My scribbling is starting too late for a reasonable response to Kelly Scoles’ letter. My apologies, Kelly. Old age is always
a suspect excuse for missing a deadline. It also permits me to wear white socks with anything. Such are my dubious
privileges.

Hello again, Kelly,

I am curious to learn whether you credit Trump for anything. Was his creation of the Abraham Accords a good thing? How about
closing the border? How about destroying Iran’s nuclear threat? How about stopping men from entering women’s sports? How
about no more tax on tips and Social Security? How about $3 trillion in new foreign trade? But naming the number of his
successes quickly becomes boring.

Frankly, Kelly, the future of America, in my view, is neither peaceful nor safe according to those numerous acclaimed
mystical Catholic authorities I trust and find worthy of belief. I believe our future can be modified for the better but can
no longer avoid what is called the Chastisement or purification, changing the game completely. My Church, like others, is
critically divided on this issue (prophesy). But that doesn’t change the fact that I am leaning into eternity myself,
preparing with neither fear nor anxiety, and would rather be right and prepared than wrong and unprepared. Of special
interest is a phenomenon called “The Warning”, which is decreed and much discussed in sermons, books (“Revelations” by
Xavier Ayral, also Christi Watkins) with numerous others. The Warning is also referred to as “the Illumination of
Conscience”, said to be universally mandated. Those expected to scoff at the whole idea might at least refer to the hundreds
of most highly regarded religious and secular leaders who support these prophecies, from Popes and exorcists to Biblical
scholars and mystics from centuries past to this day. That’s pretty good provenance and current acceptance. One thing is
certain; if these “mandated” events do not happen, the whole thing is an elaborate fraud. Thus saith me. I’m tired and I’m
calling it a morning.

Good morning!

A brief response to Pat Collins:

Hi, Pat,

Like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland: I’m late, I’m late … no time to say hello, goodbye, I’m late, I’m late’ I’m
late.

News flash! Despite his numerous human flaws (I hope you don’t deny his humanity) Donald Trump is by far the most
“transparent” president in American history. How many press conferences did Biden “the Big Guy” hold? Why hasn’t Mr.
Bobulinski’s laptop testimony been acted upon? I’m getting a headache just thinking about that era of super lies. Let’s just
fight it out over the Epstein scandal, we have three wars to fight.
