Happy to announce my team and I have started a sports betting service! Where we spend hours researching stats, analytics, and more so you don’t have to. So if you love me, follow @betthewhistle and join our discord, maybe I make you a couple bucks 🤷🏼
Hey @VP, I have a bill to do that. It’s called the EXILE Act and it eliminates the H1B program entirely. Now tell Johnson and Thune to bring us back to DC so we can pass it!
VP RESPONDS DIRECTLY TO "YOUNG MEN WHO ARE P*SSED OFF"
"We institutionalized anti-white, anti-male discrimination in this country. Totally disgusting. There is a lot more work to do, but we are NOT discriminating against people."

Watch the bait-and-switch:
A) When the Bible is used to advance a “conservative” cause, it’s “evil Christian Nationalism” (that he’s spent his entire campaign decrying) or it’s “forcing your religion on other people” and must be FORECEFULLY DENOUNCED.
But when the Bible is used to advance a progressive cause, aw shucks it’s just me being Christlike, “speaking truth to power”, and seeking “justice” or “compassion.”
His whole campaign is, ”Christian Nationalism for ME, but not for THEE” and hoping you won’t notice.
B) What progressives do is take the commands Jesus gave to INDIVIDUALS and apply them to the GOVERNMENT.
When Christians use words like “caring” or “generous” they mean caring for people and being generous with their own resources.
When progressives use the words “caring” and “generous”, they mean “vote for the government to forcibly take OTHER PEOPLE’S RESOURCES at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.”
Of course, this *always* backfires because governments do not work like people and churches, so with governments you tends to get more of what you INCENTIVIZE and less of what you PENALIZE.
This is why cities and states that throw billions of $ at “solving homelessness” end up with MORE HOMELESSNESS, they do not “solve homelessness.”
This is a theology-nerd thing, but in general progressives want the government to do the roles of the church and individual (charity, compassion, care), and they want NOBODY to do the role of the State (administer justice and be a “terror to the wrongdoer”).
^^^this always results in societal chaos and darkness.
Further…
What Talarico (and other progressives) always do is selevtively edit Jesus, so that he becomes a mascot for their cause.
I can do a “when Jesus…” list too, but James won’t like mine…
- When Jesus defined marriage, he defined it as only between a man and a woman
- When Jesus talked about gender, he rooted it in biology, saying “he made them male and female”
- When Jesus talked about harming children (abortion), he said it would be better for you to have millstone tied around your neck and be cast into the ocean
- … that time when Jesus encouraged his followers to buy weapons for self-defense (Luke 22:36)
- Jesus’ family strictly obeyed the government’s border / migration / census laws.
- When Jesus talked about salvation, he said belief in him was the ONLY WAY
- When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t need a deductible… there were no insurance companies in AD 30, and Jesus was using miraculous power, not paying doctors. This would be like an anti-vaxxer saying “JESUS WASNT VACCINATED!” as justification for their position)
- When Jesus fed the hungry, he FED THE HUNGRY. He did not vote for the government to forcibly take other people’s stuff at gunpoint and redistribute it against their will.
I could go on and on and on and on…
The point is, Jesus is a LORD of the universe, not a MASCOT for your cause.
May regret this, but Christians have got to learn to think in categories, and there are 2 things that are both bad and often get conflated with one another...
1) Racism, defined in actual Biblical terms (racial pride or racial malice) and not defined in the progressive literally-everything-is-a-racism sense, is a sin and is wrong.
// Philippians 2:3, etc forbids conceit (for any reason)
// Titus 3:3, etc forbid "malice" (for any reason)
2) Governing leaders allowing mass migration to happen in a way that is bad for the citizens they were elected to prioritize and bad for the nation they were entrusted to protect (especially when it dilutes Christian influence on the country in a way that could tipping-point-doom-spiral that nation away from societal truth and goodness via creation of voting blocs)... is not good.
// In one of the least-P.C. verses in the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 28:43-44 describes mass migration leading to the ever-decreasing influence of the people of God in a nation as judgment on that nation:
“The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.”
While there is obviously continuity/discontinuity between the Old and New Covenants, this does show a shape of God's judgment and there's no way to read that as anything other than negative.
APPLICATION:
If you look at many responses to this pic, some people are doing #1 and when confronted about it, acting like they're just doing #2. If you're calling people "jeets", don't pretend you're having a strictly policy discussion with no malice involved.
Christless "conservatism" would death-spiral into the abyss, just like the already-Christless progressivism has. The center cannot hold.
And often, people are doing #2 and being accused of doing #1.
There's a difference between a religion and a race, and there's nothing wrong (actually, in many cases there's a *lot* wise) with not wanting certain belief systems imported into your country en masse.
And (downstream of the Biblical differentiation in the roles of the individual, family, church, and state) there's not anything wrong with the citizens of a country opposing the leaders of a country allowing mass migration to happen in a way that hurts their culture, school systems, effects scholarship and job opportunity availability to citizens, etc.
Christians CAN have debates about immigration policy and it not be "racist" at all... and all Christians are commanded to love and pray for the redemption of all people from every tribe, tongue, nation, and language, nailing every type of "malice" in their hearts to the Cross.
