Watching OKC vs Spurs game 7 made me realize one thing:

I’ve seen Wemby try to flop for more contact than I’ve seen the entire OKC team.

But we don’t usually hear about do we? 🤔

Ethical

Thunder haters will see these plays, deny the fouls, then call the Thunder floppers saying:

“The Spurs play pure and ethical basketball”

“The Thunder play way too physical”

“The refs are rigging the series”

Delusion is at an all time high

If Trump is going to spend huge amounts of political capital on something ugly and difficult but necessary, it should be mass deportations of every single illegal alien regardless of age or criminal record, and defying every judge who tries to stop him. That is the kind of war, the kind of risky move with potentially disastrous political ramifications (but maybe not), that I would get behind every step of the way and so would millions of ordinary Americans. It’s an extreme measure that must be done and if Trump doesn’t do it, it’s likely that no one ever will.

Hello Senator Thune,

Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."

You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.

Here's how we know:

Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.

Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:

Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.

Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.

Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.

Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.

You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.

Now let's talk donors:

• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants

Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."

Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.

We see the loop.

You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.

What we want:

1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.

YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.

You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.

Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

We are now getting trans mass shootings multiple times a month. Per capita these are the most dangerous people on the planet. There's no question about it. Unstable. Delusional. Liable to lash out at any time. Trans ideology must be treated as the threat that it clearly is.

Reporter: "Now that the SAVE Act has officially passed the House, can we count on you to join in to support it in the Senate?"

Democrat Senator Patty Murray: "NOPE"

Reporter: "Why not?"

Murray: -Walks away-

Democrats want to CHEAT. That's why.

So I’m supposed to be outrage about an Obama monkey meme while Democrat elected officials are labeling the entire white race “oppressors” and openly plotting to conquer and subjugate us? Trump can post all the memes he wants. I really don’t care at all.

Iryna Zarutska was butchered to death on a train in Charlotte by a career felon with 14 prior arrests. Her death was the direct result of leadership failures and bad policy. Jimmy Kimmel never mentioned her name, much less cried on camera about it. These people are sociopaths. They don’t care about human life. Their emotions aren’t real. They aren’t even capable of experiencing real human emotion at this point. It’s all a game to them. It’s all performance. Kimmel isn’t just a bad comedian, he’s a bad person. Rotten to his core.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

I don't know if the Ilhan Omar thing was staged or not. There's certainly plenty of reason to be suspicious. We know that leftists do these kinds of hoaxes all the time, and Somalis are notorious scam artists. We'll see.

What I do know is that leftist agitators are out in the streets every day accosting law enforcement officers and nobody on the left condemns it. Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and they celebrated. Now Ilhan Omar gets sprayed with a liquid and we're supposed to treat it like a national tragedy. Ilhan is going around calling herself a "survivor." Democrats are issuing dramatic denunciations.

It's all fake. Even if it wasn't staged (though it may have been), it's still fake.

Christians, you have got to stop being so gullible. Seriously, your naivete might feel warm and nice and friendly, but that's not how Christian love works.

A friend shared a viral post that listed all the un-Christlike things ICE is supposedly doing, such as using "children as bait," "shooting unarmed protesters," "teargassing families," and "terrorizing immigrant communities and people of color."

The whole post goes on and on like this, and it's dripping with moral outrage and emotional manipulation. What troubles me is that so many people share this like it's wise and insightful. This is textbook emotional ambush. No argument, no evidence, just big feelings.

But I'll tell you what isn't Christlike, and I've got scripture to back it up. Being GULLIBLE.

It isn't Christlike to be gullible. It isn't Christlike to believe and share debunked propaganda. It isn't Christlike to be led by your emotions. It isn't Christlike to outsource your critical thinking skills to the leftwing activists in the mainstream media.

So why are Christians so gullible? It's because they've been trained to think love means whatever it feels like in your happy place. If you do something that *feels* compassionate and think that's what Jesus wants you to do, you're wrong. Biblical love isn't about pointing your emotions in a particular direction. Rather, biblical love is defined by actions and attitudes prescribed in scripture. How you feel about it is of secondary concern.

What does the scripture say? "And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ." (Philippians 1:9-11)

First, notice what Paul prays for: that "your love may abound more and more." Clear enough. We're talking about genuine Christian love. But Paul qualifies it.

Second, "with knowledge and all discernment." In other words, Christian love is a thinking love. To discern is to make proper distinctions and draw clear moral boundaries. But why is that important?

Third, these things matter so "you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless." In other words, we need knowledge and discernment to anchor our love in what is good and right. Or as Paul says, to "approve what is excellent."

This sort of discerning love is "pure and blameless." If love lacks discernment, then is ceases to be pure and blameless. In fact, undiscerning "love" is not real love. It is all feelings and no wisdom. That's what we're seeing in Minneapolis. Christians claim to be "loving the stranger" without understanding proper biblical categories. It's love without discernment, and it's causing a lot of harm.

Paul's prayer is for love PLUS knowledge PLUS discernment. Love requires discernment. Period. Discernment is the rope that keeps people tethered to reality. Without it, love becomes a weapon that evil people use against you.

Without discernment, love gets twisted into a sentimental monstrosity. For the gullible and undiscerning, this kind of pseudo "love" claims the moral high ground. It does have some rhetorical advantages, which is why so many people fall for it. It sounds biblical enough to convince undiscerning people it must be right. But it's not. These are not arguments or facts. They are ear tickling slogans, nothing more.

Discerning love is pure and blameless. Undiscerning love is impure and blameworthy. It's obvious that the unhinged rioters and agitators bear the blame for their actions. But their Christian enablers bear some of the blame too. To claim the mantle of Christlikeness in service of lawlessness is evil, even if the one doing it is simply misguided.

The blame belongs to those Christians who are so desperate to feel compassionate that they'll believe anything, question nothing, and call it love.

Christians, we are morally responsible for how we love. We don't just get to feel sorry for an illegal immigrant and "stand up" for them and call it love. That's not love, no matter how strongly you feel it. Love does not spread leftist propaganda, "love rejoices with the truth" (1 Cor 13:6).

So, for all the gullible Christians who are angrily venting about ICE, your Christian love is not pure. It is not blameless. You are functioning as agents of chaos. You bear the blame for your irrational outrage.

So I'll say it again. Being gullible is a sin. Being undiscerning is a morally culpable act. It is wrong to carelessly wield the name of Christ, making false accusations against law enforcement and making excuses for criminals.

Your emotions and subjective ideas of Christlikeness don't dictate reality. Truth does. And truth requires discernment, not just feelings. We don't get to emote all over the place and call it love.

So Christians, stop being gullible. Start being discerning. That's what real love requires.
