Husband NEVER allows us to skip the intro song!!
What I like about the Mick Jagger Slow Horses song is that it's basically one of those Will Smith raps where he just describes the premise and events of the movie.

Christianity Today is an influential magazine in Evangelical circles, and it's a noteworthy signpost that they're doing stories like this because it's the kind of story that pops bubbles.

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

That's a prosperous looking home with that vehicle and all. How many Jamaicans can afford to put up panels? Do they have to own their homes to do so? Do their homes need to be very sturdy, not shacks?

Helping put together a no-barrier giving event for the local low-income Hispanic community (food, toiletries, clothes). Sorting donations today. And someone donated this.
And I have to say, donating your used bondage gear to a charity clothes drive is a...choice.

I truly believe that it won't matter when Trump shows up in the Epstein files. His cult is so brainwashed that they will immediately start spinning why it's ok.
He was right. He can do anything and they will cheer.
