In June I wrote a blog called Souls Who Travel Together about a client and friend named John Quinn whose parents died within five days of each other three months ago. Friday John came for a reading - part of which was mediumship.

John shared several synchronicities he has had since his parents crossed over. He told his mother, Margaret, before she died that if she ever wanted to make her presence known - she should appear to him as a red cardinal.

Since then red cardinals have shown up for him in different locations. Red cardinals are not commonly seen flying free in Brooklyn. Where they showed up, also has personal significance for John and Margaret.

He also asked her to manifest quarters as a sign that she and John's father are OK. That too continues to happen. Many people tell those they know who are going to cross over - to bring specific signs - and Margaret definitely knows how to do it.

A red cardinal symbolizes a spiritual visitor from a loved one who has passed, a sign of hope, and a reminder of enduring love. Because these bright birds stay in the same area through cold winters, people view them as symbols of strength and life going on. For John it is an ongoing message of positivity from his mother along with the quarters.

I never ask Z to bring me a "sign" as many people do with spirits. Yesterday was different for some reason when I felt guided to ask Z to bring me a sign if we are close to closure.

This morning I downloaded the film "Disclosure Day" on Amazon. When I got to the part where Emily Blunt is triggered by a red cardinal (alien) landing on her kitchen table - I remembered Margaret. Then I realized the red cardinal trigger in the film connects for me via my reading with John - red cardinals and alien agendas set in place when I was 'taken' at age 11.

Just as Emily Blunt - whose name is Margaret in "Disclosure Day" - is triggered by the red cardinal ... my first trigger into my greater destiny was something a fellow teacher said to me years ago. She was also a psychic reader who gave me my first reading - and told me I would become famous among other things that made no sense at the time.

As we sat there talking in June 1984, she suddenly used the phrase "Master Plan" - and when she did it - it was as if I 'phased out' of this reality - something triggered within me - and so my greater journey began to unfold. One month later, I found my 9 foot pyramid in the basement of a metaphysical store in Long Island - and became the 'psychic in the pyramid'. It is a never ending story that finishes at the end of time.

Saturday morning I fast forwarded my recording of the White House Correspondents Dinner - stopping when awards were given to college students hoping to become the next generation of political reporters.

Then came Trump. The only positive thing I can say in the limited time I watched him was ... whoever had colored his hair, did a great job. From his lilting voice to convince others of what he was saying to his now all-too-familiar hand gestures that show he's lying ... he was ridiculous.

Fast forward ... It won't be for another two years - or less - that we find out whether Trump will attempt to run again ... but much is going to happen in that window so it's best to just let events play out as they were written in the script of our reality.

I can't watch or listen to what Trump has to say. When he pops up on the news once again I revert to my favorite button on the remote ... Fast Forward. Last night was no different as Trump bombed at the White House Correspondents' Dinner

He knew he was bombing, too, and he even tried to meta-joke his way out of it. But no. Even the president's jokes about his bad jokes fell flat, and he was widely ridiculed for the comedy routine afterward.

Members of the media mocking the leader's dismal performance on live TV and all across the internet. In some other countries, that's a criminal offense. But in the US, it's the norm, so maybe Trump's speech unwittingly underscored the theme of the dinner: America's robust First Amendment protections.

In a rambling hour-long speech, Trump insulted journalists by name, repurposed old nicknames for political opponents, made a strange number of fat jokes that weren't funny at all, and sounded mad at his unnamed writers for giving him weak material to work with. "Does anyone understand this stuff?" he said at one point, and the answer was generally no.

Some of Trump's remarks were vicious, as press secretary Karoline Leavitt promised. But more than anything, the speech was just ... boring. And boring is one thing Trump never, ever wants to be. He claimed to be singlehandedly keeping the news business afloat, commenting, "When I'm gone, you're all going to be broke."

"Nobody gives a damn about anybody else," he said, and proceeded to count how many stories on The New York Times front page are about him. Trump's low energy led more than one TV executive to muse that the president had stumbled upon a new technique against the media: Tank the ratings with a snoozefest.

Trump's remarks showed how he understands the power of the press - and that he gets angry when he can't control it. He singled out several CNN journalists by name. The more resentful and recycled Trump's speech got, the more attendees seemed to tune it out.

Toward the end of the speech, the president donned a red "Trump 2028" hat. His choice of attire seemed like a deliberate troll, given the outrage that erupts every time he talks about a constitutionally barred third term. He also said that he was only kidding about running again. Earlier in the evening, during a lengthy digression about his White House ballroom addition, he remarked that "I'm only going to be using it for about six months" before leaving office, a rare acknowledgment that his term has an expiration date.

CNN's Kristen Holmes said a Republican source of hers in the room said to her, "Whoever wrote this speech should be fired." Read more ...

Friday morning before the White House Correspondents' Dinner

The April 25, 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner permanently altered the history of the event when an armed gunman attempted to assassinate President Trump. The evening marked the first time the century-old gala was abruptly halted and completely evacuated due to active political violence aimed at taking down Trump and his administration.

The rescheduled 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner - frequently dubbed "Part Two" or the "Do-Over Dinner" - is taking place tonight at the Waldorf Astoria on Pennsylvania Avenue under unprecedented security. Following the April 25 assassination attempt, what is traditionally a lighthearted evening celebrating journalism has become a far more somber gathering focused on resilience, gratitude, and the enduring role of a free press.

Balancing national traditions with growing concerns about political leadership has become an increasingly difficult task for journalists, public figures, and citizens alike. In times of deep political polarization, celebrations often unfold against a backdrop of uncertainty and anxiety.

President Trump has long sought moments of public celebration and recognition. At the same time, his leadership and foreign policy decisions are viewed very differently across the political spectrum. Some supporters see his actions as projecting strength, while many critics argue they have heightened international tensions and increased the risk of broader global conflict.

From the perspective of simulation theory, Trump is one of many variables in what I describe as the "equation of closure" - a convergence of political, technological, environmental, social, and unseen forces that appear to be accelerating humanity toward a transformational endpoint.

Whether viewed through the lens of climate change, geopolitics, history, society, or a simulated reality - the unfolding events of our time continue to suggest that we are approaching a pivotal chapter in the journey of humanity.
