BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

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

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

Concerning Abortion: There have been over one Billion abortions worldwide! Is that not enough blood for you? I distinctly remember C. Everett Koop, former US Surgeon General and Pediatric Surgeon, saying, "In 60 years of Practice, I have never had to choose between the life of the mother or the baby, nor have any of my Associates!" Tragically, it does happen, but these VERY RARE instances where the life of the mother takes precedent over the life of the baby, does not justify making ALL abortio…

Yeh Tim, save the babies and kill the mothers. One think I know, as a genetic genealogist is that personality and character traits are inherited, and the products of a rape all too often grow up to be sociopaths and psycho paths. A particularly famous case comes to mind: Ted Bundy.

A waitress who was violently raped gave up her child, to a loving Christian family, who at age 8 snuck out his bedroom window and strangled a female playmate.

My personal opinion is that you could care less about babie…

I will repeat what I said, since you apparently missed it: In the VERY RARE cases where the ONLY choice is between the life of the mother and the life of her baby, the mother's life takes precedent -- THAT is her choice! James Robison, a product of rape, is one of the best Preachers and Ministers I have ever heard. Only God knows the causes of individual behavior. I take it that you went to a school that taught "mind-reading" along with the ability to diagnose people you have never met. Your "p…

I have read your screed, and don't believe it.

I fully realize that personal opinions are just that, but I also know that someone has to counter your propaganda. I could care less what your beliefs and motivations are, but I do care about you spreading religious and right wing propaganda.

It is bullshit like yours that is responsible for the turmoil and loss of rights.

To paraphrase the late, great Dizzy Dean, " It ain't 'propaganda,' if it's the truth!" Correct me, if you will, with the truth. I am still learning. And as far as I can tell, the only one trying to take away my rights are the Democrats. And I will not stand by, and allow the Republicans to take away your rights, or mine. If I am anything other than a Christian, I am a Libertarian: If they would leave me alone and let me be a good American Citizen, I would let them serve "We the People." But the…

Tim,being pro-choice is not taking away your rights. Forcing babies to be born in a world where they would prefer to be dead ,needs to be stopped! I reckon you haven't suffered very much in life thanks to FDR. Thanks to voodoo economics and Ronald Reagan, a few rich people will take you back to the dark ages in their little dungeons, so lots of luck.

Tim Cantrell's avatar

As Reagan's speech-writer once wrote, "Everyone who is for abortion has already been born." I don't believe FDR gave my Grandfather his job on the Frisco Railroad. I agree that our current debt/overspending Problem began under Ronald Reagan. And we'll never know if the "line-item-Veto" that he requested would have made a difference. God will hold the "rich" responsible: I understand that those of us who live in the United States are in the top 10% of the world. "To whom much is given, much will…

Tim, voodoo economics is to give the rich tax breaks (50 trillion+), freetrade with China, Nixon normalized relations, legalizing illegal immigrants to bust unions (raygun, 5 million of them). The gop even bought up the dem part;y, remember the raygun democrats?
