Garbage and Grace - a lot of both in my line of work

Truth be told.

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

I'm not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the Intifada like it's the World Cup.

Delta flight: mechanical problem. Couldn’t depart. Gate agents quick to send us away to the help desk. Help desk said my question needed to be handled by the gate agents. That’s not great customer service, @Delta
But at least I got some steps in…

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

How do we ensure America is around for another 250 years? We pass the SAVE America Act and end birthright citizenship.

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

If you love Jesus you should love what Jesus loves, and that ultimately means you should be an official, active, and serving member of your local church (Eph. 5:25).

Church membership should be normal for Christians. Lives lived in regular accountability demonstrate the gospel’s reality to the world, particularly through the mutual love that Jesus identified as the mark of his followers. This is both biblical and strengthens evangelistic witness. Weaker and newer Christians gain feeding and accountability through membership, and mature and seasoned believers demonstrate authentic Christian living.

Hebrews calls believers to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” explicitly warning against forsaking assembly “as the manner of some is” (Heb. 10:24–25). This suggests participation isn’t optional but essential to spiritual health.

Church membership preserves biblical truth by establishing who bears responsibility for rooting out false teaching and protecting the gospel when leadership itself becomes compromised. Paul’s letter to the Galatians exemplifies this. I say this as a positional elder in my church — Paul appealed to the whole congregation rather than leadership alone to address doctrinal corruption. Think about it: how are you to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal 6:2), which positions mutual care as a central Christian obligation, if you’re not actively in a membership role? Thessalonians similarly exhorts believers to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thess 5:11), framing encouragement as a reciprocal responsibility that requires presence and investment.

Healthy membership equips believers to recognize heresy when taught or communicated and transforms them from passive consumers into active defenders of the faith.

Acts depicts the early church persevering in apostolic teaching, communion, and gathering daily, with believers holding possessions in common (Acts 2:42–47), a portrait of intensive communal engagement rather than individual isolated devotion or nominal affiliation.

Ultimately, practicing membership glorifies God as Christians gather to form his body, living under the life giving words of scripture, fellowshipping with one another sacrificially, and reflecting his character.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

In a decent world this wouldn’t have to be said. Charlie Kirk was viciously, brutally murdered and Erika Kirk suffered an unimaginable loss. She deserves sympathy, respect, support and Christian love.

No one with a shred of decency would target her for attack. No one with a shred of decency would platform someone who attacks her.

No one with a molecule of benevolence and integrity would enable these attacks, including by listening to them and even entertaining the notion that these conspiracy theories are remotely credible.

Shame on the whole lot of these cretins. I’ve had it up to my eyeballs seeing this over and over. Quit pretending this is behavior that decent people would tolerate. I hope they get their comeuppance.

Our Supreme Court is ruled by toxic femininity

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

Today’s decision regarding birthright citizenship is a travesty.

The Fourteenth Amendment was written to overturn Dred Scott and guarantee citizenship to freed slaves—not to create automatic citizenship for the children of those who violate our immigration laws or are only temporarily in the United States. This decision will only invite further exploitation of our immigration system.

The Court adopted an interpretation that departs from the original meaning of the Constitution and incentivizes illegal immigration.

Congress retains the authority to clarify federal law, and it should act immediately to restore the original meaning of the Citizenship Clause and protect the integrity of American citizenship.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

Well the Supreme Court has made their decision…and apparently 5 of the justices think the authors of the 14th amendment clearly meant anyone could randomly show up illegally, have a baby, and that suddenly meant citizenship.

We should now move to significantly cut all immigration, and significantly reduce visas.

Look, I wanted to be reasonable. But reason doesn’t seem to work for some people, so now we have to take more drastic measures.

It’s a shame really, but that’s where we are.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

A reminder that the Constitution was not written to restrain the citizens' behavior.

It was written to restrain the government's behavior.

[Erick Erickson @EWErickson]

Maybe the foreigners have it right. Maybe the eagle and the flyover and the canyon and the kindness of a stranger with car keys really are worth crossing an ocean to see. Maybe, watching them fall in love with the place we take for granted, we could fall in love with it again ourselves and decide to be a little more charitable to the neighbor God told us to love, even when we cannot stand how he votes.

Dear Christian, pay no attention to those who say your affliction is merely random or demonic.
