Who am I that the King of the world
Would give one single thought about my broken heart?

Who am I that the God of all grace
Wipes the tears from my face and says, "Come as you are"?
It only takes half a brain cell to know what happened to those two soldiers was inevitable. This is on Trump for putting them in that situation.

I ordered a book over the weekend that cost $13.99 plus $5.99 in shipping. I received an email that the book was shipping from Belgium.

How does a $14 book ship from half a world away?

I can’t figure out if this is progress or an absolute failure.

In other news, I bought yogurt for $7.99

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Random idea while watching Nick Folk: If your kicker is over 40 years old, field goals should be worth 4 points

Over 45? 5 points

Over 50? 8 points

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

I still am stunned, years later, that dozens of cops at Uvalde waited 77 minutes to kill the shooter while kids died.

Has ANYONE been held accountable?

No one is safe from gun violence in America.

We do not have to keep living like this.

Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

One of the most remarkable things of the last 9 months is how many Americans seem to believe the President is all powerful and Congress has no say.
Actually Congress has been ineffective by choice. It has immense power if it had the courage to use it.

There’s a reason Dr. King's historic 1963 rally was called “The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

As he warned the nation, "We all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free market capitalism for the poor."

Real freedom requires economic freedom for all.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
