Smorgasbord 3 Prophecy & Poverty

You know, it’s funny. When I started writing the first Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories, I wasn’t sure what it would lead to or where it would take me. The interesting thing is that I never stopped writing.

Even with a full time job and keeping up with this blog, I still found time to write. As soon as my first manuscript was accepted into publication, I began working on the second. Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up & Relish was released almost one week ago, and I’m about half way done with the 3rd book.

This has been quite a journey that honestly, I wanted to share with my readers. There’s a natural progression in this series of books, and I don’t know if Smorgasbord 3 is going to be the last, but wherever we do end up, I’m sure it will be special.

🌑: Tomorrow is the first day of April, and there will be a brand-new moon in Aries. Aries is a fire sign, and don’t forget, the sun is in Aries right now as well. With both luminaries in the astrological sign of Aries, we get in a sense, a double flame. If there was ever a good time to plan a trip, or start something new, this is it.

💲: Are you wondering what caused the drop in oil prices? They’re saying the Biden administration plans to release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the country’s reserves for the next six months. That’ll do it.

😲: In an article published on the Daily Caller dot com, it was revealed that the skeletal remains of a young man were finally found after four years. Police believe those remains belonged to Jason Michael, who died in 2018. Supposedly, the boy’s father has been storing his body in the kitchen of his home for the las four years. The strange thing about this, well besides the obvious, is that it took place New Boston, Texas, and somehow, it’s connected to a case where six people were found dead in a home in Wisconsin. What’s the connection? I guess we’ll have to follow that story and see what develops.

🛸: NUFORC is back in business! Yes, the National UFO Reporting Center updated their site on Friday, March 4, 2022, to include over 1,000 new postings that took place between December 19, 2021, and March 3rd of this year.

America Wins With DeSantis

In a hot article just published on the Blaze dot com, Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis demonstrates his competence as Governor and his responsibility for carrying out the will of the people.

For his decision to sign the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, DeSantis was criticized by Disney, an the target of an irrational rant that didn’t even make sense by Chasten Buttigieg (husband of Pete Buttigieg) on Twitter.

Let’s start with the Tweet.

Every LGBTQ student, teacher, parent, nurse, astronaut, mechanic, soldier, etc in Florida is still LGBTQ. The governor can sign a bill making it illegal to acknowledge their existence, but he can’t make them disappear with a pen. Love will always win, friends. Onward.

Chasten Buttigieg (Twitter)

The Governor did not sign a bill making it illegal to acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ members. Buttigieg’s Tweet is really an over-the-top reaction to a provision in the bill that has nothing to do with the LGBTQ community and everything to do with parents protecting their children from what they feel is inappropriate for them at their ages between Kindergarten and 3rd grade.

The Provision:

Prohibits teaching children about gender identity or sexual orientation in kindergarten through third grade: “Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” 

And now Disney (the Company)?..

Disney also lashed out by declaring that it will push for a recently approved piece of legislation to either be repealed by the state legislature or rejected by the courts.

DeSantis, at this point, made it known that Disney had crossed the line with this statement.

And the Governor responds..

“This state is governed by the interests of the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of California corporate executives. They do not run this state. They do not control this state,”

Ron DeSantis

The state of Florida is governed by the interests of the people, and is not based on the demands of California corporate executives. This is where Ron DeSantis wins. That’s what our democratically elected officials are supposed to do; represent the will of the people.

I applaud DeSantis for not only demonstrating what it truly means to be a Governor of a state in this country, but for standing up to that new threat America is facing right now.

The people in Florida have spoken, and the parents of students have spoken. They want their young children protected. What’s wrong with that? Again, I repeat, what’s wrong with that?

I agree with the provision in the bill, and I can’t even believe it would be challenged in the way it has.

I mean Buttigieg is using love in his Tweet, “Love will always win,” and you have to understand, these are the kinds of over-the-top and non-sensical statements we’ll see from people who:

  1. are trying keep the country divided
  2. promote a loose interpretation of the Constitution
  3. would rather have our elected officials carry out the demands of private interest groups instead of the will of the people

Again we see that new threat the America people are facing, Fascism. (Government/Corporations) (Buttigieg/Disney)

This is a win for Ron DeSantis.

This is a win for the state of Florida.

This is win for the Floridian people.

This is a win for America!

We the People

Dear American citizens:

I’m writing to you because of the recent federal civil rights lawsuit filed against several of our democratically elected leaders from the state of California.

Emails released to the public through the Freedom of Information Act, revealed corruption within our government. Alex Padilla, who is now a United States Senator, conspired with SKDK, a democratic political consulting firm and Twitter, to permanently suspend users on Twitter’s private social media platform who directly opposed and criticized Padilla’s efforts conducting elections.

We must wake up to the severity of this situation. The government is not allowed to censor speech. This overreach is an infringement on our rights covered under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

You must wake up to the fact that our Constitutional Republic has degenerated into a Democracy (rule by majority). America is not a Democracy.

We are being robbed of our birthright, which secures a certain quality of life to us as American citizens. It is now time for We the People to rally around the one thing we all have in common, and that which ultimately unites us, the truth that we’re all Americans.

It is now time to reestablish and revive our Constitutional Republic. We can do that if we remind our democratically elected leaders of their obligations to the U.S. Constitution. Our Constitutional Republic is the only form of government capable of promoting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and it is the only form of government designed to deal with the diversity our nation has.

Please stay open minded, and strive for independent thinking. Corruption hides behind democrat and republican. Corruption hides behind liberal and conservative. Extreme right is not good because it promotes anarchy, and extreme left is not good because it leads to tyranny. We should be somewhere near the middle.

If our democratically elected leaders violate their oath to uphold, defend, and protect the Constitution, then we should push for their immediate removal from office.

We cannot have people in government who act as if they’re above the law.

Padilla,Twitter Named in Lawsuit for Censoring Speech

I’ve been sharing with you the fact that we’re sliding too far left on the political spectrum, and Fascism is now a real problem in this country.

That means government, our democratically elected leaders are teaming up with private corporations to rule and suppress the American people. It’s happening, its been happening, and it’s not bullshit.

Recently, we’ve seen the political main-stream narrative pushing for the American people to support and embrace Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

And I couldn’t understand why because just two months before their war with Russia began, Zelenskyy was being accused of silencing political opposition. That means one way communication, it’s his way or no way. Why would we support this?

Well, on behalf of Rogan O’Handley, The Center for American Liberty in conjunction with the Dhillon Law Group, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against:

  1. Former California Secretary of State and NOW U.S. SENATOR ALEX PADILLA
  2. Current California SoS SHIRLEY WEBER
  3. TWITTER
  4. TEAM BIDEN CAMPAIGN CONSULTANTS SKDK

and others, because the STATE of CALIFORNIA was coordinating with TWITTER to permanently suspend Rogan O’Handley, a conservative commentator and attorney.

They were caught through emails released by the Freedom of Information Act. Emails showed California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (NEGLECTING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES TO UPHOLD, DEFEND, AND PROTECT THE U.S. CONSTITUTION) coordinating with SKDK, a Democratic political consulting firm. PADILLA was using SKDK as his strong arm to permanently suspend TWITTER users who were critical of his job in conducting elections!

It’s time for the American People to wake up. C’mon. We have way more power than our government is leading us to believe. They work for us! They are robbing us of our birthright as American citizens. Our government is not a Democracy. It’s a Constitutional Republic that has degenerated into a Democracy because of our elected official’s greed for power.

The government can’t censor speech!

I hope and pray, this case will be the spring board for corralling corrupt government officials who purposely neglect their responsibilities by refusing adherence to the U.S. Constitution.

There will be ZERO tolerance for our democratically elected officials who breech their contract (U.S. Constitution) with the American people.

Second House

Amongst other things, I’ve always considered astrology to be an art, and the astrologer, an artist. It’s a possibility that if you had your chart interpreted by five astrologers, you might end up with five different interpretations.

And this speaks to my reasoning for considering astrology to be an art. Art is an expression of the individual; a creative uniqueness. Every astrologer, at some point, should develop their own unique style or way of interpreting the symbolism in a chart. And that’s what makes him/her an artist.

I wouldn’t consider myself to be an astrologer at this point, but rather more of a student. So, I brought material from several sources together to compare their second house descriptions. Most sources say the second house is the house of possessions, however, one said it was the house of value, esteem, and self-worth.

In a broad sense, possessions can relate to anything we own or acquire. Money is highly stressed here also because in today’s modern society, money is one of the most important possessions we can have. As they say, you can’t wear it or eat it, but it has potential and can convert to other things.

The second house might show activities or projects that can be a source of income. We own our feelings and emotions, so they’re considered to be inner possessions. What does money mean to us? Do we care about having it? Does it matter how much we have? Are we motivated to earn it, and how do we go about that?

♉

I think it’s a good idea to consider the sign Taurus because Taurus rules the second house, and Venus because Venus rules Taurus and is home in the second house.

When I see the “bull” that represents Taurus, it reminds me of Wall Street, and Wall St. relates to the Stock Exchange and money. Venus is the planet of love and beauty. With the involvement of Venus, we can see how emotions and feelings come into play here. There is an emotional attachment to certain personal possessions.

Now, keep in mind, the second house, like the other eleven houses, represents the area in our life certain energies will play out, which is dependent upon planets and their relationships to one another.

Taurus is a fixed earth sign, and the sun makes its way through there between April 20th and May 20th.

$17 Billion Spent on Student Loan Debt

Well, in a nutshell, the article is saying despite President Biden covering $17 billion in student loan debts, it hasn’t really helped him politically. $17 billion is a lot of money, and it wiped the slate clean for a lot of people-so what’s the issue?

I don’t have the answer to that question, but I’m one of the students who hasn’t benefited from his Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, so maybe there’s quite a few people in the same boat.

I graduated college in 2003, and I’m still paying my loan back. My loan was originally with a company (ACS) that went out of business, but eventually, it was picked up by another.

For some reason my loan doesn’t qualify, but I wish it did. $10,000 of debt relief could really help. I think what President Biden did was really generous, and the young people who just got a college education for free should be thanking him.

Maybe, if it’s possible, he could check and see what loans aren’t qualifying for his program. I think he would get that political win he’s looking for if he starts helping the right people. That group of adults between 40 and 50-years-old who are trying to live with a nagging college debt from 20 years ago would sure be grateful and appreciative of that help.
