Sox fans still whining: Congrats to the White Sox for winning the division and going to the playoffs in back-to-back years for the first time in team history, which seems almost impossible. Still, people want Rick Hahn, the reigning executive of the year from 2020, and Tony La Russa, who is the second winning manager of all time in the MLB, fired. They may go a lot farther into the playoffs then these people think. True White Sox fans can only hope that they will both be back next year to make it three in a row.
Gone off the deep end: To all you Trumpettes and Trump Republicans, you probably heard that the Arizona recount didn’t go the way you wanted it to and now your egotistical leader Donald got the Texas idiot Abbott to recount the votes in Texas, a state that Trump won. I think you leader has gone off the deep end and will be sliding further off the cliff. Heads up to Trump lawyers filing all his lawsuits, remember that Rudy Giuliani got stiffed by Trump so Trump will probably refuse to pay your fees when he loses. Also Donald, you need to face the truth and reality and quit scamming your Trump Republicans for money.
There’s a difference: It is important to distinguish between man-made gods and the one true God. Man-made gods are idols that pass away, but the one true God has always existed before his creation of the universe, and will continue to exist forever and ever. That is not absurd as you would say.
Mockery unnecessary: I realize some people don’t believe in God, but please don’t mock those of us that do.
Grocery help needed: Grocery prices are sky high. My protein shakes were priced in August at $11.99. I went back in September and the price increased to $14.95. The Democrats are trying to past an infrastructure bill around $3 trillion. I would like to say to them that a household making less than $40,000 a year needs help also with groceries. As much of $100 a month in food stamps would be a help.
Violence has many sources: Video games like “Grand Theft Auto” contribute to influencing young people. So do movies that glorify violence as a solution to conflicts. And some blame goes to parents of these young people for not teaching good morals or work ethics. Employment would keep them busy.
