what is patriotic, as stated by T.Rooosevelt: standing by the country, not persons, and speaking the truth. Read up in 'Lincoln and Free Speach' from 1918
@DLgodlessbitch "Be fruitful and multiply" is a biblical quote (Genesis 1:28). God literally tells Adam & Eve to copulate. Seems this preacher lost the plot.
@DuchessSexpert This was one ofyour cousin's wedding? So it was his/her grandma too? Sorry Gram had to experience being so disrespected Glad you did what you could to include her & wish you both peace over it.
A mother has written a touching note to the teenager who taught her daughter how to use her skateboard and it’s now gone viral:
"Dear teenage boy at the
skate park:
You’re probably about 15 years-old, so I don’t expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter.
What you don’t know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn’t just for boys.
So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenaged boys who were smoking and swearing, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home.
I secretly wanted to go too because I didn’t want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you.
I also didn’t want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn’t entitled to that skate park just as much as you were.
So when she said, 'Mom it’s full of older boys,' I calmly said, 'So what, they don’t own the skate park.'
She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her.
She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said 'Hey, excuse me …'
I immediately prepared to deliver my 'She’s allowed to use this park just as much as you guys' speech when I heard you say, 'Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?'
You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you – a feat not attained by most adults.
You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn’t get hurt.
I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it.
She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you."

@BeauChandler12@TizzyEnt WHAT? How does that work - like what is going on in sb. head, to be able to consolidate what appears to be a Jekyll & Hyde situation?
Rebecca Vincen-Brown was 16 weeks old when she was told her fetus had a severe genetic condition.
Survival at birth was unlikely and Rebecca was at risk of developing complications.
Idaho law prohibits abortion at any stage, with unclear exceptions.
She jumped in the car with her husband and child to begin driving the seven hours with her husband and child to get to an Oregon clinic.
Rebecca ultimately “passed the pregnancy in a hotel bathroom as her daughter slept on the other side of the door.”
Republican thirst for power puts women at risk.
Republicans are degrading your wives. Your sisters. Your friends. The people you care about.
Women passing pregnancies in hotel and store bathrooms are unsanitary, unsafe, and inhumane.
Cruelty has always been the point.

@garyhgoodridge Looking SO good!
Happy birthday!! May you be surrounded by ppl. who love you & you love back, may you have a wonderful day to celebrate! 😊
@Karnythia Good for her, that she is doing things for herself and seems to be thriving. I hope they can figure out a path going forward that works for them both, whatever that entails (together, healed or happily divorced?).
After Forbes dropped him from its list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, Trump accuses the magazine of being “controlled by Communist China!”

Let me introduce you to Amanda Eid and Josh Zurawski, high school sweethearts. They married and immediately worked on expanding their family.
They tried to have a baby but failed. Amanda then underwent extensive fertility treatment for almost two years and finally became pregnant. They were overjoyed.
It all came crashing down when at 18 weeks her water broke. Her doctor told her the baby would not survive.
"We found out that we were going to lose our baby…”Amanda
She was fully dilated and was going to miscarry. The pregnancy could not be saved and Amanda was at high risk for infection among other life-threatening conditions.
Amanda needed the pregnancy terminated, however under Texas law, since there was a heartbeat the doctor could not perform one. She was sent home, only to return when she felt she had gotten sick enough that her life was threatened.
Three days later a bacterial infection had taken over her body. She was rushed to the hospital where antibiotics wouldn’t stop the infection nor a blood transfusion.
Family members flew in from across the country as she was admitted to the ICU.
Amanda survived but now her uterus is scarred from the infection, and she may not be able to have children.
