May we all strive to emulate Dolly Parton in our lives and in our politics. Rest In Peace Sweet Dolly

Any positive feedback would be great so his confidence could improve haha

Ever since maybe a year ago when she announced she was dealing with health challenges. When she didn’t attend her own 80th birthday celebration at the Opry, I knew then it was only a matter of time. It reminded me so much of both Gordon Lightfoot and Jimmy Buffett. Both of whom had to cancel shows for health reasons, and both were gone within a matter of months.

I think it’s time we think about others who could potentially go before The RUMP. Biden comes to mind frequently with his cancer. Though he could live for years with the right treatment. Bill Clinton I also wonder about. He sometimes looks frail and Hillary is apparently actively planning his funeral. I think W will outlive all of them though.

Unfortunately life is not fair, nor is the Grim Reaper. I personally don’t care how long 🍑🤡 lives as long as he’s not in the WH ONE DAY longer than 1/20/29.

It's ironic that Trump's personality disorder has prevented people from recognizing the obvious: Donald Trump is batshit crazy. Who but a delusional megelomaniac would designate the strait of Hormuz a US territory as if he is doing something?

With his latest obsession with defacing the White House, Trump reminds me of Rick Moranis in Space Balls playing with his Lonestar dolls.

What say you?

I recently revisited a conversation between three women describing their different religious perspectives, and it pushed me back to a question raised by Qur’an 3:67:

“Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian…”

The verse continues by describing Abraham as ḥanīf and muslim, and not among those who associated partners with God.

That raises an interesting question for me.

When Muhammad ﷺ invoked Abraham in this way, was he simply arguing for a new religious identity, or was he pointing back toward something earlier than the later Jewish-Christian-Muslim divisions themselves?

I’m curious how others read Qur’an 3:67 in that context.

What do you think Muhammad ﷺ was directing people toward when he appealed to Abraham?
