Scientists investigate the laws of nature.
Philosophers investigate the nature of laws.

We need both.

They say that simplicity has no pastoral relevance...

My daughter: "[Our neighbor] said there's something in space that can destroy everything! It's stronger than God, It can destroy him!"

I explain how destroying breaks into parts, but God has no parts.

D: "God is stronger!"

How did modern culture begin to see human nature as oppressive? Which ideas and philosophers set us on a path toward rejecting what it means to be human?

What Trump promised: "I'll end Russia's war in Ukraine in 24 hours if you elect me."

What Trump did: "I tried to force Ukraine to capitulate and give Russia everything they want.

When that didn't work I ended all financial support to Ukraine, lifted sanctions of Russia, rolled out the red carpet for Putin, and doubled oil prices so Russia can have more money to continue the war."

Zelensky presents Ukraine’s robot soldiers to the world:

“For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones. No infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous area instead of a soldier & captured it”

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

A very explicit explanation of so-called US interests as perceived by the Trump administration: supporting Russia, denouncing Ukraine, confronting Brussels. Tell me who your political ally is and I'll tell you who you are...

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Putin feels the same way. Funny how that keeps happening.

[Dave Hale - Concerned Republican @CountryFirstRep]

This combined with JD attacking the leader of his own faith, at this forum...

Really demonic energy from this administration

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We also have experience in guaranteeing maritime security – objectively, the most current in the world. No one else has carried out missions like Ukrainians have in the Black Sea. When people talk about security in the Strait of Hormuz, it is often a theoretical discussion. Those who speak about it have not conducted such operations themselves. Ukrainians have. We have fought an enemy fleet, air strikes, and naval mines – we have been through all of it. And if partners offer us cooperation on equal footing, Ukraine can help.

Our naval drones, Sea Baby, Magura, and Sargan, are well-known, and this is Ukraine’s export offering too. As is our artillery, which we produce at the largest scale in Europe. As are our shells, which are now growing in numbers. As is our armor, which becomes more effective every year. All of this is delivered by our defense industry – our defense industry professionals, Ukrainian arms makers.

I thank everyone involved in this. In production halls, design bureaus, laboratories, test ranges, in production and repair – every day working for Ukraine. A strong Ukraine because it can defend itself. Modern, because it is changing the rules of the game. A Ukraine that matters because it can help others, and a Ukraine that is, in many respects, indispensable. All thanks to our experience, expertise, and technology.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The future is already on the front line – and Ukraine is building it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms – ground systems and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side.

Ratel, TerMIT, Ardal, Rys, Zmiy, Protector, Volia, and our other ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months. In other words, lives were saved more than 22,000 times when a robot went into the most dangerous areas instead of a warrior. This is about high technology protecting the highest value – human life.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The capabilities of Ukraine’s defense industry mean millions of FPV drones per year, our deep strikes, our interceptors, and millions of shells. Ukraine has its own long-range missile weapons. Not just in development, but a real force already at work. Flamingo and Ruta, Peklo and Neptune, Palianytsia and Vilkha – we can already be proud of all of this, but we will not stop here for sure. These are only our first steps – the industry will grow, and the enemy will feel it.

Everyone sees the historic long-range reach of our drones – striking 1,750 kilometers from our border. There will be more. And this is not about records – it is about justice that will find evil anywhere in the world. And our Sichen, Liutyi, Morok, Bars, Obriy, and FP are proof of that.

I regret to inform you the President has blasphemed again.

Imagine, for one second, what the reaction would have been if President Obama had posted something like this.

J.I. Packer opposed the classical doctrine of God in a few areas, but promoted fraternity with Rome in Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT).

R.C. Sproul promoted the classical doctrine of God (and said Aquinas was a “hero of the faith”), but strongly opposed ECT.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I accepted the letters of credence from the newly appointed ambassadors of Algeria, the Philippines, Australia, and Moldova. I congratulated them on the start of their diplomatic missions and thanked them for the support of our state and independence.

We discussed Russia’s war against Ukraine, the protection of our people, as well as the situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region. Our partners recognize the importance of our security mission and cooperation with countries currently facing attacks from the Iranian regime. Our goal is absolutely clear – we must strengthen security everywhere and do everything possible to end the war and guarantee reliable protection. We greatly count on coordination and mutual support. Ukraine is open to cooperation with all who truly value peace.

Yes. This shouldn’t be controversial.

NEW: Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sen. Chris Coons issue joint statement defending NATO after Donald Trump said he’s “strongly considering” withdrawing the U.S. from the alliance:

“The only time NATO has gone to war has been in response to an attack on America. NATO troops fought and died in Afghanistan and Iraq alongside American forces. The United States must not take this sacrifice – nor our allies’ commitment to make it again – lightly.

“Alliance disputes are as old as the alliance itself. Americans are safer when NATO is strong and united. It is in our interest for all allies to tend this unity with care. The United States joined NATO in 1949 when the Senate voted to ratify the NATO treaty, and the United States will remain in it. The Senate will continue to support the alliance for the peace and protection it provides America, Europe, and the World.”
