@morfurniture We spent $1,000+ on a loveseat recliner and paid $99 for white glove delivery, choosing Sat. the 25th at checkout. Now we’re told delivery can’t happen until Wed. the 29th, or Sat. the 2nd for an undisclosed extra $40. This is unacceptable customer service!

Todays rewrite of Title IX doesn’t just ignore the fact that women exist and replace “women” with “gender identity” — essentially erasing women as a category with legal rights in the education system … it also:

*compels speech depriving students of their 1st Amendment rights

*removes due process for those accused of sexual assault or harassment, depriving the accused of their 5th Amendment rights

Even the @ACLU didn’t approve of the due process removal

It’s a travesty. A total shit show. I still can’t believe it. But I’m ready to fight. And vote accordingly.

@olivia_karas Literally HOW?? How is this humanly possible??

@SMcGlone97 Completely underscored, especially compared to Florida. It was infuriating!

Beth, while Trump isn’t my guy in the primary (nor was he in 2016), I do think you have a blind spot.

There may be a segment of Trump fans who love everything he posts, including the name-calling and the accusations of backstabbing toward former allies he now considers disloyal. But the majority of his ardent supporters don’t like these things. It’s just that, to them, his flaws pale in comparison to what he’s accomplished. His SCOTUS picks helped overturn Roe, saving thousands of image bearing lives. He helped bring about unprecedented peace in the Middle East. He oversaw a booming economy.

I could list things I think he did wrong, but he also did a lot of things right. That’s why people like him. Plus, his political enemies have thrown everything possible at him, and still are. Heck, Time Magazine published a whole article explaining how national and international entities worked together to keep Trump out of office. Thus his supporters think, “If all the people that hate me also hate him, he must be onto something.” They see him as the victim of an unjust system and the only one who can effectively fight back against it.

You can agree with them or not, but it’s inaccurate and unfair to say everyone who votes for him does so because they enjoy bullying and verbal abuse. It’s like saying that everyone who voted for Biden specifically wanted someone who can’t complete a coherent sentence and lies constantly.

Which brings me to my next point—Where is your lament for our current political leadership? The Biden administration is objectively wicked. Destructive. Oppressive. Idolatrous. Bloodthirsty. Foolish. It actively promotes the butchering of children both in and outside the womb. Its support of abortion and genital mutilation are sufficient reasons to publicly condemn Biden and his cohort, and yet, at least from what I’ve seen, you haven’t. The faults in the White House go beyond bullying. The policies it pushes cause chaos, death, and decay.

Every single city dominated by these progressive policies has been destroyed, Beth. Violence, drugs, inescapable poverty - all enabled and exacerbated by laws enacted in the name of progressive compassion.

It’s okay that you don’t like Trump. I have my gripes, too. But save some righteous anger for the greater evil unfolding before your eyes, under this administration. If Trump is our mirror, so is Biden. And that, I’m afraid, is a far more sobering thought.

Nikki Haley when asked if a man could become a woman responded: “We want to make sure people can live any way they want to live…you should be free to live the way you want to live…”

Um… How about just NO! Men are not women.

You should know about this case if you haven’t heard about it yet. Jillian Ludwig was an 18 year old musician here in Nashville attending Belmont University. She died a few days ago after getting hit in the head by a bullet fired by Shaquille Taylor who was out on the street corner shooting randomly at passing cars.

Taylor is of course a career criminal with an extensive rap sheet. This past spring he was charged with aggravated assault when he shot into a vehicle with children inside. The charges were dismissed and Taylor was set free after the court deemed him mentally unfit for trial. They didn’t send him to a mental institution. They just let him go. Now Jillian Ludwig is dead.

This is what “compassion” for these violent parasites gets you. It’s a trade off. Compassion for them means abject cruelty to innocent people like Jillian Ludwig. It means that Jillian Ludwig has to die so that we can be nice to a criminal scumbag who contributes absolutely nothing to society.

Society would be a better place if Shaquille Taylor was not in it. It would be better place if Jillian Ludwig was still in it. But instead Ludwig is dead and Taylor is alive. This is what we do now. Time and time and time again. We trade the worst for the best. We sacrifice the lives of the people you want in your community for the sake of people that nobody wants anywhere near them.

@DrSam_PhD Why wasn’t Simone on the podium for vault? I’m confused. What did I miss?

[Dr. Abby Johnson @AbbyJohnson]

In the past few months:

Pixar’s movie with a “non binary” cartoon character debuted as the lowest performing Pixar film in Pixar’s history.

Target lost billions of dollars of stock trying to push the rainbow agenda on children.

Bud Light featured a transgender even though their main consumer base is male, causing the entire brand to plummet.

You’d think at some point these woke companies would start to understand that most Americans have had enough. We’re not taking it anymore.

[Amy Erickson @AmyEErickson]

So proud of you for speaking up!

[Paula Scanlan @PaulaYScanlan]

Thank you Matt for letting me tell my story.

A teammate of Lia Thomas appeared in What Is A Woman anonymously. A few days ago she came to us and said she is ready to come out publicly and tell her story. I had a longer conversation with Paula where she revealed a number of details that weren't covered in the film. Watch:
