@Sadie_NC What a stretch!
In other words, you are fortunate because you have nothing to worry about.

Actress Kyra Sedgwick says, "I'm pretty scared about a lot of things, scared about losing my rights as a woman. Scared about losing my right to vote as a woman, scared about losing autonomy over my body as a woman. She's afraid of the current administration."
Why are they all so dramatic? 🙄🙄

.@JamesTalarico: My mother met my birth father, who had a drinking problem that sometimes led to being violent. My mom decided right then and there that she was leaving. She found a little apartment in East Austin and worked double duty at a hotel to provide for us. She saw Texas Democrats like Ann Richards, people who fought for the little guy. That was the classic Democratic Party. I asked my mom what we were, and she was like, ‘We're Democrats, because Democrats fight for the people.’ Our historical legacy is the party that fights for the little guy. That's why I'm a Democrat.

@PecanC8 You could start trans competitive leagues to make everyone happy, but does that defeat the goal?
Wouldn’t that mean they would still be competing against their own biological sex - just people “identifying” as the opposite sex?
It gets confusing, right?
Not really❣️

@simonateba I think babies should be the same nationality as their mothers regardless of birthplace geography.

@SaveAmericaNew Count them, but record their numbers in a separate column than citizens. It would be beneficial to know how many non citizens reside in a particular area, but only U.S. should be counted for determining representation.

@SaveAmericaNew Every educational organization is TOP HEAVY & many times the personnel have no educational work background/experience. Most of them probably needed to go.

@__Injaneb96 @TheKiffness You still have time!
Jesus/God loves you & everyone else❤️

@TheKiffness It was deeply moving and powerful. I wish I had grown up learning that, instead of living with constant fear and nightmares of God.

I listened to Erika Kirk’s full speech at the memorial, and I want to share a few thoughts that came to me while live streaming the event. This is not political.
First, I should say that I grew up as a Muslim in a Muslim country. I don’t know enough about Christianity to say if what I witnessed is rooted in faith or culture. But what struck me most was how, even though death is heavy and this was by nature a sad occasion, the entire event carried a celebratory spirit that honored life.
That contrast hit me deeply. In Islam, even though we believe that good people go to heaven, the relationship with God is taught through fear. Funerals are overwhelmingly sad, often filled with warnings of the terrifying first night in the grave. Growing up hearing that, and then witnessing people celebrate life, speak of God’s love, and remember someone through the impact he had on others; it felt so refreshing, so positive.
Second, I was profoundly moved by @MrsErikaKirk’s words. I cannot fathom the strength it takes to stand and deliver such a meaningful speech after losing the love of your life. But even more than that, the grace it takes to forgive the very person who destroyed your world. I cannot imagine myself standing on a stage, sending love to those who cheered your husband’s murder, or inviting others to spread God’s love in response because, as she said, “we do not respond to hate with hate.” That is powerful beyond words.
Again, I am ignorant when it comes to Christianity, but if this is what it truly embodies, then I am envious of those who get to experience that feeling.

@WakeUpPatriott If their families weren’t being tracked & attacked by some who resent them for doing the jobs they were hired to do, they wouldn’t need to wear masks to protect their families.
English

@ElephantSignal Count illegals and tally that number in a separate column just to know how many people live in that area, but compile citizens (voter eligible) in another column to determine a legitimate assessment of the number of representatives an area is entitled to elect.

@ldean1980 @JamesAFurey But, who listens to the ones actually doing the job?
English

@JamesAFurey Actually many SPED teachers really want to go back to small group self contained for ELA and math because it works but the inclusion crowd won’t agree.
English

Like so much that goes unsaid, people tend not to criticize Special Education in America because they know that its proponents view themselves as unquestionably having the moral high ground and don’t want to be accused of being a bad person.
It’s not true though. Many SPED practitioners must know they’re not helping those kids.
It is moral and right that they should be criticized.
