Intressant och ögonöppnande artikel av Joel Halldorf.
Den kristna sionismen bygger på en eskatologi som saknar stöd i Bibeln och den kristna traditionen.
Det är dags att göra upp med den. Föreställningen om att grundandet av staten Israel är ett "tidstecken" skymmer sikten för vad som sker i Gaza.

Not a big fan of Governor Newsom, but this speech is 🔥🔥
This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.
Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.
This is how you want a leader to talk.

Reading Obama’s tribute to Pope Francis is a stark reminder of how far presidential dignity has fallen. Where there was once eloquence, compassion, and moral clarity, we now endure a swaggering caricature—petty, reckless, and painfully unworthy of the office.

It's 05.15 GMT and this is probably the best thing I'll read all day
In economics, as in geopolitics, Trump fundamentally misunderstands the limits of American power. It is at the centre of everything he does. The markets, the only real impediment to him now, may be about to teach him how wrong he is.
New writing from me.

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."
