Texas GOP Rep: Those Who Think Prayers Don’t Stop Mass Shootings Also “Don’t Believe In An Almighty God”

"When a CNN reporter asked what his response was to people who feel “prayers aren’t cutting it,” the congressman said, “Well, those are people that don’t believe in an almighty god ..."

A little FYI for Keith Self, not believing that prayers alone to be a solution to stopping mass shootings, does not necesarily mean you don't believe in God. And even if some people don't? So what?

It doesn't alter the fact that nothing effectively proactive is being done to create safe gun control and prevent mass death. God provides you with the tools to make the smart choices and you are expecting him to do all the work for you. Not how it works

The evil thought, the evil word and finally the evil deed. 🙏 Prayers? Prayers do nothing, nada, diddly squat. And don’t be fooled Governor Abbott loves this because it involves GUNS and he loves GUNS. But Human beings… not so much. #ThoughtsAndPrayers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9QMjQJkKu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

President Biden Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Israel

A Defiant Stance Against Terror

Statement from President Joe Biden This morning, I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu about the horrific and ongoing attacks in Israel.  The United States unequivocally condemns this appalling assault against Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza, and I made clear to Prime Minister Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel. Terrorism is never justified. Israel has a right to defend itself and its people. The United States warns against any other party hostile to Israel seeking advantage in this situation.  My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering. Jill and I are keeping in our prayers all of the families who have been hurt by this violence. We are heartbroken by the lives that have been tragically cut short and hope for a swift recovery for all those who have been wounded. My team and I are tracking this situation closely, and I will remain in close touch with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Sources: THX News & The White House. Read the full article

1% Need to Shut Their Mouths and Open Their Wallets

To the disgusting 1%-er who wanted to say how he was "there for" minorities and women in debt with thoughts and prayers energy, I said be quiet about your being 1% and open your wallet.

Did he do it?

No.

What did happen is my account was "rate limited" just a few hours later.

THAT'S where pigs like him spend their money when they're told to put their money where their mouth is. THAT'S what a pig does. Acting sweet in public, funding policy like rate limits behind the scenes after they get publicly humiliated for the hypocrisy they engage in.

I'm sick of playing nice fundraiser. These are PIGS.

I love fundraising content as much as the next nonprofit organizer, but these are not your typical normal humans. That content was written for them. This is a whole other creature entirely. A far more characterless, corrupt one.

One capable of true evil.

So don't ask; Where did my account go, where did my account go?

Where did your money go?

Did it go to my Donorbox?

Then there you have it. Entitled, vain, and completely incompetent as to sustaining services financially.

I don't want to hear any more "thoughts and prayers" posts from the 1% again.

Everybody is accountability this and accountability that, until we ask, "So why didn't YOU, SPECIFICALLY donate?" Then, suddenly, all those excuses the "bad guy" was using start to look so good.

I'll tell you why: because the average person who wants something without giving back is a pig. Playing nice doesn't work. This isn't the situation fundraising books were written about. This is a whole different beast.

Open your wallets. I'm sick of doing this dirty work for free for people that aren't worth it because they don't give back.

I will post here on occasion when I feel like it about things I want to write about. No longer out of committed engagement with the public. I hold no obligation financially here and I will no longer accept public input in the form of pathetic attempts to communicate with me covertly without donating a cent. Without doing even the bare morally acceptable minimum while I go through the horrifying without even basic mammalian support.

And because of that, I am no longer making my decision process public. The public is no longer included outside of when I feel inspired to write something.

This isn't hardballing. It's over.

That's how bad the financial abuse is.

If I can be indigent and donate $100 a week in volunteering energy anyway, you can put $5 in my donor box.

But I was shown a true face and I won't forget it. Ever.

You're no longer included, public. You're financially abusive and that's a fact. It is my right to withdraw and I am.

And 1% guy? The guys who brag about being millionaires like the Ryan creep I mentioned yesterday before my account was silenced? There's no nice way to say this. Next time, please just shut up.

Remember, can't pay, won't pay. That's not for the rich. Nor is it for those with degrees that paid them back. I don't have student debt but I'll leave you with that. And for people who do so much for the public with student debt who give them scraps back, they're not worth it. There's no excuse for this.

For the gaslighting?

The student debt situation IS financial assault.

For the "we just don't like you" or "no offense but..." that disguise sexism and racism? it IS arbitrary and capricious and you CAN sue on that and put the case together for the previously mentioned discrimination later.

But for the apathy? The attempts to prostitute women in public service? The all too common narcissists?

We saw their true face.

And the true face of the general public's soul? It's hideous.

But damn do we, however, look good.

"Thoughts and Prayers"

Last night, I attended a vigil for the students of MSU whose lives were taken away from them in a horrific display of violence that is all too common in our society nowadays. I had a bit of a problem with some of the things that were said there though. The phrase "we are Wolverines but we are here for our Spartans" simply did not sit right with me. Of course, we are Wolverines and they are Spartans and, before all of this, we were rivals, however, when this act happened, we became so much more than rivals. These students are our previous classmates, friends, family members, siblings, and people we love. Yes, they are our rivals. However, It was not the time to bring that up. Gun violence within the education system is something that is a uniquely American issue. We decided years ago that the lives of children were less valuable than our right to own guns. I don't like to get political, and I promised myself that I would stray away from that on this platform, however, I feel that it is an issue we simply cannot ignore. We are not safe in our learning institutions and that is a horrible realization that we have had to come to as students in the 21st century especially. Finally, the most important piece of this is the fact that we have become all too enamored with grossly distilling these tragedies into simply the number of students that passed away. "Oh, it was only 3 students at MSU..." The student body there is 50,000, not to mention the parents, extended families, and close friends of the individuals that reach into unimaginable numbers. This was not just an event that affected those three students plus the five in critical condition, it affected likely hundreds of thousands of people. Every time events like this happen, we are adding thousands upon thousands of people to the pool of survivors of gun violence. This is not something that we should have to do on such a frequent basis, however, it is the world that we currently live in.
