I'm not married to my opinions. I throw them out here to see if someone can convince me otherwise. If they can show me I'm wrong, I update my opinion. In some cases, I'm really hoping someone will show me I'm wrong, because there are things I don't want to be right about.

This is a disgusting state of affairs -- because of a quirk in the law, these little kids are left representing themselves. But why are they alone? BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS ARE HERE ILLEGALLY AND WILL SEND THEIR KIDS GO INTO THE SYSTEM ALONE RATHER THAN BE SENT HOME THEMSELVES. These kids are abandoned by their parents, not by the US government.
Children as young as 2 have been forced to represent themselves in immigration courts during Trump's time in office: “The kids who are unrepresented, they can’t read the form, much less figure out how to file it.... Fundamentally, that’s a complete violation of due process for a child. No one is asking a single question — who will you go to? Will you be safe?”

"Everyone has ethnicity except European-descended peoples, because that would be Adolf Hitler," is not proving to be a sustainable position. It persisted as long as it did only through media gate-keeping and suppression of discussion, but the cultural reign of terror is now over.

Republicans are the only political means we have of pushing back against the communists. Yes, they suck. Yes, they’re often complicit. But until a viable 3rd option arises, we are stuck with Republicans. Life is full of crappy choices.

Title IX was written to protect females. Biden rewrote it to divert some of those protections to males. Now Trump ‘just rolled back Title IX protections’ to protect only females again. This was the original intent of Title IX. Nothing scandalous.
The Department of Education just rolled back Title IX protections for LGBTQ+ students. Trump is once again attacking the civil rights protections that help make our country great. Illinois will remain a safe state for ALL students to pursue their dreams.

Both my kids taught themselves to read by age 4. I didn't have to do anything but read to them and have books available to them.

The media wants you to know that your insistence on educating your children is becoming quite tiresome (the above quotes are from this article) (7/n)

When I think of all the things that totalitarian governments have visited upon their citizens - famine, prison, struggle sessions, death - it seems like making someone drink castor oil so that they poop their pants is humiliating, but on the mild end of the spectrum of bad things that can be done to someone by a government.

This is long overdue. He’s not banning the degrees. If you want to study african-american history or music theory, you still can. You simply need to pay for it or apply for private student loans. The student debt crisis in this country is insane and so many degrees today are absolutely useless. The reason college is so expensive now is because the US government started backing the loans. Obviously the universities were going to start charging $200k, because their customer is now the US government instead of the music theory kid. Taxpayers should only be subsidizing, and therefore incentivizing, degrees our nation actually needs: doctor, engineers, etc.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

I grew up with pitbulls. One of my most beloved dogs as a child was a pit. I would say 98% of the time they were simply amazing family dogs, there was 2% of the time they would “snap” and go after each other and my stepfather would have bloodied arms trying to break them up. We were very good dog owners and never hit our dogs. They were well trained with the exception of that 2% of the time, but that 2% is why I support bully bans. When a pitbull is scared or aggressive the consequences are far worse than other breeds and that shouldn’t be risked in public areas.

This snake is the Fauci of politics. He creates the division, and then profits by wondering where it came from.
🔥🚨BREAKING: President Obama is stressed out about the division in America and announced at Kamala Harris rally in Wisconsin that he wants to understand how America became so divided Obama: "I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter."

I'm tired of obvious truths being treated as if they are negotiable matters of opinion. We are absolutely drowning in them, and it's exhausting and it takes energy away from us enjoying and improving our lives and ourselves. Men aren't women, women aren't men, dogs bred to aggressively kill other dogs in a pit aren't meant to be pets, dangerous and mentally unstable criminals need to be locked up, protestors who harm and harass people need to be arrested, I could go on and on.

This guy posts a mild, accurate, and funny criticism of some Protestants (I've seen them make this criticism/joke themselves), and they lose their minds and get offended, while Catholics hear the worst slander, hatred, and false accusations against us every day, multiple times a day, and we're supposed to just take it I guess? But God forbid you criticize the criticizers 😆
My experience with Protestant prayer often sounds like this -- which is apparently NOT vain babbling: "Father God, Lord, we just... we just come before you today, Lord God, and we just want to just thank you, Lord. Father God, we just ask that you would just, um, just be with us in this place, Lord. And Father, we just... we just pray that you would just like, just pour out your spirit, Lord God, because we just... we're just so un-just-ly, um, desperate for you, Lord.And Lord God, we just... we just want to just lift up tomorrow, Father God, and just like, just put a hedge of protection around the potluck, Lord. Father God, we just ask that you would just... just touch the potato salad, Lord, and just like, just make sure it doesn't just sit out in the sun too long, Father God.Lord, we just... we just don't know what to do, but our eyes are just on you, Lord God. We just like... we just totally just surrender everything, Lord, and we just... yeah. We just ask all of these things, Father God, in your just... your really great name, Lord. Amen."
