Your love must be sincere. Detest what is evil, cling to what is good. Love one another with the affection of brothers. Anticipate each other in showing respect. Rejoice in hope, be patient under trial, persevere in prayer. - St. Paul

Feel like we need to hear this right now.

Who will be left at the FBI when all those with integrity have either resigned or been forced out? More to the point, what will the Bureau be once that happens?

ICE Barbie refuses to directly answer whether the agent in the Renee Good shooting was put on administrative leave as required by agency policy. Why? Because this administration has no clue how to tell the truth.

Kristi Noem says Renee Good's actions were the very definition of *domestic terrorism*.

18USC 113B defines it as below. Sounds more like what happened on Jan. 6th.

The VP of gaslighting gaslights further by claiming he is being gaslighted (gaslit?), showing he is a true master of the dark arts:

J.D. Vance says critics are “gaslighting” over the ICE shooting. Verified video shows the officer stepped clear before firing, undermining a self-defense claim.

NSC spokesperson Brian Hughes said Monday. “The thread is a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials."

"Ominous" indeed when a SCOTUS justice, even in dissent, parrots political rhetoric rather than cite actual statutes or case law.

The Supreme Court’s Rebuff of Trump Is More Ominous Than It Looks
Two conservative justices joined the three liberals in ordering the administration to pay USAID contractors who are owed around $2 billion. But can that unlikely split hold?

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells us to remove the plank from our own eye before pulling the splinter from our brother's. This doesn't mean we shouldn't stand up against injustice, call out hypocrisy & lies, & oppose hate and prejudice. Jesus did the same. As long we examine our own actions too.

American foreign policy has always had its contradictory elements (supporting dictators who oppose communism, for example), but never have we so blatantly turned our back on an ally so abruptly and disgracefully in order to support a belligerent and toxic regime like we did today.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

Trump's first cabinet meeting. One of these things is not like the others. Can you spot the thing that doesn't belong (lurking in the background like a creeper).
