At this point, I believe an apology is warranted from the POTUS for assuring the public that the vaccines were safe. VAERS data (U.S. only) contain over one million reports associated with COVID-19 vaccines as of March '26. Its fair to note that VAERS reports aren't verified to prove that the vaccine caused injuries.
People placed their trust in public health officials because they were afraid and wanted to protect themselves and their families. My heart goes out to those who believe they were harmed, those who continue to struggle with health issues, and the families of those who lost their lives. Regardless of one's views on the vaccines, their suffering deserves compassion, acknowledgment, and honest examination. Not one politician should be proud of the warp speed achievement.
I am so glad you said this.
I've been reading through the comments and kept thinking, I hope he receives Christian ministry while in prison. I saw a video of his mother, and her words were quite telling. It seems this young man's mind was deeply influenced and led astray.
My prayer is that his eyes, mind, and heart are turned toward the Lord. And that he apologize and ask humbly to be forgiven. At this point, only the Lord can truly save him.
This was a terrible series of actions, not only by him but also by those who influenced and mentored him. It appears to have been a preventable tragedy. I take no joy in vengeance. There are lawful consequences for our actions. Such a senseless crime. It is a tragedy for the victims, their families, and everyone affected.
I have questions, hear me out... I'm about to resurrect a subject that has gotten a lot of attention. Perhaps too much.
In 2023, Fruit of the Loom denied that a cornucopia was ever part of its logo. The debate surrounding that logo became one of the most famous examples of the "Mandela Effect." Incidentally, I recall hearing reports of Nelson Mandela's death back around 1983 or 1984, so I understand why people were confused when he actually died in 2013. But I digress.
Back to Fruit of the Loom. Why would they deny the cornucopia that so many of us remember being in the logo? And clothing with the cornucopia logo is on the tag and is found in many homes.
Was this denial by FOTL just for fun? A bit of clever PR? Or is there another explanation?
Why do I care? Because I just had a discussion with my son, who flat-out told me I'm misremembering it.
To be fair, I can remember things from as far back as being in a crib. Yep, that's true. But don't ask me what I said or did five minutes ago, that memory is foggy at best.
So, what do you think? Are we misremembering, or is there a reason so many of us remember the same cornucopia that supposedly never existed? Even
Chat GPT said there is no credible evidence, even though I uploaded screenshot of the tags.

There are roughly 2 billion Muslims in the world.
Imagine, for a moment, that just 0.2% of them were Jihadist Islamists. That would amount to about
4 million people.
The concern is not that they would seek to assimilate into the cultures of the countries where they live, but rather that they would seek to advance a caliphate based on their ideological beliefs.
Even a very small percentage of a very large population can represent a significant risk on society.
We wonder why this is an acceptable risk, put on us by Politicians. What makes them the arbiter of truth?
Mutt bees may do well for us. I see they adapt better to local conditions and have a greater genetic diversity. Right around the time I messaged you he was already getting busy for bees. I guess we had a mud bee/butterfly house in our storage and he hung on the side of our garage near the raised beds. I forgot we even had it. He was like,
come check this out. I guess we may be getting closer to making it happen sooner than later.
If I could give advice to my younger self, it would be this:
don't become complacent with people or situations that repeatedly let you down because of someone else's selfishness. Be brave enough to make difficult choices when you know something isn't right, and trust that quiet, persistent voice inside you that is trying to point you in the right direction. Value yourself enough to recognize when your kindness is being taken for granted, and don't be afraid to set boundaries or walk away when necessary. Life is too short to keep making excuses for those who consistently put their own interests ahead of others.
Awww, he is such a good boy. ❤️
It's heartwarming to see rescue animals find loving homes. Moments like this remind us that there are compassionate people in the world who open their hearts to animals in need, helping to make up for the heartbreak caused by those who abandon their pets without a second thought.
That is so awesome to see.
I have a bobcat on my property.
He has been coming closer to the house. Ive been thinking feeding him to get him to feel more comfortable and less hungry for my hens - which he cant get to. He is around because we have deer and wild turkeys. But the turkeys seem comfortable when he shows up.
Yesterday my husband yesterday started a discussion about 🐝🐝
Interesting timing😉
I told him about your offer for advice. He said, "Oh yeah?" Then he said he's been looking at various bees and haven't decided which type." He said possibly Mason bees to pollinate our fruit trees. We also discussed Western honey bees. And he said that on what he read that two hives for honey and two houses for mason.
Any feedback is appreciated. I think its on the to do list, but as mentioned earlier we have so many projects and not enough time in a day...but to encourage him with information would be appreciated.
Thank you for offering advice
All of my cats were once feral, I’ve had five over the years. I believe your kitten found you! She looks just like my Sugar Baby did 16 years ago. I came across a feral colony, and she chose me. We went home together, and I immediately scheduled an appointment with my cousin, who is a veterinarian.
Sometimes it seems like they know exactly who they're meant to find. 🐾💕
