A Rose is a Rose is a Rose: Part 1

Nature 3 Minutes

Thinking of buying roses for someone this Valentine’s Day or maybe expecting to receive roses?  This article details the meaning of the color of roses and what they “say” or what the sender wants them to say. 

From: Color-Meaning.com:

Buying flowers for someone can be a stressful process because there’s a chance they may misunderstand your intentions. Many people perceive giving roses as a romantic gesture, but not every color of rose is seen as a gift of deep love. So, what does each rose color mean? Understanding different roses may help you choose the best type to give someone.

Do Roses Come in Every Color?

“Roses are red” is what we’re used to hearing, but it’s not always true. They may not be the most colorful flowers in the world, but roses can come in all sorts of colors, including multi-colored varieties. Shades of red will always be the most common, but there are plenty of other natural colors roses can be. If a rose can’t be produced in a certain color, sellers may dye the flower to give it a desirable hue. The only colors that you won’t find naturally in roses are blue and black. Even though other flowers can naturally be blue, blue doesn’t exist in the rose gene pool. Some flowers can have black pigments, but no flower can be completely black naturally.

Rose Color Meanings

Roses typically symbolize love and romance, but the color of the rose could change that meaning. So, let’s take a look at what 22 different rose colors mean.

1 Red

2 Light Pink

Roses come in many shades of pink, each with different meanings. Light pink is often a sign of innocence and appreciation. They’re a great gift for a family member or close friend to show that they’re important to you. They may also symbolize joy and gentleness.

3 Medium Pink

Most pink roses are a symbol of grace and femininity. They may also be associated with gratitude. They’re often used to decorate celebrations, and they can be given as a way to congratulate someone.

4 Dark Pink

Dark pink is a gentler version of red. Instead of passionate love, it represents a form of admiration and gratitude. Deep pink roses are often given to people to let them know you appreciate them, and they can be given for any type of love, whether it’s family, friends, or a partner.

5 Burgundy

Burgundy roses are similar to red roses, but they’re slightly darker. Thus, they’re a sign of passion and devotion. They’re almost always given as a gift to a significant other. These roses are viewed as stunning and beautiful.

6 Peach

Peach roses are often given to someone as a sign of thanks and appreciation. They’re a down-to-earth way to show someone that you’re grateful for them. Some people may also give them to a loved one when expressing sympathy.

7 Salmon

Salmon roses aren’t quite red, and they’re more vibrant than peach. They’re a sign of excitement and desire. They let the receiver know that you’re thrilled to be spending time with them.

8 Coral

Coral is similar to salmon, and it shares many of the same meanings. It’s a sign of enthusiasm and desire, so it’s a fun alternative to red roses.

9 Orange

Orange is one of the most vibrant rose colors you can buy. These flowers symbolize fascination and energy. Like similar colors, they can also be a sign of desire, excitement, and enthusiasm. They’re perfect for people who love when attention is drawn toward them.

10 Yellow

Yellow roses are a symbol of friendship and joy, so they should be given to friends and family rather than romantic partners. In the Victorian Era, yellow roses were a sign of jealousy and envy, but over time, they changed to mean the opposite. These flowers are the perfect way to tell someone they’re a great friend.

11 White

White roses symbolize new love and innocence. They’re also a sign of purity and youthfulness. They’re the perfect gift to give in the early stages of a relationship. However, these roses are sometimes also used as wedding decorations.

      And USAID is financing the SOROS prosecutors. They ‘launder’ this through SOROS, who doesn’t even use his own money for the dirty work. This means the CIA, which is actually controlling USAID is financing the dirty prosecutors.

      PROSECUTORS WERE FUNDED BY USAID

      “This push to prosecute Trump by Alvin Bragg, Soros was a minor co-funder.

      He gave them $10,000, that’s it!

      The $14 million he gave to the parent company, the fiscal sponsor of FJP (Fair and Just Prosecution, a nonprofit that supports and influences progressive prosecutors in the U.S.), well, that ain’t shit compared to the $27 million that USAID gave them.

      Every time you hear the word Soros prosecutor, no, they’re USAID prosecutors.”

  20. U.S. Department of the Treasury Withdraws from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Federal Insurance Office (FIO) today notified the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) that it is withdrawing its membership.

    Withdrawal from NGFS is one part of implementing President Trump’s Executive Orders Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements and Unleashing American Energy. NGFS was organized to help to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, from which the United States withdrew. NGFS’s initiatives are inconsistent with this Administration’s priorities to grow the U.S. economy and American jobs, and NGFS’s role diverges from the traditional technical and coordinating roles of other international fora.

    Important parts of NGFS’s scope, including on monetary policy frameworks, go beyond FIO’s core duties. FIO will continue to engage with state insurance regulators and other stakeholders to promote U.S. interests in international insurance engagements. – US Treasury Department

    Our Take: I was speaking with our friend, WarHamster, this weekend about this story, and its significance. This move represents the undoing of the Climate Cult agenda, which is a product of the “Malthusian Catastrophe” theory by British economist Thomas Malthus in his 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population.

    Malthus presented a deceptive misrepresentation of the true relationship between productivity, labor, and value. He asserted that populations grow at an exponential rate, and because of that, human society will fail to produce the food necessary to keep the population fed.

    The current state of civilization disproves Malthus’s pessimistic view of humanity, as birth rates worldwide have plummeted to all-time lows. But the truth is that, even if we hadn’t suffered the social engineering of the sociopaths who worship men like Malthus, the human spirit endeavors to conquer the challenges that constantly confront us, and solve those problems with ingenuity.

    So the disciples of Malthus created the lie of artificial scarcity in order to scare society into abandoning the human spirit, and the “climate crisis” represents perhaps the most draconian effort to forever imprison it.

    According to WarHamster, the Four Horsemen of the Climate Cult were Maurice Strong, Henry Kissinger, Klaus Schwab, and Zbigniew Brzezinski.

    Ever since the 1970’s, these men and their acolytes have sought to kill the human spirit through psychological warfare. This move by President Trump is a flippant rejection of this demonic cult. – GhostofBasedPatrickHenry

    Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency access to the federal payment system late on Friday, according to five people familiar with the change, handing Elon Musk and the team he is leading a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

    The new authority follows a standoff this week with a top Treasury official who had resisted allowing Mr. Musk’s lieutenants into the department’s payment system, which sends out money on behalf of the entire federal government. The official, a career civil servant named David Lebryk, was put on leave and then suddenly retired on Friday after the dispute, according to people familiar with his exit.

    The system could give the Trump administration another mechanism to attempt to unilaterally restrict disbursement of money approved for specific purposes by Congress, a push that has faced legal roadblocks.
    – The New York Times

    Our Take: All assets are being deployed. The narrators want you to believe that Elon Musk is in charge of DOGE, and that DOGE is operating outside of constitutional authorities because Elon Musk doesn’t have an official position. This assertion is easily debunked as DOGE was established via Executive Order, and DOGE reports to the White House Chief of Staff, or Susie Wiles.

    They want people freaking out about Elon going rogue, because they can’t actually stop him. DOGE has been very vocal about the waste, fraud, and abuse that they’re uncovering. The people are getting (more) angry, while the invisible enemy is getting (more) panicked. Every day we learn about a new corrupt scheme.

    Corruption must be prosecuted regardless of who is corrupt. The bipartisan freak outs are telling. – Ashe in America

  26. EXCERPT: “Information disorder is a term coined in 2017 in a report titled “Information Disorder Toward an interdisciplinary framework for research and policymaking” that was drafted for the Council of Europe. (Derakhshan & Hossein, 2017). Information disorder refers to the sharing or developing of false information, categorized as misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation. Of interest, the original 2016 election of President Trump triggered the commission of this report. 

    From the report:

    This concept has been further developed by think tanks, academics, NGOs, governments, and others now invested in the vast fact-checking and industrial-censorship complex. We have all become well-versed in these concepts over the past few years.

    A 2020 peer-reviewed study took this concept further and made information disorder into a mental health condition.

    Abstract: 

    Many of us may be unknowingly suffering from information disorder syndrome. It is more prevalent due to the digitized world where the information flows to every individual’s phone, tablet and computer in no time. Information disorder syndrome is the sharing or developing of false information with or without the intent of harming and they are categorized as misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. 

    The severity of the syndrome is categorized into three grades. Grade 1 is a milder form in which the individual shares false information without the intent of harming others. Grade 2 is a moderate form in which the individual develops and shares false information with the intent of making money and political gain, but not with the intent of harming people. Grade 3 is a severe form in which the individual develops and shares false information with the intent of harming others. The management of this disorder requires the management of false information, which is rumor surveillance, targeted messaging and community engagement. Repeated sufferers at the Grade 1 level, all sufferers from Grade 2 and 3 levels need psycho-social counseling and sometimes require strong regulations and enforcement to control such information disorder. 

    The most critical intervention is to be mindful of the fact that not all posts in social media and news are real, and need to be interpreted carefully.

    From this paper, the idea of “information disorder syndrome” quickly jumped into the lexicon of both the censorship-industrial complex and the mental health industry. It is important to note that the terms syndrome, disease, and mental disorders are often used interchangeably. In this case, it has been determined by organizations such as First Draft and the Aspen Institute that the way to cure this syndrome is to stop the flow of misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation online.

    Is it just a matter of time before the American Psychiatric Association puts this new “syndrome” into the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)? Is this a possibility?

    The American Psychological Association is at least considering how to fit “information disorder” or even “information disorder syndrome” into their modalities. The APA has developed a consensus statement report on fighting health misinformation, which we taxpayers paid for. The CDC paid the APA $2 million for this project…..”

  27. Just The News: “Billionaire Entrepreneur Elon Musk, now in charge of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, said Monday that he and President Donald Trump are going to shutter the United States Agency for International Development.

    “We’re shutting it down,” he reportedly said in an audio conversation on X Spaces, part of the social media platform X. “With regards to the USAID stuff, I went over it with (the president) in detail and he agreed that we should shut it down.” In addition, Musk wrote on X: “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”

    However, Trump has not confirmed that the agency is being shut down. Musk’s announcement was not entirely unexpected, considering the administration recently froze USAID funding and put dozens of its employees on leave.

    The USAID is the agency most responsible for sending aid to other countries in need of development and humanitarian work. Trump has criticized the agency in the past including saying it was “run by a bunch of radical lunatics.”

    Officials in the Trump administration have floated the possibility of putting the USAID under the authority of the State Department, according to NBC News.“

  32. PJ Media: “Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino on Sunday, making it clear that the U.S. won’t tolerate China’s growing influence over the Panama Canal.

    “Secretary Rubio informed President Mulino and Minister Martínez-Acha that President Trump has made a preliminary determination that the current position of influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party over the Panama Canal area is a threat to the canal and represents a violation of the Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal,” the State Department said in a statement. “Secretary Rubio made clear that this status quo is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the Treaty.”

    The Associated Press had an interesting take on the situation:

    The statement was unusually blunt in diplomatic terms, but in keeping with the tenor and tone Trump has set for foreign policy. Trump has been increasing pressure on Washington’s neighbors and allies, including the canal demand and announcing Saturday that he was imposing major tariffs on Canada and Mexico. That launched a trade war by prompting retaliation from those close allies.

    Mulino, meanwhile, called his talks with Rubio “respectful” and “positive” and said he did not “feel like there’s a real threat against the treaty and its validity.”

    The news had barely settled before another bombshell dropped: Panama has backed down. 

    Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino announced that after his meeting Rubio, his government will not renew its 2017 memorandum with China on the “Belt and Road Initiative.” He also stated that Panama will seek to terminate its agreements with the Chinese government ahead of their scheduled end dates in 2027 and 2028.

    “One important thing, which is a decision I made and communicated to you, is that the 2017 MoU on the Silk Road, the Bell and Road Initiative, will not be renewed by my government. That is the case,” Mulino said according to a translation of his remarks.  “We are going to study the possibility of whether it can be finished earlier or not, but I think it is due for renewal in one or two years, because it is every three years. So that initiative that was signed when it was signed, at the time it was signed, will not be renewed by my government. I think “that this visit opens a path to build a new stage of relations.”

    He continued, “That’s how I see it, that’s how I felt from Secretary Marco Rubio, and at the same time, we’re trying as much as possible to increase U.S. investments in Panama. I explained to him a series of infrastructure projects that the government has in its portfolio, in the hope that they’ll be aware of them and that when the time comes, the bidding process that will begin very soon will be done, so that they can get involved.”

    They’re not just refusing to renew their 2017 deal with China; they’re scrambling to cut ties ahead of schedule. China’s influence over the canal is coming to an end.”

  42. “Illegal Immigrants Helpfully Wave Flags So ICE Knows Where To Send Them”

    U.S. · Feb 3, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

    Article Image

    U.S. — As deportation efforts continued to ramp up across the United States, several hundred illegal immigrants took to the streets and helpfully waved the flags of their home countries so ICE would know where to send them.

    ICE agents thanked the illegals for simplifying the process, making it much easier to know where they came from and what planes to load them on.

    “It makes our jobs a lot easier,” said immigration agent Hank Simpson. “Under normal circumstances, we’d have to spend hours or even days trying to identify these people and figure out where they came from and how to get them back home. Now, with them out there waving flags, it’s pretty cut and dry.”

    Mobs of protesters staged marches in U.S. streets to voice opposition to President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, bravely displaying the banners of their home countries. “It eliminates a lot of the guesswork,” Simpson said. “It could’ve been a lot more frustrating, but these folks are out here doing us a solid and letting us know right off the bat where the cargo planes should be sent. We really appreciate the help.”

    At publishing time, ICE officials had loaded several hundred people waving Palestinian flags on a flight back to Gaza

    MANHATTAN, KS — Local wife Denise Thompson graciously sat down with her husband Mike to explain what he actually meant by what he said.

    After confusion arose as to the interpretation of what Mr. Thompson was trying to say, Mrs. Thompson helpfully explained to him the true meaning behind his words.

    “I know you think you know what you were trying to say,” said Thompson gently. “But trust me, that’s not what you meant. Let me help you out here.”

    According to sources, Mike had responded “That sounds good” to a query about joining his wife for a trip to her parents’ house. However, Denise informed him that his true feelings were quite different. “I know you said that you’re happy to come with me, but the way you said it, it’s obvious that what you meant is that I spend too much time with my mom,” explained Denise. “You really were trying to say that I need more emotional separation from my mom, because she takes up much of the role that should belong to my husband. Of course, you don’t want to go to their house and deal with it, even though you feel like it pulls us apart as a couple. Why won’t you just say these things out loud, Mike?”

    At publishing time, Mike had asked if Denise could go ahead and tell him in advance what his follow-up response would mean and if he needed to sleep on the couch.
