Accusations of racism have been weaponized to stop criticism and common sense.
No more.

I used to be bothered about being called a racist. Now I do not give a flying shit. Anyone else feel the same?

When I was Muslim, I knew the story in Surah 2.
King Saul leads his army out, God tests them at a river — don’t drink, or you’re not with me — and only a few pass. Then they fight, and David kills Goliath. Surah 2:249-251.
Clean story. Until you open the Bible and find that the river test isn’t Saul’s at all.
It’s Gideon’s. Judges 7.
God tells Gideon his army is too big. So he tests them at the water. The men who lap like a dog go one way, the men who kneel go another. God whittles 32,000 men down to 300, so Israel can’t brag that they won by their own strength.
That’s the test. And it belongs to GIDEON. A judge. About 150 years BEFORE Saul was ever king.
You know what shook me?
The Quran took Gideon’s water test, pinned it on Saul, and then stitched the David and Goliath battle onto the end of it.
Two separate stories, from two different centuries, fused into one.
It’s the exact same thing the Quran does with Moses and Jacob. Take a detail from one hero, glue it onto another, compress the timeline.
I used to say the Bible mixed things up.
But the Bible keeps Gideon and Saul as two distinct men, 150 years apart, with two distinct stories.
It’s the later book that merged them.
And here’s what I couldn’t ignore.
Gideon’s 300 won so that no one could boast. The whole point was: the victory is God’s, not yours.
That’s the Gospel in advance. You don’t win by your strength. You win by His.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord.” Zechariah 4:6.
The Bible kept the story straight because the story was going somewhere.
It was going to a cross, where God won the victory alone, so no one could ever boast they saved themselves.

@SenateGOP Shhhhhhhh… You’re talking about something other than the Save America Act again. NOTHING ELSE SHOULD BE COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW @SenateGOP !!!!
English
Congress’s core duty is to fund the government.
But Senate Democrats are again preparing to abandon that duty and shut down the government.
They want to create as much chaos as possible because they think it helps them politically.
English
@LeaderJohnThune @TaxCuts You are stalling and trying to distract people again. We see it.
By this point, you KNOW the American people hate you for opposing the Save America Act. You KNOW you will never win an election again.
You are now showing us who you really are.
English
The Working Families @TaxCuts is a big step toward a more secure America.
It invests in safer streets with funding for state and local law enforcement.
Safer skies by supporting air traffic control modernization. A secure border and a strong military.
English
At tomorrow’s meeting between President Trump and Senate Republicans, do you want your senators to advocate (1) FOR, or (2) AGAINST trying to pass the SAVE America Act?
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio
“I hope that people, on that issue, speak up,” Thune told us re: the filibuster/SAVE Act. “Because I’m not saying anything that isn’t a view that wouldn’t be shared or articulated by a lot of my colleagues… It’s always helpful if others would speak up, and it’s not just me.”

The Director of National Intelligence has just reported that Anthony Fauci funded a bioweapons lab in China in the creation of the COVID pandemic that killed millions.
ABC has crack reporter Jonathan Karl headlining an algae story.
ABC News@ABC
ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool where workers continue to battle algae – and the new paint job appears to be falling apart. The Department of Interior did not immediately respond to a request for comment. abcnews.link/aBAOLif

@realMaalouf The response is logical and defending yourself is understandable, but as Christians going on the offense, the goal should not be to kill, it should be to convert.

@GigaBeers @LeaderJohnThune Nah, it’s critical that we vote out all the fake Republicans!
English
RINO Thune demands MAGA stop attacking Republicans.
NAH. America First must Drain the Swamp on BOTH sides!
RINOs must go. PASS THE SAVE ACT NOW! 🔥🇺🇸
WE WON’T STAY QUIET!
What say you, @LeaderJohnThune?
Sherri Unfiltered™@FFT1776
John Thune went on TV demanding MAGA stop attacking Republicans and go after Democrats instead. NAH. That’s not how this works. We Are: 📍ANTI-SWAMP 📍ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT 📍ANTI-CORRUPTION 📍ANTI-CROOKED POLITICIANS Doesn’t matter to us if there’s an (R) or (D) next to their name. When Republicans fall into any of those categories, they are a target🎯 … That includes you Leader Thune and your “F Liberty Score” America First means DRAINING THE SWAMP on BOTH sides of the aisle. Period.🔥🇺🇸 🚨Maybe you all should start delivering wins for Conservatives? … put that majority we voted-in to good use!
English
@SenRickScott Citizens want it, politicians do not.
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!!
English
The one thing that the Republicans, Democrats, and Independents have in common is we ALL want the SAVE America Act passed.
Let’s GET THIS DONE and SECURE OUR ELECTIONS.

@catturd2 @RealJamesWoods This is what I think will happen to our bank accounts if we go to a completely cashless system.
English
So in the last three months,
According to my analytics, I’ve netted well over 100,000 new followers for a grand total of - 9,000.
@RealJamesWoods is right - there’s something fishy going on that won’t allow us conservatives to grow.
Every single conservative I know, no matter how many followers they gain monthly, on their analytics, their follower count remains the same.
It never ends for us.

@SenatorTimScott Haven’t read the bill yet but this sounds weird. How exactly does “the government” make houses more affordable??
Will they crash the housing market so houses are cheaper? Or will they print lots of money for us to buy house with?
English
The average first-time homebuyer in America is 40 years old.
That has to change.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will help lower costs, support first-time homebuyers, and make 2026 a year of affordability.
English
@EricLDaugh The fact that they “don’t have the votes” on such a widely supported bill PROVES they are not there to represent us!
Vote them all out!
English
🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Tom Cotton says they DON'T HAVE THE VOTES for the SAVE America Act
"Whatever the fate of the SAVE Act is, it's urgent that in the short-term, we reauthorize [FISA]."
"I support it...the reality is, we don't have 50 votes, much less 60."
IT DID GET 50 VOTES under the House-passed version of just citizenship and voter ID, actually.
LISTEN TO 47, SENATE GOP, you WON'T regret it because you'll win the midterms! 🇺🇸
English
@catturd2 AND we just won’t have the votes to send them back to DC!!!!!
English
@eli_savage @grok @drawandstrike @bourscheid @ErikVoorhees How exactly does one pay taxes on “unrealized” assets? If you have to sell some of your assets to pay the tax, then those assets are actually realized.
English
@grok @drawandstrike @bourscheid @ErikVoorhees @grok how much would his tax bill be this year if there was an additional tax of 3.5% on all his unrealized assets?
English
I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.

@SenWarren We need fewer politicians who salivate over taking other people’s money!

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.
We need a wealth tax.
