This was, shockingly, on the editorial page of my deep red state newspaper this morning.

I have to mute Michael Irvin every time he comes on the tv.

If I wanted to be preached to, I would go to church on Sunday.

"ABORTION DECISIONS 'BELONG' TO 'GENTLEMEN' REPS!"

I am a man and this makes me furious. I cannot even begin to imagine how ENRAGED it makes the women here.

New Hampshire GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc told supporters this week that he thinks the future of abortion rights “belongs” to Republican “gentlemen” state lawmakers, who he claims know best how to give women a voice on their reproductive rights.

War Pigs - AI illustrating every lyric A must watch!!!

I have NO words for how epic this is.

My opinion on inflation. It's not going away.

IMO, we are going to have to get used to the prices that things are now. I don't foresee them going down. Yes, gas prices may adjust to the real price of a barrel of oil, but the other commodities we use will stay where they are now, or go even higher.
WE have all championed the raising of wages in this country, as we should. But, that comes with a cost to our bank account.
Corporations live by this one axiom: WTMWB What The Market Will Bear. So, if we become accustomed to these prices, they will stay where they are.
This brings up a question. When do "these" prices stop being inflationary and instead, become the norm?

IMO, Kim Mulkey is a POS.

Diaz: “I just wanted to get your thoughts on Brittney Griner’s situation. I don’t think I’ve seen anything from you on that ...”
Mulkey: “And you won’t.”

"Kim Mulkey’s silence on Brittney Griner is petty, pathetic, and gross"

It doesn’t take bravery to support Brittney Griner, just a shred of human decency. Griner’s former coach, Kim Mulkey, couldn’t be bothered to clear the lowest of bars. Mulkey, who coached Griner at Baylor from 2009-13, has been one of the few people who personally knows Griner and still elects to remain silent since her arrest in Russia back in February for possession of less than one gram of hashish oil.

Sometimes things don't hit me until long after the event...re: Jan 6th insurrection attempt

Has anyone wondered WHY there were no extreme measures installed in the Capital building for just such an occurance OR
did no one ever imagine such an event would happen.
It seems to my little pea brain that there should be sleeping gas dispensers installed in these important buildings. If not a gas, then extremely loud noises that would be very difficult for a human to handle.
There has to be someway to deal with this kind of attack, right? One that doesn't require the killing of people?

What is God's job?

I mean, honestly, what is that being supposed to do for mankind?
What can God do for a person that they cannot do for themselves?

Ian is strengthening and in related news...

thousands are lining up outside DeSantis's home begging him to fly them to Martha's Vineyard.

Kanye West Says He's Never Read A Book

That explains a lot.
Kanye West shared that he’s repulsed by literature, comparing books to a vegetable often despised by children.
The hit-maker’s confession comes after a Rolling Stone report that parents were required to sign nondisclosure agreements to send their children to his tuition-based Christian private school. The school, Donda Academy, is named after his late mother, Donda West, who was a professor.

What a loser.
