Trump has ordered regulators to fast-track new nuclear plants.
Democratic senators call that dangerous.
“That's just a bunch of crap," says Ray Rothrock of @TheBTI, "They're afraid of something they don't need to be afraid of.”

As someone who grew up in the Muslim world, I’ve seen this pattern repeat itself:
When Muslims are weak and in the minority, they speak endlessly about tolerance, coexistence, and peace.
When they become strong and gain power, that tolerance completely disappears, even toward their own people.
This isn’t an opinion. This is historical fact, proven across centuries and across many countries.
The West needs to understand this pattern before it’s too late.
Tolerance in Islam is not a principle. It’s a strategy.
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.
People's need to punish dissenters is often a confession of doubt.
If something is obviously true, you don’t need to punish people for refusing to say it. We don’t have to coerce agreement that the sky is blue. Everyone can see it.
But when an idea is uncertain, fragile, or possibly untrue, the pressure to enforce belief becomes stronger. You have to punish dissent because the consensus itself is doing the work. The point is not merely to recognize what is true, but to make everyone publicly affirm the same thing as true.

White skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus. But we spread it wherever we go—through our words, our actions, and our systems. We don’t have to be showing symptoms—like a white hood or a Confederate flag—to be contagious.
Do you struggle to let go of resentment? To give up the last word? To not win the argument?
Humble people do not engage in conflict with a sense of entitlement. They do not feel a right to be treated better than Jesus was.
Instead, the humble trust that God will vindicate them in his time. And that frees them from the need to demand their rights in this world.
