😂 oh dear. Looking forward to living through the biggest snowflake meltdown in the modern era…
I googled TDS to understand its cause, and found only its Sources.
That is funny as ever; “…trigger the greatest mental health crisis in US history.”
Where was this crackpot in the last 4 years?
•Giving up our national security by inviting everyone to cross our boarders. Remember Biden at the beginning of his term?
•Promoting the destruction of adolescent teens through mutilations via transgender reassignment surgeries and puberty blockers.
• Sloppy Afghanistan pull out.
• Bidenomics.
Hey Mark. With “all” due respect, Argo …. yourself.
Having a dementia patient pretending to be the POTUS ***was*** a national health crisis.
Philip-
Having a dementia patient pretending to be president IS a national crisis.
As the American system increasingly relies on the president (and the executive branch answerable to him alone), it becomes more and more crucial for the occupant of that office to be both competent and good.
The worst is just around the corner. Whatever Politboro is pulling the strings of zombies Joe Biden is neither monolithic, nor competent, nor good. I fear the shenanigans and danger of November, December, and January will be without precedent – because we are without A president.
Good point TBO.

Which is why they go on jihads whenever they lose.
I think we need to put fencing around a lot of universities and convert in to mental institutions 🤷🏻♀️ that’s where a lot of this crap stems from
I think any college age children should be specifically told to feel free to come home temporarily if things get stupid.
You may say, surely they know that. However, too often I find that they don’t know the things “they surely know” Especially the good kids. My otherwise sensible offspring have been known to do things (like run a car with no oil) because they didn’t want to “bother” me 🙄

If only it were just leftists.
I have seen far too many supposedly solid Catholics sell their souls, figuratively I hope, for a man how describes himself as “the father of IVF”, who has told us that Bud Light is too important as an American business to be boycotted, who worries that Florida’s abortion restrictions are “too extreme”, and who has made sure that there are now ZERO major parties that at least claim to be pro-life and pro-family in their platforms.
Fortunately, no one here has sold his soul for that party? Right? Right?
San Francisco early 2017, some of the radio stations had shrinks standing by to help listeners calling in who could not cope with Trump winning. It was like a skit from Fraser. Humorous.
Thing is, the left still pretty much gets its way no matter who wins elections nowadays.
Outis,
I think you’re critique comes at least 40 years late. I recall in the 80s when Pope John Paul II would explicitly declare that abortion was evil, then good ole’ Ted Kennedy, Catholic, Democrat, would publicly declare his allegiance to “a woman’s right to choose”. Sadly, most efforts since have not sought to confront abortion, per se. Mostly, they’ve sought to “reduce the need for abortion”. ..Such has typically meant expanding the welfare state and promoting safe sex.
If the Republicans have been quite disappointing, …they have not actively promoted evil. Sad that our bishops have made little effort to provoke Republicans to stand on virtuous principles.
