Pam Bondi said on Fox that the FBI’s arrest of a county judge is “sending a very strong message.” Yes, Pam, and that message is, this country is being ruled by fascist traitors.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

And it still is that. But lately I’ve been asking—other than myself, to whom am I writing?
I think it’s for people who want more in their relationship with God. Not more noise or striving. But more honesty. More presence. More truth about how life actually feels, and how God might still meet us there.
I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

They're physically removing the Greensboro lunch counter from the Smithsonian—the actual counter where four brave students sparked a national movement in 1960. This isn't just about museum artifacts. It's about who gets to exist in America's story, whose courage is remembered, and whose resistance is honored.

There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
You had me concerned immediately with the words “pandemic preparedness” and approved by Congress. Let’s hope Klaus Schwab’s recent comment about needing a “Black Swan” event doesn’t happen.
The Trump administration says it mistakenly deported a Maryland man legally in the United States to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador and now says there's nothing they can do about it. This is unacceptable. First, this is why we have due process in America to avoid these "mistakes." Second, US taxpayers are paying $20,000 per inmate…
