The only things that kept the fatality totals from being any larger were our kick-ass meteorologists keeping us informed and the fact that we have smaller cities in Mississippi.

A map of confirmed EF-1 - EF-4 tornados that touched down across Southern Mississippi on 3/15 including an EF-4 that stayed on the ground for 65 miles, crossing over the Mississippi state line and hitting Tylertown then went all the way up to Covington County. Then, an EF-3 hit in a direct line beginning AGAIN in Tylertown, up to Northern Marion County north of Columbia, to Southeast Collins, then Northern Covington County up past Taylorsville.

It needs to be soon, and it needs to be coordinated with all of the patriots who have a Mango Mussolini ass-kisser "in charge" of your District. Yes, I'm referencing *THAT* District because may the odds be ever in your favor. #regicide #DistrictEleven

Screen grab from Twitter that says

Sara McGee for Texas HD 132:
It's a wartime act. We have not declared war on Venezuela. Therefore, the use of the order was illegal. Hope that helps!

General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn: Maybe they should return all these savages to
your neighborhood.

Sara McGee for Texas HD 132:
Maybe they should just follow the
constitution and due process, you
unpatriotic scum bag.

A true blue dream of a day, South Mississippi, very early springtime when the leaves on the deciduous trees are still buds but the maple has sent out her red-flag seeds on the wind, and the evergreens are having sex in the air to such an extreme degree that even the PHOTOGRAFT-HAS-A-SOLID-GREEN-FILM-OVER-IT-FROM-ALL-OF-THE-FUCKING-POLLEN-COATING-EVERYTHING-WITH-MASS-ALL-OVER, INSIDE-OR-OUT.

From watching thousands of hours of body work done on horses on Tiktok, I've learned what a release looks like & what in pain body language looks like. I've transferred that to other animals like a 13-year-old chihuahua mix whose joints were killing him during severe weather today. Massage helped!

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing
that the President can unilaterally
deport anyone he wants without
ANY statutory authority, just on his
inherent authority as President over
national security. That is a
terrifying claim to make and has
never been recognized before in US
history.x.com/chrisgeidner/s.

Beyond the statute, the President's inherent Article II authority is plainly
violated by the district court's order. As a function of his inherent Article 1I authority to protect the nation, the President may determine that TdA represents a significant risk to the United States, that it is intertwined and advancing the interests of a foreign
government in a manner antithetical to the interests of the United States, and that its...

Last night's #bloodmoon #eclipse was MAGICAL. A group of #lightningbugs circled around 3 times as the moon reached totality & a Black-crowned Night-Heron barked in the swamp in the woods. This bird sounds like some human's trying to prank you, making weird bird noises. 😂 #witchsky #Birdsky #pagansky

Photo of a Black-crowned Night-Heron perched on a boat dock in a marshy-wetland. The bird is nocturnal and has fire red eye-balls and bright yellow legs and feet, with a body and head in varying colors of grays and black. Photo is by Frank Schulenburg.

It's imperative that you call your power back in times like these. This is how I do that. #witchsky #pagansky #spiritsky #occultsky #esotericsky

I command and call back my
energy across all timelines, and
on all realms, and for people both
knowingly and unknowingly that are
taking this from me.

I command that my energy comes
back charged, free, and clear of
any negative influences, from all
energies and emotions that might
hold me back, I release all energy
that is not of my highest good.

My energy's mine, my energy's
protected, my energy stays
safe-holden. I thank my ancestors
and spirit guides working for my
highest good. As I will it, so mote it
be.

If I were experiencing this, I'd call all of my power back, sain and cleanse myself, then my house, and get out on the grass/ground with bare feet. Imagine yourself reconnecting with all of your guides. You are all holding hands in a circle around a fire. Ask them why they are distant then listen. ❤️
