@BuzzShillington @sovereignbrah What concrete evidence is there that they are working on a bomb? Why would they use a nuclear bomb on Israel when the nuclear fallout would bring hazard conditions to Iran's Arab allies like Jordan and Egypt?

@sovereignbrah I definitely don’t want 3/4, but I’m on board with taking out their underground bunker that only we can get to it. We’ve been dealing with this whole Iran issue my entire adult life, best not to kick the can when opportunity presents itself like we did with North Korea

@_SPRANX @gavinortlund They are loved just like everyone in the world and worthy of hearing the gospel and being brought to salvation through Jesus. It means nothing with regard to supporting all the actions of any current Israeli government.

As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, (Romans 11:28, NIV) How are we supposed to interpret this passage in light of what you said?

There has been much discussion lately about whether Christians should support Israel. I find it helps to distinguish between two distinct entities: (1) Israel as a modern nation-state (2) Israel as a biblical covenant people 🧵

@BSRefugee @FoxNews A lot of USAID money goes to good causes like feeding the poor and healthcare. Yes, wasteful spending should be cut but taking a machette to the whole thing is not a wise approach.

@FoxNews I know I'm pissed that they stole from us. I've been angry about it for years, so I'm glad something is finally being done.

@anticatlady @FoxNews What do you think will happen when millions of federal employees are unemployed and looking for jobs at the same time? What will happen when poor people no longer have food stamps and housing vouchers? Why doesn't Trump want to keep best & brightest employees?

@FoxNews Not enough cuts!

@PelhamKS @BethesdaRow They want to spend their money they way they want to, not give so much to a government that seems incapable of handling it well. Many wealthy people give to charities, ones they have confidence in. Yes, they need to pay taxes but how much to ineffective govt?

@BethesdaRow Perhaps due to my lowly income status, I simply cannot understand how a tax increase on this tiny scale against such a bloated income category would cause these fat cats to flee. No doubt it did, but what does this reveal about their scroogeosity?

After Maryland raised the income tax rate to 6.25% in 2010 on those making $1M+, within 2 years, "more than 1000 of them no longer filed returns in the state. MD collected $250M less from taxpayers in that bracket than it did before the increase." - The Wall Street Journal

@MikeMacioci @ChrisMurphyCT It is wasteful to just go and take over another territory and put our military in harm's way.

@ChrisMurphyCT Why the concern that Musk is exposing what you should have done all these years. Rooting out waste.

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza. But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

@RomaB @ChrisMurphyCT Trump does not intend to move them back to Gaza. There are so many. Would you want to be ripped from your home involuntarily?

@thescottbarber @Philosorapper_ The problem is autism and why so many kids are becoming autistic, of course no one means the kids themselves are the problem.

@Philosorapper_ There is a distinction between someone having a disability and challenges associated it and them being “a problem to be solved.” That’s the way the CCP thinks. People with disabilities are the image of God in the world.

Autism is just a part of the wonderful diversity of the human race. It is not a problem to be solved.

@LizPeecock @DoloresGMorris @thescottbarber Do you have an autistic child?

@DoloresGMorris @thescottbarber Parents who want to fix the struggle for the child need to ask the child what they would want. Most autistic people including those who can't speak do not want to be cured of autism. It is time that parents stopped trying to want to fix their autistic children.

@thescottbarber @jpbrca Do you have an autistic child?

@jpbrca Yup

@revereresident @docrocker1 @Brcremer If you are a Christian and you voted for Trump that does not make you bad. Everyone had to make the best choice for someone to run the government, not be head of the church. All politicians are flawed & sinful.

@docrocker1 @Brcremer He’s pointing at heretical blasphemous Christians. If you think Trump is one, that’s on you.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

@AtlasVerge @kennycargill @Brcremer Who is skipping the morality part? The president is head of the government not the church. All politicians are sinners, all are flawed, have to pick the one you think will help the economics and society of the country, not someone to be a pastor.

@kennycargill @Brcremer So you think you can just skip the morality part and Jesus will be ok with that because you were nice to other Christians? Lol that's just heresy.

@Whatamess24 @HRH_Jesika @ColMoeDavis It is a very slim majority. Democrats could choose to do things differently yet they do not and have yet to explain why they did not vote for a bill that will keep government running, give aid to hurricane victims and farmers.

@HRH_Jesika @ColMoeDavis Republicans control the house. Republicans decide what is voted on. You’re in a cult.

Tomorrow will be 12 weeks since Hurricane Helene hit the NC mountains and it still looks like a war zone. This is leaving my house heading towards Asheville. The richest man in the world and shadow president vetoed a bipartisan bill that had funds for recovery efforts. Asshole!

@ColMoeDavis They put forth a bill that included relief for North Carolina and the Democrats veteod it.

@Travel25111 @Brcremer Actually Trump and his team are not doing the same old thing so they are disrupting the cycle of power.

@Brcremer Cycles of power perpetuate same old self-serving elite interests

The grand irony of our time: A bunch of wealthy elites ran a populist campaign promising to rid the government of being run by a bunch of wealthy elites only to win and install a bunch of their own wealthy elites to run the government to benefit a bunch of wealthy elites.

@homemadehooplah @BerlinResist How do you propose we stop criminals from coming into the country? How to prevent the human traffiking at the border? We can't take care of our own citizens as it is. Many are on waiting lists for affordable housing, waiting for years.

@BerlinResist Oh, those Americans see it. Problem is, they LIKE it. They see Trump's example and feel relief, like they can finally stop holding their breath. I feel pretty confident 11/5 will not go their way... I just have no idea WTF we're supposed to do with them after that.

@blz314 @evolixsports @Ameen_HGA If you believe she has the best policies to improve the economy & safety & security of our country as govts are charged w/ doing, then you vote for her. But make no mistake both candidates are sinners as we all are.

@evolixsports @Ameen_HGA Glad we are agreed the the right decision is Kamala Harris.

If someone is telling you that you are not a Christian because you are voting for a certain candidate —legit saying God has not saved you because you are voting for a particular person—you should never listen to them again in re to politics unless they make some serious changes.

@evolixsports @Ameen_HGA Still you are not perfect. God wants the church to carry out his mission. Govt is not the church. Vote for the person you think has best policies to help the economy & improve safety & security, these are things govts are charged w/ doing.

@Ameen_HGA No. But I pray about my weaknesses and confess my daily sins, and the spirit works in me to produce fruitful and wise decisions. I also think that examining the true motivations for your vote should be done. Is it what I want or what God wants?

@KatherineMorte8 @aprilajoyr You are a Christian if you place your faith & trust in Jesus to save you from your sins. Has nothing to do w/ who you vote for.

Friendly reminder: You CAN vote Democrat as a Christian. You could even argue voting blue is the more Christ-like vote considering the hatred and dehumanization of the current MAGA movement.

@aprilajoyr @chadmeslinger Pls know that all people sin, even Democrats. There are Democrats who degrade GOP voters, lie & cheat. Most politicians do these things. Vote for the person you think has policies that will help our economy and improve safety & security as it is what govts are for.

@chadmeslinger Same!
