"...but when you start promoting the violence and you’re promoting a plan to carry out the violence and recruiting other people to carry out the plan for you, that’s clearly crossing the line."

WV Sheriff Ross Wellinger, "It’s OK to be critical of the government. It’s OK to be critical of things you don’t agree with..."

SMH and wonder how we r all experts of every subject that we never studied or earned degrees. Instead, a 5 minute read (or skim) has now made us medical experts, legal experts, mental health experts, political experts, financial experts, and a whole assortment of other experts.

If your convictions cannot withstand critique or criticism, then they probably should be questioned.

Cancel culture has turned into elimination culture.

Next time you feel frustrated at the work of transformation that God is doing in you, remember that if he didn't care and love you, he wouldn't waste the effort.

Defeat and surrender always feel the same to me But what does it matter? They both bring me to my knees. @MumfordAndSons

Unless we're Jesus (which none of us is), discipleship should always be a two-way street. If we aren't leading AND learning, we're doing it wrong.

I think we've moved into a "Yeah, but" place in our culture. Everyone has an opinion, and we've all got to voice it. Haters gotta hate, and talkers gotta talk. I think we do far more talking than listening.

When we fail to make ourselves available, we shouldn’t be surprised when others fill the gaps that are left by our complacency or immaturity. Don't wait to be asked, be available and offer that availability.

I am legitimately curious. There is an environmental crisis with global warming. Is there not also a financial crisis in the growing deficit of the US? Are they equally important?

What would happen if we spent as much time scrutinizing the acts of those with whom we agree with as much as those with whom we don't agree? Perhaps we might establish dual and mutual accountability. Now that would be something.

@Brink_Thinker The internet needs more of THIS!!! Thank you!

I thought the halftime show was fine. I listen to @kendricklamar and appreciate him. Lots of people out here acting like they're huge fans and they know lots 'cause they read an article or saw a meme. 🤦🏼

Pretty happy I didn't watch the Grammys last night. I feel like the Oscars and Grammys are just self-indulgent echo chambers.

Ever have one of those moments where something just clicks and you get it? Well, that happened today when on social media, I truly saw the definition of gas-lighting played out in front of me. SMH

If these #drones were seen in Texas or some other southern states, they wouldn't last long. Just saying.

How is this possible as the inflation issue has been taken care of by our current administration? cnn.com/2024/11/16/bus…

News agencies report the top 10 richest people got richer due to the election "because of a surge in US stocks on Wednesday as investors anticipated a low-tax and regulation-light policy platform." Didn't anyone invested in the stock market ALSO get richer?
