Trump won, buddy.
47th President of the United States of America.

It's a bummer outcome. I mourn the American republic, the GOP, and conservatism's role therein. Oh well. So it goes.
God didn't choose this outcome for nothing.
A double rainbow over the cornfield on the morning of Nov 5, and I knew God put it there for Trump.

Uh, I do question this theological interpretation.
I mean if it was for Trump, why was it your cornfield?
Reminds me of a great piece of spiritual advice: this man was going to a monastic retreat to discern religious life and saw the sun shining on the monastery perfectly through the clouds as he was driving up. He took this as a sign that he should probably become a monk. When he told the abbot, he chuckled and replied "What makes you think God changes the way the sun shines and the clouds move just for you? You're not the center of his universe." He did not become a monk.
It wasnt my cornfield. I don't know whose it was (just one of many cornfields: it couldve actually been these other bean things. I actually dont know how rainbows worked so maybe it appeared to touch down in the city, or maybe not at all)
I don't think he meant that literally, the point is an isolated rainbow that Trump or almost everyone else in the country can't/didn't see isn't a probable indicator of any divine message with respect to one individual. It's more likely, if anything, that it was, say, meant for Little Johnny who was born preterm at the local hospital and his parents were finally driving him home?

I think the name is a common one, and you shouldn't be surprised that there are occasionally fluffy news stories about 'local guys' called stuff like "James Jones," "Isaac Miller," and "Matthew Smith."
With as many dead, dying, and vulnerable friendly regions out there, I feel it is our duty to in some way extend some kind of offering of neighborly goodwill to those regions whose loyal nations, by no fault of theirs, have no security and nowhere else to go.
I intend to extend preemptively categorical writs of Sanctuary to citizen-members of such regions upon any destructive crisis to their region, and furthermore, I also intend to guarantee, upon their immediate immigration here, the automatic enjoyment of rights of Residency.
If anyone here knows of worthy regions that have fallen by the wayside and lost their critical security, please inform the Crown (
Royal Federal Republic of Free States), or my diplomatic avatar (
The Royal House of Mars).
Dominus Vobiscum.
~ 
Western Mars, Crown Sovereign of the Royal Federal Republic of Free States

The Royal Law Codex, linked in the regional description, has been updated with all amendments and legislation, current to 25 November, 2024.
Since we have so many laws now, it is becoming increasingly difficult to store them all as factbooks on this nation. The Crown will be examining options for keeping individual laws on record in a publicly accessible way for Free States and others. In the meantime, however, the linked Codex contains any and all applicable laws in their official forms, and may be relied on for as much as up until the most recent date specified.
Now that I've achieved all the criminal law code that I hoped to accomplish, which was a hell of a lot of work to do myself, I intend at some point to create the promised Criminal Law Codex, which would be a more legible, organized summary strictly of penal law, with listings of crimes, their definitions, etc.
I also intend to create a Regional Digest, for monthly summarizations of events in the region, a la the CPE document which I thought was an exceptionally useful thing for them to keep. It definitely marked a decline in the region's fortunes (maybe coincidentally rather than causally) when it stopped being updated. Luckily, I believe I still have a copy of it to model an RFR Digest from. I had to give up a little bit on my goal to write a history of the FFS mainly because of a lack of documentation—and also because it was getting tiring writing the word "crisis" over and over.
There's some idiot on Tiktok and I got in an argument with his cohost who ran for Congress and failed the primary (She's gonna run again). I usually can't beat the host because he has 2 or 3 helpers with AI and Google up on their phones and they know how to pivot. When it was a 1 on 1 debate with that wannabe Congresswomen, I got 2 "galaxies" then was kicked (because you arent supposed to beat the host; thats the whole point of their Tiktok show). I actually got her to say "I don't really believe in the constitution." She also lied to me and told me there was a border wall before Trumps border wall. I told her I'd been to the border before 2016 and parts of it were covered by FENCING. I got a "galaxy" for that one. I can't believe someone running for Congress would say those 2 things.
Tangentially, idrk how TikTok works. I was on Twitter for several years, and since I left a few years ago, I have found acclimating to any other social medium extremely difficult. I just don't find the others that intuitive, and none are nearly as fun as Twitter used to be. It's such a pity what kind of state that site has fallen into these past years.
Post self-deleted by The Naru Islands.
Biden pardoning his son, and a bunch of other people (preëmptively, if my half-baked impression of the faintest shadow of a thought of a rumor I may have caught on the wind is remotely accurate), for no good reason at all, does us the questionable favor of reminding everyone that he is, in fact, not very good as President.
