FamilyOpinion: Ted Cruz's Stance On Same-sex Marriage Raises A Huge Red Flag by Tayodotcom(op): 12:39pm On Jul 18, 2022
"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."

These famous words from Abraham Lincoln in the 1863 Gettysburg Address during the Civil War filled my head when I heard GOP Sen. Ted Cruz slamming the 2015 US Supreme Court decision that recognized same-sex marriage.

Marriage should be "left to the states," the senator from Texas said in a clip from his podcast, expressing his view that the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling was wrong.
It's not that Cruz's words alone conjured up Lincoln's address, but that his comments fueled my growing sense that some Republicans don't just want red states but individual red nations. I don't mean formal secession. But it's more akin to sovereign nations where they can act unrestrained from federal intervention on issue after issue -- from voting rights to same-sex marriage and even interracial marriage.
Yet they still want all the benefits of being part of the United States, with blue states heavily subsidizing some conservative states, as one New York Times columnist has noted.

Even before Cruz's comments, other conservative leaders have expressed a similar desire to give states the right to deprive residents of fundamental rights. In his concurring opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling that overturned Roe, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the court "should reconsider" seminal cases recognizing same-sex marriage, the constitutional right to birth control and a prohibition on state laws that criminalized consensual sex between same-sex individuals. follow here for more - https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/18/opinions/republicans-ted-cruz-states-rights-obeidallah/index.html

An elderly woman was shot as she sat in the courtyard of a Brooklyn public housing development Sunday, police said.

The 74-year-old woman was outside the Pink Houses on Loring Ave. near Autumn Ave. in East New York when the sound of gunfire echoed through the community about 6:35 p.m., cops said.

The woman heard the shots — and when she felt pain she realized she’d been struck in the stomach, police said.

FamilyWhy Must I Diet? Is It Really Needed? by Tayodotcom(op): 12:21pm On Jul 18, 2022
These thoughts has been on my mind for years, when the thought of death strikes in, i feel like i can eat whatever i want, pot belly and all i don't care. As long as i am not eating poison and food that will endanger my life, then whatever I crave for I eat it the way i want, if i have the money though.

When we dont even know when we'll leave this earth, why worry everyday about body shape and all.
