Honestly is there any better feeling than coming home at the end of a day or evening out, taking off your shoes, work or dressy clothes, bra, removing your makeup, all of your jewellery, tying your hair up and putting on comfy sweat pants and a sweatshirt?

I think not.

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

True faith isn’t about excusing hate, bigotry, or misogyny. Defending that behaviour just because someone shares your religion isn’t faith it’s hypocrisy. A bad person can hide behind any faith, and a kind person can live without one. Faith doesn’t excuse cruelty, & decency doesn’t depend on belief.

But then 25 yrs later people would choose to listen to court jesters and stop getting the vaccine. And so measles comes back. And the epidemic they were experiencing would return. Because of a court jester.

I bet that they’d be super impressed with future mankind

Imagine time travelling to a measles epidemic in the 1800’s and telling people that one day, thru the miracle of science and medicine, there’d be a vaccine to prevent it. And that by the year 2000 it would be declared eradicated!

Children around the world have become the greatest victims of intense greed and power lust Their health. Their safety. Their families. Their food. Their shelter. Their lives. Their ability to enjoy childhood. From Gaza to Washington.

Star date: August 2, 2025. The sun rose this morning over Canada. The people yawned, had their morning coffee, read their social feeds, scratched their heads and carried on.

Add a Bible to the mix, and they all convince themselves it’s righteous.

But this isn’t righteousness. It’s moral decay.

This isn’t about left or right politics..
It’s about right and wrong.

There are two things making this moment possible.

First, a narcissistic bully who thrives on power, greed, and control.
Second, a chorus of enablers so desperate to stay close to him, and feed off him, that they’ll echo whatever he says, no matter how untrue or dangerous.

I believe there’s been 60 trade-related announcements from the US (including letters, tariffs, orders, etc.) since January.
(Give or take a few 🤷🏻‍♀️)

As of right now 6 of them are actually in effect.

Hold onto your real history books America. Guard them for the precious words and lessons they are.
You’re seriously going to need them as the truth gets rewritten and the facts conveniently lost.

All you need to do is put him in a beautiful country he wants but can’t have, not let him control the room, and poof he vanishes. It’s Canadian magic.
