You were brilliant as always Steve! Loved your speech on faith. The strength of your faith and the emphatic way you express it is so inspiring and reassuring.

It must be noted that the United States did not issue a proclamation today honoring Dr. King. Purposely silent, of course.

Ignorance is as ignorance does. The dumb fucks around us elected this crew.

Epstein Cover Up: A Case For American Morality

DOJ in response to a Congressional demand for release of the files has said in essence “We’re not going to and nobody can make us”

The quiet part is now being said out loud Today's Nazi Republican Party has since at least Reagan has been the political equivalent of the "wealthy bro club" and it's implied promise that those without any money are duped into believing that wealth will rub off if they mingle with money

At least that's part of the equation Another is the argument that wealth should not be constrained in a society Rules and regulations be damned And the attract duped followers by the moniker "don't tell me what to do" bravado This is clearly the message Cheeto is sending to his rabid MAGA group of cult followers and to the courts

But the mainstream psychological profile of the average American has not bought into the Nazi koolaid that rules are for suckers and might makes right And protecting the depravity of the wealthy is where even MAGA draws the line

Dollars do not equate to morality and kill the soul of America

I was five years old when Medgar Evers was murdered. I don't remember exactly what my parents said to explain why they were so angry and distraught because of what was reported on the news. I am marking that moment as the beginning of my lifelong awareness of the injustice that exists in the US. It has been a bitter pill but I keep taking the medicine in the hope that before I die an opposite and equal event will happen to even the scales.

Thank you for the excellent message. Being raised in Jim Crow North Florida, the injustice always bothered me despite my family's views. No person should ever be beneath another person. The country has made tremendous strides to achieve a more accepting and equal society, this is not a time to reverse course.
