MAGAism definition Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

He called them out.
MAGA likes to cloak themselves in Christianity, but what they are doing is just evil.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Instead of saying ‘loosening labor market,’ why not just say ‘lower demand for workers’? It’s clearer and people actually know what it means.

Focus on the young beginning readers. Parents are looking and when you start them young they continue to read.

Fanfare Ciocărlia is a 12-piece (!) brass band from Romania. Though they’ve been active since 1996, and while their village is noted locally for its musicians, none consider themselves to be professionals. You be the judge.

Good morning, beautiful.

Taking a pottery class this week — I’ll be lucky if what I make ends up round and upright! Nowhere near the level of this Greek vase… but a person can dream.

Arkansas, I'm proud to announce I am running for Congress in the 2nd District. For too long, politicians have played photo-op bingo and left working families trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. That ends today. I'm building the Next Arkansas where no one is left behind.

Went down a rabbit hole today of the Pope Co Militia War in AR. What got me was the feeling that we are living through something similar today. An attempt by local leaders to have martial law implemented by the use of a false flag operation to influence an election to coverup political embezzlement.

I pray that this deal does stop the Gaza War but I am not going to hold my breath. Trump is involved and everything he touches turns to s&$t.

My 15 year old granddaughter called me and told me her Christmas wish. Don't think I can help and her mother said "Absolutely Not". But I really would like to come up with something related and fun. And what did she want ... a date of course.
