The Twitter word of the day is HISTRIONIC Dictionary. com's entry: adjective 1. of or relating to actors or acting. 2. deliberately affected or self-consciously emotional; overly dramatic, in behavior or speech.

And definitely subscribe to his channel. I'm excited he has this going, as my interaction with him leads me to believe he's willing to speak up when theology has gone of the rails, regardless of the direction the train fell.

Lately, "empathy" has been passed off as "toxic" and "sin" in certain Christian circles. Do they have a point? It's true that it's possible to abuse the idea of empathy in a way that encourages Christians to endorse sin. But does that mean empathy isn't a biblical concept?

Is EMPATHY a biblical concept? Watch @tim_bertolet video diving into the English term and Greek words that convey the idea. youtube.com/watch?v=aSbqXn…

I don't care that TPUSA put on another halftime show. Whatever. But please stop lowering the bar to what Christianity is, and what the gospel is.

And if you want to make the argument that "oh, he did this old Kid rock thing but then it was his real name..." If this wasn't a TPUSA/Trump v. woke Bad Bunny thing, would you honestly, truly say a man who has repented and believed in the gospel would still play that song?

The gospel according to @conservmillen: Kid Rock saying the name Jesus two minutes after rapping lines about "topless dancers," "chicks with beepers," "veins...punctured," and "hookers all trickin' out in Hollywood."

@conservmillen @MikeCosper Allie, you changed your argument. You complained about it being in Spanish and Mike responded to that. He didn't defend the lyrics. You are purposefully moving the goalposts.

@MikeCosper “A Dominican who is a fresh hottie Fresh, fresh hottie The one from Barcelona that came by plane And says that my dick is fire” Yes, Christians celebrating this is a God-honoring way to love our Hispanic neighbors! Good take

Alternative take: America has always been a melting pot, and once in a while throwing a bone to our spanish speaking neighbors is a kind and loving thing to do, and Christians ought to celebrate it because they appreciate all those neighbors do for them.

Haven't been on in a couple weeks, so I just want to be on the record for saying that Milan's #Olympics opening ceremony was pretty awesome.

There is a massive data set that progressive churches are far more likely to preach politics on Sunday. Those same churches are dying off. The temptation on the right to turn Sunday sermons into political sermons like the theological left does will result in the same.

Amen.

If you’re wondering how to vote in the upcoming primaries, look at who Trump is endorsing and vote against that one.

Just wanna reiterate, the "Wholesome alternative" to Bad Bunny's spanish language performance was rapping (lip syncing, badly, apparently) about "topless dancers" and "G's with the 40's and the chicks with beepers." Pack up your self-righteousness and take a hike, TPUSA, this is a bad, bad joke.

Honestly, I wish @MLB would pay for a #SuperBowl ad to air at the end of the game that simply says, “Welcome to Baseball Season.”

I miss the days when there was only one #SuperBowl halftime performance I didn't want to watch.

Some hard truths about this whole dust-up: • The MAGA ecosystem has a contingent regularly produces and shares racially charged and downright racist content with no accountability or repercussions. • Truth Social, where all of this happened, is owned by the President and full of racially charged content. • It’s so prevalent that the President’s own algorithm fed it to him. • The President and his Press Secretary have refused to offer any apology even up until now. • There is zero chance some low level staffer is running the President’s personal account, his MAIN avenue for communication. • Before rushing to give credit for deleting it, countless supporters were rushing to defend it. • Far too many people are refusing to demand an apology because they’re afraid of being seen as “woke.” The progressive gaze is not the only controlling gaze. • A sincere apology early probably would have helped greatly, but the president is a man who by his own admission has “never asked for forgiveness.” He’s acting consistently here. • A potential result is that this is a galvanizing event so that even those who are now staking their credibility on standing with the President well now lose the very things they wanted if there is a wipeout in the midterm elections, which strategists on the right are terrified of currently. • An even worse result is that once again, relationships are being strained and even good causes harmed because of a small group of people who have a total lack of impulse control and who tolerate what ought never to be tolerated. And after all of this, it’s those of us who speak up against it that will be told we are the problem. I am a conservative. But if we don’t deal with this underbelly of racist content on the post-conservative right, that failure will come at a great cost.

Clowns lauding clowns.
