Swear on the Bible! Its the American way

"It's the framework of Christianity that originally, not just originally created the country, but upheld it and kept it in a certain shape and form."

We need more of this! I hope the teachers know what to do with it

BREAKING: Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters announces that Oklahoma will become the first state in the United States to bring the Bible back into classrooms.

So many on the right say that America is "war weary". Regardless of what you think of the Iran war, Americans have to be prepared to fight if they need to! @Katy_Faust's reminder: "War and conflict are far more common in human history than peace. And the peace we do get ... is secured by real people who leave their homes and leave their families for a month or a year or forever."

[Katy Faust @Katy_Faust]

I didn’t have a lot of military contact as a kid. So if #VeteransDay was on my radar, it was mostly, “Wow, look at those men who went to war.”

Ryan joined the Navy five years ago. Now it’s “Look at those boys who have been sleeping on a submarine instead of in a dorm.” I go to the base or the ball and I see kids who could be my kids and who traded the conventional and comfortable pathways to adulthood for trial and tribulation.

And generations of veterans have been doing it for more than 200 years.

I know there’s a full spectrum of opinions on our country, from enthusiastic patriots to people who feel disgusted by our history or this administration.

But however you feel about the country, you would not be able to have the life you want or the life you feel this nation deserves without the armed forces. War and conflict are far more common in human history than peace. And the peace we do get to experience does not arrive through “imagining there’s no country.” It is secured by real people who leave their homes and leave their families for a month or a year or forever.

Their career choice secures your career choice. Sleeping away from their home protects your ability to sleep in peace. You have abundant choices at the Apple Store or the hardware store because they steward stores of munitions along global shipping lanes. You can relax. Because they didn't.

Wherever you are on the political spectrum, take a minute today to thank someone who’s served. Call them, text them, or look them in the eye and say, “Thank you.” They chose to do what we couldn't, or wouldn't. And that deserves recognition.

Loyalty to nation motivates one to stick and rebuild. This is the spirit of the Hebrew prophets

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

My party got crushed last night and you know what? I’m not threatening to flee to Canada or trashing my country, because unlike the left, I see my country as more than a vehicle to political power.

This is my home. And I’ll never stop fighting for it.

[Avital Levi @AvitalLevi]

Hopeful advice

[Orlando Avendaño @oavendano]

Es absolutamente delirante que el mismo año en que un presidente republicano captura a Maduro, los republicanos pierden en una ciudad como el Doral.

Motivo de mucha reflexión.

¿Qué pasó de enero a ayer?

Aún hay chance de corregir. Si Clinton lo logró en el 96, los republicanos lo pueden lograr en el 28 y ganar la presidencia.

Yes. Christians need to rediscover the political dimensions of Christianity again. God wants justice and flourishing in this life

[J. Chase Davis @jchasedavis]

@JonnyRoot_ "We don't do politics" is the sermon they keep preaching. They promote an inoffensive Christianity and this is the fruit.

[Avital Levi @AvitalLevi]

How can we get more Christians to be politically active?

[Megan Basham @megbasham]

In looking at causes for tonight’s results, one important data point—in the 2022 midterms, around 24% of white evangelical Christians (the most reliably conservative bloc of religious voters) voted. In 2026, only 17% did.

In other words, a significant amount of America’s salt decided not to have flavor when it comes to elections. And when that happens, it fails to preserve.

"I will say what cannot be drawn from that is, 'Well clearly this is a rejection of MAGA, America first conservatism.' It's clearly not that because that's supported."

Producer @lanedeankendall breaks down what North Carolina's election results reveal about the distinction between voters' support for conservative policies and their feelings toward the candidates representing them.

Will the Lyceum program teach students the Bible? The Greeks alone won't give you
- dignity of human life
- family is the basis for society
- an appreciation for national traditions and borders
- fear of God and civil disobedience
- government limited by a constitution

Nailed it. The culture of self evident truths and morality discovered by pure reason without tradition or teachers leads to thw opposite of truth - to unlearning

The Bible was the most read book (BY FAR) in America at the time of the American Founding. People read it for its political wisdom, not merely for spiritual salvation. We could do the same today!
I'm excited to be speaking on this topic this weekend in Philly. Thank you Professor AJ Nolte from @RegentU for inviting me.

"If teachers exclude the Bible from their syllabi, they are no longer
really teaching America." @mark_bauerlein is spot on -- we shouldn't teach the Bible in schools as just another text. The Bible is the foundational text of Western nations, and should be taught as such

[First Things @firstthingsmag]

Should the Bible be taught in public schools simply as a foundation of cultural literacy, or does its presence in the classroom raise deeper questions about America’s religious heritage?

In this piece, Mark Bauerlein examines the controversy surrounding Texas’s inclusion of biblical passages in its K–12 curriculum, arguing that while the Bible is indispensable to understanding American history, literature, and civic life, treating it as merely another work of cultural background knowledge misses what makes Scripture uniquely significant.
