@NYCMayor *we Americans, * we New Yorkers. The last “us” is correct.
And every act of dissent is not an act of patriotism if what you feel is “righteous” is just your opinion of what righteousness is and not based on the principles of the constitution.
Everyone must read this book at least once. C.S. Lewis's masterful defense of Christianity. A summary:
1. Every day we appeal to a standard of right and wrong that we expect everyone else to recognize, even though none of us consistently live up to it.
2. That Moral Law isn't just instinct or social convention. It points beyond the material world to a true, objective standard. There must be a mind behind the universe.
3. Why is the Moral Law not just biological instinct? Because our instincts often conflict and we believe some should override others. E.g. you feel both the instinct to run from danger and to help someone in need — the Moral Law tells you which impulse you ought to follow.
4. That gets you to a Moral Lawgiver (God), but not yet to Christianity. The next question is which view of God best explains both the reality of morality and the reality of evil.
5. Christianity's answer is that the world was made good, corrupted by human rebellion, and is now the battleground between good and evil (because created beings are free to choose). Unlike say dualism, which makes good and evil equal opposing powers (and you have no basis to call one better than the other), Christianity explains evil best as a corruption of originally good creation.
6. If that is the human condition, the question becomes whether God has done anything about it, or whether we are left to fix ourselves or simply decay. Christianity's answer is that God has already acted in history in a decisive way through Jesus.
7. Then, everything rests on Jesus's claims. You can't reduce him to "just a great moral teacher" — if his claims about himself are true, he's God. If not, they demand another explanation.
8. Then, the Resurrection is key. That it really happened is the best explanation of the earliest Christian testimony, the sudden transformation of the disciples, and the rapid rise of belief in a risen Christ.
9. If Christ really did die and rise again, Christianity cannot just be another philosophy, but rather God's intervention to reconcile humanity to himself and begin creating a new kind of human being.
10. And that's why Christianity is not simply about following rules. It is about becoming a "little Christ": a person transformed through faith, prayer, repentance, and the practices of Christian life (e.g. the Eucharist or baptism).
🚨 AMERICA JUST SHOWED THE WORLD WHAT REAL POWER LOOKS LIKE … AND IT WAS BREATHTAKING.
Yesterday, February 28, 2026, the greatest fighting force in human history … the United States military … unleashed hell in perfect coordination with our unbreakable ally Israel.
Watch this definitive breakdown from @ab51_project and feel your chest swell with pride.
Two American aircraft carriers … the USS Abraham Lincoln and the mighty USS Gerald R. Ford … positioned like gods of the sea. Arleigh Burke-class destroyers slicing through the waves. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers gliding invisible through the night. F-35s, F-15Es, F/A-18s, Tomahawks, submarines … every single asset moving as one.
They didn’t just attack.
They didn’t just bomb.
They executed Operation Epic Fury with mathematical precision … “Time on Target” … so that Israeli jets and American missiles slammed into Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, and every critical Iranian target at the EXACT same second.
Iranian radars … blinded.
Their S-300s and S-400s … useless.
Their air defenses … turned to ash before they could even light up.
Electronic warfare from space, sea, and air … decoys, cyber ghosts, false data flooding their systems … left the regime staring at empty skies while American steel rained down with surgical fury.
They went for the head … Supreme Leader Khamenei and his top terror cabal.
They went for the heart … missile factories, nuclear sites, command centers.
And they hit every mark.
This isn’t escalation.
This isn’t aggression.
This is America at full strength.
This is what happens when the sleeping giant opens one eye and decides enough is enough.
This is the country that built the F-35, the B-2, the Ford-class carriers, the Tomahawk swarm, and the unbreakable alliance with Israel … showing every tyrant on Earth why no one, NO ONE, comes close to our league.
I get chills watching this.
Tears in my eyes.
Because this is MY military.
This is OUR military.
These are OUR sons and daughters … OUR technology … OUR resolve … protecting freedom, protecting Israel, protecting the world from the next Holocaust.
To every American watching … stand tall.
To every ally watching … you are safe because America stands with you.
To every enemy watching … sleep with one eye open. We are awake now.
God bless the United States Armed Forces.
God bless Israel.
God bless the greatest nation on Earth.
Share this far and wide. Let the world see what real American power looks like.

I'm glad the villain of the new Toy Story is a child's tablet. I hope the film conveys how screens eat up a child's hobbies, interests, literacy, ability to function socially. I hope it provokes millions of parents to think twice before making the iPad a babysitter.
@Alec_Zeck My daughter’s thyroid cancer was detected at her 13 y/o well check. It had already spread to her lymph nodes. Thank God we took her in for her “worthless” check up.

NEW: Father of 22-year-old woman who was brutally killed by a career criminal, absolutely unleashes during a House hearing against soft-on-crime policies.
"[He] dragged her out of bed naked, forced on her knees with her hands over her head ... BANG! Dead. Gone."
"Why? Because Alexander Davante Dickey, who was arrested 39 godd*mn times, 25 felonies, was on the street..."
Logan Federico was visiting friends at the University of South Carolina on May 3 when career criminal Alexander Dickey, 30, broke in and shot her before stealing her credit cards and going on a shopping spree.
Dickey had 39 previous arrests and 25 felonies.
Everyone responsible for keeping this man on the streets should be thrown in prison.
My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.

@gatorgar I have the Bible app and really enjoy the Contemporary English Version. Super-easy to read. When writing Sunday School lessons i like to use the app to compare versions of a verse and find the one that best fits the situation.
