@DBryanRhodes The thing to remember is, $50k was a lot of money in 1990. From what I can tell the median household income was $30k. That’s 60% of $50k.
In 2026, the median household income is estimated at $89k. That’s 68% of $130k.
We do need to make way more than our parents. But we do.
@DavidAFrench I love how you guys are like, hey that one guy whose mom had him here while she was on vacation scored some soccer goals, let’s not have a country anymore!
And you actually think this is a serious argument.
The court has not made birth tourism legitimate. It has made itself illegitimate. Thomas and Alito are right. Congress must start acting now to remove all foreign women from the country immediately. And begin attaching pregnancy test to visa requirements.
Force the Supreme Court to confront the will of the people again and again and again.
Eleven years ago today, I helped plant Cities Church.
I served as a pastor there for 8 years.
This is a normal Baptist Church.
They worship Jesus.
They love each other.
They seek the good of their neighbors.
And the Left hates them and wants to shut them down, because one of their pastors serves his country in law enforcement, putting his life on the line to remove rapists and violent criminal illegal immigrants from our streets.
The Democrats are the party of lawlessness, of cultural decay, social disorder, and death.
It’s time for Christian boldness—for courage and clarity about Jesus and sin.
And it’s time for our governing officials to fulfill their mandate and become a terror to evil conduct. They do not bear the sword in vain.
That’s what our nation needs.
@bbwoofield@DBryanRhodes That’s true. Power is more of a magnifier of character - whether for good or bad. But when corrupt men wield great power there tends to be great abuses.
@DBryanRhodes That is a good point. I still think that the greater the power the more checks on that power there should be. For example, there is a vast difference in how much power a father has compared to a king. There ought to be many more checks on a king’s power.
@DBryanRhodes Ah, I see that you mean. However, would you not agree with the Founders maxim as a general rule? “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”
And I mean, in general, is that not the case, proven by history?
@MattWalshBlog@mehdirhasan If it weren’t for Islam, the marine’s hymn wouldn’t have the line “to the shores of Tripoli”. Single greatest contribution to American culture by Islam.
@DreadNate9 @Djkeene1 Warning by the elders that I am living in unrepentant sin (disobeying elders) and if uncorrected the next step would be excommunication. You could say I was disciplined (warned) but it never got to the next step because I compromised by attending our sister church.
@Djkeene1 I was threatened with church discipline for refusing to wear a mask during worship in 21 because it was contrary to what the elders wanted. Instead of forcing their hand I attended a sister church within the denomination that did not require masks. They were fine with that.
