Dana Bash gives a damning review of her interview with 'evasive' Kamala Harris and Tim Walz:
Dana Bash: "Once you ask once, fine, twice, fine, three times, if you don't get a clear answer, that's kind of your answer."
'Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me' should be the approach of the American people towards the Biden-Harris administration.

This is from the Daily Show this past May where they brutally make fun of Kamala Harris because she is a complete idiot and everyone knows it.
Now contrast this video with the next in this thread from just 3 days ago.

Third highest day ever for renewables in ERCOT on Father's Day w/ 35,476 megawatts of combined wind + solar which was 47% of demand even w/ unusually high weekend load of 75.5GW. Combined w/ nuclear, carbon-free power was >50% & prices were low. #txlege #txenergy #energytwitter

I get that American troops fought and died to defend our freedoms, including freedom of speech (for which we should all be profoundly grateful), but I still think this isn’t what they had in mind.
And I don’t get why anyone wouldn’t be appalled by this.

I have no idea where this video is from. I found it on Reddit, but this explains humanity so well.
This man walks into a Chinese Restaurant for takeout. He immediately begins speaking perfect Chinese, with a perfect accent.
He has a conversation with the staff, who calls him "one of us," and then they proceed to give him his food for free.
This is humanity. Everyone should take a chance to learn about others, identify with others, and empathize with others. We often see more racist people in small towns rather than in large cities. This isn't necessarily their faults.
This is because racism is mostly built on "the unknown" and people tend to fear the unknown. Once you get to know people and befriend people from other races, religions, sexual orientations, gender ideologies, and ethnicities, you have a tendency to better understand where they come from.
This is why learning about other cultures, religions, and even languages is so important. It's why studying history, and sociology are important.
Reach out to someone you don't identify well with and try to learn about them today. It will help humanity tomorrow.

This Easter, we are united in prayer.
For our warriors of light, who repel demons in all directions. For those who follow one more commandment in life: protect Ukraine. For all civilians who work every day to make the country strong and efficient in overcoming evil forces.
For all of our cities and villages, which deserve God's blessing rather than constant evil terror. For all of our lands and people, whose spirit is unbreakable.
Happy Easter to all of you, fellow Ukrainians!
Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed!
