Man, even in this echo chamber you can’t get any likes? Sorry to hear that.

You’ve written an essay to make yourself a hero by leaving out the entirety of what sparked criticism against you. (I’m assuming that’s why you left me out—because I was the one who initially criticized and demonstrated your claims were ignorant).

@nc5official.bsky.social needs to correct this now.

Yet you do not even mention your (entirely incorrect) accusation that the Tennessean did something unethical in publishing the essay, nor the fact that you tagged the Tennessean’s opinion editor in an apparent attempt to your his OWN social media mob whipped up against the newspaper.

This is an absolutely dishonest recounting of why you came in for criticism. It had nothing to do with your reporting. It had to do with YOUR incorrect complaints about the Tennesseean choosing to run an op-ed from a conservative Christian real estate developer you disapprove of.

Lucas Miles is head of TPUSA Faith. And yes, my husband is Brian Basham. 😄

Most fun, getting to chat with Senator Ted Cruz’s dad, Pastor Rafael Cruz about dangers of Marxism in the church, and then do joint book signing with Lucas, before hanging with some wonder women like Sandy Rios and Nancy Schulze!

Christians should stand up and say no more to the toxic empathy that allows lives like Laken's to be stolen.

She deserved to have this marriage, these children, this faithful Christian life.

It was stolen from her. It was stolen from a man who should have had the opportunity to love her as his wife and from the children who should have had the opportunity to love her as their mom.

I pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship. No matter what challenges we face, I pray that our trust in God and love for one another overrules the obstacle.

May our relationship last forever,

Your future wife, Laken"

I pray God is at the center of our relationship, as it is a gift from Him. I thank Him for you before I even know you
and can't wait to love you in the best way I know how for the rest of our lives.

I pray that we continue to glorify the Lord, prioritizing Him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our family, our future family, to be God-fearing Christians as well.

so that I can best embody those characteristics.

I pray that you know it is with my full faith and trust in God that I know this relationship has been handcrafted by Him.

"To my future husband,

I want you to know that I'm thinking about you. I'm working every day to become the best wife I can be. I'm working through my current relationships to best prepare me for our's. I'm focusing on God and what He defines as a faithful Christian life…

What is wrong with you?

Really well put.

Of course, I’m an intrepid explorer, I don’t want to live in an echo chamber of my own ideas!

Well that is quite the topic shift!

See you’re talking about Twitter right here!
