I'm firmly convinced that one of the biggest problems on Christian social media is people posting about other people or situations when they know absolutely zero about that other person or situation.
We'd all be better off if we'd shut up about things we don't know squat about.
37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to preserve its grip on power. If it did not value the lives of its own citizens, why would it value the lives of others?
This is eugenics. It is morally bankrupt. And it should never be legal.
We must pass a PRENDA law to ban killing children based on their genetic code.
I pray my son with cystic fibrosis doesn’t read this man’s post.
🚨 The House just voted 218-204 to move forward on the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. The House will vote on final passage tomorrow. This is our Churchill moment and we must pass the test.
The Church did not "take over" a "Jewish canon" as is sometimes alleged. Instead, the Church saw itself delineated in, and its Savior set forth by, the OT Scriptures.

1991 Persian Gulf War under Bush, Cheney, Scowcroft, Powell, Baker, Schwarzkopf exemplified wise statecraft & military prudence, winning public opinion, Congress, wide global alliance, w/achievable goals, moral & strategic arguments, sobriety & gravitas. They led the nation & Free World. We took it for granted then.
Several Ukrainians have told me in person and X that my original spelling of Kyiv is wrong. I said “Kiev” originally, which is the Russian spelling.
When the war started, on-air journalists gradually switched from saying Kee-yev to Keev. I never understood why. Until now.
Russia is waging a cultural war on Ukraine. They are indoctrinating kidnapped children to only speak Russian, forbidding the use of Ukrainian. Russian leaders claim Ukraine has no distinct cultural identity or history separate from Russia.
But last night I ate borscht, a Ukrainian dish, for the first time. I’m in a city originally named Kyivan Rus’. Muscovites took the name to create “Russia.” Even the underlying technology for Russia’s nuclear energy is Ukrainian.
Russia has appropriated Ukrainian history and culture since Russia’s founding. Ukrainians take pride in their history and identity. They do not like to see it appropriated by Russians killing their families every single day.
So if you’re an American asking yourself why this matters, you have your answer.
Reporting from KYIV with @LauraLoomer@LoomerUnleashed
Mohler updated the amendment.
1) It definitely is less bad. It does fix one glaring issue, probably the most serious problem.
Look, that’s good for what it’s worth.
It puts an obstacle in the way of those who were planning to weaponize “function”. They’re not happy.
The American nuclear industry had been smothered by bureaucratic red tape for far too long. Thankfully, President Trump is unleashing an American Nuclear Renaissance.
"The result was the most productive year in the modern history of nuclear power..."
Mr Witkoff has gone to Moscow eight times to negotiate peace… zero times to Ukraine. Most Americans know this is not right. Don’t pretend to be neutral when the facts are obvious. Can we get someone serious in the position to do this right?
In 1 Corinthians 14, numerous prophets spoke and/or sang the Word of God in the congregation, all judging and all being judged for their proclamations. There is no evidence whatsoever that all these preachers were pastors. Indeed, Paul had to silence several, both men and women.
Bonchie’s being diplomatic. Russia is a crappy country. It has some great literature. And like all nations, it has some lovely people and traditions. But as a nation-state and empire, its history is of cruelty, backwardness, oppression, and violence. https://t.co/i9nhAaODPf
You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Florida. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?
Q: If the president is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back in for checkups?
DR OZ: I think he likes the results. He does really well. He aces the test every single day.
