I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Bill Owens is a journalist, who has worked at “60 Minutes,” the finest and most venerable journalistic program in the United States, for 24 years, and for the last six as its executive producer.
He has been forced out of “60 Minutes” by the insatiable greed of Shari Redstone, who has demanded that Bill Owens bend the knee to Donald Trump.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Still not sure what this Substack thing even is or how to gain impressions. All I know to do is post here and there and just try and settle myself into this community and perhaps everything will work out on its own….

Today I learned about a term called a "glimmer." Which is the opposite of a trigger. Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude.
Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.
Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.
I heard a new one from my sister who is an expert because she’s married to a doctor: the unvaxxed are causing the variants. This is the latest strategy for demonizing the unvaxxed, though I haven’t heard Fauci say it out loud yet. Has anyone else?
Easy question to debunk this. Why are variants emerging NOW when we have vaccines and not when everyone was unvaxxed (before vax became available?). If not being vaxxed causes variants then we should have seen a plethora last year. If the response is - well - it only happens when part of the population is unvaxxed - then the cause of variants is vaccination - not the unvaxxed.
The other question is - what would force a virus to mutate? When it encounters a pristine immune system or when it encou…
Great thoughts....and thanks for stimulating my brain further. Another question: what does "fully vaxxed" mean anymore anywho? One shot? (j&J) two shots? 2+ booster? Everyone who is currently ill has the last cocktail in my circle of contacts.
After HS I dated a girl who's father was the Dean of Law at an ultra prestigious University on the West Coast. I was attending community College in TX. She would fly me out every weekend from TX to CA. See in the house she grew up in, there was credit card drawer for the kids. When they needed money, they grabbed one of the cards. When they needed cash, they'd hit the petty cash drawer.
In my parent's house, we didn't have any of that shit in HS. We would use those cards for all kinds of things…
Surprise, we expected this, I wrote about something like this the other day. I had assumed it would be to farmers directly but hey 1 million dollars to vote for your own personal demise and freedoms will likley make a difference? Just a note about this, the democrats in WI have not done enough to grow dissent in targeted areas, they ran …
