During one of our Christmas season gatherings, one of my nephews mentioned he was taking an art class. He's done brass work and sculpture but never really tried portraits. He was looking for some subjects for class. My wife sent him a picture of our son, who's about his age, and he did a great job. He then asked for a shot of our grand son. This is what we got. It's now been framed and ready to be hung

I'm guilty as well. Might need to update my NY Resolutions.

You obviously don't listen to much AM radio

Haters gonna hate and trolls will always troll

So in other words everyone’s gonna get screwed with useless Medicare Advantage that comes out of their pocket

As @jackjenkins.me and others have pointed out, Jefferson never said any of this: www.monticello.org/research-edu...

A bit more. Merchan spares no punches

Johnson was an assistant coach for the Dolphins 2012-2018 before coming to the Lions in 2019. I'm sure someone would have had an inkling about this guy during that time. Not that they knew he was the offensive genius he seems to be now. It's just a matter of being in the right situation at the right time

Just a note, the roots of the Protestant Church came about because an English King just wanted to divorce one of his wives...

Where's the slander?

Be careful what you wish for.

I grew up in fairly mainline Protestant churches (Presbyterian, Church of the Brethren). The only real difference I saw way back then was baptism. Same basic philosophies to 6-16 year old me. I seem to remember learning that the return of Christ and the rapture were two separate events with several years in between. To me it seemed like the 80s and the growth of evangelicalism and politics in the church. I was in Virginia, so the rise and expansion of the Pat Robinson empire as well as Jerry Falwell's fiefdom seemed to take the church to a major political level and turn it away from what I was taught as a youngster in the 50's and 60s.

Actually, it seems to have been that way since at least 2017..For the former Tea Party and now Trimpublicans

But, I've been told over and over it was a Republican mandate!
