These are James Baldwin's words, not only for evangelicals, but for anyone who presses to be Christian. "It is not too much to say that whoever wishes to become a truly moral human being […] must first divorce himself from all the prohibitions, crimes, and hypocrisies of the Christian church. . .

I used to think about a Shit Ton of garbage came out of trump's mouth daily, but i looked it up and the results changed my mind. It's actually a Fuck Ton. That's on his good days. (I've yet to see one of those.) The rest of the time it's a Mega Fuck Ton. Read on for details . . .

"Conformity and blind obedience do not give you a pass. They just give you a little more time. Mob mentality will rob you of your decency and morality. The violence you cheer will beget the violence they use on you. The brutality and cruelty you praise will be aimed in your direction. . .

Planted an extra large garden to offset high for prices. This evening this 73 yo Minnesotan did the following: Picked 1 cabbage, 2 mustard plants that didn't die and about 9 maters. Pulled some weeds. 👍🏻😊 Washed, chopped and froze the mustard. 👍🏻😊 Chopped and froze 1 green bell and 2 poblanos. 👍🏻😊

Mummy biggest question about LibCon is, where were the Democratic Socialists? Were they invited? Other than that, LibCon is a much needed event. It must include all levels of liberalism, including the most far Left.

I wonder, does that slimy ooze that comprises ⅔ of SCOTUS have Zooms to discuss what kind of BS they can contrive to excuse their craptastic decisions? Like, maybe Uncle Tom says, "Let's just blame everything on the founders. Originalism at its finest!"
