If federal funding for blue states is withheld, are they justified in withholding a commensurate amount of tax revenue? That would hurt. Blue states are by and large the bread winners, and cutting them off from federal aid and other programs simply won't cut it.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman

slap2: oh. so you are angry at my face then. can you speak it in words?

...there will NOT be a third slap to me or a #retaliatory slap to another. i gave you a fair chance, and you DO NOT NOT KNOW* MY STRENGTH.

...i do, so i held back 2bfair.

*brother yeshua DID NOT SAY ALLOW YOURSELF OR OTHERS 2B #ABUSED.... #takers say that cos they scared of being hurt back.*

Dear #Takers

an open door to a home, does not actually mean

"walk right on in"

we know you wouldnt know cos you just wait for things to BE done and then come take it....

but sometimes we just like to air out the cooking we did and let the birdsong inspire our work.
