#OU used to have pitchers that opposing teams feared. That’s just not the case right now. Gotta go pay NIL and get an absolute ace. It’s set the tone from the jump today and Miss St had the momentum inning one and on. This team is young. They will be good. But an ace is needed.

@RealJayWilliams now that the falling trope is worn out, what's next? The benches are too deep and must be shrunk by the league? Whatcha got other than caring about winning basketball teams?

@BillSimmons next pod will be about how the @NBA must do something about the bench players. Teams should be limited to only 7 or 8 players in the playoffs because of competitive balance or something, blah, blah, blah...

@RadovanIsabella If you woke up this morning frustrated about a kids game you have no control of you should go touch some grass, have a picnic, see some friends and family, read a book. Take care of yourself.

For the record, this is the man Keller told us offered a “brilliant example of how to be Christian in the public square.” This is why I say concern regarding the inability Keller sometimes had to rightly discern a sound Christian witness from an unsound one is justified. It’s the same issue he ran into with his promotion of Francis Collins and Greg Johnson. So it wasn’t just what Keller taught himself that was sometimes an issue, it was also those he recommended we learned from.
Breitbart News@BreitbartNews

Stephen Colbert, a professed Catholic, says he believes that when we die, "there is some continuance of some kind. But it’s like a dispersion of the self into some other greater being. And I don’t have any other feelings beyond that.” This sounds more like the Gnostic concept of the Pleroma than the Catholic doctrine of Heaven.

Universal birthright citizenship means there is no uniquely American birthright. That was never the meaning or intention of the 14th Amendment.

Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams will be evaluated day by day, game to game with a left hamstring injury, sources tell ESPN. He'll undergo treatment and return based on how he feels recovering from the second injury to the same hamstring in under one month.

For the 2nd straight game of the WCF, the biggest winner (outside of the team that actually won the game) was the Knicks. This is going to be a 7 game war that finds the victor operating at far less than 100% going into the Finals. A Knicks title is a very real possibility.

@megbasham I'm not getting enough clicks, so let's dredge up a tired argument about someone who has passed away...that's quite honorable.

The consideration of Keller's legacy on broader evangelical thinking is going to be ongoing and those who have a vested interest in maintaining a gloss on his reputation (think TGC or fellows from The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics) will understandably resist inclusion of those aspects that have come in for strong critique. (I believe for good reason). It's understandable those who today work in ministries Keller founded or was connected to would resist this part of his review, and we shouldn't leave out the parts of Keller's teaching that were sound and valuable and his ability to gain a hearing with less receptive audiences. But this discussion must also include the central role he played in trying to make a progressive social gospel palatable to theologically conservative evangelicals. His promotion of Gustavo Gutierrez and liberation theology, for instance. His insistence, as in the first clip, that black men are incarcerated at higher rates because of white bias rather than higher rates of black criminality. Or his argument that negotiating for the best price on a car deal is an example of systemic racism and sexism. He calls it a form of rebellion against God. (Never mind there are many scenarios where white people would be poorer negotiators--are minorities taking advantage of them and in rebellion against God then?) Or his finding of systemic racism in missionaries raising their funding (a practice that applies to missionaries of all ethnicities) because he claims some ethnic backgrounds have access to more wealth. He includes Asians among those who are supposedly at a disadvantage here without acknowledging that Asians have higher overall median household and individual earnings than whites do. In the third video, he promotes idea of "white skin" being a "historical asset." And he argues white people have a responsibility to be conscious of the fact that this skin color advantage was earned for them through unjust practices of past generations of white people (thus, everyone with white skin bears some guilt for this even if their ancestors didn't personally participate in racial oppression). And there are many more such examples from Keller, taking ideas from liberation theology and disseminating it to the broader evangelical church. So I think it's important to acknowledge the part of his ministry that was heavily focused on social justice rather than challenging the views of his urban, progressive audience that would certainly align with that worldview. This part of Keller's preaching acted as reassurance to his minority audience that they have been wronged and are justified to some degree in embracing grievance and envy. This was some of his most influential teaching that shaped much of the evangelical landscape on how young pastors spoke and wrote about the church needing more focus on becoming champions against this alleged social injustice. So by all means, let's not throw out the meat that the Keller produced through his ministry. But these bones were a significant part of his influence and we cannot ignore it either.

@T_Neal THAT is what you want to focus on? How about Chet? He has to guard Wimby and wear himself out OR he has to score 20. It's actually that simple.

@AZHouseDems I didn’t think there was a single program in the world where Dem’s cared about fraud and abuse? 😂😂😂 One bad actor is not a trend. Do government better- prosecute to full extent of the law. Make an example out of them.

There’s no denying the ESA voucher program has wasted taxpayer dollars. AG Kris Mayes’ office investigated a couple who raked in $110,000 from ESA vouchers for nonexistent children over the course of 17 months. The Auditor General’s report details how much waste, fraud, and abuse comes out of this program and further proves why accountability is long overdue.

Yea- let’s hold an act on college sports hostage because athletic leaders haven’t chosen to air their personal political views publicly. Gangster move by the CBC. (Which should be called the Democratic Black Caucus since they don’t admit Republican Black members).
Ross Dellenger@RossDellenger

This from the CBC release: The CBC has transmitted formal letters to Greg Sankey, Jim Phillips, and Charlie Baker “demanding immediate engagement and a public response regarding the ongoing assault on Black political representation throughout the South and across the nation.”
