Someone asked what I do for a living….I run a large non-profit organization that is known for our food pantries. We have a couple of food pantries and we do food deliveries for folks as well.

And I always get the “Why don’t these people work?” line.

Let me explain something.

Most of the folks that come to our food pantry are elderly. What job do you want these folks to have?

And the younger ones? I hate to break it to you, but these are people that aren’t fit for the workforce.

These are fol…

Taylor Swift once said:

sometimes giving up is the strong thing sometimes to run is the breve thing sometimes walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing.

¿Cuál es el mejor momento para hacerse a un lado si las cosas no están saliendo bien?

¿Es sano seguir luchando por algo con entusiasmo, resiliencia, empuje y hasta con orgullo, cuando el sistema está roto?

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

I live life in a way that I can look back on it and never utter the phrase “I wish I would have… “ insert regret.

I take risks. I have paid dearly for some. Didn't like what I went through while going through it.

But DAMN! Life has been grand!

We launched one of the biggest operations deep into Russia. Dozens of successful strikes. Some targets were 4,000 kilometers away.

But tell me, did you see a single image of a bombed apartment?

A Russian mother screaming in the dust?

A Russian child buried in bricks?

No. Because we don’t hit civilians.

We fight to live, not to destroy.

I might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;

Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?

It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.

Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.

Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.

Stop clinging to the broken version of the person you love.

You weren’t called to fix them.

You were called to trust the God who can.

You don’t have to carry their healing. You just have to stop standing in the way of it.

How can a man who’s not even barely coherent insist anything? It’s understandable that his cult believes his every word - whether pronounced correctly or not - but the media? Does not the media depend on coherence?

Linda Biondi's avatar

where have you been, Dave? Mainstream media has given him a pass for years. Every lie, every threat, every rant has been treated with reverance. They are complicit in the destruction of our democracy.

Guess I “gone fishing” …

While Trump was demeaning Pres. Zelensky in the Oval Office and sneering he has “no cards,” Zelensky was planning a major Russian attack that has successfully damaged or destroyed some 41 aircraft deep inside Russia. Who’s the weak one?

Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a nursing home executive who illegally withheld millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

The pardon came after his mother attended a $1M-per-person Trump fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago last month.

Everything is for sale.
