@GlennJacobsTN @MEDICblood Good job Glenn

We’re living in a paradox. A paradox is two ideas that seem to be in almost in direct opposition, and yet they’re pushed together. If I advocate for unborn children and embrace a pro-life position, I’m called political. If I advocate for a biblical view of marriage, where the Bible presents marriage between a man and a woman, I’m called political. If I advocate for a biblical view of human sexuality, that God created us male and female, and I reject the narrative seeking to normalize the LGBTQ+ position, then I’m called political. If I believe that parental authority is more important than the opinion of the teachers’ union, again, I’m called political. If I object to pornographic books in the libraries of our schools and I call for them to be removed, I’m called political. If I advocate for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel and repudiate terrorism and antisemitism, I’m called political. When I say that illegal immigration is a bad thing, I’m called political. When I say the government shouldn’t censor our speech, close our buildings, or limit our opportunity to declare Jesus Lord of all creation, I’m called political.

But in contrast, if you are on the other end of the spectrum, it’s a different story. If someone declares that they are pro-choice and support unlimited access to abortion, we’re told they are advocates for freedom. If someone believes marriage may include any combination of persons, animals, or things, they’re celebrated as progressive thinkers. If someone believes a biblical worldview of human sexuality is wrong, too narrow, out of date, bigoted, or just plain unacceptable, they’re welcomed as modernist and progressive. If someone believes that teachers’ unions and governmental authorities should be the preferred voice in selecting content for our children’s classrooms, we’re told they’re enlightened. When someone places pornographic books in the libraries of our schoolchildren, they’re labeled champions of diversity. When someone demonstrates support of Hamas, demanding that Israel and the Jewish people be restrained, we’re told they’re social justice advocates. When the label “misinformation” is evoked and speeches are censored, or vaccines are mandated for employment, or churches are closed and casinos are open, the perpetrators are deemed warriors for public interest.

Now here’s the awkward part. Far too quietly, we go along. We don’t want to be labeled. We don’t want somebody to call us sexist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Islamophobic, and the list goes on and on. So we stay quiet, and we act like we don’t know what the Bible has to say. In our silence, we affirm their ideas that a biblical worldview really is antiquated and out of date. Maybe it was helpful for our great-grandparents, but we’re more sophisticated. We’ve lost our courage to talk about godliness. We’ve lost our heart to be advocates for honoring God and pleasing God.

It's time to repent of our cowardice and advocate for biblical principles in the public square.

@RapidResponse47 Was the topic he described a form of amnesty? A yes or no will suffice but I doubt @RapidResponse47 replies

🚨BREAKING: Dave Chappelle says he “feels better” and is in a good mood ever since Charlie Kirk was murdered.

During a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden as part of his Karmageddon tour, the comedian told the crowd: “I feel f***** up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered… and I shouldn’t say this publicly but, I feel better.”

He continued: “I know I shouldn’t say that but, it’s just a feeling. I didn’t ask to feel this way. I just be driving around like, ‘Why am I in such a good mood? Oh.’”

The remarks, captured on video and now circulating widely, drew laughter and some applause from the audience. Kirk was assassinated in September 2025 while speaking at Utah Valley University.

What a vile thing to say. Celebrating or finding relief in the murder of a public figure is not comedy. It is pure hatred.

@JongleurTrouver @_SarahGTaylor Stop minimizing what a Nazi is. Nazi’s exterminated millions of Jews via concentration camps in Europe. American Republicans nor Democrats are no where near the evil that Hitler and the nazis were.

Tens of millions of evangelical Christians stayed home and did not vote on Election Day. They determined they would be better off under the rule of Communists and Islamists. Good luck with that.

Last night was a sobering loss for Republicans. We owe voters an honest assessment of what happened—and the humility to listen. My read is that frustration over gas prices, the cost of housing, and the war in the Middle East weighed heavily. Families want affordable lives, security, and confidence in the future. We need to take their concerns seriously.

I believe these results reflect a pushback against the president and our party far more than an endorsement of the Democratic agenda here in Tennessee. But that distinction does not excuse us from examining our own shortcomings. We have to earn the public’s trust through both our conduct and our results.

For Republicans, the work ahead starts with getting back to basics: limited government, low taxes, free enterprise, public safety, and protecting family values. Those principles must translate into real improvements in people’s lives—good jobs, housing within reach, safe neighborhoods, and strong families supported by schools that prepare our children to succeed.

Our message must be about more than what we’re against. It must offer a hopeful, compelling vision of what we’re for and who we’re fighting for.

We should move forward with conviction, humility, and a willingness to work with anyone who wants to help our communities. The people we serve deserve leaders who listen carefully, speak respectfully, and deliver. That is where my focus will remain.🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you! We did it!!

THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR.

EXPERIENCE. AVAILABILITY. ETHICS.

For more than a decade, I’ve been actively involved in our La Vergne community. I’ve put in the time, built relationships, listened to residents, worked through challenges, and helped move our city forward. Serving as your mayor isn’t something I do only during election season. It’s a responsibility I take seriously every single day.

The difference is that I have a proven record of showing up, doing the work, and being accessible to the people I represent.

My opponent entered this race after being asked by a friend to run. That’s a very different starting point from years of community involvement, public service, and a demonstrated commitment to La Vergne.

Experience matters. Our city deserves leadership that understands our challenges and knows how to get things done.

Availability matters. Residents deserve a mayor who listens, answers questions, and is present in the community—not just when votes are on the line.

Ethics matter. Leadership requires honesty, accountability, transparency, and putting the interests of La Vergne residents first.

This election is about more than promises. It’s about a proven record, a commitment to serve, and the character required to lead.

I’m proud of the progress we’ve made, and I know there is more work to do. I’m ready to keep building on that progress and keep La Vergne moving forward.

On November 3, the choice is clear.

Experience. Availability. Ethics.

Vote Jason Cole for Mayor of La Vergne.

@KetoBen @BestNashTransit In a race where she is by and large the front runner with a large lead she has no upside to doing a debate. It only helps elevate her opponent. Regardless if the event is controlled or not she isn’t hiding in a basement.
