@liamsadams I wish you’d been here. Your coverage, nonetheless, was great. Orlando wasn’t terribly hot and it wasn’t muggy. The nicest Florida weather I’ve seen in June.

Southern Baptists have been debating on whether to gather in Anaheim in 8 years for longer than they did on Mohler's proposed constitutional amendment to enshrine a ban on women pastors. #SBC26

@BaptistBlogger Thank you for taking the time to visit with me.

Can anyone tell me why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was left out of the list of Christian churches?

[Jack Graham @jackngraham]

As I said from the beginning the SBC does not have a systematic sexual abuse crisis. The whole thing was a reckless hoax which has cost us not only millions of dollars but immeasurable damage to our witness. Glad to see both candidates on point

WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of a Bronze Star, Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?

BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family

WELKER: But is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?

BESSENT: Give what has been done to President Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he's been through

WELKER: So you don't think there's anything wrong with a post saying, 'Good. Robert Mueller's dead'?

BESSENT: We should have empathy for what's been done to the president and his family

"Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled & the dead & the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God." ⬇️

It’s only a war if it comes from the war region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling military conflict

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

Alex Pretti's death is a tragedy that deserves a transparent investigation and accountability.

We’re a nation of laws and they apply to all of us, whether in uniform or not. I continue to strongly support our federal law enforcement agents, the vast majority of whom do their very difficult jobs with dedication and professionalism.

It is essential for officials at all levels of government to come together to de-escalate this situation while prioritizing safety, responsibility and law & order. That will ultimately protect the Americans who peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights as well state and local police, and our federal officers.

We obviously need more of the Gospel in our lives. Too many have lost their moral compass.

Former megachurch pastor, Robert Morris, pleads guilty to child sexual abuse and is required to register as a sex offender. However, he will only have to serve 6 months in the county jail.

The 12 year old child he abused is now an adult and was able to watch him being led out of the courtroom in handcuffs. Too bad the time he spends in jail will be so short for such an egregious crime.
