If this prick isn’t arrested, there is zero chance of ever saving America! The Somali fraud is only part of the stench emanating from Tim Walz; the intelligence community KNOWS Walz was 100% comproised by the CCP!

Congressional report slams Minnesota’s Walz, Ellison for turning ‘blind eye’ to mass welfare fraud

House Oversight Committee alleges that Minnesota Democrats in the state turned a blind eye to mass fraud because they feared “political retribution from the politically active Somali community.” James Comer, R-Ky., the committee chairman, said: “Americans are fed up with fraud and expect action from the government entrusted with their hard-earned money.”

@BowTiedBroke I heard about this program when we moved to Knoxville. If you have any tips on land in Kodak please let me know. I am over Knoxville.

[BowTiedBroke @BowTiedBroke]

My annual taxes on my land:

325 acre parcel - $1,200
200 acre parcel - $900
100 acre parcel - $435
85 acres multiple parcels - around $1,200

Key to owning land. Immediately put it in your states Greenbelt program. Declare as ag or forestry land. Cuts taxes by nearly 75%.

The, "I think" statement is the same as " I feel…" Very evangelical and also not historical Anglican.

[Jared @RevJaredJones]

Also, I think God does this on purpose. This is the same thing that evangelicals did with “Christian worldview.”

“If we just raise them with the right worldview, our kids won’t leave the church.”

How’d that go?

Anything we put our trust in to save us, don’t be shocked when God slips out the side and you don’t find him there. He must be found in his word alone, and you must trust it and not put your trust in anything else that tempts you to put your hope in it, even very good things.

As a geriatric millennial, no one cares about what trump is doing because AND more importantly, we have bigger problems in our homes and community. National politics is for the boomers. My in-laws are planning their second home at my house and my parents have no plan at all.

Shawn Ryan on Trump: “I just don’t see any positivity coming out of this administration. It seems very self-serving. He had Todd Blanche do the dirty work so him or anybody in his family could never be audited by the IRS? What the fuck is that shit? The drone company, the $400M jet from Qatar, the Executives Club. Does this shit look like he’s serving the fucking people? No.”

A priest singing Bob Dylan is like asking a nun for advise on sex.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

As many of you well know, Bob Dylan means a lot to me. His birthday is this Sunday, and I recorded his song “You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” in tribute to him. Happy 85th birthday, @bobdylan!

Its official. Im headed to work with Prof Steven Skultety and the @umdeclaration at @OleMiss during my sabbatical. Im grateful for the chance to spend time in Mississippi at a great university working on a history of Southern political philosophy and theology. Hotty Toddy!

Since becoming Anglican, I've always been bothered by the "go along to get along" attitude of ostensible "conservative" leaders and their benefactors within ACNA. Clearly this isn't the sentiment of the duplicitous progressives who've had their way since the Province’s inception.

Family land sold to a local boy for development. Why does this keep happening? I at least harvested the wildflowers and replanted them.

[John Ʌ Konrad V @johnkonrad]

For a month we ran exercises off a 1000’ ship anchored near Camp Pendleton. The Marines descended on our galley like a pack of starving rats.

And like rats, they went back and told all their friends how good the food was.

The next morning they arrived by LCAC.
If you’ve never seen a Landing Craft Air Cushion, the photos make them look like ballerinas. Gliding across the water. Kissing the beach effortlessly. The kind of boat you’d use to insert a covert op team.

They are anything but.

You can hear those suckers over the horizon before you can see them through binoculars. I’ve stood in a sealed steel compartment next to a diesel engine the size of a house and it wasn’t this loud.

They land. They head straight for the galley.

Our Captain finds the bird colonel and tells him we don’t have enough food.

The colonel calls his supply sergeant.

The sergeant pulls us aside, winks, and says, “I got ya.”

Next day the boats start arriving. Boat after boat, packed with heavy pallets.

Steak. Lobster. Ice cream. Fresh coffee.
Everything good.

But, this was a thousand-foot ship. The pallet crane sat on the starboard stern.

The galley walk-in was three decks down, near the port bow.

On a Navy ship they’d form a human chain and pass the food hand over hand. They can do that because they carry hundreds of sailors, and their ships aren’t a thousand feet long.

This ship was owned by the Navy and crewed by the U.S. Merchant Marine.

We had thirty men aboard.

It took us all weekend to haul that food.

Backbreaking labor in the California summer sun.

Monday morning the LCACs come back. The Marines chow down. One of my seamen, a short fat kid, asks me to point out the supply sergeant.

I waved the guy over. He came beaming.
“Told you I’d hook you up.”

My seaman steps up and says, “Hook us up? I’m about to kick your ass.”

A Marine at the next table calls out, “You got him, Sarge. That guy doesn’t even look like he works out.”

The seaman, the type always running an angle, says, “Never work out? Bet you I can lift that freezer.”

Bets get made.

He walks over and slowly unscrews the restraints from the deck.

Then he squats the damn thing.

Silence.

The sergeant asks how the hell he did it.

“How the F do you think all that food gets from the back deck to the galley? I F’n carry it down here.”

Then he did a victory lap. He walked to every table in the mess and said, “F YOU.”

Every table.

Then he stormed out.

He was so mad he forgot to collect his winnings. 🤣
