I was raised with a different version, but it dawned on me that the current rendition probably goes:

"Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the US,
Blank, blank, blank, blank, blank, and white,
They are precious in his sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the US"

One thing becomes more apparent the older I get:

If you see somebody steal food... no, you didn't.

MLK didn't dream of a world without judgment. He had a dream that it was based on character.

I'm old enough to barely remember the wall coming down. I didn't expect the USSR to win the Cold War in 2025. Did anybody have that on their bingo card?

Acts of protest are becoming more organic, random, and most importantly, without concern if it's a 'legal' protest. The goal is peace, not lawful evil.

Never before have I seen so much organic movement from vastly different groups. And it's all pointed toward the same target.

Trump has ordered the shutdown of the first nationwide database tracking misconduct by federal police officers.

The closure ends the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database — a resource experts said improved public safety by preventing bad officers from jumping from agency to agency.

'Beware the Ides of March'

With a potential government shutdown coming March 14th, and the love of Roman iconography held by fascists, should we be piqued to wariness?

Federal income tax is going away, and he thinks the states should fend for themselves. Why have a federal government when it can't serve the people in that condition?

Trump just undid the only good thing GWB did in his entire 8 years.
Many sudden and shocking health care developments this week. But this was a big one: The Trump administration on Friday paused funding for PEPFAR, the famed program to fight HIV/AIDS around the world.

🚨 John Coughenour, a US district judge, has suspended Trump's executive order to end US citizenship birthright.

He called Trump's order “blatantly unconstitutional”.

The ruling follows from a lawsuit filed by four Democratic state attorneys-general led by Washington state.

The Refuges’s are stranded. Those who’ve filed all, taken all the steps needed. There are cases around the nation with what’s referred to as “World Orphans”—kids with no one due to war, etc. They’re stranded, funding halted. 🤬
