“London (CNN) – Queen Elizabeth II, who has died age 96 after the longest reign in British history, will be mourned around the globe as one of the last monarchs born to a classic age of European royalty, when kings and queens wielded genuine political power.”

“Elizabeth’s death comes seven months after she marked the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne, yet another milestone achievement in the remarkable life of a queen who, though reluctantly thrust into the spotlight at a young age, won almost universal praise for her steadfast dedication to duty.”

tearing through empty spaces

tearing leaves from branches

tearing ribbons from girls’ hair

tearing blooms from lilies

tearing is not intended harm, it’s just the wind.

Pervading candle shadows cast a beautiful wavering glow over a lavender jacket, which hid her curves. This only entrenched the tee shirt wearing man’s ardor who was taking slow steps toward her. She stood as he slowly removed his shirt, tangential soothing words escaping his lips. She turned away as he carefully, seductively removed her blouse. There was not much of a variable in their speech from then on, only sounds of pleasure.

persistence requires strength of will, and determination

roots trying to rise to the sun, through trampled concrete sidewalks

toddlers rising again and again to walk to their mothers

Straight legged trousers really neat

Easy dance to a sixties beat

Wooly bully, wooly bully😀

***I changed the rules and wrote my own true story.

When did I lose control is a question people might ask after experiencing a life changing event. I know I did. Having three major events in two years brought my life into clear focus. I think before I had been undermined by contentment even though nothing was ever perfect, I was happy and settled. I am an organized person. I like things “settled”. Upending events in 2013-2015 showed me something different. Now almost ten years later I feel settled again. Whew!

Fox producer’s warning against Jeanine Pirro surfaces in Dominion defamation suit September 6, 20225:00 AM ET

“The producer warned: Fox cannot let host Jeanine Pirro back on the air. She is pulling conspiracy theories from dark corners of the Web to justify then-President Donald Trump’s lies that the election had been stolen from him. The existence of the email, confirmed by two people with direct knowledge of it, is first publicly disclosed by NPR in this story. Fox News declined comment.
Pirro was far from alone in broadcasting such false claims. In the weeks that followed Election Day 2020, other prominent Fox stars, commentators and their guests heavily promoted them.”

Finally! Fox (news) people will be held accountable.
