Once Christians tie their faith to partisan politics they eventually have to defend the indefensible.
Pledge all your allegiance to Jesus Christ and let the politicians fend for themselves.

Jesus: "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over" (John 18:36).
The kingdoms of this world are founded on violence—political violence, state violence, economic violence.
God's kingdom is not.

Charlie Kirk said some good things, and bad things, did some good things and some bad. Let's be careful who we elevate. Can we be discerning of both? From one of the premier New Testament scholars of our day. Nijay K Gupta of Northern Seminary . nijaykgupta.substack.com/p/if-you-are...

There is no Christian theology or eschatology that can justify man-made starvation.
Even if people are viewed as enemies, the Scriptures still tell us what to do:
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.”
The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the Pentagon or the IDF.

AG Bondi: "We gave the children 24 hours to file a Habeas brief and fight deportation. We even gave them crayons, and construction paper for them to write on. Maybe they should have learned to write, instead of learning how to walk and tie their own shoes."

What I can’t understand, is the amount of people I know who would/do brush these stories off as just an unfortunate side effect of doing the right thing. Or they think it’s just the media hating on Trump.
