Birthright citizenship is especially noxious to the populist right. They scorn it as relying on magic dirt — the idea that there is something inherent in American soil that makes a person an American citizen.
Yet the same populists seem to believe in something like magic blood — that one’s lineage can make one superior.
America doesn’t have magic dirt, and it certainly doesn’t have magic blood. But it does have a magic idea — the creed that declares “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” https://t.co/lDocJeovCh
ANOTHER successful training run for Lindsey Vonn. She finishes with a time of 1:38.28, more than two seconds faster than her Friday time. 👀
The women's downhill final begins 5:30am ET this Sunday on USA & Peacock. #WinterOlympics
Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?
And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.
Mr. President,
please do better. Your post is a mockery of the sacred faith of billions of people who follow Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus ushers in New creation, love, forgiveness, grace, mercy, and peace.
Respectfully,
Rev. Dr. Derwin L. Gray
This post is in honor of @TheMasters Sunday. I got to go with my brothers and nephew on Wednesday. If you ever have a chance to go, do it, even if you don’t love golf. Such an incredible atmosphere.
My colleagues and I are ready to get started at the Fifteenth Court of Appeals. Thankful to @GregAbbott_TX for swearing us in today. @farris_april #appellatetwitter
Conservative evangelicals back then: if a president can’t lead his family, how can he lead a nation?
Evangelicals now: yeah maybe he brags about assaulting women and cheated on his third wife but he’s going lead us into a golden era of Christian values.
“So I said to them, ‘Let any who have gold take it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf- which can be yours for the low, low price of five easy installments of $19.99”
Dear Ambitious Pastor,
Please stop trying to build a brand around yourself. You’re not that important. What you have to say isn’t as unique and compelling as you think. You’re not a guru. You’re a servant and steward. You don’t have enough time to build your personal brand and shepherd the people God has entrusted to your care. If you want to do that, great. Just please step away from ministry. We don’t need another pastor trying to profit off his people by selling his personal insights at a premium.
Preach the gospel. Be faithful in season and out of season. Serve the Saints. Honor your Savior. Die in obscurity.
If this has to be said to you, you’re probably not the best person to be giving advice to the people of God.
Holy cow. Seth Meyers spent 90 seconds on his show last night reminding his viewers everything that Donald Trump has said I done & it is absolutely perfect. This is how it’s done & we need so much more of it. Watch & share this.
Amazing the pit I get in my stomach when I see my name on the ballot, even when unopposed. Good luck to everyone with the courage to put your name out there. And to the rest of you, please be kind to everyone on the ballot, even if they’re not your chosen candidate.
