Contrarian opinion: you can learn to write a clean first draft (and edit as you go). Read through it once for mistakes, send it off for publication, then move on to your next project. The trap is endlessly editing or thinking the first draft will necessarily be a mess.

Hey fellow Christian’s, I wrote an awesome horror book involving themes of forgiveness, justice, and redemption. If you enjoy fiction with Christian themes like Solomon Kane, you’ll love this. Horror as a genre is not anti-Christian.

The beauty of pledging to a tiny Kickstarter is that you're not just a drop in the ocean. Every pledge, yours included, matters immensely. Make a difference! kickstarter.com/projects/mrc…

Wilkommen Freunde to Dave's Car ID Service Oktoberfest Beer Truck Special! Cue the oompah music and roll out the barrel, because we're going to toast some dandy sudsmobiles today. To wet your whistle: Happy Repeal! Not really a beer hauler here, but a 1932-34 Ford B truck modified as a mobile advertisement to announce Prohibition is over and it's time to buy a Blatz Old Heidelberg again. Note the loudspeaker; you can almost hear it pumping out "Happy Days Are Here Again."

davescaridservice this flower bed is at the University of Tennessee Knoxville Gardens. Wonder if it will ever see the road again! ;)
I prowl this twisted asphalt jungle identifying cars in people's old family photos. Got one, pal? Just post it with password davescaridservice and I'll be on the case. My name is Burge. And I'm a car dick.

Correct.
The pro-life premise is simple: it is wrong to intentionally end an innocent human life. The death penalty, self-defense, and just warfare do not target innocent life. In fact, they're necessary to protect it. So there's no contradiction unless the pro-life position is twisted into something like “killing is wrong, period, regardless of the circumstances.” But that's not the premise of the pro-life argument, and it's not a position anyone who actually cares about defending innocent life from violent threats would ever hold.

Reminder that Mitch McConnell, who is literally AWOL from the Senate, is currently in violation of actual Senate Rules.
Under paragraph 2 of Rule VI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, “No Senator shall absent himself from the service of the Senate without leave.” Rather than communicating through secret phone calls or anonymous sources, McConnell has an obligation to disclose to the Senate the reason(s) for his extended absence and to request permission of the Senate to grant him the privilege of continued absence. Without that disclosure and request, and without explicit Senate approval for his extended absence (which I am sure the Senate would grant), McConnell has an obligation to resign. But he is required to make the request under the Standing Rules of the Senate. These are the rules, and it’s long past time for senators to actually follow them.

Today is Howard Andrew Jones' birthday, sword-and-sorcery champion and creator of Hanuvar, who died far too young last year. We would not exist without him - and could not be prouder to his fiction and legacy forward in every issue of BATTLEBORN!

If you are implying that one person one vote means the popular vote elects the US president then no, that's not how a federal republic works. Do you know US civics? Have you read our constitution?
