ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. 

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm, and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 12:00 pm, and 3) Monday afternoon also at 12:00 (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary)  (APPROXIMATE) If you click on in the times indicated. you'll see a little circular bloggette in the upper corner indicating "Church Without Walls - live" and today's date.  Click in this area, and with luck, you'll be in!  The correct address will be:

Dump Trump!!!

It's now past 100 days.  And, oh how "wonderful" we all must feel.  Judges are reversing Trump  at breakneck speed. But have no fear.  Trump is ignoring them.  And a certain judge is jailed (with ridiculous trumped-up charges).  Canada, Greenland, and Panama are in Trump's trigger.  We transgender folks are in Trump's trigger also.  And immigrants?  Bye, see ya later (or not!).  Even citizens are not safe.  And the Dow Jones?  Can you sing free fallin'?

But you CAN do something.   Hands Off is a great place to start.  If you want to get to a really adventurous trek, start your own protest!  It doesn't matter if you're from Allentown, Alloway Township, Andover Township,  Avalon or Barnegat Township in New Jersey - or anywhere in the United States - just do it!!!

ezs note:  To the nitwit who carried the "parental rights" placard - when I was young, a man beat the crap out of a 5-year -old child.  His "offense"?  Accidentally wetting his underwear.  Oh, but he knew 'best'.  Riiiiiiiiiight.

ezs note:  Sparta Board of Education - hate to break it to ya, but sometimes the "evil' bigwigs are RIGHT.  By following your dimwitted policy, transgender students will continue to be miserable, and ALL students will sacrifice books, computers, school library materials and more for lawyers' fees.  But oh please, have at it. 😡
