In an interview with USA Today, Biden, talks about how he didn't intend to run for president in 2020.

“I don't know,” Biden responded when USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page asked if he would've had the vigor to serve another four years in office. Biden and Page sat down at the White House on Sunday for the president's rare interview with a print publication.
Biden, 82, talks about how he didn't intend to run for president in 2020, but says that when Trump sought reelection last year, “I really thought I had the best chance of beating him. But I also wasn’t looking to be president when I was 85 years old, 86 years old."
“But I don't know. Who the hell knows?" he added. “So far, so good. But who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86 years old?”

Richard Dawkins and Jerry Coyne and psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker.
Coyne said he found the foundation’s behavior bizarre. “I find it strange that an organization that is pro-science all of a sudden is acting in a quasi-religious manner, suppressing dissent, calling out blasphemy and heresy by censoring those people who go against their preferred definition of woman,” Coyne said.
Double standards: denial about scientific orthodoxy and inquisitors.

Letter: Regarding BYU’s restrictions for its faculty, it seems Joseph Smith might have agreed that “the spirituality of education is not about dictating ends”
By Gail L. Porritt | The Public Forum | Jan. 9, 2025, 6:00 a.m.
After reading Peggy Fletcher Stack’s and Gordon Monson’s recent Tribune articles on BYU’s tightening restrictions for their faculty, I am reminded of a passage from Parker J. Palmer’s “To Know As We Are Known.” Palmer sounds to me like something Joseph Smith might have agreed with:
“A spirituality of ends wants to dictate the desirable outcomes of education in the life of the student. It uses the spiritual tradition as a template against which the ideas, beliefs, and behaviors of the student are to be measured. The goal is to shape the student to the template by the time his or her formal education concludes.

Clusters of Characteristics
If your like me, have you notices something: people who vote democratic tend to have a lot of ink--tattoos--piercings, are vegetarians, are pro-abortion, pro-feminist, pro-enviroment, pro-global, are anti-gun, anti-war, support or are themselves LGBTQ, and are atheists.
Why is there this cluster of characteristics?
Is there any connection to the relation?
Andy Rooney (Mostly Andy Rooney, 125, 335): If for Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, and gun control, for one, for all. They are the same thing.
Why this connection

All are anti scripture

God does two things
disrupts egalitarian, distributive justice, fairness, it's unfair a person is better than we are.
