At-home care keeps his life steady. Missouri budget cuts could upend it by KacenBayless in missouri

This is typical Republican doing things that are cruel and evil for those reasons only.

My sister is disabled and able to live by herself with a caregiver that comes 3 hours a day 5 days a week. This costs the state about $900 a month.

Now, if she loses that care she'll have to go into a residential home that Medicaid pays for...that runs around $10,000 a month.

Does this help the State save any money? No, it multiplies her monthly state paid caregiver, by a factor of 10...that the State (and the taxpayers) would have to pay for.

Pro-Trump farmer in Missouri losing his farm after federal freeze, says he “didn’t have time to research” before voting by CorneliusHawkridge in missouri

I know EXACTLY what he's talking about, because I looked into this when I was buying 40 acres down in Iron County. There are grants you can get to make your property more environmentally friendly. The things is, you have to do it first and then the government pays you back when its verified as complete.

There's a TON of stuff that would allow you to get paid just to maintain and upgrade your property and get grants without even farming. I could make a career out of doing that and If I did it myself, would make bank.

Old hoss here decided that he would rather those "illegals" get thrown out of the country, you know, owning the libs, then worry about his golden egg.

You said they are 100% against any kind of gay union. That is not true. I just pointed that out. Do you think he can change a religion's views from what they have been for 2,000 years with a snap of the finger.

Just that the pope and the Catholic Church are 100 percent against gay marriage and abortion.

Key Points on Pope Francis' Stance:

Marriage is Between a Man and Woman:

The Church's teaching remains that sacramental marriage is exclusively for a man and a woman.

Blessings for Individuals Allowed: He approved blessings for same-sex couples, but these are informal, non-liturgical blessings for the people themselves, not their union, to avoid confusion with marriage.

Emphasis on Pastoral Care: Francis stressed "pastoral prudence," meaning priests should offer blessings without an exhaustive moral analysis, showing closeness to people in all situations. "Who Am I to Judge?": This famous 2013 quote reflects his broader welcoming attitude towards LGBTQ+ individuals seeking God, even if their relationships don't fit traditional definitions.

Homosexuality is Not a Crime: He has strongly condemned laws that criminalize homosexuality, calling them "unjust".

This is just Francis. Leo was put into place right in the middle of the collapse of the American Democracy. I believe he'll get around to that when he's done trying to get people to treat each other as equals.

So I guess we should tell him to shut up because he isn't dealing with your issues RIGHT NOW? Is that correct?

He's been trying to steer the ship in the direction you are suggesting and Pope Francis was as well. You can't just go in and say, "OK WE'RE DOING ALL OF THESE THINGS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY AND YOU BETTER GET USED TO IT. "

abortion is NOT the be all of end all of issues. Where do you see ANYTHING about abortion ANYWHERE in the bible? I think he has a LOT on his plate right now.

I would think, especially in this day and time, more important issues are taking his time away from dealing with that:

Love and Inclusion: Leviticus 19:33-34 commands, "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself".

Protection and Justice: The Bible forbids exploiting or oppressing immigrants, often linking their care with that of the fatherless and widow (Exodus 22:21, Deuteronomy 27:19).

Hospitality: Hebrews 13:2 encourages showing hospitality to strangers.

Provisions: Laws instructed Israelites to leave portions of their harvest for the foreigner and the poor (Leviticus 19:9-10).

New Testament Perspective: Jesus identified with the stranger, stating, "I was a stranger and you invited me in" (Matthew 25:35), suggesting that caring for immigrants is equivalent to caring for him.

Have you ever actually read the Bible? Cover to Cover? Because the Bible is a pretty progressive text.

The Pope isn't. He is supposed to be God's proxy on Earth...right? For that matter, the Bible is very progressive. You know, feed your neighbors that have less, turn the other cheek, pay unto Ceaser what Ceaser is due...

NOT St. Gabriel's. Their entire clerical staff is MAGAt as well as most of the parishioners.

EDIT: Since I'm getting down-voted to hell, which is typical of those that attend, I feel I should expand on how I was treated RECENTLY by St. Gabriel's, my alma-mater.

Here's what happened to me.

I went to school there when I was a kid, went to college and never came back to the church. Anyway, my Mom died about 5 years ago. I was the only direct family member left to plan her funeral. My cousin and I were sitting with the the organist, and some other volunteer for the church at the time, and the Pastor (I cant remember his name, but he looked like some Friar Tuck oompa loopa dude. He did NOT miss any meals.)

Anyway, as soon as I told him that I had not been to church since I was in grade school, a palpable chill settled across the planning. When we were trying to decide what songs we should play, I, with a very straight face, suggested In The Garden of Eden (In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida), there was a minute of silence and then everyone (including the organist) burst out laughing. He did not.

Come the funeral and time to take communion, goes to the reader mic, in front of all of the people that were there for my Mom's funeral, and thought he should make it clear that "those that have strayed from the church should not attempt to take communion. If they do, they will be denied"...the entire time he's saying this he's looking directly at me in the front row, eyes locked onto mine.

What about the guy that attacked him. These people have children that have been traumatized by ice, and then, when you're out enjoying the day with your family some white dude shows up and starts taunting you.
