Contrary to our Lt Gov's (R-IN) belief that religion should be intertwined with politics, perhaps separation of the two is exactly what's needed?

Oh, and LT Gov Beckwith said that the "3/5th's Compromise was a great move."

The GOP is lying. They are distracting from their failures to address the health care crisis that they created.

I really detest this era where I'm forced to agree with Rand Paul. Of course, Sen Paul could've prevented this by voting for impeachment or not confirming Hegseth.

Unfortunately, 375 bench press is still my nemesis. I'm a little closer, though. I need more leg drive. #powerlifting #powerliftingmotivation #BlackSkyFitness #fitness #fitover55

Heavy squat today, 1x1 at 415 at the end of this block, on my road to 425. Bulgarian split squats suck, but I have to admit that they work!!

I've been lackadaisical recording my lifts lately, but here's my last set of 3x3 bench press at 320 lbs. It moved better than when I did it three months ago! #BlackSkyFitness #fitness #fitover55
