Oh, so when J.D. Vance was grandstanding in a grocery store about $4 eggs under Kamala Harris, it was a national crisis—but now that eggs are hitting $15 under Trump and Vance, suddenly it’s crickets?
Where’s the viral outrage video now, J.D.? Where’s the finger-pointing, the moral panic, the grand speech on America’s decline? Funny how the talking points disappear when you’re the one in power.
The truth? Egg prices aren’t about political theater, they’re about policy failures—supply chain issues, corporate price-gouging, and an unchecked avian flu outbreak that’s been wrecking production for years. But sure, let’s pretend this is just another “win” for America under Trump 2.0.
Pay attention to the hypocrisy. Because if $4 eggs were a crisis, what the hell do you call $15 eggs?
Actually no. This misses the point of Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10: 25-37). After Jesus tells a lawyer that you should "love your neighbor as yourself," the lawyer asks him, "And who is my neighbor?"
In response, Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man who has been beaten by robbers and is lying by the side of the road. The man is helped not by those closest to him (a "priest" and a "Levite"), but rather by a Samaritan. At the time, Jews and Samaritans would have considered one another enemies.
So Jesus's fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It's specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our "neighbors."
But Jesus's deeper point can only be understood from the point of view of the beaten man: our ultimate salvation depends, as it did for that man, upon those whom we often consider to be the "stranger."

@netflix Hey didn’t you like raise my prices?? But you didn’t invest in expanding your capacity for streaming.. horrible way to debut your live services. And ignoring the issue. Boo 0/5 stars.
If women can't travel to receive care, or for any other reason they choose to, then we are truly relegated to second class citizenship. This is what the future will look like for yourself, your daughters, your loved ones, if Trump and Vance win.
State Superintendent Ryan Walters helped write and once praised the same Social Studies standards that he now calls 'disgusting.' So what's changed? And why are we allowing out of state influencers to craft Oklahoma kids' educations? More on @okcfox at 5:30pm. #oklaed
