@VividProwess Amen

It’s Shabbat again, and I have a few things I will pray for today: - May Israel and the US will prevail. - May we see better days. - May antisemitism cease to exist. - May Iran be freed from the Islamic regime. - May God give us the strength to continue. Can I get an “Amen”? 🙏

@mattvanswol They always tell you

It is honestly insane to me that the Democratic Party’s logo is literally an ass (donkey) with holes in it. Assholes. That’s their actual logo.

@MNUpNorthLakeG1 Man dressed as a girl

Worst.

@mattvanswol Teach them to read God’s word, the Bible.

Working on a project. Parents, what is the best parenting advice you can give about raising kids?

@TheMuppetPastor 🤣

Untrue. My grandma sent my aunt on much longer guilt trips.

@VividProwess Truth

Charlie Kirk used to say that the Left will use Islam to bring down America. “The spiritual battle is coming to the West and the enemies are woke-ism or Marxism combining with Islamism to go after what we call the American way of life”

@DrJStrategy Perfect

Food for thought. Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface. The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities. Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. In that context, his reported blunt message to European and British leaders, you need the oil out of the Strait more than we do; why don’t you go and take it? Is not a throwaway line. It is the verbalisation of the antithesis. It openly reverses the traditional presumption that America will carry the burden while its allies emote from the sidelines. In this dialectic, the prize is not simply the reopening of a chokepoint. The prize is a reordered system in which the United States effectively arbitrages and controls the global flow of oil. A world in which US‑aligned production in the Americas plus a discretionary capability to secure,or not secure, Hormuz places Washington at the centre of the hydrocarbon chessboard. For that strategic end, a rapid restoration of the old status quo would be counterproductive. A quick, surgical “fix” of Hormuz would short‑circuit the dialectic. If Trump rapidly crushed Iran’s remaining coastal capabilities, swept the mines and escorted tankers back through the Strait, Europe and the UK would heave a sigh of relief and return to business as usual: underfunded militaries, maximalist green posturing and performative disdain for US power, all underwritten by that same power. The contradiction between their dependence and their posture would remain latent. By declining to supply the synthesis on demand, and by explicitly telling London and Brussels to “go and take it” themselves, Trump forces a reckoning. European and British leaders must confront the fact that their energy systems, their industrial bases and their geopolitical sermons all rest on an American hard‑power foundation they neither finance nor politically respect. The longer the contradiction is allowed to unfold, the stronger the eventual synthesis can be: a new order in which access to secure flows, Hormuz, Venezuela and beyond, is explicitly conditional on real contributions, not assumed as a right. In that sense, the delay in “taking” the Strait, and the challenge issued to US allies to do it themselves, is not indecision. It is the negative moment Hegel insisted was necessary for history to move. Only by withholding the old guarantee, and by saying so out loud to those who depended on it, can Trump hope to end the free ride.

@AnonWeasel @infantrydort @Metallic_Link Catch reality sometime when it comes by

@infantrydort @Metallic_Link Killing 200 Iranian schoolgirls is fine but you better not retaliate by killing a pilot who was actively bombing your country. You're a joke.

Even if we’re in the midst of bombing you into oblivion, we get exceedingly more violent if you harm a hair on the heads of our pilots. Just an unfriendly reminder of how a nation with overmatch can behave in situations like this.

@farmingandJesus Amen

Historically Jesus may have been crucified naked to double the shame 💔 They pulled his beard out , mocked him, spit on him, put a crown of thorns on his head, whipped him, and beat him before ultimately crucifying him which is horrifying because you also cannot breathe and have to lift your body that has been nailed to a tree to breathe, imagine how painful his wounds were… but the worst suffering was that he drank the cup of the wrath of God , our sin nailed to that cross … the sinless lamb of God took our punishment. I deserve that cross, you deserve the cross. Our God died for us. He wasn’t recognizable as human he was beaten so badly. Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonished at you— his appearance was so marred, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of the children of mankind— Lord have mercy on me, a sinner!

Thank God for his Mercy tonight

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through. Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating. Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience. The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse. The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him. Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will. Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal. He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man. This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt. Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone. This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss. Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull. These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds. At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in. What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back. Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile. Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive. Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms. A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe. He suffered for 6 hours. His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life. His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long. His heart was struggling to pump blood. He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking. His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress. And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin. He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him. HE DID IT ALL FOR US. To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom. Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it. And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going. For us.

@mattvanswol You’re understanding now Always projection

Maybe the people saying Black people are too stupid to get an ID to vote… are the racists. Maybe the people saying married women can’t figure out how to get a birth certificate… are the sexists. Maybe the people calling everyone else a threat to democracy… are the ones trying to rig it. Maybe the people obsessed with “equity” while ignoring merit… are the ones holding people back. Maybe the people who can’t name a single limit on immigration… are the extremists. Maybe the people who say they’re fighting for the working class… while flying private, actually aren’t. Maybe the people who say they care about the poor… have run every major American city for 50 years and made them ALL worse. Maybe the people calling for more gun control… travel with armed security paid for by taxpayers. Maybe the people who claim to love science… but can’t define what a woman is aren’t following it. Maybe the people demanding unity while calling half the country fascists… don’t actually want unity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Maybe it was never about justice, equity, tolerance, or democracy. Maybe it was always about power. And maybe the way you know that, is that they never stop accusing YOU of exactly what THEY are doing.

@TheMuppetPastor Happy jokester…. nothing in this country would go that good these days.

Breaking: Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson will be disbarred from the Supreme Court after evidence proves that she was appointed via Autopen!!

@grey4626 Well put again!

What in the goddamn name of the Republic are we witnessing on the highest court in the land? Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, that walking monument to ideological capture and judicial malpractice, just dropped a hypothetical so brain-meltingly idiotic during today's oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara that it doesn't just expose her as unfit...it eviscerates the pretense that this Court still operates on reason rather than raw progressive fever-dreams. Jackson, in her relentless quest to stretch the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause into an open-border welcome mat, conjures this gem: She's a U.S. tourist in Japan. She steals someone's wallet. Japanese cops arrest her, prosecute her. Ergo, allegiance. Physical presence equals "owing allegiance in that sense," she intones, as if reading from a freshman poli-sci hallucination. And presto...temporary visitors, undocumented invaders, even Chinese spies waltzing through our airports? They, too, get the magic "allegiance" badge. Thus, their anchor babies are full citizens by birth. Genius, right? The kind of genius that makes you wonder if the Senate confirmation hearings were a séance for the ghost of Earl Warren on bath salts. Jackson's not just wrong...she's weaponizing ignorance against the Framers' explicit design. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868 to secure citizenship for freed slaves after the bloodbath of the Civil War, is crystal: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." That "and" is no throwaway; it's the gatekeeper. "Subject to the jurisdiction" never meant mere territorial presence or subjection to criminal statutes. It meant complete political jurisdiction...full allegiance to the United States, owing it no divided loyalty, not transient subjection to its police power. This is black-letter originalism, straight from the Senate debates. Senator Lyman Trumbull, who drafted the clause, hammered it: Jurisdiction requires being "not subject to any foreign power"...no diplomatic immunity, no tribal sovereignty, no invading army, and damn sure no illegal entry or tourist visa that screams "I belong elsewhere." The Supreme Court ratified this in Elk v. Wilkins (1884), denying citizenship to a Native American born on U.S. soil but still tied to tribal allegiance. Even United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898)...the liberal holy grail...limited itself to the child of legal, domiciled Chinese immigrants, not transients or lawbreakers. Jackson's wallet-theft fever-dream conflates territorial jurisdiction (you can be prosecuted) with political jurisdiction (you owe undiluted allegiance). It's the legal equivalent of mistaking a parking ticket for a loyalty oath. A spy in Langley doesn't "owe allegiance" to America because he pays for his coffee in dollars; he owes it to Beijing, full stop. This isn't a slip. It's textbook cognitive dissonance on steroids, the activist judge's classic pathology. Jackson, elevated through the DEI pipeline and Biden's identity-politics sacrament, isn't reasoning from the Constitution...she's reverse-engineering it to fit a worldview where borders are bigotry and citizenship is a human right for anyone who can fog a mirror on American soil. It's the same psychological trap that infected the Warren Court: moral vanity masquerading as jurisprudence, where empathy for the "marginalized...read: illegal entrants gaming the system...trumps textual fidelity. She projects her own transient "allegiance" to progressive orthodoxy onto the law, stealing the wallet of original meaning and calling it justice. Profoundly unserious. Lethally dangerous. This isn't harmless hypotheticals over coffee. If Jackson's logic holds, a cartel mule dropping a kid in El Paso gets to manufacture a citizen-anchor while thumbing his nose at our laws. The Framers, who fought a revolution against divided allegiances, would have tarred and feathered this reasoning. 💀⚖️

@MOSSADil It is a spiritual question. The evil one is pushing this further. And will continue to do so till the armies of the world march on Israel.

I’m looking for your honest feedback on something I’ve been noticing. In recent years, there seems to be a growing split within parts of the Christian world. On one side, many Christians strongly support Israel, rooted in shared values, faith, and worldview. On the other, a louder minority is emerging that frames Jews as evil, using language like “synagogue of Satan,” and positioning that stance as a moral or even religious obligation. And here’s what stands out: If this were truly about human rights or morality, why the silence on: • The mass killing of Christians in Nigeria • Restrictions on Christian life across parts of the Middle East • Church closures in places like Lebanon But when it involves Israel, the reaction is immediate, intense, and often accusatory. So I’m asking genuinely: Are we witnessing a deeper shift? Is this theological, political, or something more coordinated? Is replacement theology being challenged by a strong, thriving Israel? Curious to hear from Christians and non-Christians alike.

@mattvanswol Bueno

So basically: a) ICE deploys somewhere b) TSA lines plummet c) Traffic vanishes d) ERs clear out e) Construction sites are ghost towns f) Class sizes shrink ...and we're still supposed to believe there are only 11 million illegal aliens in the country?!

@mnhouseDFL Grow up

GOP Rep. Mary Franson says she's not worried about climate change because it's not in the Bible: "If you've read the Good Book, you know how it ends, and it's not with climate change." How can we expect Republicans to do serious work when they're so proud about ignoring science?

@WallStreetApes Just experienced it, my car has suffered zero depreciation though it’s six years old…theft!!!!

Minnesota residents are shocked to find the state has changed how they calculate vehicle registration fees and they’re being charged more What makes it worse is they know how many billions Tim Walz is letting foreigners steal, and then raising their registration fees “When we look at our government spending and how much we've already had go out the door that we don't even know where it went and we can't get it back, why were we punished? That's what I don't understand.”

Why do Democrats always want America’s military to fail in its assigned missions if a Republican is POTUS? I honestly do not understand this mentality.
