BREAKING - An Arkansas father who killed his 14-year-old daughter’s rapist, Aaron Spencer, has won the Republican primary for sheriff in Lonoke County, the same department that arrested him, saying the legal system failed his family and that he will restore trust in the county.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

Always darkest before the dawn.

The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic. A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone. What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God. So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected. And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs. When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away. This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God. "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29) *Jesus is the reason for the season. Merry Christmas!

A video of Serbian family celebrating the feast of St. Nicholas went viral on Instagram, but sadly it’s because many Americans mocked them for having simple food and humble circumstances. Respect for their faith and resilience. God bless and help this family. 🇷🇸☦️

@FischerKing64 Self-driving cars will make podcasts even more saturated.

Podcasts are on a downward spiral because of how many there are, how many people listen to them - and the incentives for the ‘content creator’ to appeal to the lowest common denominator. But they aren’t worthless. Sometimes they solve ancient riddles of Greek history:

@EndWokeness I never thought I would see the day where I would prefer a Jacob Frey victory.

AI's disruption of the job market combined with rising home prices will cause recruitment to skyrocket in the coming years. Joining the National Guard has crossed my mind more than once for these reasons.

@CultureExploreX It is not an issue of culture, but an issue of authenticity. It feels like he is trying to appeal to the developing world when Mamdani himself described his upbringing as "privileged."

Anyone who calls eating with your hands “backwards” needs to explain why they grab wings, fries, pizza, and burgers with the same fingers. Strange how culture becomes “primitive” only when it isn’t your culture.

@AJA_Cortes I can't answer all of these, but what I can offer is Republican men need to get more involved in the education of their children.

3 questions to ask here how parents failed this badly that their daughter thinks socialism is COOL How the Republican Party continuously fails with younger voters And finally, why socialism appeals at all to younger voters (you won't like the answers)

bruh

@BowTiedBull It's only going to get worse. With how inept some athletes are at managing their finances, there will be no shortage people willing to exploit that vulnerability.

Sports being destroyed by gambling as well, tough to watch knowing that as industry grows the betting size makes fraud even more likely

@anthonysardain @ChrisWillx The disparity between the actual cost of living versus the cost of feeling secure is wider than ever.

@ChrisWillx People talk about the increase in cost of living driving the fertility crisis. But social media has increased expectations of what constitutes “financially secure” Until recently we only compared ourselves against our neighbours. Now we compare ourselves against the global 1%.

Gen Z wants a lot of money. Salaries Americans say they consider the minimum to be “financially successful”: Boomers – $99.9K Gen X – $212.3k Millennials – $180.9K Gen Z – $587.8K Average – $270.2K (Survey of 2,203 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 13-14, 2024)

X loves to pile on boomers (deservedly so at times), but I have noticed one redeeming quality in many of them: They are incredibly observant. I overhear many boomer conversations at church, and depth they reach is impressive. They'll talk of how their dwindling backyard cardinal population, or how their neighbor four doors down has started coming home ten minutes later from work. These are the kinds of subtle observations that stem from a life consisting of a few less distractions.

@sobradob @cremieuxrecueil I thought I missed it too, until I was placed in the presence of a group of teenagers.

@cremieuxrecueil I guess I’m old now because I completely missed this meme

Here's a new generational divide: 67 is now a more popular number than 69.

@SteveOnSpeed Fear monger often in case you are right.

This guy's good. He's correctly predicted 113 of the last 2 crashes over the past 5 years.
