News reports say the Tate brothers arrived in the U.S. by private jet. I wonder who loaned them that jet. Seems newsworthy.

Wow. From an email sent around by appalled USAID officials: "The termination to contracts, grants, and assistance agreements over the last two weeks and the huge bulk last night were not done according to federal laws, regulations and procedures..." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-midnight...

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Amazes me that some just want him to take the video down as though he isn't showing them all who he really is by posting it in the first place. He's showing you he's a terrible person folks, and that won't change just because he takes the "I'm a terrible person" sign down.

This is like a surgeon telling you he's not sure what he's operating on, but he'll just open you up and dig around and if he nicks an artery or two, never fear, he'll just stitch you up and figure stuff out as he goes along.

God is my strong salvation; what foe have I to fear? In peril and temptation my light, my help, is near. Though hosts encamp around me, firm to the fight I stand; what terror can confound me, with God at my right hand? -James Montgomery

Christians who supported Trump, you elected a reprobate with an extensive association with reprobates, and you somehow expected justice, law and order, protection for yourselves, wives, daughters, granddaughters? He is a deviant surrounded by deviants, and you embraced him.

"Weep, yes, grieve; be angered, work for reform. But don’t get cynical. Don’t get demoralized. Don’t give up. The gospel is real. The stories are true. Christ is risen, and Jesus saves. That’s reason enough to keep standing." - @drmoore.bsky.social

When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; when the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea, thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me. -Charles A. Tindley

Friends, our president is an insane megalomaniac. If this doesn't open your eyes to that you're in denial. But we all need you to wake up and open your eyes. Understand he is a danger to us and to the world. Stand up, speak out, and NEVER normalize this.

God of mercy, God of grace, show the brightness of Your face. Shine upon us, Savior, shine; fill Your world with light divine; all Your saving health extend unto the earth's remotest end. -Henry Francis Lyte

The United States is literally for sale

You first.

Have faith in God though all else fail about you Have faith in God, He provides for His own He cannot fail though all kingdoms shall perish He rules, He reigns upon His throne He cannot fail, He must prevail Have faith in God, have faith in God -B. McKinney

Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a weary land, a weary land; My Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm. Yonder comes my Savior, Him whom I love so well; He has the palm of victory, And the keys of death and Hell. -anon.

Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That his Word is never broken. J. Olearius, C. Winkworth

Believers are meant to advocate for truth and justice, stand against oppressors, act wisely for the good of others. Aiding and abetting the installation of this Trump regime is the antithesis of that. If you helped this happen, you need to stand up now and seek to rectify it.

Kash Patel as FBI director; Dan Bongino as deputy director. It is well-nigh dystopian. It is like the sabotage of our government, rather than the staffing of our government. I wonder whether even some Republicans, somewhere, have to gulp.

"What could provoke a revolt of at least a few Republicans? What about the attempted betrayal of Ukraine? Half of the Republicans on the Hill voted for aid to Ukraine less than a year ago. Are they going to do nothing to prevent a free Ukraine from disappearing?" www.thebulwark.com/p/trumpism-i...

"Do the commonest and smallest things as beneath His eye...We are doing more good than we know, sowing seeds, starting streamlets, giving men true thoughts of Christ, to which they will refer one day as the first things that started them thinking of Him." -George Matheson

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us. Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us. Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won. - James Weldon Johnson

We praise thee, O God, for thy Spirit of light who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night. Revive us again, fill each heart with thy love. May each soul be rekindled with fire from above. Hallelujah! Thine the glory, revive us again. -William Mackay

Clear-eyed Christians, Scripture says "the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth to show himself strong for those who are wholeheartedly devoted to him" (2 Ch. 16:9). Let's work to grow in him and shine a light in the darkness. I truly believe he'll bless that faithfulness.

O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here’s my heart; O take and seal it; seal it for thy courts above. -Robert Robinson

We need to pay attention here. If you thought you could coast through this, think again. All of us need to stand up and speak out. The systematic dismantling of our nation is happening right before our eyes, aided by a neutered Congress. Call them out. Speak up.

Way back in '16 when Trump said something in a debate about how the military wouldn't defy his orders, I sounded the alarm on FB and got back a bunch of comments along the lines of he'd never order them to break the law. Guess what, folks...

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Christians who supported Trump: it is vital that you lift your head out of the sand, stop sitting in your info silo, and pay attention to what you ushered in. Trump is a danger to this nation and the world. Open your eyes and do whatever you can to right this wrong.

He leadeth me: O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. He leadeth me, he leadeth me; by his own hand he leadeth me: his faithful follower I would be, for by his hand he leadeth me. -J. Gilmore

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all to true repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey, Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him, And the hills bow down to greet him. -J. Olearius, C. Winkworth

Christians should never have supported such a man. It has been a tragic display of willful defiance. He’s everything we were told to stand against and yet has practically been deified by Christians. Whatever harm he wreaks is, in part, on the hands of a wayward Church.

Oh, grant my spirit to renew That I may speak with soothing pow'r A word in season, as from you To weary ones in needful hour Oh, fill me with your fullness, Lord Until my very heart o’erflow In kindling thought and glowing word Your love to tell, your praise to show -F. Havergal

How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who become involved in falsehood. -Psalm 40:4

Perfect submission, all is at rest. I in my Savior am happy and bless’d, watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long. -Fanny Crosby

My friends, he is openly, without hesitation or even a hint of conscience, telling you they are trafficking in propaganda. Think for yourselves. Stop believing people who are so brazen and arrogant they will confess to your face and expect you to remain loyal them.

Trump has nothing good in him. Nothing. In all the decades he has been in the public eye, he has shown himself to be utterly debased, morally decrepit. And Christians who are called to what is right, virtuous, just, and good made that man president, to the Church’s lasting shame.

While life’s dark maze I tread, and griefs around me spread, be Thou my Guide; bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow’s tears away, nor let me ever stray from Thee aside. -Ray Palmer

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword His truth is marching on Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on -Julia Howe

America First isn’t pro-American. If you think that isolationism won’t one day come back to bite us, you haven’t paid attention to history.

Fact check: nearly 70 percent of US money for Ukraine actually went to US defense industry to replenish the stocks of OLD stuff that went to Ukraine to use. Much of which we would have paid to destroy as their lifespan expired.

There is a place of comfort sweet, near to the heart of God, a place where we our Savior meet, near to the heart of God. O Jesus, blest Redeemer, sent from the heart of God, hold us, who wait before thee, near to the heart of God. -Cleland Boyd McAfee

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill and ev’ryone a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky. -F. Lehman

Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain, There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day. -Charles A. Tindley

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! -Reginald Heber

Trump is absolutely without a doubt the worst negotiator in American history and it’s not Even close. Seriously
