Deploying Federal Troops to U.S. Cities Is a Second Amendment Issue
But not because the founders wanted to see more guns in the hands of Americans.

prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner
Ok, those three are easy to understand.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

My super Catholic mom never approved of me going to the Episcopal Church. But I took her to Advent Lessons & Carols at St. Bart’s yesterday & she loved it. She even went to the chapel after the event to get Communion w/ a female priest presiding. I never thought I’d see that. My heart is full. ⚓️🕯
