A month that now does incredible damage to gay acceptance and gay rights every time it comes around. No self-respecting homosexual looks forward to this month anymore.

@2024dion That lower building has a very infamous history…..

If KC gets a super hot growth wave Columbus Park will gentrify like few other neighborhoods in the city. It has too many advantages to be as underdeveloped as it is.

@Eye_Tea_Guy @donjackoghue No Surimi…..

How did I only just clock how to limit replies I couldn’t get more notifications from these psychos

@IfindRetards Seen this thang at Missie B’s

That's it.. I'm done.

@Gentleman_Ways Your thoughts?

@Lemonjello @QuintonLucasKC You’re awesome.

@QuintonLucasKC How many does it sleep?

The Grand Avenue pedestrian bridge is officially open. A $5M investment, the bridge opens up new connections between neighborhoods, the riverfront, and the River Market, making it easier for everyone in Kansas City to get out, walk, and explore.

On the morning of January 20, 1953, Harry S. Truman and his wife Bess climbed into their own Chrysler — paid for with their own money — and drove themselves out of Washington. No motorcade. No security caravan. No choreographed farewell meant to polish the record. The thirty-third President of the United States merged into ordinary traffic and headed back to Independence, Missouri — the same small town that had shaped him — carrying an approval rating near thirty-two percent and a widely shared media conclusion that his presidency had fallen short. Washington did not mourn his departure. Home offered no immediate redemption. Truman returned not to comfort but to constraint. His income came largely from a modest military pension — sufficient only if one defined “sufficient” generously. There was no speaking tour prepared, no corporate directorship, no financial cushion reserved for a former president. At one point, he took out a bank loan simply to bridge the distance between what he had and what daily life demanded. Congress noticed. Not out of sentiment, but out of unease. Watching a former commander-in-chief navigate visible financial strain unsettled even political opponents. In 1958, lawmakers passed the Former Presidents Act, establishing pensions and benefits for those who followed. The system exists because Truman’s reality made its absence impossible to ignore. He did not campaign for sympathy. He walked the streets of Independence every morning, as he always had. There was no Secret Service protection for former presidents yet, and he never requested special treatment. He answered his own telephone. He personally replied to thousands of letters. If someone wrote to him, he believed they deserved an answer from him. On his desk — now preserved in the Truman Library — sat the sign that defined his presidency: The buck stops here. The decisions that had damaged his popularity were not reconsidered. The Marshall Plan committed American resources to rebuilding Western Europe after World War II. Critics warned of excess and entanglement. The rebuilt Europe of the following decades offered its own rebuttal. The Truman Doctrine established the framework for containing Soviet expansion — a foreign policy architecture that would shape four decades of global strategy. Its consequences would be debated for generations. Its structure endured. In 1948, Truman signed Executive Order 9981, desegregating the United States military. Congress would not act. He did. The political cost was immediate and steep; Southern support fractured. He signed it anyway. In 1951, he dismissed General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur was not simply a general; he was a national icon. Removing him for publicly challenging civilian authority was politically perilous. Public backlash intensified. Mail poured in criticizing Truman. Approval numbers dropped further. He acted because the constitutional principle of civilian control of the military mattered more than personal standing. That principle outweighed applause. Truman accepted the cost without visible regret. History, unlike approval polls, operates on delay. In July 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson traveled to Independence — not for optics, but for acknowledgment. At the Truman Library, Johnson signed Medicare into law. Truman had proposed national health insurance in 1945. It had been rejected, attacked, and politically burdensome. Two decades later, the idea returned in workable form. Johnson handed the first two Medicare cards to Harry and Bess Truman. The gesture recognized continuity. The idea had begun with the man once dismissed as misguided. Time had altered the nation’s readiness, not the principle itself. Truman died on December 26, 1972, at eighty-eight. By then, the verdict of January 1953 had been revised. Presidential historians increasingly ranked him among the upper tier — not without noting mistakes, but with acknowledgment that the most controversial decisions had proven consequential and largely correct. He understood the distinction between popularity and necessity. The Marshall Plan. The Truman Doctrine. Desegregation of the armed forces. The removal of MacArthur. The early call for national health insurance. Individually, each was politically hazardous. Collectively, they reveal a presidency grounded in consequence over comfort. He left Washington in a Chrysler, approval in the thirties, carrying a bank loan. He spent nineteen years walking the same streets of Independence, answering his own phone, replying to letters himself, living quietly under a belief that character is measured most honestly when no audience is present. History recalibrated. It often does. Not quickly. Not loudly. But eventually, for those who chose what was necessary over what was easy, it arrives.

The US should put Denmark on the same terror & human rights list as North Korea if this policy isn’t rescinded.

@frandalorian If you’re coaching baseball, do you use your gay pitcher or your left handed pitcher against a straight, right-handed batter?

Being homosexual is no different from being left-handed: you weren’t born that way, it sort of just happened, and it’s nearly impossible to undo.

@frandalorian Oui.

@Watchman_motto TV has become the hearth in the modern era, so it makes sense, psychologically, to place it there. Aesthetically, yes, it’s tack-o-rama.

Double digit IQ move to put a tv here. Look at this classic mid-century fireplace.

@mayanotopgunno1 @Memewhile321 Do public schools transfer their teachers to different schools several states away when accusations are made?

@MP4zdq @Memewhile321 wow
