Increasingly a man of sorrow over evil within and without. Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner (Luke 18:13). Confident in the sufficiency of Christ, not in myself.

I deleted my account the day before Vance & Trump berated Zelenskyy. I decided to come back because the betrayal of Trump and his sycophants must be met by fierce opposition from every American.

Lord, have mercy. I don't like troops on our streets, Lord, but protect them from violence, just as we want to be protected from violence. Bring healing where there is injury. Protect from death where there is danger of loss of life. Bring justice for this evil that has been perpetrated.

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

Frankly, the only reason Russia would accept a peace plan that Ukraine has already agreed to is if Putin is in a worse position than we realise. If he were winning, he’d just keep ploughing on.

To me, the hardest apologetic challenges for Christians are not logical, but existential -
~ problem of suffering & evil
~ hypocrites in the church
~ children leaving the faith
To those who struggle with these, I have no good answers except Peter's confession - "Lord, to whom else shall we go?"

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

So, it was a Trump-Putin call that led to the 28 point plan Trump says the 🇺🇲 drafted 🤢
He advised Putin to call Trump, congratulate him on the Gaza deal, and present Russia as eager for peace before Zelensky visited the White House.
Two days later, Putin called Trump in a discussion Trump described as “very productive.”

So, since Trump admits the 🇺🇲 drafted the original 28 point 🇺🇦-🇷🇺 peace plan:
Did he and his team rely on notes from one of Trump's many phone calls with Putin to create that draft?
-OR-
Are Trump and his team so far in the tank for Putin they know all the 🇷🇺 talking points by heart?

Trump’s latest tweet. He is taking full responsibility for the “peace” plan. It’s not Witkoff’s, Vance’s or Kushner’s.
It’s Trump’s and it has always been Trump’s.
