They're so certain that Jesus wants to spend eternity with a bunch of selfish, hateful fake Christian sociopaths.

Ran across this article today. A small glimpse into Peter Thiel’s ideology.

In the 2022 election cycle alone, he gave roughly $35 million to Republican, especially to PACs backing Vance, Blake Masters and DT.

I’m sure there’s nothing to be concerned about 🫣

Peter Thiel's off-the-record antichrist lectures reveal more about him than Armageddon

The Silicon Valley heavyweight drew on a wide swath of religious thinkers, including the French-American theorist René Girarde whom Thiel knew at Stanford University, and the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, whose work he said helped create the core of his own beliefs. He credited the English Catholic theologian Jonn Henry Newman as the inspiration for his four-part series, saying:
"Newman did four, so I'm doing four. I'm happy about it."

When the federal police become lawless and the FBI is ordered to ‘investigate’ the president’s enemies or be fired, that’s pretty good evidence that we really are becoming a fascist state.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

ICE and other Fed agents aren't the peacekeepers.
They're agents of chaos baiting decent, law-abiding Americans into situations they can then call an insurrection. When left alone to protest, as is their right, nothing bad happens. Trump's goons bring the bad.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

I don't believe it. Israel committed genocide and scorched earth destruction of Gaza with US weapons and cash. I don't think that Trump Gaza Plaza video they made was a joke. Palestinians will get the raw end of this deal and Trump and Bibi will build a gold mine on the graves of innocent children.

This Trump Administration has revoked media access over news coverage that didn't flatter the President, attacked outlets that published content that Trump doesn't like, and launched baseless investigations into Trump's perceived political enemies.

Gov't censorship is a threat to all Americans.

First James Comey. Now Letitia James. The president is weaponizing DOJ to punish his perceived enemies and push his authoritarian aims.

Michiganders will pay millions more on our power bills this year because the Trump administration forced an inefficient, dirty coal plant to stay open. And your power bill is going to keep climbing thanks to Trump's terrible energy policies. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/o...

The president is going after clean energy, and Americans will face higher bills as a result.

This IS indeed a big deal for our West Michigan-based manufacturers— an even BIGGER deal would be to federalize this policy.

That’s why I introduced my bipartisan bill, the Paving The Way For American Industry Act, to ensure that critical infrastructure materials are made right here in America.

Believe what you want, but I don't trust Trump or Netanyahu. What kind of peacemakers are they really? Funding, stocking, & executing a genocide and scorched earth in Gaza, then "making peace"? Watch. Those two will be building Trump casino resorts on the graves of dead Palestinians by next year.
