@farmingandJesus Sometimes, the only prayer is that God's will be done. Whatever that may mean, it is good.

@TheMuppetPastor I mean, she was obviously pretty entertaining if they stuck with her for a full hour. Maybe they should just hire her.

@realMaalouf Being the sort of person this guy is is a punishment in itself. You almost feel sorry for him, given how vile and detestable a person he is.

@DrFrankTurek No one's saying that. Everyone believes in free will. We just disagree on the nature of it. Is it possible that YOUR CONCEPTION of free will is incorrect?

Candace Owens has ruined the only good thing that came out of Charlie Kirk’s death.

@JeremyDBoreing But you didn't understand. You see, she "know knows", and "know knowing" is basically a sure thing.

"Completely exposes" in this case just means "asserted in a loud voice."
As I have said, Ben did not have some special IDF Mossad security team.
He just had FRG, which is the same team Candace had at the time.
So tell me the lie.
Candace offers no proof, as per usual. She just makes claims and accusations.

🚨 WTF?! Top journalist Candace Owens completely exposes Jeremy Boreing for blatantly lying to protect Ben Shapiro! She demands to know exactly who on Shapiro's former IDF Mossad security team was secretly receiving live updates during the Charlie Kirk assassination!

This is also presents a good opportunity to note how Calvinism's view of free will is typically caricatured.
I haven't seen this movie, but from what you describe, this is basically how most Arminians seem to think Calvinists think of human freedom--God compelling men to act just so, against their innermost desires. This creates the impression that man is like a puppet. The puppet wants to do one thing, but God, who is pulling his strings, has him do another. I don't know any Calvinist who would agree with this caricature.
Instead, God changes the heart, awakening new desires within the man, so that he genuinely wants things that he previously did not and in turn acts to pursue them. No strings are required here, as the man does precisely as he wishes, which so happens to be precisely as God wishes, in accordance with these new desires. In terms of the movie, imagine that Bear had wished that Nikki loved him and that the wish had actually changed her inwardly, so that she did in fact, through a series of circumstances and inward changes, come to love him genuinely and without any inclination otherwise. This would be closer to what Calvinist's actually hold.
A God who has absolute access to the human heart (more than even a person has to his own heart) does not need to compel people to faith by bending a man's will against his desires. Rather, He can so work in someone's heart (His creation, whom He has every right to change) to bring about genuine desire to believe and follow. Because a truly free will is enslaved to the heart it serves and God can change the heart, He has needn't do anything to the will at all to alter a man's course. He need only change the man's heart. Thus the man remains free while God gets ultimate credit for his salvation.

Since it came out people have been raving about the new movie Obsession and after finally watching it, I can see what the hype is about.
For those of you unfamiliar with this film the plot is pretty simple. The main character, Bear, is a man obsessed with a woman, Nikki, in his small friend group, and after failing to tell her his real feelings he makes a wish using a "One Wish Willow" that she will love him more than anyone else in the world. The wish comes true, but soon becomes a nightmare as Nikki becomes increasingly unhinged and... obsessed.
If you look at the discourse surrounding this movie, you'll see there's a lot of talk about who the real villain is. Is it Nikki? Maybe, she does act totally deranged and even kills people... but most viewers don't think so. After careful reflection, most viewers (and I'm one of them) think the real villain is Bear. He made the wish, and only at the end of the movie does he even attempt to remove it. He knows the real Nikki is suffering tremendously and he doesn't care. He only cares when her bizarre behavior inconveniences him.
I could talk about this quite a bit, but what I really want to talk about, and what I haven't seen discussed at all so far regarding this movie... is the importance of free will.
Even though it isn't being said, free will is the reason why people think Nikki is not the villain. When Bear makes his wish he strips away Nikki's real autonomy, he removes her free will. Even Bear acknowledges throughout the film that the things Nikki does, the real Nikki wouldn't do. She's just as much a victim of her actions as the other characters are.
But this idea is not only true in the film, it's true in our world as well. If someone doesn't have control over their actions and the real ability to do otherwise, how can they be responsible for anything they've done? They simply can't. Without real autonomy and free will, humans are in exactly the same boat as Nikki, we're the victims of our actions. Anything bad we do is not our real choice, any more than Nikki's actions are her real choice.
This is where I think atheism faces a serious philosophical challenge. On nearly every atheistic worldview I'm familiar with, genuine free will becomes very difficult to defend. That’s because our thoughts, beliefs, and actions are ultimately the product of forces we don't control. Whether they're determined by an unbroken chain of cause and effect, by the chemistry of our brains, or even by indeterministic events at the quantum level, the result is the same: our choices are not ultimately determined by us. They're determined by factors that happen to us.
If that's true, then we're in the same position as Nikki. Her actions weren't really her own because they were being dictated by something outside of her control (the wish). Likewise, if every human action is ultimately the inevitable result of prior physical causes, then no one is the true author of what they do. We become passengers rather than drivers, victims of the forces acting upon us rather than morally responsible agents.
The audience instinctively rejects Nikki as the villain because we recognize that someone who has lost genuine control over their actions is not morally responsible for them.
But if that principle is true, then it doesn't apply only to Nikki. It applies to everyone if free will is an illusion.
In the end, denying genuine free will doesn't just change how we think about choice. It changes how we think about blame, praise, justice, guilt, and moral responsibility itself.
Any worldview that rejects free will turns every human into a Nikki, into a victim.

@SarahisCensored These options aren't exactly mutually exclusive.

According to Candace Owens and her minions, this is who to blame for the assassination of Charlie Kirk based on her own public statements on X and on her podcast. (I’ve kept track.)
- French Government (including Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron)
- French Foreign Legion (13th Brigade)
- Gendarmerie Intervention Group (GIGN)
- Israel / Israeli operatives / Benjamin Netanyahu
- Jewish donors
- U.S. Government / Feds / FBI
- Deep State / CIA
- Turning Point USA (TPUSA) executives and leadership (including Tyler Boyer and Andrew Kolvet)
- Erika Kirk (Yes, his wife)
- Blake Neff
- Pastor Rob McCoy
- Josh Hammer
- Pierre Dupont and the DuPont family
- Stacy Sheridan
- Freemasons / Broader French interests
- BBNet and Yahoo (with Israeli connections)
- Egypt / Egyptian operations (e.g., planes, and joint exercises)
- Bolsheviks / Anti-Christian forces
- Maroon-shirted individuals (suspected operatives or military)
- TPUSA-associated influencers (e.g., Alex Clark)
- And as of December,2025, the US Military.
There are only three possibly reasons for her nonsense. Either she’s evil, mentally ill, or a complete grifter. Which is it?
Truth is not on the table when it comes to this woman.

You're pushing a false narrative and using the Bible to shame people for not buying your propaganda. You shills have absolutely no shame and will all be exposed.

@farmingandJesus But if I were a fly, I probably would have no idea what's going on and, with my luck, would end up getting smashed before I even got to dance around on someone's food. I think it's probably better to time travel as a human being. Just my humble opinion.

🚨 Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up.
EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.

Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members.
Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.”
Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.”
Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.”
Employee: “Please leave.”
American taxpayer dollars at work.
