The Battle Between Conservative and Liberal Ideals in the World
Progressive liberal influences are affecting Orthodox Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Jews throughout the world. In the news is an article regarding the Catholic church Pope Benedict warns against relaxing priestly- celibacy rules. Pope Benedict resigned from his position and Pope Francis is his successor. Many people guess the reason for his resignation which was very unusual for a Pope to resign. He may have seen that in the future there would be pressure on the Catholic Church to institute reforms and he was not willing to make these changes. One of the changes is being talked about by Pope Francis regarding priestly celibacy rules under the pressures of his opponents that have pressured the church on the issue of immunity of Priests to sexual abuse accusations. Pope Francis has opened the Catholic Church to gays, and has endorsed interfaith dialogue.

Question for Socialist Democrats: “Why Do You Want to Destroy Our Country?”
Since the earliest days of the Obama administration, the (left) Democrats have been moving to establish a Socialist Democracy in the United States. Let’s face it, Obama wore many hats.
Iran is a Socialist country and its powers-to-be are constantly and consistently oppressing its people. It’s easily seen by the number of protestors in the streets of Iran over the last few days that have been crying out for the removal of the Iranian leadership. Those people know that a Socialist country is not a good thing. It’s no secret that Obama paid Iran billions of dollars in bribe money. It could have been tracked to if it were electronically transferred to Iran. Cash only lets them spend it wherever and with whomever, and with no oversight or future explanation of what it was spent on. One thing is certain, they didn’t spend it on the people of Iran.

Trump Open to Negotiations With Iran

2020 started with mass casualties of innocent lives. Iran shot down a Boeing airplane operated by Ukrainian airlines, resulting in the loss of human lives. The attack happened after the US successfully executed (via drone strike) Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in Iraq. It is plausible to believe Iran was trying to murder the Iranian-Canadians on the plane, considering them traitors for leaving the regime.

America Confronts Iran – Democracy vs. Theocracy
The world is waiting to see what type of retaliation will be made by Iran for the assassination of Solimeini their general chief of staff. Iran shot eighteen missiles at US headquarters in Iraq. Democracy is at war with theocracy in the Middle East. In democracy freedom is of first importance in life. In theocracy the law, the Koran, The Torah is most important. Progressive Jewish Spirituality and Baha”i faith teach that freedom and the law are of equal importance but just like God is unknown his law is an unknown law. Koran and Torah are two attempts both claim to be the Law of God but they are in truth the Law of the Israel nation or the Law of the Islamic nation. The prophets like Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Jerimiah taught the truth that there is a third law whose specifics are unknown which is the Law of God. Teach this in a theocracy and you will be put to death immediately.
Pentagon Not Going to Bomb Iranian Cultural Sites

But should Iraq fail to meet the US conditions for a possible retreat, the country will suffer sanctions “like never before,” Trump said.
Progressive Evangelists Rule the World with Trump as Their Leader
President Trump is fighting for America and freedom. He considers Israel his partner because Israel is a democracy supporting America and defending freedom. The goal of President Trump as an Evangelist is to light up the country of America through adding to America faith in God which it is slowing losing. Israel although it is a secular state, the land of Israel represents to Evangelists as the homeland where was born Jesus Christ and his followers. Israel is the land of the Bible.

Trump Doesn’t Need Congress Approval to Attack US Enemies – 35 Terrorist Training Camps in the US

Powerful Iranian General Killed by US Drone Strike – What Will Russia’s Role Be in Any Conflict?
Iran’s Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani has been killed in a drone strike at the Baghdad Airport. The strike was carried out by the US and was ordered by President Donald Trump. Soleimani was a powerful Iranian General and a veteran of the Syrian War.

A New Beginning, a Continuing Political Drama, Cultural Explorations
A New Beginning
I have always thought about the beginning of the new year as filled with hope and possibilities. We can put behind us the mistakes of the past year and can start to build a year filled with the hope that we can accomplish whatever we feel will give us more happiness.
I and my friend, Genesis ( whose name appropriately means birth or beginnings) were talking about how to put some relaxation in our lives to help us cope better with daily responsibilities. The next time I saw her I asked her what she had decided to do and her answer really surprised me. She said that since she was a child, she had always wanted to see a sunrise, and that she and a friend got up at 3:00 AM and did just that. She really looked happy when she showed me pictures of her beautiful sunrise. What I realized then is that what makes each of us happy is very individual and something that only we ourselves can know. I hope this new year all of you will also try to discover whatever it is that you have always wanted to do and plan to make your dream a reality.
Protesters Attack US Embassy in Iraq
Hundreds of protesters attacked the US embassy in Baghdad on Tuesday to protest US bombings that left dozens of Shi’ite militia fighters dead on Sunday.

We’re Sipping Greshun De Bouse Trump, and Triumph Tea
Awesome words about Greshun De Bouse to come as we recall why we all fell in love with Greshun in the first place– she is everything!
Greshun’s 2019 Recap: Winning
As 2019 comes to a close, global leader, app developer, Disabled Veterans Day founder, motivational speaker, living legend, history maker, and our powerful leader-Greshun De Bouse-reflects on Triumph in 2019, Trump, 2020, and the next decade. The year 2019 was a remarkable year for global icon Greshun De Bouse.
- She made history as the only resident of her state in 25 years or likely ever to found a national holiday included/seen in Chase’s Calendar in any library in all 50 U.S. states.
- Greshun was recognized by Mayor of New Orleans, LA-LaToya Cantrell-for her equality and bullying prevention/recovery efforts for kids and families in the world.
- Legendary celebrity actress, Bern Nadette Stanis (aka Thelma from Good Times) showed public support for Greshun in a moving FB post, wherein she praised Greshun for, and encouraged all to support Greshun in her efforts to further assist the disabled and bullied.
- Greshun was deemed reigning Queen-Miss Stuffed Shrimp Scholar 2019-and traveled the globe educating all on the origin and health benefits of stuffed shrimp-including making guest radio/news appearances, and searching for the healthiest stuffed shrimp dish. Malone’s Steak & Seafood-Atlanta, GA. ultimately was declared winner of the Stuffed Shrimp Scholars Taste Competition.
- Greshun De Bouse, founded Disabled Veterans Day, the first proclamation for which was issued to her in the home of Ft. Benning-Columbus, GA-by Mayor Skip Henderson. The holiday now has received proclamations and recognition from mayors, governors, celebrities, and other dignitaries across the globe.
- Greshun De Bouse represented her state at Essence Fest 2019 during which time she interacted and posed for photos with, and was thanked for her positive local and global work by celebrities such as legendary actress Bern Nadette Stanis, Tia Mann-daughter of Tamela and David Mann, and Adrienne Joi Jones, from the iconic film Baby Boy.
- Powerful Greshun De Bouse miraculously survived a would-be fatal auto accident at the hands of a careless driver, while en route to city hall to receive another mayoral proclamation for Disabled Veterans Day. Interestingly, pre-accident, Greshun had been working on developing an app for disabled veterans with PTSD, TBI, and other needs to improve relaxation-memory-cognition and streamline services connectivity.
- Greshun De Bouse was named Mover and Shaker of the Year by MAS Media and continued to receive proclamations and media coverage for Disabled Veterans Day. Eighth, Greshun received a text-vite (a word she popularized) to attend President Trump’s Keep America Great Rally-Dallas, TX.
- All during approximately the same timeframe, Greshun launched the aforementioned app for disabled veterans entitled “DVDAY630” on Google Play and Amazon, was invited to the Governor’s Mansion in Alabama to receive a proclamation from Governor Ivey for Disabled Veterans Day, gives back by donating her time to kids at St. Jude’s-Memphis, TN and is thanked by St. Jude’s CEO for all she does to prevent bullying in kids with cancer-especially during their hairless phase.
- Greshun De Bouse receives a proclamation from Mayor of Tupelo, MS for Disabled Veterans Day, and makes history as the sole American of Color in President Trump’s VIP section, seen just to the left of President Trump (facing the screen) during his speech at KAG Rally-Tupelo. Greshun has made local and national news for her powerfully positive global impact.
Wow! Greshun De Bouse is everything….literally! When asked how she has the energy to do it all, Greshun calmly smiles and says, “When you’re walking in your purpose, you are equipped with all you need to finish your course. For me, it is always about others, acting in a manner that will positively impact all everywhere!”
Triumph and Trump
Throughout her 2019 journey, Greshun has definitely had some would-be challenges or even halters to her good work. But when asked how she still thrives in the face of adversity, these dynamic words came from her mouth:
“I am truly grateful for All of my experiences. You always have a choice. All of the many challenges of 2019 amid my success intended as stumbling blocks, I chose to make them stepping stones to my next chapter.”
Greshun is a true people-person who remains humble and steadfast in all things. Everyone just loves her! But what we all want to know is how if felt being at the Governor’s Mansion and being chosen to sit in President Trump’s VIP section. Sweet Greshun says:
“I take it all in stride. I do what I do for others, because of my love for all-irrespective of individual differences. The Governor’s Mansion is divine and making history is important. I viewed my historical moment in time in Trump’s VIP section as an inclusivity effort indicative of growth on his part at the time. Whether or not it was what I viewed it to be, the truth is, any opportunity is what you make it-so that is what it was for me. I am grateful for all opportunities and experiences.”
How is President Trump?
“This is a broad, non-specific question. Nonetheless, President Trump has seemed personable when I have seen him. He definitely has a following, which is an indicator of how many persons feel about his mannerisms. He can really draw a crowd from what I have observed,” Greshun says.
How do you feel about Trump Naysayers?
“I believe what makes America so great is that all are entitled to feel or think how they choose. What I would like persons to know is speaking truth about observations and such of President Trump or anyone are not necessarily declarations of support or lack thereof. It is simply speaking truth-no more or less.
For example, the legal age to purchase cigarettes and the like in the U.S. is now 21. This is huge, and it is my understanding President Trump is/was the impetus for this occurrence. This is simply speaking truth. When I say President Trump knows how to draw a crowd, that is truth based on my observation/evidence of him doing so repeatedly. That is all. I neither desire to bash anyone, nor excuse any inecusable behavior. I believe all have room for improvement, but there is a tactful way to do anything. Decent and in order is key.”
2020 To Come
Greshun is so wise and powerful. It is amazing that all of these extraordinary gifts and talents are contained in her petite frame. Greshun says in response to what’s next for her in 2020 and the next decade in general, “Prosperity, Greater Greatness, More Than Conquering, and a Multitude of Foot Stools (some will catch this more readily than others)!”
Wow. Prosper Greshun! So be it!
