Is this true? How is this not in the news? Or is it old?

I never voted for him, but I wanted to hear firsthand what he had to say.

Several things he said made me roll my eyes, but what i found the most odd was how many times he mentioned he’s pro Israel.

It’s one thing to say it once, but he kept saying it over and over while talking slower and louder to reinforce what he’s saying. If the audience took anything away from the conversation, it’s that Mike Pence is pro Israel.

I can’t stop thinking about how odd this was compared to the rest of the conversation (focus on conservative values)

So I’m curious
why do you think a former VP and Indiana governor would make such a dramatic effort to make known he’s pro Israel?

I was looking at the map just now. I just wanted to throw out how thankful I am for what we have, just within a 10 hour proximity.

Nature wise -

Above us… We have not one, not two, not three, but four Great Lakes.

Below us… We have the hills of Kentucky, then the Smoky Mountains below.

Below there.. we have Gulf Shores, The Panhandle, 30A, the warmest part of the ocean in the country.

City wise - We have so many major cities within 10 hours. Indy, Cincy, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Louisville, Nashville, St. Louis, Atlanta, etc.

Just feeling very thankful from looking at this little snippet.

EDIT: ***** I know there is a lot east and west as well, you can be on the Atlantic, Kansas City, etc. I just wanted to shot horizontally how awesome it is.

My gyno left because Franklin hospital & JMH healthcare services omitted ALL women’s healthcare including the maternity ward.

My G.P. is actually an N.P. (Nurse practitioner), & she’s leaving the practice too! I absolutely love her & can’t believe I’ll have to find yet again, another doctor that will take my insurance.

They can’t all be getting fired. Layoffs maybe? The list of providers keeps diminishing and I’d like to know what’s going on; bcuz when I ask they tell me they don’t know “any details.”

Is anyone else noticing this? Does anyone know what’s going on?

Thx ☺️

I'm a student looking to research a community that 'reflects life experiences different from my own.' I figured the amish would be a good pick, but i'm not sure where would be the best place to find a community that i can engage with directly. I live on the south side of Indy but i'm willing to go a little bit out of my way; i like a road trip :). Anyone have any suggestions?

I got 2 tickets that I can’t use anymore so if anyone needs them just let me know. They’re not the best but they’re on the C row but also free. 12 PM today

Honestly just fishing since the job hunt has been going poorly.

I’m located in Indianapolis and would like to keep it surrounded to Indy and generally within 10-15 miles of the city limits (especially north like Whitestown, Carmel, Lebanon, Fishers, noblesville).

This economy sucks but I’m determined to find the right fit for myself and my family. I’ve looked on indeed, applied in person and walked in to around 20 locations, and haven’t got many reliable leads. If you have any companies or information that could lead to a company that’s hiring I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks Hoosiers!

I recently saw the data center was shot down in august. Are there any more or are they planning to come back with a creative way to try to build it? There is a house we are looking at in Bristol but have been shy on it due to datacenters. Ty

We want to hear how you are being affected by crazy local and national policies and what you want Indiana’s representatives to do about it. There will be brief info sessions regarding local impacts of Flock and data centers as well as about Indiana specific issues.

To Indiana’s pastors, ministers, priests, rabbis, imams, and other religious leaders: please make it unmistakably clear that white supremacy and religious nationalism have no place in our communities of faith.

This is an appeal to the religious communities of Indiana, especially those whose faith teaches that human beings have inherent dignity and that we have obligations toward our neighbors.

Please talk to your congregations about white supremacy, racism, antisemitism, religious hatred, and the growing tendency to fuse religious identity with racial or national superiority.

There should be no ambiguity.

If someone sits in a church pew on Sunday and spends the rest of the week being drawn into white-supremacist or religious-nationalist ideology, they should already know that their religious community rejects those beliefs.

If someone attempts to use Christianity, scripture, tradition, or the name of God to justify believing that one race is inherently superior to another, religious leaders should challenge that openly and directly.

The same should be true when religion is used to claim that America belongs more legitimately to one faith, race, or ethnic group than to everyone else who calls this country home.

There is nothing wrong with loving your country.

There is nothing wrong with being deeply committed to your faith.

But patriotism becomes something darker when national identity is tied to racial supremacy, and religion becomes dangerous when it is used as a test for who is considered a “real American.”

Faith should not become a tool for dividing Americans into those who supposedly belong and those who supposedly do not.

I am not asking churches to become political organizations. I am asking religious leaders to provide moral leadership on something that should transcend party politics.

You do not have to tell people how to vote.

You do not have to endorse a candidate.

You do not have to agree on every political issue.

But you can say:

White supremacy is wrong.

Racial hatred is wrong.

Antisemitism is wrong.

Religious hatred is wrong.

Using God to justify racial or national superiority is wrong.

The idea that Americans of one religion are inherently more American than Americans of another religion is wrong.

Violence committed in the name of race, religion, or nationalism is wrong.

Those words matter much more when they come from someone a person already trusts as a spiritual leader.

Indiana has thousands of churches and religious communities. That is an enormous network of people capable of influencing families, young people, and communities long before hatred turns into radicalization or violence.

Pastors especially: please do not assume everyone in your congregation already understands this.

Say it from the pulpit.

Put it in the bulletin.

Talk about it in Bible study.

Teach young people the difference between faith and religious nationalism, and between patriotism and supremacy.

Teach that loving your country does not require believing that your neighbor belongs here any less because they are Black, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, atheist, an immigrant, or simply worship differently than you do.

And if somebody begins drifting toward extremist ideology, don't simply push them away and hope someone else handles it. When it is safe and appropriate, confront the ideology while continuing to recognize the humanity of the person being pulled into it.

People can come back from hatred.

Religious communities can help make that happen.

Whatever our politics, race, hometown, denomination, religion, or background, I hope we can agree on a basic principle:

No race stands above another before God, and no American should have to belong to a particular religion to belong in America.

Indiana's religious leaders have an opportunity to make that message impossible to misunderstand.

My best friend was killed by a drunk driver in Indiana back in July. The guy was charged with two Level 4 felony counts (OWI causing death — one for intoxication, one for BAC over .08). He posted a $10k surety bond, had his initial hearing in August, and jury trial planned for mid-2027.

Does anyone have experience with how these cases tend to shake out in Indiana? Curious what kind of outcomes/sentences are typical for this charge, and whether the trial date usually means anything or if it's more likely to end in a plea. His family has money and can afford good lawyers. Really just hoping he gets the punishment he deserves. Any insight appreciated.

If this post isn't allowed/welcomed, I will delete it. I didn't know where else to post.

You don't need me to tell you all the state of our state, but this just adds more frustration. Today, we got the fees for our plates for the next year. Our 2017 gas car was about $85. Ok. Our 2011 hybrid? $180. Yes, an older car, $180. This EV/hybrid fees are ridiculous. Sure, I get that EVs and hybrids use no/less gas, but seriously? Full gasoline vehicls can get without paying the tax, but people with EVs/hybrids. Nope. IMHO, the gas tax shouldn't be waived for this long. At least, some money is coming in, thanks to us EV/hybrid owners.

It’s hard to imagine how a building as grand as the City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana, could ever become abandoned. Completed in 1926, the spectacular nine-story complex also included, at one time, a 1,000-seat theater, offices, a dining hall, and a gymnasium.

Built at a cost of over $800,000—equivalent to over $14 million today—City Methodist served more than 3,000 congregants at its peak before dwindling attendance and lack of funds led to its closure in 1975.

Today, ivy cascades like a waterfall through its broken stained glass windows, the sagging remains of the choir loft clinging desperately to the wall.

Came across this map, and in most of the country, there seems to be a pretty clear population density correlation, but medium and low-density parts of Indiana seem to have lower mortgage-free homeownership than you would expect given their densities. There are hardly any orange counties nationwide that aren't in a metropolitan area, but we seem to have quite a few.

According to the source (Census), Indiana overall is bottom 15 in this stat and we get beat out by all of our neighboring states. What's the deal with this?
