If you want to step back in time to recall what it was like when people doubting the Gospel of Fauci were being exterminated from the Internet, this supercut is for you:

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Before Fauci pled the Fifth 100+ times, I covered @RandPaul's claim that Fauci sent American money to Wuhan, China, to fund research that might have created the COVID pandemic.

At the time, Paul was called a conspiracy theorist.

Here's how that went down:

False teaching about Jesus is no less damnable just because it comes through a TV show. Satan loves that so many of you don't value Christ enough to condemn it.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

It is inarguable that the war in Iran is a massive drag on Trump’s numbers, as well as those of the Republican party heading into November. This is largely driven by consistently high gas prices, which also drive up the price of everything else.

Trump obviously knows this, which is why he’s been searching for an off ramp for months. He knows he was elected to get gas prices down and the economy in shape (which he did until the war jammed up the gears).

But a major problem for Trump’s presidency right now is that nearly everyone outside his inner pushing for this war—and this includes the entirety of so-called conservative pundits who never found a war they weren’t willing to make others fight and pay for—also hates Trump (and especially Vance) and sees the war’s negative effect on his popularity as a secondary benefit of the war they’ve been salivating over for decades. To them, his declining numbers are a feature, not a bug.

With the Iran war, the NeverTrump neocons have gotten everything they ever dreamed of—war (which they love), and a massive political quagmire for Trump which threatens to consume the rest of his presidency and destroy any future political chances of J.D. Vance and the entire MAGA/America First movement.

These people, and this includes most GOP senators, believe that Trump/MAGA is just a fever that will eventually break, and all they have to do is wait it out and then take over what’s left of the party after that. They don’t care if Republicans lose in the mid-terms in November. In fact, they’d welcome it. They would much rather rule over the wreckage than continue having to take a back seat to Trump or his successor.

This is why they refuse to pass the SAVE America Act. It’s why they’ve been blocking recess appointments and slow-walking the entire nominations process since the very first day of this presidency.

Washington Republicans very much prefer the minority, where they get all the perks of power but none of the obligations or accountability. They can go on their taxpayer-funded junkets and slip provisions into Democrat-written bills for their benefit of their K Street lobbyist donors without having to actually pass anything their voters demand. When you’re in the minority, you don’t have to spend all your time lying to your own voters about why you can’t do anything despite controlling the Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court.

If November goes poorly, they’ll then leave Trump to fend for himself as a new Democrat Congress launches its latest series of hoaxes and investigations and impeachment circuses designed to make sure Trumpism as a movement in 2028 has no gas left in the tank. It will be the Russia hoax and the Ukraine impeachment hoax and the J6 hoax all over again.

The neocon war pimps and the RINO establishment would much rather Republicans lose in 2026 and 2028, allowing the establishment to rebuild the party in its own image heading into 2032, than watch the Trump/MAGA agenda succeed and lead to a third or maybe even a fourth term following victory in the presidential election in 2028.

This is the reality of the current political situation. The Iran war is a mess, it’s being pimped by people who are than happy to watch it destroy Trump’s presidency, and they are being completely dishonest about their own motivations as well as the political impact of the war going forward.

Not an immigration hawk perse but you cannot expect citizens of *any* Western nation to see video of--I'll be charitable--"non-licensed" migrants literally overunning borders of so-called Western nations and not have some acute radicalization on immigration policy.

[Scott Roberts @ScottRoberts]

On the fence about the series The Chosen? The Season 5 finale shows an agonizing Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Of course, this is one of the most sacred and emotionally weighty moments in all of Scripture. During this ordeal, the writers invent Jesus wandering through Ezekiel's valley of dry bones.

And then, in an absolute insult to Scripture, they portray Jesus as seeing the ghost of his earthly (step)father Joseph coming and comforting Him, with uplifting, heartwarming music accompanying it (see the screenshot below of Joseph on the left).

The Bible says no such thing. This is exactly why adding fictional scenes to the life of Christ is so dangerous. God's Word is already perfect and sufficient.

[Natalie Winters @nataliegwinters]

Fauci in 2022: “I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee.

I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.

I’m going to do what I need to do, and that is cooperate fully, because we have nothing to hide at all.”

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?

Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.

The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.

Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.

They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.

One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."

Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.

That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.

He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

AMERICA 250

I think it's cool to be an American.

I think it's cool to love your country.

I think it's cool…

…that this country took a kid from England with nothing but a dream and gave him every shot to build a life he never could have imagined back home

…that I get to serve the men and women who wear the cloth of our nation through the Robert Irvine Foundation

...that in the picture above, a guy who came up in the British Royal Navy is becoming an Honorary Chief Petty Officer of the US Navy

…that after 250 years, the American idea is still the boldest bet on human freedom the world has ever seen

…that no matter where you start or what your name is, America still bets on the person willing to outwork everybody else

…that the right to fail, learn, and come back swinging is the greatest gifts this country offers

…that my daughters got to grow up in a place where their only limits are the ones they set for themselves

I think it's cool to love your country.

I think it's cool to be an American.

God bless this great nation of ours.

Happy Fourth to all who celebrate.

To everyone else, grab a plate and pull up a chair. There's so much more I'd love to tell you about this place, which turned out to be everything I dreamed of and so much more. This country belongs to all who are willing to show up and do the work of building it.

That's worth celebrating.
