The "I'm a teacher, you're not smart enough to homeschool your kids!" posts are always hilarious

Teachers may look down on homeschool parents, but homeschool parents statisticslly deliver better results than teachers

Aka the "don't punch right!" crowd.

[Mulder’s Long Fight for Account Reinstatement @proteinwisdom]

Certain “right wing influencers” have for the last year openly waged war on discernment.

They couched it in appeals to loyalty. They argued that “unity” with unsavory people was necessary to defeat other, even *more* unsavory people. They embraced the Schmittian “friend-enemy distinction.”

As a result, anti-American identity Marxism, blood-and-soil European nativism, Christian nationalism, and dangerous, perfunctory isolationism, all made their ways into the GOP big tent. And this coarse Klan contingent has run an alt-right insurrection.

It’s long past time to embrace the power of “get the fuck out, Nazi freaks.”

I mean, why on earth would any conservative follow Poso? Candace Owens? Megyn Kelly? Dave Smith? Cernovich? Bannon?

Yeah.

Get them the fuck out.

So sad. The church is failing children and young adults.

[Mandy ✝ @SpringSteps]

I was talking with a left leaning young woman this weekend about the rise in antisemitism. She told me her entire generation hates the Israeli government & Israel in general. She believes that Israel is literally persecuting innocent people for no reason. She said she doesn’t know a single person at her university who defends Israel or is pro-Israel. (This is the South, btw) In her mind, her whole generation is united in believing Israel is evil.
I asked her why she thinks her generation feels this way. Her answer was actually quite honest-social media, the news, and what they are taught in school. The sad part is that her understanding of the conflict is extremely one sided. There was no awareness of the long history of the land, the wars, the rejected peace deals, or the thousands of years of Jewish connection to Israel.

This is 🎯. If God doesn't keep his promise with the Jews in Israel, God doesn't keep his promises to you either.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

God made a promise to Israel, Israel failed, and God moved on. Gave the promise to someone else. Replaced the original with an upgrade?

Is that really the character of Christ?

If you believe it, you have a bigger problem than eschatology. You have a God who walks away.

Think about what Christ actually did. He came to Israel. His own people. They rejected Him. They handed Him to Rome. They shouted “crucify Him.” By every measure of the “conditional promise” argument, that was the moment God should have been done.

The condition was broken as definitively as it could possibly be broken. The chosen people rejected the Son of God to His face.

And what did Christ do?

He died for them anyway.
On the cross He prayed “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” He didn’t say “Father, transfer the covenant. They failed the condition.” He said forgive them.

After the resurrection, He didn’t go to Rome. He didn’t go to the gentiles first. He appeared to His Jewish disciples. He sent them to Jerusalem first. Acts 1:8. “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Jerusalem first.

The character of Christ does not transfer covenants when people fail. The character of Christ pursues, forgives, restores, and keeps His word even when the other party breaks theirs. That is the entire Gospel. If God’s faithfulness depended on human performance, every one of us would be lost. Not just Israel. All of us.

If God replaced Israel for failing the condition, He would have replaced Peter for denying Him. He would have replaced you for every sin you’ve committed since the day you believed. He would have replaced me.

God does not break covenants. He fulfills them. He extends them. He grafts in new branches without cutting off the root. Romans 11:18. “Do not be arrogant toward the branches. It is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.”

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

I was watching Monsters Inc. with my kids the other night. It’s one of my all time favorite Pixar films.

But this time , I noticed a theme in the movie that was fascinating in connection with religion and Christianity specifically…

In the movie, the City of Monstropolis is literally running on fear. Screams power the city. And when supply runs short, the establishment’s answer is simple…

Scare harder.
And never question the system.

Mr. Waternoose and Randall threaten to silence anyone who threatens their system. But then Sully discovers something by accident. Boo’s laughter generates more energy than fear ever could. The very thing the system was suppressing (the joy of a child) was the most powerful force in the room.

This is a near-perfect picture of the difference between Christianity and every other religion on earth.

Every other religious system is fear-based.

Do enough.
Perform enough.
Earn your way past judgment.

The energy it produces is real, but it is exhausting and hollow.

Christianity runs on something entirely different. The Apostle John writes that “perfect love casts out fear, and that we have no fear of judgment because of what Christ has already done.” (1 John 4:18) It is the love of God that compels us to obey and serve Him, not the threat of wrath.

And just like Mr. Waternoose in Monsters Inc, there are those even within the church who would rather keep you afraid than let you discover how much more powerful grace and the love of God actually is.

The movie has a happy ending when the old system is destroyed and Sully leads the city into a new era of using love and joy as a new system to run the city on.

And so too has Christ done away with the fear of the law and judgment and given us hope in His righteousness that lets us come boldly to the Father as His forgiven children.

[Reverend Jordan Wells @WellsJorda89710]

Someone just told me:
“Pastor, you REALLY need to look into the modern state of Israel.”

Bro… I have TWO seminary degrees from top Bible schools.
Ordained minister.
Thousands of hours in the Word.
Read the Bible cover-to-cover multiple times.
Devoured ~10,000 theology books.

I didn’t get my view on Israel from CNN, TikTok, or some “enlightened” podcast.
My source? THE BIBLE. And it’s crystal clear.

2/4
The Bible says:
✅ The Jews would return to THEIR land in the last days (Ezek 37, Isa 11:11-12, Jer 31)
✅ Jerusalem would become a global flashpoint (Zech 12:3)
✅ ALL nations would eventually turn against Israel (Zech 14:2)
✅ Jesus Himself will return to ISRAEL — feet on the Mount of Olives (Zech 14:4, Acts 1:11)
✅ The eternal capital of King Jesus will be JERUSALEM — not Dubai, not NYC, not heaven (Rev 20-21, Zech 14)

3/4
The Bible literally says “ALL ISRAEL will be saved” (Rom 11:26).
God didn’t replace Israel.
He didn’t transfer the promises.
He didn’t change His mind.

If you think the church “replaced” Israel, you’re arguing with God’s unbroken covenant — and you’re gonna lose that debate.

4/4
So nah… I don’t need your YouTube documentaries, Al-Jazeera clips, or “demonic propaganda.”
I’ll stick with the most accurate book in history — the one that’s been 100% right on every prophecy so far.

God’s not done with Israel.
In fact, He’s just getting started.

Drop a 🇮🇱 if you stand with God’s Word over the world’s noise.

Another example why Idaho’s HB602 needs to pass.

[Paul A. Szypula 🇺🇸 @Bubblebathgirl]

Mayor Mamdani is now forcing NYPD to make Muslim prayers before eating with him.

Here comes Mamdani’s Sharia law.

[kcspectator @kcspectator]

Idaho's HB602 will ensure this doesn't happen in our state.

[@amuse @amuse]

ISLAMIFICATION: Minnesota lawmakers under the influence of the Somali patronage system are advancing legislation to ban semi-auto firearms while authorizing warrantless home inspections of gun owners. The proposal would allow officials to enter private residences to verify compliance mirroring provisions within Sharia law.

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

Just had the honor of interviewing Chase and Sarah Gibson, owners of Grooveberries Froyo in Coeur d'Alene, ID. After Charlie's assassination, they prayed and started putting memorial stickers on cups to honor his faith and legacy.

What started as 200 stickers sales quickly exploded to over 60,000+ cups served! They are even donating a portion of the proceeds to their local TPUSA and Club America chapters.

The hate came hard: in-person confrontations, death threats (even handwritten), messages from across the country and world. Yet the support has overwhelmingly drowned it out. Charlie's martyrdom is sparking a spiritual revival, and these patriots are part of the reason why.

If you're in or near Coeur d'Alene, stop by Grooveberries on Main St in the Village at Riverstone. Buy some froyo, show love, and help keep Charlie's voice alive. God bless them!

So thankful this passed the House and now onto the Senate!

[Steve Tanner @SteveTannerUSA]

Today I presented H602 Foreign Law bill on the house floor. This law reinforces Idaho public policy such that any use of a foreign law that violates the fundamental rights of Idahoans under the US and Idaho Constitutions will be rendered void and unenforceable. It passed 61-6-3. The bill goes to the Senate.

Born in America but competing for China? She should stay in China then.

[Theo Wold @RealTheoWold]

Eileen Gu-- who just won a silver medal in Slopestyle at the Olympics-- deserves more hate than any other athlete at the games.

She was born in America, grew up in San Francisco, went to expensive private schools, is now a junior at Stanford, but competes at the Olympics for China and makes millions of dollars doing it.

And the media constantly hypes her up and wants to turn her into a star even though she's a textbook case of how the CCP infiltrates and manipulates American institutions.
