Good to hear some decent people are putting Jackie Robinson's statue back up again.

Every unit should have everything they need no matter how much money it costs because it will save lives

He didn't say you're nothing but a homemaker, he said a lot of women will value the children they raise more than a career. He's probably correct about that, and I would venture to say most men probably value their kids more too.

Isn't it funny how people are supposed to be able to say what they want to say in this country, but as soon as you express your views about certain groups or lifestyles it becomes "controversial"?

I can hardly wait for Greg Abbott is out of office.

It is so disgusting that life saving blood on an ambulance becomes a bureaucratic decision instead of a humanitarian one!!!!

[GnosticCushite]

Charging people for blood that was donated. These people are crazy.

Shame that the Jackie Robinson statue was vandalized in my lifetime I seen him play baseball and be a coach he broke barriers and left a proud legacy and than some despicable person or person's got nothing better to do than vandalize the statue.😮

That kicker has the same right to his beliefs as all those who think depravity is nothing to be ashamed of, and homemaking is for slow learners. I stand with the kicker.

❤Thank you Lester for being there for all of us no matter the state of the world, we can trust you to show up.

This renegade soldier came to Austin on a hunting trip - killed one of our citizens, and now our sorry excuse for a Governor has pardoned him for political self gain. As we say in Texas: " that is one sorry sight... " 🥀

[charlesjones]

I appreciated the report on Jackie Robinson.

[joserafaelgarciamorales]

Thank you Lester and good night 🌃 NBC 🎉.

Seeing that gun fight in South Florida immediately made me think….yep, we’ve crossed over into being a 3rd world country. In no other high income country would you ever see this. This is the stuff of Haiti, Afghanistan, the Congo….just unbelievable what we are becoming. So sad. 😢

[ryanauker]

He did not say you’re nothing but a homemaker, people don’t just get to feel whatever they want when we can see and hear the words.

How absolutely devoid of humanity do you have to be, to be proud and dancing in celebrating the destruction of food aid? The Torah teaches to not waste or destroy; to not cut down fruit trees during war. Such an act is not only pathetic, but forbidden by the Torah (the destruction of any edible food).

As these wicked and blasphemous people spit in the face of G_d, as his blessing are turned to plagues, may they have the self-reflection to see that it is only by their own hand that the covenant has been broken, and that they are no longer his Chosen.

Thank you for building the statue again ❤🙏

As much as I don’t want to deal with the hot flashes, I don’t want a drug that later on will have nasty side effects that will be worse than a few seconds of excessive heat
