In Puerto Rico, many industries have come and gone. Some investors treat the island like a temporary stop. But the Jones Act maritime industry stayed. These are real jobs. Stable jobs. Read My Latest! newsismybusiness.com/analysis-jones…

"The waiver is too broad, has not lowered and simply cannot materially lower prices, and risks undermining the very domestic maritime capacity the Jones Act exists to foster, promote, develop, and maintain, in the interest of U.S. national and economic security." #EndtheWaiver marinelink.com/news/jones-act…

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6). I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing. Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22). Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding. Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

National security analyst @rebeccagrantdc appeared on @FoxNews with a clear message: “It’s time for him to cancel the Jones Act waiver.” President Trump must prioritize American maritime workers and U.S. shipyards — not foreign carriers, foreign workers, and foreign economies.

For all Sunday Briefing viewers curious why my left eye is swollen: about 24 hours ago, I scratched my cornea while building a fort with my three year old daughter. Since it’s Father’s Day allow me to make a dad joke and say this direct was…un-fort-unate

I wish the world got as upset over the millions of abortions that happen every year like they do over a dog who died.

Yes

@benshapiro She's another economically illiterate moron...

Salaries of the NY Knicks this year: Karl Anthony Towns - $53,142,264 OG Anunoby - $39,568,966 Jalen Brunson - $34,944,001 Mikal Bridges - $24,900,000 Josh Hart - $19,472,240 Mitchell Robinson - $12,954,546 Total Knicks payroll: $207,454,264 So much socialisming.

Rob Schneider is putting his money behind the message. The Hollywood star says he'll cover any potential fines for MLB players who wear Bible verses on their uniforms after league officials warned three San Francisco Giants pitchers who displayed Bible references on their Pride Night caps. The moment has quickly turned into a bigger fight over religious expression, league rules, and where MLB draws the line on what players can show on the field.

This is a no Brainer! #JonesAct

@ScottLoBaido Absolutely Right!!! Would love to book you on Podcast to discuss more! I sent you an email yesterday!

Once again… I’ll fukin say it!!

.@SenatorWicker is right: the Jones Act is a national security mandate. The Jones Act sustains the mariners, shipyards, and industrial capacity our military relies on. That's why President Trump must lift the broad waiver and put American workers, American shipyards, and American strength FIRST.

Congress is asking the same questions American workers have been asking for months. @RepCarbajal has launched oversight of foreign actors using the Jones Act waiver, seeking information on compliance with US laws, regulations, & other impacts The American people deserve answers.

.@ohyeahitsjulio writes that Puerto Rico needs solutions, not scapegoats. The Jones Act is integral to keeping Puerto Rico supplied in good times and bad, which is integral to long-term economic growth. Read more in @BIZPACReview 🇺🇸🤝🇵🇷 bizpacreview.com/2026/02/21/pue…
