I have been meaning to post this, but today it is clearer than ever:

With Donald Trump, we now know what it is like to live in the Confederate States of America under Jeff Davis and Alex Stephen's.

On the Epstein files, it is fairly simple. The messaging needs to be: "The American people need to know if their Commander in Chief is a pedophile. If he isn't, release the Epstein files. If he is, then keep hiding them. Mr. President, you are telling the people you are a pedophile."

#SEC does not deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore.

#ND is so much better than AL and OK.

@eliothiggins.bsky.social why did you name it "Bellingcat"?

It is time for us to put business and industry at the service of humanity, not humanity at the service of business and industry.

Happy 2nd Day of Chirstmas. It is St. Stephen Day, the first martyr of the church. He was a deacon and was arrested and stoned for preaching about Jesus. Check him out at Acts 6-7.

After we get through this mess, we need to make serious changes to the Constitution.
Direct election of Presidents
Age limit on Presidents
Convicted felon exclusion for Presidential candidates
Population defined representation of Senators
Civil Service selection of Attorney General
Undo Citizens U

@bcbsara.bsky.social so, are you going to ask Matt Shaw if he supports the blatantly racist Turning Point Movement and does he want his fellow players who are immigrants deported? Does he support JD Vance's openly KKK rhetoric? Does Ricketts support the openly anti-immigrant racist group?

Happy 4th Sunday of Advent.

Having secret police is wrong.
Hating God's creation because of the color of their skin or where the Lord put them on the planet is a sin.

None of this is Christian.
You were right to trust your lying eyes.

For the first time in my local housing authority history, payments to Landlords are late. HUD did not deposit the funds in time.

It is not my renter's fault, nor the local housing authority. It is a Donald J. Trump problem.

Newsstand: Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire takes veiled shot at Notre Dame: on3.com/teams/notre-...

So, another person who doesn't know own that ND is not in a Conference because no conference wanted a Catholic School when they tried to join in the 1920s. So, they made their way, anyway.
Newsstand: Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire takes veiled shot at Notre Dame
Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire didn't mention Notre Dame by name, but it certainly seems as if he was talking about the Irish.

Never thought I would say this: can we have cable vision back?

All this streaming service nonsense is driving me nuts. Let me watch my sports teams without having to be leveraged to purchase your subpar streaming service.

@hilaryagro.com I think we need to talk. I watched your video about men and their struggles.

In my work as a hospice chaplain I habe noticed a phenomenon in the men who are 75 yrs old plus (which is the #1 demographic for death by suicide). They all feel like failures, almost every one.

It is not because Donald Trump did it that I think it is bad. What is being done is bad and it just happens to be done by Trump. If he quits doing what is bad, then I would appreciate him. Until then, I cannot support a liar, a fraud, an adulterer, who is a felon.

It is not Christian to do so.

Why does it seem so obvious that no one who is a convicted felon should be able to even run for President or any office in Congress?
