Christian Nationalism is NOT Christianity, but it is a national security threat.

πŸ“Œ The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has received over 200 complaints that troops are being told war with Iran is meant to accelerate β€œArmageddon.”

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

ICE paid Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions almost $1.5 million in August for SUVs Federal records show ICE paid Hendrick Motorsports Technical Solutions just under $1.5 million to buy SUVs in the months before CBP's surge in Charlotte.

Many of them, but not all, came from the Hendrick dealership businesses based in North Carolina.

It is not collateral damage when the school was intentionally targeted.

Which it was.

It is a war crime.

It may also have been a colossal error. Both can be true.

But it is not in any way collateral damage.

You're not wrong. I can only imagine the conversation he had with the plastic surgeon.

"America should be ruled by Christianity as I interpret it," says the Christian theology professor. πŸ™„

What a load of BS. It's Christian Nationalism in sheep's clothing.

"The Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." -Treaty of Tripoli, 1797

He speaks "American"? Does he mean Navajo, or Hopi, or Cherokee, or...?

All other languages, including English, are imported, Kegsbreath.

David Copperfield: Magician accused of sexual misconduct Lawyers for the illusionist say the allegations are "false and scurrilous".

There have been accusations against Copperfield for abusing women before - the Epstein file inclusion isn't the first on this.

It just doesn't matter to most of us. We know that about 90% of directly held stock is owned by the wealthiest 10%, and when you look at how much stock value is held, it concentrates in the top 1%.

The media focus on "the markets" is a symptom of the cancer that is our ownership by the oligarchy.

I said this in 1990 and in 2003. It is still true:

"Support the troops" includes saying clearly and forcefully that their lives should not be thrown away on foolish missions that cost lives but do not make us safer or more free. I do not support those who send young people off to die needlessly.

Americans aren't facing a democratic collapse. We’re living in its aftermath | Eric Reinhart The US was an oligarchy well before Trump’s first term. Recognizing this reality is essential to building a true democracy

"If democracy is not simply a constitutional arrangement but a lived experience of shared fate, ethical commitments, and civic presence, then millions of Americans have very clearly not lived in one for decades."

Well worth the read.

Notice how the same people who lost their minds when Obama saluted a Marine while holding a coffee cup are silent when the Orange Turd disrespects a service member who died following an order he issued.

Tax cuts for the rich
... make the rich richer.

Boosting military spending
... makes the rich richer.

Slashing regulations
... makes the rich richer.

It's staggering how many people can't see the shared objective of all of these policy choices, and so many others.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

It's kind of amazing how they have managed to follow each instance of incompetent madness with another which is even more egregious. DOGE = incompetent madness. Killing USAID = incompetent madness. ICE = incompetent madness. Attacking Iran = incompetent madness. Just reams of chaos.

Excellent short 🧡 by Jennifer Schulze, who knows how TV is made and also knows Fox disinformation when she hears it.

Con artists con. Fox is a Right Wing disinfo outlet. This is the reason they exist.
Most ppl are in denial of the fact that disinfo works. Others pretend it doesn't exist e.g. by treating Fox as news, being surprised when they constantly lie.
Denial of reality got us here.

It's kind of rich that an American president would criticize a British PM for being "late to the war."

But also, I thought it wasn't a "war"? πŸ€”

No longer true, because today we have a government by and for those who pay the majority of bribes. So it's majority rule, in a sense, but not as any of the founders ever intended.
