Echols said she had “been wanting to be child-free for a very long time” and is planning to get a bilateral salpingectomy with an endometrial ablation—when the lining of the uterus is destroyed. Her doctor approved the procedures earlier this month.
“The next four years will go in the way of the Christian nationalists if what I have seen and heard and experienced is to be believed,” she said. “Anyone who has…taken a look at the social tirade Donald Trump encouraged and employed during his years in the office knows that this is the time to prepare and be prudent for what could yet come.”
“I’d rather be safe than sorry,” she added.
Frankly I think surgery over an election not going your way is much crazier than shouting at a lake but at least these people sterilizing themselves are adults who are of age.

King Randall conducted a social experiment by posting two videos. In one video, he said he would vote for Kamala, and in the other one, he said he would vote for Trump. When Trump supporters who followed him saw the Kamala video, they didn’t cancel him over his beliefs and still pledged to continue supporting his community work. But, when Kamala supporters watched his Trump video, they went bonkers and became hostile towards him. The video went viral & Trump supporters all over the country bought gifts to send to his school. When your people ask what the difference is between the two sides, THIS IS IT.
Apparently Elon Musk noticed it and tweeted about it and the packages and donations to his boys school keep coming.
This King Randell gentleman runs a school for boys that serves the black community in Georgia and teaches these kids useful skills in a place with one of the highest crime rates in the country and he gets results. The stats speak for themselves:
86% improvement in reading comprehension
82% of students proficient in General Contracting
91% improvement in school grades
93% of students proficient in basic auto repair
99.99% of student less likely to be repeat offenders
Think about that last stat, what program that serves kids in trouble has a recidivism rate of .01%?
And yet the Democrat left which made George Floyd a saint and insists they believe black lives matter wanted to cut off donations because of a video of him supporting Trump, and others question if he should accept either cash or items donated by Trump supporters.
I was told that we shouldn’t accept a charitable donation from @AB84 because he supports the Republican Party and @realDonaldTrump. I think both sides should support our work.

Bottom line, the Biblical virtue of charity (love) is all about helping the other
The sin of pride, is all about affirming oneself.
When your religion is Christianity you understand this.
When your religion is politics you don’t
But before you congratulate yourself on your righteousness remember this warning from C.S. Lewis:
He must be made to feel (he’d better not put it into words) “how different we Christians are”; and by “we Christians” he must really, but unknowingly, mean “my set”; and by “my set” he must mean not “The people who, in their charity and humility, have accepted me”’, but “The people with whom I associate by right”
“Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity – greedy, dishonest, adulterous – or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.
But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted
In case you somehow missed it, in 2019, on the night before a polar vortex of bitterly cold temperatures hit Chicago, at 1:00am on the Near North Side, the onetime Empire actor claimed that two men yelling, “This is MAGA country” poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck after his visit to a Subway restaurant.
As soon as I heard about the “attack,” I had my doubts. So did the Chicago Police.
What really happened is that Smollett, who is also a rapper, paid two Nigerian brothers to stage the attack.
A few weeks later, Cook County’s so-called prosecutor, State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, dropped all of the hoax-related charges against Smollett–without an admission of guilt from Smollett. His $10,000 bond was forfeited.
The uproar forced Foxx to appoint a special prosecutor, tough-as-nails former US Attorney Dan Webb, to try the case against Smollett, and a jury here in Cook County found him guilty–he was sentenced to five months in prison. But Smollett served only a few days of that sentence after being released until his appeal played out.
Keep in mind that many CPD man-hours were wasted as cops, under pressure from police brass, no doubt, investigated the “crime” against Smollett.
Tina Tchen. a former top aide to Barack Obama, called Foxx on behalf of Smollett’s family to work out a deal.
Foxx despises the Smollett millstone around her neck, because she believes they diminish her so-called accomplishments in office. She leaves office after eight years of catch-and-release “prosecution” that has made Chicago and its inner suburbs a worse place to live. Foxx sadly, wasn’t voted out, she chose not to run for a third term.
Foxx should be best remembered for enabling of criminals, but since the Smollett case reignited interest in her botched handling of his crimes, something that will haunt her forever.
When Foxx dies and her obituaries are published, the Smollett case will be the lead.
Good.
Kim Foxx sucked as a prosecutor, and because of Smollett, she’ll be remembered as incompetent. And she is–on so many levels.
There is at least some justice in this world.

Sir Thomas More:But Richard, that’s a little bribe. At court they offer you all sorts of things, home, manors, manor houses, coats of arms. Why not be a teacher? You’d be a fine teacher; perhaps a great one.
Richard Rich:If I was, who would know it?
Sir Thomas More:You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that. Oh, and a quiet life.
A Man for all Seasons 1966
This weekend I binge watched Tulsa King (highly recommended) but because my wife didn’t start with me I had to backtrack so she could catch up so in between I popped onto Youtube and there was an election night reaction video of the Bulwark.
Now I had watched reaction videos of all the other networks but these people were supposedly the “true conservatives” who had left the party because of Trump and were now pushing things like abortion and embracing far leftist because that’s what true principled conservatives do if they don’t get the nominee of their choice.
Check out the reactions and the people there and you’d swear they were a parody. It’s as if they never met a normal working class person or left the presence of anyone outside of the beltway who was not of the donor class.
It was especially interesting to see these supposedly expert people scoffing at the idea that people were hurting from inflation and how horrible the electorate is. Oh and I can’t wait to see Jonathan Altar starting hiding illegal immigrants in his attic as he said he would do, we should check back in six months to see if it’s happening. For me the real moment was Mono Charen declaring how America was not special or extraordinary because we elected Donald Trump over a woman who could not win a primary to save her life and whose entry into the political world was made possible by servicing Willie Brown’s willie.
It was the classic SNL 2016 election skit only without Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock there to mock the cluelessness, but what it really was comparable to was watching a group of courtiers in say the 12th to 16th century who spend all their time around the King’s court hoping to curry favor. Go back and watch scenes from the classic movie A Man for all Seasons. You will recognize these folks as the ones rushing on and off the barge after Henry VIII or in the inquiry pressing Sir Thomas Moore to give an answer and you will especially recognize them as Richard Rich whose primary purpose was to gain a position, any position that was above the common people so that the world would recognize their position.
And if some had to give up conservatism that they once supposedly championed for years well that’s a small price to pay for being above the mere commoners.
Now in fairness the Bulwark is a business and their job is to earn, and since they can’t earn on the conservative side they’ll service the left to keep those envelopes coming. Now I can understand that, I don’t approve but I understand and perhaps in an honest moment they might see themselves that way, but I suspect not, that’s the real irony here.
Look at that video. Every single one of them think’s they are Sir Thomas Moore, standing up to the king risking all for the sake of righteousness. Not one of them perceives that they are in fact an Army of Richard Riches all hoping to get Wales for themselves.
