People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the recordβ€”the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

a color wheel…

Mercury was only 50 arcminutes (0.8Β°) above a very young waxing crescent Moon this evening. KAS member Pete Mumbower captured this image from his home in Vicksburg, MI.

Oil painting of an elephant shaped part of Chelan Butte seen from Union Valley Road. There is a small red shed and trees in subtle foreground shadow.
Clouds in the sky with blue sky poking through.
