@MattSchumacker_ as a North Carolinian, for the love of God, stop saying “Raleigh Durham.” That’s the airport. You are in Raleigh tonight. Durham is down the road. Your broadcast partner knows better. Follow his lead.
@dogwoodblooms Thanks for this! I work for NC Historic Sites and I do a lot with both Fort Fisher and Fort Anderson. We certainly appreciate positive reviews for all our sites. I’ll be sure the staff at Fisher sees your blog post.
@WestColoJones@CWBreakfastClub@JudgeBobOrr There are plenty of Black Civil War reenactors if you know where to look. Even though no USCT fought at Bentonville there were several in the ranks at this reenactment.
@CWBreakfastClub Wish I had known y’all were there. I’m the lead safety officer for the state and was there all weekend handling weapon inspections and on field safety. During the battle I was hanging around the Union artillery.
Listen up Fascist Barbie:
Canada ranks 4th in the world for overall quality of life. Why the fuck would we trade that for a country spiraling under the regime of a felon who worships dictators & doesn’t give two shits about his own people? Fuck off bimbo!
Russell Moore told NPR that evangelical pastors he works with are facing pushback when preaching the words and ethics of Jesus. He said, “Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount [and] to have someone come up after to say, ‘Where did you get those liberal talking points?’ … What was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would be, ‘Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak.’”
When Christians are quick to publicly proclaim that the teachings of Jesus are antiquated and weak, we have a crisis on our hands. As my friend @Brcremer always says, “when you worship power, things like mercy, empathy, and compassion sound like weakness.”
“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
If you're a veteran of the United States Armed Forces and stand behind what just happened to Gen. Mark Milley, no matter what you think, you truly don’t understand the meaning of the oath you took. Not at all.
The United States is currently producing more oil and gas than any other time in history. More than under Trump.
Yet people who voted for Trump think that Biden destroyed domestic oil production.
When you have a stupid population you get stupid results.
NC is wild. We elected a Democratic Governor, a democratic LT Governor, a democratic Attorney General, and a democrat superintendent of public education and broke the supermajority in the General Assembly, but people still voted for Trump…
It takes a great deal of arrogance to live in the U.S. with over 200 different sects of Christianity, all with their own unique interpretation of the Bible, yet insist that other Christians aren’t “real Christians” unless they vote by your interpretation of “Biblical values.”
I happen to think Harris would not have gotten much done as president.
But Trump and a Republican Senate will do real damage.
And his supporters want him to do precisely that.
The resilience of American principles and institutions is about to be tested. Really tested.
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
@sntmods1776@smalls2672 Many of the colonies were actually formed as business ventures with religion being an afterthought at best. The Carolinas and Virginia immediately come to mind. But don’t let the facts fuck up your preferred narrative.
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Now this is how you debunk the false claims about Governor Tim Walz. Veterans are pissed that JD Vance and MAGA are attacking one of their own. This won't end well for Trump. 🚨
