Addicted to the Detroit Lions. Some politics and opinion but honestly just want to see this world be a better place. Refuse to use this outlet for ignorance
This sums up my entire feeling about what we need in politics.
"You want the land of the free?"

This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics
My grandma accidentally became a Yelp celebrity in her retirement community. She thought she was leaving private notes for herself about which restaurants she'd been to. She was leaving detailed PUBLIC reviews but rating everything by her bowel movements afterward. "Gave me the runs - 2 stars." "No problems - 5 stars." "Constipated for days - 1 star." She had 847 followers before we noticed. The local newspaper did a story on "the area's most honest food critic." She now gets recognized at grocery stores. She still doesn't fully understand what Yelp is. She thinks she works for them now.

Very sad to learn that Mona Khalil died after weeks in the ICU following an Israeli strike that levelled her home in Mansouri. She was a very well-known environmental activist and dedicated her life to saving endangered turtles. She stayed in the south despite Israeli strikes because of her love for the land.
She was a civilian, a renowned figure but Israel targeted her house.
CNN profiled her in 2017 here: https://t.co/ZaMRnuS4zf
“I live every day to the fullest and don’t worry about tomorrow,” she told the newspaper.
We’re about to spend $300,000,000,000 rebuilding Iran after spending $80,000,000,000 destroying it, while telling Americans on Medicaid to take a hike.
America First.
Trump is giving $300 billion to Iran. This could pay for:
— Student debt elimination for 7.6M Americans
— An end to homelessness in America
— Healthcare subsidies for 22M Americans for nearly a decade
— Medicaid coverage for 3.2M Americans for a decade
— Food assistance for 41M Americans for 3 years
— Federal cancer research for 40+ years
— Free school lunch for every kid in America for over 4 years
— Replacing every lead pipe in America
— Free pre-K for every child in America for over 7 years
In the inaugural episode of ‘This Was SportsCenter’, Dan Patrick joined the show and told the story of the role he had in the origin of the “This Is SportsCenter” series of commercials… and reveals to us which of his MANY appearances in these commercials was his favorite:
A father and his young daughter lie dying having been hit with a precision missile (US made) by Israel.
The ambulance crew arrives to try help.
Israel then hits them with a missile.
All on camera.
Proven.
War crimes.
Yet our leaders still arm them & support them.
Why?
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
