And, if you follow Mamdani and others like him you can see they are no different than the majority of nice, non-judgmental citizens of the US ... as opposed to many Christians who believe theirs is the only religion & go about judging everyone else. Religion belongs in places of worship & home.

Trump is addicted to chaos, why, because he has a God complex, believing he himself can fix the chaos. This feeds his ego, however, when it fails he moves on to create another chaotic setting, over & over again, expecting a different outcome (solved). Insanity leads to shattered lives in its wake.

I have watched two of three people decline over the years of their dementia. 1 of the three was married & his wife declined until passing. John did not have dementia however, he passed just a few months later of a broken heart. They had been married since getting out of HS (60yrs back). Sad indeed.

My 93yo father passed last 12/25. Sadly, he suffocated on a large portion of food caught in his wind pipe during a time discussions were leading to the same fate as Bruce. He had, days before, stepped across that line into oblivion. Mixed emotions, but thankful he no longer has to be lost.

Appears to me somebody is scared or a somebody finds a need for a religious culture police force. I don't remember well these days but it is likely the idea can be found in the pages of the American Taliban's manifesto, Protect 2025.

Hopefully there's at least one person involved in the codes that makes a great actor, because they would be the protector of all life against batshit crazy.

Sure. So many assumptions being brought on people one does not even know. Pity.

A friend of mine for 40 yrs before passing in 2020 from covid was FTM trans. He worked for me about 10y & was a trans person who, on the surface, lived a life like any one else on the human spectrum. Nobody ever knew. His position was one of that, what goes on in the bedroom is nobody's business.

Trans peeps have existed among the populace for millennia. They blended into invisible. It's was only when they come out of the invisible state of living & got loud with a 'look at me' campaign where they experienced today's hardships. I believe, as possibly Gavin, they shot themselves in the foot.

Young and right-minded she is even if it's at state level. State level impacts national level which makes it all the more important we have advances into the politic arena at all levels pushing back on the ugly we currently experience. This means from villages all the way to the national presidency.

Great news indeed. I have not done homework on the woman, but my hope is she leans left of ctr. I believe it's time for change by focusing on what the younger generations want from our govt. Mamdani is leading with younger ideology. It is truly time to evolve. Take lessons from Nordic Govt's.
