Not conviction. Common sense. Just because our whiskers are all contained in our heads and not visible on the outside don't mean we ain't got 'em.
All this full-body deodorant age we're in, it's to undercut all the primal signals we need to smell out the sick and the lying. So to speak, more or less, etc.
I don't criticize by demanding precision. Wrestling the nuance out of words is the way we struggle through to a common understanding. When a particular faction in America is constantly degrading and redefining language to suit propaganda needs, it's more than ever urgent to grab words by the throat and make 'em speak truthfully.
Yes, I agree, every step towards sense must be earned. But I will keep arguing with you here. Common sense is not a function of conviction but of instincts. We can be rock-solid in conviction and be dead wrong.
Well, we have to have courage. It's very painful to see something we'd rather not, and then be forced to acknowledge it and act based on a new understanding.
I think it's a matter of realizing you can't live with yourself if you know you have failed to speak up or failed to refuse to do something against your true heart. It's being left with an awful stomachache whichever way you go.
Ryan! Don't we both know the truth? Truth meaning... The system is completely broken and corrupt. The elite have so much money and control, they arw powerful emough to control the definition of "women" in the dictionary. 11 year olds are being given PERMISSION by judges to lop off underdeveloped sex organs. There is no voting our way of of this or sitting and waiting. It's over becuse everyone is and will SIT. Pussies and Trump clones believing the narrative. When and if they/we decide to stand, probably even now, it's WAY TO LATE.
What Trump clones тАЬ believeтАЭ the narrative? If anything, IтАЩd say itтАЩs the people that are looking to prolong status quo with the current political clown show. Unless the last 4 years have been financially rewarding, ( Big Pharma, gov. jobs, alphabet invisible agencies, social service executives in Seattle, Portland, & San Francisco, etc.) a vote for Harris would be 4 more years of agony. And IтАЩm not even talking about her voice, laugh, or sentence structures. ЁЯЩИ How is Trump worse than this?!
I just donтАЩt see it,.. at all. He is no savior but at least he can help get us back to positive economic footing. Socialism with Harris will cement the elites goals & U.N. Agenda 30 mandates much faster.
Trump supporters arenтАЩt ALL pro- vax. They are the same 1/2 of citizens that supported him in 2016 when Hillary thought she won it all. They SEE through the madness & are willing to fight for a better America. It took courage, at least in the blue- blue states, to admit Trump was the best candidate then. It will take courage, for some, again in 2024. Trump KNOWS the corruption in the D.O.J., because he has lived it now since 2016. And the immigration problem wonтАЩt be ignored like the last 4 years.
Biden administration has blamed everything on Trump. ItтАЩs a tired excuse for inaction & purposeful corruption, along with the deep state. ( & evil elites) There are fruit- loops on both sides.
I agree that politics canтАЩt solve most of whatтАЩs happening but either can attacking 1/2 of our nationтАЩs citizens. Among them are past military heroes, fierce spiritual warriors, and loving & protective parents. Trump тАЬ clonesтАЭ, love God, family, & love their country. Sign me up!
If youтАЩre mad that Trump hasnтАЩt apologized about the Covid chaos, his actions while President, etc., I havenтАЩt heard the Biden- Harris acknowledgement of wrong-doing either. And they have been in power during the majority of the mandates, bad hospital protocols, & millions of deaths. Fauci regrets masks & lockdowns? Big deal. He made millions from the NIH, & collaborating with GateтАЩs over the years. Read the тАЬ Real Anthony FauciтАЭ by JFK jr.
Fauci admitting missteps is similar to ZuckerbergтАЩs тАЬ sorry, not sorry,тАЭ apologies recently. ItтАЩs lies, and more lies.
But this fight isnтАЩt over, not by far. America has a history of overcoming & we will. And in the end, God will get the final revenge. Rebuke Satan daily, in JesusтАЩ name, including here on Substack. This spiritual war is real.
Love & pray for your enemies, itтАЩs not easy, but they will hate it. ЁЯШЙ Protect your soul with His word & His love. GodтАЩs not afraid, either am I.

Doing something is better than doing nothing.

Yup. Nailed it. Takes conviction tho....which this country is def lacking these days
Not conviction. Common sense. Just because our whiskers are all contained in our heads and not visible on the outside don't mean we ain't got 'em.
All this full-body deodorant age we're in, it's to undercut all the primal signals we need to smell out the sick and the lying. So to speak, more or less, etc.
Conviction, common sense, and I would add intestinal fortitude.
My temperament has always been "you might crush me in the end but I'm gonna go down fighting."
1000% this, SCA!!
Yes. Just so.
The three legs of personnel sovereignty.
Doesn't matter what's put on the "table" without all 3.
Agree. But try to be nice when someone is giving you a compliment!...:]...
As we used to sometimes say back in my whiteboard days, "we are in violent agreement."
I don't want no compliments. I want extreme precision in language because every word has its own little meaning.
Well like I sad last week:
Good old fashion horsesense is EARNED through the experience of separating hay from horseshit.
That takes conviction. Common sense is neither a birthright or "free".
And realize, please, that not everyone is as articulate and precise with language as you are, including myself.

Well we disagree just a little. You have to have conviction to follow the truth wherever it leads.
Common sense comes from that quest.
But I hear you...and get it.

тАЬThere is no voting our way of of thisтАЭ

Try to vote? We OWE a hell of a lot more than that. And to vote in a system thats been rigged for decades us a fools errand. Everyone is decades late.
