Churches are for-profit businesses - period. Purchase & sell properties, pay six/seven figure salaries, finance exorbitant building projects. We taxpayers pay higher taxes because these bogus "non-profits" are tax exempt. #TaxTheChurches
The BBC is now reporting that many of the Afghans killed in Kabul on August 26 were not killed by the suicide bombing, but actually shot dead by American soldiers in the chaos right after the explosion.
@mmpadellan We also can't pat ourselves too much on the back bc most of these individuals directly assisted us as in covert ops w US personnel saw stuff, know things, know names codes events +. They're full of intel. Every last person left behind will be interrogated before anything else.
@mmpadellan 37.887 million is a more massive number left behind. If all were Afghan, we would have rescued .3% of the total population. But we evacuated at least 20k Americans and other nationals. We'll leave more than half elible SIVs, doomed.
Fwiw US also killed 70,000 civilians minimum...

Over 1,100 union coal miners in Brookwood, Alabama, have been on an unfair labor practices strike against Warrior Met Coal for over five months. And for five months, the mainstream media has barely made a peep about the strike. https://t.co/xax53VpzvV
100 years ago today, my great great grandfather took up arms along side 10,000 other armed coal miners to fight to unionize the coal mines by any means necessary. I carry your story with pride and the fight will continue through our family until the workers have won.
