I have to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time.

The tl;dr is that the case for bringing about Armageddon via a war with Iraq is batshit insane.

And don't get me started on John of Patmos. I think most Christians confuse the author of Revelation with the John who was a disciple. But scholars since medieval times have declared this not the case.

Like, even if I believed everything in the gospels, literally none of it had Jesus saying "BTW, there's gonna be this weird misogynist contradicting me. Listen to him too."

One thing that always bugged me even when I was a Christian is why I should give a shit about any book in the new testament other than the gospels.

My mom always loved the hymn They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love and I have to say, seeing someone actually being loving does not make me immediately think "Christian" these days.

This skeet brought to you by the idea that bombing Iranian schools brings about the return of Christ.

I get why MAGA and the church are so intertwined. They've read neither the Bible nor the Constitution.

Seems like every other week I'm going to a visitation or a funeral. I don't advertise my day job on here. But if you need someone to talk to about life insurance. Hit me up. I'm licensed in Minnesota, Missouri and Iowa.

I think they all get the joke. But they literally asked what looks phonetic.

This is why you don't trust press conferences.

There are still 650 ICE/HSI agents in Minnesota, according to Kristi Noem, who was grilled today over her "domestic terrorism" claims about Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

When I posted this news yesterday, I left out another important piece of context. BrewDog’s β€œEquity for Punks” crowd-source campaign raised Β£75 million pounds (or $100m in today’s dollars) alone. That is 2.5 times the amount Tilray paid *for the entire company.*

Just to give you a sense of things.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been β€œinundated” with more than 110 complaints.

One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

Let mosques become polling stations, says Muslim group
The Daily Telegraph3 Mar 2026By Charles Hymas home affairs editor
A MUSLIM group barred from engaging with the Government wants mosques to become polling stations.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) says using mosques as polling stations would encourage Muslims to vote.

The call comes ahead of the May 7 local elections and polls in the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales.

An Mcb-branded video posted on Facebook last week was headlined: β€œSign your Mosque up as a polling centre today!” In the clip, Imam Abid Salik, of Hull Mosque, said using mosques as polling centres β€œbreaks down barriers” and β€œencourages Muslims to vote”.

β€œIt opens people’s minds that a Masjid [Mosque] is not just a place where you come, you pray, you leave. It is a place for the community. It’s a central hub for Muslims and non-muslims for whatever need is required,” he said. β€œSo the fact that we have a big huge polling station sign outside our Masjid, it allows non-muslims to enter the mosque for probably the first time in their life.”

The UK Government has maintained a long-standing policy of non-engagement with the MCB, the UK’S largest Muslim umbrella body.

This stems from historical allegations that some members held extremist views or supported violence against Israel. The policy continues despite the MCB’S denials of any extremist links.

John Cleese, the comedian and actor, took to X to express his concerns at the β€œabsurd” call for polling stations in mosques. β€œHow could a Jew walk into a mosque to vote in a British election, without feeling trepidation?” he said.

β€œAn MCB spokesman said: β€œMany churches, mosques, synagogues, mandirs and other places of worship act as community centres and civic hubs that have been used as polling centres in the UK for generations.”

"Let mosques become polling stations, says Muslim group" Telegraph not happy with this despite the fact we use church halls...

The call is being made by the Muslim Council of Britain. The person quoted in objection is John Cleese.

Jobs numbers have always been about distracting from an ever increasing wage gap and exponentially growing cost of living.

Going from "gambling is a moral stain and must be illegal" to "betting on whether people will be bombed before or after 6pm Saturday is perfectly normal" is one hell of a societal whiplash.

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.

Hennepin County Sheriff’s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.

This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

Something that this situation will hopefully help people internalize: law enforcement think of everything we do as something they are 'allowing' us to do. We are livestock to be disciplined at their discretion, and any resistance to discipline must be punished.

they’re just jealous ice agents get to do their crimes and get away with it 100% of the time as opposed to the cops who only get away with their crimes 99% of the time

Watch what’s happening in the background of Jason’s video. Does this look like some riot to you?
