I agree, but I suspect these are in the pipeline for a while. But perhaps they could have postponed it.

The word can also refer to us who are simply left- handed. (I'm left in both politics and handedness, so I guess I'm a double lefty??)

We just got reminded that God loves all sinners and we prayed for all who have died and are bereaved. That's as it should be.

This is just another example among many of right wingers who claim to be Christian but know nothing about the Bible, traditions, or theology.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Thank you. I wonder: how many of these kids will stop speaking to the parents who endangered them? I had a neighbor who lost most of his hearing as a baby when he had measles. It was 1962, the year before the vaccination became available. But, how do you cope, if your parents chose this risk?

Retired pastor here. I once sent a confused new parent outside to the row of headstones directly behind our old church. 3 little stones mark the deaths of 3 children between 1 & 10: died July - Nov. 1897. Next is a slightly larger stone: Mother, who died Feb. 1898. Lesson learned. Baby got the DPT.

Let's have Trump roll out the test by taking it on live TV! That will be most entertaining. 🤣

It isn't. Trump's just stupid.

Yes. He looks very puffy.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
He looks unhappy, for sure. He probably knows that lots of Republicans vote by mail, and this is stupid.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I would never let a kid attend a church where the clergy hadn't been background checked, and in a denomination that doesn't have a "safe sanctuary " policy. The Baptists have an awful track record in this regard. Tim Alberta's "The Power and the Glory" has a lengthy section about this.

You're most welcome. I grew up about 40 miles from there, in Maryland. About the only palms one sees in Maryland, DC, & Virginia, where they aren't native, are smaller varieties used in landscaping, particularly around the beaches, and sometimes in pots. Needle palms and saw palmettos especially.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
There aren't any on that golf course. There are a few that can be used in landscaping and might be in Virginia Beach, but you don't see palms of that size in Virginia.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday. My older sister turns 78 in November and she's saying the same thing. My mother would have been 100 today, and she would definitely be in the same camp. I'll never forget how sad she was when Trump won in '16.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
They'll grow in the sumner, yes; and are sometimes seen in large pots. Some of the establishments around Virginia Beach include them in landscaping. But there aren't palm trees like that in the vicinity of that golf course.

Real Christians are horrified at his harm of the poor, cruelty to immigrants, and anti-health care policies. His "faith" officials support an apostate version of evangelical/charismatic Protestantism; followed by only a minority of Protestants. I suspect you're not in the US and familiar with this.

He's never studied it. When he was asked what his favorite verses were, he said "all of it". That's BS. No one thinks that the most beautiful and best- loved passages of scripture are no better than stuff like "And the King and Queen Esther ate dinner."

He's correct that theologically, prayer isn't a substitute for action. However , when praying is the ONLY action his party ever takes, people are understandably fed up and furious!

They largely stuck to a Top 50, if not Top 40, playlist with some oldies thrown in; but there were many crossover hits in the Top 40 back then. You'd hear pop, hard rock, r&b/soul, and some country in the space of an hour. Now, if you were still listening 2 hours later, you might hear them again...

Interesting. People who are so rigid and exaggerate other's wrongdoing - confusing a misdemeanor with criminality, for example - often have skeletons in their closets. I have to wonder....

There was NO "legal/illegal" until the 1880s for the Chinese, and the 1920s for everyone else. Do you have a high school diploma? Give it back. 🙄

You are an Irish American who has forgotten your history. Your ancestors were mistreated by those who acted the way you're acting now. You are shaming them. It's disgraceful - just like the pool of shit in the White House who abuses immigrants despite his immigrant wife, mother, and grandfather.

Nope. The article pokes holes in Bondi's account.

CBS found that the guard, who claimed she left to go to the restroom and that someone else returned Epstein to his room, lied. She leaves, returns, and can be seen on video returning him to his room.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
They surely didn't act like it here. Their investigation raises a lot of doubt about Bondi's account of this.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, when you read the article, there's even more missing, and there are a LOT of other discrepancies. It's very damning.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
No. The Senate has records that Epstein received that amount of money, but it's not known at this time where it was from.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
I was never a big fan of Ozzy's, but I listened to this yesterday and it's been in my head ever since.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
No, I'm being accurate. The Senator never said he knew the source of the transfers. He wants to investigate further but the Rs voted against it. Trump- and others - certainly could've gone to Epstein's homes & abused girld without having made wire transfers. This is a related but different issue.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
No, we don't know who the source of all that money was. It needs to be investigated, which is what the Senator is saying. We don't know which transfers, if any, involved Trump.
Donna (@retiredrevinga.bsky.social) reply parent
Me too! I had to use a clue.
