Never heard of this group. I've been trying to find a local group for political activism that isn't specifically Republican. Looking into this one.

Me too. I went to a Trump rally this year and my body still hasn't forgiven me. Don't regret it though.

The in-between world of debilitating chronic health problems where you don't fit in or function as healthy or qualify for official disability status is frustrating.

With the move to indoor hydrofarming, this is becoming less and less true.

But we are nowhere near running out of usable land for growing or ranching. Maybe in the sense that you may not get 100 acres together, but in the farming community I grew up in, it was common to own or lease 2-5 acre plots here and there around the township and tractor to them.

I could see something similar happening on a suburban neighborhood level if we ever got into a land crisis. This would be a great idea as a community co-op. Land lease in return for a share of food grown and any profits. I could grown literally tons of food with little equipment in the front yards of my little street. And that would leave larger land tracts free for feed grains and ranching.

The minute they ban red meat consumption is the day I start eating it again. I'll raise a cow in my attic if I have to.

Notice how they always seek to control and punish the little guy, the consumer, instead of their big business buddies.

That way, even if you raise a cow in your own backyard, even if you convert your car to run only short distances on all solar or clean biofuels you manufacture yourself, they'll still seize what you have and throw you in the gulag.

Because it's about power, not climate change.

Oh there's still a list. They just went underground with it.

I should think IT would lean conservative. Analytical thinkers. And very lucrative in the early days before the market was flooded with cheap, subpar foreign workers.

This guy should get more coverage! Charts are good. His Twitter has some election graphs too.

We should demand reparations as a stigmatized group. Our ability to thrive in a systemically hostile and discriminatory Biden society will demand social justice payments. :P

Fasting is a discipline that too few Christians practice. But it is an important part of acting out the faith. It's not as hard as it sounds and it's rewarding in ways you won't expect.

I'm reminded of Mordecai's words to Esther before she declared a fast of three days and instructed others to join her.

"Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. For if thou alltogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther 4:13-14

The faithful have a duty to God's law to confront evil. Fasting prepares our mentality to submit to God despite our fears of earthly consequences.

"If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." Daniel 3:17-18

Whoa, neat! Thank you for getting the truth out there and official!

Yep. So eager to hate on Trump that they didn't care what their candidate actually wanted to do.

They just deluded themselves into thinking they voted for whatever mental image of Biden they wanted so they didn't have to admit to themselves that they voted with blind hate against Trump.

I'm actually amazed that some people are waking up already. Probably because "winning" wasn't as satsfying as they expected.

Remember the brainwashed banshees 4 years ago screaming about camps for gays and open season on Roe and women and minorities and LGBT?

Don't be like them.

Kingdoms, nations, rulers, and empires come and go. Some are good. Most are break even. Some are bad. Human civilization is resilient and keeps moving forward and improving anyway.

Keep your eyes on the long game and big picture, and events outside of your control will seem less like a personal crisis.

And why would world leaders be so eager for a Biden presidency? Because he can be bought. The entire world knows it.

He only had "access" to sell before. But a corrupt president has a nearly unlimited trove of information, technology, people(in terms of workers and immigration), and world influence to sell.

I think it's pretty funny. Along with the rumours of Cheney in an advisor position and Israel on board with the presumed incomers, Biden voters have many reasons to regret their haste to "dump Trump."

It's like how people are nastier online with anonimity. Some conservatives will only vote right if they're guaranteed privacy. They will go along with the group in everyday life to get along, even if it goes against their supposed beliefs.

It's unfortunate that people don't understand what character and values actually mean.

Voting is literally the very least you can do in the realm of moral duty and civic responsibility. We should all be challenging each other to take more action on our positions and practice boldness.

Over the last week as conservatives dithered on what public action to take, I was reminded of the Bible's comparison to sheep without a shepherd. I don't think there's shame in being a sheep as long as you know and follow the voice of a good shepherd.

Trump is the shepherd of the MAGA movement. Rallies right now are critical.

But this critical void week should make us all take note that local and personal influence structures should be instituted ASAP. Less of this Independent Conservative stuff and more strength in numbers and agreeing to commit to getting actively behind local leadership.

Very few people are consistantly good or consistantly evil, especially in politics.

Take the wins where you can and pray that the rewards of doing right swing politics to our side more often.
