“I could shoot and kill someone in the middle of fifth Avenue and no one would care.” — #Trump.
Was he right?
Yes, I’ve always suspected.
If so, no one will give a fuck even if he did the unthinkably worst with #Epstein.
So, yes, “the truth will come out,” but it won’t matter.
That’s my guess.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

It's wild that Europe, the allies the United States joined hands with to stand up against Russia (then doing evil business as the "Soviet Union"), is now having to stand up against *the United States* for enabling Russia's war crimes.

I’ve heard it said that the New Testament mentions only one pagan god by name: “Mammon.”
But on this Easter Sunday, I believe that that is not the case, for Paul explicitly mentions Death/Thanatos (1 Cor 15:26), who has now been put to death.

Zelenskyy has huge balls. Doing this all right in front of the press. Honestly the first bit of inspiring media I've seen in a long time.

"Peter Kreeft, who perceives much about life and death, aspires to teach us about virtues, both classical and theological. He does not aspire to teach us about values, praise be. As he puts it, ‘Values are like thoughts, like ghosts, undulating blobs of psychic energy.’

In his _Back to Virtue_, Peter Kreeft denigrates Romanticism by associating it with a "secularized heart" (analogous to his view of the Enlightenment as a "secularized head."
But I'd argue that a "secularized" heart is a contradiction in terms; there is no such thing.
Kreeft is wrong here.
