The Kokomo Tornado

I just saw a piece from NBC national on my local affiliate. The manager of the Starbucks that was destroyed saved 20 people by forcing them into the two bathrooms before it hit and destroyed the Starbucks.

Not that it matters, but I know this part of Indiana, chances are a 3/4 of the people he saved were Trump supporters. His name was Angel and he is Hispanic.

Irony is so amazing.

Don't tell them. They will say they are born a third time and entitled to three times as many rights as non-believers and 50 % more rights than those who are merely "born again" (who are entitled to only twice as many rights as non-believers).

I got my military tattoos there, when I finally decided I was old enough that altering my body would only matter to my mortician.

My buddies and I may have hit Starbucks, I don't remember. I think the really popular spot was the local strip club. Thank God il was spared!!!

The vast, vast majority of people put politics way down the list of things that drive their interactions with others.
