Thank you so much.. this site has built me back up into a stronger warrior. My Bio : For many years I was a strong Republican , been to dinners, met and had signed photos ( trash long ago ) of The Bushes the whole deal ( before I knew) after 911 I didn’t know why or how but I just knew in my heart somehow Bush was involved..no proof just something rocked me to the core and I just knew. I didn’t vote for him second term, mentioned it to a few people but was received as a nut or laughed at ..my own daughter 27 yrs old and now a leftist, brings it up sometimes and says, don’t get my mom started on politics, she thinks the government caused 9/11 and her friends laugh ..however a few of her friends listened and have become patriots, daughters still lost. Another daughter 29 is special needs she’ll always be a child! My son , her older brother knows the truth, and I thank God that he does not so much that I have an ally but for his own good, we need to teach the kids so they have a foundation once we are gone! Once Obama came into play I really retreated, honestly I stopped all media so I had no idea what was going on in the world, but I knew it was bad. I come from the modeling world so I saw a lot of sickness back then, ( left because of it ) but nothing like the murderous heartbreaking horror that’s happening now in the industry. Once Trump came along I was still skeptical but voted and that was it..it wasnt until half way into his term when I happened by accident while someone else’s TV was on and saw what the dems were doing during the Kavenaugh ( good or bad ) hearings that I said WTF is going on in our world. I started watching Fox News because that was the only thing that I had other than the other MSM which I knew was poison. I hadn’t watched a hour of news in years so I was pretty shocked. I watched Fox up until around the election where I could see something wasn’t right and then of course during the election and the days that followed I was pissed shut off Fox and have not turned it on since. The rest is what I already wrote, I was deeply wounded, knocked down and nearly taken out by January 20, I reached out to a friend here in San Diego who told me about this board and I went on on the 20th. I literally spent hours and then days and nights for the first few weeks , after that I kept taking days off from work, or I’d take off mornings and only schedule late afternoon appts, I make my own schedule. I became obsessed with catching up to what the powers that be had been doing, the more I learned the more I wanted to learn. It had been 12 to 14 yrs since I read or watched current events “news” I knew basically nothing about life in the world outside of my safe bubble of surfing, beaches and hiking trails. Damn I was rocked to my core, I mean I knew even when I was a Bush republican supporter that there was bad stuff going on , I knew JFK was CIA etc but damn they sure have progressed while I wasn’t watching ! Anyway I got caught up pretty quickly and I sure am grateful! Thank you for your awesome comment and for sharing info to those on this board who you may never hear from !
