Jesus told a parable that maps onto trmp's exorcism from the White House in 2020 and his returning to it in 2025.

Booker said he may be a little hoarse, but I think he's a stallion.

Over there on Facebook they have developed a way to scan screenshots and to match them against banned content. I shared the image below from a screenshot, and within a minute they had tagged it saying that there is no evidence that Trump said this.

I see Zelensky posted something on X. I don't have an account, but if I did, I would send him a message support. I hope millions do.

Zelensky stood up to Trump. He is the leader supported by his people. He should not step down. David defeated Goliath.

The World Court should try Trump. He has paced our Supreme Court.

How can we send our messages of support to Zelensky? Trump and Vance ganged up on him like a couple school yard bullies.

Most civilians in Germany supported Hitler to the bitter end, despite knowing that mass deportations were going on and despite WWII. Will the same thing happen again? Yes, unless people who voted for Trump dissociate themselves from him join the resistance.

DHS Secretary Noem says Musk's seizure of federal databases is an audit. Thank goodness. I was worried the the musketeers were computer hackers, but now it seems they are Certified Public Accountants.

We found out today that the new low-cost housing building here in Spring Lake, MI, which is funded by Samaritus, a Lutheran Social Service organization, has had to put the brakes on as it nears completion because the money from the treasury deprartment has suddenly been cut off.

I wonder what would happen if all over the country people walked out and clogged up major roads stopping traffic say on Friday and shut everything down.

Now that the Trump Taliban has effectively taken over our government, removing the oversight of inspector generals, destroying protections of DEI, and shutting down funding for domestic and international programs, he may sign an exec order that women must stay home unless chaperoned by a man.

Have you noticed how stupid AI spell checkers are? In my post I typed twisted view, but AI liked roasted and changed it. It's like having a stenographer who makes a lot of mistakes. I need to proof read more carefully.

Kenneth Burke told us about termnistic screens. The vocabulary we use shapes our perception. If people listen to Trump and his vocabulary, they are in danger of being drawn into his roasted view of reality.

I've attended DEI workshops that helped me understand behavior that disrespects women, people of color, and LBGTQ people. They helped me to be courteous. I thought I wasn't prejudiced, but I began to understand that we all have subconscious attitudes that we need to surface and deal with.
