  • When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    “I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

    “We believe in this country, you work hard, you play by the rules. You should be able to live an affordable life, a comfortable life, in fact, to live the good life, and that means a good paying job and good housing, good health care, good education for your children, and when it’s all said and done, a good retirement,” he added.

    Saying “hey they might have cared a bit about institutions compared to maga” is not venerating.

    venerate /vĕn′ə-rāt″/

    To regard with deep respect or reverence. synonym: revere. Similar: revere

    Not the same meaning at all. Not even close.

    So no you didn’t find 96 people that fit that description.

    When you mingle meanings like that, I’m just gonna leave it at that.








  • I think it’s a generational thing. After WW2 and the Holocaust there was support for a Jewish homeland. And of course you couldn’t be seen as antisemitic. So the silent generation supported Israel, and the boomers still impacted by post WW2 inherited that mentality. But the next generation is questioning why exactly.

    In addition I think the Christians see it as a crusade, whether they use that word or not, and hide it behind all sorts of reasons.






  • I remember seeing a video of an Indian couple berating a black woman because she was black. I read into that that they think they’re adjacent to white (I hate using those terms).

    Anyway from the article

    “Christian voices should be the main voice of America. And I want to know basically why you seem to be, and I don’t mean to be horribly offensive, but why you seem to be masquerading as a Christian?” one woman in the crowd asked. The young man who followed her was even more direct. “If you are an Indian, a Hindu, coming from a different culture, different religion, than those who founded this country—those who grew this country, built this country, made this country the beautiful thing that it is today—what are you conserving? You are bringing change,” he said. The man went on to ask Ramaswamy how he could represent Ohioans, when 64 percent of them are Christian.
