Zeno of Citium c.335–c.263 bc Greek philosopher, founder of Stoicism, stated:

“The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may listen the more and talk the less.”

(Diogenes Laertius Lives of the Philosophers ‘Zeno’ ch. 7)

If we would only heed this simple observation. Teaching the book of Job has demonstrated to me that we are often waiting for someone to finish talking so we can jump in with our big ideas or advice. Job’s so-called friends cannot wait to tell him why he is suffe…

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 don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

I have a friend who has relatives in Australia. He is a caring individual. But he sees no problem with the Australian government's tyrannical measures to impose lockdowns in the holy grail quest for 0 Covid. When I told him the quarantine areas reminded me of concentration camps, he got very angry. "You have to understand this is in the service of preserving health!"

My family is the same (except my mother). My dad couldn't wait to get his booster and called vitamin D "quackery". My mother and brother came down with covid and my mum took Ivermectin and was better the next day. My brother refused the "horse medicine" and would "defeat it with his protection from the vaccine". He was sick for another week. All these people are lost. Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and ultimately, physically. Most of them won't lift a finger when the oppression becomes full-blown persecution.
