Global religion inspired terror attacks committed by the top 5 religions in the world in the last 50 years:
1. Christianity: ~50

What pops out at you?
Not compatible.
On behalf of the largest police news outlet in the world, the Detroit police chief needs to resign in disgrace.
This, after a Detroit sergeant- a 27-year veteran - was suspended without pay. What did he do that was so horrible?
He called Border Patrol to help ID a driver with a fake electronic Michigan license during a traffic stop—per her lieutenant's direction.
So to be clear - cops are now facing punishment for working with feds to uphold the law. REPOST for widespread exposure!

A Message From Me to You
Today is one of the hardest days I’ve had in a long time. I don’t know if it was the dream I had last night or the reality I woke up to this morning, but something hit me deep. I’m fighting through a heaviness that I can’t shake, and I need to be honest about it.
I feel depressed in a way I’ve never experienced before. It’s a kind of loneliness that sits in the soul, even when people are around. Unless someone lives this battle every single day, it’s impossible to understand the emotional toll it takes just to keep going. I fight like hell, every day, only to watch my physical condition continue to decline. And today, that truth hurts more than usual.
I know things can get better. I know this moment won’t last forever. But right now is all I can see, and right now feels like a deep pit. I finally understand what depression really is and the cloud it casts over everything. The emotional pain is something I never imagined I would feel.
I’m doing my best to look toward heaven, even when my head feels too heavy to lift. I’m asking for your prayers—not out of weakness, but because I need every bit of strength I can get. I appreciate every person who holds me up, even quietly.
Tanja sees me every day, but she has no idea how deep this pit is. I don’t want to burden her with all of it, but I also can’t pretend I’m not struggling. So I’m saying it plainly: I need prayer. I need covering. I need someone to whisper my name in their quiet time.
If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to lift me up. I’m fighting, but today the fight is heavy. And I don’t want to face it alone.
@DHSgov@HiltonHotels Hey @HiltonHotels, do you want a diamond member to switch to @Marriott for future business? FAFO what getting political will do to your business. ICE are public servants and I expect you to show them no discrimination.
@TimBrando@OU_Football@AlabamaFTBL@CFBPlayoff It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt. Brando could have learned this in 1990 but continues to bloviate.
How about retweeting the one you deleted? You can’t delete tweets as a “journalist,” Nicole. Nobody takes you seriously in the first place and your bias is totally obvious.
@NBCSports must be desperate is my only explanation or a DEI hire
@ctsykes13@Bama_Hammer@NicoleAuerbach Classless. Stand by your comment if you are a hater, Nicole. We keep receipts. Just shut up if you can’t keep your bias to yourself.
The Hall of Fame Era Committee meets this Sunday, December 7th. Dale Murphy needs 12 of 16 votes. You never know who will see this and their vote may be the one that puts Murph over the top. Please retweet if you love Murph and believe he deserves to be honored in Cooperstown.
The little girl who was killed earlier this week in Boise by an illegal alien was identified as Mora Gerety.
She was just 8 years old.
Zero stories in the New York Times.
Zero stories in the Washington Post.
Zero stories in the Associated Press.
You'll see thousands of stories in the mainstream media about the evils of President Trump's deportations.
But not a single national outlet has covered the story of a family being separated forever by somebody who had no right to be in our country.
I just visited a shop class in Great Falls, Montana where high school students are building houses for people who need a place to call home.
Let that sink in for a moment.
High schoolers in Great Falls Montana, under the guidance of an excellent shop instructor and lots of community support, are building actual houses. Not birdhouses or doll houses – real homes, built to code from the ground up for real people, and move-in ready.
Yesterday, I toured the latest home these kids are in the process of building. It’s the 48th such home built since 1998, through this remarkable program. While I was there, I ran into @GregForMontana. Like me, the Governor was blown away by what these kids were doing and took the time to talk to each one of them, thanking them for their hard work and congratulating them for what they’d accomplished. I was then invited to join the Governor on stage at Great Falls High, where I answered a few questions about mikeroweWORKS, talked about the many opportunities in the skilled trades, and discussed the ways we might be able to encourage more projects like this one, in Montana and beyond.
It's encouraging to see public/private partnerships done right. And really, it’s not that complicated; it just takes a few stubborn people in various organizations who won't take no for an answer. In this case, too many to name, but a quick shout out to Pete Pace, the shop teacher at the center of High School Homes, the administrators in the school district, the principal at Great Falls High, Sherrie Arey and her devoted crew at @neighborworks, the incredibly generous executives at @WellsFargo who offered another round of financial support, and a Governor with the good sense to push through the normal bureaucratic nonsense that kills programs like this. Bravo to all!

PS. This is the third time in two months I’ve seen a program like this in action. The first was in Western North Carolina, (Rebuilding the Hollars), the second was in New Orleans, (@uCCNOLA.) The projects all have one thing in common - a shop class with an exceptional instructor. Like I said, it takes support from every direction, but a high school shop class is always where it starts.
For years, I’ve argued that removing shop class from high schools was a mistake that would deny a whole generation of students’ critical exposure to a long list of essential careers and rob them of an opportunity to prepare for the all-important apprenticeships on which most skilled careers are built. Today, standing in the shop class at Great Falls, watching dozens of engaged students cutting, hammering, measuring, and fabricating, it occurred to me that I was wrong. Taking shop class out of high school was not merely a mistake - it was the single dumbest decision in the history of modern education. We didn't just rob a whole generation of students, we robbed ourselves, in a colossal, self-inflicted wound that's led directly to a host of unintended consequences - including the current shortages in every essential skilled trade.
Correcting it, should be at or near the top of every Governor’s agenda in every single state. Because tomorrow’s skilled workforce is currently in the 8th grade, and if we don’t meet these kids where they are - right now - with programs like this, we’re in for a world of hurt.
