The Coast Guard is under the cosplaying puppy killer. I'm sure she's behind it.

I don't know if that would have made a difference in that case, but ELCA pastors can now be free to openly be in relationship with, including married to anyone to whom they are attracted, as long as it's an adult.

That is not true of all churches. It's mostly in the patriarchal churches where that happens, ones that only ordain men. As a leader in my ELCA Lutheran congregation, I assure that should that should something like that happen I would personally drag the perpetrator down to the police station.

There are many things that can be improved in Oklahoma, but it does have a good technical training education system. Ford could have a specialized training program set up for them if the opened a plant in Tulsa/

Everything she says is true. Why is she still a Republican? The only way to change those things in this state is to elect Democrats.

How much space is needed for the batteries? How many miles of transmission lines?

Sure, now that they've packed the Supreme Court and gotten what they want on abortion, they can start opposing Repubs.

Okay, now which of them will deny J. D. Vance communion like they did Joe Biden and John Kerry?

That was in Oklahoma where the state supreme court ruled the charter school would be unconstitutional. Fortunately SCOTUS let that ruling stand.

So he's telling the governor and the mayor that they've failed in their jobs to provide adequate policing for Charlotte?

Homeless people sleep in protected areas at my church regularly. We're not going to begrudge a person needing a place to lay their head as long as they don't harm anything.
