So does that explain the El Paso party balloon airport drone shutdown? Was that really about the cartel?

Deep Dive Into Evils Of Christian Nationalism

True Detective is a 4 season HBO series starring Matt McConaughey and Woody Harrelson brilliantly portraying 2 cops who become a crime solving pair exposing the dark side of Louisiana culture Written by Vic Pizzolatto the series becomes an exploration of the Southern Gothic(https://bit.ly/4aNjMIC) which was evolved as a literary genre beginning in the 1850’s and deals with the dark side of Christianity as practiced in the South It sheds light on the toxicity of a cult that spans environmental, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life

What makes this series so relevant to the current state of American politics is the correlation with the Republican push for Christian Nationalism as the reigning dogma and its parallels to the Southern Gothic As most know Christian Nationalism has nothing to do with governing and all to do with political populism and authoritarianism and comes from the dark or the toxic side of Christianity complete with the Satanic and Nazi symbology

As Hitler wrote in 1928, “We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.” The Southern Gothic(https://bit.ly/4ayIldj) has clear parallels with Nazism with themes of inequality, racial purity, and fear with scapegoating minorities The present day Christian Nationalist movement supported by the current Republican party depicts the diabolical evil of the Southern Gothic and fascism

There is also on the YouTube channel(you can sign in as a guest) a documentary that is 4h+ long that goes through the history of the Southern Gothic that is excellent called The Mythos of True Detective labeled True Detective S1 - Mythology, Folklore,& The Occult by Novum Can also access with computer https://bit.ly/3Oz6VSN

Although long it describes all the details of how Pizzolato puts together the series including the symbology explanations of the Southern Gothic

Believe Senators Kelly and Slotkin got it right by sitting front & center, forcing him to look at them

It seems he has no bottom. Be defiant. Don’t stop pushing the Epstein class.

Last night, although I didn't see this he went for 1 hour and 48 minutes! The highlights were scarce but he did talk down to the Democrats that were there. Kind of glad I DIDN'T see it.

Susie Wiles walked into the House chamber last night looking like every adult child who's had the car keys talk with dad. You didn't have to watch anything after that.

I'm changing my registration to INDEPENDENT today. I support ALL people's faith and gender. I don't want to fund wars and those who want my taxes and donations that don't want to work to help "others". I plan to encourage my whole family to change as they don't want to be "enemies" when our information is stolen by Peter Thiel and team.

Last night, as planned, television on mute, reading a book. Occasionally glance over to see a spectacle of "synchophatic" behavior, try not to throw up, go back to book. The a-king was over the top. Is it really such a thrill to be in our Congress to see and be seen. Bragging rights? Have we really lost our way to such a degree that we admire this person? At least no one will have to go to the gym this morning. The "bend the kneers" got all the exercise they needed jumping up and down every 30 seconds. Yuck!
