What’s going on there with the roads in town and around campus - Clear, icy?
Guy who TikToked POS Joel Osteen was fired from his job.
People asked for him to start a GoFundMe to help him. Instead, he made one to help the homeless.

A neighbor just put up a large black flag on his porch.
I know the signal is they consider themselves in wartime and there will be no mercy for those they see as the enemy. Democrats, BLM, left organizations, liberal churches, schools, vaccine clinics, etc…are their enemies.
NewHendoLib posted a while ago that he was noticing American flags popping up more in his area. I am in that same area and noticed the uptick in my neighborhood. Also confederate flags and now these black flags.
Madison Cawthorn reps our district. Mark Meadows before him. Cawthorn told these people to be armed and dangerous.
I just warned the Unitarian Church what the black flag means that their neighbor is flying. They get vandalized a lot - every time they put up their rainbow flags and other inclusive signs.
This feels different. This is Trump, Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Madison Cawthorn readying the Q Qrazies and far right extremist nutcases for local violence against their own neighbors.

NC Lt.Gov: gays are 'filth'. Jeff Jackson calls for him to resign.

I am calling on our Lt. Governor, Mark Robinson, to resign.
As you can see from this video, this week he angrily referred to the LGBTQ community as "filth."
Then he says, "Yes, I called it filth."
There's no debate here. This is open discrimination. It is completely unacceptable.
This fits a pattern from him.
He's made many openly hateful and discriminatory comments about the LGBTQ community and Jewish people.
When asked about it, he always doubles down.
I serve in the state Senate.
As Lt. Governor, he presides over the state Senate. It's his primary duty.
As a member of that body, I have a responsibility to clearly state that this is not a position that should be held by someone who is plainly and proudly discriminatory.
The NC GOP is *absolutely* clearing a path for him to be their gubernatorial nominee in 2024.
If he runs, he's all but certain to be the Republican nominee. He is immensely popular within his party - and I imagine he still will be, even after this.
The last thing our state needs is open discrimination from someone in high office.
It tells a lot of wonderful people - our friends, family, neighbors - that someone who represents them thinks they're all beneath basic dignity.
No one should find that remotely acceptable.
But the fact that he feels comfortable saying this - confident that not a single elected member of his party will stand up to him, as none have - is why this is about more than just him. There's no shortage of enabling going on here.
Yes, I work hard to stay positive in my campaign.
No, that doesn't mean turning a blind eye to clear violations of basic decency.
You have to call that out - and let people know what happened. That's how we do the work of defending those standards.
And I really can’t stand bullies. That’s all this man is.
When you stand up to bullies, you catch them by surprise. They count on people stepping aside.
That's not going to happen here. Please join me in letting him know.
To our LGBTQ friends who were the targets of this discrimination, you’ve had to put up with this hate for far too long.
This kind of behavior should be part of our past, not our present.
We’re going to prevail over it, again, and move closer to full equality and dignity.
- Sen. Jeff Jackson
PandoraPapers: S.Dakota lawmakers allowed state's use as tax haven for financial elites
https://www.inquisitr.com/6497014/pandora-papers-show-south-dakota-is-a-major-tax-haven…Pandora Papers show that around $360 billion in customer assets are currently held in various trusts based in the state of South Dakota. The figure has allegedly more than quadrupled over the past decade, according to the ICJ, which wrote the following.
"The documents provide details about the movement of hundreds of millions of dollars from offshore havens in the Caribbean and Europe into South Dakota, a sparsely populated American state that has become a major destination for foreign money."
South Dakota Laws
Around $360 billion is being held in South Dakota trusts because lawmakers have approved legislation "championed by insiders in the trust industry."
According to The Washington Post, which participated in the investigation, South Dakota is now comparable to notorious tax havens around the globe.
"South Dakota now rivals notoriously opaque jurisdictions in Europe and the Caribbean in financial secrecy," the outlet noted.
A few other American states, such as Nevada and Florida, appear to be moving in the same direction, according to the documents.
Small action to take to deflate Cawthorn and intercept his game plan
of creating a constant stream of public relations ploys to make himself into the next Donald Trump. He wants his name and face to scream success and power.
This won’t cost you anything - free and easy to do, but, must be done consistently all over social media.
Please ONLY refer to him as Marjorie Taylor Cawthorn.
The lesson nation's legislators should learn from Ida's hit
on New Orleans: Investing in infrastructure works.
The levees held. This should be worked into Dem ads supporting the infrastructure bill.
