When Christians decide not to suffer for the good news of grace, compassion, and love, they invariably become oppressors, causing the "least of these" to suffer instead. When your beliefs are too shallow to require self-sacrifice, you sacrifice others.

Okay, I don't know how effective DEI ever was... But the idea that it was bad for merit lacks the acknowledgement that it was always about cronyism before DEI anyway. And now we are getting back to cronyism. That getting rid of DEI will improve merit based hiring is absolutely laughable.

I get that experienced business guys could spot inefficiencies. But this chaotic approach is not a sign of know-how at all. Neither Trump nor Musk are the right people for that job. Also, if they want to balance the budget, first they should pay their share of the taxes. Also...

A few notes: 1. Damn, other than lying about oil exports, Pierre Poilievre almost sounded like a liberal in Vancouver. Haha. Wishing for democrats to win in swing states in mid-term elections? He is truly a turncoat snake oil salesman. But he knows he needs to create some distance there. 1 of 2

Republicans in Tennessee have passed a bill that makes it illegal to stand for convictions different than those the Republicans endorse. This is the opposite of freedom. It is all about controlling others and what they are supposed to believe. The danger of religious conservatism being... 1 of 3

I see so many of my Canadian friends sharing clips praising the current USA government for its extreme "USA First" agenda. It is an agenda that, when implanted so rapidly, is going to create chaos for many, especially Canadians. So I am wondering, are these Canadian... 1 of 3
