@AwakenWithJP The second go around has certainly had disappointments. Electing batshit crazy democrats (which is all of them) isn’t going to make anything better.
Every word is James Talarico’s.

“God is non-binary.”
“…many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.”
“If you deny your child’s gender identity… it’s abusive for sure.”
“There’s only one person who can determine a child’s gender identity, and that’s the child.”
“I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.”
“…the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children… All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”
“The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate, and my position hasn’t changed.”
“Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness.”
“It’s always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits…”
“Prison is violence.”
“Tear down this secret police force.”
Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.”
Send this to 10 Texas voters and tell them to vote today.
@BasedMikeLee Dems are going to pack SCOTUS, and the America we grew up knowing and love will be unrecognizable in 28. Republicans at this point are arrogant and incompetent at best! At worst they are complicit in losing the midterms to the democrats.
@BasedMikeLee Reps have screwed around and not passed the SAVE act when they had the majority. Midterms are just a couple of weeks away. Reps are about to get their asses handed to them. Many (not me) are either going to sit out or vote against them due to their lack of nerve.
@Cernovich I’m going to hold my nose and vote red. It’s really a vote of who do I believe will screw me over less. If the left wins we’re all in deep shit. Anything else is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
@dbo360x What was your impression of the venue? I’ve read mixed reviews, on TV the lighting looked sketchy. When they panned the crowd I was wondering if there were any grandstands. I wanted to go, but life got in the way.
@xmikemac@DefiyantlyFree I’ve been enjoying his podcast for a while. There have been various things that he has said in interviews that makes this announcement no surprise whatsoever.
In a recent forum, popular neuroscientist and health guru, Andrew Huberman, revealed his secret for falling asleep in those anxious mid-morning hours when he says you shouldn't believe any thought that fills your mind. He said, "I'm being completely direct with you when I say it's worked every single time."
Huberman: "What I do is I get out of bed, and I pray. And these days, you know, again, I'm just being completely direct with my practice, I just pray to God. I pray, I just ask Jesus, 'Would you please hold me and bring me some peace so I can rest, so I can be my best self tomorrow, so I can serve the world better. And I'm hurting right now, and I can't seem to do it for myself.'
He also referenced techniques for calming the body in this discussion, but he emphasized the relief he has found through prayer:
"It's a great time to pray. I'm serious, many a night, many a night, you will find me on my knees praying in the hours between 3 and 5:00 a.m. simply for peace, simply to get to morning without additional stress, simply just trying to listen for something other than my own anxious thoughts."
As a woman in her late 40s, I found it comforting to know that even big, strong health gurus know what it's like to struggle with sleep, but also to be reminded that ultimately it's the Lord who gives peace and rest to those who cast their anxious cares on Him. 💤
@ScottPresler Everyone needs to tone down a notch. He graduated HS there, and honestly believed he was a U.S. citizen. This seems to be a mistake on Joe’s part. I have friends in Coldwater. Pass the SAVE act, by all means. This case deserves discussion and discretion
This painting depicts one of the most heartbreaking farewells in art history...
It's called Ein lieber Besuch, "A Dear Visitor," and it was made by the Austrian artist Max Kurzweil in 1894. A mortally wounded officer lies in bed, and a fellow soldier lifts him gently so he can reach up one last time and touch the face of the horse that carried him through war.
The animal is right up to the bed. No one is holding it. It came on its own. It lowers its head toward the frail hand reaching for it, and the way it stands, uncertain, careful, tells you it senses that something is wrong. Its master, who was once strong and full of courage in the saddle, is now a shadow of the man it knew, and the horse seems to be trying to understand why. Why he does not rise. Why he does not come. Why the hand that reaches up is so weak...
It’s something anyone who has shared a deep bond with an animal can understand: two old friends who went through everything life brought their way together, a man and a horse who trusted each other with their lives, given one final moment before the end.
We often think the deepest bonds are the ones we can put into words, but Kurzweil painted the opposite: a farewell where not a single word is spoken, because none is needed. Everything they mean to each other passes between them in silence. And for one brief moment, before they part, that silence says everything...
