This is something I enjoyed reading about first thing in the morning… there’s more than enough discourse about Thunderbolts out there.

The Kenyan government has officially launched its Shirika Plan, an initiative to turn the country’s two refugee camps – Dadaab and Kakuma – into self-reliant integrated settlements. The plan has been cited as a major step forward Kenya’s 800,000 refugees, the majority of whom are from neighboring Somalia and South Sudan.

Yesterday would have been my grandpa’s 91st birthday. I’m glad I have so many memories of him and that I documented some of those memories in this newsletter I sent out last August. Miss you, grampa!

"Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) blamed Biden for the attack".

"Appearing on the Fox News Channel last night, DeSantis blamed Biden for the crisis. “He said he was going to end Covid,” DeSantis said. “He hasn’t done that.”"

Dr. Richardson, why are you taken aback? You are a historian and know that......

These two sentences point to the real culprit: Profound American ignorance that has resulted in Fox News and One America News being able to say any lie and have it immediately lapped up like warm milk by …

Dang Mike. Spot on analogy. "...Believing the white man at the front of the church... no matter what he says."

Mike S's avatar

Thanks Gail. I guess I will admit, as a kid and young man, I was one of those sitting in the church believing the nutty stuff I heard from the Southern Baptist white man at the front of the Church.

But, after the list of ways to get to hell got long enough, I figured, well, since I am already going to hell anyway, I might as well just ignore these guys at the front of the church and enjoy my life.

After that, I started thinking for myself, which, quite honestly, was painful.

It was much easier to believe than to think. Much.

I had that fire and brimstone upbringing also, though before the SBA grew its power. My grandfather was a member of the Dover Association, which I think is now defunct, and faithfully slept through the sermon in the second row for 60 years. With a family full of politicians during the demise of the Byrd machine in Virginia my cynicism began in watching the meetings at the kitchen table, often including said pastor. Who ultimately ran away with the church secretary. 😜

Just looked, Dover Association still around. Seems to be missions related rather than doctrine related these days. Anyhoo, I formally resigned when women were forbidden the pulpit and the Baptist Averett University was threatened with defunding for teaching Darwinism, though I’d left it behind years earlier.
