I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.
I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.
Impeach and remove Trump—now.
@globalhike Total agreement with this part,
“Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance,..grace without discipleship, the cross, without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” D. Bonhoeffer
@gunsnrosesgirl3 Awesome!
As Grok says “ a solid metaphor. The video shows balls using downward momentum to propel upward, demonstrating how "downs" build energy for "ups"—much like how life's challenges foster resilience and progress. Physics checks out via conservation of energy and momentum.
If you reach your goals by compromising your values, you haven’t succeeded.
If you fall short of your goals by upholding your values, you haven’t failed.
The true measure of accomplishment is standing by your principles when they’re tested.
On the fourth anniversary of January 6th, we pause to honor the remarkable courage and sacrifice of the United States Capitol Police and all who defended our Capitol that day. Their courage in the face of danger upheld the ideals of our nation and reminded us of the profound cost of defending freedom.
We owe these brave men and women, as well as all our nation’s law enforcement officers, a debt of gratitude we can never fully repay, but we can honor their service and sacrifice by reaffirming our commitment to upholding and protecting the democracy they so valiantly defended.
@MusingsOnChrist Seems an over simplification of the implication of the verse. Jesus lived as a baby at his mother’s, breast, an adolescent learning in the temple, a teacher, a savior dying on the cross.
After flooding damaged multiple reservoirs in western North Carolina, a local SBC church and @NC_Missions partnered with experts at @YadkinWell to dig a well for their community.
“I didn’t learn about digging wells in seminary,” quipped Pastor Chris Fox.

Before you decide not to vote or write in someone who’s not even a declared candidate, at least take the time to consider the platform of Peter Sonski/Lauren Onak and the American Solidarity Party. https://t.co/QoyfmPvslc
@MusingsOnChrist Since wildly divergent positions and aggressive attitudes/actions are justified by Ev leaders who would answer affirmatively to both questions, could you please give further guidance taking into account other dimensions of Jesus’ teachings such Lk 6:46; Js 2:19; Hb 6:7,8
@rockytraccoon@LauraRbnsn I am thankful for those who try to protect the unborn. I am embarrassed if it is only a political calculation which doesn’t reflect the value of each human life no matter their condition or background.
@LauraRbnsn I hope you only meant that those espousing (preaching) anti abortion didn’t mean it, “it was just a thing for them”.
There were manipulators but there were also dead babies, millions of them. HHS, pro life and PP can give you the numbers.
