Thanks for sharing, I’m not surprised that the usual suspects, Fox News and others aren’t airing Trumps involvement in the Epstein case nor acknowledging Epstein victims with their misogynistic views and disgusting behavior. I honestly rather get my info from independent sources such as Substack media. I have noticed the people in my circle who leaned towards Trump are leaning towards a much more informed tone and changing their output. The polls indicate Trump support on the decline which tells me the people I had to argue with since January are starting to wake up, but let’s not forget there is still a MAGA movement and racially triggered US citizens out there whether or not Trump is involved, he’s just a tip of the iceberg.

Yeah totally. Getting information from sources you trust is really the way to go. The way right-wing media has behaved is predictable, but I think you’re right - more people are starting to see through it. I’m also seeing anecdotally, Republican-leaning people changing their tone. All the polling backs it. GOP support for Trump is weakening and driving down his approval. I assume it’ll only get worse. We still have 1,000 more scandals to go and more tariff fallout before the midterms hit

Yea I was just getting a small bit of Don Lemons show this morning and the story behind Trump and the Saudi Prince who had a journalist killed while Trump admittedly said he bailed him out as I Read from Karen Atillah page, again, I wouldn’t be informed of any of this if we didn’t have independent media reporting. A majority of the problems is a lot of us just didn’t know or want to know what was happening and wanted others to handle the US problems at the top so we can do our daily business but one thing about it, this admin has done its job of waking us up, no longer head in the sand, there’s so much going on that affects us that we can no longer ignore!!

I saw that as well! I am a subscriber to Ground News and love it! Highly recommend it! Thank you for your coverage and putting everything "right here" for us all! I'm angry of our lack of positive culture within our country on all things female and scandal!

Oh awesome. Cool to hear you're already subscribed to Ground News! For sure, it's a great platform. And thank you! More pieces like this will be on the way. And I know, right? It feels like we're backsliding on so many fronts in our culture. Hoping the pendulum swings back (I think there are signs we're on that path).

I do not have radical acceptance. Radical Acceptance Has all.

As a person i can resist and i can accept. Radical Acceptance is not of that at all. Radical Acceptance erases even the idea of accepting because it is too inclusive that nothing and no one is outside of It.

For mental health and personal growth radical acceptance is extremely powerful. But is it that a person must accept or that a person recognizes Acceptance is the reality and they are not separate from That? Here is the confusion. we think we are the doers. We believe that is actually the absolute truth that “i do.” We are doers only insofar as it is practical to speak like that. But we are that through which Life happens.

What if science that has already been discovered revealed to the world that they do not decide what they do on any conscious mind level. Would that terrify them or set them free? The ego would believe then someone is pulling the strings. Ego cannot fathom a reality where control does not exist. This is where resistance may be some sort of safety net for the mind, from the Reality of Love, Beauty…. Radical Acceptance. Our Free Will is Found in and only in, not being the doer. Who could possibly understand that? By who we are comes what we seem to do.

I do not do or have radical acceptance I am because of Radical Acceptance. To the degree it is recognized that That is the nature of all reality, then I am the embodiment of that. All are the embodiment of that. This Is Love. This is Wisdom. Radical Acceptance. It is not a thing to be Possessed. You cannot buy it or sell it. It cannot be stolen or denied to anyone. It is not subject to being lost or found. It doe not diminish with experiences or grow with experiences. It is not subject to us nor are we subject to It. Radical Acceptance Is What I call Life. By this Life we live in the world or wherever we seem to find ourselves. It is always Here and It is always Right Here. Here where you are. Here when you are.

First is the Reality: Radical Acceptance. Then is some context of me in some thing called time and space constructed. These are mental construction in order to experience. They are wonderful gifts but we have made them our prison. In any prison or not, Radical Acceptance Is Fully Here. Everyone Is This.
