The Most Evil Speech Imaginable: Trump and Bukele At the National Prayer Breakfast
YouTube video by Culture, Faith, and Politics The Most Evil Speech Imaginable: Trump and Bukele At the National Prayer Breakfast

Nat'l Prayer Breakfast has become an absolute joke...and now obscenely anti-christ.

The Evangelicals Who See Trumpโ€™s Viciousness as a Virtue At the National Prayer Breakfast, the president tested his audienceโ€™s commitment to Christian ethics.

There is a decision to make in the evangelical christian world...stand with Jesus' teachings or continue to endorse a cruel, vulgarian for president. We are watching...and...waiting for you to make the right call.

Being willing to change one's mind when presented with new information is the mark of maturity and a controlled ego.

Hoping more maga show this maturity before it's too late.

All pedos need to be prosecuted, whether they are from camp or Epstein. A country that doesn't protect its most vulnerable is not much of a country.

NATOโ€™s Leader Is Totally Lost What does Mark Rutte think heโ€™s doing?

I like Mark Rutte, I think he's doing a great job given the awkward position he finds himself in, but Stephen Walt makes some very good points here about dealing with the chaos of the Trump administration.

Hopefully one day we will have a normal government again where we aren't compelled to watch and fight everyday for our neighbors basic rights and to be a part of the world moving forward in a positive way.

Trumpโ€™s National Defense Strategy Tries to Imagine Climate Change Away Sycophancy and ideology have replaced realistic assessments of dangers.

The Trump administration's recently released National Defense Strategy "wholly ignores one of the primary stressors in the global security environment: climate change," write Council Senior Nonresident Fellow @busbyj2.bsky.social and Greg Pollock. They explore the implications in @foreignpolicy.com:

Quote from Elora Mukherjee: It is not an enormous ask that we protect children from needless cruelty.

Thanks to the efforts of @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and other advocates, the boy in the blue bunny hatโ€”five-year-old Liam Ramosโ€”is home from ICE detention.

But hundreds of kids remain in facilities that are no place for children.

Release them all.

Operation Metro Surge is not making Minnesota safer. Today's announcement is a step in the right direction, but we need a faster and larger drawdown of forces, state-led investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

The Logical End Point of โ€˜America Firstโ€™ Foreign Aid Under Trump, foreign aid is no longer an ideal. Itโ€™s just a deal.

US foreign aid has never operated perfectly. But now instead of looking for where we can save the most lives, we are looking to where we can extract something America wants. It's just sick.

Welcome to the Clicktatorship In the Trump administration, even budget proposals read like Truth Social posts.

Absolutely brilliantly insightful! The Trump administration is a Clicktatorship.

"Poster brain and authoritarianism reinforce each other: They thrive on conspiracy theories, lack all restraint, and jump to extreme solutions."
