@xmikemac Thank you 🙏🏻
It’s a cross, not a country club. The cross comes with splinters.

[Mike Mac @xmikemac]

Let me be blunt with these postliberals — Christianity isn’t true because Christians inhabit a ‘coherent story’.

Christianity is true because the story actually happened.

Jesus didn’t rise from the dead because the Church developed a meaningful “grammar” around resurrection. He either walked out of that tomb or He didn’t. Paul says it plainly: if Christ wasn’t raised, our faith is worthless.

Period.

That matters in our political system, too. Once truth gets grounded in some weird internal logic of a community, the next question becomes: which community gets to define the public good? Some of these political postliberals cats openly argue that our government should move beyond liberal neutrality and ORDER society toward a more substantive “common good.”

Yo! That right there is where this Protestant American says: absolutely freakin’ not.

I want Christianity preached boldly. Yes, I want Christians influencing culture. Yes, I absolutely want Scripture proclaimed without apology.

What I don’t want is Caesar deciding what Christianity means.

The minute this government starts enforcing “Christian order,” somebody’s got to decide which Christianity gets the badge and the gun. The Catholics? No thanks. Reformed? Baptist? Orthodox? Anglican? No ma’am.

This here is your answer — You protect my right to preach Jesus Christ.

You do NOT become my bishop.

That ain’t secularism, baby — that’s called religious liberty.

BTW, as a Protestant, I got several hundred years of history explaining why handing theological power to the state is a catastrophically stupid idea.

Horrifying Footage From Ukraine As Russian Missiles Hit Kyiv. 🇺🇦

A massive Russian missile and drone barrage struck Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, causing widespread damage and casualties.

The latest attacks included ballistic and cruise missiles alongside more than 150 drones, with explosions lighting up the night sky over Kyiv.

The footage from Kyiv shows just how devastating the barrage was.

If you hear only one version of reality for long enough, eventually you stop experiencing it as a version. You experience it as reality itself.

Researcher @EFischberger has just published a remarkable finding.

According to Fischberger, Hamas operated a WhatsApp group containing Gaza’s journalists in which Hamas “managed the discourse and the narrative”. He points out that international organizations relying on journalists inside Gaza include Reuters, AP, The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, PBS, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, Al Jazeera and Drop Site News.

Hamas managed the information environment from which much of the outside world understood that war, and western audiences rarely experience information as a chain of custody.

And psychology tells us why that matters.
There is something called the “primacy effect”: information encountered first can disproportionately shape how later information is interpreted - What you hear first doesn’t simply become one fact sitting next to all the facts you learn later.

It helps build the mental model into which later information is placed.

Once that framework exists, new information is no longer arriving on neutral ground. Information that fits the existing story is easily absorbed because it makes sense. Information that contradicts it has a much higher hurdle - it can feel implausible, suspicious or simply wrong because it conflicts with everything you already “know”.

Then there is the illusory truth effect.
Simply encountering a claim repeatedly makes it feel more true. A major 2026 meta-analysis covering 182 studies and more than 31,000 participants found a robust effect in which repetition increased perceived truth.

So imagine first hearing about Gaza first from the BBC, and then every day:
“Genocide".
“Deliberate starvation”.
“Indiscriminate bombing".

Eventually they don’t feel like claims anymore.
They become things you “know”.

And once that happens, something psychologically fascinating follows.

If everything you think you know leads logically to the conclusion that Israel is deliberately exterminating Palestinians, then supporting Israel becomes incomprehensible.

You literally cannot understand how an intelligent, informed and decent people could reach a different conclusion.

So your mind needs another explanation:
They must be ignorant.
Stupid.
Brainwashed.

Or worse - evil, fascist, racist, monstrous.

Because if the premises are unquestionably true, disagreement can no longer represent a different interpretation of complicated evidence - it becomes evidence of defective character.

And now contradictory information faces an enormous barrier.

Psychologists study something called the continued-influence effect: information can continue influencing our reasoning even after it has been corrected.

Humans don’t store thousands of isolated facts. We construct mental models - stories explaining how those facts fit together.

Remove one important “fact” and you create a hole in the story.

That is why presenting overwhelming facts to someone often accomplishes remarkably little.

You’ve heard one explanation 500 times.
Then somebody shows you documents contradicting it.
Psychologically, those aren’t competing on equal terms.
The familiar explanation feels like reality.
The unfamiliar evidence feels like propaganda.
So the response becomes:
“Hasbara”
“Fake”
“Zionist bot”

Often before the evidence has even been examined.
There is a bitter irony here.

For years we were told that “lived experience” mattered.
Yet Israelis describing October 7, rockets, suicide bombings, murdered relatives, displacement or decades of war can have their lived experience dismissed instantly.

Even Palestinians' lived experience who contradict the accepted narrative suddenly becomes irrelevant because it conflicts with what everyone already “knows”.

Your brain does exactly the same thing with everything else.

Trump.
Netanyahu.
Immigration.
Climate policy.

That doesn’t mean Trump or Netanyahu don’t deserve real criticism, but criticism should be re-evaluated upon contact with contradictory evidence.

Research into misinformation suggests that merely saying “that’s false” isn’t enough. Effective corrections often work better when they supply a coherent alternative explanation rather than simply creating a hole in someone’s existing mental model.

And research into people leaving highly controlling groups like the “pro-Palestine” cult show how deeply integrated belief systems can loosen.

People rarely escape an information bubble because somebody screamed:
“YOU’VE BEEN BRAINWASHED.”

They encounter contradictions.
They maintain relationships with outsiders.
They discover trustworthy people who believe something they had been taught only terrible people could believe.

And gradually they become willing to examine evidence they previously couldn’t even hear.

The solution, then, is almost embarrassingly simple:
Deliberately expose yourself to intelligent people who disagree with you.

Make a “Zionist” friend.

If you’re on the right, regularly read serious people on the left.
If you’re on the left, read serious people on the right.

And be particularly suspicious of media ecosystems that present information coming from authoritarian-controlled environments without adequately explaining the constraints under which local journalists operate.

Uh huh… so he’s a national socialist with a fanatical view of Christianity and he hates Jewish people. Right.

This already has a name, by the way.

It’s Nazism being recycled in America…

[Cyrus S 🇺🇸 @CyrusShares]

The Soviets actually invented Islamist-Marxist and cultural Marxist ideologies that bridged the gap between the anti-western Islamists and Marxist and united them based on common enemy, totalitarian nature and hostility toward classical liberal western values!

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

What did I just listen to? I listened to it twice. Besides saying Jesus may or may not have risen from the dead (🙄🙄), the rest of this progressive gobbledygook made no sense whatsoever.

None of what I just heard is Christianity. Disturbing.

We are infested with an army of Useful idiots. It is sad to see free country not wanting to continue to be free.

From a blacksmith’s son to powering the modern world.

On this day in 1791 Michael Faraday was born in Newington Butts, the son of a poor London blacksmith. Formal schooling barely lasted long enough to teach him to read. At fourteen he was apprenticed to a bookbinder. He bound the books. Then he read them. That was his university.

In 1812 he sat through Humphry Davy’s lectures at the Royal Institution, bound his notes into a book, and sent it to Davy asking for work. A year later he was Davy’s laboratory assistant. The rest is the electrical age.

He made a wire rotate around a magnet in 1821: the first electric motor. In 1825 he isolated benzene. In 1831 he discovered electromagnetic induction — a changing magnetic field produces an electric current — the principle inside every generator and transformer. He wrote the laws of electrolysis, discovered diamagnetism, and in 1845 found that a magnetic field can rotate the plane of polarised light: the Faraday effect, the first hard link between electromagnetism and light.

He thought in lines of force. Maxwell later turned those lines into field theory. The farad, the Faraday cage and the Faraday constant still carry his name.

The Royal Society gave him the Copley Medal twice, the Royal Medal twice and the Rumford Medal. Oxford made him an honorary doctor. He declined a knighthood. Twice he refused the presidency of the Royal Society. He preferred to remain plain Mr Faraday.

Self-taught. Relentlessly experimental. The man who took electricity out of the laboratory and put it into the world.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the race baiter op isn’t about race, it’s a gambit to manipulate the Christian majority into dismantling The Constitution.

[SGM Mike Vining @ Blasting Through Official @BlastingThrough]

Over 70 percent of you are younger than I am by a few decades. My editor recently asked me what I hope the American public understands about my generation. This was my answer:

My generation often faced impossible situations, but we accepted the missions we were given. As stated in Isaiah 6:8: "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

We may not have been the greatest generation, but we are their proud sons and daughters, and we learned from them. I think we made them proud.

@sfrantzman Seth, I am lifting you up lovingly in prayer 🙏🏻
May you be covered in a blanket of peace 🕊️

[Seth Frantzman @sfrantzman]

What’s crazy is I watched this knowing I’d been under all these rocket attacks for years sitting here saying “oh I remember that one” and identifying all the big barrages for years, because I was running around from the Gaza border to Lebanon to living in Jerusalem under them all

And I was just deeply impacted by how much war I’d seen and just been under this for years

It’s not just PTSD, because when you do it for years it’s your personality it’s just what you are ; you can’t take it out.

[Israel War Room @IsraelWarRoom]

The Sons of Jacob synagogue in Belleville, Canada, was sprayed with bullets last night as congregants gathered for Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

A police officer was shot outside the synagogue while confronting the shooter. No one inside was injured. The synagogue’s president credits the heroic officer, who was hired to protect the congregation, with saving the lives of everyone gathered inside. We are praying for the officer’s recovery🙏

@Ayeletahavim This Yom Kippur feels palatably different from others. A deeper, collective, guttural yearning, a turning, reposturing of heart — it’s incredibly beautiful. ❤️🙏🏻
