RIVERDALE, NY—31-year-old Darlene Austin has always been an avid supporter of socialism, but she recently had an eye-opening experience.

“At a vegan cafe, I met a guy from Venezuela,” Austin explained. “I asked him about how great it must be to live in a country working to end economic inequality, but then he went into a long diatribe about oppression, poverty, and murder.”

Austin admitted she didn’t listen to much of it since she always knew that socialism would have “a few bumps along the way.” But then the man said something that really concerned her: he asked what the crispy bread slathered with a green substance on her plate was.

“He didn’t even know what avocado toast was!” Austin exclaimed. She asked him about whether they had lots of avocados in Venezuela, but he explained it wasn’t just an issue of the availability of avocados but also not being able to get bread and sometimes not having electricity for a toaster.

Yes. People do eat avocados on toast. And no, I don't know why.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

The problem with satire.......

is that these days, most of it is all too believable.

You can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.

And I call Bullshit on your Bull shit.   But....

May I remind you that the dumb asses walk among us.  Clueless little  Pr*cks that have lost, or never downloaded their bs filter app from the google play store.   Those little twits never learned that you never believe what you read and only half of what you see.

Of course.   But... on the other hand.... we've seen with our own 'experienced' eyes (lol... nice way of saying we're OLDER)....

how things have morphed into the literal 'surreal' world over the past decade or so.  These millenials are so clueless and dumbed down (not to mention, apathetic about the direction this nation is taking)... that it stretches the imagination. 

Surely (Shirley?)...

you can't argue with that!
