In the simplest terms, according to the Bible, God wants us to:
Love God: Worship and obey Him with all our heart, soul, and mind (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37).
Love Others: Treat others with love, kindness, and justice, as we would want to be treated (Matthew 22:39; Micah 6:8).
Follow Jesus: Believe in Him, follow His teachings, and share His message (John 3:16; Matthew 28:19–20).
Care for Creation: Steward the earth and its resources responsibly (Genesis 1:28; 2:15).
Live Righteously: Seek holiness, humility, and faithfulness in our actions (1 Peter 1:15–16; Micah 6:8).

1st DiJonai says her immediate tweet "white privilege" was not about her ejection. Now Stephanie White claims she did not see the play "in real time," spoke about it afterward without seeing replays. WHAT??? SHE'S THE HEAD COACH! Preposterous insulting excuses. This league.
So, what you're saying is that to be truly trans you have to got through hormone therapy and sexual reassignment surgery? Someone just can't identify as trans? Am I getting it right? And so, those who just identify are not their chosen non-biological sex and therefore not trans. Got it.
As a progressive, I fully support Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves for the WNBA.
I only ask that they commit to the bit.
Medically transition. Take HRT, take blockers. Show us what your performance looks like when your body is at a deficit of both testosterone and estrogen.
Do this for 2-3 years. Then show up to open tryouts and show us all how well you perform after gaining 30% in fat mass and losing 5% muscle mass.
Go ahead Enes and Royce, chemically transition, or STFU.
I don’t support student loan bailouts. I support making loans FAIR. If you borrowed the money, pay it back, but the federal government shouldn’t make a fortune off the interest. Cap it at 2%.
What $TSLA is doing is building out their network, their infrastructure, their personnel and their tech bottlenecks for Robotaxi squared away.
Then this is all taken care of, this is when they launch wide scale and at speeds never seen before.
Slowly and then all at once.
10% per week is something they’ve been able to keep constant for the services growth.
