Loud laugher. Parent of a poorly trained dog and decently trained kids. Wife to one of the good ones. You’ll have to repeat that because I wasn’t listening.

Need a simple menu for the Wednesday night church group (25-30 folks - adults and kids). What’s your favorite large platform main course? Any suggestions?

FoxNews is well aware of the capabilities of the Secretary. I assume their response was simply LOL.

If no jury would hold Camp Mystic accountable for the deaths that happened under their care, why the need for a publicity tour claiming innocence? Why plead your story to the DMN? Thats a pretty loud announcement of “nothing to see here”

A David Roth It’s Christmastime podcast dropped last week so you are on schedule. It’s a nightmare of a day over here so I may put one on with dinner - the vibes need to change at our house.

I have kids in that range and I would appreciate the compliment. A kid’s willingness to try new things is due to work by a parent.

Was it the Hobby Lobby people again? Did they steal more antiquities?

I’m no billionaire intellectual but I teach Sunday school to elementary kids. I’m surprised, in Mr Thiel’s intense studies, that he didn’t run across Jesus teachings in the gospels. Jesus is pretty clear on his views about wealth. But, then again, I didn’t see the directives about AI so that’s on me

So weird that by stripping the uber rich of their extreme wealth, the antichrist is doing the work of Jesus.

New article incoming explaining that the anti-Christ will definitely be super into investigative journalism.

Natural gas prices are relatively low now, but residential gas utility rates are nearing record highs. Customers are paying more for infrastructure, construction, utility costs and taxes than they are for the actual fuel. My @npr.org story: www.npr.org/2025/10/13/n...

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

I don’t think the fine folks of LSU would stop him from pursing his dreams. He would probably get some gracious offers to help him pack. That’s the sort of hospitality LSU fans offer.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Is there any precedence in the history of the United States for having a foreign airbase on American soil?

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

I am anti male white sneakers. My daughter’s cheerleading friends wear the all white. My friends in sundresses wear the all white. Men have an abundance of options. If you want sneakers, go find some awesome throwbacks. Sport some Jordans.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate
NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

Don’t do that to him. He’s far too likable for that fan base.

Quite a week they’re having in Chapel Hill. Lack of understanding of the subject matter while catering to boosters seems to be a theme.

Those bothersome Popes with their insistence on teaching the Bible instead of just using it as a prop.
