Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

I'm working my way through Ecclesiastes this year. Today as I was reading I was thinking about the Spirit of Wisdom mentioned in Isaiah 11. I know there are plenty of things to be pressed and stressed about, but I feel the Lord calling his children to fix our eyes on something greater.

“As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that job.

Bravo, @anntelnaes.bsky.social. I guess the new slogan for the Washington Post ought to be: “Newspapers die in cowardice.” anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

I find it astounding how since I was a child, I was given a general impression by my church community and leaders that Carter wasn't a "real Christian," but now as an adult I find that he just wasn't a "real Republican."

My question is, did Apple TV buy the rights to A Charlie Brown Christmas because they're big fans, or did they buy exclusivity so they could suppress its exposure and limit its airing? There's no way this is a big win for them, and it's a big loss for families in the United States and Canada.
