I hear statements like this all the time:

"Why when Jesus talks about feeding the poor, it’s christianity. But when a politician talks about feeding the poor, it’s socialism?"

This is one of those ideas that sounds profound until you examine it for longer than the lifespan of a fruit fly.

Take the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25–37). A traveler gets robbed and left for dead. A Samaritan comes along and:

Bandages the mans wounds.
Puts him on his own animal.
Takes him to an inn.
Pays his own money for the man's care.

Then Jesus says, "Go and do likewise."

At no point does the Samaritan stop and say, "Hold on while I petition the Roman provincial government to establish the Department of Fallen Travelers."

Notice the subject of that sentence. It isnt Caesar. It isn't the Sanhedrin. It isn't the Ministry of Compassionate Transportation. It's YOU.

This theme shows up repeatedly. Jesus tells individuals to be generous, to care for the poor, to lend expecting nothing in return, to give secretly, to serve one another, to sell possessions and give to those in need. (Luke 12:33, Luke 3:10–14, Luke 6:35–36, Matthew 5:16, Matthew 6:1–4, John 13:12–17.)

If you actually study the Bible, and not use it as a pithy collection of sayings, you learn that Jesus made it very clear that public service to those in need is part of your worship of God and him. It's necessary in order to be a christian. Outsourcing it to government is not good enough.

Christian charity is fundamentally a moral obligation placed on the believer. I can't outsource the giving and service required of me to the Government any more than I could outsource prayer or belief.

If a politician wants to talk about feeding the poor, he's a good Christian if he's doing it himself, with his own money. That's it. (He should also be doing it quietly as Matthew 6:1 says, but that's a different rant.)

If your definition of socialism is simply "helping poor people" then congratulations: your childish understanding of politics almost eclipses your childish understanding of Christianity.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.

You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.

Bro.

You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.

You live in a constitutional republic.

Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.

The modern left's definition of fascism:

You love your country? Fascist.

You want to enforce the border? Racist.

You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.

You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.

Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.

But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.

But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.

Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.

Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.

Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.

Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.

Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.

Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.

Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.

Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.

But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.

You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.

The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.

No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.

Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.

During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.

But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.

The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.

Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.

That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.

Biden built a censorship machine.

Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."

They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...

Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.

And it doesn't stop at speech.

The extreme left justifies taking children from families.

Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.

The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.

Same playbook.

During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.

But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.

$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.

January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.

Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.

Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.

CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.

75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.

Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."

Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.

One side talks. The other side screams.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.

Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.

The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.

500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.

The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.

You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.

"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.

Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.

Today his own party would call him a fascist.

The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.

The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.

The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.

Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:

Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.

Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.

Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.

State ideology forced on families. Democrats.

Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.

Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.

Cult of personality. Both sides.

Ultranationalism. Republicans.

Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.

You marched against kings on Saturday.

You marched FOR kings.

You just didn't know which was which.

Stop being gaslit.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

I might just spend the next year laughing so hard that I'm in danger of rupturing my abdomen.

Yes. The evidence that Donald Trump was a Federal informant in the Epstein case has been trickling out for a couple of years now. I am too libertarian to be MAGA and by no means Donald Trump's biggest fan, but I noticed this.

What are the Trump-hating media and the Left (but I repeat myself) going to do now that these court documents are going public? They've backed themselves into a corner by incessantly screaming "Trump is a pedo!" despite the fact that he never went to Little St James and cut times with Epstein after Epstein hit on a 14-year-old Mar-A-Lago employee.

Absolutely brilliant move by Trump not to exculpate himself by saying in public "I helped the law take Epstein down". Now his enemies are in so deep that all of their choices are horribly self-destructive.

Look for a whole lot of journalists to have heart attacks and aneurysms as they grapple with the concept of publishing anything about this. They've organized their world-view and their public appeal around "Bad Orange Man is baaaad!" for so long that acknowledging he was one of the heroes of the Epstein story rather than a villain would break their brains and be reputational suicide.

But the alternative - letting the truth leak out via social media while trying to smother it with non-coverage - would be in some ways even worse. The credibility of the journalistic establishment is already in the toilet. Contemplating how much worse it's going to get if they try to stonewall this is the part that makes me laugh so hard it hurts.

What will happen if they actually backpedal might be even funnier to watch. Utter chaos, lefty/liberal brains melting by the millions, cats and dogs raining from the sky...indeed shall many things come to pass.

Yesterday I testified in front of Congress and only TWO Democrat congressmen showed up to the hearing

Not ONE question was directed towards me from the democrats about the fraud. Weird… I wonder why lol

If Congressmen don’t show up to their hearings they aren’t representing their constituents, wtf are we paying them for?

I think it's worth reiterating that 50% of men are stronger than 99% of women. This means that 99% of women could be overpowered by the average man.

I’ve sat through over 50 hours of Charlie Kirk’s videos as an ethnically Black American.

Not one racist word.

Not 1.

What Democrats do is cut snippets, strip context, and shove sound bites at the same gullible slob audience too lazy to fact-check.

That isn’t exposing racism .. it’s manufacturing lies to spark division.
