@wfaa You know why it's going to be renamed "Gulf of America"?
To bypass this π
"Biden's executive actions from January 6, 2025, have banned new oil and gas leasing in the eastern Gulf of Mexico."
I read the whole thing and here's what I think. "White" catholics don't see or view race through the lens you do. They literally don't care, don't notice & doesn't factor into their decision on local,state,federal elections, school boards, judges, county commissioner or whatever. The church is universal, spanning every country on earth.
You're horizontally spreading a secular view when it should be a vertical spiritual one. Instead of a "put on the glasses" moment (ala They Live) sounds like you need to take the glasses off.

Combined snow & sleet amounts between 2-5 inches are forecast along & north of I-20. There is an increasing threat for intense banded snowfall north & northeast of the Metroplex which may result in isolated snowfall accumulations between 8-10 inches resulting in higher impacts.
Just so you know - many people in Hollywood, who I canβt stand politically, lost their homes in these fires.
But this is a time to put political differences aside as Americans, so I pray for them and their families to be safe and Iβm truly sorry for their loss. And Iβll be glad to help them in anyway I can.
