 [Putin Kills Last Dissident] The last Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny, 47, died in prison yesterday of “old age”. First they poisoned him –twice, then imprisoned him –many times, then painted his face green–twice, then made him disappear for a time, then they finally killed him while still in jail. A hero and martyr who gave his life for Russia. Link |

Have a question of the process to try and build a home in unincorporated Monroe County, she’s amazing! Sometimes the process of learning is handed off to others due to lack of knowledge, or perhaps just tired of answering questions. If they don’t know, they will 100% find the answer or the persons that do. These two individuals are beyond reproach |

| [Quitting] How to delete your Facebook account and take your data with you. Meta has buried account deletion and deactivation within your Facebook settings, but we found them.

| [Friday Joke] You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed. On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you. Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it. Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front of you. What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation? (Answer: Get your drunk butt off the merry-go-round!) |
 Ash Wednesday signifies the start of the penitential Lenten phase and is a profound indication of human mortality and the necessity for communion with Heaven. In 2024, Ash Wednesday is scheduled to be on February 14. Although meat is prohibited from consumption, Christians can have eggs, milk, grains, fish, vegetables and fruits on Ash Wednesday. Christians across the globe celebrate the advent of Lent with events and dust and ashes on the forehead and brow. It is a reflection or a reminder of the opportunity of repentance of sin. Ash Wednesday preaches to be kind to each other. |

 [Shooting of the Week] In light of the Kansas City shooting at an all-age event, it’s really terrible when you cannot even scroll through online news without the reminder of what a hellhole civilization we have become.
