@CopsGoneWrong Seems both are somewhat a-holes. Deputy Duffus needs to man up. Bikedude should shut up.

Cop just violated the Fourth Amendment 💀

Tokyo fireworks mark 250 years of U.S. independence.

@BasedMikeLee My oath will always be to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC!

So glad they didn’t say “well, we don’t have 60 votes, so let’s recess and then move on to something else.” Who’s with me?

All right Google, I’ll give this one to you. This is pretty great.

You've probably heard this before, but it's always worth repeating. Something extremely cool about the "Star-spangled Banner," the American national anthem, is that it asks a question, and it's the question at the heart of everything in the American worldview. "Oh, say, can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming..." So the anthem begins with a question and a scene. One man, a patriot, is asking another man, another patriot, "can you see it?" at sunrise after a long, dangerous night. The "it" in question is going to be revealed to be the flag, our "star-spangled banner," which they had last fully recognized and honored as the sun set, daylight failed, and night crept over them the evening before. Can you see it? Say! Can you see it?! IS IT STILL THERE?! "Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming..." Here we find that the "it" is in fact the flag, our star-spangled banner, and we learn why the question is being asked. The flag is described as having flown and streamed gallantly over ramparts of war through a perilous fight. All could have been lost. The flag, and even the fledgling country for which it stands, one nation under God and indivisible. Say! Can you see it? Now that the light is back? IS IT STILL THERE?! "--And the rockets' red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there!--" They could see it through the battle in the light of the rockets and bombs that threatened them, here and there in quick glimpses. But it was still there throughout! But now? At dawn? Say! Can you see? IS IT STILL THERE?! "Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?" The urgency is palpable with every refrain. They have to know. It's the first thing they must know as the sun begins to light the sky, even before it rises. IS IT STILL THERE?! Say! Say!! Can you see? Can you see it?! At the heart of every American beats the fundamental truth and reality that what we have here is precious, that it's worth fighting for, to the death if necessary, and that it's fragile. That at any moment it can be lost. That we have to remember to look for it because last night might have been the night in which it failed. Every day, every year, every generation. The American fight for freedom, to live in self-governance within ordered liberty, is ongoing and never-ending. The price of the land of the free is that it must be the home of the brave. We have to defend it, defend it, and defend it again, against all enemies foreign and domestic, because what we have is amazing, rare, fragile, and worth every cent of treasure, every drop of blood, and every risk to our sacred honor to protect it. Our anthem is not a declaration. It is not a proclamation. It is not a statement. It is a question. Every time we sing our wholly unique national anthem, we as American ask the question again. IS IT STILL THERE?! Are we still America? Does that star-spangled banner yet wave? Because it's a question, the answer is not known. It is not a guarantee. It cannot be taken for granted and isn't. And what an honor to ask and take up our part in the story, in the American Experiment, in the greatest country the world has ever known. For tonight, the last night of our first 250 years, as the sun gave way to twilight's last gleaming and darkness overtook our land once again, the answer was still yes. We can see it even tonight in the red glare of rockets, with small bombs bursting in air, fill the sky with the noble tribute of fireworks once again. And we all ask ourselves, will it still be flying at dawn? This is what it means to be an American. Happy 250th, America! Now for many happy returns! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

MUST WATCH Two patriotic 85-year-old songwriters called the Forever Boys released a music video called “What Would You Do If America Needed You," in reaction to the recent election of multiple far-left communists. The song calls on every American to preserve the principles and freedoms on which our country was founded. POWERFUL 🇺🇲 They gave me permission to post and spread it to the world. Please share!

@JoeyMannarino God gave them up to a debased mind...

Take a good, hard look at this video. A tiny 9-year-old girl, standing there looking lost, confused, and completely out of place while these grown men swarm all over her. One’s got his arm draped around her, patting her head like she’s a pet, gesturing and smiling as if this is some joyous occasion. This is her wedding. To an adult man. Islam not normal, it’s not “culture,” and it sure as hell isn’t harmless religion. This is straight-up child abuse and pedophilia dressed up in religious clothing, the same sick practice their prophet normalized when he married a 6-year-old. We need to call it exactly what it is and stop pretending otherwise.

@RapidFlowMedia What a joke.

1-inch press Olympics.

@TB1Kinobe As soon as he touched me, he'd be in the water or on his back with lil' birdies circling his head. FAFO moment right there.

Here comes The HOA Guy freaking out on a man fishing his own land, why do they care so much about any of the rules?

@libsoftiktok That abomination of marching is not the soldiers fault. THAT falls squarely on the drill instructors.

Last year, the Canadian Department of National Defense released a DEI plan for making their military more "inclusive." The results speak for themselves 👇

@Truth_matters20 I would nuance that by saying, "No true mature Christian should doubt..." Young or new believers need to mature into that confidence.

No true Christian should doubt their salvation. If Jesus has saved you, you should be certain of it. You should know your Lord and Savior and you should never doubt what He has done for you. You are eternally secure in His arms.

@lichthauch Yup. And it hurts, too.

Moses didn't get the promised land. he walked forty years for it, he lost his family for it, he stood in front of God for it, his face melted for it, and at the end God said you can see it from here but you're not going in. and he died on the mountain looking at it. God's favorite guy, the one who actually talked to him face to face, died in the desert looking at the thing he never got. now tell again how you deserved that promotion and God isn't answering your prayers. moses entire function was the walking, not the arriving. the forty years of shut up and move your feet when nobody believes you, including most mornings yourself. the promised land was always the desert. the desert is where he talks, the desert is where he needs you. and you hate that. i do too

@Mark_Wilson_25 Awesome! Thank you for this post.

Why Did God Give Joseph an Egyptian Bride? One small detail in Genesis may reveal a breathtaking pattern of redemption. The Torah is full of patterns. Again and again, God teaches not only through prophecy, but through people, places, and events that seem to echo a much larger story. Joseph may be one of the most remarkable examples. Most people remember that Joseph was betrayed by his brothers. Far fewer notice when he married. Yet tucked away in Genesis is an extraordinary detail that has fascinated readers for centuries. Could Joseph's life be more than history? Could it also be a portrait of God's unfolding plan of redemption? Jewish tradition itself recognized Joseph's unique redemptive role. Later rabbinic literature speaks of Mashiach ben Yosef (Messiah son of Joseph)—a suffering, rejected redeemer who precedes the victorious Son of David. While this concept developed after the Tanakh, it demonstrates that Jewish readers perceived something extraordinary about Joseph's life. Now consider the story itself. Joseph is the beloved son of his father (Genesis 37:3). He is sent to his brothers. They hate him. Reject him. Plot against him. Sell him for silver (Genesis 37:28). Ironically, the very dreams that provoked their hatred would one day come true. Though innocent, Joseph suffers slavery, false accusation, and imprisonment. Yet every apparent defeat becomes another step in God's hidden plan. Then everything changes. At thirty years of age (Genesis 41:46), Joseph is lifted from the prison to the palace. He is exalted to Pharaoh's right hand and entrusted with authority over the kingdom. Only then does Genesis record an easily overlooked detail: "Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath... as his wife." (Genesis 41:45) Joseph receives a new name. A new position. And an Egyptian bride. His Egyptian name is debated, but proposed meanings such as "the one who preserves life" fittingly reflect his God-given mission. Even more striking is Asenath herself. She is an Egyptian. The daughter of an Egyptian priest. Entirely outside Abraham's covenant family. Yet she becomes the bride of the rejected and exalted son. Genesis never says this is a prophecy. But viewed alongside the rest of Scripture, it forms a remarkable biblical pattern: while Joseph remains separated from his brothers, blessing extends beyond the covenant family to the nations. Then comes another fascinating detail: "All the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain..." (Genesis 41:57) The nations come to the rejected son because he possesses the bread that preserves life. Throughout Scripture, bread becomes a recurring picture of God's provision—from the manna in the wilderness, to the Bread of the Presence, to the great Messianic banquet anticipated by the prophets. Years later, Yeshua would declare, "I am the bread of life." (John 6:35) Years pass. Famine eventually drives Joseph's brothers to Egypt. One sentence quietly captures the drama: "Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him." (Genesis 42:8) The rejected brother knows those who rejected him long before they know him. Eventually Joseph reveals himself. "I am Joseph your brother..." (Genesis 45:4) What follows is one of the most moving scenes in Genesis. Joseph does not seek revenge. He weeps. He embraces them. He comforts them. The rejected brother becomes the one who saves the very family that rejected him. Meanwhile, another transformation has taken place. Judah—the very brother who proposed selling Joseph (Genesis 37:26–27)—later offers himself in Benjamin's place (Genesis 44:33). Grace changes guilty hearts. The story that began with betrayal ends with reconciliation. Then comes one of the greatest declarations of God's sovereignty in the Torah: "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive." (Genesis 50:20) Joseph does not minimize evil. He names it. But he also proclaims that God's purposes are never defeated by human rebellion. The New Testament presents a similar mystery. Paul writes: "A partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved..." (Romans 11:25–26) Paul does not explicitly connect Joseph with this passage. Yet many Christians have long noticed the intriguing pattern: while Joseph remains unrecognized by his brothers, blessing flows to the nations; afterward comes reconciliation. Whether one understands Joseph primarily as providential history, literary artistry, or as a divinely intended foreshadowing of the Messiah, the parallels invite thoughtful reflection. ❖ Beloved son. ❖ Sent by his father. ❖ Rejected by his brothers. ❖ Sold for silver. ❖ Innocent sufferer. ❖ Exalted after humiliation. ❖ Bride from the nations. ❖ Bread for a starving world. ❖ Brothers who later recognize the one they rejected. Joseph is not the Messiah. But perhaps he is one of the Torah's most beautiful portraits of the Messiah. Long before Bethlehem... Long before Isaiah described the Suffering Servant... Long before Zechariah spoke of the Pierced One... The Torah was already telling a story of rejection, suffering, exaltation, forgiveness, reconciliation, and life. Perhaps that is why these patterns appear again and again throughout the Scriptures. The Bible is not sixty-six disconnected books. It is one unfolding story. One divine Author. One redemptive plan. And one promised Redeemer, whose portrait seems to emerge in unexpected places—even in the life of a young man named Joseph.

@farmingandJesus Because they think they can earn it.

Why do people think you can lose your salvation?

@DavidFischer There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5

Christians/Catholics: If I confess my sins to a Priest, will he take those requests to Jesus or do I need to confess my sins directly to Jesus?

@Aku_700 Suicide by cop.

🚨WTF Knife-Wielding Muslim Woman Charges Cop – Gets Dropped in Seconds! A 21-year-old Muslim woman named Heba Momtaz Alazhari called police for “help” outside City Hall, then suddenly attacked an officer with a huge butcher knife. She charged fast and aggressively, swinging the blade while ignoring repeated commands to drop it. The officer dodged, backed up, and finally shot her dead in clear self-defense. She brought a deadly weapon to a gunfight and paid the price. The video proves the cop had no choice — it was kill or be killed. No sympathy for anyone who tries to murder police officers in broad daylight. Justice was served instantly.

@AngstigeHippie @Hitchslap1 Incorrect. A high EQ allows an individual to both know their own emotional state as well as navigate that fluctuating landscape of the people around them, typically coworkers, peers, etc. The high EQ people are very adaptable. They are not oversensitive.

@wealthwithjeff @Hitchslap1 I think it is the other way around. A high EQ leads to the oversensitivity that is commonly associated with being "gifted."

I hear this often but it makes no sense. How is having a high IQ in any way a curse?

@mladner30 My Christian faith does NOT depend on this. And if you are using your post as a disguise for hatred of Jews, then shame on you. Regardless, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is non-negotiable.

Christian Americans, you need to know something that will shock you: The religion called Judaism today is not the religion of the Old Testament. It is the religion of the Pharisees the exact group Jesus spent His entire ministry fighting. After the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, a man named Yochanan ben Zakkai (a leading Pharisee) escaped Jerusalem in a coffin, went to Yavneh, and began turning the Oral Tradition into what eventually became the Talmud. The Talmud is the actual foundation of modern Judaism, not the Old Testament. And here’s what you need to look up for yourself (this is verifiable): Sanhedrin 57a and Bava Kamma 113a m which state that Jews and non-Jews are governed by two completely different moral laws. Ketubot 11b which discusses sexual relations with children under the age of three. This is why Jesus called them “of their father the devil” John 8:44 and “a synagogue of Satan” Revelation 2:9, 3:9. Most Christians have been taught that modern Jews are still “God’s chosen people.” The Bible says the opposite. The true chosen people are those who follow Jesus Chris; Jew or Gentile. This isn’t conspiracy. It’s history and scripture. Look it up. Your faith depends on it.

@ScottRoberts Amen

There are no modern-day Apostles .
