Let's be clear:
If Karmelo Anthony is found innocent. That means you can kill somebody in TX for pushing you during a verbal disagreement, as long as you're on their property. Bouncers are gonna need a raise.
@BadgedPatriot This post really got the idiots out in full force.
"The NSA is really tracking every cell phone in the world. No matter who you are, every day of your life, you're sitting in a database, just... ready to be looked at."
Morons.
@MistyOJernigan@Phoenix2A_1980s I spent the 90s in Oak Cliff (I'm white). The parts I grew up on (Zang Blvd) were all bought out by homosexuals. Hood rats fled at first, but then the city allowed adjacent housing to use LIH vouchers. Now, Oak Cliff is slowing turning back into the 90s version.
Amrica is no longer. Not the America you all want. Nothing, no president or otherwise, will change this. There is only 1 way out, and that is to start all over. However, American politicians succeeded in destroying 1A enough to where one is now afraid to use their 2A.
Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.
Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.
Pass it on.
To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.
So let me get this straight.
100% of the enslavement was done by Africans.
Only 4% of the TOTAL trans atlantic slaves ended up in America.
Where only 1.3% of Americans had a slave at the peak of slavery.
Some of those slave owners were BLACK
Credentialism is one of the strangest religions ever invented. A piece of paper signed by the right stranger is treated as evidence of wisdom, while actual results are treated as anecdotal.
It’s what mediocre people build when reality keeps asking for proof of competence.
@FBIDirectorKash@DAGToddBlanche Hey @FBIDirectorKash did you know that most AUSA's DO NOT ALLOW misdemeanor arrests by federal agents? Most AUSAs say, "Our court isnt set up to handle these. Let the State handle it". This needs to change, if you want Feds to be "cops".
For those of you who’ve recently been awarded a leadership position, congratulations. Continue to earn respect by mentoring every day. People still ask me to mentor, and I’m always honored to do so.
Poppi soda is outta here! Instead, cane-sugar Sprite and Dr. Pepper will be joining our cane-sugar Coca-Cola!
Nostalgia is beautiful. Our predecessors enjoyed the finer things. We will go forward by going backward!
