@MatthewWielicki This train will be the cleanest, most beautiful, most efficient, fastest, environmentally friendly, cost effective train EVER . . . because it exists only in the imagination.

This train will never run and for sure never offset the emissions of building it and the costs.

@sleeepydogz @OliLondonTV Oh, be fair now. It is equally likely to be Ubited Methodist.

@OliLondonTV Not really. Presbyterian Church went woke at some point . It was a Presbyterian preacher that verbally attacked Trump at the church service after he was elected. When you see a church backing gay and trans, it is usually Presbyterian.

Trans Rep. Sarah McBride says he is an “ordained elder in the Presbyterian church.” “I am an ordained elder in the Presbyterian church. I can do weddings; I also perform communion. That probably makes some right-wingers heads explode.”

@BrandonStraka "Ticky tacky houses" - there's even a song from decades ago about this. California experienced it in the 50s.

Some residents are raising concerns about new housing developments, describing them as overly uniform and lacking character, particularly in rural areas. “It's really so dystopian and scary...” x.com/WallStreetApes…

@ConceptualJames @GadSaad For the first time in years I disagree with you. WLT has been taught in "Christian" schools of theology for years. 😢

@GadSaad White Liberation Theology just got born.

What's happening?!

@TheBritLad @Tneliton @grok is this true?

🚨BREAKING: HUGE crowds of Christians flooded a Brazilian beach at 5am (sunrise) to worship Jesus and boldly declare: “Brazil is a Christian country.” Christianity is on the rise globally.

@PNWConservative If boots on the ground are limited to Kargh and establishing a multi-nation treaty& support for safety of ships thru Hormuz I'd be okay with it.

I have a lot of different people in my follower base, but wanted to gauge your thoughts. Would you support boots on the ground in the Iran conflict?

@PNWConservative This person's demeanor and tactics are consistent with a vindictive woman.

@TheFuzzFella @RaphySantiag @Pontifex Such a loving, Christian response, sure to build "solidarity."

@RaphySantiag @Pontifex You should read the Pope's statement again, only this time try understanding the words. Ass.

All men and women, especially Christians, are called to fix their gaze on those who suffer, on the pain of the lonely, and on those who are emarginated for various reasons, for without them we cannot build a just society. Only together can we build communities of solidarity capable of caring for everyone, in which wellbeing and peace can flourish for the benefit of all. Caring for the humanity of others helps us to live our own lives to the full.

‘PROGNOSIS EXCELLENT’: Trump Says Chief Of Staff Susie Wiles Diagnosed With Breast Cancer hannity.com/media-room/pro…

@ZeekArkham Chita Rivera triumphed on Broadway for a long time.

Dear Rachel Zegler, You say when you were growing up, there were no Latina women in “big pieces of media.” I don’t know what media you were watching, but Gloria Estefan, Selena, Celia Cruz, and Salma Hayek would all like to have words with you. Lynda Carter, Raquel Welch, and Rita Moreno were around before them. I’m sure there are way more; this is just off the top of my head. See, this is why no one went to see your stupid DEI project Snow White movie. You make an ass out of yourself and piss everyone off to the point where the only thing we’re really hoping for you, is to see you on the unemployment line. Hitting rock bottom seems to cure narcissism really quickly, and we’re all hoping you get cured really soon. Maybe you could play AOC in a biopic. Wouldn’t be much of a stretch from your actual personality. Two pendejas. No hugs. You might be all “you’ve never hugged a Latina before” and then that’s just gonna open a can of worms between my wife and about half my ex-girlfriends. I’m not sleeping on the couch again over your dumb ass. Zeek

@VigilantFox What makes this conversation effective is that it's actually taking place. Now progressives are using measles. We'll know things have changed if rational people are allowed to say: 1st case is often caused by unvetted foreigners, are mild, infants don't need the vax.

Bill Maher SNAPS when a guest calls people “nuts” for refusing the COVID vaccine. MAHER: “What are your thoughts on the vaccine?” ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI: “I know people who have had vaccine injuries. I think they rushed it.” LLOYD BLANKFEIN: “I was so glad to get that vaccine.” MAHER: “Great.” BLANKFEIN: “I don’t like to judge, but anybody who thinks otherwise is nuts.” MAHER: “No. You’re wrong. Good for you. I’m glad you liked it. I didn’t want to get it, and I didn’t need it.” “If you think everybody who got it needed it, YOU’RE NUTS!” Watch how this exchange unfolds in this two-minute clip. Who do you think won?

@conmomma @JayM68350069362 I have been holding you in prayer. Now I will pray for you daily:that our Lord fills you with the strength, grace, & deep peace you need. We know our God will supply all our needs (Philippians 4:19). May you be blessed with a strong, abiding sense of His loving presence.

@silentjoy_v @JayM68350069362 I am tired. I feel like eyes are closed and ears are closed. This is tough to watch.

Let’s say I am wrong in choosing to believe God’s covenants are everlasting to Israel- the consequence for me -pretty much just being wrong. But, if you’re wrong. If you believe that God’s covenants are not everlasting & that He has broken His everlasting covenant to Israel, & then He returns to defend Israel as the prophet Zechariah says He will…. Well that’s eternally bad for you.

@BRAVEpastorjeff @conmomma Amen! Preach it, brother!!

Genesis 17:7 says God established His covenant with Abraham and his descendants as an everlasting covenant. Everlasting means everlasting. God keeps His promises. #Bible #Genesis17 #Israel

@conmomma @JayM68350069362 You really do an amazing job defending our God and explaining why His covenants are eternal. Thank you.

@JayM68350069362 The nations will be judged on how they treat Israel. This is about the heart. You can not rule and reign in God’s kingdom and hate the apple of His eye.

@clashreport @RichardGrenell Great Britain has fallen. It is now an English speaking (temporarily) Islamic/Communist nation.

Tony Blair on Iran: Every single time you test an alliance you never test it when things are easy. You test it when it’s hard. They were asking to use our bases to refuel. It’s not like it was in Vietnam, not like the Iraq campaign where we had thousands of British troops. The American relationship matters. It matters particularly today. It’s not a question of whether it’s this president or that president. If they are your ally and they are an indispensable cornerstone for your security, you had better show up.

@SharLokke @OliLondonTV Because it's a process of transformation. Multiple surgeries, each a little closer to the deeply longed for ideal. The surgeon/hospital makes $$$ and the patient is soothed and complimented at every step by staff & confused but loving family doing their best to cope.

@OliLondonTV So why didn’t he have boob improvements and belly removal.

Trans man shows off his new ‘feminine’ look after facial feminization surgery to become a ‘woman’; says he’s loving the new “attention” he gets. x.com/ViralVideos/st…

The large demonstrations celebrating the de*th of Khamenei provide a striking lesson: large demonstrations are NOT automatically violent & destructive. Since the 60s the left has insisted it is necessary & their right to be violent when protesting. It clearly is not.

@GovBobFerguson I don't want you to take money from someone else and give it to me - or anyone else. Cut taxes & spending and leave us alone to make the best lives we can.

Life is too expensive for too many Washingtonians. I hear that every single day, including from small businesses. A Millionaires' Tax can't just tax the wealthy — it must take a significant amount of those dollars and help out folks at the other end of the economic ladder.

@HarmeetKDhillon Dad Saves America

Getting ready for today’s 15k steps walk (my average recently) after soaking several dozen ranunculus corms for pre-sprouting. I’ve outrun my podcast queue. What are your favorite interesting podcasts to listen to regularly?

@MattWalshBlog @TheClassicalCon This strikes me as a teenager level response, unworthy of you & the situation. Obviously the builder of a weapon can replace materials destroyed. When they choose those actions repeatedly it becomes clear opposition must neutralize persons not just materials.

@TheClassicalCon So the strike in the summer was actually not the brilliant success that we were told? You can’t have it both ways.

As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty. What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent. We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects. Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century. I’m praying for our great country today.
