From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.”

Steve Bannon literally said this is how you enact the playbook. Swamp the people and media with insanity so you can sneak through the more insidious policies when no one is looking.
🚨🇺🇸CNN’S KAITLAN COLLINS: TRUMP’S WHITE HOUSE IS NONSTOP—IT’S INSANE…UNLIKE BIDEN
“I remember when Biden first took office in January 2020, the New York Times wrote a story about how quiet the weekends were because for reporters, every weekend had just been, like a seven-day work week.
And now we're back to that, basically, where it's just essentially nonstop every day.”

@Old_SchoolEddie@IanJaeger29 They weren’t. This is a lie to make you hate them and think the president actually did something when he’s done nothing. Hope this helps.
@JohnMiladin @JustinTrudeau Goliath is not only brutally killed in his story, but he’s the villain and notoriously grotesque. So…I mean, fair point, no notes.
This is like, day 1 Bible study stuff he’s getting wrong and he’s the President of the Association for Classical Christian Schools. All so he doesn’t have to love his neighbor.
And your story might be more of a Sunday school myth. The Samaritans were not foreigners, they were cousins of the Jews. If Jesus had wanted to imply total outsiders in the parable, he would have started "But a Roman, as he journeyed, came to where he was and..." or, "But an Ethiopian," or "But a Cretian," He literally chose their neighbors who lived along side them in Israel and had for centuries, even though there were plenty of other hated, true outsiders who Jews interacted with every day. Let's interpret scripture rather than make it say what we want it to say.
