Our pleasure and our duty,
Though opposite before,
Since we have seen His beauty,
Are joined apart no more.

To see the law by Christ fulfilled
And hear His pardoning voice,
Transforms a slave into a child,
And duty into choice.

—John Newton

You just ran off the Chicago Bears because they couldn't afford the $53M a year in taxes imposed by you and Brandon Johnson.

Anyhow, welcome to the Hoosier State, Bears.

Candace Owens is in Russia now posting about how amazing it is. As someone who grew up there, I can tell you with absolute assurance that you’re being played.

The America-hating Left is not attacking Tucker, Megyn, Fuentes, or Candace. They’re attacking Ben.

Understand what’s going on here.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Worth reading slowly.

[Blake Neff @BlakeSNeff]

As revolting as this is, I'm actually a little glad that Candace said this, because it renders her agenda so transparent.

It's not "asking questions," it's not a hunt for "the truth." It's emotionally manipulative high school-level bullying from a narcissist. She is bitter that a person far better than her eventually saw her for who she really was, so she wants postumous revenge by attacking his family and the people he chose to put ahead of her.

How can people still fall for this act?

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Beginning to hate it.

Folks, this is real simple. Sasse rightly says that having a child is “placing a bet on the future.” Perfect. Here’s another key driver, then, of sex & birth rate declines: hopelessness. In the industrialized world, young people are suffering from chronic hopelessness.

[George Yancey @profyancey]

If we had politicians like Sasse, regardless of whether you agree with him politically or not, that looked at the big issues and where to take the country rather than stroke the current hot topic of our time, we would be so much better off than we are today. So glad God is giving him some extra time to impart this wisdom.

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

LOL

[Ben Sasse @BenSasse]

i can still live another 50 years if @Mike_Pence has the courage

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Amazingly brilliant. I can’t recommend @BenSasse enough.

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

Senator Ben Sasse, nearing the end of his life with the utmost grace and dignity, reflects on the foundations of patriotism. It begins with the devotion to your family, your neighbors, your faith, and your community. That’s the core idea of the American spirit - and the source of all the blessings America has today.

[Ben Sasse @BenSasse]

“Religion withdrew to its own arena, lost the relationship in which it stood with the other sciences, and appointed itself as the great master whose task it was to impede the unwelcome progress that the other sciences were making. All too often it forgot that our beautiful confession says that we know God from two books: the book of Scripture, as well as the book of Nature in which the majesty of the Lord of lords is revealed to us in golden letters.”

If it's the very first commandment, it's probably not one of the more important ones.

Lol one of the funniest posts on this app in awhile.

Got my horse to water. Now for the easy part

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Yes 👏🏼

[Justin Giboney @JustinEGiboney]

Conservatives aren’t necessarily wrong abt James Talarico. His faith doesn’t challenge any element of the secular progressive social agenda. That’s wrong and seems like a political gimmick.

The problem is they’ve lost credibility by failing to apply a biblical standard to Trump.

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Candace Owens hardest hit.

[CNN @CNN]

President Donald Trump recognized Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, during the State of the Union address. She was one of the president's guests. https://t.co/iCnVvVzOu4

Find me a clip that aged more poorly than this one of @megynkelly. I dare you.

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

.@RealCandaceO is evil.

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Wow, this is beautiful. Amazing testimony of God's grace.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Ben Sasse is facing death and reveling in the glory of grace.

This is what life is about.

[Austin Line @itsaustinline]

Great insight.

[Dave Rubin @RubinReport]

On Tucker and Megyn...

Something hit me last night outside of their obvious descent into conspiracy riddled madness and endless chase for every last click.

Both of them came from mainstream media and are still relatively new to the online world. This isn’t the place they wanted to be, rather it’s the place they were banished to.

They come from the cutthroat mainstream world which only cares about views and egos. So their behavior in this ecosystem is just replicating that. They love the feuds, the quest for ratings, the little lies, the backstabbing, because that’s all they knew from their previous lives.

The online word was built by people who forged trusted audiences over long periods of time. Not people who were just given a flashy set, smacked with a lot of makeup and sat behind high contrast lighting and a shiny desk.

Trust and authenticity is the key in this world, but that’s not the world they come from.

Tucker was going down this path for awhile, and Megyn saw clicks and attention so dove in. As their ship sinks, they’re gripping onto each other like Rose and Jack at the end of Titanic.

Their former mainstream colleagues have lost respect for them, and they’ve chosen to spit in the faces of the new media people who they think they’re better than.

As they float in the icy waters of conspiracy and clicks, it’s important to note they never wanted to be in this space to begin with. They genuinely think they’re better than everyone else in the game because of their names, but that doesn’t fly in the online world.

On cable news you can lie to your audience over and over, and they’ll just keep tuning in because it’s all they know.

In the online world people will wisen up and find better choices.

They have chosen each other.

We’ll see how that works out for them…
