Basic middle-aged suburban white dude and ex-Christian with a secular interest in the Bible. Gridiron, fútbol, sci-fi, history, Xennial pop culture. Lefty in both dominant hand and politics.
My It's a Wonderful Life take is that the classic SNL parody "lost ending" is a legit good ending.

I'm an atheist, but if God exists there are two things I'm certain of about him:
1. He enjoys punishing the Aggies.
2. He likes making different kinds of beetles.

With all due respect, God does not care about your performance in a sporting event.
You are not, in fact, His worldly agent carrying out a divine punishment of Texas A&M.

Yes, the FBI does a very good job of tracking down alleged perpetrators when a family member turns them in.
Q: Has Kash Patel told you why it's been so difficult for the FBI to identify who the shooter is?
TRUMP: It's always difficult. So far we're done a very good job of it with Charlie, with the various times this has happened. You'll have to ask the school about that.
