[20] As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear.

@LandonPontius @TomBuck If you are not a Christian, you have no consistent moal basis / referent to call anything evil or good. Its bad because you said so. That makes good/evil reltive and therefore meaningless. BTW I do not sit under the title calvinist. I've never read Calvin.
@RealSteveFarley@TomBuck Ephesians 5:4 ESV
[4] Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

Many of you know from my podcast episodes and social media posts that my husband is the president of the Orange County Rescue Mission, a faith-based residential program that helps get people off the streets and back to work over 1-2 years.
OCRM has been recognized nationally for its successful model in the area of addressing homelessness. Secular homeless services overwhelmingly operate from a philosophy of "housing first," but programs like that of OCRM work to address root causes in order to set people up for long term independence and flourishing--not simply putting a roof over someone's head while addictions and/or mental illness continue untreated.
This week, the Trump administration unveiled a new best practices toolkit based on a “Treatment First” model, which prioritizes getting people accountability-driven drug treatment and sobriety as preconditions for housing assistance. As part of the roll-out, HUD Secretary Scott Turner and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. visited 3 model, faith-based programs already operating under this kind of philosophy. OCRM was one of the selected programs, and Bryan had the pleasure of personally taking the two Secretaries for a tour this week! It was quite an event.
If you're interested in learning more about housing first vs. programs like OCRM and a Christian approach to homelessness more broadly, check out my episode with Bryan on The Natasha Crain Podcast from Oct 7, 2025. I'm proud of him and all the work that's being done at OCRM! The Lord is doing great things there.
Why did Sarah Connor put her phone in a chip bag?
To stop tracking.
With its metallic lining, it worked as a Faraday bag, blocking wireless signals.
Faraday bags are a practical privacy tool everyone should know about.
Also helpful for escaping Terminators.
We might think that we have nothing to hide.
But tomorrow we might have no WHERE to hide.
We need to rethink this mass surveillance system we're building.

The history of economic development tells a remarkably consistent story.
Countries become wealthier when they gain access to large quantities of affordable and reliable energy. Factories open. Businesses expand. Living standards rise. Life expectancy improves.
That was true in Europe. It was true in North America. It was true in Asia.
There is little reason to believe Africa will be any different.
If we are serious about reducing poverty and creating opportunity across the continent, we should support policies that expand access to energy rather than restrict it. Prosperity requires power.

“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”
While the formal mission of DOGE has come to an end, the mission to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse will continue. Good stewardship of taxpayer dollars and accountable government are not temporary initiatives. We hope those principles endure long into America’s next 250 years.
It has been our greatest honor to serve the American people. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
