It’s time for someone to say it, just in case anyone is unsure. Charlie Kirk is dead. There. I said it. It’s horrible what happened to him and hopefully, his murderer will see justice. The reason I’m saying this now is from shear exhaustion from seeing all of the posts abut him or his widow. I don’t care about what Erika is doing or might do and I’m vertain that Charlie is not looking down on us from heaven.

Like many, I’ve been wondering if and when the U.S. (and Israel) will finish this war with Iran. Yes, it is (or at least was) a war and now, for several weeks, there’s been a ceasefire (of sorts) and a least an attempt to negotiate a peace in the region. Everyday, reporters question members of the administration as to the status of the negotiations and well, it’s becoming clear to anyone still paying attention that the Iranians appear to be giving us the finger (or whatever they do in Iran). So why is Trump being so patient with the situation as it stands?

I used to be very pro State of Israel, and to some extent, I still believe tha my early support was not unfounded. My support had nothing to do with holocaust surivors, but more of a people who have, for centuries, undergone egregious persecution in western countries, and that today, they have their own country, even though they have to constantly fight to keep it theirs.

I see Christians in my X timeline all the time. Some of them are cordial, others are well, the “hell and damnation” types that want to warn everyone that unless we all follow their god, their way, well, we will not have a happy afterlife. If you believe in that nonsense to begin with, then you might take a breath and consider changing your entire life to live by a philosophy that out of 270 million that identify as Christian in the United States, only about 5% of those are considered active in their belief. They must be the ones I see on X(probably not).

Some years back, I had a colleague at work I really liked. He was generally a nice person, always seemed to have a smile on his face, and was one of the best people on my team. Oh, did I forget to mention, I was his supervisor? Well, we still got along as he was one of the few people on my team (of 16) that I didn’t have to supervise/; I’d give him some task(s) to complete and presto! he’d get everything done almost always without having to need my or anyone else’s help. If he did need help, he wasn’t too ashamed to ask for it. I mean, when they say 20% do the work? He was one of those 20%.
