SPOTTED on an electronic billboard in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The character displayed by Jimmy Carter throughout an inspiring, purpose-driven life makes for a depressing contrast when compared to the moral cesspool that is about to enter the White House on January 20.

Fucking HILARIOUS that these hypocritical Christian Senators have so much forgiveness in their souls for Pete Hegseth abusing women and cheating on his wives but they couldn't find any grace for private citizen Hunter Biden, who isn't running for anything.

Give me a fucking break.

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

So many people have lost their fear of the Lord. When we mock, relentlessly judge & make jokes about people who are suffering so we can maintain our political take, we’ve forgotten there’s a God in the heavens who hears. Humility is recognizing we are all just one disaster from losing everything.
