@drjamesdinic Eating essentially the same thing repeatedly is not boring! Not when you come to realize that food is merely fuel, not entertainment or comfort or happiness or indulgence. The body is miraculous when properly fueled.
Everything about the Left is fake.
Once you understand it, everything makes sense.
>Eat the rich... from your mansion
>Save the planet... from your private jet
>Everyone is racist... while you fund the racism.
>Billionaires are evil... unless you fund our candidates.
>Words are violence... but my violence is actually speech
>Wrong pronouns are assault... but burning a courthouse in a protest is mostly peaceful
>We love immigrants... unless you send them to Martha's Vineyard then we call ICE too
>Democracy is sacred... unless we lose, then it was stolen by Russia, misinformation, or Elon
>Diversity is our strength... unless you're a Black conservative, then you're a race traitor who needs to be destroyed
>Tax the wealthy... while your foundation, your trust, and your three LLCs are structured specifically to avoid paying a dime of it
>Capitalism is oppression... posted from an iPhone, on a platform worth a trillion dollars, while wearing merch sold through the your merch store linked in your bio
It's all fake, it's all performative and should be endlessly mocked into oblivion.
Give them zero comfort.
The doctrine is always designed so the cost lands on someone else.
The cashier pays for your protest. The suburban parents pays for your sanctuary city. The trade school kid pays for your student loan forgiveness. The taxpayer pays for your foundation's tax shelter. The working mom pays for your gas stove ban. The factory town pays for your Green New Deal. The girl on the swim team pays for your pronouns. The cop's widow pays for your bail reform.
It's a massive, evil, cost-transfer operation that pretends the evil they are pushing, is moral.
...and it's just evil
Dear legacy media journalists:
In light of your Scott Pelley lunatic antics; apparently, you all need a reality refresher. So as a public service to your cratering brand, here you go:
1- You do not run the company that employs you. The executive management runs the company, subject to oversight by the owners and/or the stockholders. You are not part of that oversight process.
2- The company that employees you does not owe you an explanation of everything they do, especially with regard to personnel matters. In fact, your own legal / HR department will tell you it is problematic to discuss personnel decisions beyond a need-to-know basis.
3- People don't care who reports the story - they care about the quality of the story. Reading a teleprompter put together by the production team that did the story isn't the galactic-level skill you may think it is.
4- This one should be obvious, but when journalists are the story versus reporting the story, you all failed.
5- When you run a story that is critical of an individual, administration, or institution; allowing the subject of the story to comment ahead of time is not "injecting political bias into the story." It's Journalism 101, which apparently is no longer taught in Journalism 101.
6- We really don't care what a "former producer" or a "former correspondent" thinks about anything. There's often a good reason they are a "former" something, and that reason usually undercuts their credibility.
7- This one also seems obvious, but you're subject to - and only subject to - the same employment laws that affect everyone else in every other business. When the First Amendment was written, the "press" referred to the printing press, not some special class of citizenry that is exempt from laws that affect everyone else.
8- When you have a show that suffered one of the worst scandals in journalism history - revolving around the literal forging of fake memos - don't tell us it's a gold standard that never had a blemish in its history. You just look dumb when you do that.
You're welcome.
The Church is broken
And in a state of emergency
Heretics are continually being promoted to positions of power throughout the Church
The reverent, apostolic worship of God is constantly being marginalised and persecuted
Sacred Doctrine is being replaced by the ideology of secular humanism
Abortionists are welcomed and honoured as if their abominable crimes mean nothing
Faithful bishops are being illegally removed from their dioceses for upholding the Catholic Faith
Faithful religious monasteries and convents are being hijacked and devastated by Church appointed apparatchiks
Faithful bishops and priests speaking out against the heresy are being suspended and excommunicated
Teachers are promoting LGBT/contraception propaganda in Catholic schools
Catholic couples are using contraception, divorcing and remarrying with the active encouragement of the Church
Active homosexuals and men pretending to be women are encouraged to be godparents and take on roles in parishes
Schismatics and pagans are welcomed and affirmed by the pope and bishops in their deadly errors, while faithful Catholics are threatened with excommunication
The pope and many bishops are publicly siding with the persecutors and murderers of Catholics, pretending the genocide of Christians isn't happening
Not only is there the total lack of Christianity here, but there's also a lack of humanity, there's a coldness, there's an evil behind all of this.
Martina McBride and every other entertainer who won’t honor their country at its 250th birthday celebration just outed themselves as privileged, petulant ungrateful people.
Oh you don’t like who the President is but you won’t honor America on its birthday? The country that gave you every single thing you have. Your fame, success, money.
So you only love this county when your team wins?
It’s a shameful display of privilege. No gratitude. No humility. No pride in your country.
You’re not hurting Trump or any of the other Americans who will proudly be celebrating that day. You’re just outing yourself as a thankless partisan coward.
@ElieJarrougeMD I am your prime example. 11 years ago was 6-1 350lbs, very unhealthy diet, way too much beer. 185 today. Used to have 4-5 gout flares a year. Now, none. Haven't had one in 9 years eating meat, eggs, some dairy, some fruit, limited veg.
@chiproytx Classy. I didn't vote for you this time, but I won't rule it out on another day for another office. We need you fighting with us. (Disappointed that some of these other replies lack class.)
@Mike_Pence I agree that civility is in short supply nowadays, across the spectrum. I agree that the Golden Rule should be among our guiding principles, if not foremost. At the same time, we cannot show civility in the face of evil. It must be conquered.
@DutchRojas My wife was Rx'd a DEXA scan by PCP. She made 10+ calls to huge Texas health system to ascertain insurance coverage and final cost. Total run-around. We wound up going to BodySpec for $60.
I can’t help it, I admit it… I choke up a bit on Memorial Day when I think about our veteran ancestors giving up their lives to give us, our children, and grandchildren…
Life, Liberty, and Freedom.
Americans who have given what Abraham Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” occupy a special place in our nation’s history.
As we commemorate America 250 by celebrating the birth of freedom represented by the Declaration of Independence, it is important to point out that not a single Founding Father believed either the Declaration or the Constitution (created in the decade following the American Revolution) guaranteed the perpetuation of a free society.
They all understood that creating a framework for a republican form of government was necessary but not sufficient to ensure the preservation of individual liberty. The American experiment would require hard work — and each generation of Americans would have to do its part when freedom was at risk.
No group has given more in service of this experiment than those who we honor on Memorial Day. Without their sacrifice, the preservation of a constitutional system would be impossible — and there would not be a celebration for America 250.
They fought the good fight, they finished the race, they kept the faith.
And we will be forever in their debt.
@shipwreckedcrew As a former sports "journalist" myself, I concluded early on that covering games/players is not a noble calling. Pro sports are entertainment, nothing more. If it all went away, we'd find something else to do with our time/money in like 2 weeks.
@DrSuneelDhand Saw a TV ad yesterday for some Rx saving plan that showed family of 6. It said they had 75 Rx among them. What? If this is only half true, we have a major issue.
I won’t be integrating synod reports into my Catholic Faith, quite the opposite
I totally reject them as alien to the Catholic Faith and a danger to the salvation of souls
