There is only one King... but I am certain the irony of the "No Kings" protest fails to occur to the lost.

Are you a history buff like me? I realized recently that the one area of history I've never really studied is Military history. In the era of celebrity worship, we NEED more of this, @Fat_Electrician talking about American heroes is awesome. Favorite episodes thus far have been The Fighting Preacher and Francis Marion. youtube.com/@the_fat_electri…

It is interesting to consider whether Britain effectively died in WW1. A huge majority of their noble sons died in the trenches, robbing the aristocracy of their heirs. The social fabric began to decay and thereafter fell apart.

Charlotte NC - Black woman runs over a white jogger, flees the scene and leaves him to die, sentenced to 30 days in jail. Southern Democrats two-tiered justice system is alive and well. They've just changed the color of those who get away with murder.

During his 2012 Republican presidential campaign, Newt Gingrich proposed a "path to legality" for long-term undocumented immigrants using localized "citizen review panels" to determine eligibility. 1. The Role of "Citizen Review Panels" Which would have created local, community-based committees to evaluate undocumented immigrants on a case-by-case basis, where local citizens determined whether an individual had become deeply integrated into the "fabric of the community". 2. Strict Eligibility Requirements The proposal was not intended for all undocumented immigrants. To even be considered by a local council, individuals had to meet steep benchmarks: • Decades of Residency: Gingrich frequently cited a 25-year minimum residency requirement. Anyone who had arrived recently would be subject to immediate deportation. • Community Ties: Applicants had to demonstrate deep roots, such as raising a family, paying taxes, obeying the law, and participating in local institutions like churches or the PTA. • Civic Conditions: Applicants were required to show proficiency in English and buy their own health insurance. 3. Legal Status vs. Citizenship A key element of Gingrich's plan was the distinction between legal residency and citizenship. If a local community board approved an applicant, they would receive legal status to live and work in the U.S. without the fear of deportation, but they would not get a path to citizenship or voting rights. Gingrich framed this as a "humane" middle ground between mass deportation and full amnesty. He got nailed for this, much to our detriment.

Tuesday's election results are a full indictment of the GOP's inability or unwillingness to use power and govern. They are the proverbial Scottish noblemen in Braveheart, and that will never change.

The least appealing of all posts on X are Twitter Beefs. Just stop. Fight it out in the DMs, dirty laundry is classless.

The GOP is like the Carolina Panthers, a bad organization that does not know how to win.

I got three Gen Z men to vote today, by basically being a nagging mother...

Unopposed in NC. 90% of the ballot I just cast was Democrats running unopposed. We need dynamic GOP leadership in NC. They wrote Charlotte off a decade ago. Check out Staci Morrison - Author's video! #TikTok tiktok.com/t/ZPLuxwEkm/

NC GOP - Mecklenburg Voter Guide @goneers and @MargoinWNC - can y'all share?

To all my Gen X folks, read Ecclesiastes 9. It will give you peace about life, wisdom to go into your latter years, and rest for your soul.

Our church was full today, the Spirit was moving, and the songs joyful. I hope you lifted up the Body of Christ, your church, your city, and our nation.

IRS max caps hurt the older middle class staring down the horrifying road of retirement. HSA max should be the average deductible, not $5K short. There should be no max on Roth IRA contributions.

Christians, it's Halloween. There are bigger fish to fry. Please just... "Lighten up, Francis."

My husband tells our cats, who we rescued from a feral clan in a trailer park, that they are African Royal Princess Cats from Madagascar. They have totally bought into the lie.

The time change worked perfectly until they shortened STD Time. It used to run from mid October to the end of April. We've lost 2 months of STD, and that is why and when it became disruptive. It's pitch black at 7am. Your body knows this is wrong.

We have a ritual where Hubby makes me coffee every morning. Today, I asked him to add a bit of chocolate. It was the worst cup of coffee I've ever had. I thought he forgot the sugar, so I added more sugar. Nope. Maybe the new coffee he bought was skunky; it smelled fine. "How much chocolate did you put in this?" He shrugged, "Just a squeeze. Did the heavy cream go bad?" Nope, good until 11/15. I said, "This is horrible." "Well, I'll drink it." Then he took a sip, grimaced, and spit it out. "What the hell?" "Right? Something is off," I said, guzzling water to clear my mouth. "I'll make you a new one." "Okay," I said, rubbing my eyes and yawning. "Just don't add chocolate." He steps into the sitting room holding a container and asked, "This is sugar, right?" My eyes widened. "No, Honey, that's yeast." A new Dad joke is born.
