PROMPT WORD: LIFT
***
Wanting to look younger was her rift, decided to see a doc for a lift.
Sure he said with a maniacal smile, she decided to go along for the ride.
After, in the bath she looked in the mirror, the results couldn’t have been much clearer.
Her chest resembled Mounts on Rushmore, not just two, but two more.
She was shocked at the picture painted, fell into the tub when she fainted.
Her saving grace as was floundering, the new chest kept her from drowning.
Every soldier is a special someone in somebody’s life. When a warrior falls in defense of their homeland and it’s citizens, we sometimes forget that somewhere a mother just lost a son, a wife just lost a husband, or a little girl lost her mommy or daddy.
Nothing can ever fill that void in those people’s lives.Ever.
The very least we can do is take a moment to remember.
For all the fine men and women who gave their lives in conflict, I express my gratitude.
I pray for the day when sacrifices like those are no longer necessary.

Tried to reblog, didn’t work so copied and pasted🥴
They started to trample out of the crack in the untethered brambles—bees, hundreds of them it seemed! The sky darkened as they swept up as if a ritual began, and the white clouds were peppered with this sight. A hum of cadence as they rose in formation and I felt the urge to run but I was mesmerized. It was no leap of my imagination to realize their mission as a surprising message was scrawled across the sky: “Save us!”
Just a few bits and pieces that I thought I might share with you today.
“A wonderful man”
Donald Trump appears to believe that Hannibal Lecter, the fictional character from the 1988 book by Thomas Harris and the 1991 adapted film “The Silence of the Lambs,” was a real person. During a rally in New Jersey, he referred to “the late, great” Hannibal Lecter as a “wonderful man” and even mentioned the iconic scene where Lecter says, “I’m about to have a friend for dinner.”
Does Trump seriously think that “Hannibal the Cannibal” Lecter was a real person? Who knows? But given that Trump often claims that he defeated Barack Obama in an election (it was Hillary Clinton he beat), calls Hamas “hummus,” and said that wind turbines were killing whales “in numbers never seen before,” one can never tell with Trump.
Making liberal heads explode
Donald Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn, to whom Trump granted a pardon after Flynn had twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, is promoting a new real estate firm catering to Trump supporters.
The website for MAGA Realty promises that all employees and partner firms are “thoroughly vetted to ensure that they share our beliefs, so you can rest assured that you are working with fellow patriots who will strive to invest in and uphold a conservative America.” The website also guaranteed that no portion of its earned commissions will go to left-wing causes. But a portion of every sale will go to support the FIGHT LIKE A FLYNN PAC. “No American in modern times has given more to America and been attacked for doing so.
In addition, all MAGA Realty homebuyers will be gifted a 25-foot flagpole, and an AR-15 “to make liberal heads explode.” Seriously, that’s what their website says.
The law is what we say it is
According to political strategist Michael Podhorzer, 74-year-old Clarence Thomas and 76-year-old Samuel Alito, along with the four other Federalist Society-approved Supreme Court justices, know that a second Trump term would enable them to pass on their seats to equally MAGA justices, sealing their legacy on SCOTUS for a generation.
If even one of the three Democratic appointees had a health or other issue leading to an empty seat, Trump could make nominations that add up to a 7-2 Federalist Society majority, with John Roberts the only one over 60 years old. To that, add the additional hundreds of other Trump appointments to federal district and appeals courts. That would enshrine the new “the law is what we say it is” jurisprudence.
Joe shook off the snow on his umbrella and left it by the door. The murder scene had already been visited by the forensics team and he could investigate at will. He tried not to assume this was another gamer’s demise, even though Jerry, the victim, was sitting with a controller remote on his lap. Looking around the room, Joe spied a few gaming trophies the young man had won. This might have just been a crime of passion, or jealousy, but there was evidence suggesting more. A book listing gaming tournaments and Jerry’s passport meant this teenager was going to travel overseas to compete. The intended destination offered a sizable prize for the winner of the competition. Joe concluded that this was a crime perpetrated in order to take Jerry’s place in the competition. Unfortunately for the murderer, he was the prime suspect. After Joe confronted him, he started crying and confessed. Another puzzle solved.
