My jaw fell open when I saw this POS attorney, #Redfington at the press conference of #Clancy s mistrial. Claiming what a WONDERFUL person she is and how the poor thing is going to have to suffer in a wheelchair the rest of her life!
I haven’t been glued to the news about this the way a lot of people have, but seems to me this lone holdout on the jury is the HERO of the Year. 😳🙄
I’ve thought about where evil actually comes from.
God didn’t create us to be evil. He gave us a choice. And I think that’s where the battle really starts.
Look at the Garden of Eden. Satan didn’t show up forcing Adam and Eve to do anything. He planted doubt.
Did God really say that?
That was enough.
A little doubt turned into temptation. Temptation turned into a choice. And that choice changed everything.
I think we still see the same thing today.
The enemy doesn’t always come looking like evil. Sometimes it’s just that little voice telling you that you’re justified in your anger. That you deserve revenge. That your pride matters more than doing what’s right.
But we can’t blame Satan for every bad decision either.
Sometimes the problem is us.
Our pride. Our anger. Our jealousy. Our greed. Our own desires.
That’s the part people don’t like talking about.
The devil can tempt you, but he doesn’t get to make your choices for you.
That’s why the real battle isn’t always somewhere out in the world.
Sometimes it’s happening right inside your own heart.
And that’s exactly why we need Christ.
Because none of us wins that battle perfectly.
Jesus faced temptation, hatred, betrayal and death and never surrendered to evil. They put Him on a cross thinking darkness had won.
Three days later the tomb was empty.
That tells me everything I need to know.
Evil is real.
The battle is real.
But evil doesn’t get the last word.
God does.
@wbir I bet it never made it.
FYi: Don’t ever use Fed Ex to send a gift card. They don’t guarantee them and of the four times they have been sent to me they were obviously stolen by employees all food times!. 🙄
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

Word is getting out in Nashville, TN that at Ascensions St. Thomas Midtown that at least four people were accidentally injected during a spinal procedure for joint replacements with Potassium Chloride instead of some form of Marcaine (numbing medicine) and are in serious condition: one on respirator and possible paralysis. Don’t know exactly more details. Please pray for all involved. 🙏🙏🙏#AscensionStThomasMidtown #Potassiuminjectedinspine @heidiklessigmd@LelandVittert@wendyp4545
I will never get over what happened on 9/11.
Just 25 years later, a sanctimonious jihadist communist sits at the NYC’s mayor’s desk lecturing America, while associating with known terrorist, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, and people who want non-Muslims dead.
Shame on NYC.
The parents should be charged, and the kids should be sent to JUVY!!!
A group of YOUNG UNCONTROLLED THUGS beat a female police officer in North Charleston, South Carolina…
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!
So you don’t feel comfortable celebrating America’s 250th anniversary because of our “complicated past” or some bullshit?
Cool, find me a country with a spotless history then.
You can’t.
And if you go looking you’ll soon learn this one is as close as they come.
Why do you think half the world risked life and limb to come here? And why you haven’t left.
Look, we all know America isn’t perfect; I’m Gen X and from the Deep South and I learned all about slavery and suffrage and the Trail of Tears every single year from elementary school through 12th grade.
They drilled it into our brains ad nauseam. We couldn’t ignore it if we tried, but when you celebrate someone’s birthday you don’t bring up all the dumb shit they did in the distant past, do you?
Of course not you miserable f***s!
It’s a party for the greatest country the world has ever known, not a struggle session centered on shit that happened a century ago.
But you know all this, you just look for stuff to cry about because the only way you keep any fraction of power is by keeping America divided; a truly “United States” would render your ideology extinct overnight.
And if Trump was half the dictator you claimed you’d be on the first train out of here. But he isn’t, and America isn’t the fascist nightmare state you love to pretend it is.
Quite the opposite, in fact, hence your being allowed to exist here.
If there’s anything still wrong with this country it’s people like you who take advantage of its generosity while also somehow playing the victim.
So grab your boxed wine, stream your Hasan Piker, and cry into your thrifted cat pillow.
Because George Washington, and the rest of us for that matter, are over your bullshit.
Did you hear what The View's Sunny Hostin just said? She called Maine's Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner "a cheater, an antisemite, a liar, a racist, and a homophobe."
Then she paused and said something very telling: “BUT...” the Democrats need "to win that seat in Maine" to stop Trump.
This once again proves that the Left has no moral code and will do anything to seize back power.
Here's something we all need to remember: Everything before you say “but” is what you actually believe. Everything after is what you’re willing to trade it for.
The Left is willing to trade exactly what they’ve been claiming to fight just to regain a little bit of power. All the harping about racism, sexism, and homophobia means nothing if they’ll compromise their beliefs for 'the collective good.'
@CodyTheSeabee Oh, it is WAY worse than junior high on here! I had to make this account because I was a target of massive blocking, reporting and bullying which was complete platform manipulation! I mean HUNDREDS that I know of. I have a list! An elephant may forgive, but he doesn’t forget!
