@Look_againn @RapidResponse47 @SecDuffy @DHSgov Ok, Ahmed

.@SecDuffy says more TSA agents are likely to quit, or start calling out to take other jobs, if they miss another paycheck this Friday as a result of the Democrat @DHSgov shutdown: "I do think it's going to get much worse." Democrats MUST end this highly destructive shutdown.

@ChrisLoesch @JRPearson1959 @heavenmaxxer @TUGFansMatter @m_a_aziz1983 Most scholars of the New Testament see Jesus's sword command as a metaphor for spiritual struggle, not a call to arms . It doesn't read like a metaphor. It's literal and the key words signaling a dramatic transition of his disciples' mission are "but now".

Netanyahu was quoting someone else, these aren’t his words and this edit is deceptive. Idiots have already taken the bait.

It's remarkable that this has to be explained, but the reasons Christians aren't supposed to be antisemitic lunatics obsessed with blaming Jews for everything are spelled out in scripture. In the Book of Acts, we see that the Apostles still identified as Jews and lived as Jews. We see Paul take a Nazirite vow *25 years* after his conversion. James and Peter, by their own descriptions, obviously still kept the Mosaic laws as well, while understanding that the law *did not save them* and that Jesus was the only path to salvation. But there was no such dramatic separation leading to hostility toward Jews (again, the Apostles still identified as Jews themselves), as claimed by a certain podcasting class today. For the Apostles, Jesus was a fulfillment of Jewish messianic prophecy, not the founder of a separate religion that wiped out all their customs and eliminated their Jewish identity. Of course, for Gentiles like myself, that *did* mean a new religion that we call Christianity. But even then, the direction of the Apostles was not to ostracize and hate Jews. In fact, we see the opposite in Acts, with the Council of Jerusalem asking the Gentile believers to keep four Mosaic laws in order to maintain unity and avoid offense. The posture was one of love and compassion toward one another, not the open hatred we are seeing today. That's not Christ-like. It's not Biblical. It's also counterproductive to the spread of the Gospel in that it puts up walls, contrary to Paul's urgings in Romans and 1st Corinthians. And frankly, I'm a little tired of relatively new Christians fishing for online clout and engagement by pretending to be theologians on this matter. They do not speak for Christianity, actual Catholicism, or anything else but their own self-aggrandizement.

@JBlunt1018 Well, if hiring the “right” persons means letting go veterans to replace them with H1Bs that’s your call and it’s mine to cancel our policies.

Building something of value is fucking hard. Generating revenue? HARDER. Turning a profit? Even HARDER. And after all that, you still have to deal with some nut jobs telling you who’s the “right” person for your company? That makes me fucking mad. It’s my company. I’ll hire who’s best for the business.

@podkumne Ok, you got me Jakub.

Ok, then your heterosexual female friends are hanging out with the wrong dudes.

@podkumne That would apply to any group of people, anywhere, including women. I’m glad I don’t live my life applying what I see on the internet to everyone I meet. Sounds miserable and toxic.

@EMichaelJones1 Pope decides US policy? Hmmmm…

He's only doing what the pope told Catholics to do. Catholics cannot in good conscience participate in an unjust war.

@bonchieredstate My football coach in HS would say this before a game.

This may be the dumbest controversy I’ve ever seen.

I’ve resigned three times. I left because I was unhappy or had a better opportunity. My letters of resignation were professional, polite, and short. And my manager wasn’t POTUS. I see all of you out here fighting over, Iran, Israel, antisemitism (real or perceived), served and didn’t serve, at like a level 10. You weren’t doing this yesterday. You’re doing today because a guy chose to air his grievances in his resignation letter and post it for all to see, at a time when we’re already on edge. That’s bush league politics. That’s not America first. That’s a selfish move. If you’re mad, be mad at the children currently representing us and running our country. Don’t let them divide us. We’re better than that. We’re better than them. 🫡🇺🇸

@bonchieredstate Only thing missing is a “Christ is King” at the end.

"Devout Catholic"

@GBNT1952 I’m supposed to believe a Marine, who either volunteered during or just after the GWOT, is shocked and dismayed he may face combat in the ME? 😂

If he wanted “nothing to do with this war,” he shouldn’t have volunteered to serve in our military… no one forced him to sign on that dotted line. That was completely his choice. This isn’t a hard concept. This type of nonsense propaganda has been going on for a long time.

@manhattanmaker Can confirm

Guys, I seriously think we could just walk in and take Canada. Damn these guys are weak.

@OrbitStudios I see Canada is still very sad, oh well.

Americans are just so desperate to feel good about themselves right now.

@DefiantLs He’s right

Ted Cruz: “Christ is King” is "I hate you Jew" He says the phrase it’s being used online in an antisemitic way.

@BuckSexton Cool World

@KarenGeorgeBSRN @NiohBerg @TCNetwork It’s ok, we are going to divert all the Democrat fraud to cover the costs.

@NiohBerg @TCNetwork The "black out" dimwit is likely to protect the people due to military operations- Social media does no-t take precedence over military action costing my nation over 1 billion a day not to mention the Middle Eastern Countries being targeted- STFU

Killing the Ayatollah unified the people of Iran against America and Israel. How is that good for the US?

@EvansRyan202 @DataRepublican Just delete your account, bro.

Hello. There's no evidence of an actual doxxing, Grok bot has stated no violation of Twitter TOS, but you have started a mass witch hunt. This seems to be a violation of your own state's (Utah) electronic communications harassment laws. We've blocked you, making it clear we don't want to hear from you, yet you persist and make threats to do more, even threatening to start harassing War on the Rocks staff. On behalf of myself and War on the Rocks, I formally demand that you cease and desist. Do not contact me, War on the Rocks or any War on the Rocks employee. This includes direct messages, replies, mentions, tagging, or any other electronic communication directed at us, and includes reposting, quoting, or amplifying statements about us in a manner intended to harass, intimidate, or encourage others to target us.

There’s nothing like getting kicked when you’re down. I have even more respect for @CynicalPublius now than I did before. I know what it’s like to have a death in the family and then try to juggle everything that comes with that, your passion for the truth and your social media. I still haven’t made it to the other side and my loss was months ago. I also didn’t have to deal with doxxing. It takes a lot to stand up for what’s right, even more to stand up while receiving threats, even more while being doxxed and even more to do all of that while dealing with a death in your family. I am praying for cynical and every other person that uses their voice to stand up for what is right. Praying for strength, protection and for good to prevail. We can’t stop. We can’t be threatened into silence and we have to keep pressing forward. The more angry the evil gets, the more they threaten, the more they doxx, the more we know we’re doing the right thing and we have to keep doing it. Don’t Quit.

@rws1st @thealepalombo K

@thealepalombo "nobody ever talks about?" Not even the people living in the cities? That seems super unlikely. How do you know what everyone else is talking about??

I'm Italian. I just got back from Rome. Over dinner, old friends and I started arguing about the same thing we always argue about: which cities in Italy are genuinely incredible but nobody ever talks about? We went back and forth for hours. By the end of the night, we had a list. 7 hidden cities that most people, including most Italians, will never think to visit, let alone move to. No crowds. No tourist markup. Insane quality of life. Thread 🧵

@DENAirport You need to tell your Democrat Union Rep to tell your Democrat Union to tell your Democrat Mayor to tell your Democrat Governor to tell your Democrat Congressman to tell your Democrat Senator to end the shutdown.
