Thank you for the lovely shout out. Remember

Our whispers, when woven together, ~become a roar that shatters silence~.

That is so perfect, Gloria.

Here on Substack I feel this kind of Faraday Effect, or maybe like OM chanted together in a group yoga class or meditation that hits the magical resonance frequency of the Earth's electromagnetic field.

Thank you for attending the Vegas rally and sharing your experience Gloria!

We would not have missed it. It was so thrilling to watch the stadium fill with hopefuls faces smiling and chatting with one another. Strangers became instant friends. Hugs were commonplace. Love was in the air.

OM (oh, I hope those 20 yrs of raising kids & running a household while working full time and straying from the cosmic path did not in any way facilitate our recent troubles), it helps. where is our President Ford reassuring us "our long national nightmare is over"?

Great post, thank you immensely for your research and updates in addition to your articles. You are highly trusted because of your research integrity and shall probably be thanked by many surprised voters! 🫵🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Aww. Toots, you are my hero! Thank you for helping me get through these past years. Love you!

ed stull's avatar

Love you back, toots… it’s been a mutual admiration society of sorts, of the most genuine and beloved sentiments that have sustained us both in this challenge. Kamala is gonna love you when you two meet officially… 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊

Thank you for your work. I love seeing all the people forward and fighting battles to save our country.

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Back at you Jim, sincerely. I'm grateful for you!

I know that there has been many ups and some downs in this battle against autocracy and cultish followings. And I knew, during the down time you would bounce back with the strength to do a headstand in the sands of hope.

Good question about Doomsday news and clickbait, because they absolutely go together inside a system of news-for-money, because fear drives the clickbait as much as curiosity and those two often gang up together. There is a much longer rant in me here on relating some religious trainings and crowd manipulation of the mind that orients many people to fear driven thoughts in a kind of daily manner. Never mind Sundays.

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Fantastic connection you made with the religious (Catholic) fear mongering, which is what I grew up with. Brilliant. Thanks for the great comment!🙏🏻💙

It's got to be done but it is pretty hard on people I imagine, grabbing onto what's grabbed on to them from so early. I had the great fortune of not being brought up religious at all but more people-hoodie as we say in Judaism. But I didn't know I was Jewish till I was 18 which is a whole other story, and which gave me a chance to bypass the early whatever it might have been. So I've been studying in various ways ever since especially at my present shul ('school' in English for those reading this). I E synagogues are places of learning, not imbibing, not brainwashing, and dedicated to thinking with heart and mind together. The problem is very much embedded in the proposed heaven and hell scenario so you set up to fear hell from the beginning. As if it existed somewhere else. Have a good night!

The here is so much about Judaism that is common sense for the good of humanity. The Romans crucified Jesus who was a Jew.

Robin Birdfeather's avatar

If you look into the period between the fall of the second temple in about 70 CE and the rise of the Catholic Church over the next three centuries there is a strain of let us say human creation organized around people's fear of the unknown especially the mystery of death. So in a bunch of guys in robes and skirts come to the conclusion that they can control things from this POV by declaring stuff that suits there control ideology, and in a climate of elite priests and where practically nobody else can read, you kind of get the idea how the gig was rigged from so early. Sunday School as we call it has been a time of inculcation into their ideas and whatever they say and they're supposed to mean in life, some of which are quite obviously good allowed by those guys and that threatens them don't you think?

Truly pagan. I’ll never understand evil power mongers taking advantage of the less fortunate 💔

Hi Robin, thanks for this.

Beverly Smiles ga's avatar

I’m checking my status of voter registration every week as you recommend. Accurate today.

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Wonderful! It's always so scary when it comes back not as we expect. Thanks for reading to the end, Beverly!💙

Politicians should stand for elections, not run them! With independent oversight like our [UK] Electoral Commission. I think this would easily have the support of most people. If you get a majority in Congress, please, please legislate for reform!

Love the Statue of Liberty pic, although I’m actually a childless dog woman! Ollie is our 7th spaniel, a beautiful and devoted rescue springer now aged 14.

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Yes! We MUST win the House and the Senate to codify a lot of what was destroyed by the treasonous GOP.

Oh good point, I wish the image of Lady Liberty had one pupper and one catto.

Thanks for rescuing your wonderful springer, I'll check your feed for photos 😻

Clare Munks's avatar

Posted a recent pic, will add a few more when I work out how to resize them!

I like it Ms E. Turning lemons onto lemonade!

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Ha!! Excellent! Thanks Tom!💛

Positive spin is so needed...the majority prefer positive vs negative...if only MSM would get on board and just be fact based rather than "unbiased", which just means "bought".

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Right? My instincts say the same, most would prefer a positive spin, or at least not a doomsday spin. I immediately turn off doomsday talk.

Thanks Kimberly!

Larry Jaffe's avatar

You got style. I'm tired and going to sleep. My final words for 8/11

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Thank you Larry. Sweet dreams. 🥰

Paul Wittenberger's avatar

Tomorrow we vote in the Wisconsin primary. 💙💙💙

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Holy moly, Paul! Thanks for the heads-up. I hope everyone's registration is up to date.

Any crucial races that we need to promote?

Paul Wittenberger's avatar

Dem Tammy Baldwin v. Rep Eric Hovde (another millionaire running for U.S. Senate, like Ron Johnson is already one too many)

Lorraine Evanoff and Louise Moscow and Black Widow!

I love that you linked to Celine Dion's rebuke to the Trump campaign. "Really, you played THAT SONG!" -- in reference to "My Heart Will Go On" -- Celine Dion does NOT want the neo-fascist to use that song!

Good for YOU, Celine Dion!

And your own rebuke of the Press that put a bullhorn to the outrageous lies of the Dipsy-Trumpster! It is anything BUT evenhanded.

So, I will take your POSITIVE-PRESS any day!

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Pretty epic take down by Dion. I hope she gets them to cease and desist.

Although it already backfired on tRump ha ha!

Thanks as always for taking the time to read my posts Armand!🙏🏻💙

Jonji's avatar

Lorraine, thank you for accentuating the hopeful ambience we've all been so thirsty for! I feel like we've been under an ugly, dark cloak for several years, and this feels like what we all want and need 💙

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

We have, Jonji and the resistance has gotten us through by not falling for the KGB playbook tactics of creating hopelessness. We’ve stayed strong to fight them off💪🏻🌊

Jonji's avatar

Amen! 💙💙💙💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Excellent piece, reminding every to check their voting status, coupled with looking at life creatively and positively!

It’s good to know what the ignoble poltroons are up to but…

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Yes agreed we can keep on top of their antics while assessing our progress in a positive way instead of sowing dismay.

Thanks for the great comment Patrick🙏🏻💙

Kate Morgan Reade's avatar

Oh my! That makes me so happy! Gratitude is the secret sauce, no? I'm grateful you are part of my life! 💙🐈‍⬛😎

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Indeed! I'm so grateful for you too, my friend. 😻

Kate Morgan Reade's avatar

Hello sweetness! Just catching up on some previous posts and appreciate this so much! Yes: real and positive. Hell no: fake, stupid and mean. Gratitude rocks the day every time! Thank you so much for the voter registration info! Yikes! All set to make The Amazing Kamala our first female and person of color MADAME PRESIDENT! 💙💙💙

Lorraine Evanoff's avatar

Kate! When thinking of gratitude I thought of you 💙

Michael Williams-Owolabi's avatar

Loving the lifestyle stuff. Good points on facts reigning supreme (it's a habit for me to cite my sources below my posts now) and thanks for reminding me that I still need to register to vote very soon!

Thanks for reading and commenting, Michael!
