@robstaton How old is that church in the background?

On the plus side Spurs, this really is a lovely view from the Lincoln City press box

@james_xond Yes. But I don’t think I’d quit working

Be honest for a second: would you quit your job tomorrow if you won $2M in the lottery today?

@jimoberman @McFaul Why do my tax dollars have to go to building another country

@McFaul Hope he follows through. There are no politically correct wars. Look what happened in Vietnam. Afghanistan. Should put them in the dark. We can pay to help them rebuild after they surrender. Just like we rebuilt Europe after WWII.

You definitely have my attention to this matter.

@rmlunn @ImBreckWorsham Exactly. But it will have no effect if Iran refuses to sell it or only sells it in Yuan.

Check your news sources: The United States did **not** just buy $14 billion worth of oil from Iran. The claim appears to stem from recent news about a temporary U.S. policy change amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel war with Iran (which began in late February 2026). Here's what actually happened: - On March 20, 2026, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a **narrow, temporary 30-day waiver** (a general license) allowing the **sale and delivery** of Iranian oil and petroleum products that were **already loaded onto tankers** (stranded at sea) as of that date. - This applies to roughly **140 million barrels** of existing Iranian oil cargo. - At current oil prices, this volume is estimated to be worth **more than $14 billion**—and that revenue would go to **Iran** (Tehran), not the U.S. - The goal is to quickly increase global oil supply, ease surging energy prices (driven by the war's disruptions in the Middle East, including threats to the Strait of Hormuz), and prevent even higher costs for consumers worldwide. - Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described it as a "narrowly tailored, short-term authorization" strictly limited to oil already in transit—no new Iranian oil production or purchases are allowed. - Importantly, the U.S. has **not** directly purchased this oil. The waiver permits **global buyers** (likely mostly in Asia, like China, which has been buying discounted Iranian oil) to complete transactions without sanctions penalties. The U.S. might allow some Iranian-origin oil to be imported if needed to finalize sales, but there's no indication of large-scale direct U.S. purchases, and the U.S. hasn't meaningfully imported Iranian oil since the 1979 revolution due to longstanding sanctions. This is a pragmatic (and ironic) move by the Trump administration to stabilize energy markets **during** the active military conflict with Iran—not a purchase by the U.S. government or a sign of normalized trade. It's the third such waiver during the war (following similar actions for Russian oil stuck due to sanctions). The viral phrasing ("The United States just bought $14 billion in oil from Iran") misrepresents the story—it's about **unlocking existing Iranian oil for sale to the world** (benefiting Iran financially in the short term) to cool global prices, not the U.S. buying it directly.

The United States just bought $14 billion in oil from Iran. While we're In the middle of a war.....with Iran.

@NeilShenvi It is certainly inconsistent with the character of Christ. And it is a sin that needs to be repented of and dealt with but l’ll leave the final judgement up to God.

"Anyone who affirms the Nicene Creed is a Christian." "Slaveowners were not Christians." You can't affirm both.

@EWErickson You are talking about a history that was a very long time ago and the British culture is much different than the Japanese culture as far as sensitivities are concerned.

When Obama joked to the British Prime Minister at the White House about the British burning down DC, the press did not get the vapors. But Trump joking about Pearl Harbor requires fainting couches.

@realstewpeters Not to mention that Kim threatens us all the time. The truth is it’s about leverage. The super powers want to keep as many people under their thumb as they can to protect their intere$ts. When someone gets a nuke they get a seat at the table.

North Korea actually has nuclear warheads and ICBMs capable of reaching the U.S. So why is Iran a greater threat than N. Korea? They’re not. This war isn’t about nukes or security for the American people. It’s about serving Israel in their Middle East land grab.

@ImBreckWorsham This is what I voted for! 👏

U.S. gas prices likely to hit $4 a gallon next week after reaching $3.90/gallon today. Thoughts?

@Erickfajardo @kaitlancollins It’s delightful to watch you go down the downward spiral with him with every new low.

@kaitlancollins It is delightful to watch how he makes you look like an extreme-left fanatic, day after day.

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@conservmillen While he’s killing people at the same time. Glorious!

Wow, what a blessing to have leadership that calls on the name of Jesus in these perilous times. Thank you, Lord!

@NealSchonMusic Any thought to doing a follow up record?

Great to see some fans at the concert with HSAS T Shirts on 👊🏽🙌🏽👊🏽

@RyJoh24 @stephenasmith Both can be true at the same time. Bibi controls Trump and I’m out of my mind.

@stephenasmith If you think Bibi can control Trump you are out of your mind 😂😂

Did the U.S. enter this war on its own terms or because of allies?

@Daytobehappy I’d see more movies if 1) it was cheaper to go to the theatre 2) drive ins made a comeback 3) if not for them coming out on streaming right away. I couldn’t tell you a single movie that was nominated not that I wouldn’t be interested but…

I haven't watched the Oscars in 12 years and I used to be obsessed with all things Hollywood. There isn't a movie that was nominated that I want to see and besides Christian movies I only watch old movies.

@arash_tehran Maybe it should be. It’s them that are the ones who get their people into wars. It’s the common people that are dying for the rich and powerful. If it goes the other way around maybe there’ll be no more wars.

On Larijani's killing: Do we realize that, until recently, it was extremely rare for countries, even those at war, to simply kill each other's top political officials? Are we ready for this to be the 'new normal'?

@ClayTravis If they go back they will execute them and probably their families anyway.

Iran has reportedly kidnapped the families of the Iranian women’s soccer team members who requested asylum & the women are now abandoning those claims and returning to the country to face torture or death. No prominent left wing American women’s soccer players have said a word.

@JoshEakle If he doesn’t know he did demonstrate it on the double tap near Venezuela

Hegseth: "No quarter, no mercy, for our enemies." Whether or not Hegseth even knows what he's saying, "no quarter" means executing soldiers who try to surrender. It's been a war crime for over a century. This is the world MAGA wants to bring back.

@ImBreckWorsham Come get us! He’ll have to build more prisons. But I’m going to really like the settlement 💵 after I serve a sentence. Early retirement

Trump is now suggesting that anyone criticizing the war in Iran on social media, including journalists, be charged with treason and imprisoned. Thoughts?

@ekremcelikiz @grok did Israel say this to Turkey?

Israel warns Turkey is next after Iran. But they should ask: What happens when Israel becomes Turkey’s target? Make no mistake, Turkey is not like the others. We are a nation born of soldiers. Tread carefully!

@RichJohnsonNFL @AdamFerrellNFL @grok did Bosa really say this?

Free agent EDGE Joey Bosa is refusing to sign with any team whose city has declared itself a sanctuary city. Down to two options, per @AdamFerrellNFL

@SenTuberville It’s fine to talk about radicals/extremists but distinguish them from the average everyday follower of Islam is key here.

Democrats are calling me a “racist” for speaking the truth about Radical Islam. But it isn’t a race. It is a DEATH CULT that teaches its followers to kill Americans.
