Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany on Saturday accused Vice President JD Vance of unacceptably interfering in his country’s coming elections on behalf of a party that has played down the atrocities committed by the Nazis. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/w...

"Has Vladimir Putin ever had a better few days in Washington?" writes @sbg1.bsky.social. "Donald Trump, just four weeks into his second term, has executed a breathtaking pivot toward Moscow." www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

I found a few sensible souls out on the trail during the Super Bowl yesterday. Far from New Orleans, the woodstove was shedding its convivial warmth in the Swampy Lake shelter.

Is it any surprise that low-information voters are low-information appraisers of the eroding of the superstructure that they take for granted and benefit from? Next it will be: "We didn't know that...." "We didn't realize that...."

From. The. Rooftops. You're not going to find a magic money-printing machine that will give you these types of reliable returns year-after-year. NOAA and NWS don't just keep us safe - they create immense value for the American taxpayer.

So now they're moving on to NOAA. What could go wrong? Look, you've each got your own black sharpie. Download a map and personalize your weather. It's your own truth.

Thirty-five years ago (could it be?), my friend William Dyrness published How Does America Hear the Gospel? I think it's time to give that a go again.

For this perverse man, it will be a gilded Gaza, tricked out with all the enchantments of mammon. A developer's dream of first-class properties. You know, casinos, golf courses, beach-front resorts. I mean, let's be pragmatic. The Palestinians have "no alternative."

A bit of backcountry ski touring in the Cascades yesterday morning. Silence, winter glory, and a little friend (who tried to rob my fig bar).

It's Gulf of Mexico! And Denali! (Next he'll come for the Strait of Juan de Fuca...when he learns of it. And he'll be outraged by the Salish Sea.)

The Bible is taking a lot of abuse today in D.C. Just another day in its long history. (Subversively, this speaks of its power.)

What Republicans such as Trump and Johnson are proposing is repugnant, small-minded, and un-American.

Someone needs to produce some Sen. Markwayne Mullin MAGA inspirational posters. "Who among us hasn't cheated on our wife, and the wife after that, and the wife after that... shown up drunk to work, proved radically incompetent,... Who are we to judge?" I'm sure you could make a killing.

The man who sat at the center of the conspiracy to overturn the election — who summoned the mob that attacked the Capitol — emerged immune and unscathed. The chief perpetrator of it all is about to return to the office he left in disgrace and ignominy. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson Falsely Attributes Prayer to Thomas Jefferson - I have updated the post to reflect more information about who did write the prayer. Before Jefferson, Washington was credited with the prayer. However, neither president wrote it. open.substack.com/pub/warrenth...

I'd read a bit in Katherine Sonderegger's *Systematic Theology* before (in digital) & savored her theological reading of Scripture. But now having the real book and pen in hand, I'm captivated by her approach (elucidated in the final chapter). Wonderful.

For crying out loud Not only is this a fake Jefferson quote, but it's out of character. Over 20,000 Jefferson documents are online. He wrote "Jesus Christ" in only 13. One is a list of books He created his OWN version of the Bible. He also supported the separation of church & state. So...stop.
