This sounds just like Seattle. 🥹

I am intrigued by your nickname. Have you read any of my "Living Behind Enemy Lines" tales? Would you like to provide a tale? Check out this one: https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/living-behind-enemy-lines-tale-4

I will check it out, thanks. I am native to Seattle, so I refuse to accept this city as the end game. I KNOW what it was. And I’m a true optimist, at times. And then I drive through my city & I don’t recognize it at all. Graffiti, tents, garbage, and boarded up buildings that were once bustling with happy people. According to an article I recently found on NewsBreak, Seattle is one of the rudest cities in the nation. 🤗 When did that happen? I live 30 min. south of downtown & I’m nice.

My 80 yr.old father lives with us & he is still very conservative. He doesn’t “ pretend” to be anything else, but he has learned to pick his battles in mixed company. I do the same I guess? People just don’t talk about politics that much anymore and it’s a shame. Religion, politics, and sex right? Shhhh!

We probably need to bring all 3 back, and discuss loud and proud. By not discussing, we have seen God disappear from our homes & Sunday plans, accepted liberal policies without questioning, and allowed every sexual identity & binary fluid flow into our public schools. Maybe we should talk more.

Nobody wants to offend anyone , so people stay quiet & just accept outcomes. That’s ridiculous. Having said that, I admit that I’ve been “ suspended” 3-4 times from the app

NextDoor. Apparently their San Francisco based corporate “ user guidelines” don’t like dissenting voices. If I just wrote that last sentence as a reply to someone today, I’m sure they would suspend me again. 😂 It’s pretty entertaining but also extremely sad to see companies that can manipulate approved narratives so efficiently. They tell me I was “ flagged” for offending, or for misinformation, but never elaborate more than that. They don’t even tell you what specifically was offensive or against guidelines.

It’s a strange world we live in but my heels are dug in and I’m not budging. I was here first. Not until the fake military tries to move us into 15 min. ( jails) surveillance cities, at least. I will not comply. All cities, I think?, in the west coast, including Hawaii, have comprehensive 2030 future goals that have been, and continue to be legislated without voter approval. More & more is being done “behind the green mask” of climate change.

( also a great book by Rosa Koire)

We all need to push back hard on this. I’m currently livid about Lahaina, and also the fake Covid shots being approved without any testing of humans. Approved for babies 6 months old! Sorry, I’m all over the place today. That’s my style. 🤪🚧 I’m getting emails out to anyone that will listen. I’m basically a 56 yr. old grandma with a lot of fight still in me. I love God, family, & what our flag stands for. I’m trying not to hate Fauci & Gates, & the rest of the corporate cowards.

While He was being crucified, “Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing'” (Luke 23:34). The declaration of their need for forgiveness makes it clear that they were guilty, despite their ignorance.

Jan: We did not want to leave the dream house we had built in 1988, BUT, in hindsight we are SO GLAD we did! Even the beautiful burb we lived in is declining rapidly, completely taken over by nasty Marxists.

Are there any normal people left in Portland? I wonder!

Yes, there are. I know 2, maybe 4 people. They are good people too. I’m not sure how they deal with this so well. I know they like to drink wine a lot. 😳 Hmmm...
