Being angry at Fauci or being angry at Israel isn’t productive anymore. The anger is justified, but without real accountability it’s just wasted energy—unless it’s directed effectively into a pursuit for positive change.
Trump won in 2024 because most Americans understood that wars in the Middle East are bad for the U.S. & that COVID was a crime against humanity. He built a historic coalition that promised, with conviction, that voting for Trump meant we’d get accountability, no more foolish wars, & an administration that would actually put America first.
Instead, we have a new war in the Middle East and Trump announcing he’ll honor Fauci’s pardon.
This is all infuriating, but don’t let it demoralize you—because it’s also clarifying.
We can declassify documents, stage hearings, and post talking points on the internet all day. But none of it matters when we have a justice system that refuses to deliver genuine, bipartisan accountability, impartial to political influence from any direction.
Right now, Trump has the ultimate power to pursue that accountability, and he’s choosing not to. That tells you everything you need to know.
We know who will hide behind performative outrage about Fauci, Iran, or the Deep State while taking no real action in efforts to shield their political careers—and we know who will actually stand up, fight, & tell the truth, no matter how uncomfortable the consequences may be.
The problem isn’t the War Machine, foreign interests trying to push us into war, or the Deep State & their pathetic apparatchiks like Fauci seeking to control us.
The problem is putting our faith in leaders, again and again, who lack the courage to fight them.

I’m not impressed with these hearings where Republicans traipse some corrupt scumbag out and yell at him for three hours. Yeah, he’s a corrupt scumbag. I agree. So why isn’t he under arrest? Why isn’t he facing any real consequences? Why aren’t you actually doing anything?
RFK Jr is now at the butt-end of President Trump's jokes tonight 🤣
"I hope that everyone finally got to enjoy their entire very delicious beef tenderloins.. and I want you all to know that Bobby Kennedy is right here, and he PERSONALLY ran over the cow in his car" ☠️
"And Bobby also suggested an appetizer featuring his favorite cut of male raccoon roadkill. But we drew the line at that.. we said NO."
These lists are always like “Yeah, the economy, housing affordability, and cost of living are better in these states, but they have a lack of trans health care so gotta put them below New Jersey.”
"It is the duty, as well as the privilege & interest of our Christian nation, to select & prefer Christians for our rulers."

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).
I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.
Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).
Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.
Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.
