Eddie Murphy has a Point, he says Black people and White People are different in this regard! 🤣😂

@mazemoore To the left, insults are violence. Leftists aren’t rational people

There seems to be some confusion between insults/ridicule and incitement of violence. Here's a little rhetorical quiz for those who are confused. Perhaps it will help. Trump posts that Rob Reiner was crazy and had TDS after Reiner's death. Who did that incite violence towards? Gavin Newsom claims that Trump is disappearing American citizens never to be seen again and that Black and Brown people are specifically being targeted and should be afraid. Newsom repeatedly claims that America will not have an election in 2028 and that Trump will use the National Guard to arrest people who try to vote. Who might that incite violence towards? Trump posts a warning to Iran that an entire civilization may die. Which person did that incite violence towards? Ted Lieu, without evidence, claims that Trump is guilty of raping and killing children. The entire Democrat party spends a year claiming without evidence that Trump is a pedophile. Who does that incite violence towards? Trump posts a meme of Adam Schiff with a long neck and calls him a watermelon head. Does that incite violence towards someone? Adam Schiff spends three years falsely accusing the President of being a traitor and working for Russia. He claims that the President is illegitimate and should not be in office. Does that incite violence towards anyone? What happens if someone believes Schiff's lies? Tim Walz claims that Trump is disappearing people, having American citizens grabbed and sent to torture dungeons, never to be seen again. He warns people that anybody could be next and urges people to fight. Who does that incite violence towards? Trump posts a meme with a clip of Obama as a gorilla. Who does that incite violence towards? Were people angry at Obama for being portrayed as a gorilla or were they angry at Trump for posting it? Biden spends five years calling Trump an existential threat to the world and says that democracy can never survive if Trump gets back in office. He gives multiple prime time speeches as President calling Trump and his supporters a threat to democracy. Does that incite violence towards someone or some group? Trump calls someone garbage. Biden says that Trump supporters are garbage almost immediately after an attempt on Trump's life. Do either of those incite violence? Chris Murphy says that we are at war (with MAGA and the right) and that people need to do whatever it takes to win the war. Who might that incite violence towards? Trump posts that he's glad that Robert Mueller died. Who does that incite violence towards? Do people want to kill Mueller's dead body after reading that? James Comey posts "8647." Might that incite violence towards someone? Trump posts a meme of Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero. Who does that incite violence towards? Do the people who are angry about that meme want to hurt Jeffries? Hakeem Jeffries repeatedly says that the biggest threat America faces is MAGA Republicans. Who does that incite violence towards? Trump says "there are very fine people on both sides, but I'm not talking about the neo-nazis and white supremacists, they should be condemned totally." Who does that incite violence towards? The entire Democrat party and virtually the entire MSM spend years claiming that Trump said that nazis and white supremacists are very fine people. Who does that incite violence towards? Trump ridicules Rosie O'Donnell. Did that incite violence towards O'Donnell? A journalist reads on national TV from a manifesto of a deranged would be assassin who wrote that he was angry with pedophiles and then asks the same President who was the target of said assassin if the manifesto was about him? Who would that, if anyone, incite violence towards? Trump tells the journalist who just read the manifesto accusing him of being a pedophile that she should be ashamed of herself. Who does that incite violence towards? AOC says that the country has become nazi Germany, compares Trump to Hitler, and claims that Trump is putting people in concentration camps. Who would that incite violence towards? I could go on and on. Maybe these questions will clear things up a bit for those who do not understand the difference between insults and incitement of violence.

@tylerblack32 @grok You’re purposely conflating threats with actual assassination attempts. 25 round fired at the White House but Obama wasn’t even there. Come on

Hey @grok , the MAGAs are very hurt and crying about my post. Is it accurate?

Obama: 11, including a guy who fired 25 rifle rounds at the White House. Biden: 5, including one arrested 4 miles from his house with an AR-15 and a checklist ending "execute." Harris: 2 federal prosecutions. Clinton: a pipe bomb intercepted at her home and a militia.

@DavidAFrench Hegsath has eliminated bad ideologies in the military returning it to a real fighting unit. Recruiting is at an all time high. What’s the problem?

I question the GOP senators who had any confidence in Hegseth to begin with.

@Brcremer Hey “Rev”, now do the names the left has called Trump and other conservatives. You’re a political hack with no interest in spreading the Gospel.

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

@Brcremer 😂

Christians should be the loudest voices advocating confronting climate change, not its biggest deniers. If we truly believe that God created all things, called it good, and called us to be stewards, then acknowledging and confronting climate change is the only faithful response.

@Brcremer A Rev Should know scripture better. “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 ESV bible.com/bible/59/rom.1…

No amount of reading the Bible publicly can compensate for a heart that is committed to hate.

@DavidLimbaugh David, how can a people or nation (Israel) that doesn’t accept Christ be God’s chosen people? Yes, the Jewish people are the vine and the Gentiles the branches, but both must be rooted in Christ Jesus or they will wither away. The Church is God’s chosen people.

The following comment is not intended to cause further strife between evangelicals and Catholics, but the opposite: I think there's been an effort to smear Israel-supporting evangelicals by flippantly calling them "Dispensationalists," meaning, essentially, that they are knuckle-dragging heretics. Certain people use the label pejoratively to suggest that we Israel-supporting evangelicals are Dispensationalists who want to hasten the End Times and so are willing to support policies aimed at doing so, even if against the interests of the US. A couple of points on that. Not all people who believe that the Abrahamic Covenant land promise was Israel-specific and is eternal (and still in force) are Dispensationalists. I, for one, firmly believe the land promise portion of the Abrahamic Covenant is Israel specific and still in force. But I don't consider myself a Dispensaitonalist, which involves more issues. In fact, the late, revered John MacArthur was not a dispensationalist but did believe the land promise is to Israel specifically and for that purpose the church did not replace Israel. If I remember correctly, he said that sound, intellectually honest exegesis doesn't lead to that conclusion. But a more important point is this: I would wager that the overwhelming majority of Bible-believing evangelicals do not believe we should try to pro-actively hasten the End Times. We are not to know the time of the Great Tribulation, etc. We are not to concern ourselves with the "when." Because we believe in God's sovereignty (which is not incompatible with free will, in my opinion) and because we believe it is not for us to know when the End Times will occur, we should definitely not proactively try to usher it in. I am sure there are some who believe we should but I would think they are quite on the fringe. I admit that I support Israel for theological reasons. I believe God's Covenant with Israel as to the land is permanent and I believe He meant what He said that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. I also support Israel as a strong ally for a host of other reasons. My theological support for Israel does not mean I would subordinate the interests of the US to those of Israel and it does not exempt Israel or immunize it from criticism. I also don't expect others to share my belief or support Israel because of my theological beliefs about it. But I have a right to allow my theological beliefs and my overall Christian worldview to inform my policy positions, just like everyone has a right to do the same with their own worldview. So please don't fall for the notion that all evangelical supporters of Israel are Dispensationlists and especially that they want to hasten the End Times. None in my orbit want to do that. They may say, "I hope Jesus returns soon," but they don't go further and say, "So let's do everything we can to facilitate that." That would be such a presumptuous and biblically disobedient posture. I think history and scripture support my view that Israel is the apple of God's eye. As I and others have written, no nation in history has been dispersed for more than 5 or so generations and retained its ethnic identity and language, but Israel did. It not only retained it but in 1948, some 1900 years after it was routed by Rome in 70 AD it came back, miraculously, to the land. God had his hand in that. Then Israel, against all odds, won two wars against multiple surrounding nations committed to its destruction and extinction. We can go on and on-looking at the amazing things the Jewish people have done in that little nation and how advanced they are -- and how sophisticated they are and how amazing their intelligence and military forces are -- consider the beepers (otherworldly). Their success has by no means been all because the US has supported her, though our support has been very important. So, bottom line, believe what you want about Israel. Believe the church replaced Israel for all purposes, but I don't. I believe the Bible is clear that when God promised Abraham He would bless all nations through him he meant Jews and Gentiles alike and he was referring to the Gospel -- way back in Genesis. So yes, certain promises in the Abrahamic Covenant do extend to Gentiles. But not the land promise. And from a Christian standpoint (again in my view, because by no means do I speak for all evangelicals) God isn't done with the Jewish people in any way. Read Romans 11. They are the vine and we are the branches grafted in. You can believe if you wish that we Israel-supporting evangelicals are all sitting around reading the Scofield Bible. I've never read it. Don't let the trouble-makers scare you into thinking Israel-supporting evangelicals are up to no good and would ever subordinate the interests of the US for Israel. Don't believe they would hasten the End Times. The trouble-makers just want to make you think we're crazy and reckless to further alienate us against Israel, and to divide us for other reasons. Not true. Do with this what you will, but I'm trying to lay this out as honestly as I can. The entire field of dispensationalism is more complex and I see no reason to go into that, especially since I don't consider myself one. Thank me for my attention to these matters.

"Liberals try to show their concern for the poor by raising the level of minimum wage laws. Yet they show no interest in hard evidence that minimum wage laws create disastrous levels of unemployment among young blacks in this country." — Thomas Sowell

Today in 1985, Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns showed up for war. If you say you’ve seen a better 1st round, I know you’re lying. Perhaps the best display of highly skilled violence you’ll ever see. Ding ding. 🍿

@OleTimeHardball 💯

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case for Curt Schilling. Does he get in?

he was onto something

@jblairsanders But…sadly true. It’s the #1 reason

Moving forward, I need to institute a rule on my posts that if you have a problem with Christians voting Democrat, you have to express it without jumping to "baby murder" or "child mutilation" rhetoric. It's lazy and unpersuasive.

You may be cool, but you’ll never be “Bob Gibson in a suit leaning on the Corvette Stingray he took home for being named MVP of the 1964 World Series” cool.

@fire_starter457 Do you know what LGBTQ, Athiests, Christians and everybody else have in common? We’re all sinners in need of a Savior. Follow Him and leave your sins at the foot of the cross! Happy Easter!

Dear Christians, Jesus didn’t warn us about LGBTQ people or atheists. He warned us about religious people who love power more than the truth. I hope this rings a bell.

Chuck Swindoll preaching powerfully on the only way we can find hope in death: “But Job. What a man. I just read again his words. Listen to them: ‘I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last He shall stand on this earth, and though after worms destroy this body, in my flesh, shall I see God.’ What a great, great statement. He believed he would be raised whole and complete because of his Redeemer. Interesting word—Redeemer. It’s from the Hebrew goel. It means ‘defender.’ Don’t you love that? I know that my Defender lives. You see, at death, we don’t need a priest, a preacher. We don’t need an attorney or physician, a warrior heavily armed. Does us no good. We need a Defender, someone to acquit us before a holy God because even as Job may have been a fine man, he was not sinless. Nor is any one of us. And knowing that we are sinful, how can we stand before a holy God when we are raised? We must have a Defender. One who paid a price for us on a cross… Death will not win. Death has no sting. The grave has no victory when you have a Defender…”

One bracelet reads, “Philippians 4:13, His other bracelet has “Matthew 28:20” on it. JJ Wetherholt looks at both for comfort, recites the verse, and then goes and takes his at-bat, settled by both scripture and situation. More from #stlcards rookie: stltoday.com/sports/profess…

'Pistol Pete' Maravich sharing his testimony of faith in Jesus Christ in 1987 less than one year before his death at the age of 40: "I want all of you to know this tonight about Peter Maravich. You may never have heard of me. It makes no difference. I'm just one person on this earth saved by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. I want you to know this, that the change that came into my life was Jesus Christ. It was not winning. I won all my life. I won every trophy, award, everything you can think of, but every time I won something, I wanted something more. I had to win again. It wasn't money, because money'll buy you everything but happiness. It'll pay your fare at every place but Heaven. Material things—I've driven everything some of you strive for from Rolls Royces to BMWs to Mercedes to Porsches. It wasn't religion because in the name of religion, Jesus Christ was placed upon that cross. And the purest thing about Christianity is the fact that it's your choice. You can't work. You can't earn. I knew that, and I understood it now. I want you to know this. The last thing I'd like to say is this, next week I'll be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I'll get that big ring. In fact, it's a bigger ring than I would have got for the championship, but I'll tell you something about all the awards. They all pale to the glory of Christ and what He's done in my life. It's amazing what He has done in my life. I wouldn't trade my position in Christ for a thousand NBA championships or a thousand Hall of Fame rings or for a hundred billion dollars. There's nothing like the joy of Jesus Christ in your life."
