@SarahLazarus16 I’m a proud “bitter clinger” (2008), “deplorable” (2016), “MAGA extremist”(2022), and “floating piece of garbage” (2024).

Let's give this great artist some love: Name ONE great song by VAN MORRISON. I'll start: "Queen Of The Slipstream" He may be ornery, but he's written some wonderful music.

In 458 BC, Rome was on the brink of collapse. An invading army had trapped the Roman consul and his legion in a mountain pass. Panic spread through the city. The Senate did the only thing they could think of: They sent messengers to find a 60-year-old farmer plowing his field. His name was Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. He had once been a senator, then lost his fortune paying his son's bail. Now he worked his own four-acre plot just to feed his family. When the Senate's envoys arrived, they found him sweating behind a plow. They asked him to put on his toga so they could deliver an official message. The message: Rome was making him dictator. Absolute power. Total command of the army. No checks. No oversight. No term limit. He accepted. Within 16 days, Cincinnatus had raised an army, marched out, surrounded the enemy, and forced their surrender. The republic was saved. He had legal authority to rule for six months. He could have stayed. He could have expanded his power. He could have done what every other ruler in human history did when handed unlimited control. Instead, he resigned on day 16. He took off the toga, walked back to his farm, and finished plowing the field he'd left half-done. Twenty years later, when Rome faced another crisis, they called him back. He was 80 years old. He took command, crushed the conspiracy, and resigned again, this time after just 21 days. He died poor. On his farm. 2,200 years later, when George Washington was offered a kingship after winning the American Revolution, he refused and went home to Mount Vernon. The reason he was hailed as "the American Cincinnatus" is because Europeans literally could not believe a man who had won would willingly give up power. King George III, on hearing Washington would resign rather than rule, said: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." The lesson isn't that Cincinnatus was humble. The lesson is that for most of human history, the people most qualified to lead were the ones who didn't want to. And the moment a society starts rewarding those who chase power instead of those who flee from it is the moment the republic begins to die. Cincinnati, Ohio is named after him. Most people who live there have no idea why.

@AngelaBelcamino Whether aliens or UFOs exist doesn’t matter to me. Whether God exists matters infinitely to me. I believe God could have created aliens because He is all-powerful.

Can God and UFOs coexist? Some people think UFOs prove religion is false. Others think they could actually strengthen the idea of a Creator. What do you believe?

It was May 6th, 1945 when Bob Seger was born. Today he turns 81 and he's given us some of the best musical material of our century. What's your favourite Bob Seger song?

Trump-backed Vivek Ramaswamy wins Ohio GOP gubernatorial primary, fueled by Donald Trump and MAGA support. Is he truly MAGA—or something different? What do you think?

@AuthorGFAllen I like both real books and e-books. Real books for the feel. E-books for the ease of highlighting and sharing to social media.
