Big Bussy Executive Action

When Mamdani says he is committed to protecting “Jewish Americans” and “Jewish New Yorkers,” it’s hard to ignore the strong ideological signal being broadcast. American Jews refer to themselves as “American Jews” just like British Jews, Russian Jews and French Jews refer to themselves as such. We do that because we’re a people not just a faith or ethnic group. Mamdani knows it. He avoids saying “American Jews” because to do would be to acknowledge Jewish peoplehood which undermines his anti-Zionist belief system. Mamdani’s worldview can comfortably accommodate different faiths and ethnicities, but cannot tolerate Jewish peoplehood.

American narcissism cant handle people not liking america for its actions

Wanna know one of the best things about Mr. Rogers growing up? I never knew anything about his political opinions. He just entertained kids. That's it.

In response to the statement of non-evangelical churches in Israel, I issued the following. I hope you will read prayerfully. I love my brothers and sisters in Christ from traditional, liturgical churches and respect their views, but I do not feel any sect of the Christian faith should claim exclusivity in speaking for Christians worldwide or assume there is only one viewpoint regarding faith in the Holy Land.  Personally I’m part of a global and growing evangelical tradition that believes the authority of Scripture and the faithfulness of God in keeping His covenants.  That includes His covenant with Abraham and the Jewish people.  My Christian faith is built on the foundation of Judaism and without it, Christianity would not exist.  Without the Judeo-Christian worldview, there would be no Western Civilization, and without Western Civilization, there would be no America.  The thought that God is even capable of breaking a covenant is anathema to those of us who embrace Holy Scripture as the authority of the church.  If God can or would break His covenant with the Jews, then what hope would Christians have that He would keep His covenant with us? Labels such as “Christian Zionism” are too often used in a pejorative manner to disparage free-church believers, of which there are millions across the planet.  Christians are followers of Christ and a Zionist simply accepts that the Jewish people have a right to live in their ancient, indigenous, and Biblical homeland.  It’s hard for me to understand why every one who takes on the moniker “Christian” would not also be a Zionist.  It’s not a commitment to a particular government or government policy, but to the Biblical revelation as given to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  In my faith, there is certainly room for those who “butter their bread” differently than me, and I would hope that there would be room in the hearts of other church bodies for me.  We need to unite in those truths that should be agreed upon, such as the sanctity of life, the sacred act of marriage, the autonomy of the individual, the desire to lift up every human and alleviate human suffering, and the belief that grace is God’s gift to us all. Please share with others and "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!"

Let’s focus on preventing Trump from forcibly acquire Greenland, with all the global damage it will cause. But let’s also be clear that if he succeeds, the position of a Democratic administration in 2029 will be to return it to Denmark. And our Danish friends should know that.

I hate it when instead of being asked about "substance" I get asked about trivial matters like my ideology, my approach, and my world view

In Kamchatka, Russia, it snowed so much that dudes are jumping out of buildings without injuring themselves.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 Most of the US military facilities mentioned either primarily exist to defend European countries and/or are substitutable with new bases elsewhere, such as Morocco, for example. The main exception is Lajes in the Azores. Should Trump force their hand, European countries may well very reluctantly fold, given how there is no short-term alternative security architecture for Europe and how even an unreliable ally that has aggrandized Greenland is still better than no ally. Stated differently, Europe will be worse off without the world's most powerful country backstopping its security, even if only in the interim, while Europe works to fully wean itself off American military power once and for all.
