Unpopular opinion:
His fall off this year is exactly why what he did last year deserved MVP.
Catching is extremely hard on the body. Putting together a season like Raleigh did in 2025 as a primary catcher is an insane degree of difficulty.
We’ll probably never see it again.
Biden's DOJ was planning to indict everyone who was in the grass around the Capital on January 6th. They had over 10,000 indictments ready to launch. It's really disconcerting to me to see people either forget this, or ignore it entirely.
Yes, the gold is there all (approximately) 147 million ounces. It is impressive, but the real point is what it still teaches in 2026.
In 1971 we severed the dollar from gold. Since then the currency has lost roughly 85% of its value. Prices are higher because the money itself is weaker.
A family making $50,000 with two kids that has not received a 25% raise in the last five years is falling behind.
This is now often called “affordability,” but the the accurate word is inflation.
We run annual deficits of two trillion dollars. The Federal Reserve buys about a third of that debt by creating new money. Every new dollar dilutes the value of the dollars already in people’s pockets. Gold does not expand when Congress spends. Paper does.
That is the difference.
When you have five minutes and you are responding to a navy seal without a church background telling you, he doesn’t understand why Jesus had to die on the cross, you do not get the luxury of explaining all of the atonement motifs
Keller and the reformed tradition are correct: the Bible articulates, many atonement angles, but they are all built on top of penal substitution, so you go there
Ewan McGregor says that he feels there is still a lot of Obi Wan's story to tell.
“Everything between the end of the TV series and Alex Guinness. There’s 10 years of something happening to Obi Wan.”

There are 42 states that hold Bartenders and Waiters accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges and Parole Boards accountable if the criminals they release kill someone.
Insane.
Aaron Rodgers just declared victory against Fauci and his “trillion-dollar propaganda campaign.”
“I told you I’d be on the right side of history.”
“And look at us now.”
“Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal.”
“That absolute coward.”
“What are you scared of?”
“I thought you were The Science.”
“And you can’t answer a question.”
“And how much time did the network spend on that?”
“How much time did they spend on my vaccination status every week?”
“On Taylor and Travis’s wedding?”
“Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?”
“What are you gonna say about me now?”
“Obviously it was made in a lab in China.”
“That’s not even questionable anymore.”
“They suppressed early treatments.”
“They lied about where it came from.”

I was in Utah rappelling and the guide (great young Mormon man, native to Utah) was telling us how expensive Utah has gotten. Your plan allows wages to stay low and visa holders get welfare and locals get priced out.
I know they want to make this trend about Trump, but as somone who has worked in digital media for 15+ years, I believe it goes much deeper than that.
Nearly every political influencer you talk to is seeing a noticable decline. My theory: the country is entirely BURNT OUT on politics, division, fear etc (me included).
At the same time, guess what is EXPLODING online? The Gospel. People are actively seeking out truth and hope — and the ultimate source of both are Jesus Christ and the Bible.
So while political content struggles to find its ground, @thelivefreepod is arguably the FASTEST growing Christian podcast (in the world?).
The podcast has seen growth so explosive over the past year, YouTube can't even give me the growth percentage in the analytics... it just says >999%.
Why am I telling you this? To brag on my favorite podcast? Absolutely not. It's to point my media friends in the right direction. For as long as I've been doing this, hyperpolitical, fear-based content has driven results and dominated feeds.
Until now. The old playbook simply isn't working. And I honestly think that's a good thing.
My thesis is that we are experiencing a violent pendulum swing the other way — the human spirit is screaming for truth, hope, joy, and love. They are sharing and consuming more content that brings peace, not anxiety. It makes sense why people's hearts are being drawn to the Prince of Peace.
I am no futurist, but I would not be surprised if digital media plays a HUGE role in the next revival we see in this country and around the world. I've had debates over whether the disciples would have used social media to share the Gospel... I don't even hesitate to answer yes. Whatever. It. Takes.
And God has written a decoder of truth into our hearts so that when we hear the truth, we know it. Jesus Christ is the truth, the way, and the life.
The point I am absolutely NOT making is that you should talk about Jesus for views, though unfortunately it seems some are already doing just that and seeing the trend.
But I am saying if you are a Christian and you have a platform, you should talk about Jesus because He is Lord and He deserves the glory of the platform He's given you.
It just so happens that there seems to be more people who want to hear the truth than I've ever seen in my lifetime.
You can also talk about heroes, tell stories of glory, cover the stories that highlight the truth behind everything... just stop telling us the world is ending if politician X or Y doesn't get elected. People need HOPE.
I just feel like so many of us are DONE putting our faith in politicians and talking heads who will let you down 100% of the time. We're all-in on Jesus.
Worry less about your glory and more about His... your life usually goes much better when you do that.
This is a penalty reserved for white parents specifically. No inner city black mom or deadbeat black father will ever be arrested, much less sentenced to 15 years in prison, for the savage crimes committed every single day by their kids.
They’ll never do this to the fathers of thugs and gangbangers shooting people every weekend. One, because they wouldn’t be able to find any of them, and two, because we know exactly why. Completely insane.
I legitimately believe there isn't a pair of female police officers in the entire country who, without weapons, could handcuff me if I didn't want them to.
One of the most heartbreaking things I ever witnessed was a nursing home staff tilting up an elderly woman’s bed at the window so her family on the sidewalk could wave to her before she died. But yeah, real bummer Fauci didn’t have to answer questions.
🚨 WOW! President Trump just posted this stunning chart proving Amy Coney Barrett started ruling LIBERAL after leftists began surging violent threats against them
Pre-Dobbs: 81% conservative
Post-Dobbs: 59% 🤯
2023: 57%
2024: 50%!
“Amy Coney Barrett is clearly terrified of the left” — @Timcast
She’s getting MORE LIBERAL.
God bless Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh holding STRONG 🇺🇸
Loved ones died alone in hospitals. Funerals were banned. High school coming of age moments like football and prom were stolen. Careers ruined over the vaccine. Small businesses destroyed. Military members discharged. Fauci and Big Tech and your Democrat neighbors did this.
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
If you are a Christian your confidence today rests on foundations that cannot be shaken. If God is for you, and He has not spared His own Son but delivered Him up for all of you, then He will graciously give you all things with Him. (Rom 8:28–39) And please don’t hear this as a platitudinal X post: it flows from the reality of your election. God chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless, predestining you for adoption as His children according to His pleasure and will.
The Puritan theologians are helpful here, and understood something vital about this assurance: election and covenant work together, offering troubled believers a double source of assurance; you can plead the covenant with God, asking Him to fulfill His promises, while simultaneously finding comfort in the sufficiency of His prevenient grace and the immutability of His will in election. Your election is not fragile or conditional on your performance, as I’ve said before, your salvation is received not achieved. God’s immutable decree of election proceeds from His perfect counsel, the basis for maintaining His people in sanctification and imparting to them an inward principle of holiness.
Yet this absolute promise does not leave you passive. God’s love, made known to you, draws you out of yourself toward Him in orderly, faithful obedience. The conditional promises of the covenant are inseparable from your daily renewal of it through prayer, meditation, and worship. Your obedience becomes the very means by which you experience and confirm what God has already secured.
Anchor yourself in the permanence of God’s word. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His words will not pass away. (Matt 24:35) All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness. (2 Tim 3:16–17) In this word, your election is declared, your redemption is promised, and your perseverance is guaranteed — not by your strength, but by His.
