I do a lot of things. Most are mindless, and center around being the sole caregiver for two (#3, incoming) disabled family members.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.
Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying.

Maybe all the orgs, including churches, should be required to file 'em. ECFA, ironic.
A nonprofit watchdog group, Trinity Foundation, has identified 60+ religious nonprofit orgs with assets totaling $1.8 billion that no longer file IRS Form 990's.
Groups from Sean Feucht Ministries to ECFA have reclassified with the IRS to avoid filing this disclosure.

When I am feeling cynical about the state of the world, I try to remind myself to double down on love.
Loving those who are different than me leads to hope, and cynicism stands no chance against divine hope.

Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
