Here is what our cottage looked like last year in late autumn. This year we have only two sections of picket fencing up, and the ramp from the side door is going up to the front door. We are mostly parking in the front yard, too. But soon. In about 6 weeks the construction should be done. Will everything be finished? No. Our portion of the house will still need siding, and new windows. But work has been slow. So we wait.
Now to the information for the week.
This just in -
I'm not surprised. She never should have stayed in office the last several years. Especially with a Dem governor who would have appointed another Dem to her seat. Newsom says he will appoint a black woman to her seat. (she would have been up for reelection in 2024) I wonder if it will be Michelle Obama? Many think it will be. They own property in CA and can claim citizenship so she could serve as Senator. Some think she'll do this and then replace JB on the presidential ticket.
Newsom wants to run for president, but his record in California is abysmal, so I don't think he'd get the job. Another interesting thing is that Adam Schiff is running for DiFi's senate seat. So whoever replaces her until the 2024 election will be temporary or there'll be quite a fight among CA dems.
DiFi was very corrupt, had a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years.
From wikipedia - On July 27, 2018, reports surfaced that a Chinese staff member who worked for 20 years as Feinstein's personal driver, gofer and liaison to the Asian-American community was caught reporting to China's Ministry of State Security
You can read more {here} from CBS.
Former FBI agent and KPIX 5 security analyst Jeff Harp said he was not surprised.
"Think about Diane Feinstein and what she had access to," said Harp. "One, she had access to the Chinese community here in San Francisco; great amount of political influence. Two, correct me if I'm wrong, Dianne Feinstein still has very close ties to the intelligence committees there in Washington, D.C."
They know what they've done to Trump without any truth behind the claims. I believe however that when these deep state people are dealt with it will be with real crimes that they have done.
They also said they were looking into the Ukrainian soldier from WWII who fought with the Nazi. Remember the one the Canadian Parliament stood and applauded when Zelensky was in the chamber? The incident that Trudeau won't apologize for but keeps turning the conversation to Russian disinformation?
Friends, I hope you are preparing the best you can for upcoming chaos and disorder. It's going to be scary, they'll even use nukes if they have too. Let's not live in fear. Let's trust God and live our lives to help others.
In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. ‘How are we to live in an atomic age?’ I am tempted to reply: ‘Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat at night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented… It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.
What the atomic bomb has really done is to remind us forcibly of the sort of world we are living in and which, during the prosperous period before, we were beginning to forget. And this reminder is, so far as it goes, a good thing. We have been waked from a pretty dream, and now we can begin to talk about realities.
It is our business to live by our own law not by fears: to follow, in private or in public life, the law of love and temperance even when they seem to be suicidal, and not the law of competition and grab, even when they seem to be necessary to our own survival. For it is part of our spiritual law never to put survival first: not even the survival of our species. We must resolutely train ourselves to feel that the survival of Man on this Earth, much more of our own nation or culture or class, is not worth having unless it can be had by honorable and merciful means.
Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs. Those who care for something else more than civilization are the only people by whom civilization is at all likely to be preserved. Those who want Heaven most have served Earth best. Those who love man less than God do most for man.
