Wait - Proverbs says she runs the household (no mucromanagement by the husband; Sarah in Genesis where God told Abraham to do as Sarah says/wants) and runs "outside" business(es) and deals with her own real estate, that SHE owns! I'm amazed by all the rewrites of the bible that Evangelical Christians do.

Given the conservative Evangelical belief system, it makes PERFECT sense that they've responded so intensely to the politicians and others who purvey "great replacement theory". If the world is full of the devil's agents trying to turn "Christians" into worldly, godless pagans (i.e., "replace" them), then it is the easiest, most lateral step to buy into great replacement theory as it relates to race & culture. It makes sense of why whiteness is so central to their "Christianity", and their nationalism, etc...

P.s., I owe that intuition to Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's latest book, "Chain of Ideas". It's an excellent, deep-dive work of historical context for today's "great replacement" movements.

Great interview & info, two of my favorite news people! Did not know the Southern Baptists split from the Baptists because slave owners couldn't be missionaries. Very important point that influences the Southern Baptist philosophy on life. They clearly believe its ok to own & abuse people for financial gain - and protect the abusive men as well. This explains a lot. Although still disappointing.

I have a better story: same area (Occitania, middle age).

During the siege of Toulouse in 1218, an major event took place that changed the course of the Albigensian Crusade. The crusader leader, Simon de Montfort, was struck in the head by a massive stone and killed instantly. According to medieval accounts, this fatal artillery strike was fired from a trebuchet operated by the local women, girls, and ladies of Toulouse.

The death of de Montfort caused panic in the crusader camp and eventually led to the lifting of the siege, significantly shifting the momentum of the Albigensian Crusade in favor of Occitania (southern French now).

Another great left behind story for you is the human eating New World Screw worm Story! One that includes Texas working and (now)?homeboy Trillionaire, Elon Musk. Of all the disasters his DOGE operation foisted on the country, this one may affect him personally! The fly will attack that mosquito bite (or any wound) in your dog or cat, or even your 3 year old!! Wonder how he'll keep them out of his Central Texas home and family "compound"?! They multiply like, well FLIES! oh the Irony! Think he'll be good for a measly few Million dollars to get that FDA eradication program (eliminated by DOGE last year) back on track?

As you were talking about dancing without social media, I remembered Dancing Man. Several years ago, he went viral because he was a bigger guy who was dancing with abandon and was filmed and trolled online. Then Meghan Trainer made it her mission to find him and have him dance onstage with her. We all need to dance like no one is watching.

It's not just being labeled a victim. It's being labeled as asking for it, dressing improperly, being at a questionable place etc.

Wealth transfer of boomers to millennials is propaganda of the oligarchy.
