  • You guys consider reading the article instead of guessing? The article is about one book and one bible being returned to one person.

    The Smithsonian responded to DC News Now, stating:

    The Bible and book belong to Rev. Brown of San Francisco who generously loaned them to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture for an exhibition. The loan agreement has expired and the items are being returned (in May) to the owner which is standard museum practice for any loan. The curator called and wrote to Rev. Brown.

    None of these objects are leaving the Smithsonian.”




  • maybe. its possible there are other semi-conscious awakenings inside this person as well. cognitive dissonance makes it very, very difficult to admit you were wrong. we can’t expect people to do a 180. the people on the right win elections because they run a big tent. I personally believe the left(more-ish) in america loses elections largely due to purity tests.

    anyway, its hard to say what’s inside someone’s head. I say if someone is willing to vote blue for “the economy” they’re welcome in the tent. with any luck, the influence of the other people they’re no longer knee-jerk hostile to will rub off over time, issue by issue.





  • My older neighbor got a call from a guy who called her “mom” and said he’d been in a car accident, and there was a problem with his insurance, so he was in real trouble if he couldn’t pay cash for the damage, the other guy was gonna call the cops, and he needed $2,000 to give to the other guy for the damage.

    She said “Tim?” and the guy said "yeah mom its Tim and kept repeating he was gonna go to jail for not having insurance cause it lapsed just this week and he needed to run to the store and he was in an accident.

    She withdrew 2k from the bank and some guy came and said he was Tim’s friend and he needed to go right then the cops were gonna arrest Tim.

    Apparently, he snatched the money out of her hand and ran to his car and left. She felt very foolish.



  • yes, the problem with having an ignorant idiot of a host/presenter have all these hugely influential people with their half baked ideas as guests is that he can’t/won’t point out basic facts like how a lack of empathy is indicative of anti-social personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

    so, you’ve got how many bros who think “empathy is a bug” is a statement that doesn’t need to be challenged out there… repeating it in their heads.

    Roegan just lets them talk, its a forum for everybody!
