If he doesn't like it being part of the household and he runs the household, keep the calendar you need in your room if it keeps the peace. If he was just being ornery or careless, forgive him and replace it as you suggest, with a better one.

As a Christian, not sure what you mean when you have a "Christian" calendar. Most Julian calendars likely include 'Christian' holidays along with legal ones, etc. Doesn't make them Christian. I use Jewish calendars when needed.

@persagen Would change "ineffective media" to complicit media. I don't see an ineffective media at work in any way in society, but a force with a highly effective global profit-driven agenda.

Oddly enough, this is my first real exposure to Joe Rogan. He doesn't seem to really bring much of value to the table, but millions of listeners can't be wrong...

The U.S. government is an enormous enterprise. There are plenty of Trump backers still working for the government, only now under the Biden administration. They want and support Trump returning to power.

CNN's Jake Tapper to GOP Speaker Mike Johnson:

“I’m sure that you think that a policy debate would be better than a personality debate, but if President Biden had gone on stage and spoke about the size of a pro golfer’s penis, I think you would be on this show right now saying you were shocked and appalled and you would suggest it was evidence of his cognitive decline,” Tapper said, “Why is he talking about Arnold Palmer’s penis in front of Pennsylvania voters?”

Astute viewers may have come away from last night's VP debate convinced that JD Vance may very well be more of a threat to US democracy than his President Trump.

#debate #vance #trump #walz #harris

JD Vance painted a picture of a Donald Trump that America does not know.

Americans should be troubled with how cool and collected Vance was while the propaganda just rolled off his tongue.

That Vance refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the election is the takeaway from this 'neighborly' debate.
