Look what he’s done with his song, ma…

JDVance: “You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz, as a Marine who served his country in uniform? When the United States Marine Corps, when the United States of America asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it,” Vance said. “When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you know what he did? He dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him.” (Lies)

But Army Lt. Col. Ryan Rossman, director of operations for the Minnesota National Guard, said Wednesday that Walz’s unit “received an alert order for mobilization to Iraq on July 14, 2005.” Walz had retired two months earlier, in May. (Truth)

Thursday Inspiration #241 Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma

The Transformation

A quiet unassuming girl was visited by an intimidating specter. The specter told her not to be afraid, but listen to her advice. “I’m going to transport you into the future where you will accomplish many things, defeat an evil king, and become a leader. The tools you will need will be provided. All you need is determination and using your inner strength. I tried and failed and as you can see, I am no longer human.”
Suddenly the specter disappeared and the girl felt a strange occupation of her being. She fainted and woke up in a different world. Looking down at herself, she had muscles, her hair was long and waving. Her dress had been replaced by leathers and boots and she had weapons on her sides. A breeze surrounded her and images of stone structures and horses appeared. By her side a man dressed in a helmet and armor sat, seeming sad and defeated.
The man looked up and saw her and a smile came over his weathered face. “Theodora! You’re alive! I’m so glad to see you! We looked everywhere and it seemed you disappeared, or worse, were captured. With you leading us again, I think we might have a chance.” Other men dressed in bloody armor started coming up to them. A few bowed or took a knee, uttering “Bellona”. Plans were made and battles fought, but Theodora and her soldiers ended victorious. It seemed her presence urged them on to champion in battle.
Later that evening the celebrations began.

Lady justice always wears a blindfold

The reason, she’s unbiased

Sword’s meaning – punishment

–

Steadfast and unyielding, judgment careful

Truth and evidence the key

Morals, a dilemma

–

The scales may tip to ethical questions

Principles – the golden rule –

“ through every human heart”

–

Lady justice always wears a blindfold

Truth and evidence are key

“ through every human heart”.
