12 days later and it's not clickbait baby!
Hi, y'all 👋🤠. It's been 12 days since I wrote here.
Mars was retrograde basically things seeming like it's been going backwards.

Now it's direct and forwarding motion!
At the moment waiting for my check to hit the bank. Very little food past 2 days. For some the end of the month is tough.
With the rising prices it seems like the middle of the month has become the end!
I used to have a blog called " The Cosmic Political Wheel".
It was just as it said, a compilation of Astrology, insight and the political reality.

There is now so much " In your face" options and for some like me looking into the facts of what's really going on.

So this blog is going to be about some of the recent research my sis and I have learned in the past month. It started with a rather heated comment above the news story about " The CDC website having to take down certain Trans and HIV pages."
My friend who posted it on Facebook doesn't usually use such pissed-off words!
She's Catholic and has been into Woman's right and human/animals rights like I am.

So we started Googling the CDC...
( By the way part of our conversation was that, "whenever I'm looking up something medical and have looked at their website it's mostly Data . I've been on PDFs on it and I understood most of it, but it was Too much information that wasn't specifically what I needed".)

Sis started telling me about how The USIAD is studying food carts in Singapore. What is that supposed to do to slow down pandemics or disease control in the USA?

This and other things are costing millions of dollars.

That's just the tip of the iceberg of what we learned. Just one simple example. I found many more and took notes and have been processing everything.

It's not going to be one post! I can tell you that!
I guess this subject is going to be a teaser at the moment.
We watched a couple of YouTube videos from Forbes ( which I trust a lot more than other biased outlets. I read the conflicting sides and try to glean the truth from all sides...)

The video was of Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana. He's a very well spoken man and down to earth. I never heard of him before but he really got my attention and hers.

While people are tripping on if 150 years old people are getting Social security checks (!) he takes about real situations where people are getting those checks that shouldn't be. Like a woman who had been collecting her mother's checks for 48 years. The mom was a Veteran and had passed away but her daughter kept them anyway.

This is off the top of my head and my notes are somewhere else.
Needless to say my brain is full of what I learned and knew I had to say something about it.

Some people's attitudes are " Don't confuse me with the facts"
They take a stand and won't open their mind with anything they don't agree with. Or even want to dig deeper.
They "know what they know and that's it!"


I may not agree but I'm willing to listen and at least consider anothers viewpoint . Most get so heated and emotional they can't hear anything but what they think.

I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything except what I learned and my takeaway from all of this.

It's on you to decide what you think!

Years ago we were going to get degrees in Mass Communication. During the classes we learned from Jim Dunn the head of the Media Department about " Staged Media Events" This was in the early 1990s . How the Camara could make it appear like very few people showed up for a protest for example. Or how it could show a lot showed up.

As we learned more about the manipulation of news stories.
We both decided to drop out rather than be a part of it.
I went into performing arts then Nursing.

So I'm going to end here for now!
I'm in the middle of the ulcers race, trying to get better and dealing with on top of my regular meds having to take liquid that tastes like cheap Pepto bismal 4 times a day and live my life!

I don't know if my lifelong faith is real or not most days.
Hanging on to hope that things will get better.
Fixing the car took a lot of money but thankfully we have it working. Uber costed a bunch for me to get to the store.
Life goes on !
Be blessed and hang in there 😀🙏! Stay tuned!
