Lingthusiasm is an especially great podcast when you want to hear friendly voices talking about something that is not depressing. It will prompt you to consider the wonder of our human world. Recommend!

The best way to understand how secure our California elections are is to work the polls. The training explains all the processes and you can see them in action.

Jesus, people, just be nice. You’re not a toddler; you can exhibit some control over your feelings. It’s not that hard.

Our sukkah reminds us that everyone should have shelter. Support affordable housing in your community!
A sukkah, a temporary shelter made of wood lattice with branches across the top for a roof and paper chain decorations. Small table and chairs inside.

I think the main problem with religion is that it teaches you that it is admirable to believe things that can’t be demonstrated to be true. (This is my polite take. )

Paying expensive healthcare premiums but never using the insurance is a odd way to commit fraud.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

This elides the actual difference in interpretation, though. In the Middle East, land is inalienable. That is, the people cannot be alienated from the land, no matter who “owns” it.

We'll begin with an uplifting one-hour celebration featuring music, English-language readings, and reflections on renewal, hope, and the year ahead. Then we'll father around the table for a community potluck with apples, honey, and plenty of good food.

The White House announced it will slash benefits for 400,000 Supplemental Security Income recipients with Down Syndrome , dementia, and other disabilities whose parents or relatives receive SNAP benefits. They are cutting off food for families who take care of their disabled loved ones.

Blue state AGs should be warning postal officials that they will face felony prosecution for election interference for any legal ballots diverted and not delivered. Separate felony counts for every single ballot mishandled and not delivered. We would expect no less if private citizens stole ballots

The essence of Jewish identity is not race or religion or traditions and customs. It is a shared historical consciousness. What happens to any Jew, happens to all of us. Of course he should know better.

` 60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.
