PSALMS 16:1-2, 5, 7-11
1Preserve me, O God, for in thee I take refuge. 2I say to the LORD, “Thou art my Lord; I have no good apart from thee.” 5The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot. 7I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. 8I keep the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9Therefore my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices; my body also dwells secure. 10For thou dost not give me up to Sheol, or let thy godly one see the Pit. 11Thou dost show me the path of life; in thy presence there is fulness of joy, in thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
JOHN 17:20-26
20“I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which thou hast given me in thy love for me before the foundation of the world. 25O righteous Father, the world has not known thee, but I have known thee; and these know that thou hast sent me. 26I made known to them thy name, and I will make it known, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.”
_____________________________________________________
This was yesterday’s Woke Outrage of the Day—a Calvin Klein ad originally published over one year ago on May 8th 2022.
Even Fox News covered it yesterday:
Past Calvin Klein ad of trans man wearing a bra goes viral as Twitter wonders if company is the next Bud Light
Yeah, it’s gross. I get the outrage.
However, I do not believe everyday conservatives organically decided amongst themselves on May 24th, 2023 to discuss an advertisement published on May 8th, 2022. Whoever controls the algorithms and payroll of Big Con influencers is picking and choosing old, forgotten examples of woke nonsense from months/years ago and intentionally stirring up conservative social media with it. I called this out during that Miller Lite nonsense—we are being manipulated by some powerful unknown entity to talk about forgotten advertisements from months or even years ago. They are directing the conversation. If they didn’t want a Bud Light or Target situation, then they would shut it down, censored, and slid it like previous conservative boycotts instead of spamming it relentlessly across both corporate media and social media.
The question is: Why? Why now? Why are the algorithms and Big Con paid influencers herding us toward
Woke OutrageForgotten Advertisement of the Day?IMO, it’s one or more of the following:
1) Intelligence agency science experiment to measure reactions in terms of social media response and tangible sales data to see how far they can push the woke crap.
2) General discussion sliding. They are directing public outrage and tangible action toward tucking bathing suits and beer advertisements while they slip by news of severe government corruption like the Durham Report and Kari Lake’s recent court loss.
3) Possibly timed with RonDS’s campaign launch: “Look at all this awful woke crap. Anti-woke Ron will fix it!”
4) False flag narrative engineering.
I’ve had this meme sitting on my hard drive since May 15, 2022. Again, why now? Why are the algorithms, the Big Con influencers, and Fox News herding us to talk about it now? Where were they last year?

Dr. Loupis’ Twitter:
https: //twitter.com/DrLoupis
This appears to be a subject she is passionate about.
Sorry, what? I just got lost in Mark Wahlberg’s abs.
But seriously, everything is narrative engineering. I just don’t pay attention to any one thing anymore. I read everything I can get my eyes on, and just wait to see what actually happens.
Someone could get lost in that woman’s flabs…. (send a search party)…..
LOL! Yuck!
AYE-YI-YI!!!
Why would you not be gazing at Kate Moss’ derriere?
You’ve been in Germany [land of stout women] too long.
Germany is most definitely NOT the land of stout women… that’s an ancient myth.
We do have a few stumpy fat fireplugs, but they’re mostly in the government and the green party (gotta wonder how vegans can get so fat, the it comes out that they don’t practice what they preach for the rest of us…
Short and stout, Sauerkraut died a looong time ago…
That dude actually needs the man bra tho. Man bras have been a thing in reality. Gynecomastia and even the rarest of rare male breast cancer. People are interested in which companies are involved and looking for things they overlooked before, in as much as posting for likes im sure.
Another possibility:
5) People who are sick of the trans campaigns are dredging up every bit of evidence they can find to keep the issue alive and remind people which companies have been pushing the agenda.
I don’t see a problem with outrage on this topic. It is not distracting anyone from any other important issue, and whatever emotion is generated only helps us in this fight. Emotion fuels the motivation to enact change.
Example:
Matt Walsh, who considers this a campaign:
I can multi-task on these assholes.
They fight – we fight back.
There is some really disgusting stuff going on. The NC legislature passed a bill for student vouchers so they can go to any school they want. Voter Fraud elected Gov Cooper is DECLARING AN EMERGENCY TO STOP OVERRIDE OF HIS VETO.
This part of the Badlands brief is worth the few minutes to watch. COOPER IS A SEX TRAFFICKER who is using schools to pimp out kids.!!!
Watch to the SEX AP they TEACH kids to use! (Just have a barf bag ready)
https://rumble.com/v2pnl0u-badlands-daily-52423-wed-1000-am-et-.html
1:15:00 Roy Cooper declares state of emergency to oppose school choice bill.
Rhetorical.
What would the emergency be? Parents choice for children’s education.
Oh, the horrors of parents deciding for THEIR children.
If you go to the rumble video to the time I mention you can HEAR the SOB tell you what the ’emergency’ is. It is a very short clip.
Actually, I did go to the Rumble video.
Heard Cooper’s words. Non emergency in my mind. Did hear cooper is totally full of shit.
I’ll stop wondering on this one.
He was the Attorney General before he cheated his way into the Governor’s mansion. Probably a Soros puppet.
I hope you watched thru the rest of the info. The book the 7th graders were given on how to pleasure a homo pedo and then how to use the Sex app to connect with a real life pedo.
Good GRIEF!!!
Yes please watch. It is not long.
Yea, I did get about that far.
Cut it off when Jon, said enough, we get it.
The other dude persisted. Understand why.
But I had, had enough….
I don’t think it’s any of the options offered. I get the idea that this is planned red-pilling. It’s building outrage, or part of it. Once eyes are opened, they won’t shut, and action will be taken.
People are looking for what they can do as part of a cause. Boycott is one option. And defeating the trans nonsense needs to happen at the cultural level.
This is part of the Great Awakening show.
I agree with you, at least somewhat. I think the woke companies are doing dumb stuff, and the red-pill crew is taking full advantage of it to build outrage and disgust. Bud Light was a big one, in my opinion. It was a bridge too far for many, many people, and now those people see that we have momentum. Momentum, as anyone who studies marketing, politics, sports, or pretty much any human activity, is the key to winning. A cause with momentum is very hard to stop.
The thing is, a lot of this has been out there for a while, and it is just now getting attention. Something behind the scenes is driving the microscope.
YES. EXACTLY THIS.
Who is driving it? What is their motive?
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not comfortable knowing that whatever powerful unknown entity is controlling the algorithms, influencers, and corporate media wants to manipulate me into being mad over year-old advertisements. I refuse to play their manipulative game.
I refuse to play their manipulative game.
IMO, *they* are WAY too much in people’s heads when it is being declared definitively, as fact, that a certain event was orchestrated and that we are being manipulated regarding what we pay attention to.
Does the media steer us in certain directions? Of course. Is a group or a couple of people sitting in a room saying, “Let’s use this one now; that will push their buttons”? Maybe, but I have no reason to believe that. It’s another theory without evidentiary backing.
It’s possible that Dr. Loupon brought it up again on her own to make sure people remember other companies that have gone “trans woke.” Entirely possible. It’s the kind of thing that I could see myself and other patriots doing.
Is there any benefit for *whoever is controlling the puppet strings* to have us look at the Calvin Klein ad again? I can’t think of even one benefit to them, because it certainly does not distract anyone from other important issues. All it does is fuel the fire against the trans agenda, possibly bring more people into a state of awareness, and serve a uniting purpose.
So what I wonder is why some people insist that some entity is manipulating us from behind the scenes.
four AM talking points???
Con INC the group that shoves who THEY want conservatives to vote for.
It comes down to this, for me: The idea that someone is pulling OUR strings from behind the scenes to make us focus on certain things, could cause us to question everything we talk about. It could invite self-censure, both because we think *they* want us talking about something and therefore we shouldn’t, and also self-censure because our fellow commenters have decided that certain topics have been dangled in front of us to keep us from talking about more important things (a notion that I reject, BTW).
It gives me great joy to see memes continuously presented that ridicule the FIB, Bud Light, Target, the Left, etc. Posting those memes can provide encouragement and camaraderie in some cases. To have to stop and second-guess that uh-oh, maybe we’re playing into *their* hands is a hard NO from me. I couldn’t care less if someone brought up an old ad. If it’s a valid topic, we can talk about it from a lot of different perspectives.
Four AM talking points ARE a real thing AND (Obviously) created to manipulate society.
^^^ Far to obvious.
A behind-the-scenes PDJT campaign strategies…..
I tend to agree with #3.
The people promoting Ron DeepState are promoting this crap too IMO
The night in shining armor has arrived. Watch how he attacks all of this crap, he’s already set it up with FL. Everything in the beginning of his….. oh wait their (DS) campaign will be all the wonderful things he did in FL.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING….
“Great American comeback” sounds like “Make America Great Again.” There is nothing DeSedative* can do to avoid being compared with Trump. And Trump has cornered the market on patriotism, America first, and restoring the country.
I did not think DeS would run, and I can’t see any upside in it for him politically.
*Thanks, Matt Gaetz. 😂
All that prime time advertising isn’t cheap.

Agreed!
Thank you, DePat, for a Thursday Thread worthy of a theater marquee.
Amen!
This was a very astute observation of a difference I missed at first.

Who’s not dead yet?
Dunno.
Windsock Ron’s WH run?
Is this the same guy?
I’m already tired of looking at that face.
Me too! And I don’t want to hear his voice either.
Unless Windsock Ron is doing something good for FL, I won’t listen to him.
He’s on life support already.
This was originally published on April 18:

WOW. That’s sad. LOL!
In order for this tweet to be evaluated…
…the person who posted it, “Proud Army Brat,” needs to provide the following:
1) Evidence of where, when, and on what occasion the pic on the right was taken.
2) Evidence of where, when, and on what occasion the pic on the left was taken. It probably was from the recent Japan trip, but that needs to be shown.
3) A pic of JB from the day the pic on the left was taken, showing the back of his head.
Here’s JB greeting soldiers at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni in Japan. Notice the bald spot on the back of his head.
https://nypost.com/2023/05/18/biden-meets-with-japans-kishida-ahead-of-g-7-summit-in-hiroshima/
Another pic from that same visit showing the bald spot.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/18/politics/gallery/president-joe-biden-japan/index.html
If “Proud Army Brat” is trying to prove a specific theory, it would help if she would directly state the theory, show what she considers to be proof with facts and evidence, and flesh it out. But I can’t think of one time when I’ve seen that done. It’s always vague suppositions wrapped in innuendo and speculation.
AMEN!!!
“You’re watching a movie.”
— Q
Therefore, it’s time for willing suspension of disbelief. The tweet then makes perfect sense. Sorta.
I’m not seeing it. First, I don’t know what the tweet is trying to say. And then, I have shown that JB DID “not have hair” on the Japan trip, contrary to what the tweet says. It only took a couple of minutes of searching to find that.
I really wish people would do their own research. But that would risk finding evidence that disproves whatever theory it is, so instead they just publish vague things and seem to enjoy thinking they are true. IMO it is akin to hiding one’s head in the sand, which is a sure way to stay uninformed and to fall for things that aren’t true. No army ever won by being oblivious to reality, nor by making a practice of spreading disinformation to its OWN side.
I don’t think Q meant to believe in fantasies, which is where I place some of the impossible theories that I’ve seen. It’s not true that anything is possible. Elephants are not going to fly unless they are placed on an airplane.
I should have used /s. Forgive me.
Not necessary! 😅 “Sorta perfect sense” should have given it away…
News is fake.
Stupid is real.
And seemingly infinite.
LMAO!!!
And the obligatory, “Hair today, gone tomorrow”…
Or just prior to that stage, “Pardon me while I comb my hairs”
Even if he has body doubles…so what?
We never thought he was actually in charge of the Brandon administration anyway.
Such a fact certainly wouldn’t indicate that the people in charge are on our side somehow (devolution BS) as opposed to being, say, someone like Obola.
Exactly.

I come from a long line of Scottish immigrants to America. They came to the Southern Appalachians with their clan tradition intact. Loyalty is everything to people like us. It is written in the blood. No surprise Trump is a Scot, too.
Johnny Walker, Jim Beam, Glen Fiddich 🙂 La Phroaig (OK, OK, OK)…
Same here, also settled around West-by-GOD before the USA was the USA. Probably got my skepticism from that side of the family… with my Dad, you didn’t cross him twice, as you didn’t get a second chance (or sometimes a third). The English/Irish/Welsh other side was pretty much the same. And they all could stretch a penny until it screamed for mercy if needed…
(Word has it that the the Schwäbisch people here in South Germany were Scots who were thrown out of Scotland for being too cheap 🙂 )…..
My Scots grandma was the thriftiest soul I ever met. I must admit to inheriting some of that tendency to squeeze a nickle until the eagle screamed. 🙂
Ha. The Schwäbisch are credited with having invented copper wire, for electricity, phones, LANS, etc.
It seems a Schwäbisch fellow had a penny, rolling it between his hands, over and over and over and over, agonizing over what to do with it…
Eventually he discovered that where the penny was, a wire had appeared 🙂
(and that’s why Bill and Dave put the first HP site over here in Böblingen, not München 🙂 [just kidding… apparently the story is that they were discussing with a Bavarian engineer about different areas, and brought up “Schwabenländle”… the engineer said, “nah, don’t put it there… all they want to do there is work”… and so it was…] )…
(The book “The HP Way” has that and a number of other anecdotes about HP, as well as a lot of pictures and infos about the rise of HP and the HP way… probably Carly should write “How I Killed The HP Way” for her “contribution” to the history of HP)…..
No, copper wire was invented by two scotsmen fighting tug of war over a penny.
Several Jewish friends have assured me that it was two Jews pulling on a penny in a tug-of-war.
Great story about wire, lol!
My Irish grandmother…one of her sisters in law claimed she could squeeze a nickel ’til the buffalo $#!+.
LOL!
Good saying! Lol!
What eagle?
There was once an eagle on the cent–for two years, right after they shrunk it to its current diameter. Prior to 1837 there were eagles on half dimes (five cent silver coins), as well as dimes. Since then you’ve needed quarters and higher to get an eagle you might be able to make scream.
Never one on a nickel.
There was an old saying, pinching pennies so hard the Indian screamed. That of course would have been before 1909.
Maybe she squeezed so hard that the dime eagle saw it and was horrified that it was next. 😀
Lol, Steve, I’m Southern. We say all kinds of shit that makes no sense!
Yeah, but you’ve never gone so nonsensical as to claim that Biden is doing a good job keeping America great.
Well, I’m Southern. I not insane!
Just saw another one – squeezing a nickle until the Indian is riding the buffalo!
Lol!
Bingo 🙂
🙂
Amen
Amazon workers in the Seattle area are miffed at layoffs and requirements to actually go in to work instead of telecommute, so they’re staging a walkout.
That should keep ’em off the layoff list, for sure….
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/seattle-amazon-workers-plan-walkout-protest-returning-office-layoffs
It’ll sure keep them from collecting unemployment benefits.
What does a walkout by telecommuters look like?
Everybody standing outside their apartment saying,”This will show them!”?
[loud snort]
I had the same thought.
But if they were forced to physically commute, then they could walk out of that office.
A self-selecting RIF would be nice for those tasked with informing those terminated.
Jack, is EVIL.
No idea why anyone would listen to Jack.
Jack himself, needs to be splintered into a thousand pieces and scattered into the winds.
Splinter Jack – sounds like a cheap wine.
Right down there with TwoBuck Chuck and AppleJack…
Yeah I have a feeling that Ronnie has hired “The Professionals.” May amateur hour commence.
Top men, on the job.
“TOP. MEN.”
Only the best for Jeb.
Err, Reb. Errr, Rob. Errr, Rhonda.
Please clap.
Lol!
I love his honesty and “coaching” here! GO TEAM POTUS!!! 😂
Another, Robs.
Did somebody call Ron DeSantis “Rob” somewhere? Usually, Trump is doing something like that to make fun of somebody. Did Biden do it?
I’ve seen 2 theories on that name…
1) combination of Ron and Jeb
2) he’s trying to rob President Trump of the rightful nomination.
knowing Trump’s sense of humor…I vote #1
Sounds about right.
‘and’ …
Rob = Ron + Jeb ; for sure IMO!
#1 splains it.
“Rob” 😂 😅 😂
Did Elon accidentally call him “Rob”? I don’t want to watch the whole thing! 😂
Dunno. I won’t listen to Rhonda.
I used, Rob, off of Trump’s statements / TWs.
Matt Gaetz:
🙂
Ron and Eron are made for each other!
Definitely. You know Elon will get a lot of grift as payout.
It’s ALL business with Elon. Schmoozing the way ahead…
Funding AND Fed approvals, permits…(Space, solar…)
Looks like Rhonda Santis may have a SOROS asset running his campaign. WTF!!!
Wench needs more Botox.
LOL!!!
Malpractice!

Yes it is. But, more Botox will help. Nanzi swears by, more Botox is better.
LMAO! Malpractice!!! 😂
Wow.
I think she’s “behind the scene” due to a spooky resemblance to this guy:
Izzz that a Gyyyyyyrllll?
Looks like the reverse of the Rachel Maddow, erm, transition…
LMAO!!!
This is a complicated deal, but the video is WOW. Dude harasses Target employees over their “pride” display, and debate ensues about whether harassing minions is a good idea.
What nobody mentions – that the videographer asks the first Target employee if she supports the satanic pride stuff, and she says she supports both pride and Satan!
And here is how I found it – an apt but absolutely disgusting meme where Miller defends his point when challenged by the video maker.
Good with the basic asking questions. Once he’s asked to leave, he needs to leave.
Should Rosa Parks have moved to the back of the bus?
Nice!!!
🙂
Civil disobedience. There you go. IMO it’s the choice of the individual, but one has to take the punishment willingly.
Exactly.
I stand corrected.
I agree with Wolf. It’s civil disobedience. If we engage in it, we just have to be ready to man up and face the consequences.
This is an expectable development!
Mark Levin is on the DeSedative train:
Is there a rehab for that?
Apparently not. Levin recovered from declaring himself a Never Trumper in 2016 to supporting Trump, but has now relapsed.
Levin suffers from a terminal case of, flowing with the Windsock…
Levin is a two faced puppet. Not to long ago he could not put enough praise on Trump after he had dinner with Trump. The GOP is full of charlatans like this that is why I stand with Trump not with the GOP.
^^^ Bingo.
Trump gave Levin a lengthy interview a month or so ago.
…I stand with Trump not with the GOP.
Stated another way. I stand with Trump, not with the Uniparty.
OR
I stand with Trump. America First. <<< It IS that simple.
Amen 🙂
LoL at relapsed.
Levin has been suspect for years.
Also called the screamer by my husband 🙂
LOL!!!
Levin supports REWRITING THE CONSTITUTION INSTEAD OF AMENDING IT!!!
I found the stuff and posted it OT years ago.
Hard NO on both, rewrite or amend. Live within the Constitution.
The ‘Carrot’ is term limitations. That could be done via an Amendment or better yet HONEST ELECTIONS.
Term limitations has my support.
Besides, money under the table….
Guessing.
Windsock Ron will have a steady stream of endorsements over the next week or two.
^^^ Illusion of broad base support. Theater.
He showed up in my spam I deleted and blocked him.
Apropos of nothing in particular, Peter Gabriel is going on tour. This is likely to be his last, as he is 73 years old. I first saw him live at the Greek Theater in LA for his “Security” tour, and last saw him doing a joint tour with Sting some years back in San Jose.
Just to keep things fresh, he appears to be touring in support of an album that does not yet fully exist, called “i/o”, that has been over a decade in the making. He is releasing individual tracks approximately once per month.
The tour has a stop in San Francisco (yuck) where the good seats start at about $400. I’m looking at options.
Just to give you an idea how his concerts can go, here’s one I saw —
Probably could have been a bit more recent —
For that concert, we started about 20 feet behind his keyboards.
This is nice – it gets to the core of wokeness, and explains where it comes from – cultural Marxism.
^ That’s a gem
Check this out:
At the first sign of the word “intersect,” you know things are going cuckoo.
As an update to the healthcare clusterfark….
I had a couple of referrals after my CT scan. One to an endocrinologist leveraged off the thing on my adrenal gland (which I’m concerned about), and one to a GI doc based off the abdominal fluid (ascites). Since I already knew the path that the latter would likely take (75% of ascites are due to a liver problem, which backs up into the portal vein, which leaks into the abdomen…..except that my liver is not enlarged, is not lumpy, is not hardened, and my portal vein looks good), I wasn’t driving it as hard as I might otherwise have done. After all, I thought I was merely counting days until my endo appointment until it got derailed the day before.
Anyhoo, I originally had a GI referral inside my insurance plan…..for NOVEMBER (from April). I went back to my PCP about this being unreasonable, and he found a GI doc at Valley Medical (the low-rent patient dumping ground) and rammed it through my insurance plan so I got an authorization. Tricky, and patient-focused — I appreciated it.
Then I called in to that doc to try to get an appointment. He can’t schedule one until Valley Med creates a file for me and issues their own authorization. I faxed stuff over to their authorization department and tried to call to check status. They don’t do phones.
Being that I had some time that I would have preferred to use visiting the endo doc, I pushed on the Valley Med GI Authorization today. Just one of my phone calls was 46 minutes long (mostly on hold). I repeatedly pressed for an address so that I could go crash their party, and asked about management escalations.
At the end of the day, Valley Med Authorization conceded that I had done everything necessary, except that they were stuck because my PCP had not forwarded “Clinical Notes” and they could not finish processing my file and release it. I immediately called my PCP’s office and relayed this (mind you, Valley Med Auth hadn’t bothered to make a friendly call themselves). The PCP office said, “what do they need?” and I replied, “how the fark do I know? I’m just a patient!” So Valley Med Authorization got about 150 pages of file dump with a sweet note that said, “we hope this is all you require.”
DePat’s “Pharma Middlemen” article, with “Death by Queue”, really resonates today.
Some things never change.
IIRC. Back in the 60s and 70s, Valley Medical Center, was the low rent dumping ground.
Yep. But then — as now — there were some talented physicians working there. I really appreciate my PCP looking under the seat cushions to find someone he considers qualified who isn’t already scheduled until 2024.
That Valley Med actively pushes-back on referrals from actual funded plans in favor of homeless drug addicts from their emergency rooms on government care is just another sign of how screwed-up healthcare has become.
One hopes that by the end of the day today, you have an appointment set up at Valley Med.
Ugh, I Really feel your pain here (sorry for the tardy reply but I’m finally working on catching up on reading here after being out of town w/ Very Limited internet access for about a week & a half). Hope you’ve gotten this situation mostly resolved now!
Yo, Kalbo —
I hope that Typhoon Mawar is far enough to your north that it isn’t creating undue hardship.
It can’t be too bad because you’ve been getting decent internet.
Appreciate the heads up.
Sunday, Mawar fringes tracking to pass NE Luzon. Likely heading to Southern Taiwan. Perhaps Kaohsiung area. Then onto Chyna.
My location. Infanta, Pangasinan. Western side Luzon. ~One hour SW Lingayen Gulf.
Rainy and thunder most of the day. Normal, May going into June.
Typhoons, like hurricanes — everyone likes to track the eye…..but some of those bad b****es are hundreds of miles across.
I’m minded of some German weather service talking about how a hurricane was hitting Houston, and someone laid a picture of the whole thing over a map of Europe and it stretched from Spain to Poland.
Good to know your little slice of Paradise is safe and snug…..if noisy.
Sorry if duplicate, but this is really funny!!

Funny no matter how many times you watch it. Keeper!
Hope beer drinkers hold the line…

JD Rucker is obviously my brother from another mother with the Faith, Family, Nation article link. Thanks for posting that DePat.
Prayers for my wife’s youngest sister (63) and family will be appreciated today. She has been trending downward over the past five years with Emphysema, COPD and lately, Sepsis. Has been on oxygen full time for years. Basically, her lungs are dead. She was intubated in ICU a few days ago and is on morphine with the comfort care. She is a Christian and desiring to go home. The life support will be removed this morning. The problem is that her heart is strong and likely to rebel. I request prayers for her to go peacefully without any more suffering. It would not be of benefit for life to continue long in her state of being. She has said her goodbyes to all of her loved ones and made peace. Thanks to all of you.
Prayers and Peace.
Of course. That’s a tough one to handle.
prayers going up!
may she, and all of you, find peace!
