Reached Wednesday in Montgomery, Alabama, Moore said that he would be at Life Tabernacle Church noon Thursday for a news conference about an impending legal battle, though he offered no specifics.
"Well, we'll talk about that tomorrow," Moore said.

He said Moore would represent him as pastor of Life Tabernacle and the church "for defense of the Gospel, for the people who are losing their jobs, for my name being slandered by (Gov.) John Bel Edwards, for his arrest that I had to undergo yesterday and for the people who are afraid to come back to our church out of fear of persecution."

“You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about.

War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors.

You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.”

quote:

SHENZHEN, China, April 2 (Reuters) - The Chinese city of Shenzhen has banned the eating of dogs and cats as part of a wider clampdown on the wildlife trade since the emergence of the new coronavirus.

Scientists suspect the coronavirus passed to humans from animals. Some of the earliest infections were found in people who had exposure to a wildlife market in the central city of Wuhan, where bats, snakes, civets and other animals were sold.

The disease has infected more than 935,000 people around the world and killed some 47,000 of them.

Authorities in the southern Chinese technology hub said the ban on eating dogs and cats would come into force on May 1.

"Dogs and cats as pets have established a much closer relationship with humans than all other animals, and banning the consumption of dogs and cats and other pets is a common practice in developed countries and in Hong Kong and Taiwan," the city government said in an order posted on Wednesday.

I don't like telling people what they can and cannot do but cats and dogs are cute AF and super smart. There are other sources of protein that don't have the potential for contagious diseases and are not as smart or cute, like beans

The United States has spent the last 10 years tearing itself apart trying to keep people from getting medical coverage.

From any other country with socialized medicine, this has been a staggering self own and will now have catastrophic consequences.

In my defense, there was no way I could have known that lighting myself on fire wasn't the only way to roast a hot dog, or that fire can spread to other people and places when you don't sufficiently social distance yourself from them

if there was any justice in this country we'd triage based on who previously and publically expressed opinions that americans should or shouldn't get healthcare

this is a really lovely chart that also probably relies on cell data which is much less reliable in majorly rural areas. theres no way the people in South Dakota (still no stay at home order!) took this seriously in mid march.

Most brain injuries/conditions are imperceptible to the person thats suffering them, only after a time does it start to make the person feel like something isn't right leading to anger and then acceptance.

Very DYNAMIC, vigorous. A sign of the economy reshaping itself, with large groups of people transitioning from one part of the economy to the other.
