  1. Excuse me Sir/Madam
    Are you saved?
    If you died tonight are you going to heaven?
    Only Jesus

  2. Colonial Chief monarch of the thieving, raping, genocidal empire is finally dead in excruciating pain for all the atrocities… the ultimate payback from God is yet to come

  3. She is the definition of a Woman.

  4. Elizabeth was a ceremonial political figurehead with no actual power. She became queen at the moment Britain started down the path of decolonization, and expressed her public support for it.

    She took multiple trips to ireland in an attempt at a show of goodwill. On one occasion in 2011 she visited the location of bloody sunday. She boycotted israel, never taking a single trip there.

    She was a friend to the United States. When she first visited she was greeted with crowds of cheering Americans. America has cultural and ancestral ties with England specifically. She was shown some historical colonial sites and replicas of certain sites, on one particular visit.

    On the day after 9/11, she ordered her guards play the the "star spangled banner," in a move of solidarity. I have seen the video of this as an American. Its very moving.

    She was not perfect—she likely took some liberties with "Queens Consent" which allows the crown to intefere with laws that personally affect property of the Crown. She also tried to shield her son Andrew from his association with less than savory characters.

    For many people, seeing her wear crowns adorned with jewels from around the world, reinforce in their minds that Elizabeth was a symbol of colonization, of white supremacy.

    But Elizabeth the person never made any public statements in favor of these things. In fact her history in the public eye suggests the opposite. She's always done what a figurehead is supposed to do, never making a lot of personal statements, and presenting herself in a statesmanlike manner.

    All of the colonization that was done before her, was done at the behest of the parliament. Its a little unnerving to see swarths of "British" and "American" people jeering at her death. Especially the Irish—they celebrate as if she was Oliver Cromwell himself.

    Not everyone has to be sad or affected at her death I understand that. But what is this outpouring of hatred for the woman? Where did this come from? Do people not realize the lady had no significant political power, especially when it came to non domestic issues?

    I've read a lot of vile comments about her this past day. This new generation of Americans and Brits are are not like the ones who came before them.

  5. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II, please spread some love and heartfelt condolences to her family. King Charles III immediately acceded to the Monarchy of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms upon his mother's death.

  6. Rest in Peace Queen Elizabeth.
    I will always love you.
    1926 – 2022
    😇😇😇

  7. Remember that time she had her cousins put in unmarked graves because they were mentally disabled? Can't believe we lost such a kind, caring, and most importantly, royal soul 😔😔

  8. Rip queen, Even though I’m American I still care rip❤️

  9. We may have lost a good woman and a good queen but Heaven has gained a queen

  10. Princess Diana got half her justice yesterday.

  11. Rest in peace Queen 👑 Elizabeth 💕😔

  12. I never wished the Queen any evil. However, it’s hard for black people to mourn because of the mistreatment of my people for 400 years. The British became rich from the slave trade and profited off the blood, sweat and tears of the black man, woman, boys and girls. When I think of my ancestors and how they were treated worse than animals it’s hard for me to have empathy for the Royal family. Even the way Charles treated Dianna. He had a beautiful wife in her and she got dogged til her death. The disrespect in how he treated her was so very wrong. The Royal family used the beautiful Princess Diana only to shut the British people up and have Charles get married to produce an heir and a spare. I really like Princess Diana. She had everything that any Prince would want in a wife. Charles doesn’t deserve to be King. It should have gone directly to Prince William. Camilla is such an unattractive woman to be in the Royal family too. I’m sorry that the Queen passed away but I do understand it’s very hard for black people to really mourn when the British did such horrible atrocities to the brown and black races.

  13. Today we remember General Adamson Tannehill. For Adamson's entire life, King George III took from him. An early volunteer in the newly formed continental army, Adamson was among the first to engage the enemy. As thousands of troops surrendered upon the arrival of British forces at the Battle of Fort Washington, Adamson would not. He rose through the ranks, becoming the longest serving officer in his regiment. Despite coming from a well-to-do family of tobacco growers, Adamson continued to serve & would lead the Pennsylvania reserves to victory in the War of 1812. Upon his death in 1820, Adamson Tannehill was survived by his ward, Mountain.

  14. Dont be distracted my people worse things are going on and the dark forces are trying to distract us with the queens death theres worse things going on in the world trust me the dark forces know how to distract the people wake up before its too late

  15. TEARS = 2022

    Tears are the raindrops of the soul

    And there's one for all who die.

    They are the silent words of grief

    As they fall free from the eye.

    The shortest verse in the Bible

    Is the one where Jesus wept

    So, if you hold back tears, shed them

    When your pain is too harsh to accept.

    Tears are lovelier than a smile

    When they come from those you love

    As they seek relief from sadness

    When you're summoned from above.

    Tears are a love-mates humble gift

    When it's time to say goodbye

    Though the eyes are wet and swollen

    With time and patience they dry.

  16. I do not see how so many people can pretend to care anything about a useless racist family.

  17. 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

  18. The end is near worship the maker of heaven, earth, and sea keep these 10 commandments, the mark of the beast draws nigh.

    Revelation 14:6 – I saw another angel flying through midheaven, having an everlasting gospel, to declare it to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation, to every kindred, to every tongue, and to every people .
    Revelation 14:7 He said with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and springs of water.

    THE SABBATH IS THE SIGN OF THE CREATOR worship any other day other than the Sabbath is back to worshiping the enemy, the day of rest is the Sabbath, not Sunday.

    Ezekiel 20:12 – I also gave them my sabbaths as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

  19. The monarchy is a parasite and the media who tries to portray them as something beautiful are the same idiots that tried to tell us that BLM is peaceful protesting.
    There is nothing good about the monarchy or the queen.

  20. Europeans, Ukraine is doing the dirty work for you, fighting with Russia! So give us more money and weapons! We are the strongest nation in the world! 🇺🇦 And you are cowards, greedy!

  21. I was looking into their family tree and 😳. Apparently the whole family met their spouses at a family reunion.
