Cool. Downloading books is one of the most amazing things about this century. I did the same thing from our library although there were some I had to buy second hand. I donated them to the library’s second-hand book store.

If God is reading the news correctly, the US government is deploying two army battalions to Minnesota to distract from their illegal non release of the Epstein files, is that right?

I did my own Agatha Christie challenge two years ago. Read every Miss Marple story in the order she wrote them. I’ve been rereading her works for decades now. My mother recommended one when I was 10 - maybe “And Then There Were None” but more likely it was a Hercule Poirot. I gobbled them up.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.
