214. I Agree With You Wholeheartedly -- Our Nation Has Recovered From Greater Trauma In The Past

Mon Mar 3, 2025, 06:37 AM

Mar 2025

I cast aside the delusions of hopes and prayers long ago.

I and mine reside within the the troubled state of Louisiana, currently under the rule of Y'all Qaeda's Fascist Nat-C mob bosses.

Louisiana is in even worse shape that the Carolinas.

I, my honey and our daughter are actively seeking out other life opportunities within non-fascist locales.

Finishing repairs on my childhood home, finding a new place to purchase that fits with a new work paradigm, health care, and life's desires are the battles I and mine work towards on a daily basis.

Our nation can recover and be better than we ever were.
I do not know that will happen within my lifetime.
I do not know that it will not happen within my lifetime.

I do know that:

United We Stand
Divided We Fall
