The only logical outflow for the Calvinist is extreme humility and gratitude. The reformed believer claims neither mental sharpness nor spiritual acuity - merely a total depravity redeemed by extraordinary grace. In fact, that’s the only extraordinary thing about us - HIS grace.

Peggy Noonan goes to town on Trump and his kleptocracy. I gifted this so you can read it.

"And there’s the sheer scale: The extraordinary becomes ordinary through repetition; scandals add up and become a blur, not a call to action. But the country pays a cost for all this. Institutionally, everything happening today sets a precedent. Every abuse we accept widens the range of possible misbehavior for the next administration.

Corruption is more dangerous, has a more deteriorating effect, than bad policy. Bad policy can be reversed. Corruption works its way into a system and changes its nature.

Suppose a Republican president leaves office having established that a president can use regulatory powers against antagonistic institutions, exert pressures on companies needing government approval, and demand personal loyalty throughout the executive branch, all with no lasting repercussions. The next administration, disposed in other ideological directions, inherits the precedents. It says turnabout is fair play."

The GOP is running against "Communists" while Trump is praising a communist dictator and taking over private companies.

@JustinShively @AriFleischer DITTO!!!

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@GARepAssembly @bluestein No it illustrates that the GOP has become so corrupt and incompetent that a left-of-center Democrat can appeal to many conservative voters.

@JustinWStapley Didn’t have THAT om my bingo card. Good that her eyes were opened.

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@RonDeSantis Yeah those “preconceived notions” might have been impacted just a little by president’s tariffs and threats and bluster

@griffingulledge @DannySlavich You mean it’s’…? Well, I’ll be….

Everyone needs to see this!

Bill Maher to JD Vance: "Here's my deal breaker for your side. Okay. Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election can be. Either we win, or they cheat it. That shit has to stop. "

@roddreher Praying you recover quickly Rod. Good hospitals here in Birmingham.

@LindseyGrahamSC Truer words never spoken.

@EWErickson We will never know what Kamala would have done, but the odds seem to increase daily it would not have been this bad, or the damage this irrevocable.

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@EWErickson Impeach them BOTH! And throw in most of the Cabinet for good measure.

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@LawHL @fredgreco @CCKPCA That would be #66 on the list for me - 😂

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@GabrielSterling Then and now, you did the right thing. Thank you!

[Ken Gardner @KenGardner11]

We have a once in a generation -- maybe once in a century -- opportunity to break what might very well be the worst terrorist regime on the planet. Why on earth do we continue to allow it to bargain for the terms of its continued survival.

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@niles7704 @roddreher Yeah I think he did

[Roger Phillips @RogerKPhillips]

@roddreher With any other cabinet, maybe, but not these folks.
