Trump is a greedy hotelier with the mind of a sadistic toddler. A “toddelier,” if you will.

My NEW February Pastoral Letter • “Love is Bigger” • READ (free link) ➡️ csmpublishing.org/february-202... • I’m not talking about any old casual love. This is about God-sourced, Jesus-lived, Holy Spirit-empowered love; the kind of love that is rooted, modeled and sustained in Him.

Proposal: Instead of the Musky USA taking over Greenland, allow Greenland to buy and annex us while we’re still worth something. Every US citizen gets $5000 and a tin of caviar. We could become the Third Municipality of Greenland and a member of the Danish Realm. Long live King Frederik X! 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 🇺🇸

Today’s disastrous Trump Press Conference regarding the tragic air crash in Washington DC only proves once again that Trump understands even less about Imago Dei than he does about DEI.

As an American and an Alabamian, I remember and honor our WWII heroes, the Tuskegee Airmen. May their service to our nation and to the cause of freedom never be forgotten, minimized, or belittled. Their history is our history.

If we see a bully hatefully attacking a loved one or an innocent, the Lord leads us to intervene as an act of mercy and justice. One of my heroes is Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man of peace who also resisted evil. Speaking out may be costly. Be strong, even in the face of fear. Heaven smiles on courage.

The first volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report on the January 6 Trump Insurrection has been released to Congress and media outlets.
Despite Trump’s obstructive efforts, the American people will at long last have the rightful opportunity to see the report.

When asked why I wouldn’t watch this 2025 Trump Inauguration, my answer was simple: because I made the mistake of watching Trump’s 2017 ghastly Inauguration. I concur with George W. Bush’s caustic and succinct assessment of that one.
