Jesus told the Roman governor Pontius Pilate "My kingdom is not of this world."

People like MTG need to know that the first constitution of the State of California named two official languages - Spanish and English.

I would like more Blue Jays updates, please. Some real-time gloating over Yankee lamentation fits the bill nicely.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

That kind of behavior is why ICE wears masks.

The military had a recruitment and retention problem before this administration. Now, they'll be bottom feeding with ICE for recruits. ICE has lower standards.

At rice harvest time,
bankout wagons spill loose grain,
House Sparrows feasting.

The farmers around here stay loyal to Trump: "Sir, you are doing wonderful things for the country. Now please help us out."

Murmuration of Starlings,
Swirling with one mind.

Some of those squawkers don't read anything. Semi-literate, too. Good luck with that book report.

His body armour protects him from bullets, but from insult by sandwich.

ICE body armour protects them from bullets, but not from insult by sandwich.

The cop is wearing body armour. It stops bullets. But not insults by sandwiches.

Cold spiced peaches
bring memories of childhood,
cloves and cinnamon.

Maybe they could give community service to all the criminals the Natl. Guard is supposed to be stopping. They could pick up the trash.

Witkoff has copious ignorance of the world. Has no clue about Ukrainian history.

The hubris of that man was odious. A reporter once asked him about a bible verse teaching compassion. His response was outrageous affront, "How dare you quote scripture to ME."

Let them fail. We won't miss them. It'll be like KMart. Nobody misses them.

Yes. Let them fail. We'll get over it. Nobody misses KMart nowadays.

Russia also signed that agreement and guaranteed Ukrainian security. They don't trust either superpower now.
