A Fort Worth church busy preparing to create and install our very own version of the 1600s Church of England.

These are the money changers that Jesus chased out. He has 4 words for them. "I never knew you."

TAX THE CHURCHES.

A real Christian operation would be training on Social services and building community. These are evil destructive forces.

“No Separation Between Church and State”: Inside a Texas Church’s Training Academy for Christians Running for Office A Fort Worth church’s candidate training program is the “next stage” of a religion-driven political movement, which has more latitude now that the IRS has allowed religious leaders to endorse candidat...

NEW: A Fort Worth church is offering a $100 online academy that aims to train conservative Christians to run for office.

At the core of the program is the idea that there's no separation between what happens within the church and in the government.

NEWS: Late last night Trump ordered once again by court to pay full SNAP to hungry people: “The record here shows that the government sat on its hands for nearly a month, unprepared to make partial payments.”

The Washington Commanders may name their new team stadium after Trump -- what a vile and disgraceful suck-up that would be! Their fans should object vehemently.

"With your support, and with God, we’ll find a way out of this...”

No health care, no deal.

BlueSky shoutout on Abbot Elementary!

Lowering costs is the top priority for the American people. I voted against this budget bill because it does not prevent health insurance premiums from doubling for so many Americans. The President and Congressional Republicans should have come to the table to work with us to lower these costs.

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fru...

In recent years, FDA inspectors have uncovered disturbing lapses in facilities producing food bound for American supermarkets.

Now, under the second Trump administration, inspections are their lowest since 2011, excluding the pandemic.

Since I’ve been using my Nebula class a lot in STO this past week, I might as well use that as an excuse to make a gif of one of my favourite warp out sequences.

The funniest thing in football is when a coach down like 38-7 will cover his mouth with his play sheet as though he's worried the opponent will steal his play calls that are doing so well

Pentagon cancels Veterans Day NFL flyovers because of shutdown - UPI.com No military-sponsored events, including flyovers, will take place at this week's Veterans Day "Salute to Service" NFL games -- another victim of the federal government shutdown.

Veterans Day is Tuesday, and unlike previous years, there will not be honor guards and military service members unveiling American flags, in addition to the lack of a flyover, at the 13 NFL games on Sunday and Monday.

honestly think the Lions have just executed better offensively today -- not sure what Campbell's play calling situation is or isn't, though he clearly seems to be calling them

last week was just nowhere near their standard at the LOS

Over 8,500 Flights Disrupted Sunday As Government Shutdown Snarls Air Travel Hundreds of flights out of major airports were delayed Sunday, including in New York, Chicago and Atlanta.

Ngl the loud booing for Pete Hesgeth at the Lions/Commanders game felt real good

As seen on Fox News: Prices are increasing under Trump.

Millions of farmers, small business owners, and families are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket because Trump and Congressional Republicans refuse to come to the table and negotiate with Democrats.

Americans deserve better.

For-Profit Corporations Are Buying Up More Psychiatric Hospitals. Some Flout Federal Law With Scarce Repercussions. Psychiatric hospitals — increasingly owned by for-profit corporations — are illegally turning away patients during crises. Yet only a handful face penalties, with fines that are trivial, a ProPublica ...

Around 80% of the psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. that have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years are owned by for-profit corporations.

Only a few have faced any repercussions from regulators.

The name Seamus spelled out in flower petals on a beach at sunset

My son Seamus died 15 years ago today. He was killed by a careless driver in a crosswalk.

He walked at 9 months, almost as if he knew he wouldn’t have much time. His favorite thing to do was throw rocks into water. He loved the moon. He called butterflies “buddy buddies.” I miss him every day.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets Sarah Lungwitz has fretted over feeding not just her two teenage daughters with SNAP payments disrupted, but her family's cat and two dogs. Help has arrived for now, she says, after an Illinois nonpr...

No one is seeing the silent suffers in this. A pet is family. A lot on snap budget what little money they have to make sure their pet is taken care of. It would break my heart to see shelters overwhelmed because of this. I also fear what happens when it gets desperate.

I need to go and wash my hair, a chore I’ve been putting off for the past two days. I don’t know why I think it’s such a chore but there you have it. I’ll be back in a bit. Meanwhile I hope you have something pleasant in your day.

Exciting news — Purple Rain opened this week at the State Theatre in Minneapolis! It’s a powerful celebration of Prince, honoring the incredible songs he left us, the artistic integrity he stood for, and, in true Minnesota fashion, all things purple.

James Watson, co-discoverer of DNA’s double-helix shape, dies at 97 Breakthrough turned Watson into a hallowed figure in world of science, though he faced condemnation for offensive remarks later in life

So, we all know that the structure of DNA was only discovered in 1953, 72 years ago, but it still seems astounding that it wasn’t discovered earlier. 72 years ago is not that long ago, in the scope of human history.

RIP James Watson, great scientist.

Trump’s VA Made It Harder for Male Veterans to Get Treatment for Breast Cancer. Lawmakers Want to Fix That. After ProPublica revealed changes to how the Department of Veterans Affairs covers men with breast cancer, House members demanded the agency reverse its decision. Separately, new Senate legislation wo...

“It is clear with this decision that VA has callously put political calculations and adherence to unscientific executive orders above its obligations to provide care to veterans,” lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
