yes, Lord – you know that I love you.”

    The sun continues its course west and the shadow disappears. 

    The hot, Roman sun beats down on the corpse of a Saint. The upside-down corpse has just flipped the authority of Rome on its own head.

    Heaven rejoices. Christians are praying in Rome for Peter. The Roman guards are proud of their work in accomplishing the task of ending the Christian leader’s movement. And last, and certainly least, the devil slithers away in frustration saying to himself “Virgin woman, carpenter, and now a fisherman!” 

    The soil of Rome has never soaked in someone’s blood so quickly – as if it has experienced a masculine drought for centuries. The soil has yearned for a Gladiator of God.

  8. Lemon and Water has so many healing medicinal properties for all the cells, tissues, glands and organs in the body.  Lemons contain phytonutrients, which protect your body against disease. These phytonutrients have powerful antioxidant properties, which prevent cell damage from oxidation, the same mechanism that causes rust. Juice half a lemon into your water and you'll add a mere 6 calories to your diet.
