Christian nationalists keep insisting America was founded as a "Christian nation" by men who all believed exactly like them.
History says otherwise.
Most Founders belonged to churches. But the architects of the republic were a mix.
Jefferson cut the miracles and resurrection out of the New Testament and kept the ethics.
Paine wrote The Age of Reason, a broadside against organized Christianity.
Washington spoke of "Providence" and the "Great Architect" and rarely took communion.
Adams died a Unitarian who rejected the Trinity.
They were not secret atheists. They were culturally Christian men who had watched religious wars tear Europe apart and said, "Not here."
So they wrote a Constitution with no religious test and a First Amendment that bars an established church. The tent was built big on purpose.
The point is not that every Founder could pass an evangelical litmus test. It is that they chose liberty of conscience over religious uniformity.
A confident republic tells that story instead of airbrushing the record to win a culture war.
Trump was able to quickly put together $300 billion in recovery money for Iran after he decided to bomb it.
He stood in Swannanoa NC not far from my house in October 2024 and said he’d build back bigger, better, more beautiful, and faster than Biden after Hurricane Helene inflicted $60 billion in damage in the Blue Ridge . . . and then he went MIA.
Imagine if @realDonaldTrump cared as much about rebuilding Western North Carolina for Americans as he does about rebuilding Iran for Iranians.
General Eaton led troops in Iraq. He knows what war looks like. His verdict on Trump's Iran War? America LOST, and Iran is in stronger a position because of it.
He has never changed; he remains the same old con artist claiming to be a builder. In MAGA, he identified more targets than he could count, and if enough people voted him into office, he promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he turned the reflecting pool into a swamp while lining his pockets with money. #DemsUnited
Obama: "We've got a set of institutions that have fallen victim to the siren song of 'everything is about money, everything is about attention, everything is about fame, everything is about getting over.' But meanwhile, there are just a lot of people out here doing the right thing and raising their families and taking care of people."
I’m making a list of all the ways that things are better today than they were two years ago.
It’s alphabetical for your convenience, and will be updated as needed.
