Liberty and eternal life are the promises of the cross upon which Christ our Lord gave His earthly life for us. The Lord always keeps His promises. 🇺🇸 ✝️
@w_bitterman That's a great question, brother. They never mention Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc.
But deep down, we all know that it is Christ and the Bible that they hate.
Scott Pelley is now out at CBS following a very public clash with the network and his new boss, Bari Weiss. Pelly accused politicians of handpicking interviewers and claimed CBS was pushing narratives that had not been properly verified.
Now presenting himself as a champion of journalistic integrity, Pelley wants us to forget that he spent years promoting the Russia collusion story and never challenged official narratives on COVID and Anthony Fauci.
As public trust in legacy media continues to collapse, the industry is turning on itself. The battle over “fake news” is no longer just between the media and the public; it has moved inside the newsroom itself.
@ClaytonMorris joins me to break down what this means for the future of media and where the industry goes from here.
In 29 days, we will celebrate the 250th birthday of our exceptional nation, which became the greatest of all because we were the first to declare the self-evident truth that all people are created equal by God.
Not “born equal.” We are “CREATED equal.”
Because God made us all in His image, it means EVERY SINGLE PERSON has inestimable DIGNITY and VALUE—and our value is not related in any way to the color of our skin, what zip code we live in, what our talents are, our health condition, or any other factor. Our value is inherent, because it is given to us by our loving Heavenly Father.
When a culture devolves to the point of depravity where “influencers” can go online and so casually dismiss the deliberate murder of their own precious child, the survival of that culture itself is at risk.
God have mercy on our nation as we pray and work for an end to this evil, for hearts and minds to change, and for a renewed understanding of the self-evident truths and the sanctity of all human life.

@trekonlinegame IDIC was never about something as shallow or simple-minded as "pride" or alternative relationships. It is about the scientific diversity of the universe beyond ourselves and exploring the unknown possibilities of existence (Q spelled this out to Picard in the TNG finale).
@JesusisChristX Returned to dust after a life filled with horrific sins (Muhammad).
Risen from the dead and eternally divine after sinless life who fulled God's laws and prophecies (Jesus Christ of Nazareth).
I choose Jesus because he is the way, the truth, and the life.
Times like these is why I'm grateful for the existence of the original Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve and directed by Richard Donner. That version of Superman is the gold standard by which all superhero stories should be judged.
I find it absolutely ironic that in a show that is supposedly about SUPERHEROES, about people who are meant to rise above normal human weakness and stand as symbols of hope, one of its central characters, Atom Eve, goes and has an abortion. And from everything that’s implied, that was Mark’s child.
His kid. And he didn't even get a say. He was apparently… absent. And her response to that situation is basically, “Well, this is hard, so I’m just going to end it.”
Let that sink in for a second.
This is a character who is framed as compassionate, empathetic, morally grounded. A HERO. The kind of character we’re supposed to admire, look up to, maybe even feel inspired by.
And yet when faced with the responsibility of protecting the most innocent, defenseless life imaginable—her own unborn child—she doesn’t rise to the occasion. She doesn’t fight through it. She doesn’t struggle and overcome. She doesn’t even try to embody that heroic ideal. She folds. Immediately. Because it’s difficult. Because she might have to do it alone. Because it would change her life.
That’s it. That’s the line where her “heroism” just completely folds.
And I’m supposed to sit here and accept that? I’m supposed to still see her as a hero after that? I’m supposed to root for her like nothing happened?
No. Absolutely not.
Because at that point, what even is the definition of a hero anymore? If someone who has the power to save lives on a massive scale can casually decide that the most vulnerable life imaginable isn’t worth protecting, then what are we even doing here? What’s the message? That heroism only applies when it’s convenient? That saving lives is optional depending on your personal circumstances?
And before anyone jumps in with the usual defenses because I already know they’re coming...save it.
I don’t care about the “context.” I don’t care about the “emotional complexity.” I don’t care about the essays explaining why it was “a deeply human decision” or “a realistic portrayal of struggle.” I’ve heard it all before. It’s the same recycled talking points every time something like this comes up.
People bending over backwards, twisting themselves into knots, doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics just to justify something that completely undermines the very foundation of what these characters are supposed to represent.
And that’s really the bigger issue here, isn’t it?
This isn’t just about one character. This is about what modern “superhero” storytelling has become. Shows like Invincible don’t just tell stories—they go out of their way to tear down the idea of heroism itself. They take pride in it. They revel in it. There’s this smug, almost arrogant tone of “Look how mature we are because we’re deconstructing everything you used to love.”
And what does that “deconstruction” look like?
Ultra-violence. Endless gore. Heads exploding like water balloons. Limbs getting ripped off. Blood sprayed across the screen like it’s trying to win an award for how shocking it can be. And then on top of that, moral decisions that completely gut the idea of heroes being something aspirational.
It’s like the show is actively allergic to sincerity. Like it can’t stand the idea of heroes being genuinely good, genuinely selfless, genuinely inspiring. Everything has to be twisted, darkened, or dragged through the mud in the name of being “realistic.”
Being cynical doesn’t make something deep. Being brutal doesn’t make something meaningful. And tearing down ideals doesn’t make you smarter than the people who still believe in them.
It just makes the whole thing feel hollow.
And I look around and I still see people watching this. Still praising it. Still calling it “peak superhero storytelling.” And I honestly don’t get it. I really don’t.
Why?
What are you getting out of this?
Is it the shock value? The gore? The constant subversion for the sake of subversion? The characters making decisions that completely contradict the idea of what a hero is supposed to be?
Because from where I’m sitting, it just looks like people have been conditioned to accept this kind of thing as “normal” for the genre now. Like this is just what superheroes are supposed to be broken, compromised, morally inconsistent, and wrapped in layers of blood and cynicism.
And if that’s the case, then yeah… I’ll pass.
Go ahead. Defend it. I know some of you will. Go ahead and stutter through your explanations. Pull out the think pieces. Do your triple-axel somersaults of mental gymnastics to explain why this is actually brilliant, why it’s “nuanced,” why it’s “important storytelling.”
Convince yourself that this is what heroism looks like now.
But don’t expect me to buy into it.
Because to me, this isn’t bold storytelling. It’s not deep. It’s not inspiring.
It’s just another example of a genre losing sight of what made it worth caring about in the first place and expecting the audience to applaud while it happens.
