@mattvanswol Secular humanism has permeated everything. There have always been progressive churches that believe social change is more important than the gospel.

I could use some help... I came back to church after years away and I'm still figuring a lot of it out... but what is going on with the "Christian Leftists"???? These are people who know Scripture better than I do... but the SAME PEOPLE turn around and tell me a kid in elementary school can know 100% that they were born in the wrong body. That puberty blockers are healthcare. That get flustered and extremely angry at any reasonable question I throw at them about it. That actually to question any of it is a form of sin in someway? These people will literally say the church is too White. As if whiteness itself is a big problem or a sin and that we need to repent of being white, and fix it in a room full of people who showed up to worship Jesus. Can someone explain this to me? How on earth does this make any sense from someone who is supposed to be a Christian? How did these Christians get to this place? How did a faith built on the goodness of creation, the dignity of the body, the truth that every person bears the image of God regardless of skin, end up getting SO sucked into these Leftist slogans? What I notice is that every position the Christian left holds happens to track PERFECTLY aligns with the cultural arguments of the Leftist political movement. Every single one. Trans kids. Race. Sexuality. Borders. Guns. Climate. And they'll use the Bible, in genuinely bizarre fashion and slogans to uphold these political beliefs. Like "love thy neighbor" for example, to say that illegal immigrants didn't do anything wrong. "The least of these" somehow means trans kids or something? "Turn the other cheek" somehow means that criminals should never be held accountable for crimes. It seems, and I could be wrong, that a LOT of Christians are using politics to shape their faith. Not the other way around Maybe I'm missing something. I'm willing to be wrong. But from where I'm sitting it looks FAR LESS like Christians are wrestling with hard questions and more like a version of Christianity that has agreed to push forward every argument the culture wants it to... What's going on with the Christian church??????

@TheMainLinePod Gotta be Braums proud

Which “never gonna happen” alternate helmet would you want to see?

@60Minutes Summary: White people who take time off and provide immediate relief and pass out food, are patriotic, and hand out fliers-No pressure. = Bad! But BLM destroys communities and bullies corporate sponsorships=good. @60minutes is garbage.

After natural disasters, white nationalists, militias, and conspiracists often arrive, offering help. But they also want to recruit and improve their image. Watch the full 60 Minutes report: cbsnews.com/news/some-whit…

In honor of the Kentucky Derby this weekend tell me which horse mascot in college football is your favorite?

@Sandra74926167 @Her_Nonymous_D You have obviously never been in a relationship that is toxic, controlling, and manipulative. You lose your voice, you lose your fight, you lose yourself. Abuse comes in many forms.

@Her_Nonymous_D All you feeling sorry for the wife, can she not speak and say something? Like why is she just eating it?

I overheard something at a coffee shop this morning that’s disturbing. This man was chatting with the barista like they were old friends, super casual, laughing as he told a story. At first I wasn’t really paying attention, just waiting for my drink. Then I caught what he was actually saying. He said sometimes he orders extra spicy food for his wife without telling her. Not just a little spicy either, like intentionally over the top. He said he sits there and watches her eat it, trying to be polite, trying not to complain, and he finds it funny. Then he added that after she finishes, he’ll ask how it was… and then confess that he told them to “burn her face off.” And he laughed. Not awkward laughter. Not “this is a dumb joke” laughter. Like genuine amusement. I must’ve made a face, because once he left, the barista looked at me and quietly said…

@Eskimokie36 Must go to the Presley’s. Funny and feel good show

What’s something in Branson we shouldn’t skip this weekend? Kids are 15 and 2 I’m pretty sure that doesn’t help lol.

@Muzzlebuster @Gubloinvestor I see $GRAB often but I have questions about its growth potential. The ride shares & food delivery are extremely cheap can’t possibly generate much growth. The market won’t tolerate significant fee increase. Fintech is inferior and locals prefer touch-n-go. Do you see growth?

$GRAB has an ecosystem moat and runway that is aggressively moving forward. Financial services are severely under-penetrated and the region is hungry to modernize in that way. The platform means they have better data, and better data means better underwriting. x.com/i/status/20485…

Which stock below $5 is the best buy right now?

@Hoopss Russell Westbrook @russwest44

Which player was it that made you a fan of basketball?

@nicksortor @roohmanc It’s worse that we elect her over and over again.

ILHAN OMAR: “The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked was during World War ELEVEN.” Yep, that’s what she said. WORLD WAR ELEVEN. Why are we giving US citizenship to third worlders with subzero IQs??! THIS HAS TO END!

@NFLNumbersGuy Browns

Which NFL team has the worst logo?

@MerriamWebster Privilege - why not priviledge???

What word is your spelling nemesis? This is a safe space.

@CollinRugg Some principal right now is mad because he didn’t leave lesson plans and now someone has to cover his class.

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter was armed with a shotgun, handgun, and multiple knives, according to DC police chief Jeffrey Carroll. The shooter was identified as 31-year-old teacher Cole Allen from Torrance, California. The suspect emerged from a "makeshift room" near the entrance, where "there was no security" near where bar carts were stored, according to the New York Post. "He was in that room... he grabbed it out of a bag or something." The weapon "was long" and "didn’t look like a typical gun," a witness who was a volunteer at the event told the Post. It is reportedly believed that Allen was a guest at the Hilton hotel where the dinner took place.

@Bdrumm_Rivals Looks absolutely beautiful to me.

They didn’t pan to left and stopped right at #OKC Scissortail Park, because a little further to the right and starting further left showed a skyline and Bricktown. But, you know, narratives… Good news, after Wednesday #Suns won’t have to come back. 🧹

@andreagail_k @Real_RobN Please tell me this is a parody account! It’s kinda hard to tell these days.

@Real_RobN Tulsi’s a shitty person & a Russian asset. Biden has always been sharp & focused. And he hired the best, most qualified, appropriate people. Tulsi’s in the worst admin imaginable—that says something about her. It’s always Republicans who support the MIC & start unprovoked wars.

Here it is: The Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: Joe Biden was never calling the shots.... and neither was Kamala Harris Who was? The warmongers—Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Tony Blinkin Jake Sullivan and the military industrial complex. All Joe Biden was a figurehead they can control. In other words: They used the power of the Autopen to run a toppled government.

@nhmohamed90 @ches_eli @damonhtlive How do you have a complete loss from being a CPA?

@Mescalito76 @TimRunsHisMouth I’m sure you are sliding into her DMs right now.

@TimRunsHisMouth Fuck yeah don't body shame that beautiful queen, you animal.

I had to see it so you do as well. 🤮🤮🤮

@MannySchewitz @mikeroweworks And a “media personality” “dog lover” really has no qualifications to comment on politics.

@mikeroweworks I go to a plumber when I need an expert's advice on plumbing. I don't go to one when I need advice on Homeland Security, especially since the one before was a joke too.

I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering... Roger Bicknell... Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin. Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez... Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security. Patrick Wise... Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS. Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation? As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke? Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!" Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb. Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well. PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..

@WallStreetApes Worst is the airport. DFW is full of middle eastern and Indian workers who talk to each other in their language so you don’t know what they are talking about and then the blare their music on their phone in their pockets while walking around.

America says she was just in Old Navy and the workers currently on shift didn’t speak a single word of English “Is this still America?” “So I asked the one of the women that worked there like, Hey, do you know what the kids' socks are? And she goes, ‘no, English.’ — So then I asked another woman about something else. I was looking for a size and she didn't speak English either. Like, is this a thing in Old Navy? We only hire non-English speaking people — ike a well-known retail brand… Come on.”

@timony001 @thegabriel72 As they say in Chicago when an illegal murders a college student. Wrong place at the wrong time. 🤷‍♀️

🚨Q: This anti-ICE rioter was hit in the eye with a rubber bullet a couple months ago and is still suffering from vision loss. He is now preparing to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration because he feels he deserves justice for having to deal with such pain and suffering. Thoughts ?

@iamdavidstonejr What a wonderful testimony! Blessings on you.

Amen!🙏🏾
