The mega-church my rock band rehearses at is having mass whole body baptisms in its detention pond next week. This "lake" is well-known by geese and ducks and is surrounded by ag fields, not to mention being the repository for its 3-acre parking lot.

Don't post misinformation again. Thanks.
. Misinformation? As if. Anyone that watches this can see that is clearly edited. The point was DeSantis commentary on the search warrant being executed at Rebekah Jones (the whistleblower regarding his fraudulent covid numbers) house was the perfect commentary to this string on Hannity. Of course it was edited and fake, that was the whole point.Is it like a special day for this or something? Willow Creek in the Chicago burbs was doing this this weekend, too. A FB friend of mine was there.
I hear what you're saying, but then the original post needed more narrative context as to your intent.That was the point and why I was
Moderators gonna moderate, but come on we're all intelligent enough here to spot an obvious fake parody.
The original video is pretty easy to find and is worth watching.
I assume by mid August the water is about as warm as its going to get...
There is a full sized dunk tank I mean baptismal font in the church that is arguably 1000x cleaner.
Alright y'all. You get three tries to baptize your child. One in the name of the father, one in the name of the son and one for the holy ghost.
John Oliver's Last Week Tonight had a good discussion of SROs following the Ulvalde Shooting. I know that there are going to be elements you won't agree with on the segment, but it does offer a good perspective that the benefits of SROs really have been inconsistent, and in some cases can make things worse for the kids in school as discipline has moved from the school and their admin to the police.The part that confuses me is this:
Beefing up security: Madison County to put AR-15s in schools
This year, Madison County Schools will have AR-15 semi-automatic guns locked in safes for student resource officers to use if there’s ever a gunman in a school.wlos.com
My questions are why does the presence of an SRO increase violence in schools, how was it measured, and are kids being arrested for no reason or are there other things going on.
Ugh. You're an effing ray of sunshine this morning.
I hope she doesn't run as an Independent. As an Independent, she will siphon independent voters which will hand the election to the Republicans.
The GOP presidential candidate has won the popular vote only once (2004) during the last 30 years.

I saw that this morning. Definitely an unforced error on Oz's part. I had to laugh at the Lincoln Project tweet "just a man of the people shopping for crudites".Crudités or veggie trays? Mehmet Oz’s grocery store video is roasted.

What does a veggie tray really cost in Pennsylvania?
Mehmet Oz says he was 'exhausted' when he filmed viral 'Wegner's' gaffe, adding it's not a big deal because 'I've gotten my kids' names wrong as well'

Since retweeting Dr. Oz's April crudités video, opponent John Fetterman has raised $500,000 in donations.
I assume they check a box on the election intent forms. Surely that has to be known before all the money starts rolling in.

Still not a fan, but we shall see if this has any actual impact on families. Although I think the policy is pointless, I do like that they are at least trying to do things. I would prefer we spend that money teach people to go into fields that require a college education, or work with companies to stop requiring college educations for jobs that don't need them.
Literally the building construction trades are dying for new recruits and one can make very good money (upper 5 figures) as early as ~20-21 years old.Still not a fan, but we shall see if this has any actual impact on families.

The college is required and the only way to be successful time seems to be waning, thankfully. If this money gets those who were sold a fake bill of goods or who got stuck somehow, great. But we need to do more to not have kids get liberal arts degrees that cost $100,000 of debt, when there are not any jobs that need such degrees. Get a professional degree, get something that provides value to your future employer.
The problem is that kids think they need to go to college to be successful and to make a certain amount of money, which is clearly not true. Social Media influencers have proven that to be untrue
I am still pushing for my kids to go to college, but I hope they understand the cost, the expectation to pay it back, and the responsibility of that action. I don't like the forgiveness for that reason alone. You took the debt, you should pay off that debt. Personally, that is what I did. That is what I would expect my kids to do.
I am happy for those who are impacted positively by this, and hope that it will allow their lives to be better though. I know there are some where this will most certainly make their lives better, even if $10,000 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of the college debt issue.
Yep. And we don't have enough trade schools, because we can't get teachers... I would have loved to see some of that money go there... but again, at least they are trying something, instead of saying, "that won't work". Like with guns...
My hometown CC had similar courses and such.
I would as well. I think that we have also seen the recession-proof-ness (if that is a word) of the trades. We may be laying off software engineers, but we still need plumbers, electricians, and HVAC experts.
A "liberal" education has inestimable value in terms of personal development, but college education has been commoditized and put up for sale as a consumer product. Buyers have been preyed on by the finance industry as conservative states back further away from public funding at the behest of corporate loan sharks. Schools jacked up tuitions at double digit rates year by year.Still not a fan, but we shall see if this has any actual impact on families.

Sad, but ever so true.
Could not agree more with this statement. It's just like the Affordable Care Act. In the end it didn't one GD thing to actually lower health care costs.
I think it is more "responsibility for your actions" argument for me.
The image of an unemployed liberal arts major is a popular cliche, but I wonder how much actual basis in reality it has. I don't think it's that black or white. Anecdotally, I personally have known lots of folks with liberal arts educations that were not only well-rounded but also gainfully employed. In fact, I have never personally encountered anyone matching the liberal arts cliche.
