The investigation has started. Looking into collusion of Trump & his campaign with Russia to influence votes by issuing fake news using bots & human agents.

It’s a new type of warfare. Polling machines were not hacked, minds & imaginations were manipulated via fake news.

Something I learned about when in school in Florida during the Cold War/Duck&Cover/Kid Dog Tags/Where’s the Fallout Shelter days.

Amazing as that is, we learned about propaganda and how the Soviet Union put it to use. Russia under Putin has those practices still in use, modernized to weaponize information directed in undermining our Democracy.

We’re in a Cyberwar with bullies, Trump, Putin, Speaker Ryan, Bannon, Kushner, Conway, Spicer, the list is YUGE. For what? Our freedoms? The history of how and why this Nation came to be, how my childhood was shaped living in fear of bright flashing lights, loud booms and my constant panic that we could be blown to smithereens at any moment by foreign powers.

As a child I could never figure that one out, why someone we didn’t know, had never met, would decide that we should die in horrible ways. Why?

I’ve decided to go through this hearing clipping parts now & then that clarify a point for me. Now that I see that C-Span allows you to snip highlights of a long drawn out process. I’m still in part one.

I am #TheResistance I am a Real American, child of Immigrants, proud of my America’s diversity, riches of diverse cultures, gifts & talents. We are all one under one sky, stuck on this planet spinning it’s way through space with madmen in charge.

Time for the People of Earth to take heart, toss off the chains of bad leadership & rise to remove those who dare to impede our rise to Life, Liberty & Happiness for all the world.

Not only for trump & his cabinet, a gang of fascist billionaires foxes guarding our henhouse, are the freedoms all people should have right to, for all people of this planet. Governments work for us, not their selves.

Our Declaration of Independence says:

hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

We have the duty as True Americans
to remove trump from
our WhiteHouse!

Impeach trump Now!

By now most people know what Minecraft is… mostly. What age do you have to be to play?

Any age with the desire to create and play in a ever-changing virtual world environment of square blocks.

A friend of mine gave me my Minecraft(MC) account when I complained about having to drop my monthly subscription to World of Warcraft (WoW) , I was unemployed, we were on Facebook Messenger. He said “I have something to keep your mind busy.” Then gave me the gift code for a Minecraft account.

I created my account, punched in the code and downloaded the MC launcher. When my first MCworld opened up I said “OMG it’s so pixelated!” My friend said, “That’s it’s charm.”

I said ok, I’ll give it a try, and played my first day and died, and kept dying for a while before I actually got the hang of what you do on the first day in MC to survive. What do you do in real life when lost in the woods, or somewhere, first get shelter, food and tools, etc. Same in Minecraft.

This is my first attempt to create a blog about being a retired senior female gamer playing Minecraft. The game that never ends, well, ok it does have “The End” to explore. When one gets to the point of experience, tired of exploring (never for me) and want new challenges, there are servers out there with all sorts mods that can be added to create a different experience with new challenges; Skyblock (my favorite), Arcade games, Factions, Feed the Beast, Arduous (which I haven’t been able to play yet), SkyWars. The list goes on and I know I’ve missed someone’s favorite mod flavor, write your own blog.

Best yet is that these sites are all free, though you can donate to keep the server you play on running, you don’t have to donate to the server, it’s not required to have fun. Once you pay for an account for Minecraft you need never pay another cent and… you can move from server to server if you find you want more challenge or just want to try something else. There are tons of servers out there.

I took a tour on an arcade server of it’s group games with my 9yo grandson as my guide. It was fun I have to admit. Rushing from game to game, “What do you want to play next!”  I like the Skyblock challenge. I’m still searching for that perfect Skyblock that has all the features and challenges I want.

In the future I’ll attempt to review the Skyblock servers I have play on and maybe some others. What’s it like to play on servers where the age of players can range from 6-99+ and what the environment is like for those that don’t have a clue of what it is like playing on a well maintained Minecraft server.

It’s behind me!… RUN!

Minecraft Tip#1: If you hear a zzzZZZZzz do not turn around. RUN! –– it’s a Creeper they explode. 

Just keep playing…

Dear Amanda, I read “a mother’s confession” last night, had problems with the link and waited till now to finally listen to it.

I cried.

You sang:

“i feel so useless in this universe
i know i could be doing worse
i’m trying hard to stay at peace inside
i know it’s hard to be a parent
but my flaws are so gigantic
…i wonder if i should have had a child.”

This is me now, it doesn’t stop at the birth of a child. Being a mother was the hardest thing for me to do. I did it 6 times, Patrice, Sonya, Gavin, Novasara, Marilin and Phelan. Poor Patrice is #1, I didn’t know a thing about what I was doing, raising children is not a thing for those of weak heart. She fell out of her crib one afternoon because I forgot to put the side up. Sometimes it amazes me that any child survives their childhood. I was #1 for my mom. Especially when one is #1 child, they take the blunt of that inexperience. I finally understand at 65 why my Mommy sometimes cried.

I do feel useless in this universe, like I’m just along for the ride, too soon the time will come, that I will die. What have I done? I could have done worst and I am trying hard to stay at peace inside. My flaws are so gigantic… I wonder sometimes if I should have had children.

Marilin, #5

Then I see the postings on Facebook of my 6 children and I cannot help but be proud of them. They are the one great

#1 Son, Gavin

thing I did in my life time. We live so far apart most of us, seeing the grandchildren grow up through pictures and videos, beautiful, happy, healthy, funny, grandchildren. That’s my payback, though I have done nothing else of matter in this Universe at this time, at least the baby didn’t die.

Thank you,

Love & Light till Forever Ends,
~Wyn*.
