@bonchieredstate Totally agree. To me (for now) this stuff is obvious. I like the thematics of the AI photo though. Would like to think the event went something like that.....

We've got to start requiring mandatory AI training classes for politicians. It only gets worse from here.

@DLoesch Exactly. The value, dignity and decency of the individual soul is what made Western Civilization unique in human history. It is fast disappearing into a cesspool of collectivist, identity-based thinking. It is as sad as it is dangerous.

SecWar stacking bodies and I’m here for it.
Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius

So SecWar Pete Hegseth just fired Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., the US Army’s (now former) Chief of Chaplains. I have zero insider information on this, but I have my own theories as to why it happened. Green’s most important event as the Chief of Chaplains was to produce the United States Army’s “Spiritual Fitness Guide.” Published in July of 2025, Stars & Stripes wrote an article on this with a link to the guide. (I’ll put all related links in a comment email one below.) I’ll save you the trouble of clicking on that link — it goes to the US Army’s website, and it’s “404 Page Not Found.” That kind of explains a lot, doesn’t it? So I went and found a full copy of that “Guide” elsewhere (in, of all places, a “Military Atheist” website; link in the post below). Go check it out. Do a word search for the word “God.” Go ahead. Do it. It shows up exactly ONCE. How can you have a guide to spiritual fitness without mentioning God????? But what that “guide" DOES TALK about is a bunch on New Age gobbledygook. Let me give you a taste: "The Soldier’s Spirit lies at the intersection of external influences (stimulus) and applied behavior (response). It is the vital junction that supports the weight of life and drives Soldier action. In a relatable way, the Soldier’s spirit is much like a compass in life, providing substance to the direction that they take in life and the decisions they make. This reality makes understanding and developing the Soldier's spirit crucial, as the direction of a Soldier ultimately shapes the direction and well-being of the Army.” The primary mission of the Chaplain Corps is to “provide religious support” to soldiers (from their official mission statement). Yet the US Army’s “Spiritual Fitness Guide” reads like it was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on a bender—not a word of encouragement for a soldier’s faith, but pages upon pages of New Age nonsense that makes Universalism sound like rational thought and really does imagine no religion. Yeah, one does not need to understand why a man of faith like Pete Hegseth fired a wishy washy New Age Pharisee like Green.

@fulham_jim @CynicalPublius @SenatorSlotkin We do have a lot of good ones in the mix. Hopefully, they'll get the nod, but even they are replacable too. The media tries to tug on us to believe that by firing a few at the top, we incur an incalcuable loss of talent. No. "The graveyards are full of indespensible men."

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

@nicksortor It'll be spun differently by media, of course, but it shows that Americans will get down "low and slow".....making them vulnerable.....to rescue one of their own. Thank goodness we still have brave and selfless pilots.

@CynicalPublius @SenatorSlotkin There are many, MANY others in the officer ranks who are equally (or, more likely, better) qualified that will step right in and fill their places.

Generals and admirals who refuse to implement the lawful policies of the Trump Administration are disrespecting the Constitutional will of the American people who sent Trump to do EXACTLY what he is doing. These are military leaders who place their own EGOS over the will of the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Being quietly sent into retirement is a gift to them and a sign of benevolence from Hegseth. He could be busting them down a rank or two and telling the world what they did. So stop with your seditious nonsense.

Good Morning, Please join me for a daily scripture break.  Today is Good Friday, a day for somber reflection. Matthew 27:11-54, Please take a few minutes and read with prayerful reflection, the Book of Matthew's account of Jesus’ Passion, Crucifixion and Death. Today, I would like to strongly encourage everyone some time between noon and 3pm, please stop what you are doing. With a moment of silence, prayerfully consider Jesus’ sacrifice - His Passion, Crucifixion, and Death. He obeyed the Will of God and submitted Himself to the cross. He paid the debt for our sins because He loved us.   Please also offer a prayer of thanksgiving and praise for the eternal gift of redemption because there is no other way to enter eternal life with Him except by Him. May God bless you, your family, and our Nation. Peace and be prepared.

@JoshuaTCharles I always refer my Protestant acquaintances to his writings when the inevitable debate on the Eucharist comes up. A disciple and friend of Apostle John and a fervent believer in the Real Presence--died for it. You have quite a patron there!

@Primrose771646 @nicksortor I'm thinking the recent shutdown drama and the knowledge that another might be right around the corner when Congress has its next hissy fit will dull the blow of losing federal perks. We'll see.

🚨 GREAT NEWS: Trump’s budget bill submitted to Congress today begins the process of PRIVATIZING TSA Airports taking part in a test program which TSA pays private screeners have ALREADY proven significant cost savings, per the White House PRIVATIZE IT! 🔥 WHITE HOUSE: “The Budget begins the privatization of TSA's airport screeners by requiring small airports to enroll in the Screening Partnership Program, under which TSA pays for private screeners at designated airports. The airports that already use this program have demonstrated savings compared to Federal screening operations. The move would yield cost savings compared to Federal screening and begin reform of a troubled Federal agency.”

@SenMastriano That was quite the coif you had back then, Senator. I'd be found guilty of sporting similar in those days (if anyone were to ever care and post about it). Awesome that you found such a good woman who cared about you in return. Blessings to both.

On this date back in college, I got down on one knee and proposed to Rebbie 💍❤️ She said yes without a second thought… Then I realized it was April Fools’ Day and tried to take the ring back. Rebbie smiled sweetly and said, “Sorry… you offered, I accepted.” 😄

@atensnut I always wondered why Veronica seemed to "have it" when it came to appeal even though Betty was considered the nicer, more wholesome one. Something about 'bad girls' I suppose....

Wow! I Never knew this! “Sugar, Sugar”, was the number one song in America in 1969 by a fictitious band, The Archies. It was actually performed by various studio musicians. It played on board the Apollo 12 on their way to the moon.
