In Travis county, you can shoot at other vehicles and kill people and the DA will give you 15 years.

I am not merely a Catholic by affiliation, I nearly walked the path to the priesthood. Scripture, to me, has never been casual reading; it has been studied with the care of a sculptor refining form; patiently, attentively, reverently.

And so I say this with both conviction and humility:

Prayer is not performance. It is not spectacle. It is a sacred act, an intimate communion between the human spirit and the divine. A means not only to speak, but to interface with the heavens, the hosts of heaven themselves.

When we pray, we approach with humility. With thanksgiving. With love. Just as one brings offerings into the house of the Lord, not in arrogance, but in surrender.

Which is why moments of public prayer demand even greater care.

When figures such as Paula White stand before the world in prayer, the expectation is clear: to seek wisdom, not validation. To ask that leaders like Donald Trump be guided toward justice, compassion, peace, and discernment. To intercede for the poor, the vulnerable, and the preservation of life. That is what true supplication looks like.

But to elevate any political figure especially during the sacred solemnity of Holy Week to a comparison with the sinless Son of God is not devotion.

It is error.

And more than that, it borders on blasphemy.

Likewise, when Franklin Graham invokes the Book of Esther as justification for the destruction of a modern nation such as Iran, it reflects not divine insight, but a troubling misapplication of scripture. Context matters. Theology demands responsibility. Sacred texts are not instruments for political ends.

Faith was never meant to be weaponized.

It was meant to guide, to correct, to humble.

And if we are to invoke God in matters of leadership and war, then let it be done with trembling reverence, not confident distortion.

Because the danger is not in believing too deeply but in believing wrongly.

I am ashamed, this is our Holy Week for Gods sake.

God have mercy.

This is why I have faith in the younger generation that they can fix what we and boomers screwed up. Preach young man. Stay focused!

Dear Christians: Jesus was not crucified for being conservative.

He was crucified for radically calling out injustice and oppression against the vulnerable, perpetrated by both religious institutions and their political counterparts.

I hope this rings a bell.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

@snakebit999 @KBock4444 @I_amMukhtar I think that was intentional, she’s all about grifting. There’s like 8 or 9 republicans in that primary. If she was serious about winning, she’d try a less crowded field

@CurrentRevolt The link for people to verify for themselves.

I can’t wait until tomorrow when Texas is done with this grifter

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

@CurrentRevolt Total grifter. Look at the candidate financials. She has zero cash in hand and there is about $29,000 difference from donations to cash distributions.

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

The first shots appear to be in the back cuz we can see his open jacket facing us as he falls. It’s hard to claim self defense when the man next to you is the one who disarmed him and your first shots were to his back. Just my opinion

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

Watching this video multiple times, it appears that gray coat reaches in and disarms the guy. Shooter is to his right with black beanie and unholsters his own gun as gray coat steps back after disarming. Black beanie then steps to his left and shoots.

[Furkan Gözükara @FurkanGozukara]

New leaked this 10 seconds clip extremely clearly shows how ICE agents first disarm and 100% neutralize the 37 years old white Alex Jeffrey Pretti and then shoots him

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Clearer image shows that the firearm removed from the scuffle by an agent prior to the shooting in Minneapolis was almost definitely the victim’s Sig P320, meaning he was unarmed when shot by agents with Border Patrol and Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE).

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

Gregory went from the saddest cat in the shelter, to spacecat superstar, to helping other animals in need, all thanks to you.

I almost can’t believe it, but today I was able to donate $10k to his former animal shelter.

Remember: even if you’re small, your impact can be large.

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

@jackjr43 @realDonaldTrump Nominations were due by January 31st. His public endorsements didn’t start until march-April. So unless he was nominated in his first 11 days in office, it’s impossible for him to get the award this year.

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

@POTUS @SpeakerJohnson are literally telling us which side they are on. You can’t be on the side of God and victims of abuse by protecting the evil predators. Stop protecting monsters and give the victims justice. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

As House Republicans & DOJ continues to block release of the files, Epstein victims speak out: “The files contain the names of powerful men who have been shielded because of their fame or fortune. Congress - will you continue to protect predators or survivors? Release the files!”

[Alex @CSIAlex_atx]

Our politicians protecting powerful predators is just disgusting.

They wouldn’t be ok with this if they had to be in an interrogation room with someone accused of such crimes or go into a room where a child was harmed to collect evidence like I did for my job.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

A cover-up in plain sight.

When people outside of Texas ask why we’re so loyal to a private company like @HEB…this is the reason. Every disaster we have, they beat the Red Cross there and do so much to help. Born and raised Texas right here!

[Texas Hemp Business Council @TexasHempBiz]

🎖️ Mitch Fuller of the Texas VFW is begging Gov. @GregAbbott_TX to veto SB 3.

158,000 veterans have died by suicide in 25 years—more than every war since Korea combined.
Hemp-derived products help veterans live.

📹 Watch and share his plea.

This is it. *THE* video to watch from yesterday's destructive supercell. Credit to Iskra Mahler for catching it on his drone from east Austin.

Edited to highlight:
1. Wall cloud over Austin with brief tornado attempt
2. Rare capture of a microburst
3. FFD ripping into the city

9 months ago Rusty lived on an incredibly short chain in Thailand. His life had been miserable for 18 months.

You won’t believe where I met him today and what he looks like… (1/7) 🧵

This Friday!!!!! $

I will be giving away cash from my personal pocket based on my P&L on Friday during Fast Markets!

Love giving back; it will be random to the traders who follow me here on X (Twitter) and share this post.
