The biggest political scam in America is convincing Black Americans that questioning Democrats makes you Republican and questioning Republicans makes you Democrat.
Some of us don’t belong to either party. We want RESULTS, not loyalty badges.
Why is that so controversial?

This ad may have given us Blue Mississippi for the first time in decades. Historic

The fact black people are still struggling to grasp that being republican doesn’t automatically make ppl racist or ok with racism is just astonishing to me. It’s proof at least half of the demographic spends zero time actually thinking anything through at all
Jasmine Crockett used to think Republicans were the racists. Then she ran against a Democrat.
She expected Republicans to spend millions on attack ads against her, but admits “their ads were fair.”
What she didn’t expect was that the racist ones “were coming from the super PAC on behalf of [James Talarico].”
The Left always accuses you of what they’re doing themselves.

At least 60 Christians have been killed in attacks in Ethiopia. More than 20 homes have been burned.
The persecution of Christians cannot be ignored, and those responsible must be held accountable. We must stand with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

"Do not store up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. Instead, store for yourselves treasures in the sky, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion.
The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH.
If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history.
We expect more information shortly.

for those confused:
The violence comes from Oromo nationalism mixed with religious extremism. In Wellega, it is an ethnic cleansing that targets ethnic Amharas whatever their faith.
In Arsi, it adds a religious layer that targets Orthodox Christians.

I laugh at how many people still discuss whether the Mavs should trade Kyrie. Why on Earth are people pressed about this? The timeline convos are dumb. We won our first title with a 36-year-old PG.
More than anything, Kyrie should retire as a Maverick.
All eyes on #Ethiopia and @AbiyAhmedAli
It has always been my belief that his final frontier of war and power consolidation will be in his “home base” seizing power by force from the regional lord (Shemeles) — now conveniently on the basis of “protecting local Christians”.
Ethiopia has enough internal problems without adding major religious conflict to the list. Would be awful for country's reputation to have inter-religious fighting compared to Nigeria's historic Muslim herder-on-Christian farmer violence. Stop it!

The factoid that '50% of marriages end in divorce' was kinda true decades ago.
But the divorce rate peaked in 1980.
Now, less than 40% of all marriages since 2000 end in divorce.
For college graduates, it's under 30%.
For college graduates who get married after age 25, and who don't have any kids before marriage, it's under 20%.
Anybody promoting the outdated, deceptive 50% rate has some kind of anti-marriage or anti-natalist agenda.
It scares young people away from getting married and having kids. That is their goal.

Most chewing gum is plastic and rubber. The pack calls it gum base.
Extra reads sorbitol, gum base, glycerol, natural and artificial flavors, then under 2% of sweeteners, soy lecithin, BHT and color. Orbit and Trident read about the same. Gum base is the part you actually chew, and none of the 3 say what it is.
FDA rule for gum base names 46 things a company can use and still print those 2 words. Polyvinyl acetate is on it, and that's the polymer in white glue. So is polyethylene, the same family as a grocery bag, and butyl rubber, which is what inner tubes are made of. Then paraffin, petroleum wax, polyisobutylene, pine rosin esters to soften it, and lanolin, which is the grease out of sheep's wool. Pick any mix and the label reads gum base.
It's why gum doesn't dissolve no matter how long you chew. The sweetener and the flavor wear out in a few minutes and what's left in your mouth is the polymer, which is also why it stays on a sidewalk for years. Gum used to be chicle, a tree sap. Simply Gum and Glee still use it and say so on the pack.
