Trump won Indiana by 20 points.
Republicans control 70% of the Indiana House and 80% of the Indiana Senate.
When GOP voters demanded fair maps, Indiana Republicans betrayed them -- then laughed in Trump's face.
Tonight, they all got FIRED.
LESSON to GOP: Play to win or go home
Story of the night for Republicans:
Redistrict or you won’t have a district.
Play to win or you’re gonna lose.
Don’t ever betray the base.
BONUS Lesson:
Bush-Cheney-McCain-Romney Republican Party is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD forever.
And it’s NEVER coming back.
.@POTUS: "I am pleased to announce that on May 17th, 2026, we're inviting Americans from all across the country to come together on our National Mall to pray, give thanks, and to... rededicate America as One Nation Under God." 🙏
RE: Somalian Childcare Fraud & weaponized Christian Theology...
It's become clear that for the last ~decade aspects of Christian Theology have been twisted and weaponized to advance evil (or keep people from opposing it), and a *lot* of those examples converge in the Somalian Childcare thing:
1) "The Bible commands us to welcome the stranger" was often misappropriated by progressive Christians to max-boost immigration, oppose any immigration restrictions, and DEFINITELY to oppose any consequences for illegal immigrants.
But as has been stated before, the Bible distinguishes between the role of the individual Christians (charity for all) and the role of the State (prioritizing justice for that nation's citizens).
This is why the same Bible that commands individuals to "welcome the stranger" and "love the immigrant" also blesses a nation in building a wall to protect its borders.
And in the same way a father has a responsibility to his children that he does not have for all children, and a pastor has a responsibility to his church he does not have for all churches... the leaders of a nation have a responsibility to the citizens of that nation that they do not have to care for other nations' citizens.
2) "When he returns, Christ will gather the glory of the nations" was often used to reinforce the progressive idea that all cultures are equally glorious and to be celebrated.
"What could be wrong with importing hundreds of thousands of Somalians? Yes, they're different but all human cultures are equally glorious, they just possess different glories."
But, the reality that Christ will bring in "the glory of the nations" does not mean that all human cultures are equally glorious.
All PEOPLE are equally valuable because they're created in the image of God, but not all CULTURES are equally glorious because what a culture becomes arises from what that culture worships. If a culture is built on top of godless or demonic ideologies (like Islam), it will not be morally equal to a culture built on top of Protestant Christianity.
Islamic Somalian culture is not equal in value to (or often compatible with) Protestant Christian culture.
3) "The Bible commands us to love the poor" is (very) often used to support max-boosting welfare programs, Christians throwing tantrums against any scrutiny toward entitlement programs, and used to support socialism-lite policies (such billions of $ to blank-check "childcare facilities")
But again, the Bible distinguishes between the role of the individual, church, family, and State.
And the Bible places the primary responsibility for charity on families (1 Tim 5:8), individual Christians (Matt 25), and the church (Gal 2:10, 1 Tim 5).
There are not examples in the Bible of God commanding human governments to forcibly redistribute wealth, because with governments, "You always get more of what you incentivize and less of what you penalize."
This is why when governments max-boost welfare programs, at-scale and over time it tends to CREATE more poverty rather than SOLVING it. For example, progressive cities / states that max-boost "care for the homeless" end up with cities overwhelmed by *more* homelessness; they do not end up solving homelessness.
4) Biblical commands against partiality and prejudice are often used to make Christians more scared of being called racist or Islamophobic than they are of allowing the destruction of their society.
But honesty about cultural realities and generalizations are not "prejudice" or "phobia." In the same way that it was not wrong for the Apostle Paul to say, "Cretans tend to liars, evil brutes, and lazy gluttons" (Titus 1:12), it would also not be wrong for someone to say, "Hey, Somalian culture tends to be heavily Islamic, low-trust, and high-fraud."
And then for governments to make wise decisions based on those realities.
^^^All of this to say, YES Christians ARE absolutely commanded to welcome the stranger, care for the poor, repent of all prejudice, and the Bible does say in the New Earth Christ will gather the glory of the nations... but those things do not mean what they have often been distorted and weaponized to DO in the culture war.
Frank Mrvan just voted AGAINST banning children from going through life-altering gender change procedures.
Newsflash for @RepMrvan: You can't call yourself a "moderate" and then vote for a position held exclusively by far-left lunatics.
All of a sudden, we have to have a national conversation about “illegal orders” the moment we have a President who uses the military to actually defend our country’s shores from a legitimate enemy for a change.
