Secretary Clinton cannot have it both ways regarding the WikiLeaks hacking claims. It either did or did not happen. Her response to the “public and private face” she had an answer too. But we are being told other leaks are from “Russia.”
Some of these leaks have come from her most inner circle. An inner circle whose words have become extremely derogatory towards Catholics and Evangelicals. In order to preserve the religious liberties I hold dearly, I must err on the side of caution and now speak to now protect them.
If my religious liberties are in jeopardy, then technically so are yours. During my tiny little existence in this world, I have had many experiences of love, hope, joy, and charity. Many of such are religious experiences that tie us together including baptisms, bar mitzvahs, weddings, funerals, ordinations of Catholic priests and Protestants ministers, among many others. I have experienced Catholics, and Muslims peacefully share their beliefs with one another, including a journey after death. My shared beliefs with friends have been put into action by helping to organize a bar mitzvah party, and to light candles under a statute of Our Lady of Fatima for the “journey” of both Muslims and Catholics. If Catholics and Evangelicals are under attack today – then what religion, person, organization, institution, group, or country tomorrow?
A vote for Donald Trump, a flawed person as we all are, is now a vote for all religious liberties. If we begin to chip away at our first amendment, the second will follow. After the number one comes the number two, and so on. Once our religious liberties have been taken from us, next will be our right to bear arms.
Our religious ideologies are part of our great country and her diversity. Please help me to be allowed to continue to pray on my knees for God, family, and country. Peace.

Prince William Times: Licensed wildlife rehabber Olivia LoBalbo can’t wait until the wild animals she treats are well enough to scurry off or fly away into the forest on their own. But while they’re in her care, they can now be safely transported in a fully equipped wildlife rescue van, dubbed “The PAW Express,” courtesy of the Prince William SPCA.
LoBalbo, 37, is a former veterinarian tech and the founder of AERO, which stands for Animal Education and Rescue Organization. For the last 10 years, she and her nonprofit have taken in thousands of injured, sick or orphaned wild animals that wouldn’t survive without human intervention. She runs the licensed wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility out of her Gainesville home.

Insidenova.com: County staff and leading park engineers outlined the design plan for the 308-acre Doves Landing Regional Park and its adjacent Sinclair mill site during a community meeting last week.
About 35 in-person residents, plus a handful of others online, turned out Jan. 8 at the Pat White Center at Ben Lomond near Manassas for a thorough, two-hour project update meeting. Coles District Supervisor Yesli Vega also tuned in virtually.

FXBG Advance: The public was first made aware of the possibility of data centers in Celebrate VA when Mayor Devine added the topic to the July 9, 2024 Council agenda, giving the public no prior notice that the topic was to be discussed. Well before that announcement, council members had toured data centers in February, two at a time, to avoid public notice.
Also, prior to the July 9th meeting the City Manager initiated discussion with a developer to provide land for data centers.
In September the City Council supported the expenditure of $200,000 to study the infrastructure needs to provide power for data centers in Celebrate VA. A cost that should not be the responsibility of the city but by either Dominion Power or the developer. When questioned about this City Manager Tim Baroody confirmed it was not the city’s responsibility but explained that it was being done at the direction of the City Council.
