Stories like this any day are rotten. On Easter Sunday they become even more tragic..
A nation of warring people..
A nation of crime.
‘Twas always thus and always thus will be.

The famed White House Easter Egg roll..



The annual White House Easter Egg Roll goes back a very long time. The playful game, which involves pushing an egg through the grass with a spoon, officially started on the White House grounds in 1878 when President Hayes moved the event from the Capitol and hosted all of Washington for the occasion. 

Through the years, there were different variations on the original activity like egg croquet and egg picking. In fact, the actual egg race wasn’t instituted until the Nixon administration in 1974.

 Since then, it’s become the largest annual public White House event of the year.  Regardless of party affiliation, presidents have it. We assume Trump would still? 


EASTER MAYHEM!!It has to happen somewhere every year.....



EASTER MAYHEM!!

It has to happen somewhere every year.. Congratulations to Orange, Connecticut, for making the list in ‘16..

FROM REPORTS on the chaos:

An Easter egg hunt descended into chaos on Saturday after parents in Orange, Connecticut, stormed the field.

Children as young as four were trampled by adults in a rampage to steal buckets and grab as many of the 9,000 hidden eggs as possible from the third annual free event at the PEZ headquarters.

One four-year-old son was left ‘bloody’ on the sports field and a two-year-old girl was shoved into the mud, witnesses claimed.


Are Your Easter Lilies Poisoning A California Town?

Are Your Easter Lilies Poisoning A California Town?:



Evidence mounts that the intense pesticide use required to cultivate the delicate bulbs is causing health problems for residents and harming populations of endangered species. ..

When the wind is right, the Camerons can smell what Tim calls a “garlicky” odor blowing across the neighborhood. The first time it happened, they jumped in the car and followed the odor to a tractor spraying in a nearby field. After witnessing this several times, they went to a government agricultural office in town and were told a pesticide, fungicide, or nematicide was being applied.

The Camerons both soon developed severe allergies. When Cindy went to a doctor to get a prescription-strength remedy, Tim says, “the doctor mentioned to her, ‘Do you live out in Smith River, where all those lily fields are?’ ” After a talk with the doctor about pesticide exposure, the couple began to worry. They shared their concern with neighbors, who told the Camerons bluntly that the spraying didn’t bother them.

The Camerons are “not activists,” Tim says, and he doesn’t want to raise any fuss. They don’t necessarily attribute the miscarriages to the pesticides, but now his wife wants to move away from Smith River, and he’ll say only, “At this point, I am concerned,” particularly for their young children. Tim feels authorities are not doing enough. He went and talked to the farmer, who apologized. But the spraying continues.

Did parallel universe open? Fears of 'ALIEN PORTAL' after ANOTHER floating city appears

Did parallel universe open? Fears of 'ALIEN PORTAL' after ANOTHER floating city appears :
But the unusual event is thought to have been caused by heavy fog obscuring the lower half of the buildings, or a phenomena known as Fata Morgana, which is a natural mirage that causes visions of cities or moutons in the sky or ships floating above the sea.

CCTV News said of the video: “A stunning mirage depicting a group of buildings was seen above the sea along the port of Dalian in northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Friday.

"Seen from the land, it appeared as though the buildings were looming in the fog, resembling a fairy city on the sea. Take a look at this splendid scene.”

Other viewers wanted more explanation.

Bird lands on Sanders' podium during Portland rally

Bird lands on Sanders' podium during Portland rally :

I watched this a few times today.. The bird landing came before his victories in tonight’s caucuses …



If it’s a sparrow it’s a good sign. If it’s a finch it’s even better..



And when things like this happen–these seemingly strange coincidences surrounding seemingly mundane events–it reminds me of how the bigger picture exists.. How there seems to be a dramatically bigger affair that takes place around us..



How maybe… No coincidences really do exist and a higher order is in power.



Or…. It was just a bird. Just a moment. Just a strange event that will be forgotten by tomorrow.


The DOVE IN DISGUISE joins Bernie on the podium..

'The 100' Showrunner Apologizes for Character Death

'The 100' Showrunner Apologizes for Character Death:

The LGBT community went mad when a main character–a gay character at that–on the show was killed off in dramatic fashion.

The part that was perhaps most unbelievable was how  Jason Rothenberg and others billed the show as a must watch on social media, persuading people to halt their plans and tune into the program for a special episode. When they did, they saw  Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey), the lesbian commander of the Grounders and the love interest of main character Clarke (Eliza Taylor), was killed by a stray bullet meant for Clarke..

He broke his silence on a MEDIUM story..

And the fan reaction–even on the Medium article–continue to be harsh..

The WRAP reports,

Rothenberg retreated into silence on social media in the days and weeks following the episode, while a large sector of the show’s LGBT fanbase channeled their anger and social media power into collecting more than $45,000 — and counting — for the anti-discrimination Trevor Project. Rothenberg also defended his story choices, saying, “The things that divide us as global citizens today don’t matter in this show. And that’s the beauty of science-fiction. We can make a point without preaching. We can say that race, sexuality, gender and disability should not divide us. We can elevate our thinking and take you on a helluva ride at the same time.”

If nothing else, this displays the risks for people using social media to advance something.. especially if that something is going to make a lot of people very very angry..

Socially media at your own social risk…
