Excellent imagery. And there’s Virginia Foxx of Watauga County always front and center in some of the vilest moments of our history.

A jumbled response but that’s my head lately. I live in a neighborhood called The Gulch. It’s a very nice neighborhood but nestled down a steep hill. I love my house but when I come back from the beach or the mountains, I feel very closed in. I never heard your mother’s saying, but it’s very true. And the disgusting photo: what a collection of vile, cruel people, so pleased to be destroying so many lives—the workers who are paid substandard wages to clean their houses, take care of their yards, build their offices, staff the restaurants they have $100 dinners in, babysit and educate their children, care for their elderly relatives. It makes me sick.

I have been deeply saddened by my friends who have said they want to keep their heads in the sand right now. It is such a hard time to be a compassionate human. 🙏💕 But I will take the tears and not the blinders.

The simple wisdom of your mother’s words echoes through the years to perfectly describe the acts of the grinning robots. Shame.

Dear Jeanne - Your gift for writing/sermons is amazing! The cruelty/ wickedness of this administration is as Catherine Cooke says, “beyond the pale.” Thank you always for your writings! ❤️
