@TheDemocrats He was the most corrupt
president of all time.

In the light of #Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!

Senate Democrat says Trump ‘needs a lot of prayer’ thehill.com/homenews/senat…
English

On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.

An uncommon very personal post from me ...
When I returned to the Catholic Church (I was raised Roman Catholic - I was baptized, received my First Holy Communion and was Confirmed) last year after many, many years away, I waited nearly two months before receiving Communion.
I wanted to make sure I was back at the Church for the right reasons, and was ready to recommit, but also commit in a way that made sense for me.
So anyhow, obviously, I had to go to Confession prior to receiving Communion. I went one day in the middle of the afternoon and I had just missed it. So I quietly approached one of the Fathers asking if it was too late to go to Confession. (I did not realize as I approached him, it was the Father whose masses had become my favorite to attend. Uber conservative.) Anyhow, I explained it's been many, many years and I have been attending mass every Sunday the last two months but would like to go to Confession. He asked exactly how long it had been. I told him. He looks at me and says "Ok, let's go. I have a lot of questions for you."

My annual Catholic Lenten poast: - limited opportunity for Confession is a problem - amount of time some Catholics (who I suspect are not serial killers and/or genocidal maniacs) spend confessing to the exclusion of others' opportunity is a problem - the Scottish solution✝️🏴

@hellsitehero @BraVoCycles So America is great again because the S&P is up 3.7% since orange man took office in January 2025. That’s great again? It was up 47% in 23 and 24. Facts not propaganda to appease the undereducated Maga voter.

CLERGY CRUNCH: Even as interest—especially among younger adults—begins to rebound, America’s Catholic Church keeps running into the same hard limit: it needs priests, and there aren’t enough of them.
Across the United States, dioceses are also confronting aging buildings and shrinking finances, forcing them to merge parishes, close churches, and ask fewer priests to cover more communities.

The “dividend-focused” mindset just doesn’t make sense to me
Here’s why:
• Paying out a dividend lowers the value of the business by the same amount
• It is a forced sale and leads to taxes for you, even if you do not want the funds
Let’s break it down more
Imagine your business has $1 million in cash
You have two choices:
• Reinvest it to grow the business
• Pay it out to the owners as a dividend
If you pay it out, the business now has less cash, so its valuation drops
You’ve just traded long-term growth potential for a short-term payout
This is why focusing solely on dividend yield can be misleading
Maximizing long-term value often comes from reinvesting in growth, not taking money out prematurely
Your investment mindset should consider total return, not just the immediate cash you receive

From 1964-1982, amid the Vietnam War escalation (Gulf of Tonkin 1964 onward), the US stock market stagnated in a sideways range. The Dow Jones was roughly flat nominally from its 1965 peak (~1,000) to 1982 (~777-1,000 range), with the S&P 500 similarly showing no net progress until the early '80s bull market. High inflation (Great Inflation, peaking ~14% in 1980), stagflation, oil shocks (1973, 1979), and recessions (1969-70, 1973-75, 1980-82) wiped out real gains despite war spending.
