Until the Church has an epiphany on abortion promotion v. abortion rights and commits to adequate family income (read median income) as the way to decrease abortion, it will not truly make peace with labor, especially the teachers unions (which it should also allow in its schools).

This election is about getting out the vote, not changing people's minds. I suspect that many ads that tag Youngkin as a Trump loyalists will bring out Trump voters. The most unhinged thing said this year is repeating the GOP trope that Garland is going after parents for speaking their minds on criminal race theory and using pronouns. The FBI is looking for White Supremacists who make threats. That is their job, but it is not going after dissenting voices.

In Missouri and elsewhere, being tagged as a Trumper may either win or lose votes. If Trumpism is equated with being Soft on Putin, Trumpism will disappear.

Biodiesel is trendy, but I am more interested in seeing if cryogenic hydrogen can be used in airplanes, particularly military aircraft. Aircraft manufacturers usually use government design contracts to prove out new technology before implementing it in their civilian fleets.

Reconstructionism is a good idea if we can find compromise without first finding a common enemy. We cannot do so without Grace. People are not willing to seek this quite yet. If we start talking about Christ as Humanist and the Perfect Humility of God, (not Jesus before God, but God Themselves), we  we will be getting closer.

The gay rights movement is egalitarian/sectarian. Such cultural groups are not known for a sense of humor. They have been kicked in the face one too many times to let down their guard just yet. This is why I love Andrew. He brings wit to the party.
