Follower of Christ, husband, father... I've served on the school board and the deacon board and believe we're only going to fix things by making genuine, local connections with people who disagree with us.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

It's hilarious that Trump is lazily going through the motions of the National Prayer Breakfast as his cult is planning to erect a literal golden idol of him.

My family was not prepared for my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. No family is. We need a healthcare system that better supports us.

This is why I haven't completely given up on all white evangelical Christians. Many of them, but not all. Those of us who have those connections need to keep asking those questions and speaking truth in love. It's not at all easy, but it's very necessary.
"The people who eventually broke free from complicity in Nazi Germany almost always did so through a relationship. Someone they trusted asked them an honest question. Someone they loved showed them what they had stopped seeing. A human connection broke through the ideological fog."

Ironically Miller, Vought, & Co are hastening the demise of the rule of old, white men in America. This regime will collapse one day (nothing built on lies, corruption, & cruelty can last). The country that rises from the ashes will likely reflect all of the things that they hate.

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins.

When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look.

When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.

It is time to choose sides.

I fear for Philly this summer.

Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods.
Family.
Loyalty.
Grit.

The regime will be desperate to control the narrative around the 4th, and that has to happen in Philly. Sadly, their toolbox is full of lies, cruelty, and violence.

That won't play well in Philly.

This is brilliant.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Mark Carney. Jack Smith. Mark Kelly. These are the kind of leaders that will ultimately prevail. Why? It's because they are intelligent, prepared, and unflappable. When they speak truth, it resonates and radiates competence and trustworthiness. When the circus leaves town, they'll still be standing.
It is truly a badge of honour that Canada is to be excluded from Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. Nothing good can come of anything created by Trump. Elbows up!

Flesh eating parasite making its way north. Yep. Sounds about right for 2026

Ever heard of New World Screwworm? 🪰

No? Us either, until about a year ago.

That's about when both CDC and USDA started standing up systems to respond to this 🦠🫣 flesh-eating parasite 🦠🫣 (yep, you heard us), which is moving northward toward American soil.

If God's intention was to use him to squash the US like the Potter's clay (Jeremiah 18) to be reshaped and rebuilt, sure. It's ironic that God would use him as an instrument of humility but, whatever.

Otherwise, I'm not seeing the Fruit of the Spirit in this one.

If the lawyers make you state right up front that your advice has to be double-checked, clearly you're not very helpful in guiding my purchases...
