I've been running an account "as" William Tyndale since 2016. It has been a great joy to see his quotes and translations bless followers from 6 continents. Neverthelater, we've gone through all his books twice over..

The cause why I set my name before this little Treatise, and have not rather done it in the New Testament is, that then I followed the counsel of Christ, which exhorteth men (Matt vi) to do their good deeds secretly & to be content with the conscience of well doing...

@RichardBaze For real! I was just explaining to the ppl I was with that we are about to be sellers.

Faithful men do things for God that may look crazy to men without faith, but faithful men don’t do stunts just to see what God will do.

“Restoring the health of Eastern Christianity… is the only way out of the West’s endless struggle session in the Middle East.”

Incredibly well said @LightlyBurdened.

@thejoezaza I read this and heard him saying it in Thomas Shelby's voice in all genuine seriousness haha

[jesse jacob 💼 @LightlyBurdened]

Restoring the health of Eastern Christianity is essential to the general wellness of the world, and the only way out of the West's endless struggle session in the Middle East. I am a proud ally of this account and the movement behind it!

[The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ @AramaicWire]

What is the goal of Aramaic Wire?

I want to build a movement of Christians who care about Christianity surviving in the Middle East.

I want Christians to care about the survival of Aramaic & ancient nations like Assyrians & Maronites.

There is nothing else I care about.

@thejoezaza I've never pounded the "Follow" button harder for anyone than I just did for @RickApplet0n. Welcome to the church militant on X, brother.

[The Aramaic Wire ܣܘܪܝܐ @AramaicWire]

Christians should advocate for their own interests. Stop being pawns for other groups. We have to kindle Christian nationalism that puts Christian heritage & survival in the Middle East above all, not as a tool for Muslims or Jews, but for Christians. Christianity first.

Most people have no idea that downtown Seattle used to have a hill the size of a 20 story building sitting right in the middle of it.

Denny Hill. 220 feet tall. The city looked at it and decided to just get rid of it. Not tunnel through it. Not build around it. Erase it completely.

So they pointed giant water cannons at the hill and blasted it apart with pressurized water, then washed the mud down into Puget Sound. It took them from 1897 to 1930 and they moved more than 11 million cubic yards of dirt. An entire hill, hosed into the bay.

And here is the part that sounds made up. Some homeowners refused to sell. So the engineers just carved the hill away around them. That left houses stranded on top of skinny towers of dirt, some of them a full hundred feet in the air, reachable only by a long wooden staircase. People called them spite mounds. The holdouts all caved eventually, and those last pillars got washed away too.

Now go to Chicago. In the 1850s the whole city was basically a mud pit with no drainage, so they made a decision that is hard to even picture. They raised the entire city. They put thousands of jackscrews under entire brick buildings and slowly cranked them up out of the mud, sometimes 6 feet or more. In 1860 they lifted half a city block, 320 feet of solid masonry weighing 35,000 tons, up almost 5 feet in five days, and the stores stayed open the whole time. People shopped inside while the building rose under their feet. They even jacked up a six story hotel with the guests still sleeping in it.

Boston did the opposite. The city was originally a bumpy peninsula with three big hills, which is why the main road is still called Tremont, from Trimountain. They sheared the tops off those hills, dropping the summit of Beacon Hill by around 60 feet, and used the dirt to fill in the harbor and the marshes. A huge chunk of downtown Boston is standing on ground that used to be the hills, and other parts are standing on what used to be open water.

Kansas City was so hilly and muddy they nicknamed it Gully Town, so they cut down bluffs 100 feet tall and dumped them into the ravines to flatten the place out. Los Angeles sliced whole hills out of its downtown to make room for the city core.

We walk around these cities assuming the ground was always shaped like this. It wasn't. Enormous parts of urban America were carved down, blasted apart, jacked up, and washed into the sea by men with hoses, shovels, and hand cranks, and most of it happened barely a hundred years ago.

The land you are standing on is not the land that was there.

Good to know I stand with Clement on seeing Odysseus point past paganism to Christ. Imagine what we’re seeing,

the right: “Nolan needs more paganism is there,”

the left: “Nolan gave us a Christian Odysseus.”

[jesse jacob 💼 @LightlyBurdened]

@dr_owenanderson Spot on!

[Dr Owen Anderson @dr_owenanderson]

Nolan’s message to the conservatives who loved Batman: you currently live in a dark age of the mind. You can’t get out by reenchanting the world with paganism. You must find redemption. (That much we can say for sure without saying he actually points to Christ).

His message for the liberals: your misapplication of the golden rule and your suicidal empathy fast-forwarded the world into this dark age.

@MrLeadslinger This makes me wanna tear my hair out. Using a pejorative has never been protected speech under the First Amendment, but it's also NOT A FREAKING CRIME. What a stupid world we live in.

The Washington State Supreme Court that you elect in 2026 will rule on the constitutionality of the income tax being pushed down our throats by the Democrat elected majority. If you don’t want an income tax, if you believe in the rule of law, these candidates have been vetted.

The Supreme Court candidates are listed on the ballot under the title Justice. For further Judicial recommendations on the ballot, go to:

You can add Sean O’Donnell to the list of candidates committed to the Rule of Law.

“This isn’t about the millionaire tax. This is about an insatiable appetite of spending beyond your means. I’ve been a lifelong Democrat. I’m telling the Democratic Party: ‘It is time to wake up.’ We can be a blue state that has a fiscal plan.
Today, we’re a blue state without a fiscal plan.”

Now Tod Leiweke, CEO of the Kraken NHL team speaks out against Olympia Democrat's spending addiction.

It also comes on the heels of Moodys issuing an official warning letter to Washington state Governor Bob Ferguson that our state has "an unsustainable budget structure, overspending, a reliance on reserve funds to balance the books, and uncertainty surrounding future tax revenues."

It's a spending problem, not a revenue one.

@RettCopple My buddy put this song on our annual 4th of July WBS mix (burned by hand on a CD the old fashioned way) and I thought hot dang, this is a banger.

Had no idea it was doing numbers in the real world, you love to see it.
