@Emotion78687 Beautiful voices. I just wish they’d have gone for it with the original notes. I recorded a version over a decade ago in I’ve never shared publicly (when I was younger and in an apartment on a crappy computer) but I honored the original: https://t.co/cuKB9ZC3za
@alertpage Well this is wild! I’m used to seeing big cities on here, not small local places. I was just in Kaukauna this morning, heading off to rummage sales getting kids stuff for my little sister. Mind blown 🤯
💯 I stopped watching over a decade ago when it clearly became an online popularity contest vs an actual vocal competition. My littlest sister coaxed me into watching again this year simply because Jordan was so spectacular and was worthy of watching. It was so clear he was far and away the winner but once again American Idol teeny bopper country lovers rally and force in their blonde gal. Aaaand again I won’t watch in the future. 🤢
Jordan sang circles around her. She was out of tune often, her vibrato was iffy while Jordan slayed… every…single…time.
Hannah didn’t give me goosebumps once.
At least Keyla gave me goosebumps on select songs!! She deserved 2nd IMHO. But Jordan… goosebumps from the start… every…single…time. That man has something special.
I Corinthians 13:1-7
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.
Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.
George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.
The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.
No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.
A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.
The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.
The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.

I’m truly stunned and ashamed by this.
I do not know how someone can actually read, believe and follow the Bible and still maintain this stance.
Proverbs 16:5 (NLT): "The Lord detests the proud; they will surely be punished."
Romans 12:16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited
Matthew 23:12
For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Do any of these describe our current president? Our leaders need prayer and God’s divine intervention.
