According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

This week's NT text feels too close for comfort:
The day of the Lord will not come (until) the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. He opposes & exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple, declaring himself to be God.

Wait - Didn't DOGE drastically cut deficits in the second of half of 2025?
Haha, you're funny. The only evidence of DOGE savings is a $12 billion reduction in State Dept & foreign aid funding. And the IRS layoffs will cost more money than that in tax evasion and fewer audits.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Speaking for myself, I’ve never had a crisis of faith because I suddenly realized "Wow, I don't believe any of this." It’s always come from looking around at other Christians — the ones I was supposed to look up to, guys like Mike Johnson — and realizing "Wow, *they* don’t believe any of this."

Analysis | Donald Trump is a new kind of Republican. Yes, his agenda includes Middle East invasions, sexual culture wars, throwing people off their healthcare, and exploding the debt with handouts to the ultra-rich. But he also sells his own crypto, bibles, and cell phone service.
