You've really nailed it this time Thom! I am sharing this one far and wide. It would be wonderful if this was submitted/shared as an opinion piece in every newspaper in the US! Seriously! If there is a way please do so. This frank recapture of events is so needed right now.

In reading everyone else's off topic comments, I couldn't help but think of my favorite song by Lennon, Imagine. I joined many years ago. Hate and religion sadly go hand in hand oftentimes. Please write your congress people, and once again demand separation of church and state be explicitly stated and codified.

"Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one."

Stay strong and loving dear progressives! ❤️

"Separation of Church and State." How has that gone by the wayside? "the concept is enshrined in the very first freedom guaranteed by the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." https://www.freedomforum.org/separation-of-church-and-state/#:~:text=The%20words%20%22separation%20of%20church,lines%20of%20the%20First%20Amendment

Now we have a Speaker of the House openly decreeing rule by religion.
