May The 4th reminder: there are only two Star Wars movies out of the whole lot worth a damn. 1) Star Wars, directed by George Lucas. 2) The Empire Strikes Back, directed by Irvin Kershner. The rest? Garbage.

🚨 JOHN THUNE HAS REAL POWER: No Senator has dared to call for his removal. President Trump hasn’t, and even called him a “very good man” multiple times. That’s POWER. That's LEVERAGE. What kind of blackmail or kompromat does he have over the entire GOP machine that keeps him untouchable? Think about it.

It's sad what the Star Wars franchise has become, but we shouldn't forget how powerfully *Christian* was the original trilogy. The first movie I ever saw in a theater was the original Star Wars in 1977. People today don't realize what a big deal Darth Vader was: he was the ultimate villain (far more terrifying than Thanos or any of today's Hollywood villains). There was nothing redeeming about him; he personified evil. That's why Vader's redemption in Return of the Jedi (spoiler!) was so mind-blowing when it happened. Nobody saw this coming: the personification of evil could be converted to good? Unthinkable. Yet that's exactly what happened, through the love of his son (another spoiler!). The belief that *no one* is beyond redemption—and that love can overcome even the worst evil—are fundamentally Christian beliefs. The original Star Wars trilogy demonstrated how Christianity was still a deep part of our culture in the 1970's and 1980's, even though so many at that time were working fervently to reject those Christian foundations. So while the Star Wars franchise is in pitiful shape today, I'm thankful for that original trilogy and the fundamentally Christian message it proclaimed to millions of people.

I went to Springfield’s Walmart yesterday. Haitians with carts piled 1.5X full, flowing with meats, fish, gourmet entrees, soft drinks (milk & honey?). Young, working age. Meanwhile old underclass whites with a basket of 2, 3, 5 items. Starkest contrast. I couldn’t believe it.
