@SagesBasics My grandmother was born in 1900, raised 13 kids, told the girls to have a ‘career’ bc you never know what you marry: a fab provider who drops dead or bcos disabled & then what do you do to care for you kids? Each of my aunts had a backup (my mom was a teacher, taught 1 year).
@pagelsfolife@RealCandaceO@baroncoleman They are all self-interested grifters. They are all making money (Kirk, Owens, Carlson, etc) on lies and fronts. Ignore them all and hope they go away.
@KnoxTJT@jeremyct My understanding is concert ticket prices rose bc artists aren’t making money off recordings anymore. Something about Apple Music and Spotify, etc. taking the money spent and it is not being funneled to the artists. No one buys ‘records’ anymore. IDK for sure.
@DavidJHarrisJr Idk. Rockefeller was a billionaire with 7k millionaires. Musk is a trillionaire in a world with 3,400-ish billionaires. We need more liberty and fewer govt chains so we can all be financially independent like before Wilson and the federal reserve.
@simonateba@elonmusk I don’t care. He didn’t steal it. He earned it. The same cries were made when the industrialists (Rockefeller, Carnegie) made money hand over fist. People bought and used their products. They buy and use Musk’s, too.
@ChristinaPushaw@MrsCMFrancis We lived in San Diego 15 years. I could see the ocean from my window. Red tide & 54 degree water. 🤮. Moved to southern Alabama and went to Florida beaches more in 1 summer (every weekend) than the previous 15 years in CA. Warm, clean water, nice people, no needles, easy drive.
@plarsenviking1@MichelleDLesley Yep. I’ve heard Marxism spoken about positively with zero pushback in small groups. It’s disguised as compassion for the poor.
@dfziklag Jesus Christ was fully human. That’s the beauty of his life. He did the father’s will and we can, too, with a good knowledge of the power available thru the gift of Holy Spirit made available on the day of Pentecost (AKA as ‘the comforter’) and renewing our minds to God’s Word.
@TylerGaulden I have quite a few theological issues with Baptist BUT a call to stand on the Word of God without excuse is not one of them.
Thank you for your stand.
Hey Jasmine…
Black pilot here.
I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.
I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.
Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”
That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.
Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.
And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.
They care whether the pilot is qualified.
Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.
And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.
I practice law in Collin County, Texas.
Karmelo Anthony will be convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
As he should.
He murdered that boy because he was raised to hate white people and to view himself as a victim in every situation.
It’s a culture thing.
@FoundAt5280@MmisterNobody That happened to me when I got a new puppy. Paid cash for the pup but the vet was on my card. Suddenly, FB is showing me dog training ads. That was 11 years ago. Yesterday, we talked @ changing up her food. Every ad this morning on social media was dog food. Expensive dog food.
