Choosing to let kids go hungry The USDA asserts that Democrats are blocking funding to secure “health care for illegal immigrants” and funding for “gender mutilation procedures.” All of these claims are false.

The official website of the USDA claims that on November 1, the SNAP program will run out of funding. The USDA asserts that Democrats are blocking funding to secure “health care for illegal immigrants” and funding for “gender mutilation procedures.”

Tennessee has a $1 billion budget surplus, so Governor Lee could do more than the nothing he's currently doing.

The longer I've worked in technology, the more I've realized that so much of the tech space is wasteful, greedy, and harmful.

“I and so many others are allowed to live because the Gospel says we have value. And that Gospel has spread like wildfire … I am reminded that while, yes, there is life outside these walls, perhaps there is something eternal in this room as well.”

“That's the radical nature of the Gospel — that sick people cease to be burdens but instead become people that ought to be cared for.”

Will loved the scriptures. He had a master's degree in theology and started on his doctorate before he became too sick.

He talked often about the gospel and its global influence, especially on how modern society adopted the Judeo-Christian belief that every person has intrinsic value.

Do these guys not watch the movies they use for propaganda? Maybe "There won't be a Shire" is actually a threat to destroy the last good places left?

Two things:

(1) Employers don't hand out jobs just because you need one, especially in 2025.

(2) Many people receiving SNAP benefits are employed, which should be an indictment of their employers' low wages.

There is evidence the UAE backed RSF is engaged in mass murder in El-Fashar in Darfur.

Why is the U.S. allowing the UAE - which we fund militarily - help the brutal RSF engage in mass atrocity?

FYI - this isn't just about Trump - the Biden Admin was letting this happen too.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

“The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a passion.

“On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.

“For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.”

ICE Is Using a University Building as a Deportation Office and the University Says It Can't Do Anything About It The Milwaukee School of Engineering is largely powerless to kick ICE out of a building it wanted to turn into a new academic center, according to audio of a meeting obtained by 404 Media.

Can the Third Amendment to the Constitution apply to a university in this case?

The second circuit court ruled that the term “owner” can apply to tenants, and the Milwaukee School of Engineering bought the building in 2023 with the understanding that ICE would move out the following month.

A federal agent's daring plan: Recruit Maduro's pilot to turn on the Venezuelan leader A federal agent had a daring plan: persuade Nicolas Maduro's chief pilot to surreptitiously divert the Venezuelan president’s plane to a place where U.S. authorities could nab the strongman.

This whole story would make a great movie, especially if there are no real heroes on either side.

“Imposing such tariffs or trade barriers and restrictions of any kind are steps that I am loath to take. And in a moment I'll mention the sound economic reasons for this: that over the long run such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer.”

The thing that angers me about people who use Christianity as a prop is how they apply God's grace to themselves and God's wrath to others.
