For years, I raised alarms about dangerous gain-of-function research being farmed out to foreign countries, and I was told it was a conspiracy theory. Now, declassified documents show that the U.S. funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries. Some of this research was conducted overseas precisely because scientists knew it would face scrutiny on American soil.
I'm calling for a presidential commission of scientists to review all gain-of-function research going forward. We're going lab by lab and pathogen by pathogen until the American people know the full truth.

The redemption that's possible through God is one of the most amazing things in this life.
He has a plan for each and every one of us, and I've been lucky enough to see the most important people in my life benefit from his grace.
The true message of Christmas is not the presents we give to one another. The true meaning is the gift that God gave to us, His Son Jesus Christ.
One of the most remarkable aspects of God’s perfect gift to us is that it came in simple wrapping. Some people will go to great lengths to wrap presents beautifully. But God’s gift came to us not in beautiful, ornate wrapping, but in a dirty manger found in a cold cave in a little-known town called Bethlehem. That’s the beauty of the Christmas event. Jesus took His place in a manger so that we might have a home in Heaven. The Savior was not wrapped in satin sheets, but in common rags. There in a manger rested the greatest gift in the plainest of wrapping....

Merry Christmas everyone. But more than that I hope you have a Blessed Christmas. And if you want to know what that means there’s probably not a better source than Linus. He explained it to Charlie Brown almost 60 years ago in a Christmas Special that has become an American favorite.
In 1965 it was extremely daring to have Linus recite from the Bible on prime time television. It probably wouldn’t even happen today and the network executives did not want it as part of the show then. But Charles Schultz, the creator of Peanuts, was a strong Christian man and he wouldn’t back down.
Schultz’s conviction resulted not only in Charlie Brown learning the true meaning of Christmas but in Luke Chapter 2 being heard by millions of people every year at Christmas time.

Christianity is under attack.
Shoutout to Los Angeles Dodgers Pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who wrote Genesis 9:12-16 on his Pride hat to remind everyone that the rainbow is a sign of God’s covenant 👏
There are times we only see what we lack, what we wish we had, or how much better our lives would be if we just had that one more thing. But everything we need for living a fulfilling life, we've already got in Jesus!
Jesus was “a man of sorrows” (Is.53)But the sorrow Jesus experienced in Gethsemane on the night before His crucifixion seemed to be a culmination of all the sorrow He had ever known. I don’t think we can even begin to fathom what He was going through. And He did it all for us.
“So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.” John 7:30
God’s appointments are inviolable.
You are immortal til it comes.
If you are alive, he has purposes for you.
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. – Matthew 28:19-20 #Bible
Sometimes we can feel alone, insecure, and not sure that we really belong. But God has proven that you have a place in His Kingdom. "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession" (1 Peter 2:9).
