An interesting tidbit:
For far too long the Christian Church has used the fear factor as a means of control, manipulation, and determining beliefs.
Because of that, far too many Christians were taught to fear the left so much that they began to see the far right as their savior.
(Rev. B. C.)

Today the American Treasury announced that they are considering issuing a one dollar coin, with Trump's face on it.
If this happens... finally.... they too can call their dollar coin a "LOONEY" as well...

Jesus told us to go make disciples of all the nations (all the ἔθνος, the Gentiles, the multitudes, all ethnic groups) baptizing and teaching them all Jesus commanded.
He didn’t say go and make your political nation state a Christian nation.

Brainworm JFK Jr. is at it again.
He has stated that he met Charlie Kirk in July 2001 and that they quickly became "soulmates".
Sorta odd, since Kirk would have been only 8 years old at the time.

After Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump and his allies wasted no time crafting an insidious and baseless narrative: that the left is violent, the right is under siege, and only they can restore order. Sound familiar? The Nazis tried the same playbook.
Is Charlie Kirk Their Reichstag Moment?
Trump and the GOP are itching to exploit Kirk’s murder to expand their authoritarian aims

Florida is moving to end all vaccine mandates.
The move would make Florida the first state to end the practice of requiring certain vaccines for students.
The spread of disease, because of this, will be problematic.

Netanyahu says Israel regrets the 'mishap' at the Gaza hospital, where 20 people were killed.
Folks... when I spill water, that's a mishap.
When artillery hits a hospital, & kills 20 people (including 5 journalists), it's quite a bit more than a "mishap".

There is no Christian theology or eschatology that can justify man-made starvation.
Even if people are viewed as enemies, the Scriptures still tell us what to do:
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.”
The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the Pentagon or the IDF.
