For all the commentary and fact checking of the Felon-in-the White House’s lie laden tirade last night, none of it matters when the source of news for republicans are all echoing the bs. Not a single fact checked at Fox News, Newsmax or OAN. Trump supporters live in an echo chamber of bulls#*t.

As an early GenXer Godspell had a big impact on me. This song ‘Day by Day’ in particular resurfaces in my life when I’m in the dark days. When life seems to overwhelm me it is helpful to remember to take it Day-by-Day.
I wish you all find joy in your day.

Sunday Thoughts: my faith is focused on making the world a better place for everyone. That is why I lift up the marginalized and push back on those that marginalize them (especially within the church). It’s literally What Jesus Would Do.

Polls outside of an election campaign aren’t that useful. But in this case, as a lead up to a Leadership review for Pierre Poilievre in January it speaks that he’s not the right leader to take on the Mark Carney Liberals.
