By devoting over 7 times more coverage to Sydney Sweeney than the Epstein scandal, Fox continues to lean into cultural rage bait to avoid covering stories detrimental to the Trump administration.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Parable of the Rich Fool
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, โ€œTeacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.โ€ 14 But he said to him, โ€œFriend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?โ€ 15 And he said to them, โ€œTake care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed, for oneโ€™s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.โ€ 16 Then he told them a parable: โ€œThe land of a rich man produced abundantly. 17 And he thought to himself, โ€˜What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?โ€™ 18 Then he said, โ€˜I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.โ€™ 20 But God said to him, โ€˜You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?โ€™ 21 So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.โ€

Folks in my church are pretty cool, but sometimes I'm worried I'll be accused of being too political when I'm just preaching the lectionary texts.

I think the real lesson is that you shouldn't run your political platform in a way that all the Gospel texts on greed seem like a personal call-out.

Great work folks! I've been playing this game for awhile as it has been in testing (playing tonight, even). Excited to see it in action.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Donโ€™t normalize this abuse of office. Itโ€™s blatant corruption.

AI could be a tool that's used for good. Or it could be a tool that's used to pad corporate profits at the expense of workers.

None of this is inevitable.

The question is will we continue to allow a handful of people to decide the future for us?

As the Department of Homeland Security once again kidnaps a Bible verse to justify militarized hunting of immigrants in a social media video, I'm reminded that the Bible shows us that even Satan knows how to quote Scripture.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

When a network lays off one of Americaโ€™s greatest satirists, itโ€™s not because he failed. Itโ€™s because he succeeded too loudly.

Brother visiting LA from Japan where he has lived for the last 7 years forgot how difficult everything in America was. Wish America would behave better so that he would move home.

Both the heroes and the villains in scripture are religious people, but it's still shocking that people who claim to follow Jesus have so warped their picture of him that they can't figure out which side of empathy and vulnerability Jesus would be on.

"Stinson, who can recite the biblical text about the heifers by heart, detailed the search in his 2024 book...โ€œ

People can get mega detailed about their nonsense, especially if it distracts from doing the tough stuff the Gospel actually demands. Caring for vulnerable people in Gaza, for example.

Two days after the deadly Texas floods, FEMA struggled to answer calls from survivors to its disaster assistance line.

Why? Because hundreds of employees who answered phones were fired after Kristi Noem didn't approve new contracts.

"Efficiency."

As Trump slashed weather agency, his appointees have ties to companies that stand to benefit from privatizing forecasts Companies poised to step into the void have ties to those tapped by President Donald Trump to run agencies that collect

As Trump slashes NOAA and the National Weather Service, several of his appointees โ€” including Howard Lutnick โ€” have close financial ties to companies that would profit from privatizing weather forecasting.

Everything is for sale.

Cue the tax the churches arguments
1. All churches pay taxes
2. Teeny tiny churches that run soup kitchens, given community space for AA, counseling, charity etc at low/no cost and host daycare etc canโ€™t afford it
3. POC, immigrants and Black churches would be hit the hardest

Today Netanyahu told Trump that he just nominated him for the Nobel peace prize.

I keep thinking of this Scripture:

โ€œWoe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!โ€ -Isaiah 5

Lord, have mercy.

FOX NEWS Headline: Transgender female runner who beat 14,000 women at London Marathon offers to give medal back

More Accurate Headline: Transgender female runner who placed 6,159th at London Marathon offers to give participation medal back 

When you see these sorts of headlines, ask yourself โ€” what kind of story is the media trying to create? how do they want me to react? is this really news, or just a desperate attempt to stir up transphobia and boost ratings?
