Beck Takes Courage To A New Level At Jerusalem Rally

Loading

Addressing thousands at his much heralded “Restoring Courage” rally in Jerusalem on Wednesday evening August 24th, FOX News talk show host Glenn Beck exhorted his audience to immerse themselves in doughtiness and “to stand up for Israel” in the face of the existential siege that the Jewish state finds herself under by the international community.

Speaking from the Southern Wall excavation site in Jerusalem’s old city, Beck, an intrepid supporter of Israel and the Jewish people delivered an ominous portent of geo-political realities. “Today, the world needs courage more than ever. You don’t have to be a prophet to know that things are not going well in the world. The threats are mounting. Darkness is falling”, he intoned.

Speaking of the potentially lethal ramifications of the Arab Spring, he added, “When I saw Tunisia’s and Egypt’s rulers crack and fall and the world called it the Arab Spring, I said: Where could this be going? And behind these revolutions was a familiar force, a force that will place those nations under a new pharaoh. And that force, I said, would come up to the borders of Israel. And so it has. You see evil rear its head in our time. You see the signs again. The swastikas are on display in the street marches. This week they’re holding up signs in Cairo that say: We’re building the gas chambers. They dress their children in suicide belts. They are given the choice, and they choose death.”

Making an oblique reference to the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting in September in which a vote will be taken on the creation of an independent Palestinian state, Beck lambasted the world body by saying, “In New York, the so-called leaders of the world talk about abuses of human rights. But what they will do is abuse the very meaning of the phrase ‘human rights.’ Human rights they say. But who will they focus on? Libya? Syria? North Korea? No. They will condemn Israel. Tiny Israel. Democratic Israel. Free Israel. Israel, which values life above all other things.”

Her furthered chided the world body by saying, “When the Fogel family was killed in their sleep the world barely took note. The grand councils of earth condemn Israel. Across the border, Syria slaughters its own citizens. The grand councils are silent.”

Focusing on the vehement acrimony that engulfs Israel by the international community, Beck declared to thunderous applause, “When the world turns its back on Israel and the Jewish people, the world turns its back on the source of all human rights.” Beck, a Mormon, peppered his address with religious references when illustrating Israel’s role in respecting the sanctity of human life since the dawn of time. “Without the Jewish people, humanity would not know that every individual life has dignity, that every life is sacred, that God names every star and knows every soul. That was God’s message to Abraham and Moses. It is the message of the Jewish people to the world, and by their very existence they teach it to us.”

retire05,
I’m still impress with your values and convictions to try to expose the wrong way of thinking ,
that the GOVERNMENT INSTALLED IN THE PEOPLE’S MIND,
TO give them a illusion of what feeling secure should equal to get as much as they can if the GOVERNMENT OFFER, THEY NOW HAVE FORGET TO SAY NO THANK YOU, WE HAVE ENOUGH,
and we know the burden it cause on the workers who sweat to make this help given to them,
even if they don’t need it,
that is the part which is sucking the economy in a big way, all the abuse from GOVERNMENT TO KEEP MANY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE TO HELP THEM RECOVER WHICH IS THE BIG LIE,
I know that you are a true patriot, and a real AMERICAN IN YOUR HEARTH AND SOUL,
WHERE THERE ARE SO FEWS WHO TO THINK THE SAME WAY, AS THE BORDERS BROUGHT
FOREIGNERS BY MILLIONS SINCE THE 2008 ELECTION, and still coming as OBAMA will keep about several hundreds thousands to compete with the welfare and AMERICANS JOBS WHICH ARE SO FEW ALSO.
how the early settlers manage before to deal with welfare non existent, and yet people knew who needed and where sharing the bits they had with less fortunate, they also knew who to get to help on their house repaired jobs, they knew who to get for harvest time extra jobs, and those employed where finding new improvements on upgrading their skill and making things appropriates,
those times where helping the minds of rich and poor to create in order to achieve a better situation and knew to work for their boss not for the union boss, which now own the people and make them
so limited to cloud their creativity, because they don’t need too work with their mind anymore.
and everyone who know the stories of their generations before them, have a sad nostalgia of thinking those where the good days, and looking at what they see around, think of what did they do to deserve t what is taking place, they feel the self destruct AMERICA LOOSING MORE AND MORE TO FORCES OF HATE AND DIVISION, AND IF ONE COME SHOUTING STOP THE WRECK FROM HAPPENING,
I WILL PROVIDE IDEAS FOR THE SOLUTION. THEY DON’T EVEN BOTHER TO LISTEN,
THEY LOST THEIR OWN FAITH ON THE REAL MAKER OF CHANGE BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID
TO BECOME REAL AMERICANS AGAIN THEY LOST THE MEANING OF THE LAWS OF THE LAND,
THEY ARE OVERPOWER BY THE IMPOSITION OF TAKING GOD AND HIS BELOVED SON
OUT OF PUBLIC GATHERING, OUT OF CHILDREN SCHOOLS,
THEY ARE SUBMITTING TO FOREIGN FORCES TELLING THEM THEY MUST BECOME ONE WITH THE WORLD, THEY ARE SO CONFUSE TO SEE WHAT THE WORLD HAVE ONLY HATE FOR THEM AND INTENT TO OVERPOWER THEIR AMERICA,
GOOD THE PATRIOTS ARE THERE AND READY WHEN THE CALL FOR ACTION IS GIVEN TO RESTORE THIS BEAUTIFUL AMERICA THE LAST FRONTIER OF FREEDOM

@Larry Sheldon: …that Alaska is very different from Minnestoa or Texas in every conceivable way, that Alaska is not a good candidate for a Mattel factory, I am out, in the military communications sense.

CEOs agree with you, Larry. In May of this year, 500 CEOs ranked states for business friendly environment for Chief Executive’s annual business survey, where Alaska was rated as 31st out of the 50 states. Texas has held first position for several years. California kept it’s ranking for the worst.

The Alaska Journal of Commerce noted a CNBC study, where Alaska was ranked last, saying:

Among Alaska’s most glaring problems is its lack of reliable infrastructure, Cohn said. Nearly 85 percent of the state is cut off from the roadway system, with many smaller communities reliant upon air freight and barge service to get goods in and out.

For the purposes of CNBC’s project, however, the quality of roadways and other means of transportation, and not necessarily the quantity, were what determined a state’s rank.

In CNBC’s rankings, Alaska placed last in this category, winning a mere 10 points out of a possible 300.

“I know this is an ongoing issue in Alaska,” he said, noting that it is “near and dear” to a lot of Alaskans’ hearts.

Costs associated with doing business hampered the state, he said. While there is no individual state income tax and property and sales taxes are usually relatively low (there is none in Anchorage), high corporate taxes, real estate costs and workers’ compensation rates raise companies’ losses considerably, he said.

Alaska’s corporate tax hovers between 1 percent and 9.4 percent, according to the website of the state’s Tax Division, with the rate increasing for each additional $10,000 of revenue. Texas, the winning state, has no corporate income tax.

He praised Alaska’s workforce training efforts, which include a number of technical and vocational education programs in colleges and high schools. But Alaska is not a right-to-work state, he said, meaning workers aren’t protected from being forced to join a union.

And just as Alaska produces a lot of talented young people, it also often loses them to states in the Lower 48, he said.

Beyond that, there are few colleges, universities and secondary schools in-state available to train these talented people, he said. The University of Alaska system has five campuses, including colleges in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau. This is in addition to an array of smaller community and private colleges throughout the state.

Then there is the regulatory climate.

He said Alaska is seen as the 47th worst state in the nation when it comes to the legal hurdles faced in resource-extraction efforts.

While the higher corporate tax may offset the advantages of no income tax, The Tax Foundation points out that tax factors are not the only issues that affect a state’s business climate.

Clearly, there are many non-tax factors that affect a state’s overall business climate: its proximity to raw materials or transportation centers, its regulatory or legal structures, the quality of its education system and the skill of its workforce, not to mention the intangible perception of a state’s “quality of life.” The 2011 SBTCI does not measure the impact of these important features of a state’s overall business climate. Rather, the SBTCI merely seeks to measure the tax component of each state’s business climate.

It’s actually somewhat revealing since the Tax Foundation’s SBTCI 2011 study – again, only measuring the tax component of each state for a friendly business climate – ranks Alaska #2 in business friendly taxes. This means that Alaska’s overall negativity as a place for doing business primarily rests on the other factors mentioned… infrastructure, proximity to raw materials and transportation, work force, etc. California ranks 49th, and Texas 13th.

On the flip side, Alaska does well utilizing what it does have, can access and produce easily and is rated as the #1 top growth performer in a US Chamber of Commerce study this year.

Alaska Ranks as Top Growth Performer

The study also ranks what it calls the top growth performers, which it measures by combining two-year and 10-year job growth; gross state product (GSP) data such as real GSP growth since 2000; and income data.

By those metrics, Alaska came out on top.

“Alaska places in the top 10 in six of seven economic performance rankings, trailing only in adjusted family income,” the study explains. “Its rapid gross-state-product increase propelled it to the top spot in this year’s rankings. The state has seen job growth in the past decade in every industry super-sector, and is home to high-value energy and natural resources industries whose growth has fueled large gains in gross state product and productivity.

“Since 2002, Alaska has added more than 6,600 jobs in oil and gas extraction, metal-ore mining and related support activities, as well as another 3,800 in the seafood-products industry and 1,700 in new management, science and technical consulting.”

I also lived through those times, I was in the Navy ’72-75. I was never spit on or called nasty names possibly because I lived in Las Vegas, still do. I’m also not somebody most people would do that stuff to.

It wasn’t the same all over just so you know.

BTW my service then is killing me now. I have esophageal cancer and it’s closed my esophagus to the point that I no longer eat through my mouth but inject Glucerna through a tube in my stomach.

OH WOW, the rain has intensified in strength, the shy is low with clouds merged all into one,
no wind yet but noisy out,
I’ll come back when it change
if my computer can stay alive

PURPLE DRAGON, take care
I must remember to click the cap button, down, I try,
and when I forget I think of your comment to stop it, all the time
but I let it go at the end because It would take too much time to redo it,
and I would forget half of what I wrote ,
so bear with me, I’ll get it eventually,
bye

@PurpleDragon:

Rest easy, sailor, we have got the prayers covered for you. Consider it part of the debt payment to you for your service.

I didn’t think of it at the time I wrote my sign-off for this thread, but here is an additional item, for what it is worth:

In several trips to Alaska I had noticed large collections of concrete silos (“grain bins”, I think the insiders call them–we have or had a lot of them around here, all the ones that used to be adjacent to the Falstaff brewery are being torn down) but any that I got close to appeared to be abandoned00indeed the ones at Valdez gave the aura of “never been used”.

According to people that had lived near them for some time they had been built by governments to turn Alaska (my words) into Kansas.

The Elevators of Alaska

And here we have a troll, in 2011, arguing that somebody else (too cold for him) should build a Mattel plant where there is nothing to support such and endeavor.

It is too bad that people like him won’t allow Alaska to develope the resources they do have in abundance.

@Larry Sheldon:

“Too bad that people like him won’t allow Alaska to develop the resources they do have in abundance.”

And just exactly what do I have to do with how Alaska developes its resources? Because I don’t like fish? Well pardon the hell out of me, but if not eating fish is anti-Alaskan, you have set the bar to be anti-Alaskan pretty damn low.

Now, dimwit, I wasn’t the one who originally mentioned Mattel, but obviously your reading comprehension disability to too great for you to realize that. And obviously you are unaware that in these days of modern aviation, Fairbanks would be a prime place to build a plant that gives Alaskans work. Or do you think that where the city ends there is nothing but frozen tundra? Ummm, the photos I have viewed of Fairbanks, it looks pretty flat to me.

retire05: Fairbanks would be a prime place to build a plant that gives Alaskans work. Or do you think that where the city ends there is nothing but frozen tundra? Ummm, the photos I have viewed of Fairbanks, it looks pretty flat to me.

uh… yeah… “flat” is a requirement for business friendly environments. Dang, how do non-flat terrain cities ever survive??? /sarc

The resources they have that the Federal government will not allow them to develop are things like petroleum and natural gas.

As someone in an article I pointed to might have said, putting a Mattel plant in Alaska would be like putting a salmon cannery in Nebraska.

The other point I have not been able to figure out how to make is that a lot of the land in Alaska is not available to Alaskans.

Larry Sheldon, you mentionned that land not available to ALASKANS?
maybe there is a treaty with the INUITS to leave the land to them which own it to begin with,
do we know of it?
or the GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND AS THEIR OWN. DO WE KNOW OF IT?

@ilovebeeswarzone:

All I know about it I learned from talking to people there and from things like the one I pointed to earlier.

And there are lots of groups (of which the Inuit are but one) in the north of the continent–I forget the correct politically correct term, the one in Alaska is different from the ones in Canada, but I think “First Nations People” is safe. Off the top of my head I think of, in addition to the Innuits, the Tlingits, the Haidas, the Aleuts,… some 600 or more governments. (Crude Alaska joke: The scandal in Metlakatla this morning is that a Tlingit man was caught sleeping in a Haida bed. [it helps if you say it out loud])

Larry Sheldon, YES for THE FIRST NATIONS in CANADA, is the right term for all the tribes of INDIANS, but they keep their different names as mentioned among themselves,
you have named some tribes of the NORTH THAT BESIDE THE INUITS,
I NEVER HEARD BEFORE.
BYE

@PurpleDragon, first let me say that I am sorry to hear of your medical conditions. I do not know what service betweeen ’72-’75 led to this, but I hope that every moment of your life is filled with unqualified joy. I think, in the long run – as finite beings – that is all any of us could hope for. May every moment you breathe air be a blessing filled with laughter and love.

@Larry Sheldon: “Too bad that people like him [retire05] won’t allow Alaska to develop the resources they do have in abundance.”

I believe, Larry, that the CNBC study did indeed point out that Alaska has adeptly exploited their natural resources above all other states, (despite retire05’s limited business knowledge…) to the extent that they hold the #1 spot in performance growth via the links in the comment I made above. I don’t know what else you can ask for, under the current situation. You battle what you can, but in the interim, use what you can use most effectively. It seems that Alaska, above all other states, has done exactly that.

Larry Sheldon, I think the general name on the ALASKA SIDE USA, is THE NATIVES,
as I read on your link providing info on land owned,
and I also notice what made me remember to be true, is the use of land by MILITARY for their respectives needs, of search and training ecetera,
and I don’t believe that the RUSSIA EVER OWN THAT LAND,
THAT LAND HAS BEEN PART OF CANADA BEFORE SHE WAS CUT IN 2 FOR THE USA,
I even think that is CANADA WHO SOLD THE LAND TO USA.

@MataHarley:

Well, my “limited business knowledge” doesn’t prevent me from knowing when you are doing nothing more than slinging sh!t at me. My first clue? You have it on your hands, girl.

And we all know how impossible it is to take a place on flat land, out in the middle of nowhere (although Fairbanks is a city of over 35,000 with a nearby population of almost 90,000) with no redeeming qualities and make it into a prosperous place that provides thousands of jobs. Seems Las Vegas never got the memo, though.

@Larry Sheldon:
#109 Larry, Retire05 isn’t a troll, misguided in his attempt to have Alaska in businesses that would go broke if they moved to Alaska but not a troll.

Congratulations for figuring out that Fairbanks is flat, retire05. Major accomplishment… And of course, Las Vegas and Fairbanks (or even Anchorage) are soooooo much alike in business climate because they are flat. /sarc LOL

Hint… pretend my name isn’t at the top of comment #104, read the links on business feedback from CEOs as to why Alaska isn’t on their radar for business, and learn.

Otherwise, if you don’t want to catch shit…. don’t sling it at the fan.

@MataHarley:

Didn’t you say something sometime back about not responding to my posts anymore? I am sure with your fixation on the wayback machine you can find that statement you made.

Now, I don’t bother you, ususally don’t respond to your posts, but considering that your monumental ego will not allow you to stay out of a debate being conducted by two other people, you have to sate that ego by jumping in. Then, when all else fails, you resort to insults (“limited business knowledge” when you have no actual information of what business knowledge I may possess).

There is a reason the “reply” tab is on this blog. It is designed to reply directly to someone’s post. That is usually an indication that you should keep your nose out of it and allow the participants to go ahead with their conversation.

@retire05:

Are you this boorish in real life? Or is that just part of your Interwebz tough gal persona?

If you want to have a conversation with someone where you wield control over participation, the place for that would be face-to-face, e-mail, telephone, old fashioned snail mail, or…dare I say it…your own blog.

FA is an open format where anyone and everyone is allowed, and encouraged, to participate without regard to the use or non-use of the “Reply” tab and, of course, if you don’t like that then you are under no compulsion to participate here.

@Aye:

Aye, I gave up the “tough gal” persona years ago. LOL. Time seems to take care of that for most people. Boorish? Really? You subscribe to the tactic of insults as well?

But if a poster cannot direct their responses to another particular post, why bother having a “reply” tab? Seems a bit pointless if it is just going to be a free-for-all, doesn’t it? Or perhaps I operate on a different standard: don’t inject yourself into a conversation between two other people if you are not invited to participate. Seems basic courtesy rules to me.

So, if I enter a post, directed at no particular person, jump in, if you so desire. But I am not going to inject myself into your comments to say, Skookum, if they are specifically directed at him and while I can’t/won’t say I have NEVER done that in the past, I find it is usually a good general rule.

If you have a problem with me posting here, spit it out. Or is it that you object to someone poking Mata back when she likes to poke others with a stick?

@retire05:

Yes, boorish. That’s the way you come across. That’s not an insult but rather an observation derived from reading what you’ve typed. Don’t like it? Oh well.

The existence of the “Reply” tab is for matters of clarity, not for exclusion. Anyone and everyone is allowed to participate and respond, or not, as they see fit without regard to who posted what they are responding to.

Even you admit that you may have violated your own self-imposed standards in that regard. Imagine that.

There are no “rules” here which prevent free involvement in conversations and, as I said, if you don’t like that, you are under no compulsion to participate.

@Aye:

Why do I get the impression you would rather I not participate on this site? If that is your opinion, spit it out and quit beating around the bush.

Or do you just perfer that I not push back when Mata (a featured writer here) pushes her stick into my face?

retire05, yes it prefer to not push back, let other do their things, MATA has her way to address, but it don’t mean that she attack and you have your way that could be taken as an attack also,and we don’t have to fight about it, among our own, high strong are good as long as it doesn’t wage a war on our own,
we got enough of confronting the libs spiting at us, and make them swallow their spits back.
sorry for the lecture

@retire05:

Why do I get the impression you would rather I not participate on this site?

I don’t know. Paranoid schizophrenia maybe?

If that is your opinion, spit it out and quit beating around the bush.

I’m a pretty plain spoken kind of guy. I don’t beat ’round the bush on stuff. Haven’t you been around long enough to have learned that by now?

Or do you just perfer that I not push back when Mata (a featured writer here) pushes her stick into my face?

No, what I would prefer is that you refrain from trying to hold others here to rules and expectations that only exist in the area between your earlobes.

@Aye:

“Paranoid schizophrenia maybe?”

Project much?

“Haven’t you been around long enough……………?”

Perhaps on the scale of important issues, FA is not exactly right up there on top.

“Between your earlopes.”

Well, thanks for letting me know that you, like Mata, has to resort to the tactic of insults. It speaks so highly for the intellect level you both seem to possess.

When will this come full circle? Mata defends Gary, you defend Mata (contributing to her tactic of insults) and I am sure Gary will come to defend you (and your tactic of insults). I can hardly wait. Three people who cannot stand on their own. Fancy that, it takes three people to try to tear down one 71 year old woman.

Y’all should be so very proud.

@retire05: Alright retire. I got my boots on that I use to clean out the pig and cow pens, so let’s go another useless round. I was staying out of this because I really thought that you might take a few chill pills and clear your head. But now you drag me back in just when I thought that you had found a new victim! Do you have your typing finger cocked and ready to hit the key? Has the thought that you may have brought all this on yourself ever crossed your mind? Has it occurred to you that maybe you enjoy this type of behavior? I think these two questions will be more than enough to elicit a response from you in some form or fashion. Notice no insults Retire. Or can we agree to disagree and lower our fingers from our keyboards and walk away in a spirit of peace, harmony, and a shared unity of brother and sister hood? And focus our efforts on the real enemy like Sister Bees suggested? Either way I may be delayed in my response. I go now to the altar of Zortar to pray for all of our spirits just to demonstrate to you my sincerity in this peaceful endeavor on my part.

@Gary G. Swenchonis:

Here is my bottom line: when these men and women face the gale winds and battering rains of a hurricane to help people too stupid to leave, when they are the first on the scene building sand levies to protect citizen’s homes from the raging waters of a flood, when they enter the belly of the beast fighting wild fires, and when the go to foreign lands to fight, and die, like full time military, and they are disparaged by someone who uses the slur “week-end warrior”, I will continue to defend them.

And when people try to tell me that Palin has been just as important (with her little “resolution”) in her friendship with Israel when Rick Perry was actually building bridges with Israel while Palin was building hockey rinks in Wasilla, I will continue to defend Perry.

That is just the cut of my jib.

we need retire 05 passion, and Gary G Swenchonis the peace maker,
that is a good debate, and nobody has tried to change the other,
I like you both too, so keep out of trouble

@retire05: Why don’t you try not highjacking unrelated threads and instead comment on-topic? See if people still think you are a jerk.

If you want to pleasure yourself pissing on Palin, start you own blog and have at it. Or is that too cold too.

You might ask around the Guard (if any of them will talk to you) and ask them what they think of Governor.

The simple and obvious truth is, you are scared shitless of her. I wish I could get interested in knowing why.

This isn’t my blog, but for me, I don’t want to hear from you again unless it is about Beck and his program in Jerusalem. I’ll enjoy the silence.

@Larry Sheldon:

Why don’t you try making your argument without the name calling (jerk, right)?

Now, let’s settle something right here and now: I traveled over 1,000 miles just to go to Glen Beck’s 8-28 rally in Washington, D.C. I traveled to San Antonio to see him again, since I had a meeting the night before and couldn’t make his Houston appearance. I don’t waste my time, or my money on those I don’t appreciate or respect. So get some facts before you go off like a cheap pistol (you could have asked, you know).

And frankly, when it comes to what you want (since you reduce your argument to name calling) I can only say one thing: Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. Apply that same answer to the question as to whether I care what you think of me. I have never subscribed to group think and I am not about to start now.

Perhaps you think by y’all ganging up on me that is going to cause me to back off my beliefs, I just have one suggestion for you; don’t put your hand on your butt until that happens. It will grow to you butt causing you to have pastic surgery to have it removed.

What is sad is that you were never taught any manners. You’re right, it’s not your blog.

@Larry Sheldon:

What is sad is that you were never taught any manners.

Dayum!

The irony meter pegged out, exploded into 5,428 pieces, then fell onto the floor.

Cleanup on Aisle 133.

@retire05:

“Between your earlopes.”

Well, thanks for letting me know that you, like Mata, has to resort to the tactic of insults.

Sigh…there have been no insults in my responses to you. Here’s what I said in its entirety so you can read it again, more slowly this time.

No, what I would prefer is that you refrain from trying to hold others here to rules and expectations that only exist in the area between your earlobes.

Now…where’s the insult there? Oh, that’s right…there isn’t one.

Why are you being dishonest?

@Aye:

Are you having a memory lapse? Did you forget this was said:

“See if people still think you are a jerk.”

In whose world of reality is calling someone a jerk not an insult?

And are you honesty trying to push off that the “earlope” comment was not meant as an insult?

Who’se being dishonest now?

@retire05:

Ummm…. perhaps you should go back and re-read what I wrote.

I quoted it for you to make it very, very easy and you still missed it.

I’m not the one having the lapse here.

@Aye:

OK, y’all have won. I’m gone but before I go, I want to thank Gary for being the only civil player in the game.

But y’all need to learn something; not all of us think alike. Not all of us express ourselves in a fashion that acceptable to your group think philosphy. Not all of us follow like sheeple. Some of us actually think for ourselves, don’t need others to pick up the ramrod in our defense.

One other thing to clear up:

“You might as the around the Guard (if any of them will take to you)”

Nothing but hyperbole, never asking what relationship I might have had with the Guard. But then, after being head of the FRG for six years at Camp Mabry, I don’t think I have to worry about being shunned by anyone in the “Guard.”

Have fun, clones (except Gary), it is obvious that an indepenent thinker threatens you.

retire05, hope to see you back here on the job tomorrow,
bye

@retire05: If that what you read from what I wrote for that time in our nations history, then that your opinion retire. And I am not going to try to dissuade you any more. You are entitled to your beliefs, about people, places, and things.

OK, y’all have won. I’m gone…

Darn…she’s leaving.

I was really hoping that she’d stay long enough to at least attempt to defend her blatant dishonesty.

Oh well. Ta-ta. Adios. Sayonara.
