Ever heard of Al Qaeda math? If you have 4 terrorists and you kill 2 of them, how many do you have left? 10, because now you have the brothers and cousins of those you killed. During my time in the military, I have heard this repeated many times as a joke. It’s true though.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

…and we still call this “the good war.” If there's one thing we have mastered as a society in the US, it’s propaganda.

I can't believe this is happening... the pre-orders are now live for the e-version of my book! The paperback should not be far behind. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FDMCNPYD

History has a predictable rhythm... Gulf of Tonkin, WMD's in Iraq and now this... I hope they fail in their warmongering efforts.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

These are the "criminals" being kidnapped by the Gestapo. His crime? Owning a successful business in Oregon. Meanwhile, the J6 criminals were pardoned by the fascist, along with other criminals. Cartel members and white supremacists were welcomed to our country, though, by the criminal in the WH.

A stateless refugee brought here as a child, who has been doing everything possible to keep a low and law abiding profile is now slated for what they insist on calling deportation. Fascism is the new normal. www.keranews.org/immigration/...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Oh look! Another lefty liberal drag queen has been caught distributing child porn. Wait, uh, say that again? We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please stand by while we figure out how to bury or spin this.

It's truly sad and very fascist that we no longer have a U.S. Army that fights for the U.S. Constitution but instead shows their loyalty to a fascist while they boo and jeer people who aren't fascists. All while in uniform. Shame on the Army for allowing this at all. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Trump filed a response to California’s lawsuit, containing glaring mistakes such as a blank table of contents and authorities. The filing was met with mockery from lawyers on social media, highlighting the administration’s lack of attorney resources or competence. www.rawstory.com/trump-califo...

I am writing a book... a memoir of transition from being raised in a fundie cult, becoming evangelical, joining the military, and now a veteran opposed to violence. If anyone is interested in proofreading/critiquing it, I would appreciate any input I can get. Just DM your email. TIA!

I grew up believing Dems would manufacture a crisis and use it to deploy troops into US cities. Seeing that materialize, but under the opposite banner is irony I lacked ability to imagine until Trump. STOP USING TROOPS AS POLITICAL PROPS!! - A 3x deployed veteran www.reuters.com/world/us/mar...

Only 2 months ago, Trump denied asylum to those who placed themselves in harms way supporting US forces on the (false) assumption that things had improved in Afghanistan. Now, we won't accept any travel from said country because the Taliban is still in charge 🙄🙄 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

It's happened for a third time, Christians advocating for those on the margins are being arrested. Side note: after my experience in hospitals, I challenge Mike Johnson to spend one day engaging with hospital patients. It'd cure his "let them eat cake" attitude. religionnews.com/2025/06/02/f...

As a Chaplain intern at the hospital, some of my most meaningful experiences have been patients who requested Communion. It hasn't happened many times, but I can vividly recall each occurrence. It seems fitting that today, the final visit of my third unit was to a Lutheran requesting the elements.

Asking “is ______ a sin?” is misses the point. You’d be hard-pressed to find the word “sin” used with an indefinite article in the Bible, cuz sin ain’t really about a list of rules. Sin is the destruction of shalom. The point ain’t to avoid “sinning.” It’s to not live in sin.
