Is it more nothing, something, or bigly things like firing Tillerson, pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal, nuclear war? What's your guess?

If this arc continues eventually all will be good and bad will have disappeared from the face of the earth. Are you looking forward to the day where EVERYTHING no matter what it is, is A -OK?

Never lived up to the expectations of women for whatever reason. The guys? They either accepted me for who I am or ignored me. Period. No kvetching or editorializing or commenting.

I don't know if it is true for any of you other female "outcasts". It is for me! :) less

It amazes me how intellectually nimble people can be with regard to one issue while simultaneously being obtuse with regard to another. The mental gymnastics in which many Evangelicals and Catholics engage in order to convince themselves that they are the real victims of persecution in America are worthy of a gold medal. There is no issue too grim, too new, or too heartbreaking that they will not wholly co-opt for the purposes of convincing themselves that they are, in America, the oppressed minority. Yet they have simultaneously turned off those same cognitive skills with regard to the very real plight of any other group in America because, in their minds, the only persecuted group in America are Christians.
In the recent and horrific racist massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, many Christians began to embrace the narrative that the attack was not race-based but, rather, an ... less
