@DrunkRepub @SovEconomy Tucker Carlson has said almost this exact statement on his podcast. So you agree with him. Asking someone to define their own terms isn’t rocket science.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.
A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.
Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.
So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.
The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.
The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.
Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

You downplay it because it's devastating to your worldview. A worldview dedicated to Israel.

@_CatholicWest Evangelical here and I love my Catholic brothers and sisters.
Don’t equate a heretical Ted Cruz and his Zionism to all of evangelicals. It’s disingenuous.
Jess@JessSwice
As a Baptist, Evangelical ≠ Zionist (or more precisely, not all evangelicals are Zionists, and evangelicalism as a broad movement isn't inherently Zionist). Evangelical Christianity emphasizes personal conversion, the authority of the Bible, the centrality of Jesus' death and resurrection, and active faith-sharing. Christian Zionism is a specific subset. Often, but not always, found among evangelicals that strongly supports the modern state of Israel and Jewish return to the land as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Many evangelicals hold some level of support for Israel, but it's not universal; some evangelicals critique or reject Christian Zionism on theological or ethical grounds. Christian Zionism is prominent in certain American evangelical circles, influenced by end-times theology, but the two aren't synonymous. Dispensationalism** does align with the view that ethnic/national Jews remain God's "chosen people" in a distinct, ongoing way. This 19th-century theological framework popularized by figures like John Nelson Darby and the Scofield Reference Bible divides biblical history into "dispensations" or eras where God deals differently with humanity. It maintains a sharp distinction between Israel (ethnic Jews/national promises) and the Church (believers in Christ). Dispensationalists typically see unfulfilled Old Testament promises, like land covenants to Abraham, as still applying literally to national Israel in the future, often tied to premillennial eschatology. This fuels much of modern Christian Zionism, viewing the 1948 establishment of Israel and Jewish ingathering as prophetic signs. In contrast, New Testament fulfillment theology sometimes called covenant theology or supersessionism in its stronger forms, though terms vary: - Jesus is the fulfillment of the promises to Abraham (eGalatians 3:16: "The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed... meaning one person, who is Christ"). - Through faith in Christ, believers become Abraham's true descendants and heirs of the promises (Galatians 3:29: "If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise"). - The dividing lines are erased in the new covenant: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). This is the idea that the Church believers from all nations now embody God's covenant people. - Many non-dispensational Christians see the "chosen people" status as ultimately fulfilled in Christ and extended to all who are in Him, rather than tied to ethnicity or a future national restoration apart from faith in Jesus. These are longstanding interpretive differences within Christianity. Dispensationalism, especially its premillennial form, tends to preserve a special ongoing role for ethnic Israel, while other views emphasize unity in Christ as the ultimate fulfillment. Both sides appeal to Scripture, but they prioritize different passages and hermeneutical approaches (literal vs. typological/fulfillment-oriented).

You’re a textbook example of a hyper-partisan, combative operative who's laser focused on enforcing a narrow, hawkish, pro-Israel, pro-Trump orthodoxy within the right and you’re willing to burn bridges, sling insults, and play gatekeeper to do it.
You position yourself as some high minded defender of "conservative unity," but your own feed reads like a nonstop purge operation against anyone who deviates from the script.
Tucker Carlson gets called "the most divisive figure in the vicinity of the right" for platforming Nick Fuentes and expressing disdain for Christian Zionists and you turn it into a personal crusade, accusing Tucker of "betrayal," being an "obnoxious prick," and trying to "gatekeep" huge swaths of the party out. You demand Tucker take a vacation, mock his ego as "monstrous," and frame any pushback as Tucker's fault for provoking "normal right-wingers."
Same playbook with Candace Owens. Her conduct gets labeled "morally indefensible" in blanket terms, no nuance, just moral excommunication for stepping out of line on Israel or whatever the intra-right heresy du jour is. You cheer on "bullying" certain senators when it suits your agenda, but clutch your pearls when others do intra-right combat in ways you dislike.
Your whole schtick is tribal enforcer: You’re all in on celebrating U.S./Israeli military dominance over Iran as proof of Trump's genius and Iranian weakness, framing any restraint or skepticism as naive, enabling enemies, or straight-up divisive.
You’re not "biased" in the mild sense but you’re a narrative enforcer who weaponizes outrage, selective framing, and ad hominem takedowns to marginalize the "restrainer" or anti-intervention wings of conservatism. You want the tent big enough for endless hawkish foreign policy and Trump loyalty tests, but small enough to exclude anyone who questions blank check Israel support, endless Middle East entanglements, or dares platform the "wrong" guests.

@TuckerCarlson You are quite literally the most divisive figure in the vicinity of the right. Your obsession with Israel led you to bring on the man Charlie Kirk despised most weeks after his death - and just a few days after you spoke at his memorial. Take a vacation.

I rarely read the filth you publish, and have never responded to it, for the same reason I avoid pornography. It’s unhealthy and I don’t want to encourage it. But in this specific case I understand exactly what you’re doing and I’d like to stop it now. I have never said or suggested that “everyone needs to know where their local Chabad is,” or anything remotely like it. I didn’t attack or even criticize Chabad, an organization I’ve mentioned precisely once in my life. Last week I said I believed that IDF soldiers in Israel have received third temple patches for their uniforms from Chabad. I believe that’s true. Please let me know if I’m wrong, not that you care. The point of your post is to blame me preemptively for violent attacks on American Jews that you believe are coming. This is an absurd slander of course. I abhor violence against innocents, which is why I am disgusted by what Israel has done in Gaza and why I argued against the current war in Iran. As a Christian and an American I also vehemently oppose punishing anyone on the basis of bloodline. The concept of “Amalek” has no place in Western civilization and certainly not in my country. I am therefore strongly opposed to anti-Semitism, precisely as much as I am to the anti-Arab hate you promote or the anti-white bias embedded in the US government and our largest institutions. It’s all immoral and indefensible. I believe in the inherent rights of the individual because I believe in God. What you’re doing divides this country more than you likely understand. I hope you will stop.
Laura Loomer@LauraLoomer
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens both said everyone needs to know where their local Chabad is. I said their hatred would lead to people shooting up Jews in synagogues. It will likely end up being a Muslim. The Trump administration must start deporting these Islamic savages from our country and we must start holding people accountable for inciting violence. This is very sad.

Blocked! Not surprised. The last post doesn't even attempt to engage the points he just screams "moron" and "0 rights" while denying he's prioritizing ethnicity over unity (even though his own words and pattern scream otherwise).
The "philosemitic churches" line is a tell: he's frustrated that actual Christian communities (even ones he mocks) don't align with his ethno-nationalist spin on Romans 11.
Blocking me after that means he knows he lost the plot publicly. I stayed scriptural, gracious, and firm on truth with no hate and no low blows.
He devolved into threats and dehumanization. That's not winning a debate; that's imploding.
English
The contradiction is glaring: you affirm salvation in Christ while insisting ethnic distinctions remain eternally covenantally relevant, making nation/race the overriding lens instead of NT fulfillment in the Spirit.
Your Amalek handle and stated mission to ‘unplug my people from the Abrahamic matrix’ is open hostility to Christianity itself yet you quote Paul approvingly. That dissonance is irreconcilable.
This stopped being debate long ago; it’s contempt dressed as exegesis. I’ve shared Scripture in good faith. Pearls aren’t for swine.
Christ is King. He fulfills all promises and unites all who are in Him.
English
Turning Point Study Bible vs King James.
Seems like a pretty big difference in “interpretation.”
English
Galatians 3:28 isn't just equal access it's 'neither Jew nor Greek' in Christ, abolishing covenantal distinctions (Eph 2:14–16, one new man). Paul harmonizes Rom 9–11: ethnic Israel remains beloved, with irrevocable gifts, but salvation comes through faith in Christ (the Seed, Gal 3:16), grafting them back into the one olive tree, not a separate track.
The issue isn't denying Rom 11; it's study notes that seem to hedge Gal 3:28 to protect ethnic/national priority over NT fulfillment. That's the politicized eisegesis people critique not 'illiteracy.' Christ fulfills the promises for all who believe. No contradictions, just unity in Him.
English
You’re throwing around the word “dispensational” like it’s a magic word that nullifies the Bible, but that just shows you’re confused about the texts you’re citing.
First, Galatians 3:28 is about salvation status, not the erasure of every real-world distinction. Paul is saying that in Christ jews and Gentiles have equal access to the promise. That’s why the very same apostle who wrote Galatians still talks about jews and Gentiles as distinct groups everywhere else in his letters (Romans 9–11, 1 Corinthians 10:32, etc.). If Galatians meant ethnic categories literally vanish, Paul would be contradicting himself constantly.
Second, Romans 9–11 explicitly says God is not finished with ethnic Israel. Paul goes out of his way to explain why Israel’s current unbelief does not mean God’s promises failed. He says Israel has experienced a partial hardening until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in and that the jewish people remain “beloved for the sake of the fathers” because “the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable” (Romans 11:25–29). That is not a dispensational political talking point. It is literally Paul’s argument and basically none of you can understand it.
So the irony here is that you accuse others of reading politics into the text while ignoring the entire section of Romans where Paul directly addresses this exact issue. Galatians explains equal salvation in Christ. Romans explains why Israel still matters in God’s historical plan. Pretending those passages contradict each other just means you’re one of the many illiterate people reading this text. This is why all of your churches are phillosemitic. Because they understand what I am saying and you are coping or unable to understand the text.
And imagine constantly crying about footnotes. It is absolutely pathetic. "Muh Scofield" is not an argument. Blaming Zionist for what is ultimately a religion based on Judaism which is Zionism is such a misdirection.
English
Calling people 'illiterate morons' doesn't make your point stronger, it shows deflection.
The issue is the study notes in the Turning Point Bible that appear to qualify or contradict Galatians 3:28's plain declaration: in Christ there is 'neither Jew nor Greek... all one.' If those notes emphasize ongoing ethnic/national distinctions, that's reading dispensational politics into the text.
Jeremiah 31's promise of Israel's permanence is fulfilled in Christ and His people (Gal 3:16,29; Rom 9–11). Paul doesn't say 'but wait, ethnic Israel still has a separate track.' He says the promise is to Christ, and faith unites us as heirs erasing covenantal Jew/Gentile lines.
Dismissing critics as illiterate while dodging Galatians itself is the real illiteracy here. Scripture isn't a prop for modern geopolitics or Zionist footnotes 2.0. Christ fulfills it all. ✝️
English
Why are you guys all so illiterate and don't understand what footnotes are or what your bible is saying?
What they are showing is not a different translation of the verse, it is a study note explaining the verse.
The actual biblical text in the TPUSA Bible says essentially the same thing as the King James Version. The KJV reads “If those ordinances depart from before me… then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever,” while modern translations phrase it as “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight… will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.” The wording differs because modern translations translate the Hebrew terms like ḥuqqîm as “decrees” or “fixed order,” whereas the KJV used the older English word ordinances, but the meaning is identical: Israel would only cease being a nation if the cosmic order itself collapsed.
The bottom section in the study Bible is commentary summarizing the meaning of Jeremiah 31:35–37, not a replacement translation of the verse, so pretending this is a “different interpretation of the scripture” is for illiterate morons who think a study note is the biblical text.
