Divine Jewish Intervention  

When an unexplainable occurrence (aka miracle) happens causing/allowing one to save money.

Examples of this phenomenon are plentiful. Finding a coupon right before you're about to buy something. Discovering a discount at the register for something you're about to buy. Noticing that you have an extra $100 in savings you forgot about. Finding an extra $5 in your purse you never knew was there. Tampax being put on sale during the week you just so happened to start your period. The list goes on and on.....
"Honey, remember that resturant we're going to on Friday? I just got a coupon for it in the mail! It's Divine Jewish Intervention!"

"I went to the store expecting to pay $100 for those shoes but Divine Jewish Intervention caused them to only ring up for $80!"

divine intervention 

When a miracle happens. When the hand of God reaches down and saves someone from a life threatening or dangerous situation.
When someone is placed in the right place at the right time to be a catalyst for someone in need, when the person in need may have been in angst about how they would get through a certain situation.
It has nothing to do with sports.
When I was sick, and didn't know how I was going to get by, or eat- get medicine, and someone was anonymously inspired to slip assistance under my door, or bring me food or take me to a doctor.

Missing any form of transportation you were supposed to be on, and discovering it was in a terrible accident, or driving a different way to work/school, or where ever you were to go and missing a major accident.
Those who were running late or stopped to do something else, or were scheduled to be out of the office on 9/11- any scenario when a life or injury was spared because of out of the norm circumstances. To me these are more plausible examples of divine intervention.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
