A House Divided

 Luke 11 verse 17 “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. “”

The fraudulent election has caused this country to be more divided than ever before and it will only get worse unless this is stopped. Please God send us a miracle and stop this fraudulent election before our country is destroyed. We need to save our country and our constitution, both of which are under attack.  

I am not a republican, so you cannot say that I am too far right. I am an independent and I look at what is best for America and her citizens, not what this side or that side thinks is best. What I see is a country that is spiraling downward because of hate that is fostered by the liberals who push their narrative through the liberal media that they have bought and paid for. I see anger that our rights are being infringed upon coming from the right who feel they are being suppressed and having their right to free speech taken away by the same liberal media who only tells one side of the story. I see liberals who are pushing to destroy the constitution and take away rights that have been guaranteed by it for over 200 years, with their lies. 

I have studied history and can attest to the fact that the demoncraps have done terrible things to minorities over the years and fought to suppress them as slave, with Jim Crow laws, and the KKK. I have studied history and know that the republicans are the reason the Civil Rights Act passed. “18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican senator... launched a filibuster to prevent its passage, Said Russell: “We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states.” Strong opposing to the bill also came from Senator Storm Thurmond (D-SC): “This so called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capital Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise, and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress.” (Wikipedia)  Yet they left call the right racist, I think they have that backwards.

Today I read that 46 of the 58 counties of California want to form their own state to escape the insanity of the governor of the state.  I also read that Texas wants to secede from the union and I can totally understand their reasoning. 

This entire plandemic has been about control and the loss of rights that are guaranteed by our constitution, which they want destroyed. They will be mandating vaccines that are dangerous in my opinion because they are not fully tested and we do not know the long term effects of them, next. 

We cannot stand by and let this happen. It is time for Americans to stand up for our rights and for our freedoms. We need to stand up for our police who are there to protect us and not suppress their ability to do their jobs like the demoncrap liberals in congress, ANtifa, and BLM are demanding. 

Their so called mostly peaceful protests were RIOTS, and they should be in jail for the destruction they caused. The money raised by the BLM should be confiscated and distributed to those who lost their businesses because of the destruction they caused. 

The only way to stop this is to demand a new election with photo ID and in person voting. The mail in voting was a fraud. I can testify to this because my absentee ballot, that I requested with my signature witnessed,  was never received or maybe I should say never recorded. It was mailed at the same time and place as my husbands and hand stamped. Three weeks after the fact it was still not received, so I went and voted in person after confirming that as of 4:00 on Election Day it was still not received. 

We must stand together and stop the swearing in of the frauds who were not elected legally and morally. 

We stood by and suffered 8 years of destruction of the country under Ovomit and now we will see four more years of destruction under Bi-dumb. American can not stand up to this continual terroristic attacks by those who are out to destroy out country.

Those who drank the KoolAid are going to be surprised when they see this country fall under the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist. 

The demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist only want to rob and steal money from hardworking Americans. They will raise our taxes to the point we will all be in the poor house and it will happen slowly and slyly because they are evil. Look are the past records of unprecedented spending by the government and you will see that it skyrockets under the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist on wasteful things that will not help us as citizens of this once great country. 

Yes, I voted for President Trump in this election, but not in the last election. I did not vote for him because I like him. Personally he is very rough, pompous, definitely not politically correct, and not the kind of person I would choose as a friend. I voted for him because of all he has done for this country and the citizens of America. He worked hard for this country and its citizens and for other countries like Israel.  He increased our country’s economic status, and lowered unemployment for all Americas. He helped to broker four peace treaties for Israel. He helped out black colleges, brought jobs back to America and increased our manufacturing. He donated his salary to help out veterans, as well as doing other things to help our veterans whom we need to support before we even think about supporting illegals. President Trump so too many things to help and support our country for me to list, much more than any president in the last 30 years, in my opinion. He did this all while fighting the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist and their lies and false attacks on him.

Our veterans signed their lives away on the dotted line and they need to be taken care of first and foremost. I personally think that congress should be paid the same as an E3 and housed in barracks with chow hall food since they don’t really do anything for us except cost us more money and give themselves raises. They should also have the same insurance plan as the military. 

Open you eyes people congress is getting rich off your hard earned money and robbing you of your benefits of working because they over tax us. Taxes should be 10% or 15% across the board with no loopholes of deductions. You make a dime you pay a penny, you make a dollar you pay a dime, etc... It does not matter if you are on welfare or working as a CEO you pay the same percent and you do not get anything back. Fairest way to make sure every one pays equally based on their salary.  The same can be applied to businesses and it would be a lot simpler to file your taxes.

Welfare and food stamps need to be revised also. Welfare should send a check to your landlord and then pay you the rest, that would make sure you had a roof over your head. There should be a limit of two kids and if you have more then you I figure it out. There are people on welfare who keep having kids because then get more money, not cool. Food stamps should be computerized for certain food items, healthy food like fruits, veggies, hamburger, not be used to buy junk food like soda and chips. There should be a set number of each item per month and you can pick it up at a specific location each week. Then we would not need to worry about kids whose parents are not feeding them because they are selling their food stamps for alcohol and drugs. Also to get welfare and food stamps people should have to have monthly drug tests for all members of a household over the age of 12 or 16 and there should be a work component or education component tied into it. This would solve a ton of problems and get more people off the government dole. Welfare was not set up to support people for generations, it was set up to help people for a short period of time so there should be a life time limit of one year for welfare. There can be a longer time for food stamps but if we set a limit and help people get the skills they need for a job that will help get them off welfare and make them productive members of society. I mean they can be trained to fix an engine or to work in an office. There are a multitude of jobs out there they could be trained for so they can get off welfare. 

Bi-dumb and his sidekick Harassment want to take away our gun rights, and our freedom of speech and suppress our ability to express our own opinions. They are the Hitlers of today.  If you truly listen to what the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist governors and leaders say when they speak you will see that they are the Nazi’s of today. Their goal is to wipe out Christians and destroy the constitution and this country. They are in league with the devil and those who are pushing for a one world global economy and a cashless society. They want us all to have the mark of the beast to be able to shop or travel. 

I pray I am wrong, but with the huge divide in this country that was started by Ovomit and that has been pushed by the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist  I see a civil war coming and it will not be a good one. We need to do something to fix this country and we need to do it now or we will not have a country as the demoncrap liberal far left socialistic communist will either turn us into another Venezuela or a war will destroy us. We cannot allow our country to fall to the socialistic communist that are trying to take over.

Thinking about the destruction that the demoncrats have pushed on our country

 This has been an interesting year to say the least. I has been surreal and I am sure if 2021 will be any better with pedophile Joe as president. I pray that God is working to save our country from the destruction that the democrats have planned for us. 

President Trump did so much good for this country with all his work to break us free of the horrid things left in Ovomit’s wake and the ties to China. His goal of putting America first was a good one and we have escaped from many things that were suppressing our people and tying us to the global one world government hell that Ovomit tried to bury us under. 

President Trump did many things that no other president has done. He brought peace treaties to Israel between them and middle eastern countries that have hated the Jewish people for centuries not once but at least four times. 

President Trump stabilized our economy and out our country financially and our unemployment was lower that it has been in years. Covid, which was due to the Chinese and the democrats conspiring to destroy America put a few bumps in the road, but we are still better off than we were under Ovomit.  Ovomit and Fauci funded the research that paid for the coronavirus, though others may disagree, my research shows it is true.

I pray our country can survive the next four years under demonic rule. May God have mercy on our country and protect us from Satan.  

Americans need to wake up and come home to Jesus, he will protect us and guide us.  Jesus is our savior.

Spiced Tuscan White Bean Soup

 

2 cans cannelloni beans

3 carrots, diced

1 stick of celery, diced

1 TBS olive oil

1 yellow onion, diced

4 cloves garlic minced

2 - 3 medium potatoes cut into 1/2” cubes. 

4 large leaders of kale remove stem and chop or tear up. (Optional)

2 boxes vegetable broth (you can use chicken broth if you prefer)

2+ tsps Italian Seasoning

2+ tsps  Rosemary

1 tsp basil

1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes, more if you like it spicier or sriracha 

Ground Black Pepper to taste

Drain and rinse beans.  Sauté half the carrots, the celery and onions in a TBS olive oil.  Add the beans and one box of broth.  Cook 15 minutes.

Reserve 3/4 c of beans mixture. Put the rest of the bean mixture in the blender and purée along with the garlic, Italian Seasoning, Rosemary, and Red Pepper Flakes. Return the bean purée to the pan, add the reserved beans, carrots, potato, and kale if using. Season with pepper and eat simmer until vegetables are tender. 

Puréeing the beans makes the soup thicker.  We like it spicier so I add more red pepper.  The soup is good with bread or garlic bread.

SPICY VEGETABLE SOUP BROTH

This is great for colds, or as a base to add for other soups. It freezes well.

1 large onion diced

 2 large carrots diced

Several slices of jalapeno (the number will depend on how spicy it is.)

1 inch of ginger peeled and chopped or the equivalent of powdered ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp oregano

black pepper to taste

dash of cayenne

2 boxes of vegetable broth

4-6 large cloves of garlic cut into pieces. (DO NOT add until you puree.)

Saute onions and add other ingredients, except the garlic, and about 1/2 of one box of broth. Simmer until the carrots are mushy tender.

Put it all in the blender, add the garlic and puree. Add more broth as needed to make it liquid so it will puree well.

Return to the pan and add the rest of the broth.

Let simmer for about one hour and serve.

The leftovers go well in a vegetable broth-based onion soup.

STOUP

I have a nice part of stoup simmering on the stove. Stoup is a really thick vegetable soup that’s more like a stew. It’s a soup stew.

I chop and sauté a large yellow onion. (You can use oil. I have waterless cookware so I don’t.)

4 chopped and one shredded carrots

1 shredded large parsnip

1 shredded Small zucchini

5 cloves of garlic minced (we love garlic! You can use less)

3-4 (fist sized) Yukon gold  or any white potatoes cut up

3 small orange sweet potatoes/ yams cut up

1 TBS of Thyme

Pepper to taste

1 1/2  - 32 oz boxes of vegetable broth (I subbed in one of my 2 cup Tupperware containers of my spicy soup broth which I make and freeze.) The recipe can be found here.

I usually purée some of the zucchini and parsnips and onions with the garlic  in a little bit of the broth to make it a little thicker before I add the potatoes. You can add other vegetables as you see fit the last time I made it I used cauliflower and I skipped the parsnips since I didn’t have one. I’ve also made it with turnips. And you can add pumpkin if you want. I really like the combination of the sweet potatoes and the regular potatoes. You can also variate by adding different colored carrots.

10 Year Anniversary of My Second Life

Today is the ten year anniversary of my second life. In 2010 I was diagnosed with a heart defect that I did not know I had until then I was 51 years old and in heart failure through no fault of my own. I am celebrating what I consider my other birthday, the birthday of my second chance at life. I am very happy that God gave me  a second chance at life and the I have gotten the time with my friends and family. I was so exhausted at that time that I could not make it through a week of work. I was taking every Wednesday off to sleep, so I could finish the week at school.  We went to Seattle for a second opinion and were gone for over a month. They would not let me fly home. The choice was surgery a week from the day I saw the cardiologist at the University of Washington, the Wednesday or Friday after that. We took the first date.

I reread the posts I wrote in 2010 after I had my surgery and all the emotions, thoughts, fears, and the idea that could die came rushing back to me.  I do not remember most of the time in the hospital because of all the drugs they had me one. I spent most of that time sleeping.  The last thing I remember before the surgery was the anesthiologist assistant telling me that he was giving me a shot to help me relax.

I remember Tom being surprised that my feet were warm for the first time in forever. I also remember the wonderful young lady who was my nurse’s aide, and the torturous physical therapist who made me climb the stairs before I was allowed to be discharged.

The nurses loved my darling husband as everyday he brought me a rose.

I feel I am blessed to have a second change at life and I try to live each day to the fullest and look at life as an adventure. I have tried many new things since my surgery including ziplining, which I love. I feel that God gave me a second chance at life because he had.a reason for me to still be here. I hope that I am fulfilling his wish for my life and I am grateful fo this second chance.

Today I am celebrating the ten years that I have lived since my open heart surgery and looking forward to another ten years.

Coronavirus

Do I know what I am about to tell you is a fact? Can I prove it to be fact? The answer to both questions is no. I do not know if it is and I cannot at this point in time prove that it is, but it is my story.

In January my husband and I returned from a cruise to the Caribbean. We arrived home on Sunday, January 5th very late at night after an extremely long day full of layovers, the longest in LA, over 6 six hours due to mechanical issues with the plane. He thinks we picked up the virus in LA, I said maybe it came from the ship, there was a lady who had a cough which she referred to as cabin cough and people from China on the ship, neither of us know for sure, but by the end of the week we were both sick. 

We both had coughs, and were running fevers, his was worse than mine, and he has an autoimmune disorder. I on the other hand have asthma and high blood pressure along with a few other issues.  We both spent the weekend resting and he did something he never does, he spent most of the weekend in bed, resting, sleeping, and just being sick. The second week after our return we were both run down, coughing, and feeling exhausted and in need of more rest than normal. We came home from work and basically just were done for the day.  Along with the cough that lasted two months and probably a few days more we both experienced shortness of breath. I actually went to see the doctor, who said I had a VIRUS! He said to continue what I was doing it would go away on its own, as my lungs were clear, though I was coughing up some stuff, not a lot.

I had already seen the allergist who told me to up my inhaler and add in the extra one I use when my allergies are really bad. My rescue inhaler was not really doing a lot at that point. 

After two months of being sick we are both doing much better, but in the interim this whole coronavirus thing has exploded around the world and we joke that we already have had it, but we also wonder if that is the truth. I mean when we look at the symptoms we had and review people we were around on the cruise and in the long layover in LA, along with the fact that it was roughly depending on if you look at the cruise or LA anywhere from 5 to 19 days from exposure to our developing symptoms.  

Could we both have had the virus or was it just a cold or flu bug that we picked up while traveling? We do not know.

On the other hand my youngest son was seriously ill for a couple weeks in November and they were not sure if it was the flu or pneumonia, He too had all the symptoms of the Coronavirus, is that what he had or was it pneumonia? I doubt we will ever know. 

My point in telling this story is that the virus has probably been around a lot longer than most of us realize. I have heard that it started in China in September, but have not had the information confirmed. It could have started anywhere and only made the news when it reached such epic proportions and more people started to die.  We may never know, but I do know that washing our hands and avoiding large crowds seems to be one way to slow the spread and I for one am doing this. If I have had it already, great maybe that means I am immune. If I have not had I prefer not to get it and will take all necessary precautions, but I will not panic and freak out like many appear to be doing because I am of the believe that whatever will be will be, and it is in God’s hands. 

I wish you all health and pray you are taking precautions and staying safe.
