They want surveillance powers renewed but won’t secure elections? No SAVE America Act = No FISA.

Notice how eager Congress is to put the SAVE America Act behind them and move straight onto FISA spying. We cannot let them just move on. No SAVE America Act = No FISA

Do you believe the special relationship of the Jewish people as God’s chosen (the election and love 'on account of the patriarchs') has been completely severed because of Jesus and the New Covenant? Or do you believe it still extends to the current Jewish people (the descendants/tribe) today, but just not connected to the modern nation-state of Israel?

@CToonah @DavidLimbaugh I think he was referring to the the Jewish people- not the modern country of Israel. I think tribe is also a way to describe the people that made up what is collectively called Israel.

The following comment is not intended to cause further strife between evangelicals and Catholics, but the opposite: I think there's been an effort to smear Israel-supporting evangelicals by flippantly calling them "Dispensationalists," meaning, essentially, that they are knuckle-dragging heretics. Certain people use the label pejoratively to suggest that we Israel-supporting evangelicals are Dispensationalists who want to hasten the End Times and so are willing to support policies aimed at doing so, even if against the interests of the US. A couple of points on that. Not all people who believe that the Abrahamic Covenant land promise was Israel-specific and is eternal (and still in force) are Dispensationalists. I, for one, firmly believe the land promise portion of the Abrahamic Covenant is Israel specific and still in force. But I don't consider myself a Dispensaitonalist, which involves more issues. In fact, the late, revered John MacArthur was not a dispensationalist but did believe the land promise is to Israel specifically and for that purpose the church did not replace Israel. If I remember correctly, he said that sound, intellectually honest exegesis doesn't lead to that conclusion. But a more important point is this: I would wager that the overwhelming majority of Bible-believing evangelicals do not believe we should try to pro-actively hasten the End Times. We are not to know the time of the Great Tribulation, etc. We are not to concern ourselves with the "when." Because we believe in God's sovereignty (which is not incompatible with free will, in my opinion) and because we believe it is not for us to know when the End Times will occur, we should definitely not proactively try to usher it in. I am sure there are some who believe we should but I would think they are quite on the fringe. I admit that I support Israel for theological reasons. I believe God's Covenant with Israel as to the land is permanent and I believe He meant what He said that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. I also support Israel as a strong ally for a host of other reasons. My theological support for Israel does not mean I would subordinate the interests of the US to those of Israel and it does not exempt Israel or immunize it from criticism. I also don't expect others to share my belief or support Israel because of my theological beliefs about it. But I have a right to allow my theological beliefs and my overall Christian worldview to inform my policy positions, just like everyone has a right to do the same with their own worldview. So please don't fall for the notion that all evangelical supporters of Israel are Dispensationlists and especially that they want to hasten the End Times. None in my orbit want to do that. They may say, "I hope Jesus returns soon," but they don't go further and say, "So let's do everything we can to facilitate that." That would be such a presumptuous and biblically disobedient posture. I think history and scripture support my view that Israel is the apple of God's eye. As I and others have written, no nation in history has been dispersed for more than 5 or so generations and retained its ethnic identity and language, but Israel did. It not only retained it but in 1948, some 1900 years after it was routed by Rome in 70 AD it came back, miraculously, to the land. God had his hand in that. Then Israel, against all odds, won two wars against multiple surrounding nations committed to its destruction and extinction. We can go on and on-looking at the amazing things the Jewish people have done in that little nation and how advanced they are -- and how sophisticated they are and how amazing their intelligence and military forces are -- consider the beepers (otherworldly). Their success has by no means been all because the US has supported her, though our support has been very important. So, bottom line, believe what you want about Israel. Believe the church replaced Israel for all purposes, but I don't. I believe the Bible is clear that when God promised Abraham He would bless all nations through him he meant Jews and Gentiles alike and he was referring to the Gospel -- way back in Genesis. So yes, certain promises in the Abrahamic Covenant do extend to Gentiles. But not the land promise. And from a Christian standpoint (again in my view, because by no means do I speak for all evangelicals) God isn't done with the Jewish people in any way. Read Romans 11. They are the vine and we are the branches grafted in. You can believe if you wish that we Israel-supporting evangelicals are all sitting around reading the Scofield Bible. I've never read it. Don't let the trouble-makers scare you into thinking Israel-supporting evangelicals are up to no good and would ever subordinate the interests of the US for Israel. Don't believe they would hasten the End Times. The trouble-makers just want to make you think we're crazy and reckless to further alienate us against Israel, and to divide us for other reasons. Not true. Do with this what you will, but I'm trying to lay this out as honestly as I can. The entire field of dispensationalism is more complex and I see no reason to go into that, especially since I don't consider myself one. Thank me for my attention to these matters.

@crush_urbanite @OldHollowTree Funny how everyone who hates youth sports thinks there’s more to life than youth sports.

@OldHollowTree Funny how everyone that is against youth sports have kids who suck at youth sports

I didn’t expect the American right to start coming out against travel sports but it’s a trend I appreciate. More family dinners around the table.

You think Paul is only referring to whoever happened to be living in the land of Israel at the time and not the historical Jewish people? How do you reconcile Romans 11:28-29? 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, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.

@CToonah @DavidLimbaugh My understanding is that Paul refers to the people living in Israel and not the country/nation-state Israel as it’s read in context of the preceding text. In paria materia.

@CatJenkins99 @DavidLimbaugh Have you read Romans 11? Does it reconcile with your Catholic beliefs?

@DavidLimbaugh I’m trying to understand why are you not Jewish if you believe they are God’s chosen people? I believe they were and then Jesus changed all of that. I’m honestly curious about this point and it doesn’t reconcile with my beliefs as a catholic.

It's weird that adult teachers and staff are hating on me on social media. Teachers always say that everyone has the right to their own beliefs. I believe that too. I also think that facts are facts. Boys can't simply choose to become girls and expect to take away our rights.

@AB84 I don’t even like you but yeah - it’s legit. It has worked for me so many times I can’t deny it. The key though is not “prayer” it’s to whom you are praying and in whose name you are praying.

Be totally honest. Has prayer ever truly worked in your life?

@GiaMMacool You nailed it. For men that think in terms of “male luxury branding” they should absolutely do what you are suggesting. For men that want to spend 60 years with their best friend and raise children and grandchildren together there might be more important factors.

Having a hot wife is male luxury branding. You walk into a room with her and suddenly the owner is shaking your hand Next, they’re inviting you to their exclusive events. Even the service is quicker lol Other men are looking at you like you got some cheat code You don’t need the Bentley. A hot wife is a walking billboard of success.

BREAKING: Patrick Bet David just directly challenged Tucker Carlson. “Let’s hire third party accounting firms to go through our financials and see if I’ve ever taken money from Israel or if you’ve ever taken money from Qatar or Pakistan.”

PRAYER REQUEST: Will you set your alarm to pray on the hour, 9am to 9pm, tomorrow? Join me to pray for @MrsErikaKirk and her babies. I can’t imagine what she is enduring with the trial of her husband’s killer starting and the horrific lies & smears being spread online against her. Just say something short. Doesn’t have to be fancy. But storming heaven seems like the least we can all do.

A useful way to think about migration is to consider what kind of societies the migrants have built in their home countries and to what extent you would like those conditions replicated here.

Holy f*ck. Word for word. Ana Kasaparian (Extreme Left Wing) and Nick Fuentes (Extreme Right Wing) paint themselves as polar opposites on the political spectrum. However, listen to them here, side by side. This is horseshoe theory on fully display.

John Thune is blocking voter ID.

If you're a conservative or right-winger who stopped supporting Israel in the last few years, you are the victim of another Leftist psyop and are doing their work for them. You might not like hearing that, but it's 100% true.

Today, we took long-overdue action to restore science, accountability, and the rule of law. In September 2023, the Biden FDA pushed a number of peptides into Category 2 — “Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks” — driving a dangerous black market that puts Americans at risk. Now, after nominators withdrew 12 peptides, the FDA will remove them from Category 2 and will bring them to PCAC at its next two meetings, beginning in July—where independent experts will rigorously evaluate each substance on its scientific merits using full clinical, pharmacological, and safety evidence. • BPC-157 • Thymosin beta-4 fragment (LKKTETQ) • Epitalon • GHK-Cu (injectable) • MOTS-c • DSIP (Emideltide) • Dihexa Acetate • Ibutamoren Mesylate • Melanotan II • KPV • Semax (heptapeptide) • Cathelicidin LL-37 This action begins to restore regulated access and will immediately begin shifting demand away from the black market. We will follow the science, enforce the law, and deliver the clarity patients, providers, and pharmacies deserve.

@steve_hanke What could you possibly gain from pushing this? People are interested in quantity theory of money and your thoughts on economics - not this.

Distinguished UChicago Prof. John Mearsheimer on the Israel Lobby: “The Israelis basically own us [the USA] —they’re driving our negotiating position... this conflict is going to go on and on because the Israelis want it to.”

@heresyfinancial For the same reason I never allowed myself to get on a sport bike. I saw too many friends die. Dirt bikes FTW.

I learned how to ride a motorcycle on my buddy’s Ducati monster in college After about 15 minutes of practice in his neighborhood, we hopped on the freeway and were doing 85-90 weaving through traffic The adrenaline and freedom was pure euphoria. And I realized in that moment that if I ever bought a bike, I would die on it. I’ve never been on one since.

For everyone tweaking at my last post: I support Trump, and I spend 8 hours a day defending him. I will not defend blasphemy. Just correct it and move on. You don’t have to defend it. You don’t have to stop supporting him because you call it out. God > politics.

They put scars on women’s faces for a job interview experiment… then secretly removed them. The women went in believing they had visible disfigurements — and came out reporting massive discrimination, with interviewers supposedly referencing their “scars.” Konstantin Kisin used this study to make a powerful point: constantly telling people they’re oppressed or disadvantaged primes them to see discrimination everywhere, even when it isn’t there. It’s the same psychological effect as buying a new car and suddenly noticing that model on every street. The ideology of victimhood doesn’t just describe reality — it actively shapes it. We should be teaching young people they’re strong and capable of overcoming adversity, not training them to see themselves as permanent victims. What’s one way you’ve seen this “victimhood mindset” play out in real life?
