I had a few uncles who served in WWII. They'd start telling stories after a few drinks. I've always thought they started drinking because of the things they had seen. They were patriotic men until the day they died.
Was really proud of our 10 yr old grandson today. He saw flags flying and said, "I know you're gone but I want to thank you for your service."
Can I call it a reddish moment because I was only 9yo. On my 9th birthday, my Dad came home looking depressed. Jim Garrison lost the Clay Shaw assassination conspiracy trial that day because Shaw was found innocent. Dad worked on Garrison's team. He told me that day, "Always question what the gov't tells you." The feds did everything they could to torpedo the trial and Dad was bitter.
I keep thinking about Garabandal and how Francis might try to downplay it. One of the visionaries, after an apparition of the Blessed Mother, Conchita said:
"First, a World-Wide Warning that will happen in the sky…like the collision of two stars that do not fall down… it will frighten all humanity regardless of where one happens to be at the time… it will be a thousand times worse than earthquakes… like a fire that will not burn our flesh … it will last a very short time, although to us it will seem to be a very long time … no one can prevent it from happening … It will be recognized as coming from God… it will resemble a punishment … it is meant to be a purification … like the revelation of our sins and what we will feel in our hearts will be worse than sorrow. It will not kill us, if we die it will be caused by the emotion within us. The date was not revealed only that it will happen before the announcement of the miracle. The Warning is a thing that comes directly from God and will be visible throughout the entire world in whatever place anyone might be.
I'm sorry for your family's troubles. My husband ran his family's sugar cane farm for years. The amount of bullshit he and other farmers go through with the federal government is a crime or should be. Why not let farmers just do their jobs? I remember and I'm sure you do as well those nights when my husband and your dad came home bone tired only to have start on the paperwork the damned government required.
Our doc told us years ago that the numbers for acceptable cholesterol, blood pressure, thyroid, etc. were all changed which led to more people needing prescriptions. He goes by the old numbers and whether or not his patients have symptoms. The AMA was started by Rockefeller, so the cabal owns the medical establishment because a doc can't practice without AMA blessing (curse).
We've moved up thanks to electing a MAGA governor, Jeff Landry, to replace the leftist Edwards. Many who voted for Landry believed that the 2019 election was stolen from Edwards's opponent, Eddie Rispone when at the last minute the number of votes needed for Edwards to win magically appeared from NOLA.
