I'm having bariatric surgery next week and trying to prevent from becoming homeless.

My health condition started with a rare lung disease called Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. Cysts filled my lungs, I was on oxygen, and didn't have the lung function to be able to move much. I gained a lot of weight and now I have been diagnosed with Lipedema. Lipedema is a painful fat disorder. It's not really my fault I am like this. I am explaining this because someone from DU who I will not call out here.. posted on my facebook that I should get a job and stop begging for money. I thought I do owe people a more detailed explanation of what is going on in my life, no matter how embarrassing it is.

I'm having Duodenal Switch Procedures - SADI-S surgery a week from today on 7/21/22. I'm 7 days into my fat free milk diet. I can having nothing but fat-free milk for 14 days to shrink my liver for a safer surgery. Because I also have Lipedema, there will have to be more surgeries in the future to get rid of the remaining painful fat.

On top of the health issues, being on the brink of homelessness, my son who just lost his step father, Tommy has been disowned by his bio dad and bio family. Tommy came into my life when my son was 4, Tommy was his dad, they were close. My son is gay. It's not a big deal to me and wasn't to Tommy but his bio father is Egyptian and Muslim. My son's father snooped in his laptop while my son was visiting him. That whole side of the family instantly disowned him. He is devastated. We're going through a lot. I thought I needed to explain more of what is happening after getting told to get job and stop begging. I promise you, this is not easy. I don't want to ask. It's a lot easier to try and deal with this now than later if I have an eviction on my record. If you have a little extra, please help me. I do genuinely appreciate all the help I get.

P.S please forgive my grammar. I'm not a good writer.

Activist who attempted to carry out the assassination of a Jewish candidate back in custody.

Could the feds be looking a hate crime charges? Why would the feds take over this case? Brown attended a recruiting event days before the shooting at Greenberg’s campaign headquarters for the Louisville chapter of the Lion of Judah.

Snip from The Daily Beast. ~ Brown’s more recent social media posts, particularly the accounts associated with his campaign for a seat in the Louisville Metro Council, show an increasing interest in Black nationalist and pan-Africanist leaders. He frequently posted photos and quotes of the Black Panthers, Stokely Carmichael, George Jackson, and late Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah.

“We have one scientific and correct solution, Pan-Africanism: the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism,” his Twitter bio reads.~

If Belarus joins Russia

Is there anything we can do? Are we just going to let it go? So Russia can get help from another country but Ukraine can't? Is there anything USA can do?

Creepy, scary situation. Former Rep Matt Shea is in Poland to adopt 60 Ukrainian children

Snip: Former Washington state Rep. Matt Shea, the far-right Republican who was found by a House-commissioned investigation to have planned and participated in domestic terrorism, is in a small town in Poland with more than 60 Ukrainian children, trying to facilitate their adoption in America Shea has said his group helped rescue 62 children and their two adult caregivers from an orphanage in Mariupol, the city in southeastern Ukraine that has been bombarded by Russian forces.

Snip: Ziarnicka, the mayoral aide, said she first went to check on the children after she was contacted by a group of local volunteers who were concerned about the situation. When she talked with Shea, she said he “got really angry,” refused to tell her his last name and asked to see her ID. “I said ‘You are American on Polish ground, why should I show you my document?'” Ziarnicka said. “I just want to talk to people who have the legal right to these children.”

Shea told her that he’d spoken with the mayor, Ziarnicka said, and that everything was OK.

“And I know it’s not true because the mayor is the one that asked me to go,” she said.

Another local volunteer, who asked to remain anonymous because she was targeted and harassed when she previously spoke publicly about the situation, said they tried to find documentation supporting the claims of Shea’s group, but found none.

“Whenever anyone wants to speak with Ukrainian supervisors or spend time with the kids, they need to have permission from those Americans, which is really weird,” she said.



Snip: Shea, who represented Spokane Valley in the state House for 12 years, opted not to seek reelection in 2020, after the House-commissioned report found he had planned and participated in domestic terrorism against the United States with his involvement in a trio of standoffs against the government.

That report alleged that Shea assisted “in the planning and preparation” of the 2016 armed takeover at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon. It also examined Shea’s travel to the 2014 armed standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, and a 2015 conflict in Bonner County, Idaho.

Following the report, Shea was suspended by the House Republican caucus, and urged to resign, although they declined to expel him from the Legislature.

It looks like out NATO allies are doing more than we are

As far a sanctions are concerned. They are restricting airspace, have agreed to ban the us of SWIFT and we have not announced those yet. Why? Biden must have a reason. That said, no one could have brought our allies together the way Biden has.

Are there any sanctions on energy?

Are we still buying from Russia? I haven't heard any mention of sanctions on buying oil.

Jim Bob Duggar running for Arkansas Senate.

The GOP sure has a lot of Pedophiles and their sympathizers.

He made the reveal on the Duggar family’s official Facebook page. Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years (1999-2002), a run that came six years before starring on the TLC hit from 2008-2015.

“I am honored to announce my candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7. Northwest Arkansas is my lifelong home. It’s where my wife, Michelle, and I have raised our 20 children,” the 56-year-old wrote. “It’s where we’ve grown our small businesses. It’s where we’ve built a life centered around our faith, family, and friends.”

Neither progressives, moderates or Biden are to blame here.

If we're honest and not trying to poke each other with fake outrage all of us would say this is the Fault of Manchin and Sinema. They're not moderates, they have no ideology. They've been corrupted by $$. It's as simple as that. Let's stop beating each other up with bullshit we know is not true. We do not have a mandate! The VP is the Senate tie breaker and Biden can not legally out bribe dark money interest pouring in to two Senators.

No US media covered the women's march?

They just want to talk about Democrats in disarray but silent on women marching who are on our side. https://twitter.com/donwinslow/status/1444431090492448769
