Love it, Dr Malone. Many have no idea what they are protesting. Just a catchy slogan. I’d love to know how many are actually paid protesters also. When we protested the Vietnam war and the draft back in the 60s, we had a legitimate cause. Most of us knew it would do nothing to stop the war, but we were losing so many of our young boys for no real reason that we could see. This No Kings protest is against something that is not real! There is NO king! If there was, he would not allow protests. There is no common sense on the Left. They are indeed sheep, unable to think for themselves at all. Just following the crowd. Sigh! I just pray for the day to end with no violence. The organizers, however, are hoping for violence. None of them pray! Thanks for your timely post!
That weirdo goth girl saying ' "we are the resistance". & growling. WHAT A FOOL! MAKE HER WORK!! SHE AND ALL THE OTHERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE PROTESTING!..but they're enjoying the camaraderie of other dummies and dummy dem voters IF THEY VOTE.
Oops, I forgot, there is a TV commercial that comes on around here at the time of the local TV weather. Something about a guy Barking at a board meeting... & it was selling insurance. Barking; Growling; (smile, & shake my head)
One has to wonder exactly WHO (other than George Soros) is FUNDING the never ending "protests" (and concomitant violence, destruction (and) looting of private property and businesses) THROUGHOUT the USA?
And WHY hasn't the former immigrant - George Soros - who after SWEARING to Uphold the US Constitution in 1965 and becoming a "naturalized" US citizen, has for over 40 years funded over a hundred "NGO" socialist/communist 'front' organizations , WHY hasn't Soros been stripped of his ill gotten US citizenship - and been DEPORTED?
ILOVE ORBAN! ORBAN IS SMART & LOVES HIS COUNTRY!! JUST LIKE PRES TRUMP LOVES AMERICA!!! TRUMP IS EPIC SMART AND HILARIOUS!!! GREAT PERSONALITY, BELOVED BY WORLD LEADERS
That is an excellent question, and I've been asking it for years! I used to travel for a living, and George Soros has been banned from more countries than anyone else I know of. I can only assume the reason he hasn't been stripped of US Citizenship or banned is that his goals align with the Globalist/Elite agenda. Now our only hope may be that his own son is such a disaster that he may destroy what George built. We can pray they both get what they deserve!
Yes, indeed, Karen, George Soros IS one of (the) "Globalist/Elite" - being that he is a longtime member of the nefarious "COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS."
The "CFR" is a generational "Non-Governmental-Organization" that began in 1921, and is the ONLY "NGO" that I know of which has its members "embedded" in EVERY US federal agency, bureau and department - including the POTUS and SCOTUS! Members are BOTH so-called "Republicans and so-called "Democrats" - who want the USA to become an adjunct of the United Nations. ....Some call it TREASON.
Here’s my take (worthless as it may be). The Trump administration has acknowledged Jesus Christ as King and God as their guide. They are pretty open about this. They have begun to restore law and order, advocated for sexual morality (end transgenderism, abortion, promote family), make peace in the world, restore transparency and openness in government, restore fiscal discipline, insist on personal responsibility and a variety of other measures generally outline in the Bible as the things people of faith should do. The partners of the No Kings liberal left craziness object to one or more of these virtues and see them as an existential threat. However, I can’t explain all the white haired lunacy. Maybe it’s catching. Maybe, as some believe, it is a mental illness side effect of the vaccines - LLL ie Left Leaning Lunacy which has as it’s most telling symptom the inability to see or tell the truth about any situation in spite of the obvious facts. Really, it’s baffling.
The protestors are the baby boomer generation, my generation. I marched in the Vietnam war protests, in the rain in Seattle, when I was 17 and dumb. Soon after that, I became born again and confessed and believed in Jesus Christ as my savior.
I saw it happen, our friends that did not get saved, turned radical, many decided to radicalize colleges, after they bombed the Senate building. I bet not one of these aged, graying boomers know God. Politics is their God.
I think that because our President speaks with authority, he’s is considered an authoritarian, or “king” leading a Republic, not a Monarchy. There is fear that it may be 1939 again (without the Weimar Republic prelude).
The Weimar Republic 1939 did not advocate for peace in the world, did not stop wars or prevent them, did not recognize the right of people (Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies etc) to live. Any fear they have about that is pure psychosis hallucination.
I’m speaking of the Weimar Republic in the sense of the soil that allowed the Third Reich to come to fruition, and its absence today in America, despite the rallies.
I have close family attending this in Phoenix and a niece in DC doing the same. 2/3 of our family is rational, truly peaceful and conservative while this 1/3 is radical, always angry, and ready to pop a cork for no obvious reason.
They don't understand their hypocrisy is astounding given the paradox of the COVID stuff alone.
I don’t know if anyone I’m related to by blood is participating - my son, his lovely bride, his mother aren’t (they’re all watching the hometown football 🏈 ( not ⚽️) team run roughshod over the visitors from various vantages (granted, it took until the 4th quarter to do so, when I finally tuned in). As for those I once shared a nest with, well, I’ve had little to no contact since the moment they lamented the assassin’s bullets that only hit a Trumpian ear and killed an (evil) innocent. Some relationships cannot be salvaged.
As for the "no kings protestors," from what I’ve heard many/most are on the speedway to democrat elected office: no job, no experience, no love of country - nothing but hatred that needs an outlet.
As for those of y’all that protested 60+ years ago: ever wonder what the world would look like today had we applied ourselves and took care of business in SE Asia?
We were forced out of Vietnam by Congress removing funds. Some assess that by then we had begun to get “victory” as we had removed restrictions that kept us from bombing in the North. Who knows? A huge number of Vietnam citizens in the South were killed after we left. Hard lessons.
Two comments: my cousin was Air Force forward control with two tours of duty (now gone). He said he can prove we didn’t fight to win. Second: a friend from Singapore said American withdrawal was the worst thing that ever happened. Millions were immediately slaughtered in Cambodia. And all Southeast Asia expected to be next.
There was a No Kings protest today in our small town in northwest NJ. A Republican area, so they had to bus people from the suburbs of NYC. The crowd had no idea why or what they were protesting. Ridiculous! Don't people have better things to do with their time?
There is a website. HOLD I WILL MAKE ONE MORE POST .. they make no bones about it...: here it is ... Man, if I ran the FBI.. I would be out there taking "FACIAL RECOGNITION" photos..
I think every single conservative should sign up. Take their money and then make a sign that says Christ is King and Trump is my President. 2028. Just imagine thousands of American pro Trump signs at their next rally. Oh God this would be delicious. They are inviting us. Let’s GO!
So now the Public Education Establishment stands buck naked for all to see. The teachers' unions and their co-conspirators, the various public superintendent associations and school board associations all work in harmony to not only indoctrinate children to Nietzschean and Marxist worldviews, they consciously strategize to do end runs around parents. Methinks these folks are dumber than they look, and they look pretty dumb.
TDS is a real thing, look how many there are on the left, they have beat this nonsense in them for so long they can’t even see the truth anymore. Maybe they never knew the truth. Keep up the good work Dr Malone.
These are the very thugs Mamdani, Leticia James, Soros, and the rest of the communists plan on paying to Rise Up against Trump in New York and all the other cities taken over by the communists. It’s what they did in Trumps first term, and I’m told my words will start a civil war. If you believe that I have a bridge I’ll sell you in Brooklyn.
After yesterday's long plane ride back from the EU and then a film crew here at the farm from Epoch Times this afternoon, I didn't have a serious essay in me today.
I find it so heartening to see yourselves, the IMA, Epoch Times, Brownstone, MAHA and others joining together in getting vital information out to us and encouraging us to spread the word. A heartfelt Thank You!
Hey Dr. Malone, Thanks so much for all you do. I take issue, however, with your mention of "atheists" as part of the group of idiots partaking in the No Kings nonsense, because I am one. Yes, there are probably lots of (misguided) atheists in the crowd, but probably lots of (misguided) Christians, Jews, and many other categories that have nothing to do with religion. My political heroes are Reagan, Thatcher, and now Trump, and I'll bet my ideology and opinions overlap about 98% with yours. Judeo-Christian ethics and society have created the best of human existence, but that's because in most areas, Christianity dovetails nicely with the reality of the secular world. It could never have been so successful for so long if that were not the case. However, though I just have no religious belief, I will defend your right to believe as you wish. The problem is this: I think there are a lot of people like me who are turned off by the "extreme" religious people who say the Earth is 6000 years old, the story of Noah's Ark actually happened as written, and so forth. Conversely, Christians may be turned off by people like me because we are "evil" or haven't been saved. In short, two huge groups of people, who share 98% of their life views, are reluctant to work together against the true evil, which is the extreme left, fascists, communists, etc. This is a godsend to the left. The two groups need to respect one another and work together to vanquish the globalists and would-be totalitarians, or else all is lost. I hope you can help make this happen. Thanks for listening.
I've been reading a book you might be interested in. Not trying to convert you... This is not a book pushing religion or any particular form thereof. It's about the existence of a soul that appears to exist apart from our physical bodies/brains. The author is a neurosurgeon who was an atheist most of his life. He believes in God now, but that was due to his own personal experience. Fascinating book, a lot of good, albeit anecdotal, evidence for the existence of a soul. (Kinda hard to get hard evidence of that, innit?) Anyway, check it out:
Thanks. I read a news article about him and found it interesting. Believe me, I've done a lot of reading, and I probably listen to more religious radio (while in the car) than most of the people in the very Christian community in which I live. I'm always interested to learn more about people and their thinking.
Coming late in the day I happened upon your post and the ensuing conversation here. I will second Carole's recommendation; I have read that book myself. To that, let me add. . .
Brought up Roman Catholic I became disenchanted during my 20's and moved over to Lutheran; now, disenchanted with that I only attend services randomly. About 20 years ago, like you I started read a lot more as the kids moved out, and I had more time. I LOVE to read. One of the genre's I picked up on is that of NDE's-- Near Death Experiences. THIS, in fact , is the subject of which Carole pulls the thread. If you are courageous enough in your search for knowledge please don't relent and feed that thirst with investigating NDE's.
You know, Dave, you do not need to believe in "religion".
But, believe this, WE here, humans on earth, physical beings, are two things in one:
a soul and a human body in temporary service to it.
pretty-red, Right on re: the NDE experiences - amazing and beautiful. Re: "soul." Wondering if that word carries baggage for some folks - I notice many of the NDE people use words like "consciousness" or "energy" etc.
Definitions aside, what matters is what's in one's heart.
One of the most reliable NDE is Dannion Brinkley whom I have mentioned many times and consider him a friend. His experience is not uncommon anymore. As someone has said "The veil is thinning". Nothing to do with religion...
"I probably listen to more religious radio (while in the car) than most of the people in the very Christian community in which I live."
I have no trouble believing that at all! I wish more people had such an open mind. Too many of our problems arise from the "my way or the highway" approach.
Must wrap my brain around this-literally. I just happen to be reading the new Dan Brown book, "The Secret of Secrets," (fiction of course but with grounding facts) and it just happens to be based on the same ideas. What I found interesting was how this hypothesis could help explain savants, epileptic seizures and other, to date, unexplained brain 'dis'orders. One reviewer called it "Intellectual Fuel". Perfect.
"Noeticists believed that consciousness was not created by brain processes, but rather was a fundamental aspect of the universe—akin to space, time, or energy—and was not even located inside the body."
I would work with you, I respect your thoughts and convictions and I, for one, don't think you are evil because you are atheist. I was brought up Christian (Presbyterian) and attended church somewhat sporadically up to the point my children were grown. I became less enthusiastic about attending 'church' for various reasons I won't get into here, but I consider myself to be a very spiritual being.
May I ask. What grounds you and how do you have/maintain hope? I'm not trying to be nosy, I am truly interested. Feel free to ignore me.
Thanks for asking. What grounds me is the belief that good and evil can be discerned from the facts of reality as delivered by our senses and integrated by our rational minds. This leads to unshakable commitment to the right to life, liberty, and property for each individual human being. I would say that I am an Ayn Rand-style Objectivist. Her writings allowed me to understand the importance of having a personal philosophy and using it to resolve contradictions in various ideas I was holding. This came when I was nearly 50 years old!! I don’t know all the answers, but I believe that there ARE answers if one cares to research and think enough.
Micheal, Interesting idea...if all sides identified as agnostics, regardless of their actual convictions, then it would surely offer less for everyone to confront.
Thanks for explaining your take on "atheist". I spent some time looking at the definition and the only thing I questioned was "gods" plural. Is there an acknowledgement of "A Supreme Being or Creator or Divine Source or The Force or The Great Spirit?"
Personally, I don't believe that there is anything beyond "the natural world or universe," as opposed to someone who believes in a supernatural realm or being(s). However, I'm not trying to persuade anybody of anything here, just saying that we need to work with all possible allies in order to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and property. By all means, excoriate the leftists, communists, globalists, and fascists because their beliefs and goals lead to ruin. But ALL atheists don't belong with that group, because while many share those beliefs, there are many (like me and a great number of my friends) who want to be allies with Christians, Jews, free enterprisers, libertarians, conservatives, and anyone else fighting to preserve Western society, this last best hope of man on Earth.
My closest friend is an atheist... Or maybe agnostic, I've never really pinned him down on that. (Nor would I try...) But I think his objection to religion is from having too many people claim their particular form of religion, or religious practices, is right, and everybody else is wrong. And having it shoved in his face once too often.
Dave, I appreciate your commentary. I have identified as an atheist only because I don't believe there's anything outside of this life. Well my parents were Catholic, they were not churchgoers and science was the most respected theme in my adolescence. I was pretty old before I realized atheism could be seen as an organized thing and that that word was offensive to many religious people. But I'm not agnostic like some people have suggested. I went to convent school and I understand faith. And I don't have it. But like you said, I truly appreciate the moral structure that comes with a lot of Western faiths. The level of community and belonging that it provides, I believe, keeps many people from falling down a very lonely, dark cavern when life is too much to bear. I've put in place other support structures and built a community that serves this purpose.
Dave, I also found this post from Sunday(today) something that you may appreciate:

HAPPY SUNDAY!!
Life does not seem happy at times—and that’s part of life—but as a nation, we are experiencing turbulent, chaotic, and violent times. We do not know how things will end, but our desire is for America to remain rooted in its Constitution and founding principles, which is unashamedly Christian.
With Antifa, lawlessness, No King rally’s, and overall Marxist/Leftist ideologies banging their drums of war, how then should we respond? Better yet, what is the root of this problem, so we can respond with the right solution?
In the video below, Nate Sala who founded Wise Disciple—responds to a conversation between Stephen Crowder and a student at SMU. Crowder admits with the student, that the root of the problem is the Left’s “godless” ideology. But Crowder’s solution was lacking the true answer to a “godless” society. Nate Sala points out, that the answer to a “godless” society is—God—and his explanation of the root cause, its solution, and how we are to respond, is Scripturally based—not in “religion” but in the person of Christ.
The video is worth the watch on this beautiful day, and it’s my desire that this brings hope to our circumstances, and confidence, that no matter what happens, God is the answer to all of life’s issues.
It is sad that so many people are mentally defective! It is sad that George Soros and his Open Society ever existed! The protestors aren't Progressive...They are Recessive and have no idea what its all about.
Given that we have designated ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it is high time we punish those who we establish have payment/funding ties to them.
That would make Geo Soros and his spoiled son, Alex, terrorists too.
Do whatever is appropriate to those who fund terrorism, the least of which is to kick Alex and his wife, Huma, out of the country and cancel their passports/visas and entry to our country. We should also freeze any assets of theirs that are linked to it - bank accounts, tangible assets, etc.
Another example of why foreign money ought to not be allowed any political participation in these United States. And also no dual citizenship, i.e., geo. soros
Thanks for showing how ridiculous the “No Kings”protest is. I doubt most of them know what they are protesting and are just getting paid for behaving like idiots.
IF PDJT were truly a "king" these useless ignorant tools would be swept off the streets and into cells without formal charges to await court hearings that may or may not happen for years. Does any of that remind us of another administrations behavior at a protest they didn't like? J6 should spring to mind.
These folks aren't afraid to act like a bunch of ungrateful fools because they know that PDJT won't pull an illegal/unconstitutional stunt on them like Biden did to conservatives who dared to voice their opposition to him and his fraudulent election.
Love it, Dr Malone. Many have no idea what they are protesting. Just a catchy slogan. I’d love to know how many are actually paid protesters also.

That weirdo goth girl saying ' "we are the resistance". & growling. WHAT A FOOL! MAKE HER WORK!! SHE AND ALL THE OTHERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE PROTESTING!..but they're enjoying the camaraderie of other dummies and dummy dem voters IF THEY VOTE.
**SHAME ON TEACHERS!!!**
Most of these tools think they are "working". There's not too much doubt they are likely in the employ of Soros or one of his foundations.
These tools think of this as gainful employment.
Yep. WE HAVE A SICK SICK SOCIETY OF NO MORALS TOOLS AND FOOLS!
"TOOLS"??? Don't you mean FOOLS?
Yes tools and fools.
Indeed. Embrace the power of and.
useful idiots for the democrat party of hate and murder and terror
If I were Computer clever I would insert that emoji of the CHESHIRE Cat. tools/fools. ,/ (thumb up)
Was that a girl? I thought it was a boy?
It was one of those new hybrids...I think they call themselves Binary, but I'm probably wrong, because I really don't care...
a goth girl, not a cross dresser. 🤔🤨😊 STUPID STUPID FOOL EITHER WAY!
Oops, I forgot, there is a TV commercial that comes on around here at the time of the local TV weather. Something about a guy Barking at a board meeting... & it was selling insurance. Barking; Growling; (smile, & shake my head)
Do not include all teachers. Some of us actually have brains and use them.
Was that a GIRL? The voice sounded like an adolescent boy. Good Grief! SIGH!
Yes, an adolescent boy on hormones!
One has to wonder exactly WHO (other than George Soros) is FUNDING the never ending "protests" (and concomitant violence, destruction (and) looting of private property and businesses) THROUGHOUT the USA?
And WHY hasn't the former immigrant - George Soros - who after SWEARING to Uphold the US Constitution in 1965 and becoming a "naturalized" US citizen, has for over 40 years funded over a hundred "NGO" socialist/communist 'front' organizations , WHY hasn't Soros been stripped of his ill gotten US citizenship - and been DEPORTED?
He was exiled from Hungary. Orban is smart.
The International Socialist 'movement' aka COMMUNISTS are after Orban, too.
ILOVE ORBAN! ORBAN IS SMART & LOVES HIS COUNTRY!! JUST LIKE PRES TRUMP LOVES AMERICA!!! TRUMP IS EPIC SMART AND HILARIOUS!!! GREAT PERSONALITY, BELOVED BY WORLD LEADERS
That is an excellent question, and I've been asking it for years! I used to travel for a living, and George Soros has been banned from more countries than anyone else I know of.

Well, I am sure they were not protesting being paid $500. for the day.
Exactly!
what city in nw jersey?
There is a website. HOLD I WILL MAKE ONE MORE POST .. they make no bones about it...: here it is ... Man, if I ran the FBI.. I would be out there taking "FACIAL RECOGNITION" photos..

One district even dumb enough to hire an illegal alien with a deportation order and illegal weapons charges…
Surely, they are protesting King Charles III, right?
Geo III for losing maybe?
good one Michael!
:)
Notice that they didn't have a No Queen's day when ER 11 was on the throne.
TDS is a real thing, look how many there are on the left, they have beat this nonsense in them for so long they can’t even see the truth anymore. Maybe they never knew the truth. Keep up the good work Dr Malone.
Excellent summary of the real news. Sense of humor is essential. Thanks.

Nope - I will be back at it tomorrow!

me too Jean, but despite all these wonderful resources, forwarding links to the "unknowing others" is just so damn much a waste of time.
"they". . . will and can NOT see because they have no eyes.
Still, you out did yourself with very little time. Thank you and Jill for the effort.
Stay safe.. and try to get some rest.. I actually used to sleep well when I flew..
Phew. My sarcasm return on investment is secure.

I'm always interested to learn more about people and their thinking.
Coming late in the day I happened upon your post and the ensuing conversation here. I will second Carole's recommendation; I have read that book myself. To that, let me add. . .
Brought up Roman Catholic I became disenchanted during my 20's and moved over to Lutheran; now, disenchanted with that I only attend services randomly. About 20 years ago, like you I started read a lot more as the kids moved out, and I had more time. I LOVE to read. One of the genre's I picked up on is that of NDE's-- Near Death Experiences. THIS, in fact , is the subject of which Carole pulls the thread. If you are courageous enough in your search for knowledge please don't relent and feed that thirst with investigating NDE's.
You know, Dave, you do not need to believe in "religion".
But, believe this, WE here, humans on earth, physical beings, are two things in one:
a soul and a human body in temporary service to it.
pretty-red, Right on re: the NDE experiences - amazing and beautiful. Re: "soul." Wondering if that word carries baggage for some folks - I notice many of the NDE people use words like "consciousness" or "energy" etc.
Definitions aside, what matters is what's in one's heart.
One of the most reliable NDE is Dannion Brinkley whom I have mentioned many times and consider him a friend. His experience is not uncommon anymore. As someone has said "The veil is thinning". Nothing to do with religion...
Dannion Brinkley
hmmm. Will have to check my library. . .?!
thanks DD.
Yep! I have read that. "Saved by the Light".
"I probably listen to more religious radio (while in the car) than most of the people in the very Christian community in which I live."
I have no trouble believing that at all! I wish more people had such an open mind. Too many of our problems arise from the "my way or the highway" approach.
We don’t have to be churchgoers (I’m not) to love the Christ consciousness.
Must wrap my brain around this-literally. I just happen to be reading the new Dan Brown book, "The Secret of Secrets," (fiction of course but with grounding facts) and it just happens to be based on the same ideas. What I found interesting was how this hypothesis could help explain savants, epileptic seizures and other, to date, unexplained brain 'dis'orders. One reviewer called it "Intellectual Fuel". Perfect.
"Noeticists believed that consciousness was not created by brain processes, but rather was a fundamental aspect of the universe—akin to space, time, or energy—and was not even located inside the body."
I would work with you, I respect your thoughts and convictions and I, for one, don't think you are evil because you are atheist. I was brought up Christian (Presbyterian) and attended church somewhat sporadically up to the point my children were grown. I became less enthusiastic about attending 'church' for various reasons I won't get into here, but I consider myself to be a very spiritual being.
May I ask. What grounds you and how do you have/maintain hope? I'm not trying to be nosy, I am truly interested. Feel free to ignore me.
Thanks for asking. What grounds me is the belief that good and evil can be discerned from the facts of reality as delivered by our senses and integrated by our rational minds. This leads to unshakable commitment to the right to life, liberty, and property for each individual human being. I would say that I am an Ayn Rand-style Objectivist. Her writings allowed me to understand the importance of having a personal philosophy and using it to resolve contradictions in various ideas I was holding. This came when I was nearly 50 years old!! I don’t know all the answers, but I believe that there ARE answers if one cares to research and think enough.
Hey Dave, in this context, I'm seeing American Atheists org called out as one of the NK supporters, not an indictment of atheists in general.
Heh, unfortunately there are a lot of atheists that give some of us sensible atheists a bad name.
Ain't that always the case, and for any group. Our mental shorthand, designed to save calories/enhance survival makes us mentally lazy at times.
Why not agnosticism? Less confrontational.
Micheal, Interesting idea...if all sides identified as agnostics, regardless of their actual convictions, then it would surely offer less for everyone to confront.
Thanks for explaining your take on "atheist". I spent some time looking at the definition and the only thing I questioned was "gods" plural. Is there an acknowledgement of "A Supreme Being or Creator or Divine Source or The Force or The Great Spirit?"
Personally, I don't believe that there is anything beyond "the natural world or universe," as opposed to someone who believes in a supernatural realm or being(s). However, I'm not trying to persuade anybody of anything here, just saying that we need to work with all possible allies in order to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and property. By all means, excoriate the leftists, communists, globalists, and fascists because their beliefs and goals lead to ruin. But ALL atheists don't belong with that group, because while many share those beliefs, there are many (like me and a great number of my friends) who want to be allies with Christians, Jews, free enterprisers, libertarians, conservatives, and anyone else fighting to preserve Western society, this last best hope of man on Earth.
My closest friend is an atheist... Or maybe agnostic, I've never really pinned him down on that. (Nor would I try...) But I think his objection to religion is from having too many people claim their particular form of religion, or religious practices, is right, and everybody else is wrong. And having it shoved in his face once too often.
Dave, I appreciate your commentary. I have identified as an atheist only because I don't believe there's anything outside of this life. Well my parents were Catholic, they were not churchgoers and science was the most respected theme in my adolescence. I was pretty old before I realized atheism could be seen as an organized thing and that that word was offensive to many religious people. But I'm not agnostic like some people have suggested. I went to convent school and I understand faith. And I don't have it. But like you said, I truly appreciate the moral structure that comes with a lot of Western faiths. The level of community and belonging that it provides, I believe, keeps many people from falling down a very lonely, dark cavern when life is too much to bear. I've put in place other support structures and built a community that serves this purpose.
Dave, I also found this post from Sunday(today) something that you may appreciate:

HAPPY SUNDAY!!
Life does not seem happy at times—and that’s part of life—but as a nation, we are experiencing turbulent, chaotic, and violent times. We do not know how things will end, but our desire is for America to remain rooted in its Constitution and founding principles, which is unashamedly Christian.
With Antifa, lawlessness, No King rally’s, and overall Marxist/Leftist ideologies banging their drums of war, how then should we respond? Better yet, what is the root of this problem, so we can respond with the right solution?
In the video below, Nate Sala who founded Wise Disciple—responds to a conversation between Stephen Crowder and a student at SMU. Crowder admits with the student, that the root of the problem is the Left’s “godless” ideology. But Crowder’s solution was lacking the true answer to a “godless” society. Nate Sala points out, that the answer to a “godless” society is—God—and his explanation of the root cause, its solution, and how we are to respond, is Scripturally based—not in “religion” but in the person of Christ.
The video is worth the watch on this beautiful day, and it’s my desire that this brings hope to our circumstances, and confidence, that no matter what happens, God is the answer to all of life’s issues.
HAPPY SUNDAY!! 🤗

This is all SAD!
It is sad that so many people are mentally defective! It is sad that George Soros and his Open Society ever existed! The protestors aren't Progressive...They are Recessive and have no idea what its all about.
Given that we have designated ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it is high time we punish those who we establish have payment/funding ties to them.
That would make Geo Soros and his spoiled son, Alex, terrorists too.
Do whatever is appropriate to those who fund terrorism, the least of which is to kick Alex and his wife, Huma, out of the country and cancel their passports/visas and entry to our country. We should also freeze any assets of theirs that are linked to it - bank accounts, tangible assets, etc.
Why do we put up with this?
President Trump said that he would go after Soros and his son Alex...Hope he does it asap...and goes after all their assets, too.
WELL said Barbara.
I believe that pithy statement really captures the situation.
Recessive.
Another example of why foreign money ought to not be allowed any political participation in these United States. And also no dual citizenship, i.e., geo. soros
yes,
I will second that.
Thanks for showing how ridiculous the “No Kings”protest is. I doubt most of them know what they are protesting and are just getting paid for behaving like idiots.
IF PDJT were truly a "king" these useless ignorant tools would be swept off the streets and into cells without formal charges to await court hearings that may or may not happen for years. Does any of that remind us of another administrations behavior at a protest they didn't like? J6 should spring to mind.
These folks aren't afraid to act like a bunch of ungrateful fools because they know that PDJT won't pull an illegal/unconstitutional stunt on them like Biden did to conservatives who dared to voice their opposition to him and his fraudulent election.
I live in the Bay Area. Need I say more? 😂🤣
