The gulf

I think it’s great that the new name for the Gulf of Mexico now recognizes the whole American continent from the most northern reaches of Canada to the most southern tip of South America.

Unnecessary

English is now, according to the latest EO, the official language of the country. What a waste of ink. It’s already the official language, that’s why we speak it. Next, banning the speaking of other languages? We need actions that actually benefit the quality of our lives.

Another Day 1 promise

So the Epstein list that we were promised on Day 1 was apparently only given to right-wing social media influencers. I’m sure this will be blamed on President Obama or President Biden.

Funny business

Roseanne is right. If you identify as a Democrat, then expect others to point at you and laugh. Because voting for one is a complete embarrassment.

Fascism

Adolf Hitler believed that Germany could only be made great again by purifying it of unintelligent people, deformed people, homosexual people, non-Christian people, dark skinned people, pacifists, and people who elevate compassion and humility. He loved to provoke conflict, and he glorified violence, saying in Mein Kampf, “He who does not fight in this world of struggle does not deserve to live.” The preceding are hallmarks of fascism. They have no place in our Judeo-Christian nation, the USA. We can be compassionate, diverse, and strong. Let’s prove it.

WWJD?

It is impossible to be a Christian and support Trump. Jesus said to help anyone who needs it. He said to look at the beam in your eye before looking at the speck in someone else’s eye. That means do not judge people. Mostly, he said to be kind to others. Is this what Trump is doing now? Not even close. If you support this crooked, lying man, you are not a Chrisrian. Jesus would be so disappointed in you. I am.

Follow the money

I see Giuliani has reportedly fully satisfied the $148 M judgment in Georgia while shielding his personal property. If memory serves, just this past November he was complaining that he had no cash and couldn’t even pay his bills. He despaired that he couldn’t even afford a taxi at the time. Where did he get the money for the payoff?
