If anyone figured out cloning over the summer please let me know…was definitely expecting to have a bus to help with school logistics this year. 😬

Welp, just got the email that my kid did not get a bus for CHS. Her bus was completely full last year, I’m guessing they are over capacity and she got cut.

America is now truly great

I grew up playing volleyball and we were required to wear long denim skirts! So I can kind of relate to the difficulty! 😄

This is why my daily to-do lists are so long!! They literally start with:
•get up
•shower
•get dressed
etc.,etc.
😄

I was just informed that our Country’s “Jobs Numbers” are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under “TRUMP” despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting “Kamala” elected – How did that work out? Jerome “Too Late” Powell should also be put “out to pasture.” Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Incredible -- Trump moves to make the government cook the jobs numbers

I love this bouquet, gorgeous!

Lord, have mercy. America is complicit in this suffering. 😢

If any of the dozens of congresspeople responsible for overseeing the Pentagon could say something, anything, that'd be great

Restore to them the assurance of your unfailing mercy; remove from them the fears that beset them; strengthen them in the work of thei recovery; and to those who care for them, give patient understanding and persevering love. Amen.

Our Rector opened the service with this (amended) prayer this morning,

O blessed Lord, you ministered to all who came to you: Look with compassion upon all who through [mental illness or] addiction have lost their health and freedom.

Summer swim team always feels it going to never end, and then all the sudden you have your final meet, then JSL CHAMPS, then your team’s award ceremonies, then you have to say goodbye to the seniors. …sob….
Go Dolphins! FSBC forever! ♥️🖤♥️

Just as a clarification, the attack started in the parish hall before the service had started, while people were arriving at church. He was eventually tackled in the nave and restrained until the police arrived. So thankful the injuries were all minor. 🙏

It was eventful, started with several parishioners being assaulted by an individual suffering from a mental health episode. Once we were able to start the service we were somber, pretty shaken up, sad for the man who attacked us, and thankful it that there were only minor injuries.

It’s a large congregation so I don’t know about everyone, but he was not known to any of the people that he attacked, it felt very random. I’m not sure what set him off and he only had expletives for everyone so it was unclear what he was upset about.

It was actually before the service began, not during. He was in the building at 9:30, not sure how long he had been there, but he was calm at that point, that changed fairly quickly. The police arrived about 9:50, by that time he had been restrained but not before attacking multiple people.

The individual has now been identified, but was unknown to us at the time. Definitely appears to be a mental health issue. When I first arrived he was perfectly calm, and then he suddenly began attacking people.

Assault Incident at Saint Paul’s Memorial Church This morning at approximately 9:45 a.m., officers responded to a report of an assault in progress during a church service at Saint Paul’s Memorial Church, located at 1701 University Avenue.

Yikes is right. Very unsettling for everyone, and sad to see someone so dysregulated.

This morning an individual entered our church before the service began and started randomly punching & chasing people, & throwing furniture. The person was arrested and removed by the police. We are rattled but it could have been so much worse, thankfully all injuries seem minor. 🙏 ⚓️

My husband finished the @ragbrai.bsky.social ride today, unfortunately his bicycle seat broke before he reached the end, so he rode the last 8 miles standing up. 😄
This Brooks saddle is the same one he used when he rode RAGBRAI back in 1984, it is over 43 years old and had over
50k miles on it!

Wait! FEMA has money to build concentration camps but doesn’t have money to help communities rebuild from floods, hurricanes, and wildfires?

Good!

When I suggested Democrats hold daily press conferences to share stories of Republican pedophiles, I meant they could bring up all the old stories.

I didn’t think that we’d get new stories about a GOP pedophile every day, but whatever works I guess

They were in the Walmart parking lot and at 5th Street station yesterday.

Y’all. What are we doing?

So easy to make the man look like the fool he is, more people should do this and stop being cowards.

😆 that would work!!!

Yep!
