Ahhhh. Now you’re trying to give Dim Biden credit for the stock market. Our national clown has been admonishing CEOs around the country for making too much money

Imagine how high the stock market would be if Biden wasn’t in the way

Some Tech CEOs were grilled a few days ago on how they were protecting children from the evils of the internet… at least none of them had to shower with Daddy like Perv Biden’s daughter had to endure

“Governor DeSantis, you have spoken out against the “woke “agenda of gender fluidity and also come out against gender-affirming care. So I was hoping you could square your opposition to [gender affirming care] and people choosing their own gender identity with your frequent wearing of lifts and you hoping to choose your own height identity,
Reporter asks Ron DeSantis why he can affirm his height with lifts, but stands against gender-affirming care

We have at least one adult running a state.
Doesn’t change the fact that Willis is a partisan, election denier (2016) hack, and possible racist, going by her unearthed tweet history.

Gun manufacturers continue to flee anti 2A blue states for pro 2A red ones.

-Beretta left Maryland for TN.
-Weatherby left CA for WY
-Mossberg expanded in TX instead of CT.
-Sturm and Ruger, based in CT, opened a factory in NC IN 2014, which they’ve expanded.
-Smith and Wesson closed their CT plant, and moved their HC from Mass to Tenn
etc, etc, etc

Now after 200+ years Remington moving from NY to GA..

Johnson gets religious during House GOP retreat
The speaker contended that when one doesn’t have God in their life, the government or “state” will become their guide, referring back to Bible verses, both people said. They added that the approach fell flat among some in the room.

“I’m not at church,” one of the people said, describing Johnson’s presentation as “horrible.”

“I think what he was trying to do, but failed on the execution of it, was try to bring us together,” that person said. “The sermon was so long he couldn't bring it back to make the point.”

You might be focused on the first definition and forgetting the second ...

Cambridge Dictionary - desiccate
to become damaged or destroyed by losing an important quality; to damage or destroy something in this way:
- The global economy is desiccating by the day.
- He was politically and emotionally desiccated by the scandal.

I believe that's the origin but the meaning evolved. Probably the crops were desiccated by the drought to the crops were desiccated by the invading army.

Can we get back to talking about pontius paxton emperor trumperius' desiccation of Christian principles?

So the state of texas has made Christian compassion illegal and pontius paxton is using the law to persecute Christians. Is he going to crucify them or build a coliseum and feed them to the lions?
