🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Ron DeSantis has just signed a law BANNING Sharia Law from being enforced anywhere in the state of Florida
Sharia Law and Islamism are INCOMPATIBLE with America.
This should be a FEDERAL law.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! This is "Republican" North Carolina Senate candidate LaKeshia Alston
She is telling voters "I am a Republican...I have matured, the GOP looks like me." 🤯
Alston is a lifelong Democrat.
Oh - and she is RUNNING UNOPPOSED in a GOP primary!
I love whatever is wrong with y’all. 😂
Brother up front in green is nailing it and carrying the team in this Charlie Brown dance!
Love this family’s spirit! ❤️
American Veterinarian was at a Veterinary Conference
She says that all the Vets there say the same thing, they are all being bombarded with weekly phone calls from corporations and private equity firms to buy their practices
This is why taking your pet to the vet has skyrocketed in price
“This is a huge problem in the veterinary industry. When I'm at this conference with all of these very boutique, artisan, amazing veterinarians that are so passionate about what they do, the biggest thing that they talk about is this corporate takeover of the veterinary industry — it's just steamrolling the industry and it really affects the patient care and every step of the process”
“I asked her, I said, are people bombarding you? Are corporations bombarding you to buy your practice? And she said, yes, they are. It's constantly. Every single week, she has multiple corporations that are approaching her with great offers to buy her practice.”
I didn't really know anything about Charlie Kirk
Until this week Kirk was a name and face I would occasionally see someone retweet on here and I would scroll past. I'd seen 2 or 3 short videos taken from Tiktok of him debating some low IQ college student but that was it.
I'm generally not interested in MAGA. I broadly believe in many of their goals, but find much of the rhetoric and policy implementation to be self defeating. To me Kirk was another Ben Shapiro or Tim Pool. All MAGA, all the time.
Immediately following his shooting my shock was political and societal. Another step down in what seems to be the never ending descent of American, and thus Western, society. Another sad day for free speech, no matter what you thought of the man's politics.
Then in the following hours my timeline was filled with videos of Kirk as a father, and my heart broke. I saw a man that was clearly devoted to his family and who loved them, and was loved in return, a great deal. I felt that love forever torn apart. I saw a daughter that would never run to her father and wrap her arms around him again.
The following day I saw more videos on here, and out of respect and curiosity I watched them all. Maybe they would make some sense of why someone felt the need to end this man's life and rob his children of a father. They did not.
Contrary to the tweets spreading through X as some kind of justification, what I found was a man who was deeply religious. I man that had a true belief system, and not one that he bent or shaped to fit to modern society. For example. he absolutely believed that homosexuality was a sin because that was what the bible told him, but he did not hate or think less of those people. Many of his close friends such as Peter Thiel and David Rubin were gay.
What I see when I watch the videos of Kirk is a fan of deep faith who put that faith above everything else. I see a man who treated everyone with compassion and civility. I see a man that was friendly and open and honest.
Honestly, I see a man that is braver and better than I. Not because he put himself in danger by wanted to talk to people, but by handing himself completely over to a belief system that I've never been able to get my head around. Like many of us, the idea is alien to me.
I can't say I don't watch his videos with a tinge of jealousy. What I see is a man who was completely happy. A man confident in his faith and who led his life accordingly. A man who not just believed, but acted on his belief.
At a time when so many people seem empty and depressed, it's hard not to be a little jealous of a person that seemed so fulfilled.
With this in mind, it's been incensing to see him slandered on here by people without any of the faith and none of the commitment. To see people take the man's faith and turn it into something twisted and hateful.
I knew nothing of the man in life, but I will try to listen to him more in death.
@EricLDaugh the same type of coming together displayed yesterday in the PEOPLE's house when the democrats were loudly objecting to praying for Charley yesterday? You mean that kind???

What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? @chipgaines
