30% of Christians are NOT registered to vote.
Faith is good, but faith without works is dead.
If every Christian in America voted, we would transform our country for the better overnight.
FINAL: 49-18 Lincoln North Star!

The public should know. Not because I say so. Because this was their courthouse. Their Constitution. Their justice system.
The media asked to televise the trial. I said yes. The State said no. Read that again.
A case built around a recording. A woman prosecuted because of what was captured on video. Yet when the public asked to watch the trial itself, the State fought to keep the cameras out.
Why?
What exactly was the public not supposed to see?
I argued—on the record—for transparency. Not for publicity. Transparency. I argued that the people of Rochester, the citizens of Olmsted County, the people of Minnesota, and every American should be allowed to watch the process. To see the witnesses. To hear the arguments. To watch the rulings. To decide for themselves whether justice was done.
The answer? DENIED! Yep.
Think about the contradiction. A camera in a park becomes the centerpiece of a criminal prosecution.
A camera in a courtroom becomes unacceptable. One camera is welcomed. The other is feared.
One camera used for a $340,000 shakedown and the other feared.
One used to convict a woman for protected speech. The other feared.
Justice is not a private club. It does not belong to judges. It does not belong to prosecutors. It belongs to the people.
Public confidence is not built by asking citizens to trust the system. It is built by letting them watch it. Sunlight is uncomfortable. So is accountability.
If a courtroom cannot withstand the scrutiny of the citizens it serves, then we have a much larger conversation to have than the outcome of a single case.
The people were told to trust the process. I asked that they be allowed to see it. Those are not the same thing.
It is time to wake the fuck up.
Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable?
Oh well. Probably nothing.
I used to think the social media videos I saw about the food in other countries were BS, until I went to Italy for a week.
One full week of eating pasta, pizza, steak and gelato…I came home down 7lbs. We are being poisoned. It really is that simple.
INCREDIBLE: American Nathan Martin comes out of NOWHERE to beat Kenyan by 00.01 seconds in the LA Marathon — closest finish ever.
“I could see the leader and with 800 meters to go, I was thinking, ‘I’m catching him.’”
He finished 2h 11m 16.50s
PATRIOT🇺🇸
James Van Der Beek’s final message to the world is one of the most powerful things I have ever heard. Stop whatever you are doing and listen to this! 🥺
Finished the entire Bible it’s been a 13 month word by word page by page no skimming journey. Humbled, enlightened and amazed at what I read and what I learned. I will rest and meditate on so much. I will begin it again.
Call me crazy but I thought the major violation of free speech last week was when the free speech guy got shot in the neck for promoting free speech.
Evidently, it was the vaccine salesman with terrible ratings getting fired.
Yeah. Charlie Kirk did say, "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
Here's the full quote:
“Yeah, it's a great question. Thank you. So, I'm a big Second Amendment fan but I think most politicians are cowards when it comes to defending why we have a Second Amendment. This is why I would not be a good politician, or maybe I would, I don't know, because I actually speak my mind.
The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government. And if that talk scares you — "wow, that's radical, Charlie, I don't know about that" — well then, you have not really read any of the literature of our Founding Fathers. Number two, you've not read any 20th-century history. You're just living in Narnia. By the way, if you're actually living in Narnia, you would be wiser than wherever you're living, because C.S. Lewis was really smart. So I don't know what alternative universe you're living in. You just don't want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical and that if people need an ability to protect themselves and their communities and their families.
Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty. Driving comes with a price. 50,000, 50,000, 50,000 people die on the road every year. That's a price. You get rid of driving, you'd have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services — is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road. So we need to be very clear that you're not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them through having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools. We should have a honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one.
You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am, I, I — I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe.
So then, how do you reduce? Very simple. People say, oh, Charlie, how do you stop school shootings? I don't know. How did we stop shootings at baseball games? Because we have armed guards outside of baseball games. That's why. How did we stop all the shootings at airports? We have armed guards outside of airports. How do we stop all the shootings at banks? We have armed guards outside of banks. How did we stop all the shootings at gun shows? Notice there's not a lot of mass shootings at gun shows, there's all these guns. Because everyone's armed. If our money and our sporting events and our airplanes have armed guards, why don't our children?”
As a gay man, it enrages me to hear people call Charlie Kirk homophobic. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Listen to his response to a question from an ACTUAL homophobe.
