Sundays should be for meditation and contemplation. Maybe going to the gun range for target practice.
Saturday and the rest of the previous week are for podcasting…
Copyrighted Pope Leo and China shading the current Felon-in-Chief and that administration
I am re-posting my most-streamed episode, which I have copyrighted, with the following additions:
No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a “cousin”. He has emphatically stated he is not MAGA.
ew Year’s Resolutions or Intentions for the New Year…Peace will rule, get into it!
End of year roundup, reflecting on next chapter of my life, I am hopeful that my ordered steps will help someone else.
Truth comes in many forms.
As the first American-born pope, he has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he “doesn’t understand the United States,” as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government.
He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration’s deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit.
While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid “partisan politics,” he has also said that he is not afraid to “raise issues” that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to walk, and his comments about human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a critique of the administration’s policies from a moral and religious standpoint.
I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold, listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! #pettylujah
Facts:
China has little incentive to make a sweeping trade deal with the current US administration (referencing the Trump administration) because the current US strategy of unilateral pressure and withdrawal from global alliances inadvertently plays right into China’s long-term strategic goals.

What has been draining your spirit?
5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos.
An elderly woman once told a sister, “I love her, but I cannot breathe when she leaves. It is as though she blows out the candles in my house.” The sister answered her with gentle truth, “Love her from a distance, for God did not ask you to sacrifice your peace to satisfy another’s unrest.”
If someone’s constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary.
The second type, the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.
3rd type
They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you. Your past is not a weapon for others to wield.
4th Darkness Bearers
one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from
the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer.
A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.
5th Silent but just as deadly
This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts.
A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.
Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in
clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.

Let’s endeavor to move in silence until it is permanent.
“A leader leads by example, not by force.”
Sun Tzu:
Sun Tzu outlines the foundation of effective leadership. Influence through personal integrity and action earns genuine respect, unlike coercion, which only breeds resistance.

Feeling anxious about re-entering the world? You’re not alone. The pandemic changed everything, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed.
Here’s a quick guide to help you overcome the fear of isolation:
- Acknowledge Your Feelings: It’s okay to not be okay. Your fear is a normal reaction to an abnormal time.
- Start Small: Don’t rush. Begin with small, manageable steps, such as a short walk or a low-key coffee with a friend.
- Set Boundaries: It’s completely fine to say no. Prioritize what makes you feel safe and comfortable.
Be kind to yourself and celebrate every small victory. You’ve got this!
Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower was intended to be part of a series of six novels, which were planned as Parable of the Talents, Parable of the Trickster, Parable of the Teacher, Parable of Chaos, and Parable of Clay. Still, only the first two were ever published, in 1993 and 1998, respectively.
It is well known that the Parable of the Trickster had many starts and stops, and Octavia Butler was suffering from debilitating writer’s block towards the end of her life. I believe that if she had lived to see the discontinuation of the shuttle program and the rise of SpaceX and Blue Origin, those last books would have been written, and she would have written to President Obama or Stacy Abrams, ushering in a new age of enlightenment.
Imara Wright Drew, a 35-year-old African American woman, works as part of the Earthseed community as a guide, aiding family groups that have awakened from Diapause (suspended animation) on Bow, the colony under a dome on Trappist 1e.
I will also run through RHOC and #LAHHA, who is going to tell Yandy Smith and Rasheeda that neither is Queen of ATL and it’s still Mona Scott Young’s Franchise?
