They say knowledge is power. I do know that knowledge gives you the power to make the choices you need to make when considering whether to give or accept consent,
knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom. Every great advance in natural knowledge has involved the absolute rejection of authority. He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.

Trump petitioned the supreme court to rule that as president or ex president he has absolute immunity from prosecution for his role in the Jan 6 debacle. If he looses, {as usual}, he'll stand trial, but if the supreme court agrees with him then, he's free an clear. Here's the catch 22 to trumps reasoning. He isn't president and if the supreme court gives the president absolute power to manipulate elections biden may well just cancel the 2024 election and the U.S. will have its first king.

A pinch of soul, with a whole lot of sass . . A sprinkle of naughty an just enough class . . The strength of a warrior and a go-to-hell glare . . A past that's not perfect, because life isn't fair . . A sailors mouth with a heart full of love . .

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the .
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

It's been sixteen days and the republicans in congress refuse to support an insurrectionist for speaker of the house. They are receiving death threats but standing up for the Democracy.
