God does not play dice with the universe, ever since he caught the universe cheating that one time. Can’t play dice with a cheater.

Dear younger women: the reason they say “crazy cat lady” in that tone of voice is because they’re afraid you’ll notice that some of the happiest people in the world are middle aged women living alone with their pets.

So I’m very committed to critiquing elected officials, and cringe at cults of personality and all that leftist jazz— but is Zohran, like, a sorcerer?

Somewhere across the world happy, peaceful re-wilded elephants are taking their newborn to meet the humans that rescued them.
And closer to home, a beautiful human is noticing the perfection of fall leaves and showing them to us.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

People are hungry in the US because of human policies.
Not because we don’t have enough food, or because we don’t know how to distribute it. But because our greed and hatred made us vote to limit food for some people.
Speaking Biblically, this is the kind of thing God damns countries for.

The latest one is trying to slam me for saying God loves everyone. “Pastor Lura Groen, an admitted universalist…”
