The NO disunity in faith. EVERYONE has it. Even atheists.
What you see as disunity is the free market of ideas and beliefs. Something that has existed since mankind began to use reason and logic to leave the trees and forests and interact with each other more intelligently.
That friction has always been there.
It is the undeniable nature of mankind to move through life enjoying or lamenting our individual liberties and the resulting accountability for those liberties we have taken. It’s built into human existence. Ingrained. It can’t be removed. Only contained in prisons and jails and social institutions. All of which is a necessary component of human existence for people of faith.
There is NO disunity in that. Everyone enjoys this reality for as long as they live.
It’s crucial to the structure of human existence.
So, what you see as disunity…. I see as the UNITY of every individual contending with their personal liberties and learning to live with personal faith and personal accountability. Whether we share them with others or not is, again, more of the same. A personal freedom and a choice we will be accountable for.
I see nothing but unity in that. SOMETHING WE ALL SHARE. Something we are meant to do and something we are meant to be challenged by and grow through.
We may make different choices and hold different beliefs …..but we are unified in our enjoyment of personal liberty and in the resulting accountability for them we have to endure.
Even atheists have “faith” in their world view, darlin’.
So we, as human beings, are creatures of faith, it’s part of the human experience.
And, as such, have never been more unified than when we are arguing about and fighting over what we believe in and have faith in.
It’s what we fucking do best.
Lutheranism was born in 1517. But Luther himself did not want to break from the Catholic Church.
Anglicanism was born in 1534. Henry VIII needed a divorce.
Calvinism was born in 1536. Calvin did not agree with Luther about communion.
Puritanism was born in the 1570s. Some folks thought Anglicanism was still too Catholic.
Congregationalism was born in 1648. Robert Browne rejected the concept of clergy altogether.
Methodism was born in 1785. But Wesley himself did not want to break from Anglicanism.
Pentacostalism was born in 1900. Charles Fox Parham rejected denominations altogether.
And I've left off a hundred more denominations: Anabaptists, Baptists, Quakers, Shakers, etc.
What's my point? The basis of Protestantism is disunity, division and fragmentation.
Black man is threatening that white people are not safe in certain areas of Texas because he and other black people will retaliate violently over Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction.
Grow up. He stabbed a kid in the heart because he was asked to leave an area where he didn’t belong.
This isn’t about race.
It’s about stupidity and impulse control.
Starts with, “There’s a lot of lessons to be learned from the Karmelo Anthony case.”
And then immediately proceeds to show a total lack of discernment about what lessons should have been learned and clearly learned NOTHING useful or rational. lol
There's a lot of lessons to be learned from the Karmelo Anthony case, especially for our children.... But one I hope doesn't go overlooked is WATCH WHO YOU CALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!! Karmelo was called to that tent by someone he THOUGHT was his friend. Defense attorney showed multiple pictures of them together... But he came to testify AGAINST KARMELO. He "allegedly" recorded the whole thing. But then said he was only "pretending to record* and when he was showing his phone to everyone for them to see "He was only showing Karmelo ig page" be fucking fr. This young man you think is your friend, you've been around kicking it multiple times, call you to come sit with him. He's first laughing at you when you're getting bullied. He pulls out his phone to record you getting bullied. Then when you protect yourself AND HE HAS THE EVIDENCE THAT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE he deletes it and then testify against you. Because the bullies are more popular and goes to the same school..... Please be careful who you call your friends YOUR LIFE COULD LITERALLY DEPEND ON IT!!!
FRISCO: Family members of Karmelo Anthony assaulted me and my crew
Threw water bottles at us
Threatened us with violence
& started trying to put hands on us for simply asking them about their shirts
See how we left their tent when asked without stabbing them? It can be done
Good morning fam, and a Happy Hump Day to you all. Thanks for stopping by Tommy's Diner.☕️👻

Submit something awesome that is American AF! 🇺🇸
Barack Obama was using USAID to pretend to send money to a country for “aid” and instead laundering it to the Cayman Islands
He would then use that money to fund and train “Rent-a-Riots” for protests to overthrow governments
Sound familiar?
Mike Benz on Joe Rogan: “A scandal during the Obama USAID era. We were running a number of rogue USAID operations in Cuba at the time. — I'm simply showing the American people where your tax dollars are going and how these things are structured in order to systematically fool you and to fool Congress and to fool the White House:
— USAID pumped $1.2 billion in, and we sponsored these activist groups and these civil society organizations to learn how to use Facebook, learn how to use Twitter, lose, learn how to use hashtags, learn how to coordinate street protests so that everyone knows where to go, what street to show up on, what kind of slogans to know, to use in order to create the pro-democracy predicate for it.”
He talks about how Obama funded a Twitter clone that would be used to push propaganda in Cuba to inspire these protests and overthrow the government (Mike Benz explains how Barack Obama overthrew many governments)
“So what they did is they took the exact same thing as Twitter, same user interface, same like, and retweet button zunzunio is, is the Cuban slang word for hummingbird. So just, it means it's it's bird, it was the Twitter bird, the whole thing. But the whole trick about it was you have to make it look like it's coming from the Cubans if you're going to do this operation
— We can get into the deeper layers of this, but contractors were funded by USAID
The data would then be used for micro targeting efforts towards anti and pro government users. In Cuba, the developers aim to, at first used non-controversial content such as sports and music and hurricane updates — What was the plan the whole time? Once they built up enough subscribers, they would begin to introduce political messages through social bots and encourage dissent in this, in this astroturfing — the whole point is, once they hit a critical mass, they would create ‘Rent-a-Riots”
“You're using Cayman Islands bank accounts. You're saying it's, you're earmarking it for Pakistani aid.” But the money was never sent to Pakistan, it was sent to the Cayman Islands to fund this whole operation
All this and much more is broken down extremely well in this video. This is INSANE
AUSTIN MAN charged with running a sex trafficking ring and dealing cocaine, meth, MDMA, and Adderall -- caught fleeing police in a car after firing a gun -- just walked out with a 2-year deal and watched more than a dozen felonies vanish in a single afternoon.
Kaden Caro has 62 cases in the Travis County courts. In 2024, DPS arrested him after a vehicle chase that ended in a crash and an injured victim. (See video below.)
Officers found him with a gun he wasn't allowed to have as a felon, plus cocaine, meth, Adderall, and Xanax he was selling. He was indicted on a stack of charges, including trafficking and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
This April, DA Garza's office let him plead to two counts and dropped almost everything else from that arrest and others:
• Sex trafficking - waived in the plea
• Dealing cocaine - dismissed
• Dealing meth - dismissed
• Dealing MDMA - no charges
• Dealing Adderall - dismissed
• Robbery - dismissed
• Gun as a felon, twice - dismissed
• Tampering with evidence - dismissed
• Unlawful restraint, exposing the victim to serious injury - dismissed
• Fleeing police in a vehicle, twice - dismissed
• A 2021 home invasion charged as burglary plus two aggravated assaults - dismissed
He pleaded to firing a gun and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Back in 2023, Caro sat on an ankle monitor for an aggravated assault on a mother in a family violence case. A GPS company flagged him twice driving back onto her block, within 200 yards of where she lived, in violation of his protective order. The assault charge was no-billed. The protective order violations were quietly folded into the district court and then dismissed.
Across 62 cases and 15 years -- robberies, assaults, guns, drug dealing, a trafficking charge -- Caro has never once faced a jury. Every felony ended in a dismissal, a reduction, or a plea.
