I am not religious, at all, but I was always in awe of Carter, especially after he left office.

A shining example of walking the walk. One of the mani reasons I eschew religion is the way most people do not walk the walk.

It's a HUGE problem for me especially now when so many on the right profess to be faithful, yet what they DO everyday has NOTHING to do with the teachings of the bible.

And when you ask them how they justify...they flat refuse to answer.

Over six decades, Jill and I had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend.

But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well.

I'm glad that President Carter lived long enough to vote for VP Harris, per his wish, but died before what is coming on January 20. RIP to the most decent and moral person to ever hold the Presidency. As a fellow resident of the Great State of Georgia, I salute a true American hero.🇺🇸

Honor that man's legacy by throwing a few dollars towards an organization where he donated thousands of hours (and calories) of his time.

Habitat For Humanity is not one of my normal monthly donations, but maybe it will be in 2025, starting now...

Hey Trump? You don't DESERVE to say the name "Jimmy Carter"!

Thank GOD he will be honored by Joe Biden, and not dishonored by you!

@VOANews #JimmyCarter lived the life of a true Christian. Even I, a dyed in the wool heathen non-believer, would vote for Jimmy Carter in a heartbeat. RIP President Carter, thank you for your service.

Jimmy Carter defined being a good Christian. He walked the walk. The world has lost a beacon.

First I'm hearing of this. So sad. #JimmyCarter #RIPCarter

BUT AT LEAST HE'LL GET A PROPER RESPECTFUL PRESIDENTIAL FUNERAL UNDER #Biden before he leaves office than if this were to occur under #TheOrangeMenace. 😢

Good. Thank you.

“Democratic Gov. Gretchen #Whitmer on Tuesday signed into law House Bills 4127 and 4128. The bills, sponsored by Democrats and introduced last year, prohibit the possession of firearms at polling locations on Election Day and during early voting, and also prohibit openly carrying firearms within 100 feet of an absentee ballot counting board while votes are being counted.” #Michigan

The thunder is so loud, I can barely hear the TV!

And it is beyond irony that the party that wants to disband the Dept. of Education & destroy public education, decry the lack of educated workers, so the only recourse is to bring in clever immigrant workers.
My eyes are rolling so far back in my head I can see my butt.

From what I’ve read about the visa program is it leads to worker abuse since the visas are tied to a specific company & aren’t portable.

In short, stop using someone’s Jewish identity as a jumping-off point for political debates. Let people celebrate their holidays and culture without being burdened by the weight of your agenda. It’s Hanukkah, not a geopolitical Q&A session. 🕎

In 1960, jazz pianist Dave Brubeck canceled a 25-date tour of colleges and universities across the American south after 22 schools had refused to allow his Black bassist, Eugene Wright, to perform.
He also canceled a TV show where they didn't want to show Eugene on camera.

The US may have put a man on the moon, but Denmark put an entire population on free healthcare.
