I have said this for years, but when I say it I have to explain it. Here’s attorney Dante Pride whose statements stand on their own. His four principles: 1) no roadside sobriety, 2) no searches, 3) no explanations, 4) no voluntary presence.

Not one decent cell
Today the world learns that Jeffrey Epstein described Donald Trump as one of the most despicable life forms: “I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump […] not one decent cell in his body.” The old saying that “birds of a feather flock together” isn’t adequate to describe the ramifications. Epstein is among the worst of the worst. For him to say that Trump is worse than Epstein’s cohort is akin to Hitler saying that someone else was worse than himself. How is that even possible? Epstein considered Trump to be too vile to associate with him!?

Authentic-self uniforms for transit employees
The Toronto Sun reports that transportation companies are recognizing an authentic-self approach to crew uniforms. “Eurostar’s employees are sporting new gender-neutral uniforms that include skirts for men, funky neckerchiefs and chunky Dr. Marten boots.” The pieces are “interchangeable and made to fit all genders, body types, and personal styles, empowering staff to express their individuality.”
A few years prior, Canada’s WestJet adopted “pantsuits, skirts and dresses […] meant to be gender neutral, so workers can select the uniform that is most authentic and comfortable to them.” It is meant to embrace “a genderless approach that encourages staff to wear whatever pieces resonate most with individual workers.”Show more ›
Pressing in and stepping back
There are times when we should press through the noise to encounter God and there are times when we should step back rather than dishonor God with a half-hearted distraction.
Not predestination, not micromanagement
God will be as involved in your life as you allow God to be. That’s not micromanagmwnt and its not predestination. But if you permit God to manage the minutia, God will happily shoulder the burden *and* arrange those mundane affairs into a breathtaking tapestry. Or we can stress over the triffles and never see what could have been.

Appeasement Fallacy
Appeasers believe that if you keep on throwing steaks to a tiger, the tiger will turn vegetarian. —Heywood Broun
Origins
The universe is far more complex than Genesis, and far more simple than Darwin.
