survive until November. When she knew she couldn't make it her goal became Rosh Hashanah. Or maybe her family told her it was Rosh Hashanah and she was with her family so the right time to die. Just a theory.

A very brief but powerful time. Many hard aspects have come to pass in these last 72 hours or so.

My quick take is that -45 and MM have played their hand too soon and should have waited until today for embarking on this evil arm of their agenda. I think it's going to be a hard battle all the way but we will prevail as long as we soldier on with determination. And I think we will not know what the election results are for about ten days.

This is the new beginning of the next phase in the efforts to free ourselves from tyranny and eventual enslavement.

an Organizing Force of the Universe. RBG was Jewish, Rosh Hashana falls on the new moon - the beginning of the Days of Awe, when all people are judged. She was probably brought up to somehow believe in "woo."
