I flit from topic to topic & back again. I speak love and sarcasm. My core values are honesty, authenticity, & a curious belief in something MORE. ✨🌱🌳🍂🙏🏻
You’re an American, you don’t have to be there.
“We” sounds like the UNITED STATES Ambassador considers himself to be an actual Israeli.
You didn’t HAVE to take the job, you aren’t a member of their citizenry, and the “we” you belong to is WE THE PEOPLE.
You could have used your Arkansas pastor self to preach the Good News of peace to the Jewish family of Yeshua. You could have encouraged the healing of the guard’s ear but you encourage the bombing of him instead.
You took the political way, the way of the world, the way of seats of honor, the way of the Senate and the Sanhedrin…not the Christ’s example way.
You encourage war then point the finger at others, and join the fearful fray when it’s finally above your head.
@SecKennedy@KathrynBurgum It’s a government site that is almost impossible to navigate and nothing even remotely looks like “Request for Information”.
If we need to comment on a specific document then you should link that, not just the main landing page.
This is apparently how smart men with intelligence, morals, wisdom, and honest life experience speak….
In crazy world!!
I don’t care what your politics are, is this really the mindset and emotional intelligence we want in the people leading our country and with access to incredibly sensitive information?
I know he’s back to being “just” a podcaster, but if we can’t speak honestly about the internal character of people who speak like this from public places, and what is says that they literally care so little about others and their reputation that they can type it, post it and not think to stop first….
We’re cooked.
Left, Right, up, down, brown, black, or purple…if this is how you speak in public, about and to others, without pause….you’re part of the problem and why we can’t heal and find equilibrium again.
No hot heads have ever made a positive difference to society.
Jimmy Dore has been trying to find evidence of male genitalia since his early childhood. He’s having a hard time because his missing chromosome has him starting ten meters behind the finish line. Jimmy’s momma has been caught telling friends she has no kids. It’s a shame. I pity him. It’s time for an intervention. Maybe if Tucker and Buckley stop jerking off Putin and the Islamonazis they could provide some help. Just a thought.
Hope you’re having a great weekend.
@yu_rajam Look up “soap water for aphids” and homemade “garlic and onion spray for plants”.
Soap water is a great treatment for little bugs. The garlic and onion spray makes the plants taste unpleasant to them also. Hope that helps. Happy gardening! 😊
The short skirts, sorority girl attitudes/behavior/postures, and metric tons of hair and makeup products are neither conservative nor Christian.
I’m genuinely baffled by the support of this, and that few to no elder women have thought to encourage these young women in what CONSERVATIVE means.
They have become of this world in so many ways.
But, I guess that’s to be expected when the new idol and CEO is a former beauty queen and reality start that can’t put down the hairspray and leave the camera’s view.
I don’t believe women should be silent or that we don’t have a place in business or the church, but the Proverbs 31 woman wasn’t at the city gate and in the spotlight. She was caring for her family, employees, and business in person and with humility.
Nothing about that conference was natural biblical femininity and womanhood. It was more like Stepford Wives and everything stereotypical about “MAGA face” podcasters.
Reality check: the people you claim to be in support of can never afford to do this.
“So many Americans” are doing this? No. Maybe in your high-income well-connected circles, but not in everyday America.
You are flaunting what money gives you access to. You aren’t just pointing out the absurdity of the U.S. medical system, you’re showing how outside of it YOU are.
Even you “helpers of the small guy” are out of touch. I’m not sure you guys fully understand the income gap in this world and that more and more and more of us cannot even afford a $250 dental co-pay.
You even have followers that can’t take the time off durning the day to even go to the dentist because they can’t afford the time off.
Medical tourism?? Get out. Don’t support that elitist top-tier trendy BS.
God gave you everything you need.
Jesus and the disciples didn’t use stem cells and IV vitamin infusions to restore health, life, and vitality.
To his regular human disciples (and to us) he said, “you will do this and more”… not “you will have medical tourism to do this for you in the future”.
Fellow humans, YOU are capable of reaching healing and health and vitality that doesn’t come from a trend or needles. Don’t be sorry you can’t afford a medical vacation, be glad you don’t actually need one.🙏🏻✨
I had a surprise special needs child at age 21. It was shocking and expensive and stressful when we realized I had to stay home and we were going to need assistance.
Sometimes I’m shocked and appalled by my fellow conservatives and those that would also call themselves Christians.
Yes, the money does get to the programs AND yes there is fraud.
Now what?
Churches aren’t feeding the poor, they’re putting on Broadway-style productions of the crucifixion instead.
The extra foods provided by WIC while I was pregnant and nursing, and to cover my daughter’s special formula for her feeding tube, that was $90/can in the early 2000s, was a literal life saver.
My husband and I were members of the praise and worship team of a fairly large evangelical church and it wasn’t the church that fed us, visited us, and sustained us. It was the state. It was WIC and Early Intervention, and medical transport and more.
The sweet young woman that came to visit and work with our daughter when she was a toddler is the one that left us a basket of food at Thanksgiving….not our own church.
You can say it isn’t the government’s job and their job is war….but then you have to face that YOU are the one leaving people hungry, cold, alone, and ashamed of their hardships.
To lament the help others receive when they’re in need is to be everything wrong with this world.
Need isn’t all laziness and greed.
Use wisdom not hateful judgement.
Your bias is hanging out.
This part says it ALL:
“Politics is a dirty business sometimes, one where you have to make compromises and shape the public narrative in order to achieve the best possible—rather than the perfect—outcome...”
This is the kind of thing you politicians think is okay that separates you from the honest normal people in society.
You do NOT “have to make compromises” and, to “shape the public narrative” is to MANIPULATE minds to the ends you deem “good enough”.
Even this article is a manipulation to shape the public narrative around Charlie and his beliefs.
Politics is of THIS world. It cannot be managed or manipulated or made into the image of God.
Jesus didn’t join the Roman Senate or the Sanhedrin and then do His works from inside a worldly system.
These days, “faithful” politicians and eager pastors/preachers/teachers think they are doing “God’s work” from the stage, podium, or pulpit of a prayer breakfast or faith summit.
Jesus worked in the streets and lives of the least of these.
He did not wear fitted designer robes, ride in carriages, or speak to “great” leaders of the world to get his message out.
You leaders that claim to work from a place of faith really need to read the red words of Jesus alone, over and over again.
This is not the example he set, at all.
This article is nothing more than the gilded tongue of the worldly elite trying to frame the narrative for their own praise and appreciation.
Shaping the public narrative indeed.
The interwebs are sucking my life force this week.
Time to go make a long weekend of nature, working with my hands, listening to music, and remembering that Life is about more than politics, tech, and endless news and drivel cycles.
We are small flecks of stardust living on a larger fleck of stardust warmed by a very small star in the great expanse. ✨
People are sick these days and it’s because they’ve ceased living and spend their days absorbing and regurgitating other people’s lives, attitudes, and aesthetics.
On your death bed, you won’t care that Hunter had a crack pipe, a YouTuber publicly announced their abortion, or yet another President put himself above the People.
You won’t care that they strung us along with UFOs and nuclear war threats and made us refuse to talk to anyone with different beliefs, ecological habits, or living situations.
You will simply wonder why you forgot yourself, your own life, and the wonderful questions of what comes next.
So…stop reading this and get off the internet already!
Bye 👋🏻
Nope. No.
Just because others jump off the bridge doesn’t make it smart or excusable.
Doctors are not prophets.
You two acted like scared, weak, selfish children and are getting the exact response you deserve for making it a public display of “woe is me”.
If it was “so hard” why make it so public knowing how the world feels about this issue?
You wanted the views, the follows, the sympathy, the clicks on your movie, and every other monetizeable thing you could connect to this “life event”.
Don’t EVER have children. Ever.
Nothing is easy, predictable, or guaranteed.
Maybe your next kid will get a head injury from a bike accident and, what, you’ll just take them out back to save the hardship of caring for them for decades? Where does this line of thinking end?
Seriously, your arguments are pure BS to keep from having to face the truth of what you’ve done.
Your wife will have cells from that baby in her body for the rest of her life. It doesn’t just go away.
Every time you see a human with an extra chromosome you will know you made a mistake.
A diagnosis isn’t a life sentence, it’s just part of parenting.
Something you will never be ready for with these ideas and attitudes.
So, every parent whose child becomes disabled after birth should just be able to kill them so they don’t have to keep taking care of them?
Every parent that has a surprise at birth should be able to just ask the doctor to stick some scissors in its skull and save everyone the trouble?
This is how selfish, self-absorbed, self-centered and unwilling to do hard things we’ve become.
Everyone wants the easy way out.
And everyone treats doctors like infallible prophets that can tell you what you and your child will experience.
NOTHING about parenting is easy!
You will wonder why you did it when cleaning up puke at 3am, while sitting in the classroom and finding out it’s YOUR kid causing trouble, when grandma had a fall and can’t be the vacation babysitter anymore, and on and on and on.
We don’t do it because it’s easy, smooth, convenient, and predictable.
We do it because some hard things are just worth doing even if we don’t benefit from it immediately.
I’m more center-right and I don’t like the attitudes and beliefs around it.
I see the tool it COULD be and have used it some myself, but I see us running full tilt toward dependence that weakens our wonderful minds that are capable of so much more than we’ve even tried for yet.
Our education system doesn’t meet the individual and bring them to full strength and capacity, so then the tech oligarchs claim this as a human weakness, limitation, and flaw that needs a boost from an artificial human creation.
The constant tech speech that makes us weaker and dumber than something we created, that is based on US and OUR outputs and previously created works, just feels gross. Like Trump calling it “Superior Intelligence”.
What if every mind were freed, unleashed, allowed to chase interests and abilities while young, and told they are amazing and capable? I’m sure we could outdo and out create ANYthing AI will “help” us with.
There are great minds trapped in poverty, trauma, and cultural conditions that don’t allow them access to learning materials. What if we set their natural abilities free instead of rushing ahead with ARTIFICIAL intelligence?
What if we valued slow creation, art that takes time, and the natural pace of unfolding that belongs to life on Earth?
Not much love of the Messiah in you. Not sure you understand what it is you claim to believe.
Can you imagine Yeshua saying this to ANYone? Do you really believe this is what love sounds like? You sound like the older brother lamenting the return of the prodigal. Check yourself because your contempt is showing.
My middle sister is a full blown leftist and yet she loves Russia.
She’s older than me so I got to spend a summer with her when she was in grad school and I remember her teaching me the Russian alphabet, some phrases, and some geography. She was getting a Master’s in Political Science with a concentration in Russian studies and to this day loves the Russian people and culture.
She will say that it is a shame how tied populations become to the behavior of their governments when we all know the leadership of every country only does what benefits the elites.
The idea that touching Russian soil is STILL bad is just what happens when septuagenarians and octogenarians are the ones still running the world and reliving the Cold War era. As evidenced by the return of Cuba to our news cycle.
This is going to be the easiest unfollow ever. My husband and I have been listening to you for many many years and can generally let go of areas where we don’t agree theologically.
However, this Russia Russia Russia turn and the crap you’re implying about some Americans and some relationships, while Trump’s own ballroom Czar and two-time appointee was at the SAME summit!!
Your views and engagement are in the toilet because you continue to believe that politics is what Jesus asked us to do. You care more about the goings on of the Sanhedrin and the Roman Senate than of the human heart.
You guys KNOW that as long as it has gender language it will never pass.
This isn’t about election integrity or voter registration. It’s a game.
A deliberate setup to not actually do anything about elections while blaming the left.
The right wouldn’t vote for it either if it had something like abortion coverage, no matter how much they agree about elections.
Stop pretending you don’t know what you’re doing and aren’t dragging it out and using it to make Dems look bad.
Does it still contain gender language? You guys know they will never vote for that and it feels like a setup to keep making it fail while blaming the left.
If you really want election integrity then keep the bill on JUST that.
Then you can blame them honestly if it keeps happening.
@benshapiro What’s really magical is the propaganda that a clean reflecting pool and reguilded statues are somehow a sign that we’re back, caring for AMERICANS, and our leadership has a clue what’s important to The People.
Be sure to ask Burgum if he knows how many Americans DON’T CARE.
