The 47 Ronin... and 47 days to go!!!!

Celia xx

I am glad you chose the Ronin 47 and not the AK-47, which I know you would not have done in any case.

A good bit of Japanese history concerning that actual Ronin 47 is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty-seven_r%C5%8Dnin

BTW: The movie "47 Ronin" is a fantasy with little but the names in common with the real 47 Ronin.
_____________________________________________________________________
We have 46 days left until we hopefully begin the process of getting rid of Dear Leader:


I enjoy watching MotoGP racing. mostly in Europe. Valentino Rossi, #46 is one of the best riders. I am totally slack jawed when these racers lean their bikes over at 50° at over 200kph. It is more interesting than watching Formula 1, which is getting to be somewhat boring with Mercedes almost always winning.

This post is being made September 16, 2020 @ 13:47 PST and is 47 days (my time) before the election.

I goofed so I am going to skip a post for today and start up on Day 45. I

If you are confused, image what I am going through trying to figure out days and dates.

Catching up:


I wish RBG was going to be around to see a better January 21, 2021! It would have been nice to have President Biden give RBG a call telling her it was okay to retire now!

oops!!! Got a liccle behind with this....




and then today!!!!!

Up to date!!!!!!!

Dear Leader is certainly making some VERY frightening comments...!

Many won't understand what the image of a 'Yard of Ale' is. Nice!


Getting closer. I don't think the release of Trump's tax returns this past weekend will change any of his base's voter's minds, maybe some who are still undecided (if there are any left) and will certainly solidify the Dem vote.

If you have a chance watch the "Comey Rule" on Showtime. It left me with a very empty feeling about Jim Comey and how he handled the Clinton email fiasco and how he had to deal with Trump.

Miki's edit:

Messier 34 (also known as M34 or NGC 1039) is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was probably discovered by Giovanni Batista Hodierna before 1654 and included by Charles Messier in his catalog of comet-like objects in 1764. Messier described it as, "A cluster of small stars a little below the parallel of γ (Andromedae). In an ordinary telescope of 3 feet one can distinguish the stars.

Thank you Celia!

Oh Miki!

You amaze me with your astronominical superbical knowledge!!!!!! I threw that one in, with very, very little to go on and you got it.... I am very amazicalled!

Celia xx

Oh we have missed quite a few.... anyway.....

Okay, girl, you got me! I do not understand the connection between the Roman Proserpina and the Greek Persephone goddess. Please, please, please let me know of your concoction of mysteries.

Ah it doesn't matter. I've lost count anyway and Trump is number two.

Lots of people make fun of Americans for making Trump president. But most Americans voted against him in reality.

Next month most Americans will wash him away as a warning that democracy is a delicate rose that needs a lot of minding. Even if he rallies his militia to surround the Whitehouse. The US constitution was designed to prevent a monarch. Which is what he believes he is.
His deliverance from Covid reinforces his delusion. Destiny.
In his mind.

The danger is that he has reinforced the extreme right.

A new civil war?

I hope not

Unfortunately, our Constitution has several flaws that are being exploited by Trumps allies. Specifically, the fact that states chose who the electors are for the Electoral College - an anachronism that is being bastardized by GOP legislators in several states, namely Wisconsin, Florida and Pennsylvania.

Can you say 'Boogaloo'! Oh, and ask Governor Gretchen Whitmer about her recent (last week's) experience with the far-right!

The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois, is a loosely organized far-right, anti-government, and extremist political movement in the United States. The movement has also been described as a militia. Boogaloo adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War, which they call the boogaloo. Boogaloo has been used on the fringe imageboard website 4chan since 2012, but it did not come to widespread attention until late 2019. Adherents use boogaloo, including variations so as to avoid social media crackdowns, to refer to violent uprisings against the federal government or left-wing political opponents, often anticipated to follow government confiscation of firearms.

Ok Miki!!!!

Proserpina is a Godess also called Persephone...... and the Asteroid number ?? is also called that!!!!!!

Hopefully, we won't go bust at the gambling election table

I got that one, Celia. I get my eyes checked often and aside from having 74 (this month) year old eyes and some astigmatism, I am 20/30 (6/9) in one eye and 20/10 (6/3) in the other.

The Sun is a nice card to draw for someone, anytime during a reading. When drawn first, what I call the character card, shows me that the subject is gifted, of good character, has gentle humour and naturally good with money and business. the person is often of a happy disposition.

It has definitive goodness and matched with positive cards, it will strengthen their influence, drawn with negative cards it will lessen the effect of them, especially when drawn at the future tense.  

The tenses of the Sun card's that I use read left to right, the middle being the present and the left the past the right the future. The Sun influences I use are shown as thus.

The past Sun draw is bringing influence from the work the subject has worked for and has now showing fruition. Though the past is obviously the least powerful influence, it does add or diminish the other tenses to a degree, depending upon it's draw. The influence the Sun has one of the strongest influences to those, but not overriding.  

The Sun drawn present will show a present influence that is going to be positive, a new partner or a new business or child for example. It also shows that the subject must continue to strive for their goal and must continue upon the present goal in life, for it will bring untold happiness. To draw the Sun here is very fortunate.

A future show of The Sun is the most influential of the tenses for it. For it shows the subject will have and take a very good opportunity that will better their life considerably. The present draw influences this greatly, but the Sun card does show benefit over all cards, it may be diminished by the present draw however.

On a specific asked by the subject, it is a positive answer, though the Sun has no influence upon
specific dates, if it is near a solstice, that time could be influential.

The Sun is card 19!
