Seems relevant: "He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. "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

Amen!

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.

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?

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. 🧵↙️

Christian Nationalism is a sin. White Nationalism is a sin. White Christian Nationalism is anti-Christ. Notes available.

You are making a difference. Otherwise they wouldn't want you out of their way.

The story is not the borders. It's hardly ever the border. The story is USAID and the Department of Education. The story is OPM and Treasury. The zone is flooded. #misdirection

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. #RealizedHope #DefiantFaith

Hope is often met with resistance. Systems cling to control, cynicism mocks belief, and misplaced trust leads us astray. But real hope isn’t in power or wealth—it’s in Christ, who transforms what the world says can’t change. #RealizedHope #FaithOverFear

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.

Imagine getting into a heated debate about "rights" only to realize you’ve never actually read the Bill of Rights. Awkward.

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.

This is wrong.

This isn't about your politics. This post is about inaccurate information, especially where it coincides with my areas of expertise. None of this is scriptural. None of this is Christian. None of this is accurate.

Genocide is never okay. When you hear somebody talking like that, call it what it is. " That's N*zi propaganda." "If you're going to spew N*zi garbage you can leave. It's not welcome here." ""This conversation is over. We do not entertain genocide here."

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

And that same God sent prophets to stand before the earthly thrones and speak truth to power. #Nathan&David #YouAreThatMan

If your federal program was ended or curtailed, would you post something to that effect? #FederalCuts

There's no such thing as "toxic empathy." He's mistaking a prophetic voice rebuking wrong-headed discipleship for someone being mean and nasty. Beth Moore is a courageous voice in a sea of scared men who are terrified that they are losing their power. Sean is wrong here. He's wrong a lot.

Auschwitz did not happen overnight. It was a long, slow, and meticulous process.

Express your sentiments. Wear your credentials if you must. But keep your legislation out of our churches. We see you. #firstamendment https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/59/cosponsors

I strongly urge the reading of the 1st Amendment for these short-sighted and ill-informed politicians. No matter your opinion on this matter, I hope we can all agree that the right to openly and loudly disagree with our government is the cornerstone of our democratic republic. This is ridiculous.

Fox News: The church is in trouble because it is focusing on "wokeism", you know stuff like "helping people of different race, or sexual persuasion, whatever, instead of focusing on The Word." my sister in christ have you ever opened a bible?

The act was hideous and evil. The systems that shaped it and formed it are hideous and evil. When a culture worships guns and death, these are the sacrifices that we offer. It is past time to repent. www.tennessean.com/story/news/c...

To be crystal clear: Racism and bigotry are sins. White Nationalism is a sin. Christian Nationalism is a sin.

EVEN IF we were to believe it was a Roman salute or an autistic stim, shouldn't he be the one saying it? AND there's ZERO renunciation of the actual Nazis and White Nationalists who are touting it as a win. Don't get stuck in the sentence when the paragraph and chapter is saying so much more.

Are you a coder? Do you know know one? Wanna make the world a better place?
