#poem #WorldPoetryDay At a reef point winds whispered, colors unseen in a sky so low, waves moving at a pace cleansing my heavy clouds, warmth foreign to me formed a blanket around my soul.
Like a orphan my wanderlust found a home, a resting place. Old thoughts a blur and wounds starting to mend~hard to look backwards, walking into unknown territory. Pouring tears on the river's banks rushing into heaven's courts falling naked, heart bowed...
I was consumed, fire to burn away the infusion of scars so deep as the ocean's floors I began to rise. Emptiness in this solace of rejection, seeking love, bathed in my Creators waters the end of the war became clear.

1) New day #QDrop... #Qanon post No. 2745... @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @POTUS
#Q links to #FoxNews & says "Buckle up!". It's looking good for a D5 info drop on the others that met secretly to plot against #POTUS with the use of a 25th Amendment scam.

2) Stepping back 4 an interesting footnote re: #QAnon post No. 2744...
When the verse numbers are totaled, they equal 55:17. If you've been watching #QDrops or any time you know the significance of 5 x5 & the number 17😉
3) #QAnon post No. 2746...
#LisaPage was removed from the #SC on 15th July 2017. July 21, 2017, The #Mooch was appointed #WHCommunicationsDirector. He began work on 25th July 2017 & was fired on the 31st. It's clear [5:5] that #Scaramucchi was a hired (& disposable) gun. Most all

We need to place gender essentialism (the notion that women's oppression is innate and natural) in a wider context - a long lasting global recession with deep political and economic uncertainty and pain.
History teaches us that most authoritarian regimes begin by deceiving people that they are left wing or progressive. History shows us that totalitarianism utilises student groups to gain power. See my thread on this:
Authoritarianism usually starts with trying to control women. As Valerie M. Hudson argues 'it’s vital to remember that for most of human history, leaders & their male subjects forged a social contract: “Men agreed to be ruled by other men in return for all men ruling over women.”

Today’s train is filled with old people who have a lot of complaints about problems they are making for themselves. I haven’t read any of my book because they are providing such amazing entertainment.

First, we have Madame Seat-Hopper. I knew we were in for fun during boarding, when she said “oh, I don’t like this seat. I’ll just sit over there” and picked a different one. She had to move when the seat-owner arrived two minutes later. Harrumphing ensued —
“Why don’t YOU just pick a different seat?” she challenged the ticket holder. Ticket holder stared her down until she got up and chose another different seat.

First stop, new people board. She’s in their group seat for their family of four. She harrumphs and chooses another.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

Today's print column is on cord-cutting: Actually, America, you love bundling. washingtonpost.com/opinions/you-t…

As usual, I'm answering the question's I've gotten.
First question: why do cable networks play games with the pricing, giving you teaser rates and then continually jacking up the cost?

This question isn't really on point., but I'm answering it because the answer is related to my answer about bundling.
So as I pointed out in the column, bundling often occurs in businesses with high fixed and low marginal costs, like airlines, hotels, etc. That's because the marginal cost of added amenities doesn't jack up the price much, but improves the experience a lot
