@goddek So state congreeman and senators should not be able to vote? We support them with our taxes and they do not work enough days per year to qualify for SNAP. Therefore, they should not be able to vote.

Using Bible verses to justify violence is not only the opposite of what Jesus teaches, it’s a direct contradiction of the passage Hegseth cites in this video.

“Here am I, send me” was the prophet Isaiah’s response after being called by God to deliver a message to the people and their leaders. What was the message?

“Your leaders are rebels, the companions of thieves. All of them love bribes and demand payoffs, but they refuse to defend the cause of orphans or fight for the rights of widows.” Isaiah 1:23

What were these corrupt and rebellious leaders doing?

“Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?” Isaiah 10:1-3

God is sending Isaiah to warn the people, and more specifically their leaders, that if they do not turn from their corrupt ways and begin caring for the most vulnerable among them, they will suffer God’s judgment. Isaiah answers that call by saying, “Here am I, send me.”

This isn’t just about taking a few Bible verses out of context. For an administration filled corrupt leaders to claim these verses while perpetrating the very marginalization and oppression being condemned in this passage is the height of blasphemy.

I want to set the record straight.

These attacks on our faith are false and a sad attempt to distract from the real hardships facing Kansans.

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

There’s a pretty simple explanation for that UT photo.

For years, the top 6% of Texas high school students got automatic admission to UT. Now it’s the top 5%. It’s completely colorblind. It’s just class rank.

Asian kids are about 5% of Texas graduates, but roughly 21% of the kids hitting a 1180 SAT/24 ACT benchmark. Absolutely kicking ass.

And UT’s own numbers make the “foreign students” explanation pretty hard to square. Only about 4% of UT undergrads are international students.

What we’re looking at is immigrants and the children of immigrants doing all the things YOU SAID you wanted immigrants to do: come here legally, work hard / succeed academically, and assimilate into our culture.

Check. Check. Check.

I’m starting to think your problem with this picture might be something else entirely....

@ZachLahn Six months eh? Well isn't that convenient. What makes data centers so special they get 6 months of taxes and then back to the free ride? 10 years you guys have been in charge and now we are going to "six months" of reasonable tax policy? Sure you will....

@cyclONENUT69 Yes, not impressed so far

Rarely do I share someone else’s words here, but I think it would be hard to nail it better than the Daily Show did:

@bmuff01 @mrrickjunior Well, he did say "Jack Trice" so that does shrink the pool.

@Gary04317416 I am borrowing this... "If you give me $3,000 right now, I will give you my $5,000 when I get it." You stand to make an extra $2,000. I bet you could use that too.

@JustinWStapley It's always projection with you guys.

Your boss didn't give you a 3 day weekend out of kindness.

A protest march in New York in 1882 by 10,000 union workers did that.

Thank a Union member. Happy Labor Day.

Truly the dumbest administration in the history of America.

This Labor Day, we celebrate the workers and products that are proudly MADE IN AMERICA. 🇺🇸

@mitchellvii Oh boy, the goalposts are moving again .. here we go.

[Chris Brown #BeUMC 🇺🇸🦅 @algonacy]

@SassyEagleUSA @TravisHines21 Oh let's be real clear here. I will never watch something on Paramount, let alone something about Tech who I really don't care about, at all.

Have a great day.

[Chris Brown #BeUMC 🇺🇸🦅 @algonacy]

@VietNathan @TravisHines21 You too. I look forward to football and bball this season. I'm confident you guys will do well.

[Chris Brown #BeUMC 🇺🇸🦅 @algonacy]

@SassyEagleUSA @TravisHines21 Talk about institutional control. You paid a guy millions to play and you had no idea about his gambling issue prior to that? It is rich to talk about other schools not helping him when neither did you until the world found out. Then you were all high and mighty. Pffff...
