And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go Ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore, for Ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
~Matthew 25:1-13

The wind whispers of fear and hate. The war has killed love. And those that confess to the Angkar are punished, and no one dare ask where they go. Here, only the silent survive. ~Dith Pran, The Killing Fields
I saw this yesterday.
Be afraid, people, be very afraid. (LOL.)
The "Mom's For Liberty" bitches are threatening "Spiritual Warfare" against the rest of us. They're going to get out the "Big Stick" now, and threaten us with God.
Bro, if you want to know why I'm an Agnostic, and why these fucking "Moms for Liberty" are nothing but a bunch of lying and scamming False Prophets...well, there's your answer.
My ex-wife threatened me with God for years, nothing ever happened.
Lest anyone doubt how full of crap these people are here's April Marie, "Mom For Liberty" on vacation with her boobs half hanging out.
She objects to nonexistent "Porn" in classrooms but she clearly has no issues with making a sexual object of herself for the titillation of whatever right-wing "Men" follow her bitch ass on Twitter. Think about that for a second. She sure didn't.
I can remember when conservative women were expected to have at least some degree of ladylike behavior or at least self-respect, and when anything otherwise was a scandal.
Yes, I'm Old.
But then, what's the point of even having one...unless the only reason you wanna have it is an excuse to beat up on other people for no reason worth mentioning and fool the feeble-minded while getting bad-faith actors and evil motherfuckers to come to your own defense?
One of these things is not like the other one.
But that's all the Word is to these fucking people.
An excuse, a rationalization, to do what they want.
All these "Conservatives" could give an absolute shit about the Lord's Word, for the same reason they're abandoning Americanism and Capitalism and every other damn thing they ever claimed to believe in before.
Because it didn't hurt other people enough, and it placed limits on their behavior.
I'd take any claims of "Putting the Bible back in schools" with a Container Ship full of hundreds of thousands of Bags Of Holding stuffed with infinite amounts of Salt.
Thank you very fucking much.
Again, one of these things is not like the other one. Didn't any of these idiots watch The Muppets??
And if you don't think these "Joyful Warrior" motherfuckers will, if things keep going as they are and likely will for the foreseeable future...going to take their Joyful Warrior asses and joyfully side with the enemies of America the very first chance they get...you have another thing coming.
They are already doing exactly this.
They see America as "Sinful" because other people have rights. Because, ya know, the Constitution.
And the same people constantly fearmongering to their Base about the "Communist Chinese" are all too happy to take money and political pointers from Chinese agents and suck up to Vladmir Putin.
Republicans do this in the hopes that when somebody attacks America and they make sure half our defenses are down so they can break off a piece and join the global Authoritarianism, Inc. chain of commands, patronage and vassalage, they'll be able to do enough ass-kissing, bribe-trading, play enough fuck fuck games and suck enough dicks that they'll be able to ensure a nice place for themselves and play all their corrupt political games in peace forever while getting free money and torturing the shit out of any out-groups that can't get out of whatever territory they take over fast enough.
(You'll notice that for all their big talk, these chickenshits don't ever want to actually fight anybody who can and will fight back.)
It doesn't work that way.
In other words they want the Late Middle Ages or the early part of the Age of Exploration, with Putin as some kind of Antichrist "Pope" to give them stuff and they think they'll be Spain under the incestuous Catholic monarchs, rather than, ya know, the Republic of Venice or the Native Americans or something.
And the truth is, they would be bit players, even compared to the American rump-state, because guess what? Washington DC ain't going to actually let anywhere that's important to our resource base or security go. Canada sure wouldn't tolerate a nuclear-armed rogue state in North Dakota. Mexico ain't going to tolerate a banana republic in some chunk of Texas tormenting Latinos.
The list goes on.
They end up with a banana republic in a chunk of south Alabama...except there's no bananas.
The modern Republican Party only wants any kind of change or progress when they think the deck has been completely pre-stacked in their favor...and none of this works that way. And then they'll get mad when whatever's left of America itself, and the rest of the world, continues to progress, survive and eventually to thrive without them.
Shit, these fucking people are still mad as hell that nobody, and I mean nobody, bought their bullshit "Hunter Biden's Laptop" attempt at an "October Surprise" and still want congressional hearings about the subject that...functionally, a majority of America has at least two working brain cells per person.
It's coming up on three years later.
The rest of the world has moved on, Republicans...haven't.
Tommy Tuberville is madder than a wet hen that what he caricatures as the "empty-headed" and "tolerant" Left doesn't just regard Segregationist bullshit, White Nationalism and White Supremacy as "Just another belief system" even though I'm sure if pushed hard enough he'd try to defend Oppression as part of "Southern" "Culture" all day. Hell, Republicans are still mad the "Marketplace of ideas" as they put it, you know, Capitalism, said "No."
Instead, Capitalism said "Hey, wait a minute, Women can work just the same as men" and "Wait? Black people have money too? Sign them all up!!"
All their talk about morals or religiosity was just a lie to try and keep other people from participating in life.
Capitalism, liberal democracy and modernity need both diversity and more people with a share in order to keep functioning at a level that provides returns on investments for wealthy shareholders...yes, including Republicans. Tommy Tuberville is mad that his banana republic has bananas because he doesn't like where the bananas come from or who guards the bananas.
And now that they can't control who gets to play, and do so forever with no one else even getting a say, and everyone else locked into grinding poverty as a societal role, Republicans want none of it.
They'd rather cook their own Golden Goose than see Black people get a slice enough to feed it.
There's nothing "Conservative" about these fucking people and their idea of "Spirituality" is some priest with his back to the congregation speaking a language only the few elites there even understand while going through the motions of religiosity while everyone else is forced to look like they're paying attention. And they don't give a damn if the priest is a pervert or anything, either.
Just in case you wonder how the Catholic Trads and Sedevacantists managed to buttfuck the Southern Baptist Convention, there it is.
I'm here to tell you, as soon as they realize that the majority of the world's Catholics aren't "White Conservatives" like they are or that any given White Supremacist Catholic Trad Incel asshole has a good chance of coming with a surname like Fuentes and liking to "date" Cat-boys...they won't really want that either.
These motherfuckers are trying to bully and kill and manipulate their way into a "Perfect" world.
And the whole point of the Bible was that this world can't be perfected, least of all by Man. You have to believe in something greater than yourself and your own petty hatreds, and actually follow it.
If you're wondering why these fucking people grabbed onto everything from Antivaxxer woo to Falun Gong bullshit to Putinism to Trump...there's your "Why."
Having to believe in anything other than infinite grievance and their own claimed "Superiority" is a dealbreaker for these Republicans too.
And they still expect the rest of us to consider them "Spiritual" and let them bully and bullshit us with religious-sounding talk.
Think about that for a second.
And Don't.
Слава Україна!
Our nation is founded on the principle that we do not have kings. We have presidents. And the Constitution is our compass. When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something. Our children and their children will ask us, ‘What did you do? What did you say?' For some, he concluded, this vote may be hard. But we have a mission and a mandate to be on the right side of history. ~John Lewis

And so tomorrow, as we take the campaign South and West, as we learn that the struggles of the textile workers in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of L.A.; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people, we are one nation. And, together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story, with three words that will ring from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea: Yes, we can. ~Barack Obama
