I don’t know who needs to hear this but … if the pedophile President posts an openly racist video and your reaction is to blame Russell Moore, David French, etc … you have a sales receipt stapled to the place your soul use to inhabit.

Yes, this is a subtweet.

1/ New Episode!
In this double-length episode @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon interview Pastor Joe Rigney about toxic empathy. Then Ben and Bon hold a postmortem on Rigney's words and what happens when we gate-keep sacrificial love for others. Bonus: Bon and Ben talk Meg Basham revelations!

The video Trump posted of the Obama family as monkeys says nothing about Trump that we didn’t already know. But it does say everything about the people who still stand with him.

Do not forget who the MAGA/MAGA Christen are & why they stand with him. People rot from inside out.

Hooboy ... do @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and I have an episode for you tomorrow, when we dive into the errors of Toxic Empathy ideology. It's a long one and worth it.

“I don’t know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat … but I do know how they can vote for a raping racist pedophile who is named 38,000 times in the Epstein files. Just tell them it’s for the babies. Just not the ones I killed by starving them.”

1/ When people like Albert Mohler, Allie Stuckey, Meh Basham, Andrew Walker, Doug Wilson, Katy Faust, etc all repeatedly say the most hypocritical and flatly unChristlike things remember this: These are the same people who decided pedophilia and rape weren't bridges too far.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds him. Leo is one of the primary reasons Trump is in office. Lol.

This is absolutely hysterical.
Trump’s anger stemmed from a U.S. Court of International Trade ruling that struck down his administration's tariffs. He blamed the Federalist Society for recommending judges who have since blocked several of his executive actions.

We've now officially reached the moment when Christian Nationalists openly say that black and brown people are conspiring against whites and that it is a sign of the end-times.

When your eschatology is based on race and dominance, it doesn't look ahead to Christ. It looks ahead to hell.

It says something about the state of the American church when a man who is a publicly avowed Leninist is helping a convicted pedophile stave off accountability by ...checks notes... creating a coalition that features Conservative Christians.

Those who crave power inevitably become tools of others.
😳 On 2/24/18, Bannon messaged Epstein about forming a new Populist/Nationalist coalition that would include Conservative Christians, adding that it would “stave[] off ‘time’s up’ for the next decade plus,” apparently referring to the “Time’s Up” nonprofit that supported sexual harassment victims. 1/

Nothing says Charlie Kirk/TPusa like Kid Rock headlining their alternate Superbowl show. A rich kid masquerading as something he isn't on stage fits right in with uneducated Kirk faking trained intellectualism.

Guess Erika spent all the money on fireworks.

Reminder: All modern political ideologies/parties are built on the same two questions: 1) How much control does the government have over me. 2) How much responsibility do I have for my fellow man.

The first only political science can address. The second Christ already answered.

Some days, I can really identify with God's desire to wipe the slate clean with a flood.

Sigh.

Unsurprising that @meganlbasham.bsky.social has appeared multiple times with Steve Bannon on his podcast considering Bannon not only worked for Epstein, but lasciviously made some fascinating comments about women in their orbit. MAGA ethics.

I guess some people are for sale.

1/ When the law commands/makes tacit room for a Christian to act contrary to Christ’s lived example, it is the duty of the Christian to disobey the law.

When the law treats our neighbors contrary to Christ’s lived example, it is the duty of the Christian to stand between the law & our neighbor.

Fritz Gerlich updated: "National Socialism (MAGA) means: Enmity with neighboring nations, tyranny internally, civil war, world war, lies, hatred, fratricide and boundless want."

Enmity: Up.
Inflation: Up.
Internal Tyranny: Yes.
Civil War: Almost.
WW: Yes.
Lies: Yes.
Hatred: Yes.
Fratricide: Yes.

There are a lot of Americans who don't know who Jacobo Timerman or Fritz Gerlich were ... and it really shows.

“Agree with us and our support for the people who executed a nurse on his knees in the street … or we will go after your wife.”

Shameful and utterly predictable from the people who gleefully support pedophilia in office and ignores sexual abuse victims.

Church plants that are not birthed from new believers aren’t actually church plants … they’re cattle-rustling ops.

I think it’s very nice of Trump to show so much interest in Melania’s film. The last time he showed this much interest about her in front of a camera she had just done a soft-core porn photoshoot.
January 29, 2026 at 3:32 PM
1/ NEW EPISODE: @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and Bon talk about the murder of Alex Pretti, the crumbling of walls between information ecosystems, the Holocaust, consistency as witness, and what happens when one’s entire identity is built upon the image another person.
January 29, 2026 at 3:09 AM
If I have to see it, you have to see it.

It helps to understand both the MAGA and MAGA Christen ecosystems when one grasps that they nurse on Trump's teats for sustenance. They don't really care how the milk is made so long as it gives them power and money. No ethics, ever.
January 28, 2026 at 9:58 PM
Ok, guys. @wearenotenemies.bsky.social and I have a banger of a podcast episode dropping later today. Warm up your headphones.
January 28, 2026 at 5:08 PM
Hint: If your Christian praxis doesn't make you a dissident, looked upon askance by those in mainstream culture (even mainstream Christian culture) ... it isn't truly rooted in the Cross or Christ's lived example.

Lived Christic example will NEVER look like Caesar OR Caesar's priests.
