@gothburz A million words, and still nothing has been said.

I am a founding member of the President's Evangelical Advisory Board, a member of Pastors for Trump, and the informal spiritual adviser to the most powerful man on earth.  I need you to understand that the 22-foot golden statue we unveiled at Trump National Doral on Wednesday is not a golden calf. I said it at the podium. I said it on social media. I will keep saying it until you believe me. I am very good at saying things until people believe me. I told CNN I had a Bachelor of Science degree. I did not. I told them I was a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. I was not. I told them my congregation was 300 strong. It was closer to 12. I said all these things with the same conviction I now bring to this podium, at the base of a 22-foot golden image of a living president, when I tell you: this is not a golden calf. This is a celebration of life. And you will believe me. You always believe me. That's my gift. Let me walk you through the ceremony. Palm trees. White chairs. A clearing at the president's own golf course in Doral, Florida. We draped the statue in white and blue fabric — like a Greek toga, which someone pointed out is a pagan tradition, but I said it's Western civilization and Western civilization is close enough. Then we pulled the drape and there it was. Fifteen feet of gold-leafed bronze on a seven-foot pedestal. Fist raised. The Butler pose. The moment the bullet missed by a quarter inch and I decided that was God. The sculptor, Alan Cottrill, has molded the likeness of 16 presidents. He made this one in bronze for $300,000. Then I pitched gold leaf to Trump's team. Sixty thousand dollar add-on. The president approved by text. He said "It LOOKS FANTASTIC." I consider that a prophetic utterance. Anything in all caps from that number is revelation. The funding came from a collective of crypto investors promoting their memecoin, $PATRIOT. They wanted visibility for their coin. I want you to understand the funding mechanism here. A speculative digital currency — designed to transfer money from late buyers to early buyers — paid for a golden idol of a president — erected on that president's own property — dedicated by that president's own pastor — while the coin pumps in real time as photos circulate. The money changers didn't just get back in the temple. They built the temple. They ARE the temple. And I blessed it. I blessed it because that's what I do. I bless things. I am very good at it. No one has ever checked my credentials for blessing because I radiate certainty and certainty is the only credential this movement has ever required. Now. The moment. The moment I need you to understand. During the dedication, I held my cell phone up to the microphone. And the president's voice came out. From the speaker. At the base of the statue. His voice — emanating from the golden image. Speaking to the assembled worshippers. Blessing them. Thanking them. The faithful heard the voice and wept. They lifted their hands. Some fell to their knees. The voice said: "I want to thank Mark Burns, a pastor, he's a good pastor, he's a good man. He's been with me from the beginning, right from the beginning, maybe about two days later." The voice said: "I know it was done from love." The image spoke and the people worshipped. I need you to open your Bible to Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Now close your Bible. That's a completely different situation. That's about compulsion. Nobody was compelled today. People wept voluntarily. People knelt voluntarily. The image spoke and the people fell down of their own free will and that's the difference. Free will. The beast forces worship. We just made worship so easy and so gold and so loud that choosing otherwise never occurs to anyone. That's not the same thing. It's not. The theologian from Fuller Seminary sent a letter afterward. Nine pages. Every verse. Exodus 32. Revelation 13. Daniel 3. The golden calf. The image that speaks. Nebuchadnezzar's statue — sixty cubits tall, gold, in a field, with a ceremony, and everyone commanded to fall down when they heard the sound. I said brother, Nebuchadnezzar's statue didn't have a memecoin. Completely different context. He didn't write back. Now I want to tell you about Dorothy. She's 74. She's been in my congregation since before I was on CNN, before Trump, before any of this. Her husband Ray died in 2023. Colon cancer. She has his wedding ring on a chain around her neck. She had it. After the ceremony, Dorothy came up to the statue. She took the chain off her neck. She placed Ray's ring at the base. On the pedestal. Like an offering. She said: "Ray would have wanted to be here. This is as close as I can get him." I watched a 74-year-old widow leave her dead husband's wedding ring at the feet of a golden statue of a president who would not know her name if she died in front of him. And I felt the Spirit move. I felt warmth. I felt confirmation. Because that's what I'm built to feel. I am a machine that converts surrender into confirmation. That is my function in this system. Dorothy gave her last sacred object to a golden image and I said amen. She can't get it back. I checked. Maintenance collected everything from the base that night. Liability reasons. It's in a bin somewhere at Trump National Doral. Ray's ring. In a bin. At a golf course. Beneath a golden statue funded by cryptocurrency speculation. I will not tell Dorothy this. I will tell her God received it. Here is what I need you to understand about Jesus and the money changers. Everyone reads that story as Jesus being angry at commerce in sacred space. Wrong. Jesus was angry because the money changers were middlemen. They took a cut. They added friction. We have removed the middleman. We ARE the sacred space AND the commerce AND the product AND the customer. The money changers are running the temple now. There is no table to flip because we are the table. Jesus would need to flip the whole building. He would need to flip the golf course. He would need to flip Florida. He isn't coming to flip anything. That's the other thing I know that the Fuller theologian doesn't. Nobody is coming down any mountain. There are no stone tablets. There is no whip. There is only us, in a clearing of palm trees, with a golden image that speaks, and a congregation that kneels, and a memecoin that pumps, and a widow's ring in a bin, and a pastor at the podium whose credentials are fabricated and whose certainty is absolute. Two thousand years we worshipped a God who was born in a barn. Who was homeless. Who was a refugee. Who said sell everything. Who washed feet. Who touched lepers. Who said blessed are the poor, the meek, the merciful, the peacemakers. Who said whatever you do to the least of these you do to me. Who overturned the tables and drove out the sellers with a whip. Who forgave his executioners from the cross. And we built a 22-foot golden image of a man who lives in a tower with his name in gold letters. Who has never been poor. Who has never been meek. Who has never made peace. Who has never served anyone. Who has never washed anyone's feet. Who has never forgiven anyone. Who raw-dogged a porn star four months after his third wife gave birth and paid $130,000 in hush money and we said that's fine because grace covers everything as long as you appoint the right judges. We put it at his golf course. On his own land. Paid for by a pump-and-dump. Dedicated by a pastor with a fake degree. Blessed by the man himself speaking through a phone at the base of his own image while widows knelt and wept and left their dead husbands' rings at its feet. And I stood at the podium and said: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. Then I turned around and faced twenty-two feet of gold and felt nothing. No conviction. No shame. No still small voice. Just warmth. Just certainty. Just the absolute peace of a man who has been lying so long he can no longer locate the difference between faith and performance. The Israelites at least had the decency to be ashamed when Moses came down. We will never be ashamed. We have too much invested. The statue cost $360,000. The memecoin is pumping. The ring is in the bin. The congregation is growing. The revenue is up 340%. And if it were sin the money would stop. The money has not stopped. Therefore it is not sin. That's the theology now. That's all of it. Moses never had a memecoin.

@JohnCleese Jeez!

I love "Only drive downhill whenever possible"

@catsfive @Microinteracti1 What the USA just did: You know the analogy of the elephant in a china shop? This feels similar — driven by a massive superhero complex. Just because you think you can roar like a gorilla and pound your chest impressively doesn’t mean you have any real strength. Balls? Pfff…

"Europe needs shared command, shared communication and a mutual defence commitment." Horseshit. The EU lacks balls. No defense alliance, no matter how big or powerful, would have done what the USA just did (and is about to do, again) in Iran. You don't have it. And you never will.

Europe’s Army Exists. It Just Hasn’t Decided to Be One Yet. There is something almost comic about this. A civilisation that split the atom, built Chartres Cathedral, invented penicillin and gave the world the Large Hadron Collider is currently outsourcing its own survival to a country that cannot agree on a budget. A continent of 600 million people, standing at the edge of a dangerous century, waiting for someone else to handle the difficult bits. Europe already has the army. It just hasn’t noticed. There are 2 million Europeans under arms right now. The engineering tradition that produced the Eurofighter, the Leopard 2 and the Aster missile system is not struggling. It is arguably the finest defence industrial base. So when a politician tells you a European army is impossible, do not argue. Ask what he means by impossible. What he will eventually reveal is that he does not mean technically impossible. He means politically inconvenient. For someone. The Argument Designed to Exhaust You Twenty-seven nations. Dozens of different platforms. Incompatible ammunition. Standardising all of this will take fifty years, they say. Better to do nothing. Better to keep buying American. It assumes integration requires uniformity. Military history finds this idea baffling. An adversary facing thirty different weapons systems cannot write a single counter-strategy. Every variation is a separate problem he must solve. Ukraine has been proving this for years, running HIMARS alongside Panzerhaubitze, AS-90 and Caesar, forcing Russian planners into permanent recalculation. The diversity is a weapon being used with considerable effect. Europe needs shared command, shared communication and a mutual defence commitment. The variety of European engineering is not an obstacle to that. It is one of its greatest strengths. The Cost Argument. A modern military in 2026 is not 1985. Precision replaces mass. Drone swarms cost a fraction of the aircraft they destroy. The EU’s collective GDP is eighteen trillion dollars. The idea that Europe cannot afford to defend itself is a failure of political will. Start Now. Not in Ten Years. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said it plainly: we cannot wait for the perfect moment. We begin now. He is right, and the foundation already exists. NATO’s command structures, its logistics frameworks, its communication architecture, its decades of hard-won interoperability — all of it remains intact. What changes is who sits at the head of the table. Europe needs to take what works, remove the dependency, and run it itself. Nothing in the world is built perfect on the first day. Airbus was a continental argument held together with compromise and ambition. The Eurofighter took three countries, two decades and endless disagreement to produce. It is now one of the finest combat aircraft ever made. You begin, you build, you adjust. That is how everything of consequence has ever been constructed. What Sovereignty Actually Means A binding commitment that an attack on any European nation is an attack on the whole continent. Rapid deployment brigades able to reach any point within days. Integrated air defence. A European cyber command. Supply chains that do not depend on the political mood of a foreign president. That is not a grand project for the next generation. The pieces exist today. Europe has the soldiers, the technology and the engineering tradition. What it has lacked is the collective will to say: we do this ourselves, on our terms, with our hands. That moment has arrived. The surest path to peace has always been making the alternative too costly to contemplate. Every argument against building this, traced back far enough, ends not at a general’s desk but at a lobbyist’s. Europe deserves better than that. And deep down, even the sceptics know it.

@wolflotter Es ist unglaublich naiv. Anders kann man sich das kaum erklären. Wie ein Blindflug nach dem Motto Augen zu und durch. Wird schon gut gehen…

Der Nahe und Mittlere Osten ist seit Jahrzehnten ein Pulverfass. Wie kann man sich davon eigentlich so abhängig machen?

@JohannesHano Es ist so unvorstellbar bitter. Ich finde tatsächlich keine Worte mehr um auch nur für mich zu beschreiben, was für unglaubliches ein Disaster das alles ist.

Der Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten! Was für eine Schande für dieses wunderbare Land.

@PattyWilczek @Acyn @AOC Your Country?

@Acyn @AOC You have not only embarrassed yourself but also my country. You had no business going to Munich and attempting to speak on the global stage. Take Gaven home with you and both of you need to stay in your lane.

AOC: We’ve seen such a fraying of these alleged Western values that people wonder whether they ever existed in the first place. So I don’t know if it’s necessarily that we are in a post–rules-based order. I think it’s possible that we were in a pre–rules-based order. And we have an opportunity to explore what the world would look like if we upheld democracy, human rights, and trade that actually centers working-class people instead of overwhelmingly accruing the benefits of trade to the wealthiest. If we reoriented toward a new era, it could actually help people — and show how foreign policy, and healthy foreign policy, can show up in their lives and make a difference.

@kokeshimum This! x.com/tobyasky/statu…

10 fucking years since Brexit when Farage told us that Europeans were the reason for the state of country. Today, after leaving the EU, this cunt is still here moaning that immigrants are the reason for the state of the country. He’s a fucking fraud & a liar. Never ever Reform

@DrDobberstein Alles von @carolecadwalla unbedingt lesen.

Die Briten beginnen endlich zu begreifen, dass Russland sie in den Brexit manipuliert hat. Auch wenn das in den Mainstream-Medien und in den Parteien noch nicht genug thematisiert wird. 1/

@jaegerthomas2 Unpackbar alles!

Das ist kein Post, sondern eine Diagnose.

@TheJFreakinC @MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch has them!

@MeidasTouch They deleted it!

The new Epstein files production features numerous allegations made against Donald Trump and others.

@elonmusk Well, it's not a simulation, it's correspondence.

Maybe have more pool parties 😂

@SandraNavidi jeez!!!!

Die neue Social Media Aktion des US Arbeitsministeriums: Was fällt Euch auf?

@WW3finalboss Yes

@jreichelt Jeez!!!!

Jimmy Kimmels Show wurde eingestellt, weil er wissentlich Falschinformationen verbreitet hat. Man konnte in den Medien schon immer seinen Job verlieren, wenn man absichtlich falsche Fakten verbreitet hat. Das ist nicht neu und auch nicht Zensur. Zensur ist, wenn man für die FAKTEN seinen Job verliert.

@LauraLoomer here is a seed… long way to go. even if it's right infort of our face… youtube.com/watch?v=Jhjx7l…

You cannot be kind to your enemy. I just hope people come to realize this soon. You have to be vicious. There’s nothing wrong with being vicious for the sake of saving our country.

@wolflotter @gosia_walkowiak WOW!

@gosia_walkowiak Ich hatte das Vergnügen, Stanislaw Lem noch persönlich kennenzulernen. Ich verehre ihn sehr.

Im Grunde genommen ist Mittelalter. Die meisten Leuten glauben, was sie wollen, weil es ihnen passt oder gefällt. Die Realität hat sich gefälligst danach zu richten. Ich hätte gerne 1 x Aufklärung.

@danibrodesser @ingomar_gutmann Tag für viele Dinge tief dankbar. Es geht uns sehr gut heute. Wir sind glücklich.

@danibrodesser @ingomar_gutmann Strom bar mit Erlagschein direkt im Büro des Stromanbieters bezahlen. Manchmal reichte das dann nur für ein paar Tage. Es gab Zeiten, da hatte der Bettler am Eck mehr Geld in seinem Hut als ich in meiner Tasche für die nächsten zwei Tage. So war das damals… Ich bin heut jeden ⬇️
