After the death of Rosalynn Carter — the wife of Jimmy Carter — the former president deeply mourns the loss of his beloved and “equal partner in everything.” And the marriage of Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter is a testament to the enduring power of love grounded in unwavering faith. The wife of Jimmy Carter‚ the 39th president of the United States‚ passed away at the age of 96 on Sunday‚ November 19‚ 2023. RELATED: Former President Jimmy Carter's Favorite Hymns and Other Things You May Not Know About Him Her death came months after Rosalynn Carter’s diagnosis of dementia‚ announced on May 30‚ 2023. And it left her 99-year-old husband processing the crippling grief of losing his wife of 77 years. The Enduring Faith-Filled Marriage of Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter Rosalynn‚ born Eleanor Rosalynn Smith in 1927‚ hails from Plains‚ Georgia. Long before she stepped into the spotlight as the First Lady‚ her roots were firmly grounded in faith and family. She grew up in a devout Baptist household‚ laying the foundation for the values that would become a hallmark of her relationship with Jimmy Carter. Rosalynn became the wife of Jimmy Carter on July 7‚ 1946. The two got married in their hometown of Plains‚ Georgia. And it was the start of what would become the longest marriage of any first couple in U.S. history. RELATED: Jimmy Carter And Wife Spill The Beans On The Secret To Their Marriage Of 75 Years As Jimmy’s political career gained momentum‚ Rosalynn stood by his side‚ offering not only unwavering support but also actively participating in his endeavors. And throughout President Jimmy Carter’s tenure from 1977 to 1981‚ Rosalynn refused to serve merely as a ceremonial figure. She actively engaged in social and humanitarian causes‚ reflecting her deep-rooted commitment to serving others. As committed as Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter were to the community‚ they also remained deeply dedicated to each other. In fact‚ the two had a secret code they began using with each other in the 40s: “ILYTG.” It stood for the phrase‚ “I love you the goodest.” “That’s what my mother and daddy used to say back and forth‚ and I picked it up with Rosa‚” Jimmy explained. The couple’s marriage weathered the challenges of political life‚ and their love story became a beacon of stability and mutual respect. Saying Goodbye to Wife of Jimmy Carter Rosalynn Carter passed away “peacefully‚ with her family by her side” in her home in Plains‚ Georgia. After remaining faithfully by each other’s side for more than seven decades‚ the loss was understandably incredibly difficult for Jimmy Carter. “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished‚” the former president said. “She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world‚ I always knew somebody loved and supported me.” RELATED: Our Most ‘Uncelebrity' President‚ Jimmy Carter‚ Prefers Modest Life Over Riches Jimmy Carter faces his own medical challenges. In 2015‚ the former president underwent elective surgery to remove a mass on his liver. Doctors diagnosed him with melanoma and the operation revealed the cancer had spread to other parts of his body. After a series of falls and short hospital stays‚ Jimmy Carter announced in February 2023 the decision to cease full-scale medical care and instead “spend his remaining time at home with his family.” And his wife also entered hospice care at home with the diagnosis of dementia. An Enduring Love Grounded in Faith Despite her diagnosis and the issues it wrought on her memories‚ the wife of Jimmy Carter never forgot her beloved husband. RELATED: John Schneider‚ Dukes of Hazzard Star‚ Confesses Lie He Told Wife in Her Final Moments "They still sit on the couch together‚ in the same place they've always sat‚" the one of the couple’s grandsons‚ Josh Carter‚ shared before Rosalynn Carter’s death. Just as they always had‚ Jimmy and Rosalynn relied on their shared faith to see them through‚ bringing comfort in the final days. “They also know that they're not in charge‚” said Jason Carter‚ another grandson. “Their faith is really grounding in this moment. In that way‚ it's as good as it can be." So‚ with the Lord calling Jimmy Carter’s wife home‚ that faith will again provide comfort in knowing they will be reunited again one day in Heaven. We see that the enduring marriage of Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter was far more than a political partnership. It was a union strengthened by a foundation of faith that continues to inspire generations. Their journey reminds us that‚ in the ebb and flow of life‚ love rooted in unwavering faith can stand as a beacon of hope and a testament to the enduring power of commitment.

How charming…. Target just hired someone named Erik Thompson‚ also known as the Gay Cruella on Instagram (duh)‚ who is Target’s new LGBTQIA+ (say that 10 times fast!) multicultural merchandising strategy and Pride businesses leader! Yes‚ really: Remember when @Target sold tucking swimwear for kids and their sales dropped‚ stock plunged‚ and they were sued by shareholders? Apparently they didn’t learn their lesson cuz they just hired an LGBTQ activist to lead their “LGBTQIA+ multicultural merchandising strategy and pride… pic.twitter.com/wDZW7hshKi — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) November 15‚ 2023 It’s no secret that the retail store Target has not endeared itself to Christians anytime lately. In fact‚ Target’s main focus in recent years has been about pushing ‘LGBTQ’ propaganda by prioritizing products that support that specific agenda. They’ve done this in spite of the mostly negative responses they’ve received for their trouble. Back in June‚ Target even backtracked on pushing their “pride” collection by forcing several stores to move the collection to the back of the building after receiving so much backlash. In spite of all of this‚ it doesn’t appear that the retail giant has learned any lessons. In fact‚ they appear to be doubling down‚ as they just promoted Erik Thompson as their ‘gay pride specialist’ to help them through this holiday season… Thompson‚ who has been with Target since 2016‚ will now serve as their “Senior LGBTQIA+ Strategist and Pride Lead.” What does that even mean?.. ‘DOUBLING DOWN’: Although Target faced Pride Month merchandise boycotts‚ a lawsuit‚ and a 10% decline in its stock following this year’s controversial collection‚ the retailer promoted Erik Thompson to Senior LGBTQ+ Strategist‚ according to reports.

Target has promoted Erik Thompson to Senior LGBTQIA+ Strategist and Pride Lead‚ according to a @LibsofTikTok post on X and Thompson’s LinkedIn profile. In his new role overseeing Target’s lesbian‚ gay‚ bisexual‚ transgender‚ intersex‚ queer/questioning‚ intersex‚ and asexual marketing‚ Thompson says he plans to “flip the script and rewrite the narrative of CPG [consumer packaged goods] retail industries to better serve all segments and thoughtfully &; authentically cater to *ALL guests‚ ALL humans &; ALL hearts* who enter our stores and across the nation.” Target Promotes ‘GayCruella’ To ‘LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist’ Amid Abysmal Sales From Pride Backlash https://t.co/YednhIXxw3 pic.twitter.com/kuFUjRZ4ce — Daily Wire News (@DailyWireNews) November 15‚ 2023 Daily Wire shed more light on the new role: Target reportedly selected a man named Erik Thompson as its Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist and Pride Lead‚ according to a post he shared on Instagram that was flagged by popular X account Libs of TikTok. Thompson‚ who goes by “gaycruella” on the social media platform‚ shared with followers that he was “honored” to accept the role. “Time to whip out the Glitter &; Hellfire flamethrowers and rip that old world to shreds darlings‚” the self-described Target corporate employee shared. “Let’s flip that script and rewrite that narrative. This time for ~ALL Guests‚ ALL Humans &; ALL Hearts.” A post featuring Thompson’s announcement was shared on X‚ which prompted many to react to the news on the original post. One commenter asked‚ “lol you gonna make Targets sales tank too?” to which Thompson responded‚ “Yes. Yes I will make sales tank‚” with heart and kissing emojis. Suffice to say‚ Target has really missed their mark… Remember when @Target sold tucking swimwear for kids and their sales dropped‚ stock plunged‚ and they were sued by shareholders?

Target’s newest pride strategist bringing a whole new LGBT spirit to Christmas https://t.co/d3MVR8h1qK — Washington Examiner (@dcexaminer) November 17‚ 2023 The Washington Examiner has more on what shoppers can expect this holiday season from Target: Gay Santas and LGBT-themed nutcrackers are set to line the shelves at Target this Christmas season as the retail giant makes another foray into the world of pride merchandise. Erik Thompson‚ who markets himself as a “Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist &; Pride Lead‚” is Target’s latest leader for multicultural merchandising. He announced his partnership with Target earlier this week in an Instagram post‚ citing the backlash and drop in sales that the retailer endured as a result of its Pride month merchandise featuring a “tuck-friendly” swimsuit. @Target is selling “Pride Christmas” nutcracker figurines: pic.twitter.com/wSbVstHGIS — Alex Nitzberg (@alexnitzberg) November 16‚ 2023 Have you seen @Target’s pride-themed Christmas decorations?

But worried where you will go? Stopped shopping there altogether after their ambiguous storefront family display. Avoid at all cost. These companies won’t ever learn and are willing to crash and burn over the agenda. — Five Times August (@FiveTimesAugust) November 15‚ 2023 If you’d prefer to stop supporting this nonsense‚ I have the solution for you…. Where Do You Shop If You Leave Target? Details HERE… The boycotts of woke corporations are working – even CNN is now acknowledging their power. And actually‚ it’s not just Boycotts but BUYcotts that are having a real impact. A Boycott means not shopping somewhere due to principles to make a statement. But a BUYcott is really powerful. A Buycott means you actually move your shopping somewhere else. A Boycott is kind of like a strike at work. Eventually most workers on strike just go right back to work at the same place. But a Buycott means you move away and never return. Now you can see why it’s so powerful! And why even the top level execs in these big companies are starting to admit that we are winning. And they’re getting scared. Check out this clip from CNN below… Of course‚ most of what CNN says here is nonsensical gaslighting about “inclusion” and how bad the right wing is. Their typical drivel. But some truth comes out in this segment — watch (transcript of highlights below): “Inclusion is good‚ and they know that‚ but they are trying to figure out how do you navigate like Target or Bud Light when you have so many people online are demanding that you boycott a product simply for being inclusive?”@ChristineRomans on GOP culture wars: pic.twitter.com/ixsJSkcnyt — CNN This Morning (@CNNThisMorning) June 19‚ 2023 From the video: Christine Romans:  . . . I think it caught the C-Suites by surprise‚ this right wing culture warrior movement. Inclusion has always been good business for these companies. Their employees want it‚ their customers want it. It’s always been‚ uh‚ a good business. And on earnings calls for years‚ you’ve heard these CEOs and CFOs talk about inclusion‚ uh‚ diversity and equity and inclusion‚ and all of a sudden they’re a little bit quieter about that because they’re seeing these instances where their brand has been pillared for being inclusive. And so they’re trying to figure out how to tread this water. Ron Brownstein: You know‚ these boycotts have to be seen‚ I think‚ as part of a broader movement. I mean‚ the Red States in many ways are building a nation within a nation on all sorts of issues . . . these companies‚ much as they wanna stay out of it‚ ultimately have to decide are they going to embrace the changing America‚ or they’re going to embrace this effort to‚ in effect‚ make America great again by going back to older rules and older values. Christine Romans:  . . . How you respond by not giving in to the right wing attack mob‚ but acknowledging‚ you know‚ your position. I think that’s for C-Suites‚ that’s what they’ve gotta figure out. The rapid response for the communications teams has gotta be better. You could lose either way . . . Ron Brownstein: The pressure is working on the C-suites — they’re pulling back. The boycotts and buycotts ARE working! So…that begs the question: if you stop shopping at Target‚ where should you go? Down the street to another big box store probably owned by the same big investors and selling the same products owned by Blackrock‚ Vanguard and StateStreet? NO! But as usual‚ I’m here with solutions. And it all ties into my new mission I started back in February. Kind of perfect timing‚ huh? The company I partnered with back in February already has many products that can replace the brands sold by woke corporations — and this company isn’t woke. This company is: — a family-owned manufacturer — provides non-toxic products for every area of your home — supports American jobs and families — is committed to making their products in the USA Not only that‚ but they’ve been doing it for over 35 years! In fact‚ reports are that their founder was once on Barack Obama’s “Most Dangerous Conservatives” list. So….why haven’t you heard of them? Because they do ZERO mainstream advertising.

Joe Biden’s inner circle is reportedly urging the Commander-in-Chief to walk shorter distances on camera and wear special shoes to reduce the risk of falling. The aging President turns 81 years old today. Biden insiders want him to walk 'shorter distances on camera‚' wear shoes that reduce falling risk: Report https://t.co/WYT6QCfnu1— Fox News (@FoxNews) November 20‚ 2023 From Fox News: People close to President Biden have reportedly pushed for him to replace formal shoes with more comfortable ones‚ as well as walk shorter distances on camera‚ as some Democrats question the Biden campaign’s plan to deal with the president’s age.  “People close to the president have discussed having him walk shorter distances while on camera. They’ve also advocated‚ at times‚ trading in formal shoes for more comfortable ones — both to make his stride seem less stiff‚ but also to reduce the risk of falls‚” Politico reported.  Democratic strategists and donors are reportedly frustrated over the Biden campaign’s handling of the age issue. Some have suggested they haven’t done enough to calm the concerns with the public; Biden turned 81 on Monday and is the oldest U.S. president in history. “Many donors are directly urging top campaign aides to go on offense‚ leaning even harder into Biden’s age as proof of his wisdom in turbulent times. They are pushing for more humor about ‘Grandpa Joe‚’” Politico reported.
