FROWNING BARK FACE; Castle Rock-WA

MONDAY, May 25th: Another rainy day in WA State. While I was watching - and listening to the rain drown out the freeway noise … I thought I saw a frowning face in the tree bark, outside; so, I snapped off a picture, and indeed I did 😉

It would appear that even the trees are ready for a break form the rain.

And I am in agreement.

Rain, rain … more rain; & and do I see a frowning face in the bark?
Even the tree outside is tired of the rain.

Rain makes me sleepy.

I do not want to spend all my time in dreamland.

I did a quick workout to shake the sleepiness:

Back & Shoulder Toning = 8-15 rep x3, 3x a week.

And noticed too, after lunch, that at least the rain has been good for one thing: Betsy finally got washed 🚘💧👍

It was pouring so hard, rain was running off the roof like a waterfall & Betsy got a good wash job.

SUNDAY SENSORY LEG STRETCH~Jailhouse Park/Self-Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

SUNDAY, MAY 24th: I do not recognize America anymore - how we are living now, is not how life was imagined with the founding and establishment of America by our Founding Fathers: they must be turning over in their graves with the way obanamite muslim madness has captured weak-minded lemmings; and the way socialists have commandeered our governing seats to implement communism.

barak hussein obama is an islamic prince born into a communist family - and he practices a bastardized form of islam; this is why he and his he-she are greedy, gluttonous muslims … bent on destroying America and demoralizing weak-spined Americans. muslim socialism is a political philosophy that incorporates elements of islam into a system of socialism. As a term, it was coined by various left-wing muslim leaders to describe a more spiritual form of socialism. islamic socialists believe that the teachings of the qur'an and hadith, citing aspects of the religion like zakat, are not only compatible with principles of socialism, but also very supportive of them. And communism is supportive of socialism because they are two sides of the same hand. Early faces in islam, such as abu dharr al-ghifari, a companion of muhammad, and the first caliph, abu bakr, are sometimes regarded as forerunners of islamic socialism for their advocacy of wealth redistribution. Interest in fusing islam and socialism emerged in the nineteenth century, with jamal al-din al-afghani, whose writings on the topic were published in the 1930s and influenced many later thinkers. This was the obama plan ... even though they themselves are not dvving up thier pie and portioning it out to "everyone equally." The are lying devils that have unleashed a hellish mindset that rebellious and undisciplined minions are forcing on Americans through political meyhem, street violence, murderous coup attempts, and hedonistic practices.

Maybe I should just skip online surfing while sipping my morning joy juice, because the headlines are sucking the joy right out of my tasty delight:

In all my life - and I've been around for quite awhile - I have never seen a man hated so much - literally to the point of insane behavior: the underbelly riff-raff of people in America seem to worship barak hussein obama and elevate him to god status … while spewing hate & out-right violence on Donald J. Trump.

It's just pure demoniac driven wickedness.

It wouldn't bother me at all, if the ground was to open up and swallow every obamanite in sight … preferably starting with the obama's - all of them, most specifically barak - who is always flapping his yap and stirring the underbelly riff-raff up with muslim vitriol towards America & Americans in general, and poison-dart barbs aimed at President Trump, personally.

{{The event I mentioned concerns the Old Covenant accounting of Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their followers - rebelliously inciting & leading a challenging denouncement of Moses and Aaron’s leadership: “the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto them, and all their goods” (Numbers 16:32-33 KJV) "They went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them, causing them to perish from among the congregation." This divine disciplinary event also included their households and possessions, emphasizing the totality of the judgment. The event also highlights & illustrates the seriousness of defying Elohim’s commands; and the fallout consequences of challenging divinely appointed leaders. It also underscores the idea that rebellion against Elohim’s Will can lead to immediate and total destruction, serving as a warning to the community.}}

{{Secret Service reportedly takes down gunman outside White House after shots fired

The White House was placed on lockdown Saturday after shots were fired near the executive mansion, prompting a response from the U.S. Secret Service.

A male suspect, identified by multiple Fox News Digital sources as Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland, was fatally shot by U.S. Secret Service agents at about 6 p.m. ET Saturday after he allegedly opened fire with a pistol near a White House checkpoint.

President Donald Trump was unharmed inside the White House, and the gunman never breached the grounds' general perimeter.

An adult civilian bystander was shot during the gunfire exchange, and one U.S. Secret Service agent was taken to the hospital as a precaution.

Best had prior encounters with the U.S. Secret Service on at least two occasions in 2025, and a history of mental health issues, sources said. The FBI, ATF and Metropolitan Police Department are assisting with the ongoing investigation.

Sources said the suspect, who was shot by U.S. Secret Service agents, died on the way to GW Medical Center.

He allegedly had multiple prior encounters with the Secret Service and a history of mental health issues.

Best was detained by the Secret Service on June 26, 2025, for flagging down agents and making threats, and again on July 10, 2025, for entering a restricted area, Fox News has learned.

Finished reading that article, I tuned the world out & turned a blind eye to everything but watching a movie while we both finished our coffees & slowly woke all the way up.

Then we drove back into Castle Rock to get a few grocery items & enjoy a leisurely drive back home. We didn't plan on leaving the house again until after the Holiday - Holland's was wanting to avoid traffic snafu's … I'm okay with avoiding crowds of people.

Entering downtown Castle Rock, I asked Holland to let me off at the gravel dike trail a bit past the freeway off-ramp, saying I'd meet him at the store - a short walk away. I had mentioned this to him beforehand, so he wasn't surprised at the request.

I took my time walking because I wanted to enjoy the sunshine; and the store was not that far away.

I've always liked this small country town that reminds me of a Norman Rockwell picture. Strolling through it was very enjoyable. Holland is familiar with it to - when he was 14 years old, he once shared an apartment here with 2 of his older brothers before he left WA State to work in Louisiana (cowboy line rider & cow puncher), Texas (grounds guard for lineman machinery, All American Drywall for a hospital wing & oil field), Montana (oil field), North Dakota (oil field), & Oklahoma (oil field).

I saw him get out of the pickup as I was turning down the alley alongside the First Baptist Church - so, I picked up my speed and met him inside as he was walking through the veggies.

We gathered our food choices, payed & shifted them from cart to x4 cab … and I was off again, on foot - meeting him at the paved turnout where he'd let me out, earlier.

I moseyed along, taking my time; snapping pictures & vids. And he listened to his head throbbing hair bands, while keeping an eye on my progress, until I crested the hill.

I really like these apricot-hued, wild-looking, 5-petal rose climbers. Very appealing.
The pretty climbers were at the backside of the vintage jailhouse.

We got a Burger King supper on the way home & watched a big white butterfly flirt with Betsy's windshield - we'd seen these butterflies e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e. we'd gone during our day out … but I was so captivated by the size of it, darting about, that I never did get a picture of it.

Pale Swallowtails (internet picture) were seen everywhere, but I was captivated when they showed up, I always missed getting a picture.

Today was another good Day.

I could get used to this peaceful existence.

MOMENTS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING~Castle Rock History & Self-Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

Saturday, May 23rd: 80-degree sunshine 🌞 was on the weather docket, so … right away I got busy with a low-intensity workout 🧘: seriously. I didn't even drink my morning joy juice until the workout was completed ❌☕️ I wanted to stay faithful to the routine before the steaming humidity piggybacking on the welcome sunshine, wilted me.

The Darebee Early Bird Workout can be safe for a 69 year old woman to do, if started at the right difficulty level, done with proper form. This workout is a short, full-body routine designed to help you wake up your body early in the morning without overexerting yourself. Low to moderate intensity: These low‑impact bodyweight exercises, gentle cardio, and progressive strength work, can improve mobility, strength, and cardiovascular health without excessive joint stress; the flow keeps your heart rate up enough to feel energized but not so high that you’re exhausted. Purpose and Timing: It’s ideal if you’re up early enough to exercise but not yet ready to push hard and sweat heavily. Goal: Boost circulation, activate muscles, and set a positive tone for the day - without the burnout of a high-intensity workout. Full-body engagement: Works multiple muscle groups in sequence, promoting overall activation. Start low, go slow: Begin with the lowest difficulty level and gradually increase intensity as strength and endurance improve. Form over speed: Focus on correct posture and movement patterns to reduce injury.

Muscles Worked
Kneeling Leg Lift~Aim for 5 reps x2; Upward-Downward Dog~Aim for 4 reps x2; The Bridge~Aim for 5 reps x2; Flutter Kicks~Aim for 5 reps x2; Sitting Twists~Aim for 5 reps x2; Side Lying Leg Raises~Aim for 5 reps EA side x2

The Kneeling Leg Lift is a leg-strengthening exercise that can be safe for many older adults, but its suitability depends on your overall health, mobility, and any existing conditions. For seniors, leg strengthening exercises like seated leg lifts are recommended to reduce fall risk and improve independence; this exercise primarily works the quadriceps and hip flexors, which are important for balance, walking, and stair climbing. Risks to consider - Joint stress: Kneeling can place pressure on the knees, hips, and lower back. If you have arthritis, osteoporosis, or recent joint surgery, this may increase discomfort or injury risk. Balance challenges: Without a sturdy chair or wall nearby, the risk of losing balance and falling increases with age. Muscle strain: If performed too quickly or with poor form, it can cause strain in the hip flexors or lower back. Safety tips if you choose to do it: kneel on a cushioned surface with a chair or wall nearby for balance. Listen to your body: Avoid if kneeling feels uncomfortable or risky, if you have chronic joint pain, balance issues, or other health conditions. Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

Kneeling Leg Lift~Aim for 5 reps x2

Upward-Facing Dog is generally safe for a 69 year old woman to do, if performed with proper form, modifications, and awareness of her health status. These pose offers benefits like improved flexibility, strength, circulation, and breathing. However, they are backbends and require core, arm, and leg strength, so they may not be suitable for everyone. When It’s Generally Safe - Good mobility and strength: If she has adequate shoulder, arm, core, and leg strength, and can maintain a neutral spine, the poses can be done with minimal risk. Proper alignment: Engaging the core, keeping the lower back from arching excessively, and avoiding overstretching are key to safety. Breathe deeply: Avoid holding your breath; focus on steady, relaxed breathing. When to Avoid or Modify: Recent back injury or surgery: Backbends can strain the spine if not supported properly. Severe osteoporosis or balance issues - the unsupported position can increase fall risk. High blood pressure or dizziness: The backbend can temporarily raise blood pressure or cause lightheadedness. Stop if pain or discomfort occurs - especially in the neck, lower back, or joints.

Upward-Downward Dog~Aim for 4 reps x2

The Bridge exercise is generally safe for older adults, including women in their 60s and 70s, when performed with proper form and modifications. It’s a low-impact, floor-based movement that strengthens the core, glutes, hips, and lower back, that improves balance, stability, and mobility, reducing fall risk & supports daily activities like standing up from a chair, walking, and maintaining posture. How to Do It Safely: Keep your core tight and hips level - avoid arching your back. Engage glutes and abdominals; the lift should come from the hips, not the lower back. Breathe out as you lift, in as you lower. Modifications for Safety - Mini-bridge: Lift hips only halfway up. Supported bridge: Place a pillow under hips for comfort. Listen to your body: Avoid if you have recent lower back surgery, severe osteoporosis, or uncontrolled pain. Stop if you feel pain - it should feel like a muscle-building effort, not discomfort.

The Bridge~Aim for 5 reps x2

Flutter Kicks can be safe for a 69-year-old woman if done with proper form, at a comfortable pace, and with modifications to avoid strain. Flutter kicks engage the lower abs, hip flexors, and legs, improving core stability, posture, and circulation. Low-impact Functional advantages: Strengthening the core and hip stabilizers can help with balance and reduce fall risk. Adaptability: You can reduce the range of motion, or slow the movement to lower intensity. Engage your core: Pull your belly button toward your spine to protect the lower back. Control the movement: Keep kicks small and slow; avoid jerking or bouncing. Breathe steadily: Don’t hold your breath; exhale as you kick up. Listen to your body: Avoid if you have chronic lower back issues, recent injury or surgery, severe osteoporosis or joint instability. Stop if you feel pain: Discontinue if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, or instability.

Flutter Kicks~Aim for 5 reps x2

Seated Twists can be safe for a 69-year-old woman if performed correctly and with proper modifications. These are low-impact, chair-based exercises that help improve spinal mobility, relieve lower back tension, aid digestion, and support posture. Key Safety Considerations - Start gently: Avoid forcing the twist. A safe twist comes from the thoracic spine upward, not from torqueing the low back. Keep the pelvis neutral and sit bones grounded. Control the movement: Move slowly, using breath to guide the twist - inhale to lengthen the spine, exhale to rotate. Listen to your body: Avoid if you have recent back surgery, severe osteoporosis, heart conditions, or an unstable spine. Stop if you feel pain: Discontinue immediately if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, or discomfort in the back, neck, or joints.

Sitting Twists~Aim for 5 reps x2

Side-Lying Leg Raises can be safe for a 69-year-old woman if performed with proper technique, modifications, and awareness of her health status mobility. This exercise targets hip abductors, glutes, and core muscles, which are important for balance, stability, and mobility in older adults mobility. For seniors, it can help improve posture, reduce fall risk, and support daily activities like standing from a chair or climbing stairs. When done slowly and with control, it’s a low-impact way to build lower-body strength. Key safety considerations - Control the movement: Lift slowly, avoid jerking, and stop if you feel pain or discomfort. Modify as needed: If you have knee, hip, or back issues, reduce the range of motion. Listen to your body: Avoid if you have arthritis, osteoporosis, recent injuries, or balance concerns. Stop If you experience sharp pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.

Side Lying Leg Raises~Aim for 5 reps EA side x2

Sitting down to sip my deliciously hazelnut-flavored coffee 😊☕️, my eyebrows rose when a headline 🌐💻📝 passed before my eyes 👀

BREAKING: Ivanka Trump reportedly targeted in ASSASSINATION PLOT: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b49T1oYvtqM)

{{Ivanka Trump targeted for assassination by IRGC terrorist in twisted plot to avenge president taking out his mentor: sources

~Story by Isabel Vincent, Andy Tillett

First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.

Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.

The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.

“After Qasem was killed, he [Al-Saadi] went around telling people ‘we need to kill Ivanka to burn down the house of Trump the way he burned down our house,'” Entifadh Qanbar, a former deputy military attaché in the Iraqi embassy in Washington told The Post.

“We heard that he had a plan of Ivanka’s house in Florida,” Qanbar added. A second source also confirmed Al-Saadi’s plot to kill Ivanka.

Al-Saadi also posted a picture of a map showing the enclave in Florida where Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner have a $24 million home on X, alongside a chilling threat in Arabic which translates to: “I say to the Americans look at this picture and know that neither your palaces nor the Secret Service will protect you. We are currently in the stage of surveillance and analysis. I told you, our revenge is a matter of time.”

Al-Saadi is said to be a high-ranking figure in Iraq-Iran terror circles, arrested in Turkey on May 15 and extradited to the US where he is charged with 18 attacks and attempted attacks throughout Europe and the United States, per the Department of Justice.

He’s been behind attacks on US and Jewish targets including the firebombing of the Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam in March, the stabbing of two Jewish victims in London in April and a shooting at the US consulate building in Toronto, also in March, according to the DoJ.

He also “planned, coordinated” and allegedly took responsibility for attacks against Jewish people including the bombing of a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, the arson of a temple in Rotterdam in March, according to the feds, as well as various other foiled counter-attacks in the US in response to the current conflict in the Middle East. 

Ivanka, 44, converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2009 prior to her marriage to property magnate Kushner. The White House did not respond to The Post’s request for comment on the assassination plot.

Al-Saadi is said to be an operative of both Kata’ib Hizballah and Iran’s IRGC.

“Publicly available information shows that Mohammad Baqer was in contact and a close friend of …Qasem Soleimani and that in and of itself is a huge coup for any operative within the ranks of these militias, and on top of that he was then close to [Esmail] Qaani who replaced Soleimani,” said Elizabeth Tsurkov, a Senior Fellow at the Washington DC-based New Lines Institute who was kidnapped in Bagdad in 2023 and held hostage by Kata’ib Hezbollah for 903 days before her release in September 2025.

She said she did not know if Al-Saadi was one of her kidnappers as she only saw them masked.

Tsurkov told The Post Al-Saadi maintained a close relationship with Soleimani’s replacement, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, who continued to provide him with resources for his terror networks.

A lawyer for Al-Assadi did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

According to Qanbar, Al-Saadi was close to Soleimani, a major general in the IRGC and head of the elite Quds Force, and looked up to him as a father figure after the death of his own dad, Ahmad Kazemi, an Iranian brigadier general, in 2006.

Al-Saadi grew up in Baghdad, and was largely raised by his Iraqi mother, but was sent to Tehran to train with the IRGC, said Qanbar, now president of Future Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to strengthen alliances between the US and Iraqi Kurds.

Al-Saadi later established a travel agency, specializing in religious trips allowing him to travel around the world to “connect with terror cells,” Qanbar alleged to The Post.

When arrested in Turkey last week, Al-Saadi also had an Iraqi service passport, a special travel document issued to government employees and civil servants of that country, which can only be obtained with the consent of the Iraqi Prime Minister, Qanbar told The Post.

The passport allowed him to travel freely, go through minimal or no security checks at Iraqi airports and have access to a VIP airport lounge.

Although passport holders would still be required to go through security screenings elsewhere, Al-Saadi could easily obtain visas to the different countries where he allegedly planned terror attacks, he said. Al-Saadi was in transit to Russia when he was arrested, according to reports.

Surprisingly for an alleged prominent terror figure, Al-Saadi was very visible on social media. Posts show him standing next to tourist attractions including the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur as well as selfies kayaking and posing in front of a missile with his hand over his heart.

The federal indictment against Al-Saadi also includes photos of him consulting with Soleimani, at what appears to be a military facility, poring over maps and other equipment, which he had posted on his Snapchat account, according to the court documents.

In August, 2020, seven months after Soleimani was killed, Al-Saadi posted to his X account an image of Soleimani and another military figure killed in the same US drone strike held by a militant with an AK-47, captioned: “I will leave social media and turn off all my phones until the American enemy is defeated …victory or martyrdom,” according to federal court documents.

However, the social media blackout didn’t last long for the digital blabbermouth. In a 2025 post to his X account, which he described as his “last tweet,” Al-Saadi referred to Soleimani and other Iranian military leaders killed in US strikes as “martyrs.”

“I address you while in great shock and intense weakness, a feeling I have never experience in my life except once, at the martyrdom of …Qasem Soleimani,” he wrote, according to court documents.

Al-Saadi also targeted and threatened potential victims with Snapchat messages and social media posts, in many cases sending them a photograph of a pistol with a silencer, according to messages seen by The Post.

The suspected terrorist, who also allegedly has links to Lebanese paramilitary force Hezbollah, is currently in solitary confinement at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which houses other high-profile inmates like accused CEO shooter Luigi Mangione and captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

{{Texas Democrat Maureen Galindo pledges 'prison for American Zionists' if elected to U.S. House

~Snopes Fact Check: Published May 22, 2026


Claim: Maureen Galindo, a Texas Democratic congressional candidate, proposed turning an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center into a "prison for American Zionists" that would double as a "castration processing center" for pedophiles.

In May 2026, a claim (archived) circulated online that Maureen Galindo, a Texas Democratic congressional candidate, proposed turning an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center into a "prison for American Zionists" and use it as a "castration processing center" for pedophiles, who she said "will probably be most of the Zionists."

Examples of the rumor spread on X (archived), Instagram (archived), Bluesky (archived) and Reddit (archived). Snopes readers also searched our site for more information about the accusation.

The official campaign account for Galindo, who is running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in Texas' newly redrawn 35th district, posted (archived) a carousel of images to Instagram on May 13, 2026, one of which featured text that read:

When Maureen gets into Congress, she'll write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it's Zionists harming the Semites. She'll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking. (It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles which will probably be most of the Zionists).

Because the post appeared on a profile that represents Galindo and amounted to a campaign pledge in her name, we have rated the claim, that she proposed turning an ICE facility into a prison for "American Zionists" that would double as a "castration processing center," as true. 

Galindo has objected to the characterization of the plan as an "internment camp," as one popular X post described it. Over email, she said:

I never said I want Jews in internment camps. I said I want to close all ICE detention centers and put billionaire American Zionists [who fund the genocidal prison systems] involved in trafficking into prison. I also want to start a department to target pedophiles for castration.

She added, "I'm against all internment camps and would like to see them all shutdown ASAP."

Internment camps, unlike prisons, are generally built to house one specific group of people. The Nazi's concentration camps for Jews during World War II were a prominent example of internment camps. Prisons, on the other hand, generally house convicted criminals who have had their case heard in a court of law. Galindo specifically used the term "prison," rather than "internment camp," in her post. 

Despite heavy backlash after her May 13 post, Galindo posted an Instagram video (archived) on May 19 elaborating on her plan. She claimed she had received death threats after her initial remarks and repeated, "When I say that I want billionaire Zionists in prison that does not mean I want Jews in internment camps."

Galindo elaborated (time code 00:39):

I don't care what religion you are, if you are a Zionist, meaning that you believe that you are just entitled to land, or someone's just entitled to land based off of religious beliefs, and that you'll kill all of the Semites for it then yes, I think that you're a danger to humanity and belong in prison. Especially if you have the political and economic resources to make that happen and that's how we would — that's how we will get all of the billionaire Zionists in prison is through all of the business.

According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "Semite" is an obsolete term popularized in the 19th century that has historically been used to describe groups of people who speak Semitic languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, or who were Jewish, regardless of what language they spoke. It is unclear what group of people Galindo had in mind when she used the term.

The American Jewish Committee, an advocacy organization for the civil and religious rights of Jews, defines "Zionist" as "a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in its historic homeland of Israel."

Despite Galindo attempting to clarify that, in her opinion, Zionism is not connected to religion, she faced multiple accusations of antisemitism following her remarks. 

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Suzan DelBene, the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats to House seats, said in a joint statement that Galindo's language amounts to "antisemitic comments" that are "vile," "disqualifying" and have "no place in American politics, and certainly not in the Democratic Party."

Jeffries and DelBene accused "MAGA extremists" of attempting to prop up Galindo's campaign and also appeared to encourage Texans not to vote for her. 

Reporting by the Texas Tribune and Punchbowl News, a publication that reports on U.S. politics, suggests Lead Left, a political action committee that reportedly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising for Galindo's campaign, is linked to the Republican funding platform WinRed. Snopes has not independently verified these reports.

Galindo said via email that she had "no clue about the PAC" when asked if she received funding from Lead Left.

Texas Democrats also condemned Galindo's remarks as "antisemitism and hateful rhetoric." James Talarico, the Texas Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, reportedly told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency he would not campaign alongside Galindo should she win her runoff race and instead endorsed Galindo's party opponent Johnny Garcia, according to CNN.

Galindo led the Democratic primaries in Texas' 35th District, winning 29.2% of the vote, compared to Garcia's 27%. 

A runoff election on May 26 will determine whether Galindo or Garcia will represent the Democratic Party in Texas' 35th District in the Nov. 3, 2026, midterm elections.

I gotta tell you, I am really getting sick and tired of the hate 👹 the obama's 🤬🤥 whipped up during their 8 years of squatting in the White House - and the subsequent hate-filled years that followed, with continual American & Israel hate: those two are unrepentant devils 😈, &  they control the demonrat party 😵‍💫 And hakeem jeffries ins their poison-tongued DC imp 🥴 These wicked & high-minded tools are either too dim-witted to understand that what they say, whips loose-screwed people into a murderous lather … or that is their planned purpose for destruction. I find it very rich that the people screaming "MAGA nazi!" are the very people actually employing nazi tactics: wipe out the Jews, destroy America, punish Americans, and think castration will solve mind-sick sex fantasies - while promoting sexual perversion in schools, as young as kindergarten. These mindless talking heads 🤯🗣️ are ridiculous 😜🤪 in their rush to portray themselves gods with mandates to play god; and I pray to Elohim 🙏 that He slaps their mouths shut & removes them permanently (take the mic & limelight out of their sphere of existence) from the world scene 🌎🌍, where they will be forgotten - to do no more harm.

I was glad when Holland woke up: his presence lightened 🥰 the morning's heavy mood.

He's coming around 😉, after spending some time away & alone 🤔

And though this is not his own words … he has mimicked them since being back.

It is good to hear these words 😊

There is power in words 🩹💖

Saying words aloud starts the magical transformation 💝

I know he means every word 💞

I know the dark clouds hanging over his traumatized brain, will eventually lift. I'm fighting my own demons, too.

We're not gonna let this happen; we're in this thing, for the long haul.
It can be unsettling to experience, but I've dealt with unsettling all my Life: mother [1954 motorcycle accident brain damage], sister ramona [not sure why she's brain damaged, she's always been 'off'; she's just a mean-spirited bitch], 1st husband - periodically, due to his [1981 "dead 25 minutes"] brain damage, daughter [1978 vaccine fever spike-brain damage]… I'm familiar with all the nuances.
I know this is a weakness with me, so I'm working on me, too; My husband is patient with me when I'm "acting up" (his words) … I can bend for him, when he's feeling pressure. After all, I've been down this road before. Many times. Different people, pretty much the same scenario when the pressure is high.

Elohim brought us together for a reason. We can help each other; and perhaps in the helping, we can both heal before our lives are spent ❤️

We both know, and have said in unison: "We know God knows our future, so when we keep our eyes on Him & trust His outcome, we'll be okay." 🤝👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

After he finished his coffee, he said, "Let's go for a drive, Baby 🚘📸 The sun is out ☀️ and it feels like it's gonna be a good Day." So, that's what we did. But before we left the Park behind, I said, "Can we drive around the back end of the Park? There are a few Rhodie bushes I've been watching & waiting to bloom. I'm curious what colors they are." And, that's what happened. The colors really brightened up that dark edge of the Park.

And Azalea's showed prettily on the way out of the Park 🚘➡️

We didn't go far afield - just to the riverside in Castle Rock, where we watched people celebrating early, the upcoming holiday … and I learned some things I didn't know before today 🧐

Holland has told me that he and his younger brothers were in Montana working an oil rig, when Mt. St. Helen's blew her top. He told me about watching the ash fallout drop, there 👀 I don't know if he was back here when the river dredging took place … but if he was, he was no doubt watching from the opposite side of the river, on Camelot's shoreline trying to gauge 😒 how long it would be before the fish started running again - and he could get back to fishing 🤨 He tells me he was "a fishing fool" & listening to him talk when we're sitting by any river, I believe it 😂🤣

The Camelot Spur riverfront beach behind Camelot Mobile Home Park is a designated County Park. Always busy.
Holland told me this is a Dredging Bucket, used to remove volcanic ash from the river.
I stood on it's lip. This thing is huge; 16-inches above the top of my head - and [then some].
The back of it, is at my browline - I'm 5 ft. 1-inch tall.

Holland knows every inch of this river & it's surrounding banks - both sides: he's fished it every way possible. For decades. Before his work-related disability, that keeps him from doing most of what he loved to do. Now, he just watches the river from Betsy's cab … and I watch him struggle to come to terms with how much life changed for him that day he went to work - and left the job site a different man.

His worth as a man was wrapped up in machismo physical work 💪

He struggles mightily with the loss of work & being retired so early  😌

And when the darkness overwhelms him, I love harder 🤗

Because he is worthy 👌

And he's my man 💕: all man (sometimes maddeningly so 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️), regardless of a 9-5-365 ⏰ job.

Back home & relaxing after supper 🍽️, I checked FB 💻 to see how Emily & Andrew's pregnancy 👶 is coming along; and I spotted this posting on FB floating through my Feed, & thought, "Yep" -  I had said pretty much the same thing to just said Holland, while we were driving around earlier.

I do get excited over things most people wouldn't 😃

I am impulsive when something piques my interest 🧐👏

I do want to "go!" 🚘🗺️ when it's feasible … and possible ⛽️

I do these things because my time to live is limited 💥⏳, every breath I take 🌬️ is not a guarantee 🤞 - anything can steal it away in a heartbeat. Holland has seen this happen in real time; it's no fun for me, and it's pretty scary for him. So, I am [on] all the time because at any given second the switch could be flipped and I'll be [off] in less than a heartbeat (and quite possibly between my heart's sporadic skipping heart beats).

I live Life fully 🤘 With no apologies. Time flies & Life changes happen every second, of every Day. Time is precious.

I know excited impulsive activity can be overwhelming 😳 - but I don't want to miss a thing 🤓 in this, my only shot to live. Fully. Without apology.

We were just driving around 🚘👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 Talking. Not even sure how the topic came up … more than likely one of those impulsive Chatty Cathy moments 😘

Today was a good Day 👍

Tonight is a cozy 👌 peaceful ✌🏻 relaxation 💖 before turning in.

All is right 🎯 in our small corner of the world 🌎🌛🌟 & we are thankful for this blessing that is our Life 💞
