The “sermon”/partisan rhetoric given by Bishop Mari Ann Budde during yesterday’s invocation with President Trump, was not only inappropriate but repulsive as well. Waving the Rainbow flag in all our faces, Bishop Budde is not only a Gay activist, but vocal radical who rejects any and all conservative, traditional beliefs.
Why is it lesbians have risen so prominently in our society? I couldn’t care less about one’s sexuality, but I do find it interesting that many city leaders, fire chiefs, police chiefs and now Bishops are now predominantly overseen by outspoken lesbian activists. What changed in our society, where have our straight male leaders gone? Time for a change, sexuality should have no place in how we worship, fight fires or arrest criminals.
Hello LT what you have boldly stated is more serious and has widespread implications than you can possibly imagine as you state "Why is it lesbians have risen so prominently in our society? I couldn’t care less about one’s sexuality, but I do find it interesting that many city leaders, fire chiefs, police chiefs and now Bishops are now predominantly overseen by outspoken lesbian activists." It is an entirely different matter when LBGT Members "Target"
white males or families where it can be looked at as "Hate Crimes". So, are there any "Hate Crimes" Committed in our lovely little DEI Santa Barbara? They call this TIRBAL WARFARE.
Cute try, Chris. The days of word games and verbal bullying are over. There was no "hate" in anything said here. But you just labeled it as such. That is the word game we no longer play. Twisted semantics vs unvarnished truths. 2024 voters knew which direction they want to go. Hang on, there will finally be honest dialogue ahead. It will be a rough transition after decades of partisan censorship, but truth always outs.
Hey Livingston…..look up the meaning of “hate”. The men who write these columns are full IT and hate. Your columns reek of hatred and smallness and lies. Understandable….you have nt got ONE Ideal to stand on.
Just look at what is happening to our treasured Democracy.
Nancy, our treasured Republic will be celebrating its 250th year. I love knowing President Trump #47 will be presiding over the festivities. A salute to Ben Franklin, yes ma'am we did save it. Save a piece of cake for you? Or crow pie, your call Nancy.
I am correct in referring to the “men” who write in this slanted untruthful blob of words. Almost All of the writers who write this so called articles are males. And you all sound alike, incapable of an intelligent debate. To do that all of you would have to be honest about the facts of the integrity of this felon who managed to convince the uneducated of this country plus all of you greedy people looking to contribute less to the needy of our country. Start there with facts. Dare to examine the felon’s lack of education, his history of not paying HIS share of taxes, his abuse of immigrants, women, his hatred of other ethnic groups, his 3 failed marriages to Immigrants (!)…..that’s just a start of looking at his personal lack of self esteem….the backbone of want-to-be dictators. He is so obviously a bag of wind ( to be kind ), basically devoid of integrity……start there; admit his gross failures as a leader, and THEN…..MAYBE YOUR OTHER IDEAS might be worthy of an intelligent conversation of how we can survive this abomination.
Do any of you ask yourself why there a re so few women in the Republican Congress? And the ones who are are teetering…..devoid of backbone, caught in the trap of not what’s right or wrong, but “ what’s best for me “”.
uh oh Nancy, you were just lecturing us about not making things about 'sex' and here you bash "men", not people, not women, just 'men'. Maybe you could practice what you preach and lead by example. Epic fail on your part dear.
Since you have a need to ask that question, your comment is not worthy of a reply, except this one. Don’t bother responding to the few comments I make here….you have already revealed your wise guy comments are not worthy of my time.
Wow. That’s…harsh. I don’t think she went on a rant—she preached a sermon that included some very real problems and fears. She’s a highly respected bishop in the community. She spoke clearly and respectfully and in accordance with the scriptures. She spoke words to power. What part did you take issue with?
She’s also…not a “dumb dike (spelled wrong). She’s a smart woman who is married to a man.
If you actually listened to Bishop Budde you would have heard her suggesting we all become kinder more merciful humans. THAT is the tradition of this country, with its willingness to help immigrants, to be respectful ( hard to do when reading the junk you mostly men write here). It is a sick little group you have here. No wonder so few others bother to t challenge your unhealthy words.
You reveal your crassness with every dishonest word you write. Go away. You are not worthy of any of my truth and honesty or your cheap shots re my love for men, stemming from two older brothers who were my best friends growing up, AND a long happy marriage. Cheat shots with no background information…..that seems to be the M.O, of this pathetic lies you all string together in this hopeless blob.
No wonder so few others ever try talking reality with you all….hopeless.
Walther, I will digress to an old movie line in “Casa Blanca,” where Claude Rains famously said, “ I’m shocked, shocked to find gambling going on here!”
Conservatives will take back California. The Leftist pendulum has swung too far. Independents are now the state power brokers. Make your best case to the Independents. How will you do this?
As a former Republican who is now an "independent power broker" I will be looking to the fascists (Republicans) to convince me their course is the best hope for my country; and to the socialists (Democrats) to do likewise. It is just too bad the "independents" can't just put these fools into a coliseum and watch them "resolve" their issues...and then afterwards we could bury them.
Henry, et ALL: The decline of clear moral thinking at SBHS started a generation ago. All four of my adult children attended, and all four were subjected to the dyspeptic agenda of hating America, American history, and American exceptionalism. Thankfully, all survived their brainwashing by virtue of deep-seated values conveyed from THE GREATEST GENERATION (our moms & dads who fought, bled, and died in WW2) through this grateful boomer. One key text was employed by the revisionistas--as it was throughout the Peoples Republic of California and other "enlightened" states. Namely, Howard Zinn's "A People's History of The United States." That singular text did more to infect & poison American youth than any other tome, IMHO. Especially in the hands of militant Marxist teachers, in the spirit of Angela Davis, a heroine of the trade craft of anarchy. No wonder the millennial and GenX cohorts are confused, unpatriotic, and without anchor bolts to the grand idea of America. Say what they will about Pres Trump and his bombastic zealotry for all that is good, noble and exceptional about America. He stands for this Republic...an idea whose fragility we barely survived these past 50 yrs, and to which we must all re-cement our hearts.
Zinn definitely was the corrosive K-12 change agent. Is it still required?
We do vote for the state Superintendent of Schools. Past two elections, the teachers union-supported candidates won that position by only a very slim margin ...... and after very long count. Concentrating on that one position, that many do not even think about, is a first step for change.
Let's pay a lot more attention to the down ballot races. And these highly suspicious ..........very long count races were Democrats for some reason, always win.
Mr Robert Ludwick, unfortunately THE GREATEST GENERATION [TGG} and their values were
Destroyed by the newer less moral [or no moral] Generations. It appears you were fortunate to have members of the TGG as I had 10 Family TGG Members who served in WWII. The TGG and their morals are long gone as you said> " ... to infect & poison American youth than any other time, ... " Sadly, I could not agree more.
The Democratic Party that I grew up in and supported as a young man lost its way. For reasons that history will ill judge, the Party was handed over to an ideology that attempted to sell propositions that defied common sense and ignored reality. And when there was the slightest pushback to these propositions, the Party made the critical mistake of trying to censor opposing views in a way that was singularly unAmerican. The Democratic Party will struggle until it decides that (1) it will no longer try to suppress opposing views that try to point out the error of certain policies that defy common sense and (2) it will engage with opposing views on the merits and abandon censorship as a tactic.
Robert, well said. I so believed in what i thought the democratic values were of freedom to self expression (as long as not harmful toothers) and tolerance. I fully believe we are ALL better off when we have mutual respect for one another and strive toward Win-Win solutions. Now that would be progress.
What a great scenario but no time to let down one's guard. As mentioned in the article, there are a lot of gullible people and as shown in one of the comments, they are sorry the Biden Woke era is over and they will never change their minds. It's a wonderful start, though, and gives us a lot of hope.
The “collapse of the (Dem) party,” is way too premature. No, the media has something else in mind. Already, we are seeing sympathetic images by even our local media, families being separated, women and children crying and facing deportation. The pardons of J6 defendants is also being rejected by the media. Never mind Biden turned cop killers free, the focus now is highlighting Trump’s policies on immigration and LBGQT rights and advocacy. Does the media not respect the will of the voters, didn’t we just decide these issues?…of course we did! To suggest we now have clear sailing in terms of a conservative agenda is wishful thinking.
The strategy of the hateful left is simple; promote an anti MAGA narrative in the media and tie up Trump’s agendas with infinite frivolous lawsuits which will be litigated in court for years.
Our work as conservatives is just beginning, now the heavy lifting begins!
All I read on this site is hate!! From conservative Republicans. The election is over. The hatred from Republicans on this site has not abated. I wonder what that says about you. Half the country didn’t vote for him. Can’t we even TRY to be civil and move forward?
Have you watched the news? They are still infected with TDS. They have nothing to report so they report on the stupid. They go after Trump's pardons but fail to bring up Hunter and Biden's entire family. Fauci indirectly is responsible for the deaths of millions and setting our kids back years. They focus on the J6 hostages as Trump puts it, which they were, but never ever brought up all those who burned down the cities, beat and shot cops and looted. No one was arrested and if they were, Harris got them out of jail. I could go on forever. The upside none of it matters anymore. Trump is cleaning house. Yeah!
I stopped watching what is laughingly called “the news” years ago. I get all my news and info from alternative media sources, read best recounts of all sides from direct, on-the-scene reports by actual people directly involved with 1st hand knowledge , and make my own analysis and conclusions.
It’s a brave new world. And the shrill brainwashed voices of children throwing TDS inspired tantrums has 0 effect on me. They are just noise from a bygone era growing fainter and fainter every day. Like the sound a train makes after it passes you and continues on to some destination behind me I could not care less about.
They are defeated. Their ideas and ideology are dust in the wind. Their faint cries are to be ignored and forgotten.
We have work to do. The damage done by these petulant children is significant. All hands on deck for those of us who actually build things and make society work.
Our success will be the best revenge. Nothing else matters. 😊
Elaine, like your fellow tag team members here, you are reading "hate" into what you read. Read with new eyes. You may not like what you read, reject what you read. But you cannot label what is written here through only your own hate-filled eyes.
Your side tried the same thing for decades labeling everything as "racist"; now everything is "hateful". Try something else like: That's interesting. I will need to think more about this.
The defeat belongs to Big Government and Big Brother .. aka the Democrat party. Trump won solidly and across the country. You and I could outvote Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk or Jamie Dimon. or any other combination of two billionaires you care to engender Own that, S.2.
If this includes vastly streamlining government bureaucracy interfaces, I welcome the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
This country, and its vast unaccountable and increasingly expensive government bureaucracy along with the mentality the only solution to everything is to hire more government employees, makes me open to any and all other options.
I look forward to learning what the new OMB Director uncovers as he shifts through the past four years of 100% total lack of Biden accountability for all government operations.
It will make Gavn Newsom look like he was a pencil pushing, green eyeshade accountant watching every penny, which we also sadly know was not true either.
I agree with you about the Democrats, but I will save the "Golden Age of America" until the national debt is erased and becoming homeless is not a realistic fear preying on the minds of so many of us.
i do agree there is a self serving predatory nature to the $400,000 min 'tiny homes' built for 1 unhoused (meth mind melt drug addict). I also think whenever someone uses one label to wrap around a very diverse group of people.... we fall into old trap of judging entire groups on people on actions of some. There are so many more colors than black and white.
What a contrast between the openness of Trump and Biden, the thug-in-hiding. Trump has started off with the nightly, casual fireside chats describing how the Democrats are going to be blown off the map. Trump is now the Triumphant King, the benevolent dictator.
I don't like Dictators of any color! Unfortunately Executive have been widely abused - starting with Obama IMHO. Exec Oders should go back to what they once were for ----- only to be used in dire and fast paced circumstances. Can the genie be put back in the bottle?
How do you define "benevolent", Elaine? Trump has given us back the freedom of speech and thought. And that is just day one. The gifts to this country will continue to flow.
Please do not measure "benevolence" in terms of more indebted tax dollars spent by Democrats to secure more Democrat votes.
Definition for Elaine: A benevolent dictatorship is a government in which an authoritarian leader exercises absolute political power over the state but is perceived to do so with regard for the benefit of the population as a whole.
I clearly recall walking down the hall with the Raytheon Electrical Engineering Department Manager when he somewhat humorously commented to me, "Sometimes you have to be a benevolent dictator." Saying the words "benevolent dictator" with a meaning of authority. Now we have half the country of unhappy Democrats that simply want to act as children because they didn't get the "leader" they thought they would. We who voted for Trump want him to erase the past decades of tearing down the country by the Dems. Honestly, the best way of doing this restructuring is handing it over to a person that understands the problems and let him at it. Let Trump be a benevolent dictator in order to get things done and override the opposition Democrats. Trump knows when to stop at going too far with being overpowering. Let him get done with what we voted him in for.
I would not vote for ANYONE who wants to be a dictator of any stripe. Trump has no intention of doing what is good for the total population. He is not benevolent by any definition.
It's so refreshing to see the left scramble for crumbs trying to justify their continued hate of one man. They still can't let it go. It feels good, to use a cliche, the shoe is on the other foot. He's in charge and there's nothing you can do about. Even smart democrats have seen the light and are jumping on board the Trump Train. It's going to be so fantastic and fun to watch the country regain its health again. So bitch all you want, we're not listening because quite frankly, we can't hear you.
There's a difference between hating someone and not agreeing with them. If you're hired and can't do the job, you get fired. I never hated Biden, it's the people who controlled what he did and used him as a puppet to destroy the country, was the issue.
The Dems may have lined up the Hollywood celeb crowd to promote their vision of America, but I must admit they did not stand a ghost of a chance against the morbidly rich oligarchs who rallied behind Trumputin; a convicted felon who can not own a firearm, but now has his short, fat little fingers on the nuclear codes. How will Trumputin lower the cost of groceries after he deports all the non-citizens who are willing to do the stoop labor required to harvest the greens and the prolonged standing required to cut up the meat? Now that he has pardoned thousands of his myopic "brown shirts" for their participation in his foiled insurrection, expect their ranks to grow ("Stupid is as stupid does" Forrest Gump). It is time for Dems to grow a pair and confront the Reps on their terms, and high time for Dems to begin exercising their own 2nd Amendment right "to keep and bear arms."
So, in the Golden Age, ministers are not allowed to preach unless their message is deemed appropriate. So much for the 1st Amendment. How very patriotic.
The annointed one has done the easy stuff, the feel good about himself stuff. Woke is gone, great and somehow a democracy/republic needs to find a way to include all it's citizens. This version of the party has zero ability to unite and include people who are different. This is no new golden age. What really matters? Well the watergate matra of follow the money springs to mind. I hope I am not alone in an abhorent reaction to the Trump/melania meme coins. WTF is the president doing this for? Transactionle get rich quick schemes.
But there is a larger issue here. The matter of Panama is so utterly irrelevant that the Donald’s preoccupation with it is still another reminder that his good thunder on issues where he feels he has been personally wronged can readily give way to immense blunders on important matters on which he is wholly misinformed or completely misguided.(thank you D Stockman).
Stated differently, the Donald’s day one thunder was superb but his blunder in totally ignoring the big issues—taming the Warfare State, reining in the explosion of Federal spending and debt and throttling the madcap money-printers at the Fed—needs to be corrected real soon.
We don’t have much hope for that, however. At the end of the day Donald Trump is a statist Cesarean who thinks governance is a principle-free transactional “art of the deal” to be performed on a global stage.
It is not. Not in the slightest. What America actually needs is not a bully boy CEO, but a Federal government that sobers up, balances its books, brings the Empire home and gets out of the way.
Then again, we just don’t see the Donald signing up for Jeffersonian quiescence and modesty now that he is back in the Oval Office. He has spent a whole lifetime pursuing the opposite, and is not about to execute a volte-face now.
For the Current to sound the trumpets for the "thunder and blunder" rather than promote real sound monetry behaviour is reckless and ominous of the coming presidency.
IMO the next four year will be a disaster. The slow but inexorable decline of the US will continue. This Trump administration will prove to be a new ochestra on the sinking ship of state that is America, thats all. It is so sad as it does not have to be this way.
I'm happy to see you all stirred up Daniel. If you weren't, then Trump hasn't been doing his job. He's doing a 180-degree reversal of the past. A past which appears to have been comprised of the stupid, high-power political wannabees attempting to generate an importance via indoctrinating total nonsense. We are taking back the country from the "stupid" and handing it back to the "smart." This started when Harris (stupid straw lady) lost to Trump (smart guy).
Dan, Does Trump have the right to earn back the millions of dollars he had to spend defending against partisan Democrat lawfare and for the multiple appeals he still has ahead?
Our biggest problem is not knowing whether the increasingly rabid TDS posters showing up here are defending their own government jobs, or are they sincere ideologues. Makes a big difference.
We do understand protecting one's self interests, and particularly one's self-interests in their own taxpayer funded government job. Privacy does not require anyone to reveal their own self-interests, if this is the case.
But when repetitive arguments become stale, repeated endlessly and make no sense, one does have to keep this possible self-interested government employment consideration in the back of our minds.
Because certainly Trump does represent the biggest threat to the current Big Government status quo. Which is also why he was elected - to neutralize the power of the unionized government employee work force, which has reached critical mass voting power and influence in this country.
This has also become a critical factor why "we can't all get along". We have very divergent interests on this very fundamental issue - making tax dollars and taking tax dollars. Where is the new line going to be drawn between limited government and an endlessly expanding Big Government?
This potential TDS self-interest does become a primary suspicion, in the continued TDS vitriol we are seeing here.
Trump may be many things, but a "statist Cesarean" he is not! Unlike Crook Biden, Trump genuinely cares about the people and finds heavy-handed, dictatorial government approaches abhorrent.
Can’t you stop with the hatred? It doesn’t say anything good about YOU. Can’t you even open your mind to the fact that we are ALL Americans? You don’t intimidate me. I don’t feel humiliated or defeated by the election. I feel totally frustrated by the “you are the enemy” hate speech. This is my home as well as yours. I’d love to know what you think this country stands for. You mentioned that. It would be refreshing to hear about that.
You know Elaine, I have read your posts for quite a while and have not responded because I am not sure if you are putting on the other readers with your insistent, predictable same old, same old usage of "hate speech'" and "meanness" being attributed to them or if you really are that naive in what you consider to be "mean" or hateful". Are you a proponent of keeping the DEI and other Woke programs in American government? If so, then there is really no more that one can possibly say to you to see the ruin that these programs have caused. I know that there are truly some good people out there fighting for justice for who they consider persecuted. Then there are the career "do gooders" who have a feeling of superiority about them and think that the "poor" individual really cannot make it in this world without you helping them because after all, they are not as enlightened as you. Naturally there are the ones who are making careers and lots of money off "the poor" as well. Not sure what category are you in. Not in meanness do I ask this but wonderment of how you perceive the world.
In short…I think the DEI “movement” went way too far. There are ways to help people who need it. I am not in the camp of do-goodeers who feel superior. I think these issues are extremely complicated. The far left has been tone deaf. Perhaps I’m tone deaf as well. Perhaps we all are…to each other.
Please remember the saying, “don’t count your chickens before they hatch’”.
You’re right about the word “woke”. It used to mean enlightenment and being informed, but then the magas and Fox news turned it into something bad. Woke now means “willful ignorance”, which now describes all of the magas, some Republicans and Fox News.
And it seems many Republicans and maga’s are happy that DEI is going away. So it looks like everything will be whitewashed again, yes, that is a metaphor for a sea of white faces.
Wow, that was fast. I was watching the news and it seems all government DEI hires have been put on paid leave until further notice.
It looks like sharpie guy is on a roll. With the extreme weather, everyone across America seems to be fighting. He pulled us out of the Paris climate treaty again. He pulled us out of the World Health Organization. Leaving us in the hands of Robert F Kennedy, Junior, who has no scientific or medicinal knowledge? He is turning various foreign countries and allies against us. It’s like he wants to isolate us so he can be in complete control of America. He has put people in place who will answer only to him and be loyal only to him. Maybe musk slipped with that Nazi salute and gave away sharpie guys plan
After putting the fear about millions of criminal immigrants, he releases 1600 criminals many violent Who committed crimes against the federal government. Full pardons, commuted sentences, early releases. Constantly calling them hostages and patriots, most of these are violent despicable animals. He spoke of betrayal in his inaugural speech. How do you think police officers across the nation feel when the president of law and order makes this kind of move? Betrayed maybe. What kind of message does this send criminals and to the police officers? The criminals will feel free to just keep attacking police officers, that police officers are not to be respected? Sharpie guy is very good at betrayal.
Sharpie guy has started the process of big Pharma being able to raise prices on medications. One of his executive orders was for “ whole government to write a memorandum to bring down inflation”. So, apparently, no plan yet. Well, let’s see how long it takes him to come up with a plan.
He was offended at the bishop who had a last-minute plea for him to be merciful. I don’t think sharpie guy knows what that means. His maga supporters were not happy, they said it was disrespectful and not the place. Yet sharpie guy didn’t give it a second thought that he was being disrespectful to President Biden while making his inaugural speech. When you’re being inaugurated, it seems your speech should be inspiring and uplifting. Instead he gave a disgusting speech belittling President Bidens administration, with President Biden sitting just feet from him. He was disrespectful to President Biden, and to the other previous past presidents, who attended, not by choice, but by duty. Sharpie guy knows nothing about duty. He expects respect when he gives none. President Biden has nothing but courteous and respectful to sharpie guy up until he left town. Every courtesy was extended to him, even when he didn’t even attend President Biden‘s inauguration. He was, and always will be a sore loser will never have that kind of class.
I have a lot more to say, and I will, but I don’t want to be called Eringer, Junior.
You know the beauty of all this, is it doesn't matter what people like you say or believe. It's all white noise. Trump is in charge joined by some of the smartest people and they're going to run the country using common sense. The only one who cares is you and other liberals who still can't accept you lost. More people agree with Trump and company than the woke ideology that just flew to China.
Henry, you've always written like a grumpy angry old man. It's always seemed like my kids when they were 10 ranting about a birthday gift. Rather than bitch after the guy in your team shirt one, why don't you just tell us all the good that is or is going to happen? You seem driven by discontent rather than ideals. If my son was dating a girl like you I'd tell him to run - nothing but bitching and complaining ahead. Trump is joined by some of the smartest and richest people yes. Let's see how that works out for us.
I hope you don't think me relating you to a teen age girl is too much on the DEI road.
Mr. Schulte, I am not sure what you mean by people like me, but I can imagine what you mean. It may be White noise to people like you, because no matter how much proof you get, you magas are deaf and blind when it comes to sharpie guy. You say sharpie guy is surrounded by the smartest people, well, there might be a dozen or so in the bunch, but not much more. As for common sense, even sharpie guy doesn’t have it.
Yes, we’re disappointed our guy didn’t win, just be glad we weren’t sore losers, like sharpie guy, or we would’ve attacked the Capital already. Also, you need to stop using woke, the meaning has changed and you’re dating yourself. It now means,
“willfull ignorance”, being used to describe Republican/magas.

No Nancy, they/them did , that’s why we’re taking down their flag today!
You’re the only one making sexuality an issue.
Did you not recognize how Bishop Budde inserted sexuality into the pulpit scolding?
hi Nance - glad to have ya back! Love your candid rants, as mistaken as they are. You voted for Trumpy, right? :)
um the 'Bishop' did that.
Hello LT what you have boldly stated is more serious and has widespread implications than you can possibly imagine as you state "Why is it lesbians have risen so prominently in our society?

He is so obviously a bag of wind ( to be kind ), basically devoid of integrity……start there; admit his gross failures as a leader, and THEN…..MAYBE YOUR OTHER IDEAS might be worthy of an intelligent conversation of how we can survive this abomination.
Do any of you ask yourself why there a re so few women in the Republican Congress? And the ones who are are teetering…..devoid of backbone, caught in the trap of not what’s right or wrong, but “ what’s best for me “”.
And YOU are calling us men unintelligent?!!!
WOW!
Poster child for liberalism is a mental disorder!
Cheers
yup
uh oh Nancy, you were just lecturing us about not making things about 'sex' and here you bash "men", not people, not women, just 'men'. Maybe you could practice what you preach and lead by example. Epic fail on your part dear.
Nance - what 'democracy' are you referring to? Certainly not Biden, Harris, Schumer and the rest of the Commie-Dems.
Since you have a need to ask that question, your comment is not worthy of a reply, except this one. Don’t bother responding to the few comments I make here….you have already revealed your wise guy comments are not worthy of my time.
Hallelujah Chtis, the Rainbow flag, symbolizing divisiveness and tribalism is now being removed from all federal buildings!
Chtis I suggest to you look alittle closure to home,Santa Barbara for some
LBGT Tribal Warfare all based on HATE CRIMES.
The only words of hate and divisiveness and anger came from the 'Bishop' amigo...
re: Bishop Budde's politcal rant on trumps victory day. What lousy taste and bad timing - dumb dike.
Wow. That’s…harsh. I don’t think she went on a rant—she preached a sermon that included some very real problems and fears. She’s a highly respected bishop in the community. She spoke clearly and respectfully and in accordance with the scriptures. She spoke words to power. What part did you take issue with?
She’s also…not a “dumb dike (spelled wrong). She’s a smart woman who is married to a man.
Satan lives in the heart of every non believer.
That’s why.
If you actually listened to Bishop Budde you would have heard her suggesting we all become kinder more merciful humans. THAT is the tradition of this country, with its willingness to help immigrants, to be respectful ( hard to do when reading the junk you mostly men write here). It is a sick little group you have here. No wonder so few others bother to t challenge your unhealthy words.
Nance, you seem to have the same personality disorder as the Bishop ie, rude, arrogant and hater of men! Daddy issues, toxic masculinity got you down?
BTW, watching the stock market (I know it’s a guy thing), Trump is smashing it! You think that would ever happen with that knucklehead Biden?
You reveal your crassness with every dishonest word you write. Go away. You are not worthy of any of my truth and honesty or your cheap shots re my love for men, stemming from two older brothers who were my best friends growing up, AND a long happy marriage. Cheat shots with no background information…..that seems to be the M.O, of this pathetic lies you all string together in this hopeless blob.
No wonder so few others ever try talking reality with you all….hopeless.
Get a life and a clue Freeman.
How did Trump’s Executive Order resending the order that brought down Medicare prescription prices, including insulin, help Americans?
IDK, Geno how? Maybe everybody and their brother, sister, auntie and baby daddy shouldn’t be on Ozempic!
What does Oxempic have to with my question about the benefits of rescinding Medicare prescription drug prices?

Round up the usual suspects! Back in the Day they knew how to deal with
Traitors .................
Now we NEED A SERIOUS REPUBLICAN candidate to run for governor of California...Kamala is already planning her ascendance to that office.
Conservatives need to take back California.
Conservatives will take back California. The Leftist pendulum has swung too far. Independents are now the state power brokers. Make your best case to the Independents. How will you do this?
As a former Republican who is now an "independent power broker" I will be looking to the fascists (Republicans) to convince me their course is the best hope for my country; and to the socialists (Democrats) to do likewise. It is just too bad the "independents" can't just put these fools into a coliseum and watch them "resolve" their issues...and then afterwards we could bury them.
SS, why not stop funding them? Has one side earned your tax dollars? Would another side do a better job earning them?
HELLO JL! Takes are not "earned" by the guvment, they are TAKEN.
I'm all in for Steve Hilton for Gov. Anybody want to join me?
Henry, et ALL: The decline of clear moral thinking at SBHS started a generation ago. All four of my adult children attended, and all four were subjected to the dyspeptic agenda of hating America, American history, and American exceptionalism. Thankfully, all survived their brainwashing by virtue of deep-seated values conveyed from THE GREATEST GENERATION (our moms & dads who fought, bled, and died in WW2) through this grateful boomer. One key text was employed by the revisionistas--as it was throughout the Peoples Republic of California and other "enlightened" states. Namely, Howard Zinn's "A People's History of The United States." That singular text did more to infect & poison American youth than any other tome, IMHO. Especially in the hands of militant Marxist teachers, in the spirit of Angela Davis, a heroine of the trade craft of anarchy. No wonder the millennial and GenX cohorts are confused, unpatriotic, and without anchor bolts to the grand idea of America. Say what they will about Pres Trump and his bombastic zealotry for all that is good, noble and exceptional about America. He stands for this Republic...an idea whose fragility we barely survived these past 50 yrs, and to which we must all re-cement our hearts.
Zinn definitely was the corrosive K-12 change agent. Is it still required?
We do vote for the state Superintendent of Schools. Past two elections, the teachers union-supported candidates won that position by only a very slim margin ...... and after very long count. Concentrating on that one position, that many do not even think about, is a first step for change.
Let's pay a lot more attention to the down ballot races. And these highly suspicious ..........very long count races were Democrats for some reason, always win.
Mr Robert Ludwick, unfortunately THE GREATEST GENERATION [TGG} and their values were
Destroyed by the newer less moral [or no moral] Generations. It appears you were fortunate to have members of the TGG as I had 10 Family TGG Members who served in WWII. The TGG and their morals are long gone as you said> " ... to infect & poison American youth than any other time, ... " Sadly, I could not agree more.
The Democratic Party that I grew up in and supported as a young man lost its way. For reasons that history will ill judge, the Party was handed over to an ideology that attempted to sell propositions that defied common sense and ignored reality. And when there was the slightest pushback to these propositions, the Party made the critical mistake of trying to censor opposing views in a way that was singularly unAmerican. The Democratic Party will struggle until it decides that (1) it will no longer try to suppress opposing views that try to point out the error of certain policies that defy common sense and (2) it will engage with opposing views on the merits and abandon censorship as a tactic.
Robert, well said. I so believed in what i thought the democratic values were of freedom to self expression (as long as not harmful toothers) and tolerance. I fully believe we are ALL better off when we have mutual respect for one another and strive toward Win-Win solutions. Now that would be progress.
What a great scenario but no time to let down one's guard. As mentioned in the article, there are a lot of gullible people and as shown in one of the comments, they are sorry the Biden Woke era is over and they will never change their minds. It's a wonderful start, though, and gives us a lot of hope.
The “collapse of the (Dem) party,” is way too premature. No, the media has something else in mind. Already, we are seeing sympathetic images by even our local media, families being separated, women and children crying and facing deportation. The pardons of J6 defendants is also being rejected by the media. Never mind Biden turned cop killers free, the focus now is highlighting Trump’s policies on immigration and LBGQT rights and advocacy. Does the media not respect the will of the voters, didn’t we just decide these issues?…of course we did! To suggest we now have clear sailing in terms of a conservative agenda is wishful thinking.
The strategy of the hateful left is simple; promote an anti MAGA narrative in the media and tie up Trump’s agendas with infinite frivolous lawsuits which will be litigated in court for years.
Our work as conservatives is just beginning, now the heavy lifting begins!
All I read on this site is hate!! From conservative Republicans. The election is over. The hatred from Republicans on this site has not abated. I wonder what that says about you. Half the country didn’t vote for him. Can’t we even TRY to be civil and move forward?
It’s not hate or reprisal. People want JUSTICE.
“No one is above the law”. You Dems swore by this.
But now you Dems say let bygones be forgotten and for those of us who have been hurt to move on without the perpetrators being brought to justice????
Not right. The perpetrators will do it again if justice is not served.
Biden’s pardons are all a spit in the face of lady liberty and our Constitution
It is JUSTICE WE DEMAND
Ranger - I don't just demand justice for all the crimes Biden and the rest of the Commie-Dems committed against Trump and America - I want _payback_!
Have you watched the news? They are still infected with TDS. They have nothing to report so they report on the stupid. They go after Trump's pardons but fail to bring up Hunter and Biden's entire family. Fauci indirectly is responsible for the deaths of millions and setting our kids back years. They focus on the J6 hostages as Trump puts it, which they were, but never ever brought up all those who burned down the cities, beat and shot cops and looted. No one was arrested and if they were, Harris got them out of jail. I could go on forever. The upside none of it matters anymore. Trump is cleaning house. Yeah!
“Have you watched the news?”
I stopped watching what is laughingly called “the news” years ago. I get all my news and info from alternative media sources, read best recounts of all sides from direct, on-the-scene reports by actual people directly involved with 1st hand knowledge , and make my own analysis and conclusions.
It’s a brave new world. And the shrill brainwashed voices of children throwing TDS inspired tantrums has 0 effect on me. They are just noise from a bygone era growing fainter and fainter every day. Like the sound a train makes after it passes you and continues on to some destination behind me I could not care less about.
They are defeated. Their ideas and ideology are dust in the wind. Their faint cries are to be ignored and forgotten.
We have work to do. The damage done by these petulant children is significant. All hands on deck for those of us who actually build things and make society work.
Our success will be the best revenge. Nothing else matters. 😊
Hypocrisy continues to rankle. But this too could be a subversive tactic by the left - Games People Play: you and him fight. (Eric Berne)
Elaine, like your fellow tag team members here, you are reading "hate" into what you read. Read with new eyes. You may not like what you read, reject what you read. But you cannot label what is written here through only your own hate-filled eyes.
Your side tried the same thing for decades labeling everything as "racist"; now everything is "hateful". Try something else like: That's interesting. I will need to think more about this.
The defeat belongs to Big Government and Big Brother .. aka the Democrat party. Trump won solidly and across the country. You and I could outvote Jeff Bezos, or Elon Musk or Jamie Dimon. or any other combination of two billionaires you care to engender Own that, S.2.
If this includes vastly streamlining government bureaucracy interfaces, I welcome the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
This country, and its vast unaccountable and increasingly expensive government bureaucracy along with the mentality the only solution to everything is to hire more government employees, makes me open to any and all other options.
I look forward to learning what the new OMB Director uncovers as he shifts through the past four years of 100% total lack of Biden accountability for all government operations.
It will make Gavn Newsom look like he was a pencil pushing, green eyeshade accountant watching every penny, which we also sadly know was not true either.
Promise not to let "the media" define who we are.
I agree with you about the Democrats, but I will save the "Golden Age of America" until the national debt is erased and becoming homeless is not a realistic fear preying on the minds of so many of us.
Is homelessness crisis a realistic fear or a life choice?
It's a bunch of things. From crazy to lazy.
i do agree there is a self serving predatory nature to the $400,000 min 'tiny homes' built for 1 unhoused (meth mind melt drug addict). I also think whenever someone uses one label to wrap around a very diverse group of people.... we fall into old trap of judging entire groups on people on actions of some. There are so many more colors than black and white.
True.
What a contrast between the openness of Trump and Biden, the thug-in-hiding. Trump has started off with the nightly, casual fireside chats describing how the Democrats are going to be blown off the map. Trump is now the Triumphant King, the benevolent dictator.
I don't like Dictators of any color! Unfortunately Executive have been widely abused - starting with Obama IMHO. Exec Oders should go back to what they once were for ----- only to be used in dire and fast paced circumstances. Can the genie be put back in the bottle?
Benevolent?? Good Lord. How can you say that. I can accept that you want a dictator but benevolent he is NOT!
How do you define "benevolent", Elaine? Trump has given us back the freedom of speech and thought. And that is just day one. The gifts to this country will continue to flow.
Please do not measure "benevolence" in terms of more indebted tax dollars spent by Democrats to secure more Democrat votes.
Definition for Elaine: A benevolent dictatorship is a government in which an authoritarian leader exercises absolute political power over the state but is perceived to do so with regard for the benefit of the population as a whole.
I clearly recall walking down the hall with the Raytheon Electrical Engineering Department Manager when he somewhat humorously commented to me, "Sometimes you have to be a benevolent dictator." Saying the words "benevolent dictator" with a meaning of authority. Now we have half the country of unhappy Democrats that simply want to act as children because they didn't get the "leader" they thought they would. We who voted for Trump want him to erase the past decades of tearing down the country by the Dems. Honestly, the best way of doing this restructuring is handing it over to a person that understands the problems and let him at it. Let Trump be a benevolent dictator in order to get things done and override the opposition Democrats. Trump knows when to stop at going too far with being overpowering. Let him get done with what we voted him in for.
I would not vote for ANYONE who wants to be a dictator of any stripe. Trump has no intention of doing what is good for the total population. He is not benevolent by any definition.
I’ll keep it simple, you are so wrong!
We shall see. I hope I AM wrong but honestly, I’m not counting on it. He’s already gutting Veteran benefits. It’s shameful.
"Democrats are going to be blown off the map. . ." Now we're talkin' !
It's so refreshing to see the left scramble for crumbs trying to justify their continued hate of one man. They still can't let it go. It feels good, to use a cliche, the shoe is on the other foot. He's in charge and there's nothing you can do about. Even smart democrats have seen the light and are jumping on board the Trump Train. It's going to be so fantastic and fun to watch the country regain its health again. So bitch all you want, we're not listening because quite frankly, we can't hear you.
"They still can't let it go"
Just like your hate of Biden
There's a difference between hating someone and not agreeing with them. If you're hired and can't do the job, you get fired. I never hated Biden, it's the people who controlled what he did and used him as a puppet to destroy the country, was the issue.
The Dems may have lined up the Hollywood celeb crowd to promote their vision of America, but I must admit they did not stand a ghost of a chance against the morbidly rich oligarchs who rallied behind Trumputin; a convicted felon who can not own a firearm, but now has his short, fat little fingers on the nuclear codes. How will Trumputin lower the cost of groceries after he deports all the non-citizens who are willing to do the stoop labor required to harvest the greens and the prolonged standing required to cut up the meat? Now that he has pardoned thousands of his myopic "brown shirts" for their participation in his foiled insurrection, expect their ranks to grow ("Stupid is as stupid does" Forrest Gump). It is time for Dems to grow a pair and confront the Reps on their terms, and high time for Dems to begin exercising their own 2nd Amendment right "to keep and bear arms."
It’s so great to see all my thoughts laid out so thoroughly. Thank you, Henry. Keep up the great work.
So, in the Golden Age, ministers are not allowed to preach unless their message is deemed appropriate. So much for the 1st Amendment. How very patriotic.
What utter charlie romeo alpha papa.
The annointed one has done the easy stuff, the feel good about himself stuff. Woke is gone, great and somehow a democracy/republic needs to find a way to include all it's citizens. This version of the party has zero ability to unite and include people who are different. This is no new golden age. What really matters? Well the watergate matra of follow the money springs to mind. I hope I am not alone in an abhorent reaction to the Trump/melania meme coins. WTF is the president doing this for? Transactionle get rich quick schemes.
But there is a larger issue here. The matter of Panama is so utterly irrelevant that the Donald’s preoccupation with it is still another reminder that his good thunder on issues where he feels he has been personally wronged can readily give way to immense blunders on important matters on which he is wholly misinformed or completely misguided.(thank you D Stockman).
Stated differently, the Donald’s day one thunder was superb but his blunder in totally ignoring the big issues—taming the Warfare State, reining in the explosion of Federal spending and debt and throttling the madcap money-printers at the Fed—needs to be corrected real soon.
We don’t have much hope for that, however. At the end of the day Donald Trump is a statist Cesarean who thinks governance is a principle-free transactional “art of the deal” to be performed on a global stage.
It is not. Not in the slightest. What America actually needs is not a bully boy CEO, but a Federal government that sobers up, balances its books, brings the Empire home and gets out of the way.
Then again, we just don’t see the Donald signing up for Jeffersonian quiescence and modesty now that he is back in the Oval Office. He has spent a whole lifetime pursuing the opposite, and is not about to execute a volte-face now.
For the Current to sound the trumpets for the "thunder and blunder" rather than promote real sound monetry behaviour is reckless and ominous of the coming presidency.
IMO the next four year will be a disaster. The slow but inexorable decline of the US will continue. This Trump administration will prove to be a new ochestra on the sinking ship of state that is America, thats all. It is so sad as it does not have to be this way.
I'm happy to see you all stirred up Daniel. If you weren't, then Trump hasn't been doing his job. He's doing a 180-degree reversal of the past. A past which appears to have been comprised of the stupid, high-power political wannabees attempting to generate an importance via indoctrinating total nonsense. We are taking back the country from the "stupid" and handing it back to the "smart." This started when Harris (stupid straw lady) lost to Trump (smart guy).
Dan, Does Trump have the right to earn back the millions of dollars he had to spend defending against partisan Democrat lawfare and for the multiple appeals he still has ahead?
Our biggest problem is not knowing whether the increasingly rabid TDS posters showing up here are defending their own government jobs, or are they sincere ideologues. Makes a big difference.
We do understand protecting one's self interests, and particularly one's self-interests in their own taxpayer funded government job. Privacy does not require anyone to reveal their own self-interests, if this is the case.
But when repetitive arguments become stale, repeated endlessly and make no sense, one does have to keep this possible self-interested government employment consideration in the back of our minds.
Because certainly Trump does represent the biggest threat to the current Big Government status quo. Which is also why he was elected - to neutralize the power of the unionized government employee work force, which has reached critical mass voting power and influence in this country.
This has also become a critical factor why "we can't all get along". We have very divergent interests on this very fundamental issue - making tax dollars and taking tax dollars. Where is the new line going to be drawn between limited government and an endlessly expanding Big Government?
This potential TDS self-interest does become a primary suspicion, in the continued TDS vitriol we are seeing here.
Trump may be many things, but a "statist Cesarean" he is not! Unlike Crook Biden, Trump genuinely cares about the people and finds heavy-handed, dictatorial government approaches abhorrent.
Can’t you stop with the hatred? It doesn’t say anything good about YOU. Can’t you even open your mind to the fact that we are ALL Americans? You don’t intimidate me. I don’t feel humiliated or defeated by the election. I feel totally frustrated by the “you are the enemy” hate speech. This is my home as well as yours. I’d love to know what you think this country stands for. You mentioned that. It would be refreshing to hear about that.
You know Elaine, I have read your posts for quite a while and have not responded because I am not sure if you are putting on the other readers with your insistent, predictable same old, same old usage of "hate speech'" and "meanness" being attributed to them or if you really are that naive in what you consider to be "mean" or hateful". Are you a proponent of keeping the DEI and other Woke programs in American government? If so, then there is really no more that one can possibly say to you to see the ruin that these programs have caused. I know that there are truly some good people out there fighting for justice for who they consider persecuted. Then there are the career "do gooders" who have a feeling of superiority about them and think that the "poor" individual really cannot make it in this world without you helping them because after all, they are not as enlightened as you. Naturally there are the ones who are making careers and lots of money off "the poor" as well. Not sure what category are you in. Not in meanness do I ask this but wonderment of how you perceive the world.
In short…I think the DEI “movement” went way too far. There are ways to help people who need it. I am not in the camp of do-goodeers who feel superior. I think these issues are extremely complicated. The far left has been tone deaf. Perhaps I’m tone deaf as well. Perhaps we all are…to each other.
I appreciate your honesty in that answer.
Stop your own "hate speech", Elaine.
Mr. Schulte,
Please remember the saying, “don’t count your chickens before they hatch’”.
You’re right about the word “woke”. It used to mean enlightenment and being informed, but then the magas and Fox news turned it into something bad. Woke now means “willful ignorance”, which now describes all of the magas, some Republicans and Fox News.
And it seems many Republicans and maga’s are happy that DEI is going away. So it looks like everything will be whitewashed again, yes, that is a metaphor for a sea of white faces.
Wow, that was fast. I was watching the news and it seems all government DEI hires have been put on paid leave until further notice.
It looks like sharpie guy is on a roll. With the extreme weather, everyone across America seems to be fighting. He pulled us out of the Paris climate treaty again. He pulled us out of the World Health Organization. Leaving us in the hands of Robert F Kennedy, Junior, who has no scientific or medicinal knowledge? He is turning various foreign countries and allies against us. It’s like he wants to isolate us so he can be in complete control of America. He has put people in place who will answer only to him and be loyal only to him. Maybe musk slipped with that Nazi salute and gave away sharpie guys plan
After putting the fear about millions of criminal immigrants, he releases 1600 criminals many violent Who committed crimes against the federal government. Full pardons, commuted sentences, early releases. Constantly calling them hostages and patriots, most of these are violent despicable animals. He spoke of betrayal in his inaugural speech. How do you think police officers across the nation feel when the president of law and order makes this kind of move? Betrayed maybe. What kind of message does this send criminals and to the police officers? The criminals will feel free to just keep attacking police officers, that police officers are not to be respected? Sharpie guy is very good at betrayal.
Sharpie guy has started the process of big Pharma being able to raise prices on medications. One of his executive orders was for “ whole government to write a memorandum to bring down inflation”. So, apparently, no plan yet. Well, let’s see how long it takes him to come up with a plan.
He was offended at the bishop who had a last-minute plea for him to be merciful. I don’t think sharpie guy knows what that means. His maga supporters were not happy, they said it was disrespectful and not the place. Yet sharpie guy didn’t give it a second thought that he was being disrespectful to President Biden while making his inaugural speech. When you’re being inaugurated, it seems your speech should be inspiring and uplifting. Instead he gave a disgusting speech belittling President Bidens administration, with President Biden sitting just feet from him. He was disrespectful to President Biden, and to the other previous past presidents, who attended, not by choice, but by duty. Sharpie guy knows nothing about duty. He expects respect when he gives none. President Biden has nothing but courteous and respectful to sharpie guy up until he left town. Every courtesy was extended to him, even when he didn’t even attend President Biden‘s inauguration. He was, and always will be a sore loser will never have that kind of class.
I have a lot more to say, and I will, but I don’t want to be called Eringer, Junior.
You know the beauty of all this, is it doesn't matter what people like you say or believe. It's all white noise. Trump is in charge joined by some of the smartest people and they're going to run the country using common sense. The only one who cares is you and other liberals who still can't accept you lost. More people agree with Trump and company than the woke ideology that just flew to China.
Henry, you've always written like a grumpy angry old man. It's always seemed like my kids when they were 10 ranting about a birthday gift. Rather than bitch after the guy in your team shirt one, why don't you just tell us all the good that is or is going to happen? You seem driven by discontent rather than ideals. If my son was dating a girl like you I'd tell him to run - nothing but bitching and complaining ahead. Trump is joined by some of the smartest and richest people yes. Let's see how that works out for us.
I hope you don't think me relating you to a teen age girl is too much on the DEI road.
Mr. Schulte, I am not sure what you mean by people like me, but I can imagine what you mean. It may be White noise to people like you, because no matter how much proof you get, you magas are deaf and blind when it comes to sharpie guy. You say sharpie guy is surrounded by the smartest people, well, there might be a dozen or so in the bunch, but not much more. As for common sense, even sharpie guy doesn’t have it.
Yes, we’re disappointed our guy didn’t win, just be glad we weren’t sore losers, like sharpie guy, or we would’ve attacked the Capital already. Also, you need to stop using woke, the meaning has changed and you’re dating yourself. It now means,
“willfull ignorance”, being used to describe Republican/magas.
According to Jerry Roberts, prize winning journalist, the FELON started his term telling 3 Whopper lies:
1. The Felon did not get a mandate, as he lies
2. The economy he’s inheriting IS superb, about which he lies
3. MAGA ( or MAGA-HA-HA-HA ) will not make America Great,
Just another intelligent person’s ( Roberts’ ) intelligent assessment of reality,
