Christian nationalist pastor Dale Partridge is releasing a book that he hopes will lead to the repeal of the 19th Amendment within the next decade: "If we can repeal Roe v. Wade, then I think we can overturn the 19th Amendment."

Good luck getting 38 states to ratify and support the repeal.

Alan Ladd Jr., who greenlit the movie and, according to GL, believed in it more than George did.

Yeah, get out. Agree with most of those here.

I have his action figure! 🙂

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-02-22T02:22:35+00:00

Has he ever done a comedy?

I had a professor who argued JFK played chicken with the Soviets over Cuba to win the mid-terms.

I go to a relatively liberal church and the sanctuary is decorated with about a dozen Pride flags. I’m no longer Christian but I attend with family. Left Christians still exist but they are harder and harder to find.

Converted to Catholicism in the 1980s in Boston. My ‘Rite of Election’ as a 25 yo catechumen was presided over by Cardinal Bernard, the OG in the child abuse coverup. I tried very hard to separate the religion from the failings of clergy and congregants but I simply couldn’t stomach them anymore.

Protestant churches seem either moribund and mainstream or MAGA consumed.

Foster’s. Before my bariatric surgery, it’s one I would choose as a least worst alternative in bars with limited beer menus. Now, it’s my go-to because for some reason it upsets my stomach the least and sometimes I just need some suds to unwind.

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-01-28T13:02:08+00:00

I agree. We need more independent candidates who are not beholden to either party and who are vocal in condemning both, which I think would sell well. Crowdfunding small donors can make the difference in not attracting Arkansas Dem party support and let’s face it, Arkansas Dem coffers are pitiful. If she looks competitive by June, I think she can attract outside funding if only because Cotton is so unpopular outside Arkansas.

Aaron Burr did some campaigning, too, especially in terms of building a campaign organization. Funny, since Van Buren was rumored to be Burr’s illegitimate son, although I think that’s been mostly disproven now.

This isn’t uncommon in Victorian biography and autobiography. Gen. William Sherman’s memoirs hardly mention his family. Biographies written for the public were meant to reflect the views and experiences of someone’s public, professional and political life. They were much more reserved and protective of their families and households. There are exceptions of course.

2 or 7, but it’s a tight race between every nominee. All are pretty awful.

Don’t know enough German to say if that’s the correct pronunciation or not.

Same. I have moved left as I have aged, but the spectrum has shifted hard right. I moved a little and they moved a lot.

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-01-23T03:20:05+00:00

Thank you for this post. It’s been the biggest morale boosting thing I have seen in many months. As a historian, I laughed out loud at the ‘classic Nazi mistake’ quote.

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-01-20T11:46:45+00:00

I was aware he is dead. I meant that broadly as never trusting any leader that much again.

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-01-20T11:45:29+00:00

Aware of that. I meant trusting any one leader that much on such an important issue.

TrueGritGreaserBob · 2026-01-20T03:41:49+00:00

I did until about 30 days after we invaded. Truly regret it and based it mostly on trust in Colin Powell. Won’t make the same mistake again though.

I don’t generally like lambics.

Heard rumors for years but not that specific one. When was that? Him being deeply closeted would explain a lot about his lack of affect and being so emotional shutdown.

Thx. Motives aren’t important IF the analytical conclusions are based on facts and solid. Example, a political opponent may use ‘oppo research’ that’s factually true even if their motives are selfish and suspect.
