@dailydirtnap You forgot a bunch of redneck neighbors.

Let me tell you what it is like living in a red state. - I pay 3% state income taxes, versus 13.3% in California and potentially 16.8% in NYC - Property taxes lowest in the country. A typical 2,000 square foot middle class home will pay about $750 a year. - No mass transit that breaks down all the time - Massive economic development; everyone wants to move here - People are civil to each other on roads because everyone has guns in their cars - You generally don't hear swearing in public (or even private) places - No spitting, littering, and certainly no crapping on the sidewalk - The homeless drug addicts live in the woods and don't panhandle you - There's a bad section of town, but if you don't go in it, you have practically zero chance of being victim of a crime. And the bad section isn't that bad. - You're more likely to hear a racial slur in New York than you are here - Politicians are fighting over how fast to lower taxes - Education is better while spending half as much per student - Still a healthy discourse--in spite of all the Trump stickers on cars, there are No Kings rallies here, too, though people mostly ignore them - Real estate values going up, not down - Developments with thousands of houses going in all over the place - 235 days of sunlight a year. 110 in NYC. The downside? Almost impossible to get an abortion, but you can just go to another state if you're motivated enough. Blue states are so screwed.

@realchasegeiser Life is a bitch

I pay 1,000 dollars a month to send my daughter to catholic school to protect her from woke bullshit. I just went to her first recital where the kids are singing the theme song from the musical Rent, about how many minutes are left in a year in the context of being diagnosed with aids. What the actual fuck.

@dom_lucre Why is this still a thing? Go make a movie ...

🔥🚨STEALING: Hollywood actress Jada Pinkett just announced her feelings about cheating on her Husband Will Smith with her son Jaden best friend August Alsina and expressed how she accepted that people will view her as the ‘adulterous wife’ and went on to say her mother and kids were hurt that she ‘did that to herself’ Jada Smith: “Well, I’m gonna have to speak my truth, but I’m also gonna protect you.” So if I gotta look like the adulterous wife to make sure you’re good, I’mma do it. Yeah. So… and that wasn’t the case, but I wanted him to be okay.” “I wanted it done. You got your answer. I’m the adulterous wife. Let’s be done and let’s move on. You know, as to get him through it, the family through it. Let it go. Right? But I had to learn. That was a big learning moment for me.” “If it hadn’t been for my kids, my mother, my friends who were so hurt that I had done that to myself.”

@PatriotSassy He called for peace, stop the killing. How is that political?

I am a practicing Catholic. Have been all my life, waaaayyyy over half a century. But I’ve had it with these damn popes getting political!! I couldn’t stand Pope Francis. 😤 We catholics are taught to believe that the pope is divinely chosen. That he is infallible. But I’m sorry, this one and the last one are hardly infallible. 😒 I had hopes for Leo but I had also heard that he was a liberal early on. Already, I can see he’s no better than Francis. Please, stop making Catholics feel like we have to choose. Because I’ll choose Jesus always, but you are NOT Jesus!! I will NOT change my stance on my president! I will support him, however, the one thing I CAN control? How much money I put in the kitty every week. 💰 And right now, I’m not putting ANY money in that’s intended for Rome. Until the holy father stays out of our politics, he gets not one. red. cent. from me! His job is to lead people to Christ like a shepherd, not to “pontificate” on @POTUS @DonaldTrump! @Pontifex

@MeidasTouch White supremacy at it's best.

ERASING HISTORY: Trump’s Justice Department is now moving to erase some of the most serious January 6 convictions. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has filed motions asking a federal court to vacate convictions against key members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and Proud Boys leaders like Ethan Nordean and Joseph Biggs, who were found guilty of seditious conspiracy for plotting to stop the peaceful transfer of power. These were among the final convictions still standing after Trump issued sweeping pardons and commutations on Day One. Now, the DOJ is attempting to wipe them away entirely, even after juries heard extensive evidence of coordinated planning, weapons stockpiles, and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

@LeahRemini Happy for you!

I graduated!!! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a concentration in Psychology, summa cum laude! Five years ago, I started this journey with an eighth-grade education, and even that was from a Scientology school, where critical thinking was discouraged and the quality of instruction was subpar, to say the least. I did not get here alone. Thank you to @NYUSPS and @DeanKamath. Thank you to everyone who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me, especially on the days I was not sure I could do this. And there were plenty of those days. To my therapist, who told me not to give up when I was told I likely would not be accepted into a prestigious program. To my tutor, without whom I likely would have given up at the harder points along the way. To all those here who have sent me loving messages on social media. And to everyone else who has cheered me on in person through the ups and the downs of it, it means more than I can put into words. It got me over this finish line of being a student again and graduating. That goal once seemed impossible. To those who have asked me, “Why this? Why now?” I pursued higher education to reclaim a piece of myself. When you come out of a high-control group like Scientology, or even a high-control family, there are parts of you that were never allowed to fully develop. Those parts include your curiosity and your ability and right to question. Education was discouraged because knowledge creates confidence in your ability to trust your own mind and navigate the world. That leads to true independence, and that would never be allowed. I wanted that back. But more than that, I needed to understand. I needed to understand how my mother could have us join Scientology when I was just eight years old, and how my family and I could be part of something like this and stay in it for so long. I needed to understand how these systems work, how they influence people, and how they take hold. Without education, access to real information, and support, people can fall into systems that work against their best interests. Some assume that because they are educated, even highly educated, they would never fall for something like this. But it turns out that is not necessarily true. What many of us are impacted by, but never quite understand, is how high-control groups operate. Many still do not understand how misinformation spreads, and how tribalism and radicalization shape what we think, what we believe, and who and what we trust. Without that awareness, none of us are immune. Today, we are seeing how these forces can influence good people and distort reality. History has shown us that this is not new; it just comes in a different form now. Social media connects us in ways we never imagined, but it also creates echo chambers that reinforce beliefs and justify behavior without question. Real critical thinking is hard when we are fed so much by algorithms designed to appeal to us. In learning and achieving this milestone in my own life, it has helped me take a good, hard look at my own beliefs and ideologies. This journey was about healing for me, but also about figuring out how to help others in whatever way I can in the future. So what is in my future? I am considering continuing my education and possibly pursuing a master’s degree, with the goal of contributing to advocacy and policies that protect people, not systems. For now, I am taking this moment in. I am proud of myself. And I am grateful. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

@WellsJorda89710 That is one self-absorbed puppy

🚨Trump Isn’t Calling Himself Jesus — He’s Answering God’s Call🚨 Trump isn’t calling himself Jesus. He’s been crystal clear from the beginning: he believes he’s doing the work God has set before him. Jesus’ disciples healed the sick in His name. With Christ in us, we can do His works too. I have no problem with this — I lay hands on sick people and pray for them all the time. The people outraged by this are just looking for something to be mad about. Trump is openly praying for the sick — and as Protestants, we still believe in the power of prayer. It’s that simple.

@oelma__ Beating Joe at chess.

What's he doing ?

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus? Trump: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker

@realMAG1775 Another distraction from his impending failure in Iran. The man is a social media genius!

What President Trump posted was not blasphemy. As Christians, we are commanded in Scripture to lay hands on the sick and pray for their healing (Mark 16:18). When Trump shared that image and message, he wasn’t claiming to be Jesus or putting himself in the place of God. He was simply expressing that, as a follower of Jesus Christ, he believes in the power of prayer and the authority Christians have been given to lay hands on the sick. There’s a big difference between claiming to be Christ and claiming to follow Christ. Trump was doing the latter, openly identifying as a Christian who believes in the healing power of God.

🚨BREAKING: 🚨 ILHAN OMAR, MARK KELLY CAUGHT ON TAPE WITH IRANIANS REVEALING US WAR PLANS, ROUTE OF DOWNED FIGHTER JETS - Radical Islamic Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona allegedly played THE CENTRAL ROLE in AIDING AND ABETTING THE ENEMY by leaking to them the anticipated routes of the two fighter jets that were shot down by the Iranians last weekend. They are also accused of LEAKING to the press the fact that one of the US servicemen was still missing so that the Iranians would know to look for him, in hopes that they would find and capture him as a prisoner of war. This is one of the GREATEST ACTS OF TREASON in American history and makes Benedict Arnold look like a patriot... ARREST THESE TERRORISTS NOW! 💪🏻🔥🇺🇸
