@TKSlaysTogether @TruthHolder2023 What's that quote?

[Michael Bergquist @catchya3]

@ALScyborg Fun to read about your trip. Thanks for sharing. Amazing time we live in to see all these advances in technology.

[Michael Bergquist @catchya3]

@kalifahfattah @ZacksJerryRig I'm not here to judge that but go listen to the whole video for context. He's talking about helping others get free from their addictions in addition to his own. That's a great thing to celebrate.

[Michael Bergquist @catchya3]

@ALScyborg That does seem contradictory.

Hey just want you to know that your story inspires me and I think it is wonderful that you now have the ability to communicate better through neuralink's technology. May God continue to bless you my friend.

[Michael Bergquist @catchya3]

@_CoryBowen That's hilarious and awesome

When my wife and I were in our early 20s and struggling to make ends meet, buy food and pay the rent we knew a woman who was our age. She had three kids from three different absentee dads. Unlike us, she didn’t need to work.

She had her apartment paid for by the taxpayers, her medical care paid, her kids childcare paid by the taxpayers. She even got to attend courses at the local college, also paid for by the taxpayers. She had the newest phones, computers and had cable television which we could not afford. Every month in addition to having rent, luxury food, heat, school and childcare paid for she got a check which was more than our combined incomes…she even got bonuses for having so many kids.

A decade went by and we worked hard and built careers and the beginnings of financial security. This woman stayed on the system. Never working a day, occasionally attending classes, enjoying days of leisure while taxpayer funded childcare took care of the children. She partied most nights with “the girls” out drinking and able to sleep late most days. Also subsidized.

Once my wife saw her buy $200 worth of books at Barnes and Noble - you guessed it, taxpayer funded as a very broadly defined ‘education’ initiative.

My wife said “This is ridiculous. Someone should turn her in for fraud.”

“But that’s the trick”, I replied “she isn’t committing fraud. This is exactly the way the system is designed. She isn’t breaking a single rule - in fact, because she goes to school she’s considered a model citizen in the program.”

This is the nature of government subsidies. It’s not even the blatant fraud and illegal actions - it’s the entire design from top to bottom incentives for waste and grift and horrible economics in even the best cases.

There are millions of people just like this wasteful woman, living off the labor of others. There are a million more contractors living even better as facilitators of this grift. And you know what? It’s not even a drop in the bucket compared to the real spending: DoD and other agencies on down who waste more in an hour than 1000 like this woman will grift in a lifetime.

Rotten to the core - top to bottom. Theft of your labor and wages by politicians.

Rather than changing our circumstances, our Heavenly Father can change us and our hearts so we then can change our circumstances.

This strength to change comes from Jesus Christ—an incredible gift from a loving God.

In Jesus Christ’s restored Church, we are all better when no one sits alone.

Today, many feel lonely and isolated. Social media and artificial intelligence can conjure a mirage of digital connectedness that leaves us thirsting for human closeness and human touch.

We want to hear each other’s voices. We want authentic belonging and kindness.

In His Church and through His ordinances and covenants, Jesus Christ can heal and bless us. By coming to each other and to Him, we love and are loved, serve and are served, forgive and are forgiven.

Let us not simply accommodate or tolerate. Let us genuinely welcome, acknowledge, minister to, love. May each friend, sister, brother, not be a foreigner or stranger but a child at home. #GeneralConference #HearHim

Wow. Can I get Elder Brown’s spiritual power tapped directly into my veins?

@jonrhewitt @Manhattva Do you believe that one day your children can become like you?

[Robert P. George @McCormickProf]

Catholic and Protestant friends: Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints are today mourning the death of their beloved leader, President Nelson. At the same time, they are in shock at a murderous assault at a church in Michigan. This is NO TIME for theological disputations! The only thing we should be saying right now is this: "We stand in loving solidarity with you, dear brothers and sisters."

[Andy Delecto @AndyDelecto]

This moment, from 18 years ago, will always be my memory of President Nelson. This is how President Nelson has supported the Church through the past 7 years, as tumultuous a time it has been for the world. Thank you, President Nelson. Rest in peace.

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

Godspeed President Nelson.

Well done, thy good and faithful servant.

[Tim Allen @ofctimallen]

When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband: “That man… that young man… I forgive him.”  That moment deeply affected me.  I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: “ I forgive the man who killed my father.”
Peace be with you all.

[Hank Smith @hankrsmith]

All your losses will be made up to you in the resurrection, provided you continue faithful.

By the vision of the Almighty I have seen it.
