my assss!!

Over the years, we've all heard phrases like "if it's written for us to be together..." or "if it's written up there that the two of them should be together..." However, what many people probably don't know is that this matter is more complicated than that. And I say this because there are at least three situations in which God wants or "has written" for two people to be together (at least three situations that I know of, but there's the possibility and probability of more). Let's take and explain them one by one.

It might be written for two people to be together for 1 week, 2, 3... 1 month... 2, 3... 1 year... 2... 5 or as long as God wishes... during which time the two are meant to experience something... to learn something about themselves (what they like and don't like in a partner... what they want or don't want from a potential partner... etc.) or to feel for the first time what it's like to be in love or to go through a particular situation together... because God needed both of them to go through that situation... and it was best if they did it together as a couple, not separately as two strangers... or I don't know what other experiences that limited-term relationship might have brought them.

God might bring two people together to conceive a child... but not because they are soulmates, but because God needs that child to be born... and only from the union of those two... that child could come into existence.

God might bring two people together because they are meant to be together forever; they are soulmates and they need to meet and unite because they were created for each other.

So, when you say, "if it is written to be/together," consider all the possibilities... not just the last one (No. 3... soulmates), because things are not as simple as we sometimes wish... Thank you for your attention.

There was a time when politician and lawyer Rudy Giuliani was 'on top of the world' even if it was a small world. He was respected by many and (for the most part) made a contribution on controlling crime in New York. Somehow, he flipped from the good side of the law to the bad side. He's 79 years old now and eyeballs deep in legal troubles.

Things probably started going downhill when he started supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 election and was Trump's attorney during that time. Since Trump is known for not paying his attorneys, my guess is it started a financial difficulty for Rudy that only snowballed.

2023 isn't a good year for Rudy. He was indicted in Georgia for his part to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his role in January 6 insurrection. He lost the defamation case with the election workers and later admitted he lied about them. He's got to pay those two women.

Trump had a $100,000 a plate dinner to raise funds for Rudy's legal fees. Unknown what that netted (less Trump's fee) but that's not enough.

News today, Rudy's ex-lawyer has filed a lawsuit seeking nearly $1.4 million in unpaid bills.

He's been barred from practicing law and the bills are stacking up.

It's reported his Upper East Side apartment is on the market for $6.5 million.

That should keep the wolves off his doorstep. Oh, wait... he won't have a doorstep if the apartment sells.
Rudy... of your own doing, you're in deep shit.

I came across a profile this morning where the photo linked to a Canadian woman who posts YouTube videos. From there I found her before and after photos of her plastic surgery that involved moving the fat from her backside to her frontside.
The process is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
I first heard the term more than 12 years ago when one of the stylists at the hair salon I went to had the procedure done. Carla (not her real name) was an attractive woman of Latin/Spanish descent and maybe a little too friendly with me at times. She was difficult with English language and had huge buttocks. One day I was there to see my regular stylist and noticed this woman had gone through an amazing transformation. The shape and size of her belly and butt were smaller and her boobs were noticeably bigger. Her jeans were so tight, they looked like they were spray-painted on!
Woah... what happened to Carla? I asked my stylist and was told she had a Brazilian Butt Lift. Carla was friendlier now then in the past. Part of me said 'go for it' and the logical part of me said 'this could be trouble' so I never reacted to her friendly advances.
Less than a year later when I went to my regular stylist, I didn't see Carla and asked. I was told she had an offer to work at another salon and relocated.
So, this morning reading about a Brazilian Butt Lift, the cost, the pain and the woman/women who have the procedure done brought a smile to my face!

I guess I've got to be the first to bring today's top story about Hunter Biden being indictment on federal gun charges... more news at 11pm.

I am now an investor of Cusi-nah Resto-Bar. A local food establishment in our own place in Pasay. Filipino restaurant, catering service, frozen food distributor.

Hashem, thank you very much. My business partner and I even have the same bank for business. China Savings Bank. Legit . All went well.

Unfortunately this is a long documentary, so it's unlikely to be watched by those who have fully engaged with Trump's ethos.

It's very well presented, though.

I'm trying to be non-political today, but I'm noticing a really high percentage of Republicans using the word 'weaponized' to describe any government efforts that follow the law. Governor Ron DeSantis says it often, probably as much as he uses 'woke' to describe some political orientation that differs from his own.

Hearing the word weaponized gets connected with the Department of Justice (DOJ) when they research into someones (believed to be illegal) activity and have proof of wrongdoing... suddenly, the Republicans (or those who support Republicans) insert that word... weaponized in their statements on TRUTH, X (formally Twitter) or news shows.

Last week, I blogged about a political 'dog whistle' where certain words or phrases are used to alert followers of a political group. MAGA was one of them and weaponized needs to be added to the list.

Wouldn't you think laws are in place for a reason?
I get it... when a government agency follows the law they are being weaponized.

Lifted from the online page of the Kyiv Independent newspaper.. The numbers in blue are losses of the past 24 hours. Russian supporters will dispute all of the numbers of course.
Russia of course still insists in all of the war they have only lost about 7,000 soldiers so far. Which is way lower than the 267,540 killed soldiers or solders wounded seriously enough to be a casualty that Ukraine has counted laying a round screaming or feeding crows.
Losing 47 supply or fuel trucks in just the past 24 hours has got to make Russia;s logistic people upset.
The good news for Russia is in the past 24 hours they don't seem to have lost any more boats or planes.

I see in the news that Donald J. Trump was holding a $100,000 a plate fundraiser dinner for his former attorney, Rudy Giuliani. The event was to be held at his Bedminster country club.

I haven't followed up as of yet, but one article brought some interesting reader comments and that is usually better than the story itself.

For example...
If Trump would have paid Giuliani for his legal fees in the first place, he probably would not need to have the fundraiser.

MAGA complain about prices and the economy, yet they continue to donate money to trump and his minions.

Trump must be scared that Rudy will flip on him.

Trump doing something to benefit someone else?? Somehow he will make it all about himself. There has to be something in it for him or else he wouldn't bother.

If Ghouliani thinks he needs money now, just wait until they see the settlement for Miss Ruby, his lawsuit for exploiting his secretary, and Jack Smith drops the J6th charges on him.

He's apparently trying to keep Rudy in the fold. Rudy knows where all the bodies are buried going back to the old days. Since Rudy is guilty as sin, the chances of him turning are good. djt doesn't want that.

Only a complete fool would give Rudy money, he created his own mess, let him pay the price!

Would love to know the number of plates sold and who paid for them. Also, the names of the people who actually attended.
(don't worry - it wouldn't surprise me if there will be investigations for the source of the funds)

Those who contribute to the defense of this traitor are traitors themselves.

Yeah, I’m totally sure ALL of it is going to Rudy, trump wouldn’t ever skimm

MAGA: My Attorney Got Arrested!!
