These school boards are full of cowards. They never take action on anything of real importance.
Chuck Palahniuk wrote Fight Club, by the way, and is gay and also half Ukrainian. His books should not be in a high school library. On the other hand, as a high school teacher, none of my students will touch a book voluntarily and it's doubtful most kids that age ever notice these things. They're getting all their filth from TikTok.
I had to come back to add that it's nice to see employees who take some pride in themselves and their jobs. They look neat and presentable and pleasant. It's so rare these days. I'm hoping we return to a time when ALL workers are treated with respect when they work hard and not just those with so-called "important" jobs and master's degrees.
I'm in NC. One of our dogs was barking like a lunatic for about thirty minutes tonight and I couldn't get her to stop. I checked a few times and nothing was there. She's sleeping in her bed now, finally. I noticed when I took my other dog out for a potty break a little while later that a neighbor's dog down the road was going crazy, too, and that dog rarely makes a sound. Interesting...
Yep, still waiting on the kill shot. But I listened to Art Bell religiously and have never forgotten when Dames described the moment war would cease as everyone looked to the sky. I am looking forward to it. When Q says biblical, I expect it to be BIG.
Even if you're not Catholic, this is an interesting perspective and the coincidences are worth acknowledging. In any case, I'd say it's a good idea to pray this week for your own protection and for the safety of our country and for the good of the world.
Interesting timing. I was just thinking about this the other day, and then last night this short popped up in my YouTube feed. The actor who played Barabbas in The Passion of the Christ described seeing Jesus when working with Jim Caviezel during the filming of the movie and, when he looked into Jim's eyes, he saw nothing but mercy and love from Jesus. It was so moving that he converted to Catholicism. It made me reflect on how Jesus never looked at anyone with hate, even those who tormented and killed him. If Jesus ever got angry with anyone, it was those who were corrupt and prideful, but he didn't hate them. Here's the short: https://youtube.com/shorts/_t0y1u9cMs0?si=3DB0XqbwDLmkL1eO
I think we all need to reflect on this from time to time. It's easy to hate our enemies, but that's not what Jesus said to do, and it's what Satan wants. How we can accomplish loving our enemies on our worst days, I'm not sure. Sometimes all we can do is pray for the other side, and for all of us, to see the light.
This is a good reminder as I'm about to do some spring cleaning today and tomorrow. The average household cleaner is full of dozens of chemicals we trust the government to approve for safety. It's no wonder so many pets are getting cancer when their paws and mouths are by the floors constantly.
We need a return to the natural.
I used to enjoy his show in the early 2000s and found him kind of charming. I quit watching after I got sick of all the liberal, anti-American messages he jammed into so many episodes. The one that broke the camel's back was when he was moaning about how Americans want to send so many of NYC's (illegal) cooks back to their home countries. Yes. Yes, we do. I'm sure he had a few working in his own restaurants.
