There’s got to be a morning after If we can hold on through the night We have a chance to find the sunshine Let’s keep on lookin’ for the light
Oh, can’t you see the morning after It’s waiting right outside the storm Why don’t we cross the bridge together And find a place that’s safe and warm
It’s not too late, we should be giving Only with love can we climb It’s not too late, not while we’re living Let’s put our hands out in time
There’s got to be a morning after We’re moving closer to the shore I know we’ll be there by tomorrow And we’ll escape the darkness We won’t be searchin’ any more
There’s got to be a morning after (There’s got to be a morning after) There’s got to be a morning after (There’s got to be a morning after) There’s got to be a morning after (There’s got to be a morning after) There’s got to be a morning after (There’s got to be a morning after) There’s got to be a morning after MAUREEN MCGOVERN
The title is very low-key and misleading until the hard a punch this post has. I have to admit, I am jealous I can not write this well and put such emotion with detail into a post. The author is an accomplished writer who can lead a reader down a path and then deliver the real message. Please read and enjoy. Hugs. Scottie

Make sure to watch to the end for a little surprise! “Gym” Jordan, the hard right’s favorite “firebrand,” just got burnt to a crisp, thanks to some moderates with actual spines. This is the same jackass who’s never ONCE passed any legislation, and spends his time scheming on new ways to obstruct, overthrow or at least shut down the government that employs him. UGH. At least we can have some laughs at his expense while the House reconvenes to figure out what the hell to do next. Stay tuned!
Updating a Sister Sledge classic, the current crop of cowards finally tell the truth about their heartless quest for power — at the expense of our democracy. Sing along at the top of your lungs, and don’t forget to vote ’em all out “as ASAP as possible!” Unlike these clowns, we ARE family, so please share this one with all of them… and your friends!
In this episode, @TraeCrowderLiberalRedneck examines how “Southern culture” can be looked down upon and emulated at the same time.
The American South is a complicated place, and we know a lot less about it than we think we do. And many things about the South that seem to make no sense are less confounding in context. The reality is the history of many Southern things has been manipulated, hidden, or just plain ignored. Trae Crowder guides us through the pride points, failures, and contradictions in “Southin’ Off.”
I am not a religious person. I do not believe in the supernatural nor in any deity. I am a confirmed heathen. I enjoy being a heathen and do not hide it. But by My Dogs That Love Gravy, I do appreciate and respect this man, this person Rev. Ed Trevors! I respect him, I support a lot of what he says as is clear in that I repost his videos. I think I could sit in his congregation and hear a sermon of his with no anger or disgust. I could spend a happy pleasant afternoon in chat with him. I wouldn’t believe in his deity or in their holy book, but I do believe in his message of inclusion. It is one I not only support but want to amplify.
I want to make one thing very clear on this site, my Play Time (that some days doesn’t feel much like playing or fun), I am against hate, bigotry, discrimination, and abuse of others. Notice in that list I did not include religion, faith, personal codes of conduct, worship, or any particular deity / religion. When I joined the military I took an oath to support the constitution of the US and its principles, which I still believe in. One of those rights was for people to worship their own gods in ways that did not harm others and government wouldn’t / couldn’t form a preference for any religion over any other, including simply having none.
Notice in the above paragraph I did not include being able to force others to worship and live as you do. I am against that and the hate churches that preach that. I post a lot against them. Just as I don’t insist everyone have same-sex relations just as I do, I fight against heterosexuals who insist others must have the opposite sex relations they do. I support trans rights, but I don’t insist all cis people must be trans, must dress as the gender they don’t identify with. When you break it down into those terms you see clearly what the bigot haters are trying to do, what they want to force the world into, a mold of them, just like them and only them. And they misuse their religion and deity to do this.
Which leads me back to the Rev Ed Trevors. Here is someone that understand his faith is not justification to harm others. His faith is not a weapon to use to hurt those who are different from him. Instead he uses his faith as a guide on how to live his life and treat others. Just as I do with the Christians who come to my Play Time I respect and admire him. Those people are welcome and deserve our respect, and that goes for any faith that comes here with the same ideas of respect. Hugs
I want to thank Randy for finding and sending us this wonderful parody song. It hits on all points. The closed caption is super and so even hearing impaired will enjoy it. Enjoy and think. Please let’s save our democracy, our country, our humanity, and make a better future as the founders tried to do. Hugs
Some of the Founders and Framers of the Constitution did more than turn over in their graves… they actually resurfaced to sing “The Day Democracy Died.” That, plus they “dig those rhythm and blues! Featured are in order of appearance: George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. Massive gratitude to Don McLean for the iconic masterpiece “American Pie.” Respect!
EPISODE SUMMARY Long before Governor Ron DeSantis declared a new war on wokeness, Florida lawmakers in the 1950s and 60s tried going after the NAACP, suspected communists and gay people in Florida schools and universities. The lawmakers upended life for countless numbers of their fellow Floridians before being upended themselves by their own zeal for the cause. Now that DeSantis is bringing this playbook to a presidential campaign, Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson ask what we can learn from the last time Florida went down this path.
