NATO Isn't Freeloading. They're Responding Rationally to a President Who Told Them They're On Their Own.
There's a land war on their continent and a U.S. president who's questioned Article 5. Of course they're hedging.

🍒 Bible Cherry Picking "If you choose a king, he should follow the law (commandments), read them every day and not consider himself better than others. He should not take many wives or his heart will go astray. He must not accumulate large amounts of silver and gold."( Deut: 17: 14:20)

This is INSANE. Calling every American who is a member of the opposition party an enemy of the nation is profoundly un-American.

1989 YA novel teaches compassion and courage: "[Nazis] plan to arrest all the Danish Jews." "I don't understand. Take them where?" "We don't know where. They call it 'relocation.' We don't know what that means. We only know that it is wrong, and it is dangerous, and we must help."

The most vocal Christians never mention the Beatitudes. They demand the 10 Commandments be posted in public buildings. That's Moses; not Jesus. No one demands the Beatitudes be posted anywhere. Blessed are the merciful in a courtroom? Blessed are the peacemakers in the Pentagon? — Kurt Vonnegut

russia’s ministry of education launched a cartoon for school kids about SVOlodik and NATOlik. SVOlodik (from “special military operation”) is the “good” soldier. NATOlik is the evil NATO one. Propaganda starts early when you’re trying to raise the next generation of war criminals. #UkrainianView

#UkrainianView Look at the picture "pride of the nation" camp. So kidnapped and potentially conscripted Ukrainians are the pride of russian "nation". Fuck.

“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion... Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful... Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.” --Kahil Gibran (1933, The Garden of the Prophet)

I'm tired of far-right Christians cherry-picking scriptures that focus on hate and kings. With the intention of informing and not evangelizing, here's my cherry-pickin' verse of the day:🍒 "All the Lord requires of you is to do justice and to love goodness and walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8

In 1926, thousands of people died in rural Tennessee from diseases--measles, influenza, whooping cough, typhoid, and more. Only three smallpox deaths occurred . . . because vaccines were readily available. cdburr.blogspot.com/2025/03/our-...
