'A story is a fable because it's a short, concise narrative featuring anthropomorphic characters (often animals) that conveys a moral or practical lesson. Fables are designed to teach through entertaining stories, and their brevity is a key characteristic, allowing for an easy sharing of the tale.'

I got to thinking that by filing the lawsuit against FOX, they got access to the 2020 voting machines. They paid Dominion $787 million to get the codes to 2024. They got their money back a thousandfold. They stole this election right in front of us, and we need to make sure the lawsuits are coming.

This is where Mike gets it wrong. 'Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering.'

It's more, 'We hate what YOU'VE done to America and a Pro-Palestine gathering' for me. Quit thinking you have any idea of what America really is.

Now, if the Republican Party would quit bending over for the oil companies, we would have a chance to catch up to China. Renewables are the only way forward that eliminates the contamination and heat associated with fossil fuels.

This is what the ignorant don’t understand about our government. They keep everyone safe. Not just the ‘woke.’ To cheer on this administration for cutting talented, dedicated workers is to their detriment. Corporations are not looking out for you, a good government does.

For the first time in my life I don’t want to get out of bed. The world has lost all that made life beautiful. We have irreparably harmed her oceans, her waters and wildlife. I am human and I have been made a part of this through no fault of my own. I’m done being civil to those who did this.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
