BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

"He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

The FBI will pursue investigations of multiple climate workgroups.
The crime? They received grants from the EPA under the Biden administration. The absurd claim is that they conspired to defraud the government -- by writing successful grant applications.

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

"America is not profitable." Seriously?
That's NOT the point.
The goal of our nation is MUCH more:
to form a more perfect Union
establish Justice
insure domestic Tranquility
provide for the common defence
promote the general Welfare &
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity

The math don't math, folks. Never has. Never will.
Stop expecting billionaire oligarchs to take up the cause and interests of the working class.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.
Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Peter calls us exiles, not empire-builders (1 Pet. 2:11). The church was never meant to be the ruling class—it’s a people set apart, a light in the darkness, a city on a hill.

The danger of chasing influence is that we can end up worshiping it. The Israelites made a golden calf when they thought God wasn’t acting fast enough.
Seven Mountains theology risks the same mistake—believing we must take control because God’s way is too slow.

How many of us had our lives saved or greatly impacted by the physicians and scientists funded by NIH dollars at any of the institutes mentioned below?
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

You're about to hear a LOT more about Seven Mountains Theology.
It claims that Christians must take control of seven key areas of society—government, media, education, business, arts, family, and religion—to establish God’s kingdom on earth. But there are some serious problems with this idea. 🧵↙️

The world resists change, feeding fear and cynicism. But hope isn’t naive—it’s defiant. Real hope isn’t in power or wealth but in Christ, who turns “impossible” into transformed.

While federal dollars are important to science, you can still support university research and international medical organizations.
And you should definitely seek qualified scientific opinions based on peer reviewed research and avoid the conspiracy hacks like the ones RFKjr continues to reference.

Want to talk about freedom? About justice? About what the government can’t do? Then know your rights. Read them. Understand them. Because if you don’t, you’ll end up arguing about things that were settled in 1791. And that’s just embarrassing.
