I could use some help... I came back to church after years away and I'm still figuring a lot of it out... but what is going on with the "Christian Leftists"???? These are people who know Scripture better than I do... but the SAME PEOPLE turn around and tell me a kid in elementary school can know 100% that they were born in the wrong body. That puberty blockers are healthcare. That get flustered and extremely angry at any reasonable question I throw at them about it. That actually to question any of it is a form of sin in someway? These people will literally say the church is too White. As if whiteness itself is a big problem or a sin and that we need to repent of being white, and fix it in a room full of people who showed up to worship Jesus. Can someone explain this to me? How on earth does this make any sense from someone who is supposed to be a Christian? How did these Christians get to this place? How did a faith built on the goodness of creation, the dignity of the body, the truth that every person bears the image of God regardless of skin, end up getting SO sucked into these Leftist slogans? What I notice is that every position the Christian left holds happens to track PERFECTLY aligns with the cultural arguments of the Leftist political movement. Every single one. Trans kids. Race. Sexuality. Borders. Guns. Climate. And they'll use the Bible, in genuinely bizarre fashion and slogans to uphold these political beliefs. Like "love thy neighbor" for example, to say that illegal immigrants didn't do anything wrong. "The least of these" somehow means trans kids or something? "Turn the other cheek" somehow means that criminals should never be held accountable for crimes. It seems, and I could be wrong, that a LOT of Christians are using politics to shape their faith. Not the other way around Maybe I'm missing something. I'm willing to be wrong. But from where I'm sitting it looks FAR LESS like Christians are wrestling with hard questions and more like a version of Christianity that has agreed to push forward every argument the culture wants it to... What's going on with the Christian church??????

Deciding when to have a family is a deeply personal decision, and that decision is between a woman and her doctor. Mifepristone has been approved by the FDA, and its safety has been established for decades, including when it is prescribed and dispensed using telehealth and the mail. This decision will make it harder for women to access the reproductive health care they need.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court has blocked mailing prescriptions to mifepristone, restricting access to one of the most common means of abortion. apnews.com/article/aborti…

I am standing in full solidarity with the thousands of NC teachers marching for fair pay and proper school funding. Some facts: - NC is 50th in public school funding - NC is 46th in teacher pay - Wake County faces $16M in cuts this year Today, our educators are putting everything on the line to ensure every student gets the resources they deserve.

A TWENTY FIVE PERCENT RAISE FOR EVERY TEACHER. LUNACY! Never ever in the history of corporate America have I seen 25% raises for a group-unless it was a promotion or a reclassification because the work is more sophisticated than the Haye System title. Thats not the case here. That is not sustainable or reasonable. There's no suggestions for how to fix it, just demands. There's no compromise on performance based merit. This isn't a hostage situation. Remove your kids from public schools.
Donald Bryson@donaldbryson

Today’s NCAE “Kids Over Corporations” rally in Raleigh isn’t about kids. It’s a partisan wishlist disguised as education reform. The demands? A 25% across-the-board pay hike, $20k per-pupil spending (highest in the Southeast), end corporate tax breaks + vouchers, and “fair maps” + collective bargaining. Here’s why it misses the mark on actual student outcomes: • Vouchers aren’t “corporate tax breaks.” They’re separate, but the NCAE has them listed together. And 83% of 203 national studies show they help achievement, parent satisfaction, and even public schools via competition. Iowa & Arkansas kids on ESAs are outperforming public school peers on state tests. Why eliminate what works? • $20k per pupil by 2030 is arbitrary. NC already spends ~$12-13k per student. Decades of research show that throwing more money at the system without structural change delivers weak or zero gains in test scores or graduation. It’s a spending target, not an outcomes plan. • Raising corporate taxes hurts the families they claim to help. Rigorous studies show workers bear ~50%+ of the burden through lower wages. Every $1 in extra corporate tax revenue costs families real income. Not “redirecting” — it’s regressive. • Redistricting & “reclaim our democracy”? Pure politics. NCAE/NEA endorses almost exclusively one party. Redistricting debates have zero direct link to classroom results. Real reforms that move the needle? Performance pay, targeted stipends for in-field master’s degrees (especially STEM/special ed), and more local flexibility. Those have the causal evidence behind them. This rally closed schools for hundreds of thousands of kids to push a partisan agenda. Priorities? #nced #ncpol #SchoolChoice #RealReformNotPolitics #StudentAchievement

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense. The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968. Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x. Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

This interview with Ben Sasse is outstanding. Scott Pelley asks him about reformed theology and the belief that God ordains everything. Sasse responds: “I hate cancer. But I'm also grateful for it, I tell a lot more truth to myself than I used to do it when I thought I was super omni-competent and interesting.”

First Lady Melania Trump
Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.
