"We're not building for peacetime. We are pivoting the Pentagon and our industrial base to a wartime footing." - War Secretary Pete Hegseth https://x.com/afshinrattansi/status/1987178190117200280 This is from November 8th and I had not seen anything regarding it. Not sure if everyone else saw this or if it also didn't generate in your social media feeds.
"The Blessed Mother keeps saying that when the Pope dies the Church will be projected into a dense darkness and it's going to be a great confusion, where people will be dropping out of the Church," said Father Roux of St. Francis, Maine. "There is a man of inequity who is supposed to be entering the Church. To me that is the anti-christ and his false prophet, and my understanding is that the false prophet will be a false pope who will empty the Church of her spirituality and her doctrine, and will create the abomination of desolation by declaring that the Gospels are not historical and that the divinity of Christ is questionable and the Eucharist is just a symbol. Then he's going to raise the anti-christ, which is going to happen before Jesus's return."
However, the US no longer has an industrial base. It is dependent on Chinese components for many of the mostly inappropriate weapons it still produces. Hegseth's boss, Trump, recently advocated for battleships, a weapon that was obsolete by the end of the First World War. I think they're insane.
Yeah, who knows how it will play out. Nothing is obvious currently IMO and the economy is getting worse by the day. It seems like the US wants Russia to invade Europe by its continued self-imposed degeneration. "Oh no! the economy is bad, we can't help you Europe. Good Luck!"
O Lord have mercy on PF's family; to be without a refrigerator is extremely difficult. May the food they do have not spoil, and may nearby friends help out!
When confronted by PF's scenario, Geralyn is relentless: she simply repeatedly speaks into the phone, "Put me through to a representative, pause, put me through to a representative...". I dare say, I can't recall a time when she has ever hit double figures before an actual person gets on and resolves the issue.. Perhaps Geralyn has never spoken with "Samantha"!
You know, that has always worked for me too! But not this time. They actually trained this "Samantha" to have a tone and tell me there are no associates I can speak with, and if I don't want to talk with "her," she'll end the phone call.
