@rustyrockets you were randomly on my heart today. I don’t think it was random. I think it was Holy Spirit. Praying for you brought me to tears. And now I’m compelled to tell you. 🤷♀️ He is so mysterious to me sometimes
Every predominantly white country on Earth had abolished slavery by the early to mid 1800s. Most Arabic and African countries would continue to practice slavery for another 100 years -- sometimes much longer. Slavery wasn't fully abolished in Africa until the 1980s. It wasn't fully criminalized across the continent until 2007.
Ok... so for anyone watching me on @CNN tonight battling it out on Abby Phillip's show... this is one of the Smithsonian exhibits I was referencing. Trump is not trying to "erase slavery" by suggesting some of the instillations there are inaccurate and bias. Notice how it omits the central fact that Cubans fled Castro’s communist regime, instead framing the crisis solely as the result of U.S. support for dictators—a misleading oversimplification.
While the U.S. did back Batista—an unpopular and corrupt leader—mass emigration began after Castro seized power in 1959. Cuba became a one-party communist state allied with the Soviet Union; political opponents, journalists, and business owners were jailed, executed, or driven into exile; private property was nationalized; dissent was criminalized.
Like the rest of the exhibit, this framing reduces a complex history to a narrative in which the United States alone destabilized the developing world. I oppose interventionist U.S. foreign policy, but this is not an honest or complete portrayal of what happened in Cuba. Period.
@SenPolehanki@RepMattHall Thank you for holding the line for our freedom to homeschool. And yes, I do believe being counted infringes on that freedom. I encourage you to take it farther and enshrine that freedom in our constitution like Oklahoma.
For instance reports that Israel is shooting people when they come to get food. Then it turns out that it was actually Hamas shooting Palestinians as they came to get food. You are passionately against Israel, but I have not seen reliable evidence against them
@RealCandaceO in episode 223 you mention that they lied about the Catholic Church in Canada to get people to turn against them. Don’t you think this could be happening to Israel? Everything bad I have heard about them has come from sources that are clearly against them
@realDonaldTrump telling us there’s nothing to see and to get over the #EpsteinList is like telling us to eat cake. The American public want heads rolling. Either get on our side or get out of the way. We will not get over it or forget. #EpsteinCoverUp#SaveTheChidren
Telling children that puberty is harmful to them is grossly unethical. Most gender dysphoria resolves after puberty and there’s mounting evidence that blockers cause irreparable harm. It will never cease to shock me how many people pushed for the chemical castration of children.
Rep. @WesleyHuntTX just delivered the most powerful rebuttal to Whoopi Goldberg’s crazy race claim—and Bill Maher’s liberal audience erupted in applause.
“I don’t even ever want to hear Whoopi Goldberg’s conversation about how it’s worse to be black in America [than to live in Iran].”
“My district in the great state of Texas is actually a white-majority district that President Trump would have won by 25 points… I am literally being judged not by the color of my skin, but by the content of my character. That’s the progress, because a lot of white people had to vote for me—a lot.”
“And my father, who’s 75 years old, was a man in the French Quarter who had to go get a sandwich from the back door of the building.”
“And his son is now a United States congressman in a white-majority district in Texas—as a Republican. That is America. That’s America. So let’s celebrate that.”
You won’t hear a more honest take on race and progress in America. This was a powerful reminder of how far this country has come.
The dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division. America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree.
My full testimony below:
@rustyrockets Russel, my brother in Christ, today at 10am est I was strongly compelled to let you know that I pray for you and your family often. Continue sharing the Gospel. Come. What. May. It is a blessing to see the miracle that our Lord, Savior, and Friend has done in you.
