A woman who says she was sexually assaulted by a St. FX football player has launched a civil lawsuit against the Nova Scotia university. The woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, is one of four women who accuse Omogbolahan (Teddy) Jegede of assaulting them while they were all students at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S. The lawsuit, filed in Nova Scotia Supreme Court this week, alleges St. FX failed to properly perform its duties to oversee the care, control and protection of students. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages. In a statement released after the lawsuit was filed, the woman said, "the trauma from a sexual assault is devastating." She said learning that St. FX had received other complaints about the player, who was living on campus, but "failed to protect the St. FX community is re-victimizing."

Mary Ellen Spook Farm
In January of 1922, farmer Alexander MacDonald, his wife Janet, and their adopted daughter Mary Ellen fled their home in Caledonia Mills, Nova Scotia after a rash of poltergeist activity, including more than 30 unexplained fires. Though several researchers, journalists, detectives, and paranormal investigators would eventually examine the farm and house, the so-called “fire spook” was never fully explained.
The poltergeist activity that had plagued the household for almost an entire year included moving the cattle around when no one was in the barn, mixing ashes into the stored milk, and even braiding the tails of horses. Most notable, however, were the fires which earned the haunting its name.
The fires would spring up spontaneously all over the house and grounds, often far from the hearth or any other source of a spark. Everything from wallpaper to wet towels were said to burst into flame: it got so bad that the family organized a kind of “neighborhood watch” to guard against arsonists, though none were ever found. Eventually, the family fled the property for good.
Once the family moved out of the house, journalists and would-be paranormal investigators moved in. Even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was invited to explore the phenomena. Some of the most notable accounts include those of Harold Whidden, a reporter from the Halifax Herald, and police detective Peachey Carroll, who spent two nights in the house. During this time they both experienced several odd events, including the feeling of being slapped on the arm and face by phantom hands. Whidden was so troubled by his experiences that he never published them in his lifetime, though they have since been released by his family.
Another prominent investigator who visited the home for several days was Dr. Walker Franklin Prince, who concluded that the poltergeist activity emanated from the family’s then-15-year-old adopted daughter, Mary Ellen–this in spite of the fact that Dr. Prince, himself, experienced no unusual phenomena during his stay. Members of the family were even brought back to the house during his investigation in an attempt to “trigger” the ghost. Dr. Prince did, however, report unexplained rapping noises in his office back in New York for several weeks after he had completed his investigation into the Caledonia Mills “Spook Farm.”
Unfortunately for Mary Ellen, Dr. Prince’s suggestion that she was the cause, albeit unknowingly, of the fires and other poltergeist activity stuck with her throughout her life. People began calling her Mary Ellen Spook, and, according to some accounts, she was even confined to an asylum for many years. Regardless of the cause, after she and her family moved away from the farm in Caledonia Mills, the phenomena ceased.
However, that wasn’t the end of the story of the Caledonia Mills Spook Farm. Over the years, several other explanations have been put forth as new detectives attempt to solve the mystery. Edward J. O’Brien, a lecturer who stopped off at the nearby St. Francis Xavier University, posited that the fires might have been caused by radio waves passing through Caledonia Mills between the radio towers at Wellfleet, Massachusetts, and Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, though to modern science that theory sounds perhaps even more preposterous than “fire spooks.”
Arsonist or no, the Caledonia Mills legend persists. Even today, long after the farm and house have disappeared, people say that if you take home any item from the property, your house will burn down. According to one couple, who call themselves P.O.N.I. (Pair of Normal Investigators), “This has been tested by regular every day people and the buildings always catch fire.”

For the young Logan au how do the X-men meet him exactly? And also any other headcanons? 🙏
For Clarity, this will Once Again be Feral Baby Logan. The X-Men Adults in this Universe are: Beast, Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Colossus, and Young X-Men (still older than Logan) are: Iceman, Angel, and Kitty Pryde.
We're going to do this in the Angstiest way possible: The Original Canon.
Xavier finds about a Mutant: Weapon X. Part of a strange project being conducted in Canada. What he doesn't know until he gets there is that Weapon X is a 16 year old boy.
It goes a little like this:
Charles speaks with the Canadian government after finding out about a program involving Mutants. In exchange for not doing anything...too severe, they promise to allow him to pitch his offer to Weapon X himself. He is 'invited' into the facility in Quebec, and waits in the Conference room for the head of the program to arrive with the mutant. He's debating calling in Scott by the time he hears footsteps outside the room.
Stryker starts sweating as soon as he sees the telepath. Still, he's remarkably composed for someone who has been experimenting on mutants, and is being faced with The Representative for Mutants.
"Alrighty, I'm here! What could have brought the Charles Xavier to our doorstep?" Silence. And then the sound of thundering footsteps. If possible, Stryker's face goes more white as he whips around to slam the door shut.
He just gets his hand on the handle when it slams open, pushing him into the wall with so much force he topples over
"Who's the bigwig you're talking to without me, old man?!"
... It's the voice of a young man. A very young man.
He's in a thick suit, similar to Xavier's X-Men, but more militaristic, with a ... a collar. A very thick, seamless metal collar. His hair is plastered to his forehead, like he was just hosed down, with a snarl on his face showing off sharp, animalistic teeth.
Charles feels nausea swirl in his gut. 'If this is who I think it is...'
"I am the 'Bigwig'. Wolverine, correct? I am Professor Charles Xavier, at your service." He smiles genially, hoping to let the boy know that he is safe.
Wolverine sneers. "Obviously it's me." He looks to Stryker. "Am I supposed to be impressed by some Professor?"
Stryker finishes straightening his suit and puts a heavy hand on Wolverine's shoulder. Xavier can feel Wolverine tense, but he doesn't pull away.
"Apparently, the brass is impressed. All I know is that he's here to make you some sort of offer." 'He better not take it if he knows what's good for him.'
Wolverine's eye's glint, and he leans closer to the Professor.
"An offer? Okay, what's your deal?"
One chance Charles. He swallows. "I know of your recent battles. And more, I know of your powers. You, child, are a Mutant. And I have a need of mutants-"
"Hey! I'm not some fucking ki-"
"-I am Offering you a chance to become a free agent!" 'I am offering you a chance to become free!'
Wolverine pauses. His eyes widen and flick between Stryker and the Professor. He lets out a long, slow breath, sets his jaw and nods.
"What the hell, I'll do it." His posture is carefully casual, juxtaposed by Stryker's meaty hands grabbing his shoulders to spin him around.
"Not so fast! The government has invested a great deal of time and Money into i-him" He looks down at the boy, who's eyes stay locked with Xavier's.
"If you try walking out on us, I'll have you locked up!"
"Well this is a free country, isn't it? Besides, you're not my legal guardian, the government is, and they said I could!" At this, Wolverine pops his infamous claws. As blood trickles down his knuckles, Stryker's hand flies to his pocket, and they both freeze. C'mon kid, try it! There's a reason we put that damn thing on you!
Xavier holds up a finger, and the metaphorical standstill become much more real.
"I believe Wolverine has made his choice. I shall take him with me, and any of his belonging will be sent to my school by next week, is that alright with you, Commander?"
Stryker grunts, and Xavier retracts his powers from their minds. Logan steps back, looking visibly unsure for the first time.
"Whatever. You're going to need this." he hands Xavier a remote. "He's an animal sometimes. We'll see how long it takes you to return him." He's still chuckling to himself when the door closes.
✩~✩~ Skip to Boarding the Plane ~✩~✩
It takes them some time to actually get out of the building. Wolverine stops by his room and fills up a small bag with items, and Charle's is given a thick folder on information on Wolverines mutations as well as how to 'take care of him'.
The team is waiting for them to board. Xavier hasn't told them of his discovery, deciding that instability would be better handled once they're on the plane and away from humans. What he doesn't expect, however, is Wolverines reactions to the team. He stands as far as he can from both Xavier and the team as they make their introductions
Scott reaches out for a handshake, but it hangs in the air awkwardly as Wolverine glares at it. After a few uncomfortable seconds, he lowers it and just introduces himself.
"I'm Scott Summers, also known as Cyclopes. And you are...?"
At this, the boy scoffs. "My name is Wolverine. Shouldn't you know it, since you all came for me?"
Scott grits his teeth, shock and anger flicking through his mind. 'Seriously professor? A kid?!' Everyone else is worse at hiding their shock. A thunderous crack is heard as lightning strikes near the entrance of the facility, and the room trembles as Jean's powers begin to make things float.
'Now, X-Men, I know this is a surprise, but please maintain your composure. Although it may not be visible, he is nervous about meeting other mutants for the first time.'
Things settle, and the sky once again clears.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Wolverine, I am Storm, also known as Ororo Munroe. I will be flying us back." She nods, and heads to the cockpit.
"I am Colossus, little lad! My real name is Piotr Rasputin!" He steps forward, as though to pull Wolverine to him
The boy adjusts his stance to be a little further away, and growls, "I am not little! And don't touch me, fuckwad."
Colossus coughs awkwardly at the violent response, and then mumbles, "Of-of course. Ah, I believe I shall go see how Storm is doing."
Charles inclines his head towards Jean, would you mind looking into his collar? There is no visible seal, and I do not have the knowledge to remove it. You have been spending time with Hank, so I hope you can be of some help.'
'Of course Professor'
Jean approaches, and gently puts her hand on his bicep. She smiles down at him and says, "I'm sorry about the shaking Wolverine, I tend to have some trouble containing my abilities. My name is Jean Grey. How about you sit in the back with me? I'd like to take a look at that collar, if possible?"
Wolverine looks away, a light pink brushing his cheeks. "Sure. Whatever."
Oh my.
Scott's head whips over, and he opens his mouth to say he'll stay in the back as well, but Xavier steps in. "That sounds great, Jean. Cyclops, let's go to the front so the plane can take off. I believe it is almost time for dinner."
It doesn't end there, but that's all I have to give today :p
Beginning dialogue modified from the original Giant Size X-Men (1975) Issue #1
I will also upload how they meet in the Evolution AU....soon. This took A Bit, mostly because I'm super finnicky and it's been a hot minute since I wrote anything.

Update on a crime the news media refuses to call femicide
TINLEY PARK, Ill. (CBS) -- A father has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of his three daughters and wife inside a home in Tinley Park on Sunday.
Maher Kassem, 63, was charged Tuesday with four counts of first-degree murder, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. At his initial court appearance, prosecutors an argument led to Kassem using two guns to first shoot his wife and then, after stepping over her body, his three daughters. 
Tumblr media
Maher KassemTINLEY PARK POLICE
The victims were identified as Majeda Kassem, 53; twins Halema Kassem, 25, and Hanan Kassem, 24; and Zahia Kassem, 25. 
Officials said Kassem shot his wife, Majeda, seven times, and each daughter was shot twice. The Kassems' 19-year-old son was in the home but was not physically injured. The women's bodies were found in the basement. 
Authorities also said Kassem was cooperative with police and admitted to the shooting. Kassem indicated the fight started over the family's finances. 
Prosecutors said the shooting took place after an argument on Sunday morning between the father and one of his daughters. That prompted his wife and two other daughters to get involved and urge him to calm down.
CBS 2 first reported Monday that there was a witness to the crime. That witness was identified in court as Maher Kassem's 19-year-old son.
Amid all the yelling, the son – who was sleeping at the time – woke up and went to see what was going on. He would later hear gunshots and first found his mother and two of his sisters fatally shot. He walked in moments before his father shot the third daughter.
Police said the father never turned the gun toward his son.
Tumblr media
Left: Halema Kassem, Right: Zahia and HalemaPHOTOS SUPPLIED TO CBS
Around 11:20 a.m. Sunday, police responded to a report of the shooting in the 7400 block of West 173rd Street.
Village Manager Pat Carr said a male - who police later said was Kassem - made a 911 call saying someone was shot in the residence, and and police found his wife and four daughters dead at the scene. Police recovered two guns at the scene.
When police asked Kassem where his family was, prosecutors said, "the defendant pointed in the direction of the basement. The officer asked the defendant who else was there, and the defendant stated, 'They're gone.'"
Prosecutors said Kassem appeared to be disgruntled over how he was treated at home.
"The defendant was recorded volunteering things about having just retired, and that 'She treats me like a [expletive] dog," said Cook County Assistant State's Attorney Scott Clark. "'I worked 40 years.' and 'I worked all my life to give my family a better home and they treat me like [expletive].'"
Police said there had been no record of police interaction at the home.  
Meanwhile, hundreds of mourners gathered at the Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview for a prayer in honor of the four women who were killed in what police called a senseless act of domestic violence, something they hope is addressed more in the community.
"It's about not only mental illness, but control and abuse so it's something that it's important," said Fida Zoubeidi, who attended the prayer service. "We need to keep our eyes open."
Funeral services for the women were held Tuesday night. Mourners gathered one by one for a vigil – hours after the mother and three adult sisters were buried.
Hanan Kassem had recently graduated from St. Xavier University with a master's degree in speech therapy.
"I would say that she lit up a room - you know, like you could talk to her about anything," said classmate Corinna Olsen.
Olsen wishes she could talk to her friend one more time. Instead, she and so many are puzzled with the circumstances of the quadruple murder.
"Very, very shocking," said Olsen. "You know, expect this to happen to someone that you know."
Off camera, the nephew of Maher Kassem said the family is torn – shocked at the crime his uncle is accused of committing against a family for which he seemed to care so deeply. 
The nephew added that the family does not know the man who prosecutors are portraying as having committed such a crime. He said prior to Sunday, his uncle really would have done anything for his family members.
Kassem will be due back in court on Feb. 16.
I'm going to take a guess that once he retired he expected to be waited upon like the "man of the house". Instead he was asked to pick up after himself. And instead of accepting that he's s grown man he complained about being treated like a dog. Just based on how a lot of couples divorce after one of them, usually the man, retires and becomes a pest around the house.

Dorelle Heisel Plumbed Brain Mysteries And Psychedelicized Cincinnati’s Social Circles
Dorelle Markley Heisel called Cincinnati her home for several decades, but her mind was in another dimension. She was known as “Cincinnati’s Brain Lady” and held college faculty positions in literature, psychology and fine art. She pioneered biofeedback techniques to control mental and bodily functions while introducing Cincinnati’s strait-laced society to the psychedelic subculture of the Sixties.
Virginia Dorelle Markley was born in 1917 in Danville, Illinois but spent her childhood shuttling between her father’s Palm Beach restaurant and her mother’s St. Louis hotel. At DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, she was student royalty – literally – voted May Queen in her senior year.
It was at DePauw that she met and became engaged to W. Donald Heisel, a Cincinnati native and Western Hills High School alumnus. At the time of his 1940 marriage to Dorelle, Heisel was assistant secretary to Cincinnati’s Civil Service Commission and was, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer [21 May 1940] “one of the city’s youngest executives.” The Heisels built a new house on a quiet cul de sac in Westwood, where they raised two daughters.
Don Heisel earned a reputation as the “godfather of public administration in the Tristate” [Cincinnati Enquirer 6 March 1988] because of the many governmental officials he mentored at the University of Cincinnati and at Xavier University. Dorelle, who had earned a degree in English from DePauw, added a bachelor’s (1952) and master’s (1965) in education from UC while also taking classes at the Cincinnati Art Academy.
Dorelle taught English for several years in Cincinnati high schools and at the Ohio Mechanics Institute. During the summers she was a fixture at Pogue’s Department Store. Hundreds of Queen City baby boomers likely display pastel portraits of themselves, sketched by Dorelle at her stand in the Pogue’s children’s department. She hated the drab institutional brown walls in her husband’s office, so one day she hauled her pastels over to City Hall and executed a large mural of the Cincinnati skyline, drawn from memory.
Tumblr media
UC’s University College recruited Dorelle in the mid-1960s and she flourished there, teaching literature, art appreciation and psychology. With assistance from the Procter & Gamble company, she brought innovative technology into her classrooms with a push-button feedback device that allowed students to register immediate opinions regarding class content. She told the Cincinnati Post [14 March 1968]:
“When students become frustrated with a lecture or feel lost or just plain bored, they can indicate their anxiety by signaling me on the monitor.”
Dorelle’s interest in media and their effects on human communication led her to Canadian theorist Marshall McLuhan, known for his books “Understanding Media” and “The Medium Is The Massage.” Among the earliest mentions of McLuhan in Cincinnati newspapers is a reference to a 1966 Evening College class taught by Dorelle to introduce the Canadian theorist’s ideas to Cincinnati.
Simultaneously with her investigations of media and biofeedback, Dorelle dove into what was then known as the human potential movement. She presided over a multi-week UC Evening College class titled “Actualizing Your Potential: A Group Happening.” Enquirer reporter Jo Thomas sat in on the course and reported [21 August 1969] a most unusual classroom experience.
“I will not lecture,” Heisel said. “You will live out experiences, and I will ask you questions. Answer them in your head without verbalizing them. Writing is so slow and the mind works at such speed.”
Dorelle invited the students to form themselves into trains of about nine “cars,” kindergarten-style and take turns being the “engine” or the “caboose.”
“Elderly women hung on to 20-year-olds. Bald men chugged in front of bearded men. Around and around the room the trains went, gathering momentum and enthusiasm. One train burst out of the classroom door into the bright hall, chugging with gusto.”
The explosion of new ideas generated by the psychedelic Sixties energized Dorelle and she launched a series of public lectures to share her excitement. One wonders how her Cincinnati audiences, among such mainline organizations such as the Federation of Jewish Organizations and the Kiwanis Club, reacted to her exposition titled “Turn On, Tune In, Find Out!”
Tumblr media
An early adopter of technology, Dorelle acquired a variety of devices to assist her research into altering thought patterns via biofeedback. Among these contraptions were the electromyograph and the alphaphone that made brainwaves audible or visual. She claimed that biofeedback, in addition to curing a variety of conditions from depression to migraines, transported users into a new state of being that she called the Kairos Dimension.
"The Kairos Dimension is nature taking its electronic course through you by providing strategies for amplifying your sensory range,” she announced in her 1974 book, “The Kairos Dimension.”
The titles of Dorelle’s non-credit classes and community lectures indicate the paths her biofeedback research led her down: “Brainfun: Steering Minds In New Directions,” “The Holographic Mind,” “How Biofeedback Opens Social Spaces,” and “How Biofeedback Supports Excitement And Growth.” Here is the course catalog description for one of these classes:
“Feelings of stress, tension and pressure take place only in muscles, never in the chemical-electrical brain that sends out orders. New research gives us a more accurate model of how we guide and control our range of ‘body sculptures.’ Small group exploration of the latest technologies.”
As the Human Potential movement evolved into various New Age philosophies, Dorelle’s biofeedback strategies caught on among that crowd. When the Montreal Star compiled a list of 50 important New Age books in 1975, Dorelle’s “Biofeedback Exercise Book” was featured along with books on transcendental meditation, herbal remedies, gestalt therapy and “The Joy of Sex.”
The nationally syndicated television show, P.M. Magazine, hosted Dorelle in November 1983 as “Cincinnati’s Brain Lady who enables you to see your brain on a television screen.” For a brief period, UC’s radio station WGUC aired a show devoted to Dorelle’s “Kairos Dimension.”
The Heisels divorced in 1977 and throughout the 1980s Dorelle’s public appearances waned. A Body/Mind/Spirit Festival at Avondale’s Unitarian Church in 1988 found her discussing biofeedback along with proponents of shamanism, tarot cards, crystals, chelation therapy and psychic powers.
Dorelle retired from UC and relocated to Plano, Texas where one of her daughters lived. In retirement, she played bridge and painted portraits. She died, aged 79, in November 1996.

Government Name
Masterlist
Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x Hispanic!Reader
Summary: Y/N decides to call Xavier by his real name instead of the nicknames she gave him. Since this takes place in the same universe as “there’s a frog in my hand” and “say it back”, Y/N is still a magic a healer.
Warning: Boyfriend!Xavier, pouty Xavier
The day started out normal, Y/N and Xavier were in his art shed, Xavier decided to give Y/N art lessons.
“Your brush strokes need to be more precise, okay? Like this.” Xavier said, wrapping his hand around Y/N’s hand that she’s painting with and move her hand to create a precise line on the canvas. “I hate to cut this lesson short but we need to go to class.” Y/N said.
“Alright, alright, whatever the princess says.” Y/N scrunched her nose, “Yeah, I don’t like being called princess, lowkey sounds condescending when anyone but my parents call me that.” “Okay, message received, angel, let’s go.” Xavier said, holding her hand to they can walk together to class. “That’s much better mi flaquito precioso, let’s go.” Y/N said as they walked out of the art shed. Xavier was carrying both their backpacks and when they arrived to class, they sat next to each other.
Xavier was doodling on Y/N’s hand like normal. Everything about their interactions were completely normal until lunchtime. Xavier and Y/N walked together to sit at the lunch table with Enid, Wednesday, Eugene, Ajax, Divina, Kent, Yoko, and Bianca. After the events of the fall semester, they all got closer.
“Y/N, i harvested some honey from my bees to give to you! I know you like to add some when your making dessert.” Eugene says an he hands over a mason jar full of honey to Eugene. “Thank you, little man. Whenever I make picarones, I’ll definitely use this honey.” Y/N said, ruffling Eugene’s hair.
“What are picarones?” Bianca asked, “They are a dessert native to Peru, similar to doughnuts, but they’re thinner.” Wednesday answered. “I could make some one day and we can eat it at lunch.” Y/N said and everyone agreed. They were talking about other stuff and it was all fun until the bell rang and they were saying goodbye (since we only got to see botany class, I’m gonna make Nevermore like St. Vladimir’s, the first half of the school day are regular classes all the students take together, the second half are classes that will help improve their abilities or other classes such as fencing).
“I gotta go to combat class, see you later, Xavier.” Y/N said and kissed his cheek. Enid followed Y/N since she also has combat class, Eugene went to his nature class to see if he can control wild bees as well as he can control his own hive. The other went to fencing, Xavier and Ajax were going to duel, so we’re Wednesday and Bianca, the twins against each other, and Yoko against a werewolf. The other students paired up. “Ready, en garde!” The coach said.
While Xavier and Ajax were dueling m they were talking. “Did you and Y/N have a fight or something?” Ajax asked Xavier. “No man, why would you ask that?” Xavier replied. “She called you by your government name.” Ajax said. Xavier scoffed. “One time, she called me Xavier one time. Besides, she kissed my cheek, I don’t think that qualifies as her being mad. Maybe she was just in a rush.” Xavier said. “Alright fine, I’ll drop it, if she says your government name again though, apologize. Doesn’t matter if you did nothing wrong, doesn’t matter if you don’t know why she’s mad, just apologize.” Ajax said. “Did you do the same thing for Enid?” Xavier asked. “After she found out about the nightshades, yes.”
Meanwhile Enid and Y/N were sparring in their combat class. After going up against the Hyde, Enid thought it would be a good idea to take up hand to hand combat. While they were sparring, they were also having a conversation. “Can’t believe you’re not going to call Xavier pet names for the rest of the day.” Enid said, “Enid, it’s a perfectly harmless joke.” Y/N said. “You said the same thing about not saying I love you to Xavier and I had to hear from Ajax that he was literally this close to crying!” Enid said, using her index finger and thumb 🤏 to indicate how close Xavier was to breaking. “Ooh, I know, mi bebé es tan sensible (my baby is so sensitive). So hopefully calling him by his full name won’t do as much damage.” Y/N said.
As the school day went on, Y/N went to cooking class finger food. When someone cut their hand in class, Y/N immediately gave them her food and their hand healed completely. “Nice job, Y/N, the healing time is definitely getting faster.” Her teacher said. Since Y/N adds magic to the food, the healing doesn’t take effect immediately, but now the more she practices, the healing effects are almost instantaneous when they eat the food. Getting out of class, she decided to go to Xavier’s dorm. Low and behold, Xavier was laying down on hisbed, listening to music.
“Hey, Xavier.” Y/N said. Xavier immediately sat up. “What did you call me?” Xavier asked. “Xavier, that’s your name, isn’t it?” Y/N asked, Xavier got off the bed and grabbed Y/N by her shoulders, and now they are looking each other in the eyes. “I’m sorry, baby.” Xavier said, Y/N titled her head and looked at him in confusion. “What are you sorry for, Xavier?” Y/N asked, testing him to see how far he will go. Xavier stopped seeing as if he had nothing to be sorry for…but now he was thinking he did, great, thank you Ajax. “Well um…the other day I…” Xavier spoke hesitantly and Y/N just nodded her head to signal him to keep going. “I made fun of the telenovela you were watching.” Xavier said.
Y/N nodded interestingly. “Nice try, I’m not mad, Xavier.” Y/N said. “Then why are you calling me by my government? Is this what married men feel like when their wife gives them the silent treatment?” Xavier said. “I mean i wouldn’t know, I can’t possibly tell how you’re feeling, Xavier.” Y/N said. “Angel, stop calling me by my government name! When we started dating, you called me flaquito, Xavi, amor, corazón, cariño, querido, mi vida, mi cielo, what happened to that?” Xavier said.
“The thing is Xavier….” Y/N started and was interrupted by Xavier. “Are you breaking up with me, is that it?” Xavier asked walking away from Y/N. “Oh sweet suffering Jesus, I am not breaking up with you, Xavier! I freaking love you too much to dump you.” Y/N said. “Then why do you keep calling me Xavier?” Xavier asked. Y/N started looking around the room and that’s when a Xavier le cayos el viente, when it hit him finally. “If this is one of those TikTok things, I swear.” Xavier said.
“I’m sorry, mi vida, I just wanted to see how you would react. Usually the other person would call their partner by their full name too so I just wanted to see what would you do.” Y/N said. Xavier hugged her and kissed the top of her head. “You are going to kill me one of these day.” Xavier said. “I’ll heal you before you die though.” Y/N commented and they are now so much better.
Next is Xavier’s revenge, where he pulls a similar prank on Y/N

In my universe, Earth-18104, the X-Men had three schools in different times, the Xavier Mansion changed names every time a new "era" started, according to the story and the events of that time.
The story of the Xavier Institute is based in the comics and influenced by other events of this universe, that are based in other medias like the movies and comics, and don't follow the time-line of the comics in a precise way, because I wanted to give this universe a more real feeling of time passing slowly and the characters aging different from each generation.
So... yeah, some characters are older or younger than they are in the comics.
Here are some of the students that were enrolled in each school. And here the list of other groups of young superheroes.
• Xavier Institute for Gifted Young People (1972 - 1999)
The first school, of course, when Xavier still had to keep his and his students' identities a secret. People believed it was just a private school, even thought it had only a very few students, at first.
The first students were the original X-Men of 1972, trained by Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, Mastermind, Moira MacTaggert and Destiny (based on the movie X-Men First Class):
• Armando Muñoz / Darwin (16)
• Suzanne Chan / Sway (17)
• Vienna Adamsen / Petra (16)
• Sean Cassidy / Banshee (20)
They later all went to Muir Island to train with Moira, after Xavier suffered the injury that let him paralyzed.
In 1989, Xavier trained the second X-Men, the Original Five or X-Men '92:
• Jean Grey / Marvel Girl (17)
• Scott Summers / Cyclops (16)
• Bobby Drake / Iceman (15)
• Warren Worthington III / Angel (17)
• Henry McCoy / Beast (18)
Later in 1995, Lorna Dane / Polaris (20) and Alex Summers / Havok (17) joined the team.
At the same time, Moira had her own team if X-Men in Muir Island, trained by Petra, Sway and Darwin:
• Christopher Bradley / Bolt (14)
• Gabriel Summers / Vulcan (13)
• James Madrox / Multiple (16)
• David Haller (17/18)
In 1996 Kitty Pryde / Sprite (13), Alison Blaire / Dazzler (16), Gailyn and Joseph Grey / Shatter-Box (10) joined the school. And in 1997, it was Rogue (17) and Ruth Aldine / Blindfold (17).
*Shatterbox are minor characters in the comics. Blindfold is older than her counterpart in the comics, and acts as a mentor and counselor to the next students.
In 1997/1999, the Xavier Institute was turned into a real school, and thought he did not wanted to put more children in danger, Xavier created a new team of X-Men, the New Mutants:
• Illyana Rasputin / Magik (13)
• Xuân Cao Manh / Karma (15)
• Danielle Moonstar / Mirage (16)
• Sam Guthrie / Cannonball (16)
• Roberto da Costa / Sunspot (15)
• Rahne Sinclair / Wolfsbane (15)
• Amara Aquilla / Magma (15)
• James Proudstar / Warpath (14)
• Douglas Ramsey / Cypher (12)
• Warlock
* Illyana Rasputin was 6 years old before joined, however, after her time in the Limbo, she came back to her world as a 13 years old teenager. James Proudstar was brought to the school by his older brother after leaving the Hellions. And Jonh Proudstar never fucking died.
In 1999, Banshee and Emma Frost took care of a new class of mutants, the Generation X:
• Paige Guthrie / Husk (17)
• Angelo Spinosa / Skin (16)
• Jubilee (17)
• Monet St. Croix / Penance (17)
• Claudette and Nicole St. Croix / M (9)
• Jonothon "Jono" Starsmore / Chamber (18)
• Everett Thomas / Synch (17)
These kids were gathered and chosen as X-Men after being rescued from the Phalanx, however Clarice Ferguson / Blink (14) was lost after destroying the enemy and was only found years later. Not by the X-Men.
In 2000/2001, Apocalypse was awaken from his slumber and the X-Men fought against him and his Horsemen. In 2004, the Infinity Gaulent arc happened, and half of the universe was gone (Like in Avengers: Endgame), and only restaured in 2010.
The people turned to dust in this break of time didn't aged.
• Xavier Institute for Higher Education / Xavier Academy (1997 - 2004) and (2010 - 2017)
After these events, the Xavier Institute changed names again. Xavier, Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Hank McCoy, Logan and Scott Summers were the ones in charge.
The mansion was had more of a structure to resemble a real school, and even had a student body, more classes, etc.
In school year of 2011/2012 (September to june) the events of E is for Extinction and Riot at Xavier's took place. The students at the time were:
• Angel Salvadore / Tempest (15)
• Barnell Borhuk / Beak (15)
• Glob Herman
• Sophie, Phoebe, Irma, Celeste and Esme Cuckoo / The Stepford Cuckoos (14)
• Jebediah "Jeb" Guthrie (12)
• Melody Guthrie / Aero (15)
• Vincent Stewart / Redneck (15)
• Christian and Christine Cord / Radian and Tattoo (15)
• Quentin Quire / Kid Omega (14)
• Hong Liange (11)
• Lucy Priest / Butterfly (16)
• Carlo Brewster / Gelatin (14)
• Abraham Verne / Caput (15)
• Dana Holmes / Polymer (15)
• Alisa Tager / Cipher (11)
• Ellie Phimister / Negasonic Teenage Warhead (12)
• Kutsuna Yukio (12)
• Gabrielle and Michael Diwa / Galura and Arauto (13)
• Dean Boswell / Dummy (15)
• Martha Johansson (9)
• Ernst (10)
• Hisako Ichiki / Armor (13)
• Edward Tancredi / Wing (12)
• Quincy Marrow (14)
• Stan Finch / Silicon (14)
• Leong Cao Mạnh (11)
• Nga Cao Mạnh (11)
*Kutsuna Yukio is the version of Yukio from Deapool 2; The Stepford Cuckoos are only three years old chronologically, but aged faster, so they are 14 years old physically and mentally. Quentin Quire had just turned fourteen and lost his body, being stuck in his astral form, he couldn't age and stayed in this form for the next six years
*For the love of God, Beak and Angel didn't fucking had children. What the fuck these writers had in mind???? They're teenagers. Jeb and Melody Guthrie should be older, but they were among the victims of Infinity Gaulent.
During 2013/2014, the events of Academy X, New X-Men, and Young X-Men in 2015 took place. During this time, we had the events of M-Day, Civil War and the Stryke's attack took place.
• Jay Guthrie / Icarus; Dallas Gibson / Specter; Callie Betto / Dryad; Sofia Mantega / Wind Dancer; Phoebe, Irma and Celeste Cuckoo / The Stepford Cuckoos (16)
• Kevin Ford / Wither; Hisako Ichiki / Armor; Julian Keller / Hellion; Sooraya Qadir / Dust; David Alleyne / Prodigy; Noah Crichton / Hydro (15)
• Cecily Kincaid / Mercury; Santo Vacarro / Rockslide; Kutsuna Yukio; Brian Cruz / Tag; Sidney Green / Onyxx; Laura Kinney; Edward Tancredi / Wing; Nick Shelley / Flubber; Laurie Collins / Wallflower; Noriko Ashida / Surge; Josh Foley / Elixir; Eric Gitter / Ink; Maxwell Jordan / Quill (14)
• Alisa Tager / Cipher; Megan Gwynn / Pixie; Hong Liange; Paras Gavaskar / Indra; Sarah Vale / Network; Jessica Vale / Preview; Nezhno ABidemi / Gentle; Lazaro Kotikash / Kidogo; Alani Ryan / Loa (13)
• Andrea Margulies / Rubber Maid; Ben Hamill / Match; Mark Sheppard / DJ; Victor Borkowski / Anole; Jeffrey Garrett (12)
• Ernst; Roxy Washington / Bling!; Martha Johansson; Nick Gleason / Wolf Cub; Hope Abott / Trance; Carl Aalston / Rain Boy (11)
Like in the comics, some of these characters lost their powers and died, with a few exception surviving and leaving the role as X-Men. The few that survived and kept their powers after M-Day stayed and then later moved to Utopia/Genosha.
After this, the Xavier Institute was destroyed and the Graymalkin Lane was left empty until 2018. In 2017, with the return of Hope Summers, a new group of X-Men was formed in Utopia, the Lights, though they did not resided at the Institute.
• Hope Summers (15)
• Gabriel Cohuelo / Velocidad (16)
• Laurie Tromette / Transonic (17)
• Teon Savko / Primal (15)
• Idie Okonkwo / Oya (13)
• Kenji Uedo (19)
Hope Summers was born just a few years before the Lights, but since she was raised in the future she is 14 years old when she comes back. Later, Megan Gwynn / Pixie (16) joined the team, taking Oya's place.
After the Schim caused, the X-Men split in two. Quentin Quire had returned in a new body, but he was still 14 years old, the same age he was when he "died"
• Jean Gray School for Higher Learning (2018- )
In 2018, Wolverine went back to Westchester and rebuilt the mansion, trying to give the place the feeling of real school. The students also could only start training when they were in 9° grade and could train to be X-Men and join teams (like in Academy X) after they were in 10° grade.
He made a deal with the Shi'ar to have technology to protect the school, as long he accepted the son of Gladiator, asked to be Quentin's guardian and they had a clone of Krakoa as they grounds.
A few old students joined the school in the first year, and a few only in the second and third year. The school opened in August of 2018.
(This list of students include some of my OCs, since I'm writing a fanfic that happens in the Jean Grey School)
• Hisako Ichiki / Armor; Julian Keller / Hellion; Gabrielle and Michael Diwa / Galura and Arauto (19)
• Cecily Kincaid / Mercury; Santo Vacarro / Rockslide: Kutsuna Yukio; Ellie Phimister / NTW; Noriko Ashida / Surge; Eric Gitter / Ink (18)
• Alisa Tager / Cipher; Hong Liange; Paras Gavaskar / Indra; Nezhno ABidemi / Gentle (17)
• Cam Long / Tiger; Aura Charles / Aurora; Crosta (16)
• Ben Hamill / Match; Victor Borkowski / Anole; Iara dos Santos / Shark Girl; Roxy Washington / Bling!; Martha Johansson / Cerebela; Zane Yamaguchi / Juggernaut 2; Hope Abott / Trance; Carl Aalston / Rain Boy (15)
• Idie Okonkwo / Oya; Prince Kubark / Gladiator; Trevor Hawkins / Eye-Kid; Charge OC; Julian Creed / Menace OC (14)
• Evan Adel / Genesis; Jiang Mei, Sprite (13/14); Hunter Creed / Rescue OC (12/13); Broo
*Broo is only five months old, Evan is a clone so he aged faster than the Cuckoos, chronologically he was "born" a few months before being enrolled. The school was never moved to Manhattan like in the comics.
Later, Huang Lin / Nature Kid; Michela Ladak; Joseph and Josephine Bricklemoore / Tri-Joe and Squid Girl joined the school.
Even after the death of Wolverine in 2021 and the creation of Krakoland in 2023, the school stayed open, and the X-Men hope it stays this way for many years.

5 Non-MCU Characters I'd love to see in Deadpool & Wolverine
Tumblr media
Superbowl Sunday saw the return of everyones favorite Merc with a Mouth Deadpool in the trailer for his upcoming new movie Deadpool & Wolverine.
And as usual, Marvel hooked me.
Some fans have seen it as a return to form for the MCU, others as business as usual for Ryan Reynolds, and some just couldn't get over the little bit of Wolverine we got.
Tumblr media
Myself, I was mainly focused on one thing. Aaron Stanford.
Tumblr media
For those not in the know, this clip from the trailer shows Aaron Stanford returning as minor villain and asshole Pyro from the original X-Men Films. He was a sidekick to Magneto, and has a rivalry with Iceman in those movies.
Tumblr media
The return of Pyro from the X-Men films confirms what most fans expected: we will see old heroes and villains from the Fox era, not just Wolverine.
And while a few have been already revealed through casting news or set photos, there are plenty more in store for us, I'm sure.
This got my head gears turning, so I decided I'd look back on the old Fox films to see who I want to return, even for the briefest moment or cameo.
None of these have been confirmed officially, so you are spoiler free from here on out. But I must warn, once I put this ideas in your head, you may be mad if they don't show up.
5. Animated Deadpool Voiced by Donald Glover
Tumblr media
*sigh* The project I wish existed.
In 2017, Donald Glover was in development and given the green light on an animated Deadpool show. The show was to premiere on FX in 2018. However, for unknown reasons it was cancelled, and never debuted, leaving fans and Donald Glover displeased.
Tumblr media
After the success of films like Spider-Verse, and Glovers involvement with Marvel, having him come in for a scene where he fights with or against Ryan Reynolds Deadpool could be a fun nod to the fans and maybe give the project the boost it needs to somehow come back.
But alas, I'm still hoping Spider-Verse will bring back Spectacular Spider-Man, so what do I know?
Tumblr media
4. X-23
Tumblr media
If there is a character ripe for a spin-off from the old X-Men universe, it was definitely X-23.
It's surprising to me she hasn't been revealed as a main member of the cast. She's a character I think few people talk about anymore, but was a crucial part of the film. I'd say Logan is up there and one of the best superhero movies.
Dafne Keen and Hugh Jackman made Logan such an impactful moving film. I'd love to see where the character has gone since Logan, and see how them reuniting effects the film.
Tumblr media
Not to mention if she fought Deadpool, it would be one hell of a good (and kind of funny ) fight.
3. Apocalypse
Tumblr media
Do I like this character? Absolutely not.
Do I want him here just for the Moon Knight jokes? Yes.
I actually think theres a good Apocalypse in Oscar Isaac somewhere. Having Deadpool and Wolverine at one point face the X-Men's Thanos sounds pretty cool, and Isaac is a great comedic and dramatic performer who deserves another shot.
I wouldn't mind a CGI version that looks more comic accurate, like Beast in the Marvels.
Tumblr media
But again. I really just want Deadpool to say "So are you Steven or Marc?"
2. The Human Torch
Tumblr media
Similarly, I want the Captain America jokes.
But if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that Human Torch was by far the best part of those Fantastic Four movies.
There's just so many things you can do with it!
We can have him in the frosted tips, in a new Fantastic Four uniform. Maybe even have him fight Pyro, stop a fire guy with a fire guy. Or have him come out from behind a train like Captain America in Infinity War, but it's Johnny.
Tumblr media
Having Evans play across Reynolds even for a bit would make so many fans happy and get more cheers then No Way Home.
Besides Evans has done a cameo in a Shawn Levy film starring Ryan Reynolds once. He can do it again.
Tumblr media
1. Legion
Tumblr media
The rumored main villain of this film tends to have a very particular vendetta with Charles Xavier. So why not use his son to acquire power?
Legion is the acclaimed show from Noah Hawley starring Dan Stevens as David Haller, a mutant with schizophrenia and basically unlimited power.
Tumblr media
Dan Stevens is incredible in this show, and I think bringing in such a powerful X-Men character would make for some fun interactions and extreme stakes. Not to mention the insane visuals, all while delving deep into the psyche of both are protagonists.
While I doubt all of these characters show up, if one or two do, I'd be extremely happy. We'll just have to wait and see.
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for reading! Please consider following, and check out my socials and other sites here! And let me know: Who do you want to see in Deadpool and Wolverine?

. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ( starter call ) - I've been just seriously feeling supernatural au so ♡ for a starter for one of my muses with a supernatural verse listed below ! I used to have this whole au sn!verse option so we can use that or take things in another direction. will shoot you a message to clarify muses and things ! ♡
I've always had this lil sn!verse set in like a dark academia university for sn kind of thing... think wednesday or the witch school sabrina went to in caos vibes. I used to advertise this verse a lot more years ago & I miss it n' feel super musey for it.
if you're interested in supernatural things outside this setting I'm totally okay with that too !!
st. cuorem's university
hidden deep in a misty forest in oregon, st. cruorem’s university serves as a sanctuary of arcane knowledge and supernatural prowess. outwardly, it masquerades as an elite private school for the wealthy, but beneath this facade lies a realm steeped in dark academia and ancient secrets. its sprawling campus, a blend of gothic architecture and enchanted landscapes, boasts ivy-clad stone buildings, towering spires, and grand archways adorned with intricate carvings of mythical beings. the grounds, perpetually shrouded in twilight, hum with magical energy and the scent of pine. inside, dimly lit corridors resonate with the whispers of centuries-old incantations and the soft rustling of ancient tomes. flickering candlelight casts elongated shadows on walls adorned with portraits of past luminaries, their eyes seemingly alive with hidden knowledge. the library, an expansive labyrinth of texts, houses volumes from alchemical treatises to forbidden grimoires. the student body is a diverse assembly of supernatural beings, from vampires and witches to werewolves and more enigmatic creatures, each honing their unique abilities. rigorous training occurs in hidden chambers and expansive, enchanted arenas where students practice spellcasting, combat, and mastery of their inherent powers. st. cruorem’s is not just a school; it’s a who's who of the supernatural world. the social hierarchy here is fierce and competitive, with the elite vying for prominence in a world where power is everything. ancient lineages of vampire royalty, demon nobles, and other powerful entities create an environment of intense rivalry and elitism. secret societies and ancient orders vie for influence, their clandestine gatherings adding to the campus's air of mystery. for those who see beyond its facade, st. cruorem’s is a proving ground where alliances are forged, rivalries ignited, and the future leaders of the supernatural world are shaped.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to work health and women's health [in my administration] because we're not really a wealthy or a healthy country." - Dumb Chump donald j. trump (October 31, 2024)
On April 3, 1982, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. married Emily Ruth Black, whom he met at the University of Virginia School of Law. Kennedy and Black separated in 1992 and divorced in 1994. On April 15, 1994, Kennedy married Mary Kathleen Richardson, a close friend of his sister Kerry, aboard a research vessel on the Hudson River. Kennedy has six children, two with Black and four with Richardson.
During his marriage to Richardson, Kennedy was known among his friends for sending explicit nude photos of women that they presumed he had taken, according to Vanity Fair. He reportedly engaged in multiple affairs during the marriage. His friends later called him a "lifelong philanderer".
On May 12, 2010, Kennedy filed for divorce from Richardson. On May 16, 2012, Richardson was found dead in a building on the grounds of her home in Bedford, New York. The Westchester County Medical Examiner ruled the death a suicide due to asphyxiation from hanging. Before her death, Richardson had discovered Kennedy's personal journal from 2001, in which he recorded sexual encounters with 37 different women. According to Kennedy, Richardson passed the journal along "to her sisters with instructions that, if anything happened to her, [it should be] published in the press".
Following her death, Kennedy won a court case against Richardson's siblings to have her buried alongside fellow Kennedy family members in St. Francis Xavier Cemetery in Centerville, Massachusetts, instead of a location closer to her siblings in New York. Shortly after her burial, Kennedy had her body disinterred and moved to a now marked grave in an empty area of the cemetery, and bought 50 plots around Richardson for future interment of Kennedy family members. Kennedy's niece Saoirse Kennedy Hill was buried next to Richardson after her death from a drug overdose at age 22. (Wikipedia)
Tumblr media
Both within Germany and abroad, there were initially few fears that Hitler could use his position to establish his later dictatorial single-party regime. Rather, the conservatives that helped to make him chancellor were convinced that they could control Hitler and "tame" the Nazi Party while setting the relevant impulses in the government themselves; foreign ambassadors played down worries by emphasizing that Hitler was "mediocre" if not a bad copy of Mussolini; even SPD politician Kurt Schumacher trivialized Hitler as a Dekorationsstück ("piece of scenery/decoration") of the new government. German newspapers wrote that, without doubt, the Hitler-led government would try to fight its political enemies (the left-wing parties), but that it would be impossible to establish a dictatorship in Germany because there was "a barrier, over which violence cannot proceed" and because of the German nation being proud of "the freedom of speech and thought". Benno Reifenberg of the Frankfurter Zeitung wrote: "It is a hopeless misjudgement to think that one could force a dictatorial regime upon the [German] nation. […] The diversity of the German people calls for democracy." — Benno Reifenberg (Wikipedia)

In 1935, during a speech to the National-Socialist Women's Congress, Hitler declared, with regard to women's rights: "in reality, the granting of so-called equal rights to women, as demanded by Marxism, does not confer equal rights at all, but constitutes the deprivation of rights, since they draw women into a zone where they can only be inferior. It places women in situations where they cannot strengthen their position with regard to men and with society – but it only weakens them."
The Nazi woman was an important part of Adolf Hitler's vision of German society (the Volksgemeinschaft) and should mirror its ideals: racially pure and physically robust. She should not work outside of the home, and should be devoted to motherhood, following the slogan of the former emperor William II of Germany: Kinder, Küche, Kirche, meaning "Children, kitchen, church". In a document published in 1934, The Nine Commandments of the Workers' Struggle, Hermann Goering bluntly summarizes the future role of German women: "Take a pot, a dustpan and a broom and marry a man". These ideals were embodied in various Nazi institutions such as the bride schools of the Deutsches Frauenwerk, aimed primarily at prospective brides of SS and Nazi Party members, and the Faith and Beauty Society for women aged 17 to 21. Liberated young women were considered "depraved" and "antisocial".

Concerning abortion, access to services was quickly prohibited, and in 1935, the medical profession became obliged to report stillbirths to the Regional Office for State Health, who would further investigate the loss of a child. In 1943 the ministers of the Interior and Justice enacted the law "Protection of Marriage, Family and Motherhood", which made provisions for the death penalty for mothers convicted of infanticide.

The exemption for marital rape was struck down in New York in 1984. In a sworn divorce deposition in 1989, Ivanka trump's mother, Ivana trump, testified that donald j. trump violently assaulted her, ripped fistfuls of hair from her scalp, and raped her after he became enraged by a painful operation to remove a bald spot on his head. The New York Times reported in 1990 that a divorce was granted to Ivana trump due to donald j. trump's "cruel and inhuman treatment" of his wife which included his public adultery with Marla Maples. Ivana trump spoke of donald j. trump's cruel and inhuman treatment of her again in 1993: "On one occasion during 1989, mr. trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a 'rape', but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense." Ivana trump later died from internal injuries after accidentally falling down the stairs in her home. Instead of Ivana's remains being honored on holy ground like many other deceased wealthy individuals, she's now buried in an oftentimes unkempt grave near the clubhouse of donald j. trump's Bedminster, New Jersey golf course.

In 1996, donald j. trump fired his bodyguard Spencer Wagner after a police officer found Marla Maples and the bodyguard together under a lifeguard stand on a deserted beach at 4:00 a.m. In June 2019, writer E.

Strong's Concordance #2024 Hara: a region of N. Mesopotamia Original Word: הָרָא
The Hara or lower Dantian, as conceptualised by the Chinese and Japanese martial arts, is important for their practice, because it is seen, as the term "Sea of Qi" indicates, as the reservoir of vital or source energy (Yuan Qi). It is, in other words, the vital centre of the body as well as the centre of gravity. For many martial arts, the extension of energy or force from this centre is a common concept. Many martial art styles, amongst them Aikido, emphasise the importance of "moving from the hara", i.e. moving from the centre of one's very being – body and mind. There are a large number of breathing exercises in traditional Japanese and Chinese martial arts where attention is always kept on the dantian or hara to strengthen the "Sea of Qi". (Wikipedia)
At a deeper level the word, hara, means one's true nature; who one truly is as a human being. (International House of Reiki)

Exodus 14:3 Pharaoh will say of the Israelites, "They are astray in the land; the wilderness has closed in on them." Exodus 14:4 Then I will stiffen Pharaoh's heart and he will pursue them, that I may gain glory through Pharaoh and all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so. Exodus 14:5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his courtiers had a change of heart about the people and said, "What is this we have done, releasing Israel from our service?" Exodus 14:6 He ordered his chariot and took his men with him; Exodus 14:7 he took six hundred of his picked chariots, and the rest of the chariots of Egypt with officers in all of them. Exodus 14:8 The Lord stiffened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he gave chase to the Israelites. As the Israelites were departing defiantly, Exodus 14:9 the Egyptians gave chase to them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his warriors overtook them encamped by the sea, near Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon. Exodus 14:10 As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites caught sight of the Egyptians advancing upon them. Greatly frightened, the Israelites cried out to the Lord. Exodus 14:11 And they said to Moses, "Was it for want of graves in Egypt that you brought us to die in the wildeness? What have yo done to us, taking us out of Egypt? Exodus 14:12 Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt, saying, 'Let us be, and we will serve the Egyptians, for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness'?" Exodus 14:13 But Moses said to the people, 'Have no fear! Stand by, and witnes the deliverance which the Lord will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again. Exodus 14:14 The Lord will battle for you; you hold your peace!"

Exodus 14:18 Let the Egyptians know that I am Lord, when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen." Exodus 14:19 The angel of God, who had been going ahead of the Israelite army, now moved and followed behind them; and the pillar of cloud shifted from in front of them and took up a place behind them, Exodus 14:20 and it came between the army of the Egyptians and the army of Israel. Thus there was the cloud with the darkness, and it cast a spell upon the night, so that the one could not come near the other all through the night. Exodus 14:21 Then Moses held out his arm over the sea and the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind all that night, and tuned the sea into dry ground. the waters were split, Exodus 14:22 and the Israelites went into the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left.

Exodus 14:24 At the morning watch, the Lord looked down upon the Egyptian army from a pillar of fire and cloud, and threw the Egyptian army into panic. Exodus 14:25 He locked the wheels of their chariots so that they moved forward with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the Israelites, for the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt." Exodus 14:26 Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Hold out your arm over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians and upon their chariots and upon their horsemen." Exodus 14:27 Moses held out his arm over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state, and the Egyptians fled at its approach. But the Lord hurled the Egyptians into the sea. Exodus 14:28 The waters turned back and covered the chariots and the horsemen--Pharaoh's entire army that followed them into the sea; not one of them remained. Exodus 14:29 But the Israelites had marched through the sea on dry ground, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. Exodus 14:30 Thus the Lord delivered Israel that day from the Egyptians. Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea. Exodus 14:31 And when Israel saw the wondrous power which the Lord had wielded against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord; they had faith in the Lord and His servant Moses.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 129 and 130 Exodus 9:8 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Each of you take handfuls of soot from the kiln, and let Moses throw it toward the sky in the sight of Pharaoh. Exodus 9:9 It shall become a fine dust all over the land of Egypt, and cause an inflammation breaking out in boils on man and beast throughout the land of Egypt." Exodus 9:10 So they took soot of the kiln and appeared before Pharaoh; Moses threw it toward the sky, and it caused an inflammation breaking out in boils on man and beast. Exodus 9:11 The magicians were unable to confront Moses becuse of the inflammation, for the inflammation afflicted the magicians as well as all the other Egyptians. Exodus 9:12 But the Lord stiffened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not heed them, just as the Lord had told Moses. Exodus 9:13 The Lord said to Moses, "Early in the morning present yourself to Pharaoh and say to him, "Thus says the Lord, the God of the Heberws: Let My people go to worship Me. Exodus 9:14 For this time I will send all My plagues upon your person, and your courtiers, and your people, in order that you may know that there is none like Me in all the world. Exodus 9:15 I could have stretched forth My hand and stricken you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been effaced from the earth. Exodus 9:16 Nevertheless I have spared you for this purpose: in order to show you My power, and in order that My fame may resound throughout the world.

During his 2024 campaign, polls generally showed that a majority of Americans believed that Trump was too old to serve as president. A July 2024 poll, taken shortly after the first presidential debate, found that 60% of voters saw Trump as too old for a second term. This represented a steady and constant increase in voters polled by this pollster sharing this concern, and paralleled the progression of the larger number of voters who had the same concern about Biden. An August 2024 Morning Consult poll found that the number of respondents who thought Trump was too old to run jumped by seven percent, to 51%, from their previous poll once Trump's opponent changed from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris, and the number of respondents who thought donald j. trump was in good health correspondingly fell by six percent. The poll further reported that nearly 80% of respondents "were unsure he'd be up for serving a full second term". A Marquette University poll released the same day reported that 57% of respondents felt that Trump was too old.

"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the People.' 'We the People' tell the government what to do; it doesn't tell us. 'We the People' are the driver; the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast.
Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the People' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the People' are free. This belief has been the underlying basis for everything I've tried to do these past 8 years.
An informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn't get these things from your family you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrated democratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special. TV was like that, too, through the mid-60s.
So, we've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important -- why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. You know, four years ago on the 40th anniversary of D-day, I read a letter from a young woman writing to her late father, who'd fought on Omaha Beach. Her name was Lisa Zanatta Henn, and she said, 'we will always remember, we will never forget what the boys of Normandy did.' Well, let's help her keep her word. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual.
And let me offer lesson number one about America: All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let 'em know and nail 'em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.
The past few days when I've been at that window upstairs, I've thought a bit of the 'shining city upon a hill.' The phrase comes from John Winthrop, who wrote it to describe the America he imagined. What he imagined was important because he was an early Pilgrim, an early freedom man. He journeyed here on what today we'd call a little wooden boat; and like the other Pilgrims, he was looking for a home that would be free. I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it, and see it still." - Ronald Reagan (1989 Farewell Speech)
