FOREVER FRIDAY

Greenwood, Oklahoma 1906

ONCE AGAIN THE WEEK DISAPPEARED for me. Where did it go?  Friday again and I'm alright with that.  I have plans to add some coleus to the front porch urns this week-end, collect some mint to dry out and snip some lavender.  A wonderful thing to do on the week-end.  

I want to make some mint ice-cubes placing mint sprigs in ice cube trays and add water.  I'll have to dump the finished product into a zip-lock baggie and reuse the mold.  Fun for iced tea.  

Caught up on the laundry!  If I could do a back flip, I would.  

If it's not storming, I'll be watching a Friday Night MOVIE and possibly eating popcorn.  A pleasant Friday night.

OTHER THOUGHTS.
I use to live in the TULSA area in Jenks PROPER.  Hubby worked down town in one of the historic buildings.  With the TRUMP RALLY taking place at the BOK building June 20th, I am concerned the event will get way out of hand and much destruction will take place.  

I was reading an article about 250 National Guard will be present with shields, batons and gas.  250 soldiers won't make a dent against a huge group of angry protesters.  What are they thinking?  Perhaps they want a horrible event to happen to further martial law.  

A BIG CONCERN is the number of covid cases has not gone down in Oklahoma and to say it has is a blatant lie, Mister Pence.  A lie.  Good heavens.  Tuesday, they had the largest jump in cases in one day.        

First off, I am astonished that a RALLY is going to take place in the middle of a PANDEMIC where there will be no way to social distance when sitting and standing in the building.  All seats taken.  The people attending the rally will sign a waver saying that they will not sue the TRUMP CAMPAIGN if they get covid 19.  

Pass the buck.  TRUMP CAMPAIGN is saying it is free choice to attend and nobody is making them attend.  The waver won't protect them if protesters jump them as they return to their cars.  Didn't see that one coming.  

Why would a President that cares for the well being of the citizens have a rally in the first place during a pandemic?  Neither he or VP Pence wear mask around people.  I lost track how many times the six feet distancing was not honored when holding a meeting/briefing.

With people getting exposed to the virus in a overcrowded setting they will return to their homes and away it goes.  President Trump will not have the every day person near him at the Rally.  He'll be protected.  He'll return to the White House ready for the next Rally.  

The Governor ought to be ashamed of himself for encouraging Trump to have a Rally in Tulsa at this time.  Trump should be ashamed of himself having a Rally during this pandemic.

If this rally goes haywire with protesters in the street, they may have another June 1, 1921 Tulsa Race Riot Massacre like what happened in Greenwood.  HORRIBLE destruction and loss of life.
Except the KKK was involved in this massacre with aircrafts bombing the residents with turpentine bombs.  Bombs were dropped on Greenwood in America.  Is the KKK still involved somehow in todays protests?

America may be done with covid, but covid isn't done with America.  

I know that at the May 7, 2020 White House Day of Prayer, so-called Pastor Paula White-Cain tried to make our President appear as a Biblical figure comparing him to David.  The death count was near 70,000 Americans who had died from covid 19.  So Paula conveniently found a Bible scripture mentioning the death of 70,000 people.  When using scripture where 70,000 men from David's Army died, she conveniently left out some parts where David sought the Lord.  Paula ends her portion of the Prayer time with saying, "You will recover all."  She mixed up scripture to blend into what she wanted to tell the President.  I don't think our President is a DAVID.  

Many like to use the scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 where it reads (paraphrasing) If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, that God in heaven will hear their prayers and He'll heal their land.  They fail to mention that if the leadership is wicked, the people will suffer.

On May 7th, Paula made it sound like President Trump would win over this virus.  On June 19th, we are up to 120,000 covid related deaths and climbing.  A Rally is about to take place and our President is oblivious to the virus?  As long as he gets a feed off of supporters, he's happy?  For the moment.  It doesn't last.  He'll need another fix.  And another and another.

I am beside myself.

Forever Friday,
