It’s fine to believe that being anti-Trump justifies supporting every Democrat imaginable, but just don’t pretend it’s a principled stand to demand higher standards for Republicans while applying zero standards for Dems.
Abdul El-Sayed was the easiest litmus test imaginable for anyone who claims to have actual standards that aren’t just based on partisan hackery. He’s a radical extremist. He surrounds himself with the most hateful and extreme people imaginable. That’s also his support base. These are people he chooses to promote and associate with because he agrees with them. His own past positions and statements back that up.
Again, you can justify it however you want. Say that having a Dem in that seat is more important than opposing such radicalism on the left. But stop gaslighting people by pretending there are any principles that apply here other than being anti-Republican.
@NewsHour@PolitiFact What you mean is that you’re attempting to normalize something that is far from normal. The question is - why are you trying to normalize it.
Truth is - we see you @NewsHour and we know why. Shame on you.
Capitalism creates a thing.
Socialist like the thing and want it all the time at no cost.
Socialist seize means of producing thing.
Nobody has thing anymore.
Driving home from Nashville a few days ago, the wife wanted to stop in Franklin to do a bit of Christmas shopping. Obedient to her wishes as I am, I make the detour and park. As we strolled along the square, I see an older man sitting alone on a bench. Being the sort who initiates conversation with strangers, I say jokingly:
“You look like a man who is waiting for his wife while she spends his money.”
He gives me a wan smile and replies: “I wish I was.” His voice cracks. “She passed away last November.”
We stop. I extend a sympathetic hand. He shakes it and rises to greet us. Lauri asks him about his wife, and he tells us what a wonderful woman she was and of their 50 years of marriage. His eyes welling with tears, he says he comes to the square and sits on that bench daily to reminisce about her because it was their spot for decades. He seems glad to have someone, even strangers, with whom he can talk.
We chat a bit longer, exchange numbers, and I ask him if we can pray for him. A believer, he readily accepts the offer. So, right there on the square in Franklin we pray for the Lord’s comforting presence and peace in his loss. We open our eyes and, at that very moment, a woman walks by hurriedly and reaches for the bench behind this fellow. Only I see it, and I think she might be stealing his phone which he had left on the bench when he rose to speak with us.
I walk to the bench to investigate and see that she’s left a card, a little plastic dove glued on it, proclaiming the hope of John 3:16. I look up to see her far down the sidewalk, her brisk pace undiminished, placing them everywhere in her own evangelistic endeavor. God bless her for it.
Lauri and I wished our new friend well and proceeded to shop. I bought a new vest at her encouragement — “It looks good on you” — and she bought some aromatic candles — “cinnamon vanilla.” But all the while we were thinking of this man and the seemingly coincidental nature of our meeting. The Lord had used us to visibly encourage him.
I cannot tell you the number of times I have had such encounters simply because I spoke to a stranger: a taxi driver who told me someone had murdered his daughter; a waitress who cried when I told her she was doing a good job; a contractor who, just last week, revealed to me how the Lord had delivered him from meth addiction when I was sharing the Gospel with him; and a young woman who looked unsettled and I simply asked her what troubled her so.
There are people all around you who carry secret burdens, and the Lord puts you in their path for a reason. Do you notice them? Or do you press on to “more important” things? Pray that the Lord gives you eyes to see them and the heart to minister to them. It will do you as much good as you do them.
If you want to know why America is polarized, it’s the fault of the media.
Yesterday, the Free Beacon, a conservative outlet, caught Abdul Sayed in a lie when Abdul denied his family had a connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. The FB showed a tweet by his own sister saying their mother belonged to the MB.
The revelation that Abdul lied about his family ties to a radical Islamic terrorist group was ignored by NBC, ABC, CBS’s nightly news shows. The NYT and WP haven’t covered it.
This should be a screaming front page story. Instead, the MSM runs cover for Abdul.
The American people just want to know the truth about their politicians. Instead, the media are helping Abdul cover up the truth.
Abdul has a lot to hide. It’s a tragedy the MSM is part of the team helping him hide it.
An entire generation of spoiled brats who’ve never built anything, stand on the crumbling empire they don’t deserve, built by great and courageous men who are now judged through the moral lens of the softest dorks living in the easiest times. Oy vey.
@NYCMayor Your mask has come off and what is beneath it is a soul nourished on hatred. Hamas in a suit and tie is still Hamas. You will fail as they did.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivers a speech for the ages from the Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
Listen to the entire speech to understand the dangers the West faces.
It's critical to our survival.
It’s always crazy to me how a .45 cent per gallon gas increase can cost a political party control of Congress, but an additional $1500 dollars in public school property taxes isn’t enough to get people to question their school boards.
This is remarkably well done. Thank you for taking the time to set the record straight and demolish the slanderous propaganda suffocating the truth on this entire issue
Some melodies aren’t just meant to be heard, they can be experienced visually, too. Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” offers a captivating blend of music and visual beauty.
