This is fine.

The following article, Less Than 50 Days Until Life In America Changes Forever, And Our Nation Is Primed For Massive Civil Unrest, was first published on Conservative Firing Line. Years of extremely inflammatory rhetoric from the mainstream media and from many of our leaders have brought us to the brink of a societal nightmare.  The numbers that I am about to share with you are horrifying, but it is so important for us to understand what is ahead of us.  In an article that I … Continue reading Less Than 50 Days Until Life In America Changes Forever, And Our Nation Is Primed For Massive Civil Unrest ...

They were playing the "Anti-Semitic" game back then the evil bastards and they continue to do it to this day.

JOHNSON: ‘WE RAN THE RIGHT PLAY’: The vote by House Republicans to reject Rep. Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) hybrid six-month temporary funding measure, that included a proof-of-citizenship voting requirement has sent the speaker, who has a penchant for football analogies, back to the drawing board. “We came a little bit short of the goal line, so now we go back to the playbook. We’ll draw it up. We’re already hearing good ideas from our members, and we’ve got time to fix this, and we’ll get it done,”...

House Republicans have shifted gears as they race to avoid a government shutdown, eyeing a three-month stopgap spending bill — in lieu of a six-month extension — while dropping their demand for tougher voting rules as part of the package.  Top appropriators have already launched bipartisan talks in both chambers, and senior lawmakers said they expect the continuing resolution (CR) will extend 2024 funding into December while excluding the more stringent voter-eligibility rules demanded...

On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that it would be “politically beyond stupid” for Republicans in the House to send the nation careening toward a government shutdown just one month before a national election. One day later, House Republicans seemed to treat this as a dare. They went beyond—by a big margin. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson finally got a continuing resolution to the floor on Wednesday evening to keep the government funded beyond the end of...

Every parent knows the woe of kids leaving their dirty clothes lying around. When I was a kid, my dad would see my pile of clothes on the bathroom after I took a shower and cry, "Oh no! Annie melted!" I thought that was a clever alternative to yelling at me to pick up my stuff, but it doesn't hold a candle to the way a Washington state mom handled a dirty sock left behind by her daughter.Xep Campbell shared how her and her 10-year-old daughter Kestrel's creative one-upsmanship escalated on Facebook, and people are loving it."On the evening of Thanksgiving when I went to bed I noticed one of Kestrel's socks on the bathroom floor," Campbell wrote. "I decided not to toss it in the hamper but instead see how long it would stay there, sort of a sociological experiment. Today, a week later, it remained, so I decided it must be intentional and deserved recognition as such. I made this little label hoping it would motivate her to pick it up. Oh no." Xep Campbell/FacebookThe label reads like a sign at an art installation—"The Forgotten Sock, Mixed Media, Nov 25, 2020. On loan from the collection of the artist." Xep Campbell/Facebook"She sent me a text message asking if I had done it.," Campbell wrote. Xep Campbell/Facebook"When I got home she said 'I made a pedestal for it!' She gamed my shame." Xep Campbell/FacebookGame on."I figured as long as it was on display, it deserved an audience so the barnyard animals arrived," wrote Campbell. "They find it very fascinating." Xep Campbell/Facebook Xep Campbell/FacebookThat alone would have been enough to draw a chuckle from anyone. But it didn't end there. You know those "mysterious" metal monoliths that have been making the news? Xep Campbell/FacebookOh yes, she did. Xep Campbell/FacebookAnd it just kept going. "I came back from walking the dog and this had appeared," Campbell wrote. More art for the animals to enjoy. Xep Campbell/FacebookAnd then? This happened. "It's a miracle!!!" Likely the only nativity scene of its kind, ever. Xep Campbell/FacebookAnd it kept growing. "They heard about the party." Oh. My. Goodness. Xep Campbell/Facebook"I should point out this is a *very small* bathroom," Campbell added. "I asked when the sock might go away. She said 'how long do art exhibits usually last?' Xep Campbell/FacebookThe creative escalation of the abandoned sock story has delighted tens of thousands as the post has gone viral. Campbell tells Upworthy that she tries to live life in a way that results in a net positive gain for herself and anyone she comes in contact with—a philosophy that clearly extends to her relationship with her daughter. "I always try to take the creative route whenever possible," she says. "There is a lot of beige in the world that needs to be countered. There are also endless possibilities to be creative with even the most mundane aspects of life. I tend to go for the weird option when it's there."As one example, when Campbell had to have brain surgery, she invited her friends to a zombie-themed roller skating party where they ate giant, brain-shaped jello. She says that Kestrel isn't fazed by any of her mother's antics because she's grown up with it. "She definitely appreciates the absurd, though." Campbell adds.Not only is this story wildly entertaining, but seeing a unique approach to an extremely common parenting situation can help all parents expand their toolbox. Not only is this sock-turned-art-turned-manger-scene a fun way to make a memory with a child, it's also likely to be far more effective at helping her remember to pick up her clothes off the floor than simply reminding her for the dozenth (or hundredth) time to use the hamper. Normally a kid might overlook something they left behind, now any time her eyes hit a piece of clothing on the floor, her brain will remember this goofy scene and at least notice that it's there.Well done, mama. Thanks for the entertainment and the positive parenting example. This article originally appeared on 12.6.20
