Prioritization is often necessary in practical decision-making, but when ordo amoris is used to justify apathy toward those beyond our borders, it ceases to be a biblical principle and becomes an excuse for exclusion. Love that stops at the border isn’t Christian love—it’s nationalism in disguise.

Jesus didn’t favor fellow Jews over Samaritans; he sought them out (John 4:1-42). And when he spoke of judgment, it wasn’t based on how well we cared for our own, but how we treated the least of these—including the stranger (Matt 25:31-46).

Governments, too, are called to prioritize their people (Rom 13:1-4).
But here’s the issue: Jesus never preached a rigid hierarchy of love. He radically expanded it. The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) wasn’t praised for prioritizing his own people—he was praised for breaking tribal barriers.

Gutting these programs won’t just mean lower taxes—it’ll mean a weaker future.
What happens when “efficiency” goes too far?

This isn’t just bureaucratic streamlining. It’s reckless.
Gov't isn’t just about spending; it’s about stability, security, and innovation. We invest in medical research, global stability, and disaster response because they make America stronger.

Could forcing thousands of air traffic controllers and aviation staff to quit or retire early lead to staffing shortages that increase risk?
• Did leadership gaps or reduced coordination between military and civilian airspace play a role in this tragedy?
These are questions that deserve answers.

As investigations unfold, recent decisions by the administration raise important questions:
• How does firing the heads of the FAA, TSA, and Homeland Security impact aviation oversight?
• What are the effects of disbanding the Aviation Security Advisory Committee?

Silence in the face of such blatant injustice is complicity. For followers of Christ, allegiance to God transcends allegiance to any political figure or party. If you truly believe in the sanctity of life, justice, and righteousness, you cannot turn a blind eye to this behavior.

For those who claim to follow #Jesus, this should deeply trouble you. Scripture calls you to uphold justice, defend the vulnerable, and seek truth. Yet, far too many remain silent, offering no challenge or opposition to actions that undermine these values.

If selling heroin online deserves mercy and leniency, why does trafficking it across a border make you a terrorist? This selective moral outrage underscores how ideology, privilege, and politics shape decisions, rather than consistent principles or genuine concern for the harm caused by drugs.

My brother lives in Sherman Oaks and he's been using an app called Watch Duty to track the wildfires and the evacuation orders. That's where I got the screen shot of the Hayes Fire. Stay safe out there!

Regardless of what you call it if Dems don't figure out how to reframe their vision to provide an on-ramp to these folks, they'll continue to lose ground around key demographics needed to win elections.

Based on that twisted logic, #Texas should stop asking for federal support every time their poorly designed electric system implodes due to ice storms. Stop playing #politics with disaster relief. Do better #GOP

That's a helpful reminder as I look to expand my business this year. It's ok to take a step back to ensure the longterm viability of my business.
