"This Is Your Life..."
“This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be. Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist. If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?" - Chuck Palahniuk

Gov. Northam, Hillary Clinton, Sen. Byrd, Keith Ellison and Louis Farrakhan—a melting pot of bigotry and racism
After the fiasco the MSM made about Catholic teens wearing MAGA hats (they think that's like a KKK hood) I can see why they kept quiet about the VA governor's yearbook photo showing him in either blackface or a KKK outfit. I mean, after Kavanaugh, isn’t everyone’s college yearbook fair game? I don’t like to be defending Dr. Gov. Northam, who advocates letting a born alive abortion victim die, but I don't care what he did in 1984--he was a college kid. Today he knows better--but abortion is far, far worse and disproportionately affects blacks. In 2010 our Secretary of State, form... more »

"Anyway..."
“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.” - Mother Teresa
