Learned that a neighbor (up a few blocks, we see them but not often, but nevertheless a neighbor), has a grandson - young child - undergoing treatment for cancer in a St. Paul hospital. If his body responds to the treatment, the cancer could go into remission. Recovery will be a long journey. His name is Gabriel.
If you could please include his name during your prayers, his family will appreciate it.

Thank you.

NY Mag: Jerome Powell Got Punked by Russian Prank Callers.
...it’s a little jarring to see that on Thursday, the gray-haired Powell was made the butt of a joke by two Russian pranksters crudely posing as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This happened back in January, but Powell apparently thought this call was a private one with the world leader and talked candidly about how a recession was just as likely as it was not, and it is now making the rounds on Russian media and Twitter.
BBC: Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell pranked by Russians.
Comedians Vladimir Krasnov and Alexei Stolyarov - known as Vovan and Lexus - claimed credit for the stunt.

In one of the clips shared on Russian television, Mr Powell praised Russia's central bank chief Elvira Nabiullina for managing the Russian economy amid Western sanctions, according to the BBC Monitoring service.
Other video now circulating on the internet shows Mr Powell describing a sharp slowdown in growth in the US, following the bank's efforts to rein in price rises.
"We would tell you that a recession is almost as likely as very slow growth," he said of expectations for 2023. "I think that is partly because of us having raised rates quite a bit but this is what it takes to get inflation down."
[.]
"Embarrassing moment for the Fed," chimed in Jesse Cohen, global markets analyst at Investing.com.
"Embarrassing moment for the Fed." Ya think?
Powell needs to go. Didn't care for his policies during Trump's term, he shouldn't have been appointed, still don't care for his policies.
This wasn't a perfect phone call. Resign.
Five SMODS today. FIVE!
All of them disappointing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Collective sigh and groaning.)
NASA's SMOD page may appear different than the above snap shot depending when you view it and when they update their site. It updates the closest five SMODs as they approach Earf.
And where are the aliens? They'll land moments after a global financial collapse. This, we do know.

How are you doing, morally, these days?
The test is 24 questions. It takes about a minute to complete.
You answer by using your cursor to slide the "white box" to the left or right for each question.
Sliding the white box all the way one way or the other is "strongly" agree or disagree. Sliding it part way is a basic "agree" or "disagree." You might be able to leave the box where it's at as a "neutral" response but I didn't try that. I answered each question with a slide one way or the other.
My score is "Neutral Good:"😎
Neutral Good:
Individuals who are Neutral Good are
directed by their still, small voice and commonly act unselfishly, with
just auxiliary respect for whether their activities are lawful or in
accordance with social assumptions or customs. Neutral Good people
generally approve of what is legal in that capacity and are not
naturally rebels, yet they have faith in assisting with thoughtfulness
and great deeds through whatever means appear to be important to them.
Encouraging great deeds by supporting coordinated society, if that is
what the situation prescribes, but jumping on the off chance to go
against the grain when this is what is needed. Neutral Good individuals
strike a balance between rebellion and order, with emphasis on one or
the other viewed as an impairment to the more prominent objective of
advancing genuine humanitarian aims across the planet.

RT: Musk claims Twitter HQ landlord rejected homeless shelter plan.
Twitter owner Elon Musk has blamed his landlord for shooting down a proposal to use vacant office space at the social media company’s headquarters in San Francisco to help ease the city’s homeless crisis.
“We tried to turn it into a homeless shelter,” Musk said on Tuesday night in a BBC News interview. “They (the owners) won’t let us.” He added, “We’re only using one of the buildings, so the other building could be a homeless shelter.
Elon provides a partial solution.
Liberal Reaction: "We didn't think of this so we don't like the idea. What? Elon suggested it? Double-Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

Other slang that may draw FBI scrutiny includes "Looksmaxxing" and "LARPing". Read more at:
NY Post: FBI documents associate internet slang like "based" and "red pill" with "extremism".
New documents released Monday warned that common internet lingo is being associated with “Violent Extremism” by the FBI.

Many of the terms mentioned in the FBI’s list of incel terminology are either widely used across the internet or innocuous in nature.
"Lingo"? 🤣 Groovy Baybee. Very Hip.
"It was just like those incels Chad and Stacey, who are based and red pilled, to say, 'Hey, it's over. Just be first.' They both are Looksmaxxing. Their LARPing is tedious."
^ This is how the FBI, under AG Merrick Garland's DOJ and, Biden and his Handlers, spends its time...¯\_(ツ)_/¯...
