Integrity is Key

Ezra 10 might be the strangest passage in the Bible to me, simply because it presents a state of great sin, where the only way to appease God is mass divorce and abandonment of children. The only way to correctly follow the letter of the Law is to understand the spirit of the Law

@adelethelaptop "The only way to follow the letter of the law is to understand the spirit of the law" Profoundly accurate

🧵 THREAD: You've heard the phrase "OUR DEMOCRACY" a million times. But what exactly is "OUR DEMOCRACY"? 🤔 When they say "democracy," they don't mean a republic. They don't mean consent of the governed. They don't mean your right to choose your own leaders. They mean a system where "institutions" - NGOs, multilaterals, the permanent bureaucracy - advance a set of values they consider settled: equality, social justice, cosmopolitanism, global governance. These values aren't proposals to be voted on. They're treated as moral prerequisites that must be true *before* your vote counts. Despite what they say, they aren't for checks and balances. Checks and balances limit what government can do to you. This limits what you can do to *them*. The brakes are on accountability, not power. The institutions that set the boundaries of acceptable policy have put themselves beyond the reach of the electorate, and they call that arrangement "democracy." Trump has been an existential threat to this system since the moment he said "drain the swamp" ... because the swamp IS the system. When he threatened those institutions, he didn't threaten the republic. He threatened their immunity from it. And they said so. On camera. At their own events. In their own words. As always, patience as I pull together the thread.👇

@MAGAMicki @LeaderJohnThune Thune is completely captured. He is not going to back off If we want him gone it's going to take us voting him out

I have a single rule in life that I will never break. If I see kids selling lemonade, I stop and buy one. Usually I don’t even end up drinking it, because it is usually terrible. But entrepreneurship at a young age must be encouraged and rewarded.

At 65, I’m a man of contradictions. I’m conservative, but gay. I’m black, but I don’t obsess over slavery, racism, oppression, or reparations. I don’t fit into any of their boxes. I voted for Trump because he offered me more than any democrat has ever done. He offered to love my country and make it GREAT AGAIN. That's what I voted for. Because I’m just an American who wants to see his country remain the best in the world. And nothing Donald Trump has ever said made me afraid to vote for him. If he could run again, I’d vote for him again. Because let’s be honest: He’s a better president than any of the last 3 democrats we’ve had, or whoever they crap out in 2028. Is anybody with me on that?

@Nickisbackbaby Truth

How to be a celebrity: Write a popular song or make some big movies, become a multi-millionare. Buy a private jet, yacht, waterfront mansion and car collection. Then lecture the public on climate change and their carbon emissions! Done?

@educator4ever36 @mathillustrated Systemic racism? Didn't see it at the local school level, but i saw the lack of opportunity and raised millions to get my students enriched learning experiences w tons of purposeful field trips

@mathillustrated Absolutely. No one really is willing to address the systemic racism that still exists in our public schools. No one is willing to admit it.

Part and parcel of the history of educational racism

“I want to follow Jesus. But I don't get to do that because I'm transgender." That's what Haley believed until a co-worker's Christ-like example challenged everything she thought she knew about Christianity. After a simple prayer inviting Jesus into her life, she encountered the love of Christ for herself. "Just a touch of His love made me mourn all the years I had spent apart from that. And I knew in that moment that I could never spend one day of my life apart from that ever again." Jesus saved her, and she eventually realized she was the woman God had made her to be.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

It’s glorious seeing this degree of masculinity after all the soy boys and bearded men in dresses (and topless men jiggling their fake female boobs) that Biden and Kamala constantly featured.

@RobertKennedyJc Thanks!

Looking for MAHA-approved olive oil? This is the one I trust. Oliva Dorado is cold-pressed, organic, and single-origin from a small Spanish family farm. Rich in polyphenols. No seed oil blends. No gimmicks. Purity tested. Get your exclusive 15% off 👇🏼 olivadorado.com/MAHA

The olive oil industry has a dirty secret! A lot of "extra virgin" olive oil isn't extra virgin at all. Most are diluted, degraded, or so old they've lost the polyphenols & antioxidants that make olive oil once of nature's most powerful foods. Choose your olive oil wisely!

Funny how we’re supposed to be outraged by a man becoming a trillionaire, but not by politicians who become millionaires on government salaries. Wrong target. #250_Revolution

If you're black and were born in America you've never been a slave. If you're white and you were born in America you've never owned slaves. Time to stop playing victim. We are so tired of this shit.

@YoAdrienne1968 Me? When I turned 65. If I were my son, I wouldn't go out in public w me.

When did people stop caring about their appearance when out in public? Holy crap!

To every believer who claims to know God: how can you condemn others for their sins when your own sins were enough to condemn you? If not for God's mercy, where would you be? We all deserve hell. Instead, pray for the lost, love them, and point them to the Jesus we all need !

@EdMarkey Cut out the $100 billion in waste, fraud and abuse, all foreign aid, make it permanent. All budgets must be at or below 2021 levels and we'll consider it

A 5% tax on Elon’s net worth would fund every community health center in America for the next 26 years. I’ll say it again. Tax the rich.

@mistressdivy My courage. Lost it for 25 years

If you walked into a room full of everything you've ever lost, what would you look for first?

I am absolutely inspired by this every day...! It is my goal & I will achieve this. So, if, scratch that, WHEN I am able to do this...I will be truly unstoppable...!
