Like many of you, I am exhausted with certain influencers, politicians, idealogical media, and others that have turned what we used to call “spin” into a remorseless culture of lying and mistruths. Perhaps it has always been this dire but now magnified by our fast moving digital world, but nevertheless it’s reached an unbearable point. There seems to be no shame for simply making stuff up, bearing false witnesses, and spewing lies for their own purposes and benefit. To the contrary, they are rewarded for it with power and money. What a sad way to earn a living and go through life, but unfortunately, it has become acceptable for way too many. And with the technological advancement of our society, we are all constantly subjected to it. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. For some time, I’ve wanted to get my Bible out and remind myself what it says about these things and the consequences of such actions. Before I do, my disclaimer: (1) I am a sinner in my own right and fall short regularly. (2) I am not preaching at you. (3) I do not claim to be a biblical scholar. (4) And I don’t make a habit of quoting Bible verses on Twitter. I did grow up in Sunday School and know my way around the Bible, and yes, I should probably open it up more now than I do. Exodus 20:16 says “you shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” Proverbs 6:16 -19 “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him…. A lying tongue; a heart that devises wicked schemes; a false witness who pours out lies; and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” Proverbs 12:19-20 “Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace.” Proverbs 12:22 “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in men who are truthful.” Proverbs 14:5 “A truthful witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.” Proverbs 19:5 “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.” Proverbs 19:9 “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will perish.” Revelation 21:8 “…all liars will have their place in the fiery lake of burning sulfur.” John 8:44 - When Jesus was speaking about Satan …”When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Matthew 15:18 Jesus spoke “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man unclean … false testimony and slander.” Whether you believe in God or not, these elementary principles will hopefully resonate. Indeed, it doesn’t take a believer to recognize that lying and deception is wrong. But why are we all tolerating it? So, the next time your favorite influencer, politician, idealogical media, or other social media personality intentionally speaks mistruths, don’t chalk it up as acceptable “spin.” They are lies. They are bearing false witness. Call it and recognize it for what it is. Finally, one of my best friends always says “the truth will always win.” Lately, I have been questioning that conclusion. But it will in the end. It will in the end.

Opportunity Zones = real investment and real hope. In April, @rep_stevewomack and I welcomed @SecTurner to NWA to discuss how Opportunity Zones can revitalize our communities - starting right here in Arkansas. Thanks to the OBBB we’re unlocking $100B+ for this great program!

.@SecretaryTurner and I saw firsthand earlier this year how Opportunity Zones are spurring investment in downtown Springdale and across the state. With the passage of OBBB, cities like Springdale are poised for even greater growth.

🧑‍🚒💯Exciting News: The Springdale Fire Department has been recognized as the 2025 Fire Department of the Year for the State of Arkansas, and Chief Blake Holte has been honored as the 2025 Fire Chief of the Year. These awards highlight the department's outstanding service, leadership, and dedication to the community. Congratulations to Chief Holte and the entire team for their exceptional commitment to keeping Springdale safe.

Happy Father’s Day to the men who stand firm in a world gone sideways. You protect, provide, and pass down truth. Strong fathers raise free nations. We honor you today! Join me in wishing all the fathers a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! MAHA

“The fatal attraction of the government is that it allows busybodies to impose decisions on others without paying any price themselves. That enables them to act as if there were no price, even when there are ruinous prices paid by others.” — Thomas Sowell

Evidence suggests @flyxna forgot how to have a bad month. January this year produced 80K passengers. Previous best January was 70K. bit.ly/4193V24

As an Election Commissioner, I have supervised elections using punch card, paper and electronic voting. I much prefer the paper ballot and Election Day voting. Hand counting/tabulation is the issue. I am very confident after years of PERSONAL DIRECT experience in using paper ballots and mechanical tabulation.

Seeing this passed around....what do you think? The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them. 2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!). 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. NO WONDER THEY’RE FIGHTING EVERYTHING HE TRIES!

Truth-seekers take feedback from nature (planes have to fly), free markets (customers have to buy), or competition (militaries have to win). Consensus-seekers take feedback from people (actors want fans, academics want honors, politicians want votes, journalists want status).

Today is a day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it. Set your mind and energy to living well and doing good for others. Get off of Twitter for a while and LIVE.

Agreed. And as a percentage of total people shot and killed, it was 3.8% of black suspects (9/236) and 5.1% of white suspects (19/371) who were unarmed. That means that 96.2% of black suspects killed were armed while 94.9% of white suspects were armed Is that white privilege?

Racism is not dead. But it is on life-support, kept alive mainly by the people who use it for an excuse or to keep minority communities fearful or resentful enough to turn out as a voting bloc on election day.

In this case, I'd like to deport the dumb American girl and make the immigrant president.

Just do it!!!

His life mattered too.

I wonder if Barack Obama gave his national address on "racial inequality" from his $15 million mansion in Martha's Vineyard today? 🤔

Tucker Carlson On The Violence Against Cops By The Mob "For 38 years David Dorn was a police officer in the city of St. Louis. No one ever accused Dorn of racism, he was black. He's dead now, he was murdered last night by the mob."

Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats shared an altered image to try and embarrass President Trump, which turns out to be from 2015. washingtonexaminer.com/news/viral-whi…
