2025
What a great 9 days it has been! I know we have heard the phrase “You’ll get tired of winning”. But, nope, I don’t think so. I’m so thrilled, excited and hopeful. I’m so grateful that DJT is back in leadership (visibly) with an amazing team being built & getting to work!
I see that ‘The Dash Matters’ originator, Derek Johnson has now gotten merchandise up on his website with the ‘The Dash Matters’ message. Good for him. I’m glad & he should. His new design offerings (that now include this phrase) are very classic and nice looking, I hope you will check them out. You can find ways to get to him here (shopify) & here (linktree). ALSO his 2nd book has been released. I have ordered a copy & I eagerly await its arrival.
With my current primary responsibilities, my designs and this website are not the main focus for me, but something I really enjoy when I have time available to invest. In 2024 when I was working so much on this website and the design of the items within, I was hoping (like many others, considering the insane inflation and resulting financial challenges) that this (quite large) investment of time, using my education, skills & experience, could bring in extra income for our family. (I think maybe I have not known how to promote the site??)
Also, Derek is the primary voice, certainly not me, with ‘The Dash Matters’ message. He is out in front of people and investing so much time in research & educating and has a very large following. People know to look for ‘the dash matters’ offerings from him. I’m just little ‘ole me, a follower of Derek’s message of Laws & Orders who adores and appreciates it.
Anyway, at some point in 2025 I intend to migrate some of my designs/merchandise over to a new website (www.susanrebeccaart.com) that will have a broader offering of my art beyond (but still include) my MAGA/Patriot/DJT/The Dash Matters designs. That website is not up and running yet, but I will update here when that happens.
Changing subjects:
Though we (USA) have (finally) switched back over into the MAGA mission (visibly & actively), I’m still seeing/experiencing those who continue to be SO blinded by MSM narratives (including flat out lies)… who are still mostly deceived and unaware. And, do you feel it is getting worse? The narratives that continue to be parroted surprise me - - not so much from the media but by their audience. I think with many, at least with the ones I know (not all, but most), their hearts lead them… truly, and they seem to want to extend compassion to all, well, ALL **BUT** those they perceive as evil (which seem to be exclusively MAGA patriots, which is both disappointing and frustrating).
Some also reference faith, and I think there is honor and beauty in that purity of intention, but I am frustrated by the encompassing dynamic of this. Both sides seem to offer Biblical references to opinions, though resulting opinions seem to be so contrasting.
Anyway, I want to be prayerful to try to build bridges if I can, however, most of the folks I know on the left would feel anything that I have created on this site promotes things they hate, certainly a man they hate. Even my conservative friends are both doubtful and critical of the Laws and Orders messaging and certainly Q / Anon ideas. I still stand firm in my beliefs, but what do I do with those?
Is it a waste of breath/energy/time to try to share what we have learned (from years of research) with those who view us with such extreme disdain? And they aren’t shy about letting us know how horrible a person they believe/feel we are (for being MAGA/The Dash Matters/Q/Anon/Patriot) & subsequently that they won’t consider anything we might have to say? My tendency has been, at least over the last 4 years (& increasingly) not to share my knowledge or my beliefs, as I tend to become shut off by / shut out by people I truly love & care about.
There is so much beyond ‘laws and orders’ within the dynamics/scope of right and left going on in our nation… the faith (Christianity) part is the harder part, I think. How can so many people read the same Book (the Bible) and come to such vastly varying conclusions? Additionally, there are many who give NO account to / belief in God, and considering, their contrasting viewpoints & attitudes are (more) understandable since they are rooted differently.
Ok, well, from here & for here I’ve wanted to create art extending from my enthusiasm for likeminded Patriots to enjoy. It has been a therapy & a joy for me, and it has been so fun.
I plan to keep my discounted pricing up for a bit longer. I’ll keep folks updated here in the blog section.
