George H. W. Bush... 1924 - 2018
Last night before going to bed, I scanned a few news stories and George H. W. Bush was on the front page as he died at the age of 94. This morning, I had to do a search as it's no longer the top story.
Also in the obituaries is Kuma, a trained dog who played the part of Stan on the Disney Channel. Kuma leaves us at the age of 16.

A story
I had a best friend whom I had been friends with for 23 years. Yes, my entire life. We had only fought about once or twice in our entire lives, but nothing major had ever happened until a few months ago. Things started to get a little rocky and it got scary. We were so close and I didn't know what I would do without her. At the same time, it seemed like our lives were going in circles. We weren?t really progressing in our own lives. Something had to change.
Skip ahead to about a month ago, we decided mutually to maybe just give each other space. We didn't talk for an entire month. During that month, I remained positive, went out with other friends. Yes I missed her, but I knew I had a life to live and dreams to fulfill. And I wasn't ashamed to say that I was having fun! And so many doors were opening for me.
About a day ago she contacted me, a little hostile, asking how I could throw away a 23 year friendship. Also stating that she wanted bygones to be bygones, but I felt the issue was deeper than that. I texted her and told her that I couldn?t speak to her because I didn?t know what to say so I would write her a letter. She was angry.
I ended up writing a five page letter to her and mailed it. I prayed over it and poured all my love into it. God, my heart and my intuition were telling me that we just can't be in each others lives right now, we don?t have enough focus when we?re together and my parents had been telling me that for awhile, but I had to come to know this on my own. It hurts to think that she may hate me for awhile because she doesn't understand, but at the same time I feel such a sense of serenity.
I know we'll be friends again in a late time. We just need to get our lives together first. I continue to fill myself with love and positivity every day, and maybe that?s why I'm not as sad as I thought I would be. :)
Thank you Universe for speaking to me and letting events happen at their perfect timing.
Life is a punishment? or Life is a reward?
Life is a punishment? or Life is a reward?
there are many questions in my mind since childhood. it is one of them.
Powerful earthquake rocks Nepal......
KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A powerful, magnitude-7.9 earthquake shook Nepal's capital and the densely populated Kathmandu Valley before noon Saturday, collapsing houses, leveling centuries-old temples and cutting open roads in the worst temblor in the Himalayan nation in over 80 years.
Dozens of people with injuries were being brought to the main hospital in central Kathmandu. There was no immediate estimate on fatalities, except for a report by China's state broadcaster that said one Chinese tourist was killed at the Nepal-China border.
The earthquake also shook several cities across northern India, and was felt as far away as Lahore in Pakistan and Lhasa in Tibet, 550 kilometers (340 miles) east of Kathmandu. Aftershocks continued to ripple through the region for hours.
Pushpa Das, a laborer, ran from the house when the first quake struck but could not escape a collapsing wall that injured his arm.
"It was very scary. The earth was moving … I am waiting for treatment but the (hospital) staff is overwhelmed," he said, gingerly holding his right arm with his left hand. As he spoke dozens of more people showed up with injuries, mostly from falling bricks.

Love and Time
- Love and Time -
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived:
Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others,
including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the
island would sink, so all constructed boats and left.
Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold
out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and
silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in
a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my
boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go
with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that
she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you.
" It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot
to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived
at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how
much was owed the elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how
valuable Love is

Forget hypotheticals. Now a second and third woman are set to testify against Kavanaugh
While at a party while Kavanaugh was a freshman at Yale, a second woman claims that Kavanaugh pushed his uninvited nude p*nis in the face of that woman and she had to push it away.
Today in the New Yorker;
and now a THIRD woman has come forward.
While I will hold judgement until after all the evidence is presented, each new witness provides more
and more credibility to the liklihood that they are telling the truth.
A s*xual predator usually has more than one occurrence. It's often more of a lifestyle, especially if
they have gotten away with it.
Today in the New Yorker;
In response to:
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh now faces accusations of s*xual misconduct from a second woman.

Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels Attorney, Claims He Has Third Kavanaugh Accuser
In a New Yorker report from Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer, Deborah Ramirez, a classmate of Kavanaugh at Yale, said Kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college dormitory party. The story dates to the 1983-1984 years, which would have been Kavanaugh’s freshman year at the university.
The report adds to the mounting pressure on Kavanaugh, who will be confronted at a Senate hearing on Thursday by Christine Blasey Ford, a high school classmate, with allegations that he attempted to sexually assault her at a party in the early 1980s.
This latest account claims Kavanaugh exposed himself at a college party where he and Ramirez were both drinking. Kavanaugh allegedly “thrust his p*nis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”
Four Democrat Senators were alerted to the allegation by a civil rights attorney. Ramirez claims that she consulted with an attorney and carefully reviewed her memories before coming forward on the alleged incident. She, too, is asking for an FBI investigation, as Blasey Ford has done.
Ramirez, age 53, studied sociology and psychology at Yale and later worked for an organization that supports victims of domestic violence. Ramirez was allegedly reluctant to talk, according to the New Yorker story, because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. She was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the incident with certainty, the New Yorker said, but then felt confident after reviewing her thoughts.
In a statement to the New Yorker, Kavanaugh wrote, “This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name — and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building — against these last-minute allegations.”
The story quotes Ramirez as stating, “I wasn’t going to touch a p*nis until I was married. I was embarrassed and ashamed and humiliated.” She claimed Kavanaugh laughed at her.
“I can still see his face, and his hips coming forward, like when you pull up your pants.”
The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party.

Michael Avenatti, who represents porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal entanglements with President Donald Trump, claims he is also representing a woman with “credible information regarding Judge Kavanaugh” and his high school friend, Mark Judge.
“We will be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the (Senate) committee and will likewise be demanding that Judge and others be subpoenaed to testify,” Avenatti said in a Twitter post on Sunday. “The nomination must be withdrawn,” he said.
Avenatti had hinted with an earlier tweet that he had information on Kavanaugh.
“What happens at Georgetown Prep does not stay at Georgetown Prep,” he tweeted.

Mueller Report Causes Democrats To Double Down On Their Mental Seizures
Never expect facts to change anything for the Democrats.
Their strategy is the same as it always is since President Trump was elected: character assassination. A strategy that even Bernie Sanders warns them is a loser. They know that Attorney General Barr is now going after the REAL crimes, the crimes that the DEMOCRATS engaged in when they started this sham investigation against President Trump in the first place and they are IN FULL PANIC MODE. They are scattering like roaches. And, most importantly, they are trying to assassinate the character and credibility of AG Barr the same way they used lies and deceit to TRY to assassinate President Trump's character (and Justice Kavanaugh and anyone else who tries to stand in the way of their radical agenda.)
Of course their attack on AG Barr is also a FRAUD. They accuse him of being the presidents "hand picked" attorney general. Ahh hello? ... how else is the AG supposed to be picked? By a lottery? What a JOKE! Where were they when convicted perjurer Eric Holder, Obama's (hand picked) AG, boasted that he was Obama's "Wing Man?"
And where were they when Obama's second AG -- AFTER HOLDER WAS FOUND GUILTY OF PERJURY BEFORE CONGRESS -- the fraud Loretta Lynch was CAUGHT SECRETLY MEETING WITH THE HUSBAND OF THE TARGET OF THE PERSON SHE WAS SUPPOSEDLY INVESTIGATING HILLARY CLINTON? Oh that's right, they "only talked about their grandchildren."
And what about President Kennedy? He appointed his own brother to be AG! Where were the Democrats THEN?
All the Democrats agreed that William Barr was an honest, straightforward and thorough prosecutor....they all approved of him in the past when he served, that is until it is DEMOCRATS that he is now prosecuting. Democrats are FAKES, PHONIES AND FRAUDS.
I don't think the Mueller report, that ended the issue for anyone who is sane, will cause the Democrats one second's pause. No matter what the report said, they would call it a cover up. It's all an effort to appeal to their voters who have a mental problem and NEED some kind of excuse why their ideology LOST the 2016 election. They think their ideas are so superior to everyone elses' that they simply cannot understand why they were rejected except for that anyone who didn't vote for them is too stupid to understand (like a "basket of deplorables") and that they must have cheated. So the Democrat politicians keep feeding these delusions with more and more outlandish lies because that's what their voters want. They need to live in their delusional cocoon to avoid facing the reality THAT THEIR IDEAS ARE NOT WANTED.
When no one wants the ideas you are selling what is left except to try to destroy your opponent. And that is exactly what the desperate Democrats are trying (unsuccessfully) to do.
Democrat political opportunists are seizing on this new epidemic of mental illness among their deranged constituents and they are hoping to finally win something by exploiting it.
But I'll tell you this. After more than two years of the Democrats and their socialist so-called "news" media dragging the country through this scam investigation SOMEONE is going to have to pay. And I wouldn't want to be on the side of the scammers when AG Barr gets to the prosecution. The difference between his investigation and the phony investigation against President Trump is that we already have the smoking guns in AG Barr's investigation -- the fake dossier paid for by Clinton and the Democrats, the Russian connections, the fraudulently obtained warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. We ALREADY HAVE the smoking guns. Now all we need is the prosecutions. The REAL crimes are about to be revealed and those who committed them are going to finally be held accountable. The Democrats are FREAKING OUT!
In the end Democrats are hoping there are enough of these mental cases and ignorants out there to win the 2020 presidential election. And the scariest part is they may be right.

Canadian Doctor: 62% of Patients Vaccinated for COVID Have Permanent Heart Damage
Dr. Charles Hoffe, the brave doctor has been practicing medicine for 28 years in the small, rural town of Lytton in British Columbia, Canada. After he had administered about 900 doses of the Moderna experimental mRNA COVID-19 injections, he sounded the alarm over the severe reactions he was observing in his patients who chose to get the shot (he chose NOT to get it himself), which included death.
The result of him sounding the alarm was a gag order issued against him by the medical authorities in his community. He defied this gag order and was interviewed by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson on her show where he sounded the alarm.

His punishment for going public to warn others on the dangers of these experimental shots was that he was relieved from hospital duty and lost half of his income:
