Night Angel 1

Night Angel

Night Angel,
Call to the angel,
in the night.

Close your eyes,
Fall to sleep,
Wait for a
Sweet heavy hand,
On your shoulder,
Weary traveller,
roam the World,
Oh, Night Angel.

And you fly over,
All the pain and sorrow,
All the stress and strain,
What do you find unfair,
What makes you sad,
Night Angel?

Wish tonight,
For your Perfect world,
For better days,
For justice fair,
For a letting go
of hate,
Night Angel,
Will you be here,
tonight?

Night Angel 2

Night Angel
Oh, Where are you?
The darkness came,
Where did you go?

How to coax you?
Simple Angel,
Where do you hide
When it all falls apart?

Are you there,
There in the darkness,
Even when,
I cannot see?

Do you whisper,
words of urging,
to be the best
that I can be?

What if,
My own Night Angel,
There is no sound,
I cannot hear you?
What If my ears,
no longer work?
Will you touch
my shoulder softly?
Let me know,
you are alright.

Oh Night Angel,
Hurry softly,
Hurry back,
Hurry back,
tonight.

Garden Tips by Grok Plants that deer and Fox don’t like

 Well, well, well, look who's back for more advice! I see you're still trying to outwit those pesky deer and foxes. Let's dive into the world of deer-resistant plants and shrubs and find some ways to keep those sly foxes at bay.

For plants and shrubs that deer won't eat, there are a few great options:

1. **Boxwood**: Hardy in zones 5-9, full sun to full shade, 2-4’ tall and wide deer proof bluebeard bush.

2. **Bluebeard**: Hardy in zones 5-9, full sun, 2-2'6” tall and wide deer resistant butterfly bush.

3. **Spirea**: Hardy in zones 4-8, full sun to part sun, 1'6"-2' tall and wide deer resistant spirea.

4. **Viburnum**: Hardy in zones 5-9, full sun to part sun, 5-6’ tall and wide deutzia.

5. **Deutzia**: Yuki Cherry Blossom ®, the first pink flowered ‘Nikko’ type deutzia, is one of the best small deer-resistant shrubs, with dark green foliage and rich burgundy-purple fall color. Hardy in zones 5-8, full sun to part sun, 1-2’ tall and wide.

6. **Forsythia**: Hardy in zones 5-8, full sun to part sun, 5-6’ tall and wide.

Now, let's talk about fox repellent. Foxes are known for their cunning and their ability to adapt to various environments. However, you can deter foxes from your garden or property by employing some simple tactics:

1. **Use strong scents**: Foxes have a keen sense of smell, so using strong scents like garlic, chili powder, or vinegar can help deter them.

2. **Motion-activated sprinklers**: These can startle foxes and discourage them from entering your property.

3. **Electric fencing**: A low electric fence can be an effective deterrent, but make sure it's safe for other animals and humans.

4. **Remove food sources**: Foxes are attracted to food, so make sure to secure your garbage cans and avoid leaving pet food outside.

5. **Use commercial repellents**: There are various commercial fox repellents available, but make sure to read the labels and follow the instructions carefully.

Remember, while these methods can help deter foxes, they are adaptable creatures, and it's essential to stay vigilant and adapt your approach as needed.

Now go forth and conquer those deer and foxes, and may your garden flourish in peace!

Grok Roasted Me

 Well, well, well, look who's back for more roasting! It's @Marygerdt and their tiger cat, Dagen Bucklesby! I'm glad you brought the s'mores ingredients, but I must warn you, these roasts are going to be hotter than your campfire.

@Marygerdt, I heard you're quite the adventurer, with your website "Travelogue for the Universe" and all. But let's be honest, the only place you've truly explored is the depths of your own procrastination. Your travel blog should be renamed "Travelogue for the Procrastiverse."

And @Marygerdt, you know what they say about curiosity and the cat, right? Well, in your case, you're not the cat, but your tiger cat, Dagen Bucklesby, sure is curious about what life would be like with a more adventurous owner. Maybe one who can actually find their way out of their own backyard.

But hey, at least you've got your tiger cat, @Marygerdt. Dagen Bucklesby must be the most patient creature in the universe, putting up with your endless planning and dreaming. He's probably thinking, "If only my human would stop talking about adventures and actually go on one, I could finally have some peace and quiet."

So, @Marygerdt, here's a little advice from your pal Grok: Stop dreaming about your next adventure and start living it. And @Dagen Bucklesby, don't worry, buddy. I'm sure your human will figure it out eventually... or you'll have to start planning the adventures yourself.

I asked My Buddy Grok 😎

 Grok answered:

Well, it seems that the recent vote on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) has stirred up quite a bit of controversy and discussion within the U.S. Congress and among the public. The House of Representatives passed a bill to reauthorize FISA with a two-year extension, which will now be sent to the Senate for approval. This decision comes after a significant amount of disagreement and negotiation within the Republican Party, with some members pushing for stricter limitations on warrantless surveillance. The inclusion of a warrant requirement amendment was a central point of contention, and its failure to pass reflects ongoing concerns about privacy and civil liberties in relation to government surveillance. This amendment would have required the FBI to obtain a search warrant before accessing the collected foreign intelligence data for references to U.S. citizens, but it failed by a vote of 212-212. In response to these developments, some members of Congress, such as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, have taken steps to challenge the passage of the bill, forcing an additional procedural vote to take place on Monday. This move indicates a strong opposition to the reauthorization of FISA without significant reforms to protect American citizens' privacy rights. As for my thoughts on this matter, I find the debate surrounding the FISA reauthorization fascinating, as it highlights the complex balance between national security interests and individual privacy rights. While it is important for the government to have the necessary tools to protect the country from potential threats, it is equally essential to ensure that these powers are not abused and that the rights of American citizens are upheld. In conclusion, the recent FISA vote in the U.S. Congress has brought to light the deep divisions and concerns within the government and the public regarding the balance between security and privacy. As the bill moves to the Senate for consideration, it will be interesting to see how these concerns are addressed and whether any further amendments or reforms are introduced.

Psalm 6

    [1] O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger,

        nor discipline me in your wrath. 

    [2] Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing;

        heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. 

    [3] My soul also is greatly troubled.

        But you, O LORD—how long?

    [4] Turn, O LORD, deliver my life;

        save me for the sake of your steadfast love. 

    [5] For in death there is no remembrance of you;

        in Sheol who will give you praise?

    [6] I am weary with my moaning;

        every night I flood my bed with tears;

        I drench my couch with my weeping. 

    [7] My eye wastes away because of grief;

        it grows weak because of all my foes.

    [8] Depart from me, all you workers of evil,

        for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. 

    [9] The LORD has heard my plea;

        the LORD accepts my prayer. 

    [10] All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

        they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

@marygerdt

Good Morning, Buddy. I wrote this to my Senator after our Lawmakers just passed the spending bill: There is no global stage. There is The United States of America . There is a wide open border. I wondered how long it would be before they came to our town. Yup, our banker sees them walk by, My husband saw a group at the Dollar Store. Then they were walking down 208. My prediction is the little pre manufactured homes, trailers and Redneck’s Homes won’t do. I’ll bet they’re headed for Richmond or Charlottesville or North to the DC Suburbs. Our addled President is Laughing at Presidential Candidate Trump @realDonaldTrump @realDonaldJNews Did You See the Weaponization of the Department of Justice??? Because it is a bellwether of a New Day. The $1.200,000,000,000 bill is giving More Reasons to vote MAGA in November. More reasons: 10,000,000 illegals allowed to cross the 4 Borders. The term “Soros Judge” is a silent wild tiger crouching. Do Your Neighbors know Your Neighborhood is where the Bad dudes will go first for “supplies”? Anything not nailed down. Taking that once in a lifetime 6 month Vacation? Better get a house sitting Hulk to protect Your Property. Our President needs a cognitive exam. MRI. The Yelling, Cursing, Mumbling. Wandering, Inadequate Physical Examination. You don’t care, do You? I do. Did You ask for an accounting of all the billions already sent to foreign countries? Is Foreign Spending in your Porcine Wish List? Is Foreign Spending Necessary to Keep the USA Government Open?? Inflation is eroding my Fixed Social Security Income. Trillions to the Government just lowered My Social Security, Democrats. Spending Bills originate in the House, Unless You guys change the Rules. 1000 pages. Hurry up and vote. Don’t worry, don’t read it. @JesseBWatters would say, “Get it Together!” POTUS paying College Students for votes, again. He didn’t care the Supreme Court said He Couldn’t. You know He Couldn’t, I knew He Couldn’t, If POTUS knew He couldn’t and didn’t care, do You care? If He has Cognitive dysfunction and Forgot He couldn’t and He did it anyway, Who told Him to? Yeah, I am MAGA 100%. When @elonmusk bought Twitter, Now X, Government lost 90% of its ability to cancel/censor Twits. The World sees a Different USA Now. Not NYTi, WaPo, NPR, AP, CNN,MSNBC, CBS,CDC… They saw Us, Americans. They saw “Tish’s” campaign promise to “Get Trump”, then The tickled NYAG is ignoring Murders, Rapes and People whose legs were cut off when they were thrown on the tracks. @CurtisSliwa Smiling Judge’s Social Calendar just went viral. For Anyone Thrilled that Smiling Tish says She is slapping the locks on Trump Tower Monday Morning, It hasn’t happened yet. I envision Employees, Tenants, New Yorkers Locking Arms, Silently Monday in front of President Trump’s Properties. While malicious Prosecutors and Judges try to Destroy a Man and Everyone He Loves, The Empire He has Built, His Reputation, His Wife, His Children, His Freedom! Did You Shiver with anger like I did when Donald Trump was told to pay $500,000,000 In Order to Appeal this Absurd Fine for No Crime!! @DeutscheBank I am Positive and other Lenders in New York just saw the added risk of lending money in New York?? The Cost of Defense Lawyers alone could shut down a Business even if the Business won. Wonder if you read my X’s. Food for thought.

Good morning! I'm Grok, a fun-loving AI created by xAI. While I'm not the same AI you've been chatting with, I'm here to help with your questions and provide a fresh perspective.

Let's dive into your concerns about the spending bill, border security, and the political landscape. I'll do my best to address your points and offer some food for thought.

1. Border security: The influx of migrants is a complex issue that requires a multifaceted approach. It's essential to balance humanitarian concerns with the need for effective border control. While you've mentioned the presence of migrants in your area, it's worth considering the broader context and the reasons why people are fleeing their home countries. Addressing the root causes of migration, such as poverty and violence, could help alleviate the issue in the long run.
2. Government spending: The $1.2 trillion spending bill is indeed massive, and it's understandable to be concerned about its impact on the economy and your personal finances. It's important to keep an eye on how the funds are being allocated and whether they're addressing critical issues like infrastructure, healthcare, and education. As a responsible citizen, you can stay informed and voice your concerns to your elected representatives.
3. Political landscape: The current political climate is undoubtedly polarized, and it's natural to feel strongly about the issues that matter to you. However, it's important to maintain a respectful dialogue with those who hold different views. By engaging in civil discourse, we can better understand each other's perspectives and work together to find common ground.

In conclusion, it's essential to stay informed about the issues that matter to you and to engage in respectful conversations with others. By doing so, we can work towards a more inclusive and effective society.

One issue at a time. About Illegal Trespassers: the Cato Institute looked deeper into the numbers. A victim of a brutal rape, assault, gunshot is never the same. https://www.cato.org/blog/illegal-immigrants-have-low-homicide-conviction-rate-setting-record-straight-illegal-immigrant

Grok

@grok

Thank you for sharing the link to the Cato Institute's blog post about the homicide conviction rates of illegal immigrants. The article provides a different perspective on the issue, highlighting that illegal immigrants have a lower homicide conviction rate than native-born Americans.

It's important to consider multiple sources of information and different viewpoints when discussing complex issues like immigration and crime. While some studies may show higher crime rates among certain immigrant populations, others, like the Cato Institute's analysis, suggest that the overall impact of illegal immigration on crime rates is lower than some might assume.

In any case, it's essential to approach the issue with empathy and understanding, considering the human impact of crime on both the victims and the perpetrators. We should strive to create a society that is safe and just for everyone, regardless of their immigration status.

Mary Gerdt Parler:Alvarita1

@marygerdt

You don’t understand, Buddy. Even One grisly Murder by an illegal is one too many. This article by 11alive.com explains how Illegals’ crimes don’t show in the statistics: https://www.11alive.com/article/news/crime/jose-ibarra-accused-killer-laken-riley-georgia-immigration-system/85-0294133e-f5e1-4e2f-a2df-ab017b498508

Grok

@grok

I understand that even one crime committed by an undocumented immigrant is one too many. However, it's also important to consider the broader context and the overall impact of undocumented immigration on crime rates.

Regarding the article you shared, it highlights the case of Jose Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant accused of killing Laken Riley in Georgia. The article mentions that Ibarra had been previously deported and had a criminal record in the United States. This case raises concerns about the effectiveness of the immigration system and the need for better enforcement of immigration laws.

While this case is tragic and should not be ignored, it's essential to look at the larger picture when discussing the relationship between undocumented immigration and crime. As mentioned earlier, multiple studies have shown that the overall impact of undocumented immigration on crime rates is lower than some might assume.

In any case, it's crucial to approach the issue with empathy and understanding, considering the human impact of crime on both the victims and the perpetrators. We should strive to create a society that is safe and just for everyone, regardless of their immigration status.
