If you've been following me lately, you know that I talked about being Jesus-curious after Charlie Kirk's memorial. I never expected almost 2 million people to see that.
Shawn and I are going to try church tomorrow. But how do you pick a church?
People said to pick a good church. I don't even know what that means. I always thought that "church" was inherently good.
Charlie's memorial wasn't even a week ago and it feels like ages ago at the same time. I want to feel what I felt during the music again.
I want to hear someone talk about Jesus, not shame people like me for not knowing Jesus.
I'm honest enough to admit that I'm afraid, I won't even lie. This is absolutely terrifying because I have avoided it for years.
So how do we pick? What do we look for? How do you know you're not going to get sucked down the wrong path?
What I do know is that I feel compelled to be a part of this.
Ohio State faced harsher on-field ramifications for players receiving free tattoos than Michigan did for illegally scouting opponents in person. https://t.co/dCNOZhQSHK

I need help
Somehow I have two accounts and I need to combine them so I can acc as all flights on my app. I have been on WhatsApp chat hold for 4 hours.
Just a couple of months ago, I would have believed this entire story without question.
Hook. Line. Sinker.
I truly believed that CNN, NYTimes, Washington Post, these were the places real news was being done.
You could not have convinced me otherwise.
It took a hurricane in the mountains of Western North Carolina to wake me up to a media that didn't just lie about us, but chose not to cover stories that didn't fit their narrative.
To me, this is the point that cannot be overstated enough.
I watched MILES long lines for propane in December and January for people living in RVs and campers under the Biden Administration.
People who were homeless for the first time EVER, barely making it through the winter.
I truly believed the media would cover the suffering I was seeing all around me.
I was wrong.
And once you see it happen to you, once you see the media turn their backs on you because your LIFE doesn't fit their narrative...
...you can't unsee it
But then something hit me harder than almost anything I've experience in my life...
It wasn't just happening to me.
It was happening EVERYWHERE.
Every story that didn't fit the liberal narrative was being buried, manipulated, key facts were being discarded for the SOLE PURPOSE of narrative-building.
It's been incredibly hard for me to come to terms with the fact that I spewed lies to OTHERS because I believed lies myself.
Without X, I'm not sure I would have ever broken out of my liberal bias bubble.
I may be looking down on ALL of you who I used to disagree with.
I might still think that every MAGA person was a racist, sexist, and bigot.
Because that's what I was told, there was no other alternative.
To those who felt this way from me, I'm so sorry. I wish I could take that back.
It's embarrassing and I'm genuinely sorry.
So many people think the way I used to think, it's why you see so many insane videos of liberals screaming at their phones in their cars.
Some of them are crazy, but some are just SCARED.
The media weaponizes something beautiful, YOUR EMPATHY, and turn it against you to hate the other side.
Once you see it, you'll start seeing it EVERYWHERE.
Nearly 3 minutes straight of Democrats saying preemptive presidential pardons means you’re guilty:
Biden just preemptively pardoned Fauci, Milley, Jan 6th committee, and his family.
Wow. BRUTAL words for her fellow liberals from Democratic strategist @JulieRoginsky on CNN:
“I’m going to speak some hard truths...We are not be party of common sense, which is the message the voters sent to us...When we address Latino voters...as Latinx, for instance, b/c that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think we don’t even live in the same planet as they do. When we are too afraid to say that, hey, college kids, if you're trashing the campus of Columbia University b/c you’re unhappy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning, that is unacceptable. But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we do not know what to say when normal people look at that and say, wait a second. I send my kids to college so they can learn, not so they can burn buildings and trash lawns, right? And so on and so forth. When we put pronouns after names and say she/her as opposed to saying, you know what, if I call you by the wrong pronoun, call me out. I am sorry. I won't do it again. But stop with the virtue signaling and speak to people like they’re normal. There is nothing that I'm going to say to Shermichael that I’m not going to say to your or I’m not going to say to somebody else. I speak the same language to everybody. But that’s not what Democrats do. We constantly try to parse out different ways of speaking because our focus groups or polling shows that so-and-so appeals to such and such. That’s not how normal people think. It is not common sense and we need to start being the part of common sense again. Joe Biden is not responsible for that, neither is Kamala Harris. That is a problem that Democrats have had for years. I’ve been banging the drum on this for I don’t know how — probably ten years on this. We need to get back to being the party of common sense that people look at us and say we understand you. We appreciate what you say because you speak our language. And, until we do that, we should stop blaming other people for our own mistakes.”
Bill Maher Issues Wake-Up Call to All Democrats Who Think the NPR Story Is Not a Big Deal
"NPR is to them [Republicans] what this country would be if it was a permanent democratic governorship."
"Of the 87 people working in editorial positions there, 87 are Democrats. Even if you're a Democrat, you can't think this is good."
Crazy that CANADA's top sports network @TSN_Sports chose to show this special moment from AMERICA's junior hockey team after winning gold..but AMERICA's largest sports network @espn chose to completely ignore it on all social media platforms. Also crazy considering ESPN's rights deal with the @NHL. Unlike so many famous millionaire athletes who complain about this country but gladly take the 💰💰... it's SO refreshing to see such pride from these young men!!!! 🇺🇸

The saddest part of this is that California's leaders are showing they could clean up their streets - they just choose not to.
Here in Arkansas, we're cracking down on crime, lowering taxes, and investing in communities. And we're doing it for Arkansans, not the CCP.
Lemme flesh out the argument here since some respondents and QT’ers seem to be missing the point.
It’s not just “greedy insurance companies are making health care expensive!”
It’s that *we built a system that incentivizes insurers to systematically ⬆️ health care costs.*
