Starting Topics: 1. Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci sat before Congress in a hearing lead by MAGA puppet Marjorie Taylor Greene as she berated and called into question his highly decorated career as one of the nation's leading immunologists. Everything that MAGA is angry with Dr. Fauci about, Donald Trump actually did. Trump's failure to address the Covid outbreak in early 2020 lead to mass deaths, shutdowns, rampant conspiracy theories, and economic catastrophe. Things only changed because we changed presidents. America has one person to blame for Covid's awful effects on our country - Trump. 2. Today marks the 104th anniversary of the 19th Amendment being added to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. Since then, women have continued to rise, reclaiming rights to their finances and health. Still, small angry men like Trump and his MAGA sycophants threaten these freedoms, using the government to launch a full-on attack on womens' rights to make their own decisions about their healthcare. Women earned the right to vote, in November it's time to use it.

Dr. Fauci continues to be disrespected & marginalized by the administration's lack of commitment to science. My painting offers the message to TRUST FAUCI. We can put our faith in science & truth, not lies, smoke screens & snake oil. #TRUSTFAUCI #TRUTHMATTERS #SCIENCEMATTERS

African American brothers and sisters, I lack appropriate words but I am so sorrowful for the unrelenting losses and griefs you are bearing. The endurance, strength, honesty of lament & unwillingness to surrender joy I continually see in you humbles & teaches me. Jesus, be near.

Don’t see a lot of conservative commentators clamoring about how murderer Kyle Rittenhouse is a high school dropout, was possessing military-grade firearms illegally. Can’t imagine why not since they always let us know about slain black men’s history of speeding tickets. Strange!

That we have the power to rally people against people ought to scare the living daylights out of us. Talk about an offense to the Cross. Fellow leaders, we will never lead people against people and also to Christ. Never. Ain’t happening.

I think we spend too much time boycotting what nonbelievers do and not enough time giving them the answer to their problems. There is a place to say what we’re against. But the bottom line is that people are empty. They need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our family started in a trailer park in Odenton Maryland. Some would have called it a shithole. We called it a start.

The kneeling was about police violence and other forms of systemic racism. #NotAboutTheFlag #NotAboutVeterans #EducateYourself

Claims of racial superiority are an assault on God's glory in creation and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Where Did ‘We the People’ Go? Where are our leaders with moral authority? Who are they? When will they stand up? mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/2…

Reminder: The shooter may be a Democrat, that does not make all democrats murderers, just like Spencer does not make all Republicans Nazis.

The right is buffoonish and bullying. The center is earnest and nagging. The left is self-righteous and hectoring. What's a guy to do?

Harry Truman: "The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." @POTUS, you could learn a lot from Truman, who loved history.
