Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †
Remember all of the media coverage about a bakery refusing to cater a Gay Wedding Cake. The national headlines, lawsuits, 24/7 stories of intolerance etc? Well, as you review this recent story (happened yesterday) think about how tolerance is defined and applied.
A young man in San Francisco went into a local T-Shirt Shop, Bang-On T-Shirts LLC, to purchase a custom Trump Tee. The retail company staff made the shirt, but added a rather inappropriate surprise the customer discovered when he arrived home.
The website Regated has the full story – Including an Interview – which describes the entire incident:

There were three suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia today, only a day after the massive bomb blast in Baghdad, Iraq that killed at least 132 people…

This should really not come as a surprise. UKIP was formed on a singular principle, the “United Kingdom Independence Party” (hence, UKIP).
After achieving Brexit, what most political observers said was “the impossible”, Nigel Farage is leaving UKIP while most certainly ‘on top’.

There are times when people state our optimism in the 2016 presidential election is missing the required amount of caution or concern. However, what many of those voices don’t realize is the research-based reasoning for our outlook.
If you tune out the media noise, look around and pay close attention, you can see the groundwork for an epic landslide everywhere.
The historical playbook of the oppositional left (for sake of expediency Democrats) has always been to carve the larger electorate into smaller, more manageable, sub categories they call “interest groups”. Those groups are then micro-targeted with campaign messaging tailored to their self-interest; and historically they have been successful.

Very salty language, but the points made are insanely accurate.
With the context of the last twelve months of sunlight upon a political process as a backdrop, this George Carlin segment is essentially the USA version of the Brexit argument.
[Transcript] “There’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Ever since they initially came on the political scene, it has always seemed odd that no reporter ever asks: “when was the last time you saw your husband?.
