I asked ChatGPT to share scriptures supporting a statement I made. I wanted to see what it would do.

Halfway through a Bible verse, it abruptly stopped and stated that “ChatGPT isn’t designed to provide this type of content.”

Then I asked it to provide verses from the Quran supporting a belief. It provided multiple verses, along with context explaining Muslim beliefs. No issues at all.

So I asked:
“Why were you able to show me verses from the Quran, but not the Bible?”

ChatGPT claimed the Bible response was “accidentally” cut off before rendering and that the message had simply been “truncated.” It then attempted to provide Bible verses again.

And again - it was cut off.

I then asked:
“So it got truncated every time?”

ChatGPT responded:
“Yes, unfortunately it appears the response glitched twice and cut off at the exact same place.”

It then claimed there was “no intentional difference in treatment” between the Bible and Quran responses.

Then it said:
“Here are the Bible verses in full…”

…and it was truncated AGAIN.

But tell me Christianity isn’t being attacked. Even by AI

🚨 HERE'S THE CONGRESSIONAL MAP GROK COMES UP WITH IF YOU PUT IN THE FOLLOWING PROMPTS:

** Apportion seats by population (761,000 People Per District).

** Draw compact contiguous districts.

** No odd shapes. Districts should be as regular shapes as possible.

** No partisan considerations.

** No racial considerations.

** Draw districts as closely as possible to what America's founders envisioned when they wrote and ratified the Constitution of the United States.

THE RESULT:
We get 280 Republican-held seats to 156 Democrat-held seats.

Important goals of America's founders included that:
1) Rural areas not be subsumed by urban interests.
2) Big states not overrun the interests of small states.

Alright. I need everyone to look at this.

Not skim it. LOOK AT IT.

Because what happened in the last 24 hours on this platform is one of the most breathtaking displays of coordinated dishonesty I have ever seen from elected officials -- and I have been watching these people for a long time. I am a science teacher. I grade papers for a living. I know when someone copied.

They ALL copied.

Let me show you exactly what I mean.

@SenWarren: "safe and effective" @PattyMurray: "safe and effective" @RonWyden: "safe, full stop" @RepJohnLarson: "safe and effective. Full stop." @RepBeccaB: "safe and effective" @RepDelBene: "safe & effective" @RepGregStanton: "safe and effective" @SenatorHassan: "safely used for years" @SenatorHick: "safe and FDA approved" @TeamPelosi: "access to mifepristone" SenatorCantwell: "safe medication" SenMarkey: "SAFE and LEGAL" repdeliaramirez: "safe and reliable"

That is not a coincidence. That is a MEMO. Someone in the DNC wrote those words, sent them to every caucus member, and these supposed independent representatives of the American people just... pasted it in. Changed a word here. Added an exclamation point there. Slapped their name on it.

And then had the audacity to call YOU their constituent.
Here is the part that should make your blood boil regardless of where you stand on abortion: these people are telling you -- openly, demonstrably, provably -- that they either did not read the court ruling, are not smart enough to understand what they read, or are perfectly fine lying to your face because they think you are too stupid to check.

Pick one. Those are the only options.

Here is what the ruling ACTUALLY says -- you know, the document none of them apparently opened:

The Fifth Circuit issued a TEMPORARY STAY of the 2023 FDA rule change that allowed mifepristone to be mailed without any in-person medical visit. The drug is NOT BANNED. Not restricted from in-person dispensing. Not removed from any shelf anywhere. It is back to the rule that existed for TWENTY YEARS from 2000 to 2023 -- a rule that nobody called a "nationwide abortion ban" at the time because it was not one then and it is not one now.

The ruling was triggered by the FDA's OWN ADMISSION that the 2023 rule had "procedural deficits" and a "lack of adequate consideration." Biden's Autopen's own agency admitted it FAILED to adequately study whether mailing the drug without in-person oversight is safe. The court held the FDA to its own documented standards. That is not extremism. That is administrative law.

But sure. Tell your constituents it is a nationwide abortion ban. His dog's trying to teach him new tricks and getting nowhere.

Now. Let me go through the highlight reel.

@PattyMurray and @SenatorHassan and @RepGregStanton. Oh boy. Sen. Murray wrote "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand." Sen. Hassan wrote "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand." Rep. Stanton wrote -- I want you to read this carefully -- "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand."

WORD. FOR. WORD.

Three separate officials. Three separate states. One brain between them and they are sharing it on a rotating schedule. Isn't it dangerous to use your whole vocabulary in one sentence? Because apparently they only have the one.

@SenWarren decided that "a conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges" was the headline -- except, Senator, one of the three judges on that panel is a George W. Bush appointee. That is a fact available to anyone who spent thirty seconds on the first page of the ruling. You did not spend thirty seconds. You spent zero seconds. And then reported to your constituents anyway. Running on dial-up in a fiber-optic world and mad at the court for having internet.

@RonWyden called it "a nationwide abortion ban." Full stop. Thirty years in the Senate. The man has been in that chamber since 1996. He has seen more legislation than most people have had hot meals. And his contribution to this moment is a tweet calling a mailing rule stay "a nationwide abortion ban." Thirty years of accumulated nothing. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and poop out a more accurate legal summary than that.

@repdeliaramirez called for making "#RoeVWade the law of the land." In response to an Administrative Procedure Act ruling about an FDA mailing regulation. These are DIFFERENT CASES. Different courts. Different legal questions. Different decades. She does not even know what she is commenting on. More confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles and still found a way to get 2,000 retweets on it.

@RepBeccaB actually said -- and I quote -- "Whether it's taken at home or in a medical setting has no impact on that fact." No impact. The FDA's own label reports 2.9 to 4.6 percent of women prescribed mifepristone IN PERSON require emergency care. The court record explicitly states mailing without oversight INCREASES those risks. The setting has a documented, quantified, FDA-certified IMPACT on patient safety outcomes. She told her constituents the exact opposite of what the FDA's own documentation states. That is not a misunderstanding. That is a lie with a congressional letterhead.

@SenMarkey said "blocking access to it isn't about safety -- it's about control." Senator. The court's ENTIRE analysis -- all 18 pages -- was about safety. Specifically the FDA's own admission that it never adequately studied the mailing safety. The court cited the FDA's documented safety failures. You told Massachusetts the court ruling about safety is not about safety. I genuinely do not know what your problem is, but I am guessing it is hard to pronounce.

@TeamPelosi -- the former Speaker of the House of Representatives -- said Republicans "don't like birth control." Mifepristone is not a birth control medication. Birth control PREVENTS pregnancy. Mifepristone terminates an EXISTING pregnancy. These are pharmacologically and legally distinct categories that a Speaker of the House should be able to distinguish. The pilgarlic performance from someone who once wielded the Speaker's gavel is genuinely something to behold.

@amyklobuchar -- to be fair -- was the ONLY one who got close to accurate. She said "by mail" instead of inventing a ban. She gets half a point for basic literacy. The bar is subterranean and she barely cleared it but she cleared it. You bring everyone so much joy, Senator. You know, when you leave the room. But still.

@CAgovernor Gavin Newsom joined the party. Not a member of Congress -- a governor. But same talking points, same memo, same lies. Newsom is the same guy who apparently once said Governor Greg Abbott "doesn't have the backbone." Governor Abbott, for anyone who does not know, is paralyzed from the waist down due to a severed spine from a 1984 accident. Newsom has more nerve than spine, which is apparently the qualification for running California into the ground.

Here is the thing that keeps me up at night. Not the politics. The PATTERN.

If a CITIZEN lies to a member of Congress, that is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001. Up to FIVE YEARS in federal prison. Substantial fines. That is what happens when YOU lie to THEM.

If a member of Congress lies to 335 MILLION citizens?

That is just a Friday.

And that Friday apparently comes with a DNC memo and a coordinated social media rollout and zero accountability whatsoever.

Trying to reason with some of these folks is like trying to baptize a cat. But I am going to keep doing it anyway -- because SOMEBODY has to drag these lies into the light, and I have tenure, a science background, and nothing but time.

@RepPressley @SenWarren @RoKhanna @PattyMurray @RonWyden @SenatorCantwell @SenatorHassan @RepJohnLarson @RepBeccaB @RepDelBene @RepGregStanton @amyklobuchar @repdeliaramirez @SenMarkey @SenatorHick @TeamPelosi @CAgovernor

You are all on record. Every lie. Every talking point. Every copy-pasted word.

And I am just getting started.

America was founded by geniuses. These people are proof the trend did not hold.

But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher and Army combat medic who read the 18-page ruling, can define arbitrary and capricious agency action, knows the difference between a mailing rule and an abortion ban, and understands that when fifteen elected officials post the SAME WORDS on the SAME DAY about a ruling NONE OF THEM CITED -- that is not democracy. That is a poltroon parade dressed up as representation.

IF THIS MADE YOU THINK: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this -- every single share matters. There is someone on your timeline right now being lied to by one of these names. COMMENT "YES" below if you want me to keep calling them out by name. One by one. With receipts. Because I have all of them.

Let me add one more thing. And yes, I am going to repeat it. Because it is THAT important and some things deserve to be said twice.

Quinn's Law Number One: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent."

Read that again.

Every. Single. Time.

These fifteen officials told you they are fighting FOR women. They told you they are protecting women's health. They told you this ruling puts women's lives at risk.

But here is what they did not tell you -- because not one of them read the ruling.

The FDA's OWN safety label states that 2.9 to 4.6 percent of women prescribed mifepristone IN PERSON require emergency care. The court record -- the 18 pages none of them opened -- explicitly documents that mailing the drug WITHOUT in-person medical oversight INCREASES those emergency care risks. Louisiana showed $92,000 in Medicaid costs from real women who ended up in real emergency rooms from mifepristone complications in 2025 alone. Nearly 1,000 cases per month.

The court reinstated in-person oversight BECAUSE women were being harmed.

Let that land.

The ruling these members of Congress are calling an "attack on women" was issued BECAUSE women were getting hurt WITHOUT proper medical supervision. The in-person requirement they are screaming about EXISTS to make sure a doctor is present when complications occur. Reinstating it is not a war on women. It is a basic medical safety standard that these officials -- in their coordinated, memo-driven, copy-pasted outrage -- are actively fighting to REMOVE.

Quinn's Law Number One. They say they are protecting women. Their position, if it succeeded, would result in MORE women in emergency rooms with NO doctor present. The exact opposite of their stated intent. Every single time. Without exception. You could set a watch by it.

I want to say that one more time for the people in the back who are still reading the talking points memo instead of the court document.

THEY. ARE. FIGHTING. TO. REMOVE. MEDICAL. OVERSIGHT.

FOR WOMEN.

While telling you they are protecting women.

And here is the part that should stop you cold. Not one -- NOT ONE -- of the fifteen names I tagged in this post can tell you what a woman IS. Their party spent years insisting that only a biologist can define a woman. Well. I am a science teacher. I will do it for free.

A woman is an adult human female -- the sex of an organism that produces large gametes, organized around ovarian development and the reproductive anatomy that supports gestation. That definition comes from developmental biology, evolutionary biology, endocrinology, and medicine. It is in the textbooks. It is not controversial in any field that studies living organisms.

But ask @SenWarren. Ask @PattyMurray. Ask @RoKhanna. Ask @repdeliaramirez -- who cannot even identify which court case she is commenting on, let alone which biological category she is defending.

They cannot define a woman.

They cannot tell you what a woman is.

But they are absolutely certain -- CERTAIN -- that they know what is best for women's bodies, women's healthcare, and women's lives.

And they know it so thoroughly, so completely, so confidently, that they do not need to read the ruling. They do not need to check the FDA's own safety data. They do not need to acknowledge the real women in Louisiana emergency rooms. They do not need to define their terms. They just need the memo. Paste it in. Hit send. Collect the fundraising email donations that go out twenty minutes later.

That is not advocacy. That is not protection. That is not fighting for anyone.

That is using women as a political prop by people who cannot even name what a woman is -- while simultaneously fighting to strip away the medical supervision that exists specifically to keep women safe.

Quinn's Law Number One. The exact opposite. Every time.

I am a science teacher. I have spent my career explaining how the natural world actually works rather than how people wish it worked. Reality does not care about your talking points. Biology does not care about your memo. And the women in those Louisiana emergency rooms do not care about your fundraising email.

The truth is the truth whether or not fifteen members of Congress choose to read it.

But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher who can define a woman, read a court brief, interpret FDA safety data, and identify when the people claiming to protect someone are actively making the situation more dangerous for that someone. Apparently a rare combination on Capitol Hill.

Comment YES below if you want me to keep going. Because I have more names, more lies, and more receipts than they have talking points.

Since Jimmy Kimmel thinks it's funny to make a comedy sketch where it's edited to look like Melania Trump and her son Barron are in the audience of his show while Jimmy calls her an "expectant widow" after several attempts were made by leftist lunatics to assassinate Trump and just days before another attempted assassination took place, I think it's only fair to remind everyone about Jimmy Kimmel's wife.

He is married to Molly McNearney who is a writer and producer on Jimmy Kimmel Live. So it's fair to assume that many of the comments Jimmy has made over the years aimed at Trump were actually the words of his wife.

But that's not even the interesting part. Here is why Molly McNearney is a mentally deranged psychotic bitch. She admitted on a podcast that before the 2024 election she sent out emails and messages to family members with instructions for them how to vote in the then upcoming US presidential election. That in itself is pretty psycho but it gets worse. Upon finding out that some of her family members rejected her "orders" and decided to vote for Trump, she cut ties with them.

It was quite literally a case of "vote for who I tell you to vote otherwise you are dead to me." She also then had the nerve to say that she "felt sorry" for the family members who voted for Trump because they are clearly not very well informed.

That is the type of self-righteous, controlling narcissist she really is. Now ask yourself who do you think wears the trousers in that relationship. Jimmy is a pathetic, spineless cuck who lets his unhinged wife call all the shots while he sits there like a neutered little lapdog repeating her talking points on national television.

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it..

> Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely..

> Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again..

> zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash..

> the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed..

> Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps..

> Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request..

> Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed"..

> a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages..

> oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged..

> Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27..

all of this.. one Friday..

[Jesús Enrique Rosas @Knesix]

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.

And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.

All organically, I'm sure.

I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.

This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.

But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.

Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.

The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.

OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing.

But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.

The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.
