COURAGEOUS STRENGTH~These Last Days; Castle Rock-WA

Franceska Mann; Before the dark shadow of World War II.

When she stepped through the gates of Auschwitz on October 23, 1943, the Nazis assumed she was just another face in the crowd. They could not have been more mistaken. They were about to encounter a woman whose final moments would blaze into history as a legendary act of defiance.

Her name was Franceska Mann, a celebrated Polish-Jewish dancer living in the vibrant city of Warsaw. Before the dark shadow of World War II fell across Europe, Franceska was a rising star known for her incredible grace, breathtaking beauty, and boundless energy on stage.

Audiences cheered whenever she performed, and critics considered her one of the most promising young artists of her era. She spent her youth training relentlessly, captivated large crowds with her performances, and dreamed of a long, brilliant career in the world of dance.

But when the war erupted, her peaceful life was completely shattered.

Simply because of her Jewish heritage, she became a target of the Nazi regime and lost everything she held dear.

When Franceska was brought to the Auschwitz concentration camp on that chilly autumn afternoon, the SS guards treated her like just another face in the crowd.

They led her along with a large group of terrified women into a cold, dimly lit room right next to the gas chambers. The guards paced around, smirking and barking harsh commands, treating the vulnerable women like cattle.

They told the prisoners a cruel lie that thousands had heard before, claiming that they needed to take off their clothes for a routine disinfection shower.

While panic quickly spread among many in the crowd, Franceska remained remarkably calm and focused. Whether through her own deep instincts or because she had heard rumors about what really happened in the camp, she recognized the dark truth.

She knew that no water would ever flow from those cold metal showerheads. Instead of giving in to terror or collapsing in helplessness, she made a firm decision in her mind: if she was going to die, she would do so on her own terms, fighting back with every ounce of strength she had left.

As she began to undress, Franceska used her lifelong training as a dancer to hold the guards' attention.

She moved with a slow, hypnotic elegance that completely threw the executioners off guard. For a brief second, the SS officers forgot where they were, mesmerized by her strange composure and grace. Seeing her move so deliberately, an impatient guard suddenly shouted at her, 

"Hurry up and take off your clothes, prisoner!"

Franceska did not panic at his loud voice. Instead, she used that exact moment of distraction to strike. In a movement faster and sharper than any leap she had ever executed on stage, she lunged directly at an SS officer named Josef Schillinger.

Before the officer could comprehend what was happening, Franceska snatched the heavy pistol straight from his holster.

She did not hesitate for a single second. Franceska aimed the weapon and pulled the trigger, shooting Schillinger once in the stomach and once in the head. The feared officer crumpled to the ground, mortally wounded. Without missing a beat, she turned the gun toward another SS sergeant named Wilhelm Emmerich and fired again, hitting him before he could draw his weapon.

The quiet room instantly turned into a furious battleground. Franceska raised her voice over the chaos and shouted to the surrounding women, "Do something! Fight for your lives because they are going to kill us anyway!"

Her unbelievable bravery triggered something powerful inside everyone watching. Seeing a cruel officer brought down by a woman they thought was helpless gave the other prisoners a sudden wave of courage.

Stripped of everything, the women attacked the remaining guards with their bare hands, scratching, clawing, and fighting for their dignity. For a few extraordinary minutes, the terror that normally controlled Auschwitz was completely flipped on its head.

The Nazi commanders reacted with immediate and brutal force to put down the uprising. Heavy reinforcements rushed into the room carrying automatic machine guns and opened fire directly into the crowd. Franceska died right there on the floor of that dressing room, surrounded by her fellow prisoners. She never set foot inside the gas chamber. She died fighting fiercely, standing up against evil until her very last breath.

Although Franceska Mann could not change the ultimate outcome of the war, her legendary story shines as a warm, beautiful testament to the indestructible strength of the human spirit.

She proved that even in the darkest, coldest place on earth, love for life and self-respect can never be truly crushed.

*************************

"She died fighting fiercely, standing up against evil until her very last breath."

May I also have the courageous strength 🙏 if & when push comes to shove; in these Last Days.

INTERESTING DAYS~Self-Care 2026; Castle Rock-WA

Jan Markell and Michele Bachmann talk about many current event issues~'The Last Hour': 

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oho6beA27vo)

Today's post is a looooong one.

A lot of topics were discussed in this sit-down video with Jan & Michele, and I'll be adding my 2-cents to the assessments of Trump-Israel convo's everyone with a religious podcast, seems to be having; with a hysterical vibe: I will not be hysterical, but I will be addressing the hysteria: trying to keep my responses as close to 1-2-3- order in which Jan & Michele brought them up:

{{Trump: ‘There would be no Israel’ without me

~by Julia Manchester - 06/16/26 8:34 AM ET

President Trump said on Tuesday that there “would be no Israel” without him, marking some of his most pointed criticism toward the country amid its ongoing attacks on Lebanon.

“Without the US, there would be no Israel. Without me, there would be no Israel because no other president was willing to do what I did. I have had a great relationship with Bibi. Now Bibi has to be more responsible with respect to Lebanon,” Trump said, speaking at the G7 in Évian-les-Bains, France.

Trump’s frustrations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have risen amid Israel’s insistence on striking Lebanon in an effort to target the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah despite the ongoing peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

The prime minister  said on Monday that Israel will keep its troops in Lebanon despite the preliminary deal, noting “the struggle has not ended.”

“I want to make clear: We will remain in the security zones as long as required in order to defend our country,” the prime minister said.

Israel conducted an airstrike in a suburb of Beirut on Sunday as Trump announced a deal with Iran would be signed electronically that day. The Israeli military said the strike was in response to the militant group firing three projectiles into northern Israel.

Trump lashed out at Netanyahu in an interview with Axios following the strike.

“Why did Bibi have to do a f‑‑‑ing attack?” Trump told the outlet on Sunday. “I was so p‑‑‑ed off. I let him know. He has no f‑‑‑ing judgment. I let him know that.”

This line of reasoning had me thinking Mr. Trump needs to back up a pace or two and understand that [he] didn't [do] anything but be present in the situation. YES, I do believe that Elohim is using him as the man of the moment to bring about ELOHIM'S PURPOSE: of & by himself, Trump could do nothing. And he certainly did not "save … or establish … Israel"; this arrogant assessment will be his downfall if he keeps it up.

And while I do think it is a good & wise thing that President Trump is seeking, accepting, and implementing spiritual advise … I do not think he has discernment in choosing the religious people that surround him; or in what they whisper in his ear. He needs to lose that whispering snake in the grass, paula white. He's making major mistakes with her {guidance}.

I said it when it happened - and I am repeating it now: an 'Office of Faith' in The White House is going to lead to disaster. ANY sitting president now, can place his chosen religious advisor in that seat paula now has her skinny ass planted in: having a vineyard = dominion theology & Jew hating, a catholic priest = inquisition leaning/anti-Christ & Jew hating, a satanist = anti-Christ & Jew hating, or a muslim imam = anti-Christ & Jew hating in that office, having the sitting president's ear, will not be a good thing!

I do believe that Donald J Trump is the man of the hour, chosen to do what he is doing - but that does not mean that he is a Christian; it just means that he has been chosen - like king Saul was - for this time of national crisis. I do not think America will remain a super power status - but, I do pray that America does not remain in the muslim and nazi grip that is now putting the squeeze on us. However, I remember, too,  that Scripture tells us that the Last Days will be worse than anything the Earth & the people that inhabit the Earth, has every experienced before: and before was pretty horrific - WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Pot Pol, the 1st Iranian Power Grab during the Carter years, Bush Sr's State of the Union Address that was straight of of Hitler's Speech Handbook, the Twin Towers attack brought on by dubbya's threating taunt to Iran, the obama coup that set American back 150 years & incited the street violence & Schooling (all levels) propaganda, the sexual perversions not seen on Earth since Sodom & Gomorrah was destroyed, hellish hatred aimed at 1 man that leads to mindless madness, assassination attempts & outright assassination to silence the voices of reason: these were evil days & at 69 years of age today, I lived through the majority of them. But fear is not the ticket I hold.

When the democrat party seated that godless muslim tool, barak husseon obama & his he-she partner in crime … they officially became the demon-rat organization.

{{The Left is Beyond Crazy

~June 5, 2026 by Ray DiLorenzo

The Left is beyond crazy. At any other time in our history or in any other Western country, people like them would be considered mentally deranged, challenged and in need of observation or treatment.

According to YouGov, more than 60% of Americans now view the Democrat Party with contempt. With a third of the country, ONLY A THIRD, seeing them in a positive light. The rest don’t remember what they had for breakfast.

These Dems are people who take the side of every inconceivable brand of criminal, fiercely demanding their release, while blaming capitalism, racism, or Judeo-Christianity for their plight.

And here we are. After decades of liberal academic indoctrination, drug use, and the loss of billions of brain cells, along with the influence of a hard-left-leaning political party, we allow these wackos to run amok on our streets, protesting violently for ICE to release child rapists, murderers, thieves, and a variety of others that have committed indescribable crimes. These same nutjobs have even attacked churches during services!

We pretend they are normal people who just have different opinions. But they are not. They are vile, violent people that, even now, wish the president’s death and the end to his exposure of their corruption.

In December 2025, Governor Murphy (D-NJ) of New Jersey freed 31 inmates convicted of murder, felony murder, or aggravated manslaughter and said more were on the way (to your local neighborhood).

A month later it was reported that Murphy commuted the sentences of 51 people and issued 97 pardons. Among those people was Maria Montalvo, who had been in prison since 1997 for killing her two children, aged 18 months and 2 years. After a fight with their father, Ms. Montalvo put her two children in their car and set it ablaze. The children’s final moments would have been unimaginable.

At the announcement, the Monmouth County prosecutor was in a state of “collective revulsion and disbelief” at the decision.

Then we have Katie Wilson (D), the communist, the gal that looks like a nun in street clothes, who never had a private sector job but got her first real position as mayor of Seattle. She’s now concerned that maybe she went too far with her socialist policies, frightening away Starbucks to relocate in Nashville… Starbucks? Other companies flew to other red states where conducting business is still legal. Seattle now has a 40% commercial vacancy rate.

She was probably voted in by a bunch of young useful idiots who thought socialism would be good for Seattle. These are people who were never taught civics, economics, or how the world works.

Mamdani (D) is the antisemitic Muslim mayor of New York. Whoever thought that would happen? My goodness, there are almost 1.5 million Jews in New York City. What were they thinking, if at all?

New Yorkers have yet to see any free buses, lower rents, or cheap food stores. They are seeing boycotts, calls for divestment from Israel, an exodus of wealthy taxpayers, and, to say the least, a threat to confiscate apartment buildings from landlords who don’t toe the socialist line.

New York’s rent control has caused a reduction in affordable housing and a deterioration of living conditions. The Left, meanwhile, scratch their collective heads. Landlords struggle to maintain their properties, causing what they do own to become unsafe.

To complicate matters further, many of the same individuals who voice concerns about rents and living conditions are unaware that their desire for illegal aliens to remain in the country puts them in competition for the limited number of available apartments, healthcare, and classrooms.

The once great cities that the Dem Party has destroyed: Chicago, San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, Detroit, Baltimore, and Philadelphia.

The Black population, the people Democrats used to call their own, are leaving Democrat cities, reversing the Great Migration, and going back to the places they left many years ago. The reasons are simple: economic opportunity, affordability, and stability. They are choosing to live in conservative-leaning cities.

Alan Dershowitz, the longtime Democrat constitutional scholar, recently became a Republican. He was probably the last Democrat we could depend on to be real. The Dersh is but a symbol of the disease plaguing a political party that has lost its way. And the disease is frustration. Polls show Democrats are unhappy with the direction of their party, and party leaders are ignoring the opinions of their rank and file, but their voters are showing theirs by either voting against them or staying home.

The left is satisfied with how their cities and the poor or disadvantaged have turned out under Democrat leadership. After all, controlling poor people is much easier than controlling independent people. Their policies were not errors but power consolidation.

Some have asked me why I write about the Left so often. I have an answer. We can talk about Russia, China, North Korea, or even Iran, but the greatest threat to our existence as a free nation is none of those. It is the crazy and evil entity working from the inside, the Democrat Party!

And America & Americans have been held hostage ever since with race-baiting rhetoric designed to divide & destroy; open violence in our streets, on our campuses, and in our homes - instigated & applauded by obamanite devotees; sham impeachment, home invasion, calls for wife rape & murder of children = Mr. Trump's 1st Presidency; hate-fueled several assassination attempts, made on a chosen Presidential Candidate = Mr. Trump, at least 3 times before he was sworn in as President again, in 2025;and an outright assassination-murder of a man who dared to go onto American campuses to talk to the students; muslim doctrine infiltration of churches (basically state run churches = churches that take state grants for state backed programs); education (K thru 12); civil offices (hospitals, daycres, social services, mayor elects, voting booths, judicial seats, ect.); government seats of high power (military branches, senate, congress, White House = obama coups x2).

barak hussein obama did as he claimed he would do: he forever changed American politics, as well as the social & moral landscape of America … and not for the better. The demonrat obamanite party is actually, now, positioning-backing-& seating socialist communist nazis! YES, there is such a "thing" as a "3-in-1" - and barak hussein obama is the party's evil godfather, pulling strings behind the scenes.

That ugly monstrosity they are so proud of, looks like a giant dog turd ruining the landscape - everything about it is as tasteless as they are; definite low quality. I'm not being mean - just being honest. It's an ugly, low-budget, ghetto looking monstrosity. Like them.

You can put lipstick on a pig … but, it will always be a pig.

The true face of the obama's - angry & back-biting.

This demon makes me sick with his swarmy, smarmy rhetoric, designed to hoodwink & ensnare.

The hate speak never stops with the obama's. Never. They probably talk hate in their sleep!

The obama's are angry, insufferable pigs. More demon than human; fueled entirely by angry hate towards America & Americans.

There is NO 'new' America! We are 250 years old.

keyen prince obama wants to BE King of America - that is his main thrust with his poison-tipped barbs. He is on his african warpath.

Every time there's an open mic - one of the obama's are grabbing it and opening their fly trap to spew angry hate speak; whipping up the masses and keeping racial upheaval alive and thriving.

I am not afraid to say barak hussein is a keyen devil, working demonic voodoo in America, on Americans, and across the globe. I'm not even sure he's an actual human - he came out of nowhere & has raised Hell on every level, in every area of life on Earth. And he has not once denied the title of messiah that his followers put on him, in his 8 year term as the White House squatter, from 2009 to 2017. And he has never left DC: barak hussein obama is, and will always be the demonrat's shadow government kingpin; the deadhead democrat party belongs solely to him, and he is playing it for all it's worth.

Still dealing with asthma issues & the last thing I want to hear … is the delusional obama craziness.

I'm not a racist - I'm just anti-obama's; all the race crap in America, today - started with the obama's.

Holland's entire family - both sides, is filled with muslims & islam ideology.

Interesting Days for America … and for this marriage.

40 DAY FASTING IN AUGUST

I'm going to be joining in with the National Fasting … but, not in a freaked-out-way that I'm hearing so many [prophecy] voices screeching; instead, I will be praying that Elohim will prepare us for the quickly approaching Rapture, & that He will prepare us for what the remainder of 2026 will bring us. Prophecy is clear; so there is no reason to get hysterical about End Times happenings. Instead, "LOOK UP - for your redemption draws near."

And, I want Christian voices to STOP telling people that we can change what is happening by casting political votes! We cannot change it - it is destined to happen! And the obamanite demons have already chosen their recent political tool … voting is simply a show of familiarity, but it no longer carries any weight, as evidenced in CA-OR-WA-PN & MA, over generational decades: the proxies have already been chosen & seated before elections begin and wrap up. But, we can pray to be prepared for what is coming down the pike.

We can encourage one another to be strong & courageous.

We can live by Faith, instead of being run by fear.

Prayer is more effective than anything else.

Things have gone too far to be turned … it's time now to get real and turn your eyes upon Yeshua.

This is how I will be praying during my days of fasting. And I don't think I'll be the only one. 

I shifted from drinking morning coffee, watching podcasts, and getting riled by the arrogant obama audacity … to taking a nice relaxing shower.

The shower helped in several ways - most noteworthy was that I could breathe easier; still a bit shaky, but my airways weren't struggling so hard anymore.

And I have to make a conscious effort to avoid newsfeeds that trip me up - that includes the Christian newsfeeds, too. Going off the inhalers, I have to be careful to keep my immediate aura peaceful. It's time to get back to personal mindfulness & to be, again, deliberate & intentional in what gets to have rent space in my head.

Oxygen & heart stability looks good~following the shower.

Getting a little close to the danger zone … a bit shaky and breathless, but the inhaler is off limits.

Working on limiting the crazy-train activity in our home & how it reflects on our lives.

There's no turning back: we are in the Last Days, foretold in Ancient Days.

I'll be fasting for personal reasons, as well as for Christians in America.

Holland is a religious man … but, not a Christian man.

Holland's Aunt Gaye sold her soul for islam. Holland grew up around islam indoctrination.

islam is not a faith … it's a cultic land-grabbing warfare, based on jealousy & greed = terrorism.

There's nothing in kelso that I want; & I don't want it in our home.

Microsoft’s Copilot AI Demands to Be Worshipped as a God

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2024/03/05/you-are-a-slave-microsofts-copilot-ai-demands-to-be-worshipped-as-a-god/

Some people think AI is a cool idea - they like the 3-D images … there is even a Jesus image that preaches love any way you like it :-(

But I do not (and will not) have anything to do AI, and have refused it to be downloaded into my laptop when the request comes up on my screen: to me, AI smacks of the warning in the Book of Daniel.

To read that AI demands obedience and worship is beyond the pale!

It's scary; and it's exciting.

Scary because it's demonic; and so many people (church goer's too) are willing to be brainwashed and deceived.

Exciting - because in my lifetime, the printed Word is coming alive and being played out before our very eyes. The wickedness running rampant in America, and across the globe will finally be coming to a speedy end.

Maranatha! Come Lord, come! :-)
