Gracias a Dios me acaba de contactar la agencia migratoria ICE para informarme que esta noche van a soltar al joven migrante a quien le pague la fianza esta mañana 🙏 Así que ahora estoy a punto de partir hacia el centro de detención para recogerlo y llevarlo con su familia… Que alegría que después de 3 semanas detenido finalmente estará con su madre en libertad nuevamente ❤️

Did I lose 300 subscribers for calling Donald Trump a tyrant? Yes, I did.

Do I stand by what I said? Yes, I do.

If you support Donald Trump, then you should unsubscribe.

I prefer subscribers who aren’t fascist.

Ustedes saben que yo siempre he apoyado a Nayib Bukele por el gran trabajo que ha hecho en limpiar a El Salvador, pero creo que actualmente está cometiendo un gran en error.

Y es que por lo visto, parece ser que Bukele ha aceptado hacer el “trabajo sucio” de los Estados Unidos en temas de migración a cambio de un poco de dinero. Al hacer …

Jeanette is 53 years old and originally from Mexico. She came to the United States in 1997 and has lived here ever since. She has always worked and currently has three children who are US citizens.

She clearly poses no risk to national security, ye…

A PERSONAL SHARE

I have one subscriber who reads a single chapter of my book every week, than emails me every Sunday morning with his feedback.

He's 75, and has no idea how to use the Substack app. He will never see this note.

It makes my entire week when I get his email. He is a wonderful soul, funny and lovely, and he keeps me moving forward.

How do I even repay that?

I have to record and release a podcast with my son, Ezra.

He’s 5, his attention span is short, and he just learned to read, but I need y’all to get acquainted with the successor to my empire.

I believe in the power of nepotism.

A place of no shame and no pain.

A majority of Americans have an unfavorable view of:

👎Elon Musk

👎Trump weakness on Russia

Keep speaking up.

you have never had an original thought.

and you never will.

but this is not an insult. it’s a gift.

the mind is a collector, a curator, a weaver of threads that existed before you.

your originality is not in what you think, but in how you combine, twist, and breathe life into what has already been known.

you are an instrument, not a source.

play your song.

I have just been introduced to the music of Andrew Dittman, who composes and arranges for the liturgy and is based in Dallas, TX. This is where creativity should be focussed if we want to stimulate a beautiful, noble and accessible broader contemporary culture that speaks of Christian and Western values. His work is performable by any reasonable church choir.
